"Like with anything, there are benefits and risks to Print on Demand. Before this podcast really ramps up, I wanted to address the big elephant in the room: Is Print on Demand passive income?

Personally, I don’t believe in passive income except for, like, interest accumulation. To me, that is truly passive. So, while I’m not any kind of expert when it comes to finance, I like to think of print on demand earnings as a form of, like, book royalties. Is it different than royalties? Absolutely! But! It’s similar, too! When you have a traditional job, you know what you are going to make every hour. When you’re taking on a creative project - writing a book, creating artwork, designing, etc. - it’s totally different.

Sometimes, people will make a lot of money for minimal effort. Other times, people will make a little money for maximum effort. And today? We’re going to explore this!"
