When it comes to passive income guides, one of the most commonly recommend idea for generating additional income is to use POD websites.<\/p>\n
POD stands for\u00a0print on demand<\/strong>.\u00a0So, what are POD websites and how can they be used to generate passive income?<\/p>\n In a nutshell, a POD website is a service that handles manufacturing and order fulfillment for creators.<\/p>\n This is how POD websites work:<\/strong><\/p>\n I won't bore you on the different types of POD websites, their commission rates, or the products they offer.<\/p>\n Most POD websites are fairly similar in these aspects, and there are plenty of great guides out there that cover ways you can sell art online and make money with POD websites.<\/p>\n However, I want to take a look at\u00a0just how passive POD websites are<\/strong>.<\/p>\n I have a slight problem with bloggers recommending blogging, writing e-books, or affiliate marketing as sources of\u00a0passive\u00a0<\/strong>income.<\/p>\n All 3 methods of income generation I just mentioned require immense amounts of time, dedication, and skill. While they can certainly develop into passive streams of income, I think it's misleading to label them as being purely passive.<\/p>\n It's sort of like saying “getting a job, working 40 hours a week, and investing the money you make from each paycheck into a dividend paying mutual fund” is a great source of passive income.<\/p>\n However, I will give\u00a0POD websites some credit. They do an incredible amount of the grunt work for content creators, and I suppose they could become completely passive once an artist handled the promotional side of things.<\/p>\n In any case, let's take a look at POD websites and their earning potential!<\/p>\n After stumbling upon FiendIllustration's Instagram page, I quickly realized he had a POD-based webshop on Society6.<\/p>\n I reached out to FiendIllustration to see if he would like to share his experiences with selling artwork online and POD websites, and he thankfully agreed to answer some questions!<\/p>\n FiendIllustration specializes is lowbrow inking art and has started his own artwork business.<\/p>\n Lowbrow art contains elements of punk, humor, and sarcasm. FiendIllustration creates high quality Lowbrow prints, and also sells his artwork on Society6 where users can purchase some of his most popular designs on sweaters, t-shirts, stickers, and other items.<\/p>\n\n
