Send us Fan MailHow Long is it Going to Take to Build My Print on Demand Business?Welcome to our last episode of season two of Lissa Talks Print on Demand! Today, we are talking about a super important + weirdly uplifting (lol) topic: How long will building this business take? Here's a few things we'll chat about!Everything Takes TimeNot Every Business is the SameThere is Value in Every Creative VenturesOne Idea Leads to Many OthersSuccess isn't Just About NumbersWant to know this episode in a quick summary? You know I've always got you!Real Talk: Running an online shop is not a set it and forget it business model. Though parts of it can be self sustaining - ie your products can sync automatically with your print partner or organic SEO can benefit a shop more + more over time - it’s important to keep your shop current and active, no matter where you are selling.Know that, if there was a tried and true way to make a lot of money, a lot of people would do that task. There are people who do start print on demand businesses and hit the ground running. There are authors that write one book and can live off it the rest of their loves. There are, I assume, musicians from the 1900s who are able to live off one hit wonders. Most people do not have this experience. I don’t meant this in a negative way - I mean it in that, if your growth is slow, that is totally normal. Your business - whether it’s a side business or full-time business - is going to evolve and change over time and that includes growth. That’s amazing!--------SEASON TWO OF LISSA TALKS POD WILL HAVE 15 EPISODES!*Marked explicit for accidental swears.Mockup Photos | Your Photographer Mom Podcast | Photography Website | InstagramAnd best of all?
