You make an excellent point that our niche really should inform our products. My store's niche is very specific to my faith. Wouldn't you know, I've made a bunch of sales already and can tell which designs are more popular than others, which has informed new designs that are selling just as well as the older ones. BUT! Now I'm ready to expand my "products" rather than just designs, and I need to consider who my buyer is and why they like those specific designs. I wonder if you have any videos on doing simple market research for our niches?

I was ‘in’, at forget shirt or mug. But ultimately, what anyone in this sector does, is create their own brand. No customer, ever, bought a brand without it meeting their needs. So any dreams of printing money, relate to exactly meeting the needs of potential customers

Great video, Joe, I was in T-shirt printing and tried to create my own brand, "Back In The Day" and created dozens of designs. I had regular visits to the home page, but few orders and tried different forms of marketing but after about 4 years decided to shutter the whole thing. I will be thinking about your new approach and see if I can find a niche that would work for me to start testing ideas. Thanks man!

Thank you! This actually makes sense. I'm so tired of seeing videos claiming "why I don't do xyz anymore" but its a total 180 from the method being searched. I have some close ties to some very specific niches that I want to sell to, not as a primary product but because I know the pride and advocacy these ties have. I've been hesitant because tees are so overdone, and I'm not impressed with the profit margins. I didn't want to waste my time. I'm excited to watch your series and look for some higher profit margin products to sell.

I completely get your point. I am still also wondering isn't the idea of print on demand to not hold inventory? if it's truly on demand, does it really matter if it's low volume? I mean, give people hundreds of options or design their own T-shirt, then print it on demand. It shouldn't really matter how much they buy. The only inventory is the blank t shirts, along with the printers and ink.

Great video about this aspect of your approach. The POD KZbinrs who teach to sell shirts will emphasize that almost everyone wears shirts, most people have dozens of shirts and will always buy more, and therefore you can easily get impulse purchases, and return customers buying multiple shirts over time (if you do email marketing to keep bringing them back). Whereas with a metal sign, shower curtain, or car seat covers, not everyone wants that kind of product, it's a higher price so it's a bigger decision, and most customers probably won't buy multiple over time (?). Ultimately I'm sure either approach can work if done properly. But one point for your approach-it seems like you're able to get a higher profit margin even when paying for traffic. I don't think anyone selling shirts with paid traffic are getting a 35% margin.

Just found the channel and thought you made some excellent points. A lot of POD sellers focus on one specific product to have a more professional look to their shop/storefront. Do you advise making a separate shop for every product/niche you want to sell to, or do you find it more effective to just categorizing different products/niches within one shop?

@@sethro2756 I watched another video about doing this w/ Amazon, that in their contract, it says that they recognise your design is yours, and you are giving the permission to print it.

POD is infested with the culture of ripping off the designs of others. I'm not saying that Joe is. Short of just ripping off designs, research tools powered by AI can be used to target specific designs that are doing very well, so the game that is accepted in the POD culture, is taking such a design and just changing it up a little bit. Presto!

Thank you for this very insightful and thought provoking video. As you so aptly point out, one size does not fit all and just because a niche is filled does not mean there aren't ways to actually take advantage of that seeming impediment to success. The secret to selling anything is to have a product that you discern the prospect has an innate emotional need for born of their circumstances. To the degree that you are able to seek out and find such prospects and approach them in a manner that enables you to present your product to them intelligently, succinctly and in an appealing, engaging fashion? Your chances of selling them are quite high but, therein lies the rub! Lol Because this is where the vast majority of people selling fall down and fail - whether it's POD tee shirts, cars or anything; they lack the creativity and high level selling ability requisite to enable them to discern such things. All the more for the rest of us who can!

Hi, I have some doubts about POD and I have not yet seen any videos that talk about this.

And if they are different products from the same supplier, would the shipping prices of each item be added? Are customers actually okay with that?

Thank you for posting this comment! And please forgive what has turned into a rant🤯🤭… I’ve created a ton of designs for my new shop and have finally started to add the items, but in ‘hidden’ mode for this exact reason! I’m just going off of how I would feel when shopping anywhere other than Amazon. I’m not adversed to paying for reasonable shipping but I admit to abandoning many a cart when the shipping seems ridiculous. And offering free shipping either jacks up product prices or decimates my profit margins. I’ve watched countless helpful videos from YT POD gurus, and researched my ass off to find the best products to offer my designs on. But the problem is that the best of the best means at least 2-3 different print providers, and way more if one of those is Printify, because they’re just a hub for a ton of smaller providers! T-shirts are easy enough, all providers are pretty much competitive in that space. But finding a provider that also offers a healthy selection of tote bags, glassware, notebooks, pillows, canvas wall art, etc., is impossible! So if a customer likes a design and wants to buy a t-shirt, a notebook, and a pillow from my shop, they’re going to be hit with 3 stacked shipping charges in their cart! I’m not so concerned about items arriving separately; every online store does that now so customers are used to it. But when shipping nears, or crosses, the $20 mark, that’s a valid excuse to abandon cart. I’ll try to find the video, mentioned in Joe’s reply, and watch it… hopefully that will help me out of what feels like a crippling holding pattern of dread😩🤞😂

My problem is creating product descriptions. I'll create many designs and then get stuck finishing the product creating titles and descriptions. I'll come up with an image design concept. Create the image (with or without text). Then so any color adjustments and other edits. I may end up with a handful of useful images to use in the same theme. Then I got to upload them and start creating products and mockups. Then the mockups need to be downloaded and edited. Then re-uploaded. Then I'm left with several products in the same niche with the same theme but ask different but also similar. And they all need titles and descriptions..... And I don't want titles to be too similar not the descriptions. Then I have to consider SEO part of it. It's mentally draining if i must say. If I get one or two done per week that's great. Maybe I'm just not great at it. I will use chat gpt on occasion to help with SEO and such on certain topics or if it's a subject matter that I can't quite express in my own words I'll get a few examples to go with our piece together. But still I usually just make a list of things to describe the scene on the image. Then work on a hook of some kind. I just need 37 hour days and 8 days a week.

I can't entirely agree with you on this. T-shirts are a big money maker with the right designs in the right market. We do about 25 shows a year and average 1.5k-3k per show. Since doing shows we have noticed a huge uptick in sales on our website and, we often get repeat customers with custom orders. It's important to get yourself out there and get yourself noticed. If we had to start all over again we would have done shows before launching the website. I think starting on Etsy or Shopify first is a huge mistake. The market is oversaturated, and everyone is making the same things. Be creative, be different, and don't be afraid to try different things.

I typically say great designs have three things. The first is a graphic. The second is some sort of quote/message and the third is an overall aesthetic to the design Leggings obviously in some cases though won’t have text. Depends on the niche
