Just a random guy on Youtube, documenting the journey.
About 8 years ago I graduated college with a degree in CIS, but wasn't really passionate about climbing a 9-5 path. I decided to pursue my own path – online entrepreneurship (and I'm grateful every day that I did).
Over the last decade I have grown several Shopify print on demand stores to 6+ figure revenue. This completely changed my life, because I started with almost nothing.
Over the last 3 years I've had the honor of coaching print on demand sellers, helping them generate millions in revenue through Facebook Ads management and scaling.
I love teaching the fundamentals for POD sellers just getting started, as well as the advanced strategies for scaling up a brand.
Everything I teach you is either something I'm actively doing right now in my business, or a strategy from my experience as a full time print on demand seller and print on demand coach.
I truly hope my videos and rants help at least one person out there.

Merry Christmas to you and your loved ones! ♥️💚 Wishing you abundance and success as we round out the year. Which AI made the best design? 🤔
Prompt: A minimalist illustration of a white duck with a brown beak and feet wearing a santa hat standing inside a metal cage with vertical bars. Christmas tree is knocked over off to the side. The duck is drawn in a simple, cartoon style with clean lines and solid colors. The cage has a gray metal door handle on the right side. The background is solid black, creating a stark contrast with the white duck. At the bottom of the image, there is white text that reads "Got Too Silly" in a bold, sans-serif font. The entire illustration has a clean, graphic design aesthetic with high contrast and simple elements.

If you're selling high-profit print on demand products like blankets or jewelry on Shopify...try this discount offer and watch your AOV and conversion rate soar... 🚀
"Buy ANY 3 gifts, get $30 off"
You can set this up as a discount in Shopify by selecting "Amount Off Products" on the discounts dashboard.
If you follow how I have it setup in the screenshot attached to this post, it will automatically apply the $30 off at checkout.
This works because when selling gift-related products, many customers are shopping for multiple people.
Example. A father ALREADY wanted to buy 3 necklaces for their daughters...
So if we give them an incentive like an extra $30 off, we are rewarding them for something they already needed or wanted anyways...
It makes the customer feel like they're winning.
Now...you can take this even farther and setup automatic discounts for BUY4GET40, where they get $40 off any 4 items in your store.
And continue creating automatic discounts until you have something like buy 12 gifts, get $120 off.
You would be surprised how many people will go on a shopping spree to continue "saving" with each added unit...
...but you're profiting more and more from each unit they buy.
It's such a simple addition. But it can make a huge difference.
Example:
Customer orders 7 items, they save $70 and spend a total of $381.50
Costs: my print on demand supplier charges for those 7 items = $140 + $10 shipping
I keep $231.50 in PROFIT...from an order that we never have to create because our print-on-demand supplier creates and ships it out for us.
So try it out...I think you'll see your conversion rate, average order value, and profit increase.

Which AI image model did it best? 🤔 Prompt below!
Prompt: Generate a digital illustration of a gaming-themed version of The Great Wave off Kanagawa, featuring a toad wearing headphones and holding a gray video game controller. The toad is drawn in a cartoon style with brown and beige coloring, sitting in a cross-legged position on a red wooden surface. The background shows the iconic wave from Hokusai's painting, rendered in black and white with white foam. A large red sun dominates the upper portion of the image. The right side contains vertical Japanese text "ゲームカエル" in black. The entire illustration is set within a rectangular frame with a textured, aged appearance. The toad has large, expressive eyes and a content expression while wearing large, orange headphones. The controller is a classic-style gray game controller with visible buttons and a cord. The overall color palette consists of red, brown, black, and white, with the red sun and wooden surface providing strong contrast against the darker elements.

Which AI model did it best? 🤔 Prompt below!
Prompt: A stylized design featuring three dragons playing a game around a round table. The text "HOUSES & HUMANS" appears at the top in distressed orange and yellow lettering. The dragons are rendered in different colors - one orange, one red, and one gray - each spewing fire and smoke coming from their noses and with detailed wing features and horns. The dragons are positioned around a gaming table with various game elements including dice, cards, and a pentagonal-shaped game piece. The table has a detailed pattern of game tracks and markers. The background is black, creating contrast with the vibrant colors of the dragons. The art style is reminiscent of vintage fantasy illustrations with sharp, clean lines and bold colors. The dragons are depicted in dynamic poses, with their wings spread and tails curled around the table. The overall composition is centered and balanced, with the text taking up the top quarter of the design and the dragons and table filling the remaining space.

Hey 👋 Are you using upload automation like MyDesigns and MerchTitans for your print on demand business?
If you're wanting to upload thousands of designs every month to Amazon, Etsy, Shopify, etc...this is the best way, hands-down. You do not want to be sitting there manually uploading these products 1 by 1.
Not when this AMAZING technology exists (this wasn't a thing when I started in print on demand).
I'm just curious, do you use automation in your business? Your answer helps me decide what free video tutorials to create for you all 🙌
Sending good vibes your way!
