Welcome back to the PODCast!

In this week's show, I share some things about the show that I've been considering for awhile. If you're a long time listener, you know I'm a straight shooter when it comes to this stuff, so buckle in.

In all honestly, I've been thinking about the PODCast all wrong. I've been thinking of it as a product as opposed to a marketing instrument that could amplify interest in a print on demand coaching business (which doesn't really exist - at least not in the way I want it to.) Because of the weekly schedule of creating this show, it's been difficult to navigate it all - the challenges of content creation as well as the need to bolster my own POD business' growth.

In the end, the Main Event of this episode delves into me redefining my priorities, as well as the strategic decision to scale back on podcast production (and all that comes with it) to focus on building a sustainable business model with a product that I'm proud of.

Finally, I'd love for you to TAKE THIS SURVEY and let me know what would be important for you in a paid print on demand product (if I even end up creating one is still TBD.) It'll only take 2-3 minutes and will really help.

Enjoy the show!

Welcome back to the Print On Demand Cast!

in this week's episode, I take a deep dive into the pros and cons of in-house versus outsourced production. From quality control to scalability, each method presents its own set of challenges and opportunities. Whether it's analyzing the cost structure of a large coffee mug order or the logistics of efficient shipping, I provide insights into optimizing operations and maximizing profits. With practical examples and real-world scenarios, I hope to arm you with the knowledge to make strategic decisions for your print-on-demand business.

At the end of the episode, I share a link to a google sheet I created that can help you figure out your profit margins for in-house and outsourced production. You can grab that for yourself at https://printondemandcast.com/production-comparison-sheet.

Plus, in this week's Point Of Interest, I share two updates from Printful that I thought we're pretty cool. The first is a new product - custom jacquard knitting, a technique that transforms yarn into intricate patterns within the fabric itself. This innovation could elevate your print-on-demand offerings to new heights, or at least new profits! Secondly, I share a limited time discount Printful is offering to their Printful Growth subscribers from Nov 1 - Dec 15. I spend a lot of time talking about the embroidered trucker hat you can get shipped to your customer for under $15, but there are a few other popular products on the list.

One last thing, if you want the full experience of this episode, you really should consider watching it on YouTube since I share my screen a lot.

Enjoy the show!

This week just got away from me (Travis.) In the end, I decided to rebroadcast one my my favorite and IMO most valuable episodes about the four stages of your print on demand journey. Take a listen!

----

In this week's episode of the Print on Demand Cast, Josiah and Travis discuss the four personality types of Print-On-Demand (POD) entrepreneurs - The Curious, The Rookies, The Seasoned, and The Thriving. They delve into the key symptoms and defining traits of each type, providing advice and next steps for transitioning from one stage to the next while avoiding pitfalls.

They also stress the importance of a strategic approach, learning from others' experiences, effectively using tools and platforms, and maintaining work-life balance while expanding business operations.
