Side Hustle Playbook #2: Getting Started with Print-on-Demand 👕

Ready to start a zero-inventory online business? Print-on-Demand (POD) is the ultimate side hustle for creatives! You design the product, and the automation handles the production, shipping, and fulfillment—no stock needed.

In this second episode of the Side Hustle Playbook series, we break down the 5 essential steps to launch your profitable POD brand:

Platform Selection: Understand the trade-offs between a Marketplace (built-in traffic, lower margins) and an E-commerce Store (full control, must drive own traffic).

Niche & Design: Find the profitable overlap between evergreen demand and high-volume trends.

Tools & Files: Learn the required file specifications (PNG with a transparent background and 300 DPI) and the best tools to use, from Canva to Illustrator.

Presentation Sells: The crucial step of using high-quality, lifestyle mockups instead of flat product images to maximize sales.

SEO & Automation: Master Listing Optimization (SEO) with keyword-rich titles and tags, then set up the hands-off fulfillment process.

Follow this playbook to launch your first automated POD product today!
