Hey Guys, Need your valuable advice on something new that I’ve been planning to start.

Planning to start a print on demand online store in India wanted to know

  1. If its worth the effort?

  2. Any providers that you specifically recommend?

  3. Should I start with a shopify website or test these ideas on amazon and other platforms first?

Anything that you’ve learnt that can help from your experience or past venture would also help here.

Thanks in advance

    1. For most people, it’s not worth it. Margins are very low. It’s impossible for most people to make meaningful money from it.

    2. No, don’t use shopify. Use something like Redbubble so you don’t need a store. I doubt Amazon will accept you. It’s hard to sell there in many categories these days.

    1. Is it worth the effort? No there are already a lot of print on demand online stores in India I recommend not doing it, I personally think it’ll be a waste of money because of all the already known print on demand shops in India

    Demand is low, profits will be thin or non-existent, and there is already monster competition in the space. Three strikes, this idea is out.
