I jumped into print-on-demand last year thinking it’d be this sweet, hands-off side gig upload a few designs, let the sales roll in, and focus on my main work. Turns out, it’s anything but passive! Between tweaking designs, researching trends, handling customer complaints about shipping delays, and constantly updating listings, it’s basically a part-time job.
Has anyone else been burned by a side hustle that promised easy money but ended up eating way more time than expected? Curious if there’s a legit “set it and forget it” option out there, or if it’s all just a myth. Would love to hear your experiences!
