Über diesen Kurs
Ready to turn your creativity into an online business — without worrying about inventory, shipping, or huge upfront costs?
In this beginner-friendly class, you’ll learn exactly how to launch your first Print on Demand (POD) product and open your own online shop, even if you’re starting from scratch.
We'll walk through the entire process together — from choosing simple, profitable products to designing easy-to-sell items (no fancy design skills needed), picking the right platform, creating listings that actually convert, and getting your first product live and ready for real customers.
You’ll discover:
-
How Print on Demand works (and why it’s perfect for beginners)
-
The best products to start with (mugs, T-shirts, tote bags, and more)
-
How to create high-quality, sellable designs using free tools like Canva
-
Which platforms to sell on (marketplace vs. your own shop)
-
How to write listings, choose mockups, and price your products for profit
-
Easy marketing tips to start getting your first sales without feeling spammy
By the end of this class, you’ll have a real product live on Etsy, Redbubble, or another POD platform — and the confidence to grow your shop over time.
Who is this class for?
-
Beginners who want to start an online business with minimal risk
-
Creatives, artists, writers, and side hustlers looking to sell their ideas
-
Anyone curious about passive income or launching a small ecommerce store
-
People who want a hands-off way to sell without dealing with inventory or shipping
You don’t need any design experience, special equipment, or marketing background — just an idea and the willingness to learn.

-
Optional: Create 2–3 variations (different colours, fonts) if you want

OR set up your own store (Etsy with Printify or Printful)
