Hey everyone, welcome back to another video.
In today's video, I'm going to be going over 10 websites
that all print on demand sellers need to know about.
So if you're someone who is starting out in print on demand
or if you've been doing print on demand for a while,
I'm going to cover 10 different websites here
and explain all of them as far as website traffic
and what you need to know about each of these websites.
So by the end of this video,
you will walk away with quite a bit of information
about the print on demand industry.
Now, if you've seen any of the other videos on this channel
then you know that I'd like to get straight into the videos.
So without further ado,
let's go ahead and get started on this list.
Now, coming right into the list,
I'm going to start out with the websites
that have the most organic traffic.
Now, when you're a print on demand seller
if you're listing your items
on different marketplace websites,
those websites get their own traffic.
Those are people who are just coming
to the website on their own.
You don't have to lift a finger to bring them there.
And the idea is that they will see your listings
and hopefully make a purchase.
So starting out with the first website
that has the most organic traffic
of any print on demand website, that is Amazon.
So for Amazon, their department for print on demand
is called Amazon Merch on Demand.
Now, if you've seen other videos on YouTube,
or even mine in the past,
you might see this called Merch by Amazon.
That's what this same program used to be called.
They just changed the name.
So with that being said, this is the website right here.
It looks like a very basic website,
but this is actually giving you access
to the largest organic traffic to print on demand.
Amazon gets roughly 1 to 2 billion visitors
to their website every single month.
So that is a huge amount of traffic
you don't wanna miss out on.
Now before we move on from Amazon,
first, I just wanna show you what the listings look like
when you make a Merch on Demand listing.
So if someone types in a different type of shirt,
then you can scroll down here and you can see
that they have different print on demand listings,
and they're labeled as Amazon Merch on Demand.
Now, quickly before we move on
to the other ones in this list,
there's a big differentiator
between these different websites
that needs to be explained.
There's a difference between passive print on demand
and active print on demand.
The first seven that I'm going to be showing you
on this list are all passive style print on demand.
These are the ones that I have been using forever now.
These are the ones that I suggest to you.
What I mean by passive
is you simply create an account on their website,
you upload your designs, and you create the listing
like I just showed you on Amazon.
They do literally everything else.
They'll bring you the customers, they'll print,
they'll send out the products,
they'll even handle customer service.
Just wanted to preface that.
Let's move on to the second largest organic reach
for a passive print on demand website.
This website is redbubble.com.
Now, Redbubble is the second largest organic reach.
They get roughly 25 million people
to their website every single month,
and that is traffic that is totally free
for you to get in front of.
So moving on to the third website on this list,
this website is zazzle.com.
Now, Zazzle brings in about 5 million people
to their website every single month.
Again, totally free.
So you can upload your listings here
and take advantage of that traffic.
Next up on our list is teepublic.com.
Now, teepublic.com is a very easy one to use,
and they also get 1 to 2 million people
to their website every single month.
Now recently, I made a brand new print on demand tutorial.
It's an updated version of every step I do
for my print on demand process.
It's essentially a full length course.
Now, in that video, I actually used TeePublic
just to show you the whole setup process
of filling out a listing and creating it from scratch.
So if you're interested in seeing how to use TeePublic,
or basically how to do any of the print on demand process
for these passive style sites,
I'll link up that video below.
I'll put it at the end of the video,
so you shouldn't have a problem finding it on the channel.
Alright, just like that.
Let's move on to the fifth website.
This website is Teespring.
Now, if you guys have been watching this channel for a while
you've heard me talk about Teespring.
Teespring used to be a really big player
in the print on demand space,
and then a couple years ago
they made a pretty big business pivot.
So they started to focus on creators,
allowing creators to create their own storefront
and sell to their audience.
Back in the day, about two years ago,
they were getting 1 to 2 million people
to their website every single month
and they converted really well.
Now, Teespring gets less than that.
They get about 500,000 people
to their marketplace every single month,
fully free and organic.
So although that's not the 1 to 2 million
that they used to have, that is still a lot of people
going to their website every month for free.
Moving on from there is spreadshirt.com.
Now, Spreadshirt is a smaller website.
They get about 400,000 people
to their website every single month.
And the perk here is that Spreadshirt
is a very easy one to use again.
And moving on to the last
of the passive style print on demand websites,
this is threadless.com.
They get about 200,000 people
to their website every single month.
Now, although Threadless is the smallest on this list,
they do appear to be up and coming.
So if you get your listings on their website
you may be able to ride that wave as they grow.
So those are all of the passive style
print on demand websites.
And before moving on to the active style websites,
I first wanna say that if you are using
the passive style print on demand websites,
they are non-exclusive.
So what that means for you is you can create one design
and you can upload it to all of these different websites.
So with that being said,
let's move on to the couple active style websites
that are very popular.
Now, before we get into these,
the difference is going to be
with the active style websites,
you are going to have to create your own website,
you are going to have to bring your own traffic
or your customers,
and you're going to have to handle the customer service.
If you are someone who wants to go this route,
typically it's going to be those of you who want to create
a full-fledged customizable clothing brand,
then these are going to be the big websites
you need to know about.
First up is Printful.
Now, if you've been looking
for any of the active style print on demand websites,
you've definitely come across Printful.
Printful, hands down, has the best quality products.
So if you're creating a brand
and you really want to be focused on quality,
this is the website to use.
Now the catch that I was kind of alluding to before
is that with these active style websites,
you need to create your own website.
So the most typical way that people do that
is by using Shopify.
So let me show you that real quick.
Shopify is essentially just a website builder
that focuses on creating an online store.
Now, if you are going to use Shopify,
then you're going to have to pay for it,
so that kind of is another catch here.
Shopify, if you're paying monthly,
is going to be at least $29 per month.
So if you do go this active route of print on demand
just know that you're going to have to pay
at least $29 per month to have a website up and running.
And then you can use something like Printful
to do all of the print on demand side of that website.
Moving on the next active style print on demand website,
this is Printify.
Printify is very similar to Printful.
You're going to need your own website and all of that,
except Printify has lower costs.
Their quality is not as high as Printful,
but you're going to be able to lower your cost
as the business owner on each of your products.
So kind of pick one of those two websites.
If you're looking for high quality,
you'll wanna go with Printful.
If you're looking for lower cost,
but still a very wide range of customizable products,
Printify is probably the website for you.
Now with all of that being said,
let's move on to the very last website on this list,
and this one's kind of special.
So this website is etsy.com,
and you've probably heard of this before.
The reason that I say this one is special
is because you can do print on demand on Etsy
and they get a lot of organic traffic.
However, you have to use
a print on demand fulfillment service.
So what that means for you
is that Etsy is not actually the one that does the printing,
and the shipping, and the customer service.
So Etsy falls somewhere in between passive and active.
You will get a lot of organic traffic,
which will bring the customers for you,
but you are going to be responsible for taking that order,
sending it to the company that you're using
to fulfill the print on demand orders,
and most importantly, you are going to be responsible
for the customer service again.
Etsy is one that I personally don't use
and I don't recommend for print on demand
if you're trying to create a passive business.
As I had mentioned before,
I made a full-fledged print on demand tutorial
that covers the passive style of print on demand.
So if you're interested in starting a business that route,
I highly recommend checking out that video.
It'll give you everything that you need totally for free.
All right guys, that's it for this one.
If you have any questions, let me know down in the comments.

I will see you guys all in the next video.
