If you’re doing Print on Demand (POD), here’s one thing you absolutely need to know: right now is an INCREDIBLE time to be in the game.
If you don’t know what Print on Demand is, check out this reading list:
I’ve been averaging over $500 a day in profit since mid-July, and with the political niche on fire, I expect these sales to keep rolling in for the next 6 months.
Important sidenote, to clarify things: This is my side-hustle. I still have a full time job, and yet I am able to still find time to crush it with POD. And you can too!
In this article, I’m going to break down exactly what I’m doing to stay ahead of the curve and how you can earn 10x more with your POD business.
Ready? Let’s dive in.
1. Capitalize on Hot Niches Using Google Trends
Let’s start with the basics. If you’re not using Google Trends to track what’s hot, you’re leaving money on the table.
Personally, I’ve been all over the political niche, and it’s been paying off big time.
For example, just type in “Trump shirt” or “Kamala shirt” into Google Trends, and you’ll see the spikes in interest.
These spikes are your signal to start creating products that cater to what people are searching for right now.
Example: After a major political event like these elections, there is a huge surge in searches for Trump-related merchandise.
I quickly created a series of designs, and the sales came pouring in.
This wasn’t just a fluke — it’s a pattern that repeats every time there’s a significant event. By being quick to act, you can profit hugely!
Also, it’s SUPER SIMPLE to create designs these days, for example I just generated the following Trump design (via MyDesigns):
2. Use Tools to Stay Ahead of Trends
Being early to a trend can be the difference between making a sale and missing out entirely.
And no, I’m not suggesting you sit in front of the TV watching mainstream news 24/7 — that’s not how I do it.
Instead, I use research tools that monitor major e-commerce platforms like Amazon or Etsy for real-time trends.
There are tons of tools out there, I could list like 10 of them, but the 2 which I use the most are:
At the moment, you can use PODCS for free. It has just recently added Etsy info, but apart from this it also provides Redbubble & Amazon research tools to show you the BSR, best sellers, trends and more.
If I use their Merch By Amazon Seller Trends tool, and filter for products with a good BSR (lower BSR = more sales), then I can see what’s been selling well the past week.
Here are some of the results:
As you can see, Kamala Harris is also in this list (the last one)
Sometimes you can find these cool designs that are suddenly “blowing up” — if you see that, don’t hesitate.
Recently I saw something like that; I made designs, listed them, and started raking in sales before the competition even knew what hit them.
3. Leverage Multiple Platforms
Don’t put all your eggs in one basket.
Sure, Amazon is huge, but if you’re not also on Etsy, you’re missing out on another massive opportunity.
Each platform has its own audience, and the more places you’re selling, the more chances you have to make a sale.
Example: On a single day, I made 102 orders on Etsy, resulting in over $700 in profit. That’s just one platform, one day.
If you’re only on Amazon, you’re only getting a slice of the pie. Diversify, and you can start eating the whole thing.
4. Don’t Wait — Act Fast
Here’s the thing: most people will read this article, get excited, and then… do nothing. They’ll tell themselves they’ll get to it later, and by the time they do, the opportunity will have passed.
Don’t be that person.
The reason I’ve been able to consistently pull in $500 a day is because I act fast and stay ahead of the trends.
Example: Like I just said above — when I noticed a trend recently on one of my research platforms, I didn’t sit on it. I jumped in, created designs, and listed them the same day.
That speed is what sets successful sellers apart from the rest.
Final Thoughts
Print on demand is an incredible opportunity right now, especially with the political niche heating up as we approach the elections.
There’s so much potential here that it’s almost crazy not to dive in.
With the right tools, strategies, and a willingness to act fast, you can easily earn 10x more than you’re making right now.
Best of luck!
