When I first started this site, I mainly did it for something to do. I found I actually enjoy sharing our experiences with others. I hope you enjoy the journey! Recently, I wanted to start a print on demand business. I tried various marketplaces but none worked for me so I decided to just use this website. As I was doing some research, though, I found most people use multiple platforms. I decided to do the same.
This website shop has items that can be personalized. Another store I have is Printify Pop-Up. Unfortunately, Printify Pop-up doesn’t have the functionality to offer personalized products, yet. It has some items that are similar to the ones in my website shop, just no personalization offered.
A couple of weeks ago, my daughter suggested I try out Redbubble. So I used one of my graphics and tried it out. I am not sure exactly how much I will use this site, but I will add a few things and see what happens. I am still learning how to use Redbubble, so it is a work in progress. I thought at first there was no “store” to share. I found out there is. They just don’t provide it until you have 5 designs uploaded. I have done that now so visit my Redbubble Store and let me know what you think.
Yes, I have added another store. I was watching someone on YouTube and she mentioned how much she liked the Fourth Wall platform. So, I thought I would give it a try. So far, I like it. It looks like they use a lot of products from another print provider, which gives me a few more options. Best of all, it’s free to start. I have heard rumors though that new accounts in 2024 will not be free but I have not seen anything from the company. I am not sure how long they have been around but so far I am happy with what I have seen.
Making the items to sell in my e-commerce stores is time consuming. I do not pretend to be a graphic designer. In fact, far from it! One of the sites I use to find ideas, graphics, and fonts is Creative Fabrica. This site has so many things to choose from. I especially like the fact that they display the licensing information for each item. It’s very important when designing items to avoid copyright or trademark infractions. Creative Fabrica explains what can and cannot be done with the items they offer. For those of us who are new to e-commerce and print on demand selling, this is certainly a plus!
I have been using Rakuten for many years, and yes, you can get cash back. If you refer a friend, you and your friend can get cash. If they make qualifying purchases within 90 days of joining that total $40, you each get $40. Best of all, it doesn’t cost to enroll nor do you pay more for using Rakuten. Why not try?
Thank you for following and as always, Live Life and Have fun.
