If you're a graphic designer looking to monetize your talent, a print on demand business is likely your best bet. A lot of new entrepreneurs, falsely believe that all they need to do is use a cool font and put a funny slogan on a print on demand t-shirt for it to sell. The biggest challenge for most new store owners is design. Sometimes it's their store design that could use an improvement but with print on demand it's almost always the product design. If you're an inexperienced graphic designer, your designs can look cheesy. Mine included. I thought, ‘hey, I got a 95% in a graphic design class I took for fun. I can do this.' My designs were bad. Real bad. Your customers can spot a real graphic designer's work versus an amateur's. If you have skill and a strong understanding of what your customer wants, you'll do well. But if you don't, your sales performance will be low. There's no guarantee that your design will be profitable and resonate with your audience.
