The Story

Rachel Kim was a graphic designer at an agency making $65K annually when she discovered print on demand as a side hustle. Within 18 months, her POD income exceeded her salary. She quit her job and started YouTube to document her journey from side hustle to full-time POD entrepreneur. Her content focuses on the design side of POD that others neglect - trend research, niche selection, design principles that sell, and the psychology behind merch that people actually want to wear. She shows her exact process for creating 30+ designs weekly while managing multiple POD platforms. Today, Rachel runs POD stores across Merch by Amazon, Redbubble, Etsy, and her own Shopify stores, generating passive income from a library of 15,000+ designs. Her YouTube has become the go-to resource for creators who want to monetize their design skills.

Print on demand isn't about uploading garbage and hoping. It's about understanding what people want to wear and creating designs worth buying. Design skill is the moat in POD.
