My 2024 POD Predictions 
by Ronnie McKenzie, founder of Storehacks

- Etsy + Print-On-Demand for 9-5ers & Busy Parents -
The Ultimate Side Hustle Opportunity in 2024 ?

E-commerce is still booming in the post-COVID world, and Print-on-Demand is arguably the fastest growing market within it.

The Print-on-Demand industry grew from $4.9billion last year to $6.2 billion today.

And it is set to grow even more, from $6.2 billion today up to $64.3 billion by 2032 according to research!

That’s a 10X growth!

That means there’s an extra 60 BILLION dollars of demand for POD products that is up for grabs for POD sellers in the coming years.

And within the Print-on-Demand space, one platform stands out in particular: 

Etsy.

Etsy is a fantastic opportunity for 9-5ers looking to create a successful online business through Print-On-Demand (POD) products. 

If you're a busy parent or 9-5er who wants to start a side hustle that is fun and helps you achieve your financial goals, Etsy offers an amazing platform to turn your spare time into a profitable moneymaker. 

Let's dive into why Etsy stands out as the ultimate platform in the world of POD entrepreneurship in 2024…

1. The Potential of Etsy for Print-On-Demand
Etsy has played a huge role in driving the growth of the Print-on-Demand market in the last couple of years.

With 500 million visits in January 2024 alone, Etsy is a world-leading e-commerce platforms for handmade and customizable products.

Given the gift-based and/or personalized nature of Print-On-Demand products, Etsy and POD are a match made in heaven.

Instead of focusing on paying for traffic or chasing views, Etsy actually provides POD sellers - especially beginners - with an infinite and consistent amount of eyeballs/traffic day in and day out.

It is easier than ever to launch and manage a successful POD business on the Etsy platform - in fact, with seamless automated integration to Print-On-Demand suppliers, you can have your products listed within minutes and reach close to 100 million+ actual Etsy buyers every month!

I expect Etsy to continue to be a booming marketplace for POD sellers in 2024 where they can list their products and easily connect with one of the biggest pool of active buyers on the internet.
2. Beginner-Friendly Success Stories on Etsy
The success stories of Etsy sellers - especially the success I noticed my beginner students achieve on Etsy in the last year - are a testament to the platform's earning potential.

According to Etsy's own data, over 87% of sellers on the platform consider their Etsy shop a business. 

More importantly, Etsy sellers are thriving financially, with nearly 36% of sellers reporting that their Etsy shop income helps them afford necessities they couldn't otherwise afford. 

And 18% of Etsy sellers report that their shop income is enough to support themselves full-time 

(We’ll be covering how I can help you make sure you’re in that top 18% of profitable Etsy sellers later in this article…)

After more than 1,000 calls I held with both aspiring and established POD entrepreneurs in the last 2 years - I've learned that financial independence and time freedom are the two ultimate goals.

That's exactly what drove me to get into POD in the first place in 2013.

Etsy is absolutely amazing for beginners. 

Even single products with simple designs have the ability to generate six and even seven figures in sales, with great profit margins. 

And once those numbers start flowing in, then we can graduate the winners to Shopify + ads with a lot less risk and a lot more certainty.

3. Why Now is the Ideal Time to Dive into Print-On-Demand on Etsy
There's never been a better time for parents & 9-5ers to explore the potential of a side hustle. Especially with the advent of Artificial Intelligence (AI).

Etsy's POD platform offers a low-risk, high-reward opportunity to generate extra income and become a online store owner outside of the traditional 9-5 grind.

The traditional e-commerce business model requires significant upfront investment in inventory, complexity, hassle and costs which can often range into 5-figures alone. 

Print-on-Demand removes the need for inventory because sellers only need to place the order with their supplier AFTER their customer has purchased and paid them! 

On top, the (usually local) supplier handles all shipping so you never have to touch the product, and their order portal is automated so you don’t even need to speak to them.

Etsy takes this to the next level for POD beginners because that also removes the initial roadblocks of running ads. 

Even though I used to teach my students to run ads to a Shopify store first, I believe starting on Etsy first is a wiser choice in 2024.

Starting with Etsy and then graduating to Shopify works much better for time-strapped beginners especially in 2024 when the Etsy buyer traffic has become so reliable and solid.

4. Maximizing Simplicity, Flexibility and Cost Effectiveness
Etsy makes getting started in Print-on-Demand even more simple and cost effective.

While the usual route in Print-on-Demand is to start a Shopify website and investment into advertising.

For some people ads can be complicated.

Etsy removes both of these complications at the beginning of the journey so that you can focus on mastering the product creation.

Once products on Etsy are figured out, Shopify + ads can then be used as the go-to strategy for FAST scalability to 7-figures and beyond.

One of the key advantages of selling POD products on Etsy is the simplicity and flexibility it offers to 9-5ers and parents who are balancing multiple commitments. 

It allows you to leverage your spare time on the actions that make you money: creating and uploading designs/products that resonate with your chosen niche. 

The Etsy platform streamlines the process of listing and promoting your products, allowing you to focus on growing your business without adding unnecessary complexity or technicality.

On top of that there is a range of powerful tools that allow us to hack the process of succeeding on Etsy with POD.

CONCLUSION
In conclusion, Print-on-Demand on Etsy stands as a great entry point for POD sellers & 9-5ers looking for a profitable side hustle in 2024. 

With its huge traffic, and user-friendly interface, Etsy offers a simple platform where beginners can thrive and millions of products are sold.

After 10 years in this business and selling close to millions of dollars in sales, I’ve discovered that there is a clear blueprint to hacking your success with POD both on Etsy and Shopify.

That PODhacking blueprint is what allows you to master the POD product creation process i.e. figuring out how to create products that go viral and generate 5, 6 or 7 figures WHILE making sure that your time is used efficiently so that we don't have to spend more than 2 hours a day running it.

That's why I'm so excited to announce the newest addition to my coaching - my brand new fresh-out-of-the-oven ETSY 2024 curriculum!

Why am I so excited about this? 

Well, I’ve just created a brand new curriculum in my PODHacks Accelerator coaching program called Etsy GoldSeam™, where I teach busy parents and 9-5ers exactly how to use Etsy first to create $5k-$20k+ in monthly sales from their Print-On-Demand side hustles.

That new Etsy curriculum with its step by step in depth new training modules is worth a minimum of $5,000 standalone because of the value that's inside that will allow you to to hit those $5k, 10k, 20k and $30k+ on Etsy.

So if you’d like my support to start & grow your Etsy Print-On-Demand business and get to the top 18% of Etsy sellers whose shop income is enough to support themselves full-time…

Or if you’re looking to add an income stream and create some passive income each month from Etsy Print-On- Demand…
