I don't know I've followed him long enough, but this Ryan was way into this pod so he's able to purchase designs to upload. At first he's dishing out own designs until he can come up with enough income to go automation. What I meant is he's had enough budget to get for himself and hire other artists to produce for him. As this pod thing is seriously passive money maker, he's done it multiple sites and also branching in other passive income areas so he's comfortable enough to basically make more than 50 designs a day. But not a bad target though, you can go 50 designs today, and another 6 days you go relax. X-D I myself tried so hard to find original ideas or finding trends to translate it to design ideas. Probably wanna join his fb group to see what's happening there X-D QUALITY

QUANTITY

BOTH?

I love your straight-forward, honest approach more than going easy on people, anything to make it understood that it's not ok to upload copywritten graphics and tags. Keep it up. Also, I'm not trying to sound like I think I'm a saint or anything, nor am I necessarily directing my opinion here on any of the designers featured in this video... I am just kinda tired of seeing videos catering to making things as easy and work-free as possible. Those type of videos are popular for a reason. But let it be known, if you truly want to make passive income, you will have to work for it at first. If you aren't ready to put some work and passion into designs, there are tons of other ways to earn money. Much love and luck to everyone trying to make it on print on demand, it's simply not that easy, even when you follow the best practices. The competition is insane. Think about all the other ways and means to buy these type of products. You got all your online options, then ya got thrift stores, retail stores, homemade... I mean it's incomprehensible, really. Why do you think stickers are so popular, they're not as expensive and not as easy to make yourself.

Yep...Right on point! 1- It's NOT easy ...( ..I'm a Graphic Designer ) 2- The ONLY thing "Passive"....is the way Money comes in Automatically when a sale is done. Otherwise ...they're a lot of work and discipline if you are serious ...and especially for Beginners that don't want to pay for Designers, Ads...etc.... People really misunderstand this Business...

Artist says that POD is hard work and passion. Insane competition from online, thrift stores, retail shops, home made.... Stickers---not expensive, not easy to make yourself

Identify buying trends and clues...Etsy is a great source of ideas in general

TIPS 2. 

2. Etsy's eRank.  Free site. He uses it a lot. No more selling on Etsy after one successful year. 

Shop sold 4,000 items in one day. Browse by category....clothing section...100,000 sales...zoeysattic is a heavy hitter, over 200,000 in sales, about what eRank says.
