Why I Quit Selling T-Shirts on Etsy (And What I Sell Instead)

Описание: Selling print-on-demand t-shirts on Etsy but not seeing the sales you expected? Same. Quitting apparel was the best decision I made—and I wish I’d done it sooner.

In this video, I’m breaking down why I pivoted away from t-shirts, what I sell instead, and the exact products I recommend to help you stand out and make more consistent sales with Etsy print-on-demand. Spoiler: these are real products I still sell in my shop today—no gatekeeping here.

If you're feeling stuck with apparel or just getting started and want a smarter strategy, this one’s for you.
