Master The Art Of Scaling Your Print On Demand Business: How To Automate Order Fulfillment Using Production Partners
MODULE 1: INTRODUCTION
Welcome to Ryan's Method: Print on Demand Production Partners!
In this module you will be introduced to the POD ecosystem from the seller perspective.
We'll explain what production partners are & why they're critical in allowing sellers to focus on scaling their business, by outsourcing the tedious/repetitive work to companies that work on fulfillment for us.
MODULE 2: PRINT ON DEMAND PRODUCTS
This module focuses on the various print on demand products that we're able to stock our shops with.
There's a very wide variety of potential products, but only you can decide what will be a good fit for your shop!
Some of the more popular products that we'll specifically focus on include:
SHIRTS / HOODIES
HATS
COFFEE MUGS ☕
JEWELRY
STICKERS
ALL-OVER PRINT PRODUCTS
+ More!
MODULE 3: PRINTFUL
Partnering with a company like Printful is a necessity in most cases.
Think about it: your alternative is either to leverage Printful & their technology + equipment to produce your orders - OR - do it all yourself.
If you're thinking long-term, you know the importance of scalability when it comes to any business model, and seldom do the words "DIY" & "scalability" belong together in the same sentence.
What's cool about Printful's software is that:
It's very easy to setup
It gives sellers more control over their business than any Printful competitor that I've used to date
It's FREE!
You can integrate Printful with a bunch of major e-commerce platforms, and their engineers did such a great job that it can often be achieved in a mere few clicks.
Some of the biggest ones include Amazon, Etsy, & Ebay + if you'd like to start your own website, you can use their Shopify, WooCommerce, Wix, Squarespace, integrations!
My personal preference is to leverage the web traffic of trusted names in e-commerce by selling on the large marketplaces:
If you haven't already, you should check it out! In this module I'll show you everything you need to know to succeed as a print on demand seller using Printful to fulfill orders.
MODULE 4: PRINTIFY
Did you know you can use more than 1 production partner at a time?
This opens the door to endless possibilities! For instance, you can pick between Printful, Printify, & any other production partner on a per-product basis based on things like fulfillment costs, color options, fulfillment times, & more!
Printify does have some edges at times over their top competitor (Printful): Printify products are often slightly less expensive than comparable Printful products.
That said, you do need to pay a monthly fee for "Printify Premium" in order to unlock the lowest prices possible.
In this module we dive into the analysis to figure out if it's worth upgrading.
MODULE 5: GEARBUBBLE
Gearbubble offers two primary ways to make money selling print on demand products online.
The first is called Gearbubble Pro and refers to the side of their platform that is in direct competition with platforms like Shopify, where you can launch an entire website with shopping cart functionality, and you will most likely need to buy paid traffic in order to drive sales.
The second is their ecommerce platform integrations, where you can connect your Amazon, ebay, and Etsy stores via API to have them automatically fulfill your orders to your customers
In this module I'll be reviewing the latter, where we use their integrations to sell print on demand products on some of the worlds largest online marketplaces (Amazon, Etsy, Ebay), because I'm more a fan of appealing to customers where they already shop instead of attempting to coerce them into purchasing from our newly launched online store.
MODULE 6: ADDITIONAL PRODUCTION PARTNERS
Each year a number of additional print on demand production partners seemingly spring up overnight.
The truth is that many of these companies have existed for years (if not decades), but lacked the foresight of developing integrations that allowed for sellers like you & I to "hook" into using their service for automated fulfillment.
Automation = scalability = absolutely critical to our print on demand businesses long-term success.
That said, the companies we'll be looking at in this module all need to be on your radar for various reasons, but are lacking in one way or another when compared to the "big 3" (Printful/Printify/Gearbubble), hence placing them here in this module.
