what's up guys so i google searched
print on demand and one of the most
common questions that came up is who
pays the most like which print-on-demand
marketplace are we gonna make the most
money on so i went through uh basically
my 2020 and 2021 data
and i'm going to speak only to what i
know to what i personally experienced
rather than try to make general
statements about marketplaces that i
can't verify so all you're going to see
in this video are my personal sales
basically in the last year and a half on
the various major ecommerce marketplaces
that i sell on so let's get started
[Music]
real quick take advantage of the weekly

description if you haven't already take
advantage of the free 8 day print on
demand mini course it is very thorough
you'll be surprised and my print on
demand facebook group
all right let's go back
2020 2021 i kind of mixed and matched
based on
which was higher because i do want to
give you guys the high end upside
version of what you can expect to make
selling print on demand on various
marketplaces and we're going to start at
the top
merch by amazon i do call this my tier 1
opportunity we're selling prime eligible
print on demand products on the world's
number one e-commerce market which is
amazon.com the u.s market
also i mean when it started that you it
was just amazon.com but they've expanded
into uh uk germany italy spain france
and uh what am i forgetting well there's
at least one more italy
and then japan i know japan but did i
forget one oh they're right in front of
me uh us uk germany
uh france italy spain and japan yeah
okay so maybe i did get them all so in
2021 so far
i've done
8566
sales on merch by amazon
so
the total profit generated
is twenty nine thousand two hundred and
six dollars and that is basically
through
august
so yeah merged by amazon and i mean also
not to um
i don't know i know a couple people that
do five figure profits monthly on merch
by amazon so i do want to
let you guys know that that is a
possibility it is rare
but it's certainly possible because i
know people that do it and uh they
basically treat merch as a full-time job
and a lot of them though do it
themselves they don't have a team of
designers there are also people that do
six-figure profits monthly and
of the ones that i am aware of they have
teams of designers working for them okay
and that is also a very limited group
all right next amazon seller central
anybody wondering the difference between
merch by amazon and amazon seller
central
well there are two different portals
for you to sell on amazon's catalog the
merch by amazon portal is a very like
paired down version
of seller central seller central is
really the go-to place
that they intended people to use that
want to sell on amazon so you can
actually start an amazon fba business
through seller central as well on my
seller central account i do have my fba
business then i've got my print on
demand business as well so these numbers
you see here have none of my fba
business products sales at all mixed in
this is just print on demand sales okay
so i did 2852 sales in 2020 bringing in
16 999 dollars of profit
it's worth noting guys that merch by
amazon when you sell through there you
have prime eligibility so you get to tap
into the i've heard it's uh over 100
million actually was it 200 million i
wish i had just written down the source
i always say that um but i think it was
200 million people have access to amazon
prime
in america i think i heard that about a
year ago
so yeah the prime eligible check box
next to your merch by amazon products is
going to dramatically increase your
conversion rate because people are gonna
get that free shipping and they're gonna
get that free and fast shipping whereas
if you are selling through seller
central uh you are responsible for
shipping and if you're selling this as
print on demand
well it's gonna be made on demand so
you're not gonna get that prime
eligibility because that's for products
that already exist and are sent into the
fba warehouses
they do also do seller fulfilled prime
but that's not something you would ever
want to do for print-on-demand that'll
get you in trouble oh and if anybody was
wondering the reason i have the gear
bubble and printful logos in the corner
because those are the two production
partners that i used to generate these 2
852 sales
so they fulfill the orders after they
come in for me
all right for amazon.co.uk
so i have a separate seller central
account for the uk
and i only used printful to fulfill
orders there but in 2020 i did 294 sales
bringing in 3088
of profit
and uk i actually
recently because my sales kind of fell
off
i turned it into a
not professional seller what is it
called individual seller account so i
pay an extra dollar per sale
um and i'm not posting new products
that's the biggest thing because you
need a professional seller account to
get a gtin exemption which removes the
requirement for upc codes which you
pretty much need if you're going to be
filling up the catalog with new products
so now i'm not pushing new products i
still have the printful integration but
i'm not being very aggressive at all
with amazon.com uk because the sales
have just been slow
and there's always issues there's not
always issues but like way more commonly
there's issues shipping in europe than
there is shipping in the united states
and those refunds really hurt
all right 2021 we're eight months in my
ebay sales i've done 217 ebay sales
bringing in 2 892 of profit and by the
way at the end i'm gonna bring all this
back together so you can see them uh
next to each other
so yeah i was guilty of like sleeping on
ebay prior to 2021. i didn't take it too
seriously what's funny is i love
shopping on ebay anybody that's been
subscribed knows that i'm probably
famously like one of the few people that
still goes there to shop um but i just
like that i can use paypal there
honestly it's the biggest thing um and
yeah i mean you can usually find stuff
pretty cheap there but also part of
finding things cheap on ebay is that
people tend not to want to overpay for
things on ebay and with print on demand
i always aim to make a minimum of 10
profit per sale according to the
printful
10 profit uh
if you've ever used printful to push a
product you know how they have like
their own calculator minimum 10 profit
is what i want to see there and then
after you take the marketplace fee out
it's not going to be 10 obviously but
it'll vary depending on what you sold
and for how much but anyways don't sleep
on ebay also ebay is a little bit like
merch by amazon there's no tier system
but
you have to prove yourself as a seller
you have to kind of like
make some sales
keep the customers happy get good
reviews and then over time they will
increase your ability to sell additional
products
so
this is your
heed this uh this piece of advice right
now start your ebay seller account
publish a few of your best sellers i
mean also if you're not pushing your
best sellers to ebay you're just losing
money so why wouldn't you be doing that
and scale your ebay account up
all right next redbubble 2020. i did
1412
sales
bringing in 3 872 dollars of profit
and yeah guys uh redbubble i know
there's a lot
a lot of discussion uh in my print on
demand facebook group about how do i
increase red bubble sales and i know
those videos still do really well on uh
youtube
and here's the thing
redbubble and actually i'm dropping a
video on friday so make sure you're
subscribed where i'm going to cover
because i've done 23 episodes of
redbubble shop reviews i've reviewed
well over 100 shops
i see a lot of the same mistakes being
made constantly
and
when i do these shop reviews by the way
like people are submitting you guys the
viewers are submitting your shops so i'm
literally speaking to what i commonly
see when i do these reviews and i'm
thinking i'm speaking specifically to
the mistakes that i see being made so
you don't want to miss that video
alright that's going to be because if
you can avoid those mistakes you're
going to make sales
you know what i mean
the mistakes though you need to avoid
like for sure otherwise you're going to
give up on redbubble and say that nobody
can make money there anymore and i've
made an extra 3 800
almost 3 900 using automation by the way
to push the products there so almost no
effort at all whatsoever
all right next spreadshirt 2020 65 sales
bringing in 274 dollars of profit also
just last month i made i think 60 or 70
bucks profit on spreadshirt in one month
because i had a huge order come in so
anybody that's thinking like oh should i
be on spreadshirt should i not
it's up to you
i use automation to upload to a
spreadshirt i can put a link to the
automation tool i use in the description
as well in case you guys want to check
it out
but uh it's it's hard to know if you
should be spending time manually
uploading to places like this
because they definitely are not on par
with merch by amazon ebay even redbubble
even so you got to kind of figure that
out for yourself but you know an extra
274 bucks i will take that and then you
never know if you're going to have a big
outlier month like i did in july if you
guys missed my july income report check
that out i can link to it right here
and i show you that my spreadshirt sales
were pretty darn good
all right next t public whoa man check
that out so t public actually for no
reason closed my account
like they got acquired by redbubble and
then like all of a sudden they just were
like we're gonna start closing accounts
okay um no reason given so anyways when
i was on t public in 2020 i did 413
sales bringing in 1 167 of profit and
that's not even a full year of sales
they closed my account in october of
2020 so i didn't even get to sell in
the full month of october november
december which are the biggest months
again your guess is as good as mine as
to why they closed my account but uh the
money is real that you could make from t
public i mean that's an 1100 almost 1200
additional you know just in my bank
account that i wouldn't have had if i
wasn't there and yes i use automation to
publish there do i think automation is
why they close my account no i don't
think they have developers skilled
enough to write
scripts to detect automation that's my
personal guess and i haven't seen a
single platform attempt that so i have
no reason to think that t public who by
the way is owned by redbubble and
redbubble who can't even fix the tag
spamming issue
would bother wasting their time with
that so um
t public though if you can get on there
definitely upload i would put this
second to redbubble in terms of like the
order of a priority
teespring this is in 2019 because i
haven't seen a sale there since 2020 i
don't know why
but teespring does not get very much
organic traffic there were people that
would ask me about the um what they call
it the something network
guys like if you're gonna spend your
time attempting to make money online you
don't need to spend days or weeks trying
to crack the teespring code
uh teespring wants you to drive traffic
to them they don't want to make you
traffic by or make you money by carving
out traffic that they bring
right um it's sad you know what i mean
that's why i think redbubble's special
because they let us capitalize on their
traffic because it's mutually beneficial
but teespring to me is just kinda i
wouldn't recommend wasting time there
unless you can push there with
automation but
2019 i did 13 sales i made 53 profit
and 2021 so far zazzle 8 months in 84
sales
178 dollars of profit um so yeah we're
still you know ahead of the big fourth
quarter sales rush so these numbers are
going to increase for sure any of the
times that i showed 2021
when i show 2021 instead of 2020 it's
because 2021's already trending much
better so that's good that means
zazzle's like on the upswing right now
whereas platforms like t public and
teespring are kind of on the downswing
like t public on the downswing because
they're closing people's accounts for no
reason uh teespring
on the downswing because what the heck
are they doing with their organic
traffic and finally we'll round it out
with another platform that likes to
close people's accounts for no reason
etsy by the way don't be deterred by
that like there's still money to be made
and it's not like a guarantee it's gonna
happen to you but um just wanted to make
that clear anytime i post a video about
like getting your account closed on etsy
not only do they get a lot of views but
youtube bots
spam the comments trying to sell fake
services about getting your account back
that's how prevalent it is that there
are bots spamming fake services to help
you get your account back which by the
way those services don't work those bots
are probably scams there's too many of
them for me to personally remove so just
ignore them please
all right etsy though in oops i should
have updated the year that's not 2021
that is 2019 okay 2019 not 2021
967 sales and unfortunately that's the
year i got my account closed
and it was in the fourth quarter so
similar to t public how they closed my
account at the worst possible time uh
they closed my account i think in
october but prior to that time i'd done
967 sales and brought in seven thousand
one hundred
eleven i don't know 110 dollars of
profit okay so if we bring all of this
together
here are the totals so which pod
marketplace is the most profitable i
think the clear-cut answer is merch by
amazon um that's 2021 so it's eight
months in and i've already
two generated
six dollars of profit
uh it's actually seven months in right
january february march april may june
july seven months in i've already
generated uh 30k basically a profit so i
said eight months it's actually seven
months there's five months to go of
sales
um seller central 17 000 and that was
last year um seller central on code on
international market i did 3 100 last
year
ebay
that's seven months this year because i
really didn't take ebay seriously prior
to this year just under three thousand
dollars profit redbubble last year
thirty eight hundred seventy two dollars
profit
spread shirt last year 274 dollars t
public in 2019 on an incomplete year
where i missed the fourth quarter
one thousand one hundred sixty seven
dollars a profit that probably would
have jumped to like fifteen hundred if i
had to guess because you do make by far
the bulk of your sales in november
december even october is nice
uh teespring from 2019 53. i hate
t-string zazzle
178 and i believe that was last year and
etsy in 2019 7 110 of profit by the way
i've been using my well not using but
like
marielle my girlfriend started an etsy
account so basically like i've been
helping her scale hers up and she's
doing really well for somebody that's
kind of doing it like very kind of
part-time not dedicating a lot of
she's not stressing over her etsy shop
put it that way and she's making extra
money every month um you know doing well
so scaling scaling the account up so
anyways guys that's it for um the best
print on demand websites the most
profitable if you've had a different
experience please i'd love to hear from
you let me know in the comments below
let me know what your sales figures are
looking like as well so that we all get
an idea of
what the potential of these marketplaces
is as far as sales go because i'm just
one person okay
