Welcome to this brand new section where I would like to show you an alternative method for sourcing

00:05.750 --> 00:07.910
fantastic products for your store.

00:07.910 --> 00:15.080
And that method is called Print on Demand or as it's more commonly referred to simply Pod.

00:15.320 --> 00:17.480
And so what is Pod?

00:17.570 --> 00:22.730
Well, it's a method that has all of the advantages of dropshipping that you've already seen.

00:22.730 --> 00:27.440
So no infantry, easy to scale and of course huge potential.

00:27.440 --> 00:33.440
But it allows us to create completely unique products very easily.

00:33.470 --> 00:37.280
At which point you might be thinking, well, how is that possible?

00:37.280 --> 00:44.810
Well, what we do is find suppliers selling simple generic products, like, for example, a white t

00:44.840 --> 00:49.730
shirt, and then using software, which of course is going to be an app.

00:49.730 --> 00:54.710
We can easily create our own fantastic designs for that t shirt.

00:54.710 --> 00:58.850
And then having created that design, we will put the product on our site.

00:58.880 --> 01:05.570
Now, when somebody buys it, It's actually at that point that we will ask our supplier to go ahead

01:05.570 --> 01:11.030
and print that design on the t shirt, and then ship it directly to the customer.

01:11.060 --> 01:16.910
In other words, the printing, the production of the t shirt itself only happens when the sale has

01:16.910 --> 01:21.770
been made, and it's for that reason that we refer to it as print on demand.

01:21.800 --> 01:25.040
Now, I want to emphasize that we're not just talking about t shirts.

01:25.040 --> 01:30.080
That was just an example, because of course, there are many products where you could potentially add

01:30.080 --> 01:31.910
your own unique design.

01:31.910 --> 01:37.550
And to make all of this happen, as I just mentioned, of course we're going to be using an app now.

01:37.550 --> 01:43.130
There are many apps out there to help you with print on demand, but in my opinion, the best app that

01:43.130 --> 01:48.440
is currently available and the one that I would like to introduce you to is called Printify.

01:48.440 --> 01:54.380
And so in the next lecture, let's actually install the Printify app so that you can see exactly how

01:54.380 --> 02:00.350
the print on demand process works, which could be a very exciting addition to your store.
