On this week's episode, Travis and Josiah give some content ideas for marketing your Etsy shop (or any POD site for that matter) with social media. While marketing in general can be daunting, when it comes to social media, most of the time it's simply because we don't know what to post. Hopefully this week's Main Event will help with that brain block and fire you up to create a content calendar for your social media strategy.

Plus, on the Point Of Interest, the guys give an update on Adobe Firefly as it's recently come out of beta and is ready for the mainstream.

On this week's episode, Travis is on the road to California delivering equipment to a buyer as he continues to wrap up fulfillment operations of Make Your Mark Design. The audio may not be great, but the content about Influencer marketing continues as Travis expounds on a call he had with a listener to last week's show. Travis shares the advice he gave him to build a niched website that's one of the best in his niche, adding influencers by using codes and/or specific SKUs. Lot's of marketing ideas to be had in this episode!

Plus, on the Point Of Interest, the guys take a stab at some "bonus content" since Travis was driving. It's not POD related, but hopefully you'll find it entertaining as the guys discuss, "who is the best "famous" John?"

On this week's episode, Travis shares some of the struggles he's had with owning and operating a print on demand fulfillment center. In the spirit of transparency, he shares about how the overhead has finally caught up with him and is taking some fairly drastic measures in Make Your Mark Design. While very few people typically enjoy hearing about failure, the guys believe this kind of authentic talk about the ups and downs of business is important. Failure is often not shared until there is new success. However, many business owners go through challenges like this every day and it's important to face them and process those things with honesty. Hopefully this will help some who may have considered giving up on their dreams or have had the wind taken out of their sails.

Also, in the Point Of Interest, Travis shares about his time at the Podcast Movement 2023 conference. While not specifically POD related, it seemed like a fun topic to share about as it's given Travis new ideas for the Print On Demand Cast.

Welcome back to the PODCast!

On this week's show, Travis and Josiah's schedules were giving them more challenges that normal so they've put together a rebroadcast of a very popular early episode.

Episode 10 was all about organizing your designs and SKUs to be able to scale efficiently as you add hundreds and even thousands of designs over time. While some things have changed in the last three years, the basic idea of organization stays the same.

Plus, in the Point Of Interest, the guys share some of the differences between Walmart Fulfillment Services (WFS) and Fulfilled By Amazon (FBA.)

Obviously knowing your customer is important in any business, but how can you use that knowledge in a print on demand setting? Well on this week's show Travis and Josiah spend time trying to understand the psychology of somebody who is buying a product online. 

What can be done to make it easier for a potential customer to actually purchase the item they're viewing in their browser? It greatly depends on the type of shopper the person is, but in your listing creation you can cater to different types of buyers if you know who they are. In the end, your conversion rate should rise as you gain knowledge about how people make buying decisions online.

Plus, in this week's Point Of Interest, a major printing equipment manufacturer has finally released a DTF printer.

On this week's show we decided to dive into the world of mockups. As you know, your mockup quality is directly related to your conversion rate on your print on demand products. In other words, if you don't accurately present your products with a high quality mockup, you could lose the sale. It's that important.

So take a listen as we run down some of the tools we've used for years and give you the pros and cons of each.

Plus, in this week's Point of Interest, Etsy is updating the way they display product images on their listing pages. Make sure you start creating your Etsy images in 1:1 ratio or you'll be limiting the size of your thumbnails on the search page.

On this week's show we invited Drew Wilson from Kittl to share some of the amazing things that design program can do. Drew was full of ideas about how Kittl can potentially be a one stop shop for print on demand sellers.

Additionally, he offered us an exclusive free trial for our listeners, but there's a catch - the code is only active for a few days after this episode goes live (and it went live today, July 26, 2023.)

So if you want to give Kittl Pro a try for an entire 30 days, make sure you go to this link and use code:
PRINTONDEMANDCAST 

But do it soon as this offer expires on 08/06/23!

Even if you don't feel like Kittl is right for you, Drew shared some nice golden nuggets about design, particularly about text and typefaces. Take a listen and see what you can take away from his advice.
