In this video we'll be discussing the state of Print on Demand in 2020. Is it Dead? It's certainly changed since I started. The market is saturated with terrible designs but in a way that makes good designs stand out even more.

You just have to know where to look. There are a few areas that will always bring in sales on Merch by Amazon. Trending topics are always a good option, small niches that fall under the radar and finally, just plain good design will always sell.

Watch for my 3 things to know in 2020 about print on demand.

One of the hardest things about being a professional graphic designer doing niche research and having to stomach all the absolutely terrible designs. Especially on Amazon. 99% of Merch designs are incredibly bad. When will Merchers realize that more fonts does not equal better design?

Pro Tip:
(1) Two fonts max.
(2) Making “better version” of a popular shirt is the sure fire way to never succeed in Amazon.
(3) Copying ideas is what 99% of Merchers do. That’s why people are constantly complaining about not making much money on Merch. Everyone has the same tactic and the oversaturate niches.
(4) Originality is key. Always.
