Top 3 Sites to Start Print on Demand for Beginners

Whether you are a professional Graphic Designer or someone who is interested in making some extra cash, Print On Demand is a great business option for you. Because of its lucrative nature, more people are joining the POD business and it is getting more and more competitive every day. More POD sites are also popping up and it can be confusing to pick which ones you should work at if you are a new seller. So, here is a countdown of the 3 best POD sites in my opinion that you should choose.

 

3. Teespring

 Teespring is one of the earliest and best POD sites out there. In Teespring, you have the advantage of setting up multiple storefronts under one account. This means that you can target many niches at a time and you can do all of that under one account. Their products are high-quality and the customers never get a chance to complain about the quality of the products.

 

Now, there are also a few disadvantages to working on Teespring. The first major disadvantage of Teespring is that you have to put your own traffic into Teespring. This means that you will have to spend money through Facebook advertising (or any other method of your choice) and pay to test out which of your designs are actually working and driving sales. Teespring also charges a ridiculously high shipping fee of around $12 which is much more than its counterparts.

 

2. Red Bubble

 Red Bubble is a highly popular site that a lot of digital artists used to sell their art on merchandise. Over the years, it has got the attention of POD sellers as it is a great platform to attract buyers. Unlike Teespring, Red Bubble will do SEO for you and you don't have to necessarily have to put your own traffic into it to get found. You should know that it is not easy to show up in the search results on Red Bubble. You will have to spend time to research and come up with ideas where there is high search volume and low competition if you want to have success on Red Bubble.

 

There is only one noticeable disadvantage with Red Bubble. Their products tend to be more expensive than that of their counterparts and to keep your prices low, you will have to drop your own profit margins.

 

1. Merch By Amazon

 

Amazon is the biggest e-commerce website in the world and they have their own POD platform which is called "Merch By Amazon". While Teespring and Red Bubble have monthly traffic of 19.97 million and 38 million respectively, Amazon has whopping monthly traffic of 2.91 billion. So, your chances of getting organic traffic and making sales are the highest on this platform. If you can spend time doing the research, find good niches, and are capable of delivering attractive designs, this is the best platform for you.

 

Since this is the biggest e-commerce platform, the competition level is also very high. You will not just be competing with other POD sellers but also FBA sellers and so on. But if you are able to get around the competition, then the rewards will be amazing.

 

Final Advice

 

While there are a lot of POD platforms out there, I believe that if you are successful in any of these three platforms, then you can make a great deal of money with them. Start with working on one platform and figure out how to be successful there. If you don't have the money to pay for ads, get started with either Red Bubble or Merch By Amazon. Work hard, do the research, and before you know it, the sales will be coming your way. Good luck!
