Introduction to Print on Demand in 2025
Over the past few years, there have been hundreds of videos trying to show you how to start a print-on-demand business. But many of these videos are just outdated, or they simply don’t work. But what if I were to tell you that there’s a new strategy in 2025 that will make you money with print-on-demand if you follow the steps I’m about to show you? And this method is so powerful that these two stores are making thousands of dollars every month with this strategy, like this store that made over $75,000 with it.
Proof of Success: Real Store Examples
And this store made almost half a million dollars with it. I also found that this guy has made over $1.4 million with print-on-demand. I’m going to show you what this strategy is and how you can start your print-on-demand store, start to finish. And what’s amazing is you don’t need any special skills. And you don’t have to spend thousands of dollars on ads. You don’t even need any design skills to do this.
Getting Started with Printify
So, let’s dive right in. First of all, you want to do is head over to Printify, and you need to make a free account.

Setting Up Your Printify Account
Just going to create an account here. And also, it’s going to take you to some questions. We’re going to check. I’m new here. You want to just check the individual. And then you can just check off anything in these boxes that applies to you. But I’m just going to check, I’m just starting, and I’ll check next. Then I’m exploring different options. And I am going to choose the United States here cuz that’s where I am. And where did you last hear about Printify? And then we finally get to the dashboard.
Creating Your First Product on Printify
Now, you’re going to want to click to create a product, which is this button right here. And it’s going to help us create our first product. Now, you can see a few of the different options that you can add your design to. And don’t worry, we’re going to show you how to make a design without any skills at all in just a second. Like, you can add it to clothes, you can add it to mugs, to paper, stationery, phone cases, so many different things. I’m just going to click clothing and apparel just as an example, but you could use any of these categories that you want. And then
Choosing a Product to Sell
You can just pick any kind of product that you want to sell. For this example, it doesn’t matter. I am just trying to show you how this works. For this illustration, I am just going to click on a chapeau so we can see how it works. I’m going to click on start designing. And you can see right here, it’s going to let us put our design onto this hat. Now, again, they’re not going to mail you boxes and boxes of these hats that you make that you have to hold in your garage until you sell them.
How Print on Demand Works
They’re going to handle everything. That’s what print-on-demand is. So, as soon as someone buys one of your hats, they’re going to print it right then in real time and mail it out to your customer. Now, the next step is we have to upload a design to Printify that is going to be put on this hat. So, I’m going to show you how to make these designs in just a second. But before we do, I want to give you some instructions about the kinds of things that you should put on your print-on-demand stuff
The Importance of Niche Marketing: Tribe Marketing
so that it will sell. Cuz this is where most people get stuck with print-on-demand. They create products that no one wants to buy, and they never sell anything. But I’ve got a genius strategy that’s going to solve this for you and make sure that your products sell like crazy. And in two words, it’s called tribe marketing. And basically, this is a style of marketing that targets passionate groups of people who share strong beliefs or strong similar interests or even strong dislikes.
Examples of Target Tribes
Let me give you some exemplifications of what I am talking about. A big one that everyone knows about is just political groups. In the US, we have Republicans, we have Democrats, we have all these different political groups. And each group is super passionate about their cause. There are also sports fans. suppose about how passionate people are about a sports platoon that they follow veritably nearly. There are also music communities that like a certain style of music, or maybe they follow a certain music artist. There are pet lovers, right? There are dog people.
Using Tribe Marketing to Increase Sales
There are cat people. There are even people who like specific breeds of dogs and are passionate about them. And then there are also religion-based groups like Christian or Muslim. And these groups of people that are in these different tribes like to spend money to show off their identity. And you, watching this video, are probably a member of one or more tribes. You might even have some clothing in your closet that shows off your membership with that tribe. And it’s because when we’re passionate about something, we want the world to know. And we can capitalize
This is to create print-on-demand stores that target specific tribes. This dramatically increases the chances of your print-on-demand products dealing. You might even want to target a tribe that you’re a member of because you’re going to know intimately the things that that tribe is passionate about. Now, identifying the tribe, though, is only half of the equation because you also need people in that tribe to see your online store and buy from it. And that’s where this strategy, right now in 2025, comes in.
The Secret to Success in 2025: Viral Content
And I want to show you how it works. The real secret to print-on-demand in 2025 is creating viral content that sells your merchandise. Back in the day, people used to run Facebook ads and all kinds of stuff, but that’s very difficult to do now. Instead, I’m going to show you how to create viral content. It’s 100% free to generate, and the audience will be 100% free, and you won’t have to pay for advertising. Now, how can you create viral content? I’m going to give you four ways to do it. The first one is called meme marketing. This is where you take
Four Ways to Create Viral Content: Meme Marketing
The first one is called meme marketing. This is where you take trending jokes from a tribe, and you turn them into products. Let me talk about an illustration of this. I don’t know if you remember, but when Trump was running for president, there were a ton of people creating funny meme shirts like the one I’m showing you right now. And this specific one went super viral. You can see here that it shows a supposed mug shot of Donald Trump, accompanied by the phrase never surrender. And this one went viral after his indictment in Georgia. Now, his campaign is raising $7.
Controversy Marketing
Now, his crusade has reported raising over $7 million as a result of this mugshot. And a significant portion of that was attributed to merchandise sales, including this t-shirt. The second way to create viral content is through controversy marketing. And you might say, “This Trump t-shirt might fit in that same category.” But it’s creating a polarizing design that sparks people’s interest and sparks their reaction. Like, here’s an example of a controversial t-shirt warning may contain opinions. It is saying, “Don’t shut me down. Let me.
Stitching Viral Videos for Content
Speak my mind.” The third way to create viral content is going on TikTok or Instagram and looking for content that’s currently going viral, getting millions and millions of views, and then stitching those together to create a new video to get a reaction from people. I am going to teach about that a little bit later in this article. And what’s so amazing about these methods is they’re 100% free.
The Importance of Consistency in Content Creation
You’re going to be getting free traffic from Instagram reels, from TikTok, and YouTube shorts instead of having to pay anything for ads. And these platforms are extremely empty for people to upload vids to them right now, which means your store could be generating thousands of bones in profit for you just from one of your videos going viral. I’m going to show you step by step how to do this in just a second. But before we move on with this video, I want to go back to Printify and finish setting up your store. Now, I do want to say you do have to create many, many videos, like maybe three to five videos per day, in order

Uploading and Designing Products Using Canva

Now, for this specific example, my tribe that I’m going to target is Golden Retriever Lovers. And if you remember where we left off, it was time to upload our custom design that we were going to put on whatever products we’re going to sell, whether it’s hats or shirts or mugs or whatever it is. So, right now, we’re going to go over to a tool called
Canva makes it easy to create these designs. All you need to do is go to Canva and then type in the words t-shirt in the search there. And we’re going to click on t-shirt design. And it’s going to give you all these different designs that you can just click into and edit. For example, let’s say you had a design that was beach-related. You just click into this design here. You click on Customize it. You change the text to what you want. And just like that, you have a design that you can then download and upload to Printify. This is how
