Over the past ten years, the dropshipping industry has exploded in size and sophistication. This has resulted in dramatically increased profitability and opportunities for both new and existing sellers alike. This was, and still is, a massive opportunity that ANYONE can take advantage of to start earning money online with very little risk and investment.<\/span><\/p>\n

BUT, if you want to truly maximize your ability to profit, you need to consider Print-on-demand (POD), and here\u2019s why. Just a few years ago, the POD industry was worth $3.9 billion. <\/span>But by 2026, the market is expected to grow to $16 billion<\/span><\/a>! That\u2019s not even the best part. <\/span>Print-on-demand stores have an average success rate of 24%<\/span><\/a>! Combined with the dropshipping model, the chances of you achieving meaningful success is much higher with POD.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In this article, we\u2019ll go over what exactly Print-on-demand is and how you can take advantage of it using Zendrop.<\/span><\/p>\n

Understanding Print-On-Demand<\/strong><\/h2>\n

First things first, what is print on demand? Fortunately, it\u2019s quite simple:<\/span><\/p>\n

A print-on-demand business is where a customized product is created and shipped out only AFTER the customer has already paid. In this regard, it\u2019s pretty similar to dropshipping. You don\u2019t have to pay upfront for inventory and it\u2019s generally a very low-risk model.<\/span><\/p>\n

POD continues to grow in popularity, largely in part due to the rise of e-commerce and the demand for personalized items. It allows sellers to offer a broad range of products without the complexities of managing inventory. It also lets you take advantage of current events and trends immediately, which makes it much easier to ride bandwagons and make money that way.<\/span><\/p>\n

How It Works<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The way it works is very simple.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Pick a Print-On-Demand Partner<\/b>: Your POD partner (<\/span>like Zendrop<\/span><\/a>) will take care of the entire printing and fulfillment process.<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. Design Creation<\/b>: You create a design to put on a product called a \u2018blank\u2019. Blanks are product bases (like shirts, hoodies, mugs, posters, etc) with nothing on them. Your design will go on the blank.<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. Order Placement<\/b>: When a customer orders your product, the POD partner will make the design and take care of the delivery process.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Main Benefits For You<\/strong><\/h3>\n

    Since the POD market is currently undergoing rapid growth, there\u2019s a lot of room for you to come in and take up market share, even as a new seller. According to <\/span>Dropshipping.com<\/span><\/a> and <\/span>Yaguara<\/span><\/a>, almost 13% of all Shopify stores are dropshippers vs less than 5% for POD stores.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
