Where to Make Money Using Print-On-Demand Sites – Part 2
I received some encouragement after yesterday’s post that I almost forgot I need to write the conclusion for this topic. After we have seen the first 7 print-on-demand sites, mainly on T-shirts, accessories and books, I want to reveal another 8 sites that do totally different things.
If you are the kind who like creating cookbook, then Tastebook is what you might be looking for. Tastebook provides stunning hardcover, spinal bound cookboook binder that can hold up to 100 recipes together. What really set Tastebook apart from other print-on-demand sites is that users can upload their own recipes or choose from a large number of 3rd parties providers. So now you can create cookbooks for sale without being a chef yourself.
There are over 200,000 indie artists selling their work on CDbaby. They are not exactly a print-on-demand publisher, since they only handle the warehousing, selling and distribution of your CDs. They do offer discs duplication service on their site too. Check this site out if you are into indie music.
The Game Crafter is an excellent service for those who are interested in selling their own boardgames or collectible card games. All you have to do is upload your art work and game rules, pick the pieces (dices or pawns) that need to be included in the set and you are ready to go. The Game Crafter will handle the printing, packaging and delivery each time an order comes in. I have to admit the end product may not be as polished as those you see in stores, but the results are quite good considering they are print-on-demand. I am sure The Game Crafter service will improve over time.
Have you watched Project Runway? If you have, you will know that the kind of print will make or break a design, right? Won’t it be great to have your own design turn into a printed fabric? Spoonflower, a print-on-demand fabric seller does just that. They allow designers to create and sell their designs on either quilting or upholstery weight cotton or organic cotton sateen. The pricing may be expensive though, ranging from US$18 – US$32 per yard (0.914 m).
Ponoko will take your 3D designs and turn them into real products using a variety of materials. It can be materials such as MDF, bamboo, cardboard, leather and acrylic. End result? You can create your own products such as toys, furnitures, housewares, jewelry and even electronics and sell them in your own storefront.
Similar to Ponoko, Shapeways allows the users to upload their designs and turn them into real products using the 3D printing technology. The site will provide you with a storefront to sell your products. Some users are using the site to sell their art, toys, jewelry and other gadgets while others are using it as a platform to create product prototypes.
If you are an artist who want to sell your print art work, ImageKind is the place to be. This site is own by CafePress and specialize in print and cards with a variety of different material, size and framing options. For photographers using Flickr, you can easily import your work to ImageKind and offer it for sale with custom framing.
Finally, the last but certainly not the least print-on-demand site. DeviantART is one of the largest art sites on the web with over 81 million submissions to date. Every member are eligible to sell their art through the site’s store mugs, mousepads, coasters, magnets, puzzles, prints and other items. Print can be offered in a variety of sizes with a handful of different frame types.
So now you have uncovered some of the best print-on-demand sites on the web, I hope you will be excited to start creating artistic products for sale. If you have any recommendations of print-on-demand sites that wasn’t listed here and you think it should, please recommend them at the comment box below. Cheers!
