With rising prices and everything costing just a little bit more
I wanted to give you five reasons why I think starting print on demand or
continuing to do print on demand is a great idea during a rising inflation. Let's go!!
Thanks for joining me on this video. My name is Juna with Detour Shirts. I've been designing and
selling t-shirts online with print-on-demand since 2005 and I wanted to teach you why I
think doing print on demand is a great idea during high inflation times. During this time,
where things prices are rising and everything, I'm going to show you why I think it is. There's more
than five reasons. I'm gonna just show you five but if you ever have been thinking about doing
print on demand or if you're just starting out with print on demand i'm gonna show you why this
is a really good decision for a lot of people uh wanting to just make a little extra money and kind
of beat the inflation cost of everything rising i'm going to show you what inflation is i'm going
to show you how much you need to make and why print on demand can help with that so these are
not in any particular order but the first one is the most important and i'm going to share with you
that one right now so the first reason why print on demand is a good idea during high inflation is
it's going to allow you to make extra income and everyone wants extra income that's the best way to
help with inflation everything all the prices are rising right so of course you need to
have more income to combat the rising prices and the question is how much more do you need
of course more we all want just a lot more and a lot more but let me show you how much more
you need to combat with inflation first we need to figure out what the inflation rate is so i'm going
to go to google and show you what the inflation rate is it's pretty high compared to what it was
in the past but let's check it out so here i am on google i just typed in what is the inflation rate
for 2022. here it says 6.8 uh you can see in other places it says 8.6 8.3 8.6 some as high as 9.2 so
somewhere below 10 is the idea and that is high if we go back 10 years and see what was the inflation
rate for 2012 it was only like 2 so that's why we're feeling it that's why things seem to
feel like everything is going up really fast because it is inflation rates a lot higher
so my idea is just to make the math easy is to increase your income by 10 that should cover it
that should cover the eight percent or nine percent whatever it is uh increase by 10
that's going to make it really easy to do the math so i made this to show you how using print
on demand can help you increase your income so let's say inflation is about eight percent uh you
need to increase your income by 10 12 a little more than the inflation rate to combat that
i'm going to use 10 just to make sure that the math is easy if you want to stay in your job maybe
a lot of people don't want to leave their job they love their job because it's a great place to
work and it's hard to find another job if you're thinking about maybe raises will help you with
that raises usually are about five percent four to five percent and that's a really good raise
most people don't give you a 10 raise a 12 raise you may want to try and go and find a second job
or another job but in this economy that's really hard to do as well so that's another reason why
print on demand is a great idea let's say you make sixty thousand dollars a year you need
a ten percent increase which means you need a six thousand dollar increase uh during the year
that's if you divide that by twelve that's about five hundred dollars a month can you make 500
a month with print on demand definitely can some people do a lot of people do that's 50 a month if
you're spreading it over 10 print on demand site so i teach you how to do different print on demand
sites you might have seen my video where i do 10 different print on demand sites can you do 50 a
month for each of the print on demand sites and there's lots of other benefits for print on demand
let me show you what i did starting off with print on demand so i went back and looked at merch by
amazon so i started merch by amazon around may june area and you can see my first month on
merch by amazon print on demand i didn't sell that many you can see i only sold six items for a total
profit of twenty seven dollars yes that's less than the fifty dollars that i'm talking about but
if you put in the time over time you can see uh in july i made more in august i made more and as you
get to q4 uh the amount you can make is incredible so uh print on demand doesn't pay you right away i
know a lot of people need money right now but uh you're making an investment with print on demand
as you add more and more things on there you can potentially now this is just me other people made
different things just as an example but you can potentially make more than fifty dollars a month
and maybe not right away but it can happen so yes the number one reason why i think print on
demand is important during high inflation times is it will provide you that extra income that
you need now there's lots of different ways you can make extra income the other four reasons i'm
going to explain to you is why i think print on demand is the best way to make extra income
so reason number two why i think print on demand is important to do during this time
is because it's one of the few businesses that takes zero money to start and that's right there's
lots of places where you can go and flip things or buy things or or do things as a side hustle but
this is one of the few side hustles that take zero money to start so if you're tight on cash which
i think most of us will be during a recession and during an inflation this one is a great one to
start because you can start print on demand sites for free you can do designs for free with canva
you can do a lot of these things with zero money down all you need really is a computer and uh
access to the internet and if you're watching this you're probably watching it on a computer
or some kind of device electronical device that's connected to the internet right so you probably
have everything that you need go on to canva go on to uh different things if you already have a
application on there there's more than just canva there's uh inkscape there's [ __ ] there's lots
of different places so do your research find out what you need and if you have any artistic skill
at all you're already ahead of a lot of people that have never done print on demand so if you
know how to put together some graphics or words or love t-shirts this print on demand
will be great for you so reason number two why print on demand is a great idea is it because
it costs zero money to start the third reason why print on demand is a good idea during these
times is because there's lots of help so if you don't know how to do print-on-demand if you're
your first time you can go onto youtube and follow my channel and there's lots of other
channels on there that can tell you what to design when to design how to do this um all these things
and there's also facebook groups so i also have a facebook group detour shirts facebook
group but if you search for a print on demand facebook groups you'll find a ton of them too
so everybody loves to help the community is great in print on demand so if you have any questions
people love giving you answers so this is another reason why it's a great idea to start print
on demand as a side business as a side hustle is because you're going to have a lot of help on your
way so a lot of other businesses if you want to do side things they don't have as a great community
as the print-on-demand community in my opinion i think the print-on-demand community is huge and
can help if they're very helpful and you have lots of free access to it with youtube and facebook
so the fourth reason why print on demand is a great idea during these times is that you
can literally make money while you're sleeping so a lot of people uh call this passive income
where you don't have to put in your time for your money that you're making a lot of traditional jobs
you do have to do it you have to go into your nine to five and put in those hours
clock in clock out and make money you get paid by the hour or salary doesn't matter you still have
to put in your time you're working using your time for money so the nice thing about print on
demand is that you can make money while you're at your nine-to-five job while you're sleeping
while you're on vacation sales come in at any time it depends when people are buying it so you
can do you can literally make money during those times and that's a lot better than trying to find
a second job where you're going to put another eight hours another four hours on top of your day
why not do print on demand and do it in your own time all while doing it at home and making money
on the side so reason number five and there's more reasons than this but just for this video
reason number five why print on demand is a great idea to do during these times is that you can do
print on demand in your on your own time so kind of related to making money in your sleep on print
on demand can be done during your own time if you rather work in the morning before you're nine to
five you can get up early and do print on demand if you are the type that wanna stay up late and
do it you can do print on demand there it's your own schedule now if you try to find a second job
they'll schedule you in to that you may have to work a graveyard shift you may have to work
at times that you don't want to do on the weekends and things like that with print on demand you make
your own schedule so you can fit it into your nine to five and that's worked well for me too i
have a i still have a nine to five so i can do my print-on-demand things early in the morning if i
want to i can do it after work if i want to i can do it on the weekends or not on the weekends if i
want to it's totally flexible and this is a great advantage for a side hustle to have a flexible
side hustle that will bring you in that amount of money that you need to help with inflation right
so you don't want to stretch yourself too thin you can figure out the time that works best for you
of course you still have to do the work but now you can do it at home and this is great because
more and more people are working from home anyway so this just fits right into the way things are
going right now so just a recap on why you should be doing print on demand during rising inflation
of course we all want that extra income and print on demand will help with that it's slow to start
but as you get closer and closer to q4 it can increase and over time it will just help you
during the years like i said i've been doing it for a long time so this can really help
the second is that it's zero dollars to start it's one of the few things that will take you
nothing to start you can get started right away and start uploading designs to print on demand
with zero money down and there's lots of help to learn help you learn how to do this there's
lots of videos lots of channels lots of facebook groups and things like that people just want to
help you do this and you can make money while you sleep so instead of trying to find a second job
where they're going to schedule you in you can do this side hustle and actually make money while
you're at your job or while you're sleeping or while you're on vacation and lastly you can do
it on your own time make your own schedule for this so this is a great way to do it so
these for these reasons and more i think it's a great idea to do print on demand right now
