Four Print on demand

Print on demand sites as a great tool for people who want to own their own business and earn money even when they sleep or are on holiday without having to do any handling or shipping of the products.

There are many websites for print on demand wand I’ll talk over a few with the last bit of this blog post about my favourite print on demand website.

Printful: Printful is one of the best print on demand companies, offering a wide range of products to customize and features to help you get started that range from product and t-shirt mockup generators to services like logo design. Whether you want to sell apparel, prints, home decor, or accessories, you can find what you’re looking for in Printful’s catalog.
For an additional cost, you can also add your own branding to your products and packaging, including inside labels and packaging inserts to help encourage repeat business or promote another product line. Printful also offers services from graphic design to marketing videos, as well as bulk discounts of up to 30%.
Printify is notable in that it gives you access to a large network of printing partners distributed around the world. This not only means a larger variety of products to choose from, it also lets you select your printer based on the country you want to sell in for faster and more cost-effective shipping.

Altogether, Printify offers some of the best margins and the largest selection of products available. The inherent trade-off is that the quality of the products and the printer’s service can vary based on who you work with. Also, choosing to work with multiple vendors that will require further setup.

Apliiq: If you want to start a clothing line that puts design and quality above all else, there are few better options than Apliiq. Based in downtown LA, it’s the best print on demand clothing provider, offering a wide range of customization options that let you create your own retail-quality private label apparel products.
With better wholesale discounts than most print-on-demand providers (starting at 20% off for a bulk order of 10), Apliiq is a great partner for anyone who wants to start a fashion brand and sell through a mix of online and offline retail channels.

For $100 a year, you can upgrade to a plan that includes 100 custom woven labels that will be sewn onto your products. Instead of offering a discount on samples, like most companies, you pay a markup for quality assurance, wherein an in-house production artist will review your product and make minor tweaks to your design. That way, when you’re ready to dropship or buy in bulk, you can be confident that customers will receive the best version of your product.

Teelaunch : Teelaunch is another solid and versatile print on demand partner. What stands out the most is the quality of the mockups it generates for you—it gives you professional-looking product images to use in marketing materials and even lifestyle photos for some of its items.
With a competitively priced catalog of quality products (including rather unique items like Bluetooth speakers), reasonable fulfillment times, and a responsive customer support team, Teelaunch has all the ingredients to help you build a print-on-demand business.

My all time favourite though is

Redbubble: Redbubble is a leading Print-On-Demand (POD) online marketplace.
Redbubble’s products come from the thousands of independent designers and artists who upload their artwork onto the site.
When a customer makes a purchase, Redbubble will print the artwork onto the product and ship it to the customer (on demand).
The designer will receive a royalty*, usually between 10%-30% of the purchase price (designers have a degree of control over their royalty margins). Selling on Redbubble is completely free and open to anyone. Redbubble artists and designers pay nothing to open an account, upload work, or receive a royalty payment.
When your royalty account reaches $20, Redbubble will send your money to you via Paypal, or directly into your bank account. (paid monthly).

I personally have a Redbubble store and love it, best out of the bunch that I’ve tried if you want to check out my Redbubble store then here is the link https://www.redbubble.com/people/beautyqueen145/shop?utm_source=rb-native-app&utm_campaign=share-artist&utm_medium=ios

Moving to a new country | with kids

Moving to a new country can be exciting but nerve wracking add in children and it can feel overwhelming to say the least, today I want to share all the advice and tips I have to move overseas after having just made an overseas move for myself with my two young daughters. Mid January I moved from New Zealand back to Australia, some of you may know that I was actually born in Australia and lived over here until 2011 so for me this was about returning home but for my kids it was moving countries for the first time and while my youngest had no idea what was going on as she was only 3 months old my eldest had a range of emotions and it was honestly quite tough on her at times. My first bit of advice is to just talk about the move, explain why you’re moving and what to expect in an age-appropriate way so that they can better understand what is going on, talk about all the positives with the move that would interest them from new experiences to making new friend...

Tips for decluttering

Decluttering can help create a more organized and stress-free living space or even just make it easier when it comes time to move. With my recent move I spent a few months slowly decluttering and downsizing my belongings to make the final step of selling what wasn’t coming and packing what was easier and I thought I would share some of the tips that helped me as an ADHD solo mum of two declutter my house after holding on and hoarding a lot of belongings from throughout the years. 1. Start small Choose a small area to start, like a drawer or a shelf, to avoid feeling overwhelmed. Work for a set amount of time, such as 15 or 30 minutes, to maintain focus and avoid burnout. 2. Sort items Label four boxes as "Keep," "Donate," "Sell," and "Trash." Sort all the items into these categories as you go, this also keeps things clean when you do decide to stop for the day. Remember to handle each item. 3. Evaluate necessity Ask yourself questions like: ...
