Print on Demand Playbook: Introduction

“A vision without a strategy remains an illusion.”


-- Lee Bolman

Today, more entrepreneurs than ever will


be motivated to get out of bed and spend
long hours in front of their computer
screens because of the massive
opportunities emerging in one industry in
particular -- print-on-demand.

According to projections from Credence Research, the


custom tshirt printing market is expected to pass the
$10B threshold by 2025.

As for the broader global printing industry, which


encompasses every POD novelty product imaginable,
some projections call for a $800B market by 2022.

3
Opportunities to generate income with no ostensible up-
front startup costs has lured countless entrepreneurs
into the undeniably lucrative waters of POD (particularly
in recent weeks as global conditions have driven the
workforce to work-from-home opportunities).

Unfortunately, most of these entrepreneurs will fail


miserably. And despite the prospect of "no upfront
costs" to get started on many POD platforms, I can
promise you that many entrepreneurs will lose a fortune
(on graphic designers, research services, ads, VAs, etc.)
trying to start their tshirt and novelty product brands. No
other "free to start" business is truly more expensive
than this one.

To be clear, however, the reason for failure won't be


because of erroneously hyped potential of POD. That
"hype," if anything, is actually quite muted. Millionaires
will continue to be minted at a brisk pace in POD in the

4
coming years. The reason for failure will be due to three
specific errors and missteps I see all the time with
entrepreneurs in this space.

Mistake 1: Choosing the wrong niches for the wrong


audiences on the wrong platforms.
Mistake 2: Believing that "passive income" is probable in
print-on-demand. POD isn't passive. It's proactive.
Mistake 3: Spending too much time on the wrong
priorities and too much money on the wrong resources.

Knowing where to focus your time, creativity, and


resources will make or break your POD efforts. And
contrary to conventional wisdom, those who get it right
and find the most success tend to be those who spend
the least amount of money.

So how can you be among those who get it right when


there are so many different schools of thought and
diverse ways of approaching print on demand? In my
opinion, there is no single right way to do POD. But there

5
is one approach that, for me and others I've worked with
and mentored, has yielded the best results across all
print on demand platforms.

Many successful sellers focus on one or two POD


platforms, uploading designs in a mixed bag of niches.
But in the world of digital commerce, it is never prudent
or practical to put all of your eggs in one basket. From
closures and freezes, to acquisitions and bankruptcies, it
is impossible to predict which POD companies will thrive
at the same pace as the print on demand industry itself
in years to come. This is why the smartest entrepreneurs
in the space are working to secure a foothold in all of the
key players in POD, including but not limited to:

• Merch By • Society6 • Teespring


Amazon • SunFrog • CafePress
• Etsy • Threadless • Design by
• Redbubble • Teezilly Humans
• Spreadshirt • Teepublic
• Zazzle • Zazzle

6
While there are specific strategies that work optimally
for each, there is one strategy that works best for those
who wish to monetize all available platforms. I'm
referring to a print-on-demand universal playbook of
sorts for your universal catalog (a universal catalog refers
to a collection of designs made to be uploaded on every
POD platform to which you have access or wish to sell
on). It's an approach that has driven profitable results for
me and others on all of the leading PODs in today's print
on demand market.

The strategy is simple: Devote 10% of your "universal


catalog" to each of ten specific content categories (the
designs can be seasonal and/or evergreen). With this
approach, 100% of your universal catalog will be equally
divided among 10 bankable genres.

Let's explore each.

7
Wordless Designs

Thousands of remarkable
designs with equally remarkable
potential are ruined with the
wrong words.

It's so difficult for entrepreneurs


in the print-on-demand space to commission a unique
piece of artwork and let the artwork speak for itself on a
tshirt or other product. They feel inclined if not
compelled to affix a message on these designs when no
messages are needed.

Although most tshirt and novelty products benefit from


an image-message combo, there are some instances
where messaging simply isn't need. What are those
instances?

1. When the image communicates a theme that is easy to


understand or can be interpreted in so many different
8
ways that a message would narrow the scope of its
appeal.
2. When the image is unique and hasn't been used
elsewhere. Purchased clip art bundles should always be
tweaked or featured alongside a unique message so that
the seller doesn't run the risk of simply offering an image
that is likely already available widely on other products.

For wordless designs (which are among my best


performers on Redbubble), listing language is even more
important than usual. Using a broad but reasonable mix
of keywords in your product description language is
where your designs can really do their talking. If
numerous niches are represented in your design that
appeal to an expansive range of audiences, your titles,
bullets and descriptions must be leveraged to talk up
your design to the right potential buyers.

9
The shared image of a
steampunk underwater
explorer holding a skeleton
mermaid is a prime example
of a graphic design that
requires no words. Created by
Adam Guballa of Tshirtfella, I
have targeted this design to
numerous audiences with diverse interests -- sci-fi,
steampunk, mermaids, horror, aquatic, skulls, and more.
Had I applied a message to this design, it would likely
have likely removed the ability of audiences to apply
their own interpretation to the design and therefore
limited the number of sales I could have made.

10
Similarly, here's another design
from my catalog that also delves
into multiple niches -- skeletons,
romance, flowers, love, and, once
again, steampunk. Various
audiences could be targeted with
this design that, while appearing
to be appropriate for Valentine's Day, is actually
evergreen in nature and can sell any time of year in the
absence of messaging that restricts its shelf-life.

My alien 80's music lover design is a


personal favorite that requires no
words. I share this example because
face-centric designs are among the
most effective for wordless-designs.
Everything from facial expressions to

11
accessories (like glasses) can communicate themes better
than words do in many instances.

As the old saying goes, if you've made your point, stop


talking. This is also true in the world of print-on-demand,
where sometimes the best thing to say on your designs
(at least 10% of them) is nothing at all.

12
Heroic Designs

Every print-on-demand
portfolio should consist of at
least 10% of designs
dedicated to "heroes" --
professionals who hold heroic
standing in the eyes of
communities and cultures the
world over. This group includes police officers,
firefighters, military active duty and retired military
veterans, healthcare professionals (doctors, nurses, etc.),
educators/teachers, correctional officers, EMTs, drivers,
grocery store workers and other positions that are
responsible for protecting, saving or improving lives.

Until I established a solid foothold on more than a dozen


print-on-demand platforms, I made the incorrect
assumption that smaller PODs would never generate the
13
same degree of strong sales as Merch By Amazon does in
the heroes niche. As it turns out, every single platform
I'm on -- especially Etsy and Redbubble -- has been a
successful place to sell designs that honor first
responders and all of society's top heroes. The total
number of sales may be higher on Amazon, but as a
percentage of my overall designs that sell, the hero
apparel niche is an undeniable winner everywhere I've
deployed it.

Across all platforms, designs honoring heroes that


leverage themes like courage and bravery perform best.
It should be noted, however, that many of the designs I
sell in the “heroes” niche are made to be worn by a
heroic worker's family members, friends, and other loved
ones. For example, this might include tshirts for uncles of
nieces or nephews serving in the military, or pride-centric

14
sweatshirts to be worn by the spouse of a correctional
officer.

One approach that has yielded a consistent stream of


sales involves creating designs for the "lines" that exist in
reverence to essential service providers. Although you
may have heard of the thin blue line (to honor America's
police officers) or the thin red line (to honor America's
firefighters), there's a full spectrum of colored lines that
should be used for more POD designs.

These "lines," which are well known in the professional


fields for which they exist to honor individuals laboring in
those occupations, include:

• The Thin Blue Line for police officers


• The Thin Red Line for firefighters
• The Thin Green Line for military police, park rangers, game
wardens, conservation personnel

15
• The Thin White Line for emergency medical services,
including EMTs and paramedics
• The Thin Silver Line for correctional officers
• The Thin Orange Line for search and rescue personnel
• The Thin Yellow Line for security guards, truck drivers, and
loss prevention personnel
• The Thin Gold Line for dispatchers / emergency dispatchers

Military designs are particularly important in the hero


genre, as they are evergreen in nature but see strong
seasonal surges in the United States around patriotic
occasions (4th of July, Memorial Day, Veteran's Day) and
all other gift-giving holidays.

The art work that leads my sales in the military niche


includes skulls, distressed flags, firearms, ammunition,
soldier silhouettes, dog tags, and combat boots.
Messages pertinent to family, faith, and patriotism
dominate sales to a degree that can't even remotely be
matched by any other messaging theme.
16
A powerhouse theme worth
exploring is "Red Fridays,"
which refers to the practice of
wearing red (or partially red)
clothing and designs every
Friday in remembrance of
military veterans currently
serving overseas. Military family members wear red on
Fridays until their loved ones return from deployment. In
this setting, "red" is an acronym for "Remember
Everyone Deployed."

Don't be deterred by the amount of competition in the


Red Fridays niche. Military families love these types of
designs and often collect them. Tailoring Red Friday
designs to specific family members is a valuable strategy
to keep in mind. My best selling Red Friday tshirts have

17
been focused on certain family members (e.g., "I Wear
Red on Fridays Until My Sister Comes Home.").

As this niche and messaging tactic pertains to U.S.


military personnel, be sure to keep in mind all of the
various locations where soldiers are commonly deployed,
as a great way to approach Red Fridays messaging is to
incorporate the location of deployment into the design
message (for example: "I Wear Red on Fridays Until My
Husband Returns Home from Iraq"). By looking up the
latest U.S. military deployment statistics, you can
determine which nations currently house the largest
numbers of U.S. troops. This information will empower
you to make new generations of military designs that are
far more personal and pertinent to military families than
the overwhelming majority of current Red Friday designs
available across the POD landscape.

18
National Pride Designs

There isn't a single


print-on-demand
platform that fails to
sell a lot of designs
that express national
pride.

From patriotic
Americans, to proud
Mexican patriots,
messages that are
anchored in national or ethnic identity will never go out
of fashion.

In my own personal approach to this strategy, there are


two roads I regularly travel with generally positive
results.

19
First, I apply patriotism to jobs. For
instance, in the United States,
union labor jobs (carpenters,
plumbers, heavy machine
operators, etc.) are viewed as
innately patriotic positions, as
many of them support American infrastructure through
construction. I've been making American pride-related
construction worker designs since the early days of my
print-on-demand career some five years ago. They have
sold consistently on every platform where I've
experimented.

Second, I apply national pride to


exotic or fanciful themes as well as
culinary motifs. Whether it involves
using the colors of a nation's flag to
fill beautiful silhouettes of

20
everything from horses
to mountains, or
crafting humorous
messages about
beloved ethnic cuisine,
expressions of national
pride take many
different forms. 10% of
your POD catalog should explore as many of them as
possible.

In my experience there are multiple national/ethnic pride


group references that are most effective at driving sales
in this genre, including:

• American • Italian
• Mexican • Indian
• Canadian • African
• German • French

21
• Chinese • Puerto Rican
• Japanese • Polish
• Australian • Dutch
• Irish • Brazilian
• British • Ecuadorian
• Middle Eastern • Jamaican
• Swedish • Norwegian

Pride in one’s heritage will forever be represented in


print-on-demand’s numerous platforms. And those who
fail to represent this pride, even to a small degree, will
ultimately be leaving money on the table.

22
Geometric and Minimalistic Designs

What first appeared as a trend


in my sales on Redbubble,
Teezilly, Etsy, and TeePublic is
now a pattern across every
single POD platform where I
currently have products for
sale.

I'm referring to oddly artistic creations that span


everything from geometric shapes, to swirling fractals
and patterns that fill recognizable silhouettes and
shapes.

Most of my designs in this genre use few words. In effect,


I let the shapes and the imagery convey what words
generally cannot.

23
My personal favorite shape to deploy is the triangle,
typically comprised of geometric fragments and filled
with psychedelic patterns.

In a piece titled "Knock Design into Shape. Psychology of


Shapes" on the Tubik blog, author Alina Arhipova writes:

“Triangle is an energetic and dynamic shape that is always


associated with motion and direction. The lines are placed
that way so our eyes automatically move to the top of a
triangle or in the direction it is placed. Triangles can have
different meanings. An upright triangle brings feelings of
stability and balance but the reversed one looks risky and
ready to fall giving people a sense of tense.”

The most common meanings attributed to triangles,


according to Arhipova, are:

• Excitement • Balance
• Risk • Stability
• Danger

24
In short, triangles symbolize different things to different
people. It's a recipe for consistent and sustained sales
success for POD entrepreneurs who tap into the power
of shapes (but especially triangles) in their designs.

Shapes, swirls, and patterns can move mountains in POD


-- and I mean that literally.

I love using mountain range


silhouettes and filling the
shape or outline with beautiful
mixes of colors and patterns.
Ideal for the inspiration,
adventure, and nature niches,
bringing mountains to life in
this fashion has worked for me and many others on
multiple POD platforms.

25
Mermaids, unicorns, and Chinese
dragons are everywhere in POD.
And while it's hard to stand out
and succeed against loads of hefty
competition, using psychedelic
and groovy patterns to fill the
silhouettes of these and other images is an effective
tactic.

"I love to leave the interpretation of my music up to the


listener," Musician Erykah Badu once revealed. "It's fun
to see what they'll say it is."

The same is true of graphic tshirt designs.

It's important to note that an emerging powerhouse in


this POD category of design styles is what some deem
the "minimalistic" style.

26
Much like the geometric shape-centric designs and
patterns already discussed, minimalistic designs are even
simpler.

At a basic level, a minimalist design refers to an image


that is wholly uncomplicated, closely representing what
one may consider to be a hand-drawn sketch or doodle.

Sometimes made using just one solid color, a


minimalistic design is often presented with a succinct but
compelling message or phrase.

Imagine, if you will, a minimalistic tree (a simple tree


drawing) paired with a phrase to the effect of "Protect
The Trees." This sort of design can sell on many different
types of POD products (from totes to stickers) and appeal
to many passionate niche audiences, the most obvious of
which is environmentalists.

Minimalistic designs sell everywhere. Everywhere. In fact,


even the trendiest POD platforms that tend to emphasize
27
and elevate elaborate graphic designs over more
rudimentary artistic craftsmanship still see sales of
minimalistic art designs.

“Simple can be harder than complex," Steve Jobs once


said. "You have to work hard to get your thinking clean to
make it simple. But it’s worth it in the end because once
you get there, you can move mountains.”

The cross-platform power and popularity of minimalistic


designs proves that this style resonates with the masses,
motivates many, and makes good money for those in
POD who get it right.

28
Strange Designs

I've seen cartoon corndogs


dressed in tuxedos. There have
been DJ watermelons. And I'll
never forget the unicorn made
out of handgun and rifle shapes.

Whether you've scored with a


spaghetti dolphin design or
marveled at the sales success of a cactus dabbing,
strange sells like few other themes in POD.

I haven't encountered many hot POD portfolios on any


platform that lack at least some strange designs.
Although "strange" is a relative term, designs that fall
into this category typically include:

• Niche mash-ups • Abstract horror


• Weird wordless art • Space/science oddities
• Gross humor • Weird animal activities

29
"Strange" can be difficult to define and even more
difficult to design for, especially if you lack the knack for
weirdness. Of all the categories that I have most
frequently outsourced to professional graphic designers
over the years, it's the "strange" category, hands down.

To be clear, however, strange doesn't have to equate to


elaborate graphic designs. In reality, a simple phrase or
pairing of disparate graphical elements can produce
quite the strange design -- a design that could very well
wield significant niche appeal to passionate audiences.

30
Funny Designs

It's the oldest category in


the POD book.

Some of the first top


selling designs in the age
of print-on-demand
were funny tshirts.

The concept of "funny" is


both remarkably simple
and endlessly complex.
On one end, the "funny" label can be attributed to
anything that makes a person laugh. Conversely,
consumers only attribute the "funny" label to that which
makes them laugh individually.

So to find success in the POD marketplace, it's important


to pursue the "funny" niche via the two conduits to

31
humor that tend to lead to the vast majority of
audiences: puns and sarcasm.

While there will always be a market for funny apparel


and novelty products focused on types of humor that
appeal to niche audiences (dark humor, for example),
puns and sarcasm, in my experience, are the approaches
that cast the widest net over POD in the category of
"funny designs."

From sarcastic references about not wanting to work or


go to school, to puns about specific hobbies and clever
double-entendres, almost every niche imaginable can be
approached and addressed through humor and, more
specifically, puns and sarcasm.

There's no question about it. Regardless of the platform


you're on, funny is money.

32
Serious Designs

It goes without saying that


"serious" is subjective. What
is or isn't serious is a matter
of debate with some, but in
print-on-demand, some
niches and themes are
viewed as serious, if not
sacred, and should be treated as such on apparel.

Serious designs are those that speak to issues and


matters of profound importance, that are typically
addressed with reverence rather than humor.

Serious designs, for example, are those that tend to focus


on:

• Disease awareness • Activism


• Recovery • Protests
• Political issues • Social issues
33
At any given time in the calendar year, there are trending
and top-selling designs on every platform that offer
inspiring, awareness-focused messaging on everything
from mental health to elections.

To leverage the full potential of your POD presence, it is


integral to ensure that at least 10% of your uploaded
catalog capitalizes on one of the oldest practices in
society: using human bodies as messaging billboards by
way of tshirts to address serious matters that are of great
personal significance to wearers.

34
Faith Designs

The faith niche is so


popular, prominent, and
profitable that I routinely
work with POD sellers
who almost exclusively focus on this niche.

I can say without hesitation that faith is easily one of the


top bestselling niches anywhere in POD. From
PopSockets and tees, to totes and drink coasters,
expressions of religious faith and spirituality can sell on
any product on any platform.

There are six approaches to the broad "faith" niche that


must be considered to ensure that the 10% of your
portfolio that you allocate to faith designs are well-
rounded and have the potential to reach as many diverse
audiences in this category as possible.

35
The sub-categories to consider include:

Statements of faith: Using specific religious terms or general


statements of religious views and simple expressions of faith.

Nondenominational themes: Messaging and imagery that express


faith or religious views without limiting audience reach to specific
religions or religious dominations.

Religious tenets and scripture: Expressions and themes derived


from religious texts that appeal strongly to very religious people.

Patriotic religious crossovers: Themes and messages that link


religious faith and country.

Faith and other niches: Messaging and themes that unite faith
with other matters of personal importance or enjoyment
(example: "I Need Jesus and Coffee").

Spiritual and not religious: Not all designs in this niche are
religious in nature. Secular themes of hope, optimism, positivity
and having "faith" are big winners in the faith niche.

Despite having moments of seasonal strength, the faith


niche is ultimately one of the best performing evergreen
niches anywhere in print-on-demand.

36
Profession and Passion Designs

This will be the category that gives


you the most headaches. And it
won't be due to figuring out which
niches to include. It will be because
of the nearly impossible chore of
determining which niches to exclude.

There is only one rule of thumb with this category for


POD creators to consider when evaluating niches: If it's
something that helps people make money or if it's
something that people spend money on, it's a good idea
to explore making a tshirt or novelty product about it.

From baseball fans and construction workers, to soap


makers and essential oil lovers, this is a catch-all category
for professions and passions.

37
As I've often said, nothing drives profit in POD like niches
about which people are extremely passionate -- their
jobs, their hobbies, and their pastimes.

Some sellers make a killing by just scaling job titles into


funny or inspiring messaging templates. Others focus
exclusively on sports or hobbies.

Unfortunately, not all professions, sports, hobbies and


cultural obsessions generate significant profits. With this
10% of your portfolio, it's worth tinkering with the likes
of micro-niche hobbies, sub-categories of major hobbies,
professional titles, and sports themes that are unique
against a backdrop of homogeneous competition.

Keep exploring within your 10% allocation until you find


themes that sell. Continue to expand upon what sells,
using new designs in these winning niches to replace
others in the category that haven't sold or have
performed poorly.
38
Family Designs
Designs about families and
for families will never stop
selling on Merch By Amazon
or anywhere else in print on
demand.

The best performing family


designs are those that:

• Celebrate the joys of family


• Poke fun at the dysfunction of families
• Speak sarcastically about parenting
• Scale messages to specific family members (brothers,
aunts, cousins, etc.)
• Link families to other themes/niches (Family members
supporting other family members in sports, music, or
school, for example)

39
Last year, I shared with Merch Momentum Monday
Strategy Guide subscribers one of my oldest tactics in the
family niche, which involves scaling designs/messaging
for specific family names based on the most common last
names in the U.S.

I've been no stranger to scaling designs for families


planning birthday parties, anniversaries, new
baby/gender reveals, military deployments/returns,
holiday gatherings, sporting events, vacations,
retirement celebrations, reunions, weekend
getaways/car trips, and more.

After coming up with clever, unique messaging


templates, I plug in all the familiar last names you might
expect: Smith, Johnson, Brown, Hernandez, Davis, Miller,
Jones, Anderson, and Williams, to name a few.

40
There are many niches and content scenarios that could
benefit from a new crop of family designs that
incorporate this personalized touch.

As the old saying goes, “Families are like fudge – mostly


sweet with a few nuts.” As long as your portfolio of
family designs is similarly constituted -- mostly sweet
designs with a few that are somewhat nutty -- you will
likely do well in this well-established and consistently
profitable niche.

41
In Closing

At the end of March, when


Amazon announced a
temporary pause in printing for
Merch By Amazon products
amid the onset of the global
pandemic, many sellers lost
faith in POD for the short term.

Why? In recent years, Merch By Amazon has moved to


the forefront of the POD space and now absorbs much of
the spotlight directed on the industry at large.

But the truth of the matter remains that many creators


were making handsome sums of money – millions of
dollars -- in POD long before Amazon got into the game.

Every year for the better part of the last decade, the
print-on-demand industry has grown on the backs of

42
multiple platforms -- platforms that will continue to
operate smoothly and profitably during the pandemic.

Merch By Amazon will be back. But until it returns, this is


the ideal time to do exactly what everyone should keep
doing even after Merch By Amazon does return: expand
into new POD platforms with diverse portfolios capable
of reaching the greatest number of consumers with the
greatest number of unique, niche-focused designs
possible.

Good luck, keep designing, and please reach out any time
if you have questions or need help!
