I Tried Selling Shirts on Etsy for One Year (Print on Demand Realistic Results)

Try Printify Here: https://try.printify.com/jai If you’ve been thinking about selling on Etsy with a print on demand shop, this is the kind of video I wish I had when I was starting. In this video, I share my full 1-year journey selling POD shirts on Etsy, including my real numbers, revenue, profit estimates, mistakes, and what actually worked. From getting my first sale, testing Etsy ads, building SEO with consistent listings, to scaling during Q4, this is a realistic breakdown of what it takes to grow a POD Etsy shop in 2025. I also talk about whether print on demand is truly passive income (spoiler: not really), and how much effort it actually takes to see results. If you’re a beginner or already selling on Etsy, I break down key lessons like how to choose a profitable niche, premade vs personalized designs, how to stand out in a saturated market, and why most people fail with Etsy ads. Whether you’re into Etsy digital products, printify integration, or building a side hustle online, this video will give you a clear, honest perspective so you can avoid common mistakes and grow faster.
