Welcome back to the PODCast!
So which platform should you be focusing on for your print-on-demand business? On this week's show, Travis fly's solo as Josiah takes a well-deserved family break in Wyoming. He tackles the age-old debate: Etsy or Shopify? In the massive pros and cons list for each platform, Travis outlines the differences in these two behemoths and why one or the other might be your best option.
For example, Etsy boasts built-in traffic and low upfront costs, making it a beginner-friendly platform. But it's not all sunshine and rainbows; marketplace fees and reduced profit margins can sting. Conversely, Shopify offers extensive customization and higher profit potential but demands more technical know-how and marketing efforts. Don't miss out on this episode packed with practical advice and real-world strategies!

Play Later Play Later Lists Like LikedWelcome back to the PODCast! In this week's show, I share some things about the show that I've been considering for awhile. If you're a long time listener, you know I'm a straight shooter when it comes to this stuff, so buckle in. In all honestly, I've been thinking about the PODCast all wrong. I've been thinking of it as a product as opposed to a marketing instrument that could amplify interest in a print on demand coaching business (which doesn't really exist - at least not in the way I want it to.) Because of the weekly schedule of creating this show, it's been difficult to navigate it all - the challenges of content creation as well as the need to bolster my own POD business' growth. In the end, the Main Event of this episode delves into me redefining my priorities, as well as the strategic decision to scale back on podcast production (and all that comes with it) to focus on building a sustainable business model with a product that I'm proud of. Finally, I'd love for you to TAKE THIS SURVEY and let me know what would be important for you in a paid print on demand product (if I even end up creating one is still TBD.) It'll only take 2-3 minutes and will really help.

Play Later Play Later Lists Like LikedWelcome back to the Print On Demand Cast! in this week's episode, I take a deep dive into the pros and cons of in-house versus outsourced production. From quality control to scalability, each method presents its own set of challenges and opportunities. Whether it's analyzing the cost structure of a large coffee mug order or the logistics of efficient shipping, I provide insights into optimizing operations and maximizing profits. With practical examples and real-world scenarios, I hope to arm you with the knowledge to make strategic decisions for your print-on-demand business. At the end of the episode, I share a link to a google sheet I created that can help you figure out your profit margins for in-house and outsourced production. You can grab that for yourself at https://printondemandcast.com/production-comparison-sheet . Plus, in this week's Point Of Interest, I share two updates from Printful that I thought we're pretty cool. The first is a new product - custom jacquard knitting , a technique that transforms yarn into intricate patterns within the fabric itself. This innovation could elevate your print-on-demand offerings to new heights, or at least new profits! Secondly, I share a limited time discount Printful is offering to their Printful Growth subscribers from Nov 1 - Dec 15. I spend a lot of time talking about the embroidered trucker hat you can get shipped to your customer for under $15, but there are a few other popular products on the list. One last thing, if you want the full experience of this episode, you really should consider watching it on YouTube since I share my screen a lot.
