Today I’m sharing with you how you can make nice money with print on demand business this mother’s day
For people who are unaware international mothers day is just around the corner i.e May 8 & demand for unique mothers day gifts is quite high & we are gonna leverage it
But before I show you how, let’s talk about POD Business
What Is POD aka Print On Demand? How Does POD work?
Print On Demand as the name suggests here products will be printed only when they are demanded i.e after the order is placed.
Basically, there are many print on demand websites/platforms, which you can join for free by the way
Just sign up with print on demand platform, upload your designs & the POD website will create many mock-ups of your designs on different types of products, ranging from Tshirts to mugs, pillow covers to phone cases, wall art to shower curtains, etc
These are just mockups, once your design is approved & you are satisfied with the mockup
The next step is to drive traffic to your products, promote them & only when someone places the order the pod websites will print the design on the product & complete the order
You don’t need to worry about the product, inventory, shipping, or delivery. just come up with a nice eye catchy designs & the rest will be handled by the POD websites
And once the product is delivered you’ll get paid minus the base cost & service fees
now let’s get to the important part
How Can You Start a POD (Print On Demand) Business
It is super simple, no investment or experience is required & I’ll walk you through
Step 1 – Get Designs For your POD Business
Usually, I recommend you go to canva & create your own designs but as the title suggests no designing is required here
Today I’m sharing with you not 1 but 2 bundles of premium designs created exclusively for mothers day for free

Step 3
Sign up for a Print On Demand website
There are many pod websites to choose from like Printful, Teespring, Redbubble., Printify even Amazon Merch. But for this article, I’m considering RedBubble
Go to Redbubble, and sign up. It is free & hardly takes 2 minutes
Step 4: Upload Your Design
Now click on sell Your Art/Add New Work
Next,
Basic SEO – Rank High on Redbubble
Do a bit of research & choose some low competition but in-demand keywords & use them in your title, tags & description
Warning
Be careful while picking up titles & tags. stay away from trademarked words, if you use them your design will be suspended
Better use TM Hunt to see if the keywords you are using are trademarked or not
Most Important thing About POD aka Print On Demand
Regardless of the pod platforms, you are using. make sure your designs have a transparent background. It is really important. If not your designs will be messy & not compatible with the wide variety of products.
In simple words, you won’t be getting any sales
If you are using the designs that I have shared then there is no issue because all those designs already have transparent backgrounds.
If you are creating your own designs on canva then you can easily remove the background if you have a pro account (get pro account for free) & if not use remove.bg website to remove the background
Step 5: Editing/Adjusting
There are many products, enable the one you want. edit to set the size, background color, etc
Step 6: publish your design
Click that you have the right to publish this product, select the type of your design, & select no for adult content & then hit publish
Step 7: Promotion
Now you need to promote your products, for that use Instagram & Pinterest. from my POV these two platforms work best for POD
Try it & let me know if you want a much more detailed blog post & different topics on POD
