E210: The Silent Killer of POD Business Success

Print On Demand Cast: Print On Demand Tips and eCommerce Strategies for Selling POD on Etsy, Amazon, and More!

Welcome back to the PODCast!
Ever felt your print on demand business losing steam? This episode promises to reignite that spark as Travis uncovers the silent killer behind many entrepreneurs' stagnation and shows you how to combat it. After sharing some personal updates about his band's recent gigs and celebrating his son's birthday at a Rockies game, he dives into the heart of maintaining motivation through effective calendar management and strategic planning. Proper planning isn't just a buzzword—it's the lifeline to keeping your business thriving and your interest in it alive.
Struggling with organization? You're not alone. In the Main Event, Travis tackles the chaos head-on by discussing the crucial role of a well-organized system in managing SKUs and scheduling tasks. He shares some of what he talked about in Episode 205 and feeling overwhelmed by all the minute details of what needs done day to day. In fact, he asked a friend's to help and her organizational skills helped set him on a track to be more efficient and get important tasks done. By categorizing tasks and structuring his calendar, he discovered hidden pockets of time and greatly enhanced his efficiency, overcoming common obstacles like imposter syndrome and various distractions.
Moving on, Travis discusses the Print On Demand Success Pyramid that he originally spoke about in Episode 177. Organization is the foundation for the rest of the pyramid, with designs, on-page SEO, mockups, and software tools building upon it. In the end, many POD sellers turn the pyramid upside down which is why many burn out and don't see the success they dream of at the beginning.
Finally, Travis officially announces the dates and times for the POD Foundations Challenge, a three-day event designed to help you organize your business operations for better growth. Sign up today and your business will thank you!
