Overview So you've sold finished products, maybe added some patterns, possibly dabbled around in a few other offerings...what next?! Maker merchandise is a super fun way to stay creative, serve your audience, and grow your business. I recommend using Printful as your production partner, whether you're selling on Etsy, Squarespace, and/or Shopify. Printful offers on-demand printing and fulfillment services, which means all you have to do is design your products, share them with your audience, and Printful will take care of the rest. The process is virtually risk free, and the revenue stream from merchandise is as passive as pattern selling. Here are a few fun pieces I made through Printful: These are just a few of the 220+ products that Printful currently offers. You have a lot of room here to bring your vibe into a wide variety of fun applications. Design your pieces in your preferred program (Canva, Adobe Creative Cloud, etc.) or design right on the Printful website. And again, it costs nothing* to design the product and list it on your shop, so go crazy and make a little bit of everything, then watch your data and eventually pare down to just crowd favorites. *Technically, I do like to order a sample of each product before I officially sell it, so that I can test quality, scale of the design, and do some stories with it. You can order a sample of each of your products at 20% off retail price. Getting Started Setting up a Printful account is FREE. Once you've done that, find your selling platform below (Etsy, Squarespace, Shopify) to connect your store and start selling products. Design a collection, order samples, send to a few maker friends, and enjoy this new stream of passive income! Etsy Create or log in to your Printful account (it's free!)
