  • Welcome back the PODCast!

    Ever feel like you're shouting into the void with your Etsy shop, only to be met with the sound of crickets? Fear not, fellow creators and side hustlers, because Travis and Josiah are here with a lighthearted yet enlightening episode that will equip you with the know-how to kick those stagnant sales to the curb. We'll navigate the tricky waters of e-commerce, pulling from our personal escapades—including a hilarious eclipse story and the art of solo dad-ing—to pinpoint six sneaky sales-killers on Etsy and how to tackle them head-on. From practical advice that goes beyond the basics, like using loss leaders to bait the hook for your Etsy store to embracing customization requests to stand out in a crowded marketplace, you'll be glad you tuned in this week.

    Plus in the Point of Interest, Travis shares about his recent experiment with adding products to his TikTok Shop. Why he's not very far into the process (and not sure how well it will work with POD,) it's still a nice primer. If you're curious, experimenting, or just keen to hear about his ongoing saga with TikTok Shop, you're in for a treat.

    So, grab your earbuds and join us on this journey full of dad jokes, strategic gems, and the shared pursuit of print-on-demand glory.

  • Welcome back the PODCast!

    Easter egg hunts and church choirs are usually reserved for family albums, but not today! Tune in as Travis and Josiah weave tales of their Easter escapades into a broader narrative about the hustle of online selling. From the echoes of laughter during a family Easter egg showdown to the strum of a guitar in a church service, they set the stage for an episode that marries personal anecdotes with the cutthroat strategies of navigating Shopify and marketplaces in the print-on-demand cosmos.

    And all of that before noon. ;-)

    Ever felt the rush of a new tech purchase or the buzz of an upcoming sports event? The guys channel that excitement into dissecting the choice between embracing the autonomy of Shopify or leveraging the traffic of marketplaces. The episode takes you through the trenches of e-commerce decision-making, armed with stories of both victory and the occasional novelty t-shirt store flop. (Looking at you, TeeScream!)

    The grand finale is a candid discussion about the pivotal choice every print-on-demand entrepreneur must face: to marketplace or not to marketplace, that is the question. If you're navigating the seas of customer traffic versus full profit control, the guys have got the compass you need. The journey from learning to doing can be daunting, but with a mix of humor, advice, and real-life experiences, Travis and Josiah are here to guide you through, one dad joke at a time.

    Dang. That last sentence was pure gold.

  • Welcome back the PODCast!

    This week Travis and Josiah tackle a question that seems to come up quite a lot - can you do POD for free? And while technically you can, in the end you'll almost always trade efficiency for dollars - opportunity cost is a real thing!

    Plus, in the Point of Interest the guys share about a new DTG/DTF hybrid, the Epson SureColor F1070. While it's an entry level machine, the price is at least half what other DTG printers cost! They do some comparisons with the F2100 and F3070, and while it may not be as robust as those printers, it's still an intriguing option if you're considering getting into the production game.

  • Welcome back to the show, POD Pals!

    In this episode of the Print on Demand Cast, Travis and Josiah share insights on goal setting. Considering it's a new year, many people will make New Year Resolutions only to abandon them in the upcoming weeks and months. Why is that?

    In the acclaimed book '⁠Atomic Habits⁠,' author James Clear explains that part of the reason we give up on our goals is that we focus on the results and not the systems that will get us to those results. To that end, the guys share the difference between "achievement based goals" and "habit based goals."

    Additionally, the guys take some time to share potential strategies on growing your POD business, how to manage and track goals effectively, as well as the importance of maintaining balance between your business and personal life goals.
