How important is print-on-demand for an art business?

Print-on-demand is the single greatest thing that’s happened to creatives in the last 25 years. It has no minimums, so you can instantly go from having 7 images to offering 1,500+ products in your store. You don’t inventory anything—when an order comes in, you get paid, the printer gets paid, the order ships, and you don’t lift a finger. Every artist should take advantage of POD. It’s a massive needle-mover because it expands what you can offer without additional work, allowing you to get back to the only things that matter: creating and marketing.
