Welcome to this brand new section where I would like to show you an alternative method for sourcing
fantastic products for your store.
And that method is called Print on Demand or as it's more commonly referred to simply Pod.
And so what is Pod?
Well, it's a method that has all of the advantages of dropshipping that you've already seen.
So no infantry, easy to scale and of course huge potential.
But it allows us to create completely unique products very easily.
At which point you might be thinking, well, how is that possible?
Well, what we do is find suppliers selling simple generic products, like, for example, a white t
shirt, and then using software, which of course is going to be an app.
We can easily create our own fantastic designs for that t shirt.
And then having created that design, we will put the product on our site.
Now, when somebody buys it, It's actually at that point that we will ask our supplier to go ahead
and print that design on the t shirt, and then ship it directly to the customer.
In other words, the printing, the production of the t shirt itself only happens when the sale has
been made, and it's for that reason that we refer to it as print on demand.
Now, I want to emphasize that we're not just talking about t shirts.
That was just an example, because of course, there are many products where you could potentially add
your own unique design.
And to make all of this happen, as I just mentioned, of course we're going to be using an app now.
There are many apps out there to help you with print on demand, but in my opinion, the best app that
is currently available and the one that I would like to introduce you to is called Printify.
And so in the next lecture, let's actually install the Printify app so that you can see exactly how
the print on demand process works, which could be a very exciting addition to your store.
