hey what's up guys today we're going to
take a look at some cheaper print on
demand products that we can sell in our
online stores now this is probably going
to be most beneficial to people selling
on the major e-commerce websites hear me
out this is why when we sell on those
big ecommerce websites we pay a uh
generally i think they call it a
marketplace facilitator fee
right so when we make a sale it's
awesome
but we have to pay you know amazon
charges the most in my experience for
facilitating you know the buyer meeting
the seller okay so we pay a little bit
there we pay the production partner for
the raw materials
to put the design on it for labor etc we
pay them to ship it out uh and then if
we advertise there's some advertising
fees involved too so
it's not straight profit uh
unfortunately it would be great if it
was
and
as our margins get slimmer and slimmer
we're going to need to look for
cheaper products to sell
because generally speaking i feel like
you know the cheaper it is to fulfill an
order i still feel comfortable selling
most products if not all at like 19.99
generally speaking i mean i it can
definitely vary like a sticker i'm not
gonna sell a sticker at 19.99 but
generally speaking i think most
customers don't hesitate to pay 20 bucks
for a coffee mug a t-shirt uh some of
the other products i'm going to be
showing you in this video so why don't
we get started and i'll share with you
some of the cheaper products that we can
sell
[Music]

in the description a link to my 8 day
print on demand mini course completely
free just need your email
and my print on demand facebook group
all right so again we are talking about
cheap print on demand products and i'm
going to
kind of include
multiple production partners a lot of
times the more popular products all of
the production partners tend to sell for
instance like t-shirts or coffee mugs
i think every
production partner that actually
fulfills and ships out our orders
pretty much fulfills those
however you'll need to do kind of your
own research on
which ones are necessarily the cheapest
and in this video i'll do my best to
guide you
based on my experience for where you can
look to find the cheapest price tag on a
product to product basis
so the first product i wanted to share
with you guys that are cheap print on
demand products and this is really where
i got my start
are coffee mugs
yes coffee mugs and actually now that i
think about it i don't even drink coffee
out of coffee mugs i don't know why i
have a weird habit i'll go to the
i think it's just to get out of the
house honestly but i'll go to the
7-eleven down the street a couple times
a week and i'll just or if i'm like
passing by mcdonald's and i'll just get
like a large coffee and i'll just stick
it in the fridge and every morning i
just kind of like chug it for a little
bit and then put it i don't know is that
weird thing to share anyways hopefully
if it is let me know uh basically it
probably lasts me like two days
sometimes three
and i yeah i i'm not that big of a
coffee guy i guess i just need a little
bit of caffeine in me in the morning put
it back drink it cold not a big deal
efficiency i know i'm turning into a
robot or something anyways coffee mugs
you can sell them for as low as 3.95
if you fulfill them with custom cat now
custom cat i'll put a link to them in
the description i'll put a link to all
the production partners that i mentioned
in the description actually uh the
a lot of times with coffee mugs by the
way you can sell them on both a white
mug and a black mug and i don't see any
reason not to you're doubling the online
real estate that you occupy uh with gear
bubble i think sometimes you can i don't
know if i've done white and black i
think i've done like 11 ounce 15 oz as
opposed to double color um i don't
remember the way i do it now i use
automation so it's not enabled for
automation but uh sometimes you can
actually have it create like a parent
child listing like on amazon for
instance
where if somebody finds your listing
they can select what size they want 11
ounce 15 ounce um again i'm not sure if
they do both the colors but
uh yeah and with coffee mugs guys like
when you just get started oftentimes the
uh the 11 ounce white mug is gonna be
the cheapest at about four dollars like
if you use custom cat it should be i
think the black might actually be five
dollars so a dollar more i think um i
know that they're cheap on custom cat
though
um but you can also expand from there
you can expand into like color changing
mugs uh two-tone coffee mugs there's
lots of different coffee carriers
there's tumblers and whatnot travel mugs
things like that
uh so yeah so there's lots of options as
far as coffee mugs but when you're just
getting started and you want to get as
big of a profit margin as possible um
generally speaking the 11 ounce like
white mug is typically the cheapest
uh next product t-shirts this is a
staple of print on demand i would say
t-shirts are probably the most popular
the most common uh print on demand
product that probably moves the highest
volume uh day in and day out so that's
if you're just starting print on demand
this is your bread and butter you want
to get
hundreds if not a thousand if not
thousands
of t-shirts available for sale whether
it's through merch by amazon through
uh just like the printful etsy
integration
or printful amazon integration um really
whatever it is just get a bunch of
t-shirts listed for sale start there get
hundreds if not thousands
and then start branching into other
stuff now this video is for cheap
print-on-demand products so i'm not
going to mention that you can take your
t-shirt designs and put them on hoodies
tank tops
whatever your heart desires really i
mean there's endless options
but t-shirts typically carry a pretty
small price tag now i've seen them in
the six dollar to eight dollar range on
average for the cheaper options okay and
on the high end they do go above 1295
like i have listed here but i think
generally speaking most of us selling
t-shirts 12.95 selling the bella canvas
3001 through printful is probably about
the highest that most people would go if
you want to sell that same bella canvas
3001 through printify you can make
significant savings using them to
fulfill it where um the average price
varies based on color and size but
generally speaking you're gonna probably
save like three to four dollars
uh per sale using printify for that
shirt specifically
um selling things like gildan heavy
cotton or uh gildan
uh 64 000 also those carry a lower price
tag you know probably like in in the
range of like seven to eight dollars
jewelry did you guys expect to see this
in the cheap print on demand product
video i bet you you didn't uh so jewelry
can actually
be sold uh pretty successfully i'm in
some facebook groups with people that
have been doing this for a while that
just kind of smash it every year and i
i'm just like blown away by their
numbers and i tell myself i'm gonna
start selling jewelry and then i never
get around to it uh this year maybe the
year that i actually do try i've got
some ideas of how i can kind of automate
some
designs and get some more um coverage
and you know what i mean yeah i have an
i have a good idea maybe i'll talk about
it in a separate video if you guys are
interested in that let me know and i can
kind of walk you through how i think i'm
going to get this done um the one thing
to note is that jewelry
i'm going to be selling my jewelry
through gear bubble
gear bubble is the one print on demand
production partner that charges monthly
to use them unless you took advantage of
the lifetime deal that was running
yesterday and i think it ended at
midnight so i apologize if anybody
didn't catch my video i'm not affiliated
with gearbubble otherwise i would have
given you guys more of a heads up if you
joined my email list though i did email
them and asked them for a link that i
could share with that deal preserved and
i haven't heard back so if that happens
and you're on my email list i can let
you know
uh because it was like 300 bucks for a
lifetime deal as opposed to paying like
200 bucks a month month over month over
month over month so clearly yeah you
want the lifetime if you want to pay for
gear bubble um because i haven't seen
anybody with jewelry that compares
really but if you know some pronoun
production partners that do have
comparable jewelry let me know as well
that would be great and then i can
factor that into future videos anyways
they've got like laser engraved jewelry
they've got um i don't know how they do
the non-laser engraved i'm not honestly
that experienced when it comes to how
you actually produce these products if
i'm being honest so i just kind of like
go off of what they're called in the uh
catalogs but they have non laser
engraved cheaper jewelry as well you can
see they've got like um gold and silver
they have the circle pendants the heart
pendants they have bracelets etc the
price ranges from eight dollars to ten
dollars so pretty tight price range and
i know firsthand that you can get away
with charging 30 35 40 bucks
you can also sell posters posters i
would recommend using printfy to fulfill
they range from as low as four dollars
up to like ten dollars depending on the
size of the poster obviously the bigger
they are uh the more it's going to cost
to ship the more ink is used etc
but posters don't sleep on them uh is
that even a thing anymore do people put
posters on their wall anymore i don't
have any kids i do assume it's like a
kid thing um but i did just want to
share that posters are definitely
accessible on a low budget
oh shot glasses okay shot glasses i
don't know anybody that sells these
outside of gear bubble but shot glasses
only cost
three dollars to fulfill yes three
dollars yes and i charge
13 for these
generally speaking i always aim to make
at least 10 bucks it's kind of like a
rule of thumb for me to like make it
feel like it's worth my time um and
what's cool about shot glasses the
design space is a vertical rectangle
which is very similar to how we design
for t-shirts right so take those t-shirt
designs
and slap them on a shot glass guys
i've sold quite a few of those uh
stickers in the range of one to five
dollars if you use printf they can be as
cheap as like a dollar and change uh you
can also like do even though redbubble
doesn't have integrations you could drop
ship manually from redbubble to other
platforms i've done that in the past
prior to stickers being available uh
only for like really popular sticker
designs otherwise i wouldn't want to put
myself through all that manual effort
but stickers range from one dollar to
five dollars five dollars would be for
the um right behind me here the sticker
packs so instead you're of one sticker
you're selling like a pack of multiple
pillowcases ah we're thinking outside
the box here now pillows like the ones
through merch by amazon
uh they can be fulfilled through
multiple production partners like
prinify printful etc
but they carry a heavier price tag
averaging more than ten dollars i don't
consider that cheap
so
i'm gonna recommend pillowcases yes just
the case just a piece of cloth with the
design on it and i sell a surprising
number of these or at least recently we
just wrapped up the fourth quarter of
2021 i sold a surprising number of them
uh it wasn't like gonna make me rich or
anything like that but for what it's
worth always trying to be transparent
here
i was putting t-shirt designs on them so
i wasn't even selling like
good designs on a horizontal landscape
optimized pillowcase i was selling
vertical optimized you know t-shirt
designs basically because you know my
motto i like to slap my designs on other
products because why not it didn't cost
me anything right i'm using pod turbo
gear bubble to push to amazon seller
central using automation and i've got a
really nice refined streamlined process
that lets me crank out a ton of
different designs every single day so i
i'm not i'm not going to not do it i put
it that way
sold quite a few and i priced them at 20
bucks so decent profit in there as well
all right guys that's it thank you for
