Story: Print after order
As a designer, preparing a printing design file is not an issue. I generally like fashion. I enjoyed it when I was in Tokyo, Japan. I just have not had enough passion to create clothing.
The reason why against clothing eCommerce
– Size
– Color
– Trend
– Seasonal
– Necessity

I think that we don’t need clothing anymore. We have enough clothing. No one walks naked on the street. I am sure that you can find clothing which you don’t wear often in the room. I have it sadly.
I have to develop an eCommerce website in 2022. I searched product-based dropshipping before. Why not consider an Ecommerce website of print on demand? I will create the concept, but I don’t have to create a design for it. UpWork or Fiverr will take care of it.

Conclusion: Thinking as a designer
I am not an artist. I am a web/graphic designer. I need to develop a product(trading is an alternative idea though). POD is a good opportunity for all design-related workers.
I had a couple of T-shirts project for the clients before. Basically, all designers can make a printing file. All designers would have some kind of sense of design. I should be able to develop a POD e-commerce website. Let’s side hustle.
