How To Make Money With The Print-on-Demand
Business Model
The print on demand business model is one of the
easiest ways to get started online. It's a model
that doesn't require a lot of upfront input in
terms of both finances and efforts.
2
However, this does not mean that you
underestimate the work you need to put in to
create a successful business using this
model. The sections below will help you to
kickstart a Print-on-Demand business the right
way. What You'll Learn From This Post Step
1 Choose Your Niche Products Step 2 Get
Your Designs Website Ready Step 3 Choose
Your Print Provider Add Products to Your
Store Step 4 Promote Your Store Step
5 Check Performance, Experiment Make
Improvements o Still Want More? Step 1 Choose
Your Niche Products Here, you simply identify
niches where the patrons in that niche are so
royal to their passions, hobbies and interests
that they can easily buy T-shirts created based
on the subject matter of the niche. Think of
domains like dance, chocolate, cartooning,
football, karaoke, motorcycles, etc. You can
easily come up with a great design idea on any of
these niches and make Tshirts that would sell
like hot cake.
So, how do you come up with a good niche that you
can venture in to? Simply go with an area of
passion that you have, or your hobby or a special
skill/talent that you have. Research on it and
see if it has interest online. If so, go with it.
If not, look for a different one.

Not sure if you have a winning niche? Write to me
via our contact page and I will send you a list
of 200 hot niches to pick from, cool? Just one
catch you have to tweet about the Tambaa
Initiative, and/or post about us on your Facebook
and Instagram pages and then send me a screenshot
of that with your request for the niches. Easy,
right? Step 2 Get Your Designs Website
Ready The other part of making this business
model a success is creating the right online
assets to display your products. Here is the step
by step of how to do this Get the best web
hosting service here. With this web hosting
service, you get a free domain of your choice. I
highly recommend you go with the standard package
in which you can create multiple sites within the
same host at no extra hosting costs. Create your
design. You can use tools like Canva to create
your design. However, if you are like me (lazy
and loves shortcuts), you will want to get
ready-made designs here. Create a simple website
and list your products/t-shirt designs (I will
personally help you build this if you need help).
The following step makes this easy for you if you
choose the right POD provider.

Step 3 Choose Your Print Provider Add Products
to Your Store Here, you pick a good POD service
provider to work with. I highly recommend This
Print-on-Demand Service Provider This is the
company that will be printing your products when
people place an order. They also help fulfill and
deliver the orders to the customers. Step 4
Promote Your Store Now that your store is ready,
how do you get customers to it? I primarily use 3
approaches SEO, SMM and Niche Forums SEO or in
full, search engine optimization simply means
trying to rank your site highly on Google for
those terms that people type when searching for
products in your choice niche. SMM or social
media marketing involving promoting your products
on the various social media platforms, from
Facebook, to Twitter, Pinterest and Instagram,
among others. This can be done at no cost, but I
personally prefer to set up paid ads to automate
the process and speed things up.
5
Niche forums simply mean looking for forums
within your chosen niche, joining the
conversation therein, and once in a while
promoting your related products there. Step 5
Check Performance, Experiment Make
Improvements Now, this is the bit where action
meets fun. Test your marketing strategy, your
promotion methods, your landing pages, and
everything in between to see how best to increase
those sales. The more you test, the more you will
see ways of improving the performance of your
business. I hope you enjoyed this free training.
