Rookie print-on-demand errors
Starting a print-on-demand business can be an exciting and potentially lucrative side hustle.
However, like any new business, there are some common mistakes that beginners often make when first getting started.
Avoiding these mistakes from the outset can set you on the path to success much more quickly.
In this article, I’ll explore the top 7 print-on-demand beginner mistakes to avoid.
Expecting Immediate Sales
One of the most common mistakes beginners make is expecting to see sales right away.
The reality is that it takes time to gain traction and start seeing consistent sales in print-on-demand.
Many factors come into play, including your niche, the competitiveness of your designs, and how well you’ve optimized your listings.
Generally, it takes 1–2 months to start seeing sales, though some see them sooner while others take longer to gain momentum.
Be patient, keep uploading new designs, and don’t get discouraged if sales don’t happen overnight. Consistency over time is key.
