12/22/22 • 48 min

In this episode I compare the three main types of print on demand sales channels: artist marketplaces, independent seller marketplaces, and selling through your own website.
I compare the barriers to entry, cost to get started, level of competition, and seller fees associated with each sales channel to help you decide which ones are a good fit for you.
