It is a free program for graphic designers and digital artists to sell their designs and arts as prints on various merchandise. You create a design, upload on the platform, you sell the product.

I know that Amazon offered their own print-on-demand program and I have looked into it in the past but it is not something I went forward with.
It is a great way to be able to earn extra money for sure but the competition is going to be difficult to beat I would have thought. If you have the time and ideas I would definitely give this a try though.

I would not do this because the risks are very high now because the competition is simply incredible and as you wrote, the costs for advertising can be very high, not everyone is ready for this, so it is better to choose something else.

As I consider the many success stories of valuable business started for nearly nothing, I could make a big splash and "do it right."
