Lissa Talks Print on Demand

Lissa Chandler

Hey! My name is Lissa Chandler and I'm a professional photographer who's been selling print on demand tees and sweatshirts (and more!) on Etsy since the spring of 2022. And honestly? It is a freaking blast!

If you are a new print on demand seller - or exploring the idea of print on demand! - this is the place for you! Having been in the POD space since the spring of 2022, I wanted to create a resource for creative sellers looking for realistic goals. Building a consistent income off of print on demand is possible but, in this podcast series, we don't believe in get rich quick promises or passive income idealization. Sound like your jam? So happy you are here!

This limited series will launch weekly every Monday from January 8th to March 11th, 2024. Can't wait to share more with you!

Episode 014: Unique Ways to Market Your Print on Demand Business
Unique Ways to Market Your Print on Demand BusinessWelcome to my limited series on Print on Demand! In our fifteenth (and final!) episode I discuss:10 Ways to Market Your POD ShopHow More Advertising = More RecognitionMarketing Within Your GenreWanna know this episode in one quote? I got you!"When you’re new to business, ads can feel like a bad word. When you’re new to POD, niching down can feel like a bad word. One great thing about POD is that you don’t really need to niche down completely, especially if you’re selling on a platform. However, the more niched down you are, the easier it’s going to be to market.Here’s what I mean! If you sell floral wall pennants with cute positive affirmations, you can easily start to brainstorm your dream customer. If you sell wall pennants and pillows and candles with no repeat designs or repeat themes, it will be harder to market what you’re creating. See this as an opportunity! The more you build your shop, the more opportunities you’re going to have, both in advertising and overall growth."NEW EPISODES EVERY MONDAY: January 8th to March 11th, 2024 . After that?

Episode 013: How To Spot AI Mockups When Using Mockups with Your Print on Demand Designs
How To Spot AI Mockups When Using Mockups with Your Print on Demand DesignsWelcome to my limited series on Print on Demand! In our thirteenth episode, I discuss ways to spot AI mockup photographs. Here's the biggest ways to spot them!Hands Look WonkyNo Models Look The SameSomething is "Off"Everything is Overly SmoothLook Closely at Each ItemNOTE: I am not here to bash AI. As a longtime photographer, though, I thought it would be helpful to address the ways I spot AI images.Wanna know this episode in one quote? I got you!"When you’re working with mockups, know that sometimes things are going to vary. For example, the color of a sand sweatshirt is going to look different in a brightly lit photo with a white backdrop than a sand sweatshirt on a dark background lit with a flash. With AI, though, we’re not talking about differences like this. Instead, we are talking about ways to spot AI when looking for your mockups. As a mockup seller, I’ve noticed an uptick of messages where customers wanted to double check that no AI was used in my mockups. I’ve also noticed an increase in conversations where my customers have felt disappointed when they bought another seller’s mockup only to realize later that it is completely AI generated. Here's the ways I spot 'em! "-------NEW EPISODES EVERY MONDAY: January 8th to March 11th, 2024 . After that? We're just playing it by ear.*Marked explicit in case there are swears!

And, while there is occasionally some truth to that, I love Print on Demand because we can really just create whatever you want to create. If you’re listening to this, that might mean that you really just want to create shirts with rainbows. It might mean you want to make shirts with minimal text that say ridiculous things like “I like salt and pepper but paprika is better”. Is that a shirt I’d wear? No. Is it something I could totally see a funny cook wearing? Absolutely!Your niche isn’t just about a certain type of item or a certain occupation or interest within an interest.

Each sunflower is a different variety. So, that first year, there’s just three sunflowers. You freaking love these sunflowers and, without knowing much about sunflowers, decide to save ten seeds from each these three sunflowers. Of these sunflowers seeds, ten become mature, blooming sunflowers the next year. So, at the end of that year, you save ten more and you have the same survival rate. You started with three sunflowers thrown into a patch of dirt. The next year, you have ten sunflowers. The third year? You have thirty. And that same year? You decide you want to add in a few new sunflower varieties and, by that summer, you have a booming flower patch of 50 sunflowers. They’re all different kinds of sunflowers - some short, some tall, some yellow, some orange - but they’re all sunflowers.

Where do you go from here?One of the most amazing parts of Print on Demand is this: You don’t have to do things one way. More important? Because there’s no physical inventory, you can scale however you want. Traditionally, you’d have to order - and then off load - your products. With POD, though, you can test a ton of stuff and, if something starts to sell, you don’t have to wait for it to arrive and test.

I've got you!"Like with anything, there are benefits and risks to Print on Demand. Before this podcast really ramps up, I wanted to address the big elephant in the room: Is Print on Demand passive income?Personally, I don’t believe in passive income except for, like, interest accumulation. To me, that is truly passive. So, while I’m not any kind of expert when it comes to finance, I like to think of print on demand earnings as a form of, like, book royalties. Is it different than royalties? Absolutely! But! It’s similar, too! When you have a traditional job, you know what you are going to make every hour. When you’re taking on a creative project - writing a book, creating artwork, designing, etc. - it’s totally different.Sometimes, people will make a lot of money for minimal effort.

When I talk about POD as a hobby, keep in mind that it is still a business. While I do POD because it's fun, creative, and relaxing, it's part of my overall business model and definitely something I find so much joy in selling + sharing with others.
