Lissa Talks Print on Demand
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!

Real Talk: Running an online shop is not a set it and forget it business model. Though parts of it can be self sustaining - ie your products can sync automatically with your print partner or organic SEO can benefit a shop more + more over time - it’s important to keep your shop current and active, no matter where you are selling.
Know that, if there was a tried and true way to make a lot of money, a lot of people would do that task. There are people who do start print on demand businesses and hit the ground running. There are authors that write one book and can live off it the rest of their loves. There are, I assume, musicians from the 1900s who are able to live off one hit wonders. Most people do not have this experience. I don’t meant this in a negative way - I mean it in that, if your growth is slow, that is totally normal. Your business - whether it’s a side business or full-time business - is going to evolve and change over time and that includes growth.
That’s amazing!
