Pros

  • • Get to bring your designs to life and there's nothing more fulfilling than that as an artist
  • • Relatively easy to start - can sell on Etsy, don’t need to build your own website

  • • Audience issue
  • • Don't fall for the "get rich quick schemes" - POD is very saturated, especially on Etsy, and it will take time to grow just like any other business
  • • Competing with AI generated "artists”
