Okay, let’s get to the point: Zero click marketing is here and it’s big for eCommerce businesses.
If you’re still using old school tactics to drive traffic to your site, you’re missing the bigger picture. Over 65% of searches on Google end without anyone clicking on anything.
So why does this matter? Well, Rand Fishkin, founder of SparkToro, breaks it all down perfectly in this insightful video.

Let’s face it, creators and entrepreneurs thinking of getting involved the with Print on Demand (POD) business model are spoiled for choice these days.
There are countless great platforms and vendors to choose from – and it’s no wonder. After the POD market is currently growing at a CAGR of 25.8%.
Although I’ve personally tried and tested somewhere around 100 different POD platforms in the past, companies like Printful, Bonfire, and Spreadshirt still stand out.
Printful, for me, is one of the best print-on-demand solutions all-around (alongside Printify and Gelato), based on its exceptional commitment to product quality, its wide range of integrations, and its great design tools.
However, Spreadshirt and Bonfire are amazing for specific types of sellers.
Not sure which option is best for you? Here’s my honest, hands-on comparison of all three solutions.

When I started my first print on demand business over 10 years ago I had one major problem: choosing the right printing method.
It’s a decision that affects everything from the quality of your products to how fast you can scale your business.
Two of the most popular methods right now are DTG (Direct to Garment) and DTF (Direct to Film). Both are good options but they serve very different purposes.
So, what’s the main difference between DTG (Direct-to-Garment) and DTF (Direct-to-Film) printing?
DTG prints ink directly onto fabric, creating a soft and natural finish, but it’s limited to cotton fabrics and slower for bulk orders. DTF prints designs onto a special film, which is then transferred to almost any fabric, making it more versatile and durable for scaling a POD business.

Opening a delicatessen is a chance to combine your love of fine food with a profitable business. A delicatessen or deli is all about curating high end products from fresh sandwiches to gourmet items like artisanal cheeses, charcuterie and preserves.
With the growing consumer demand for speciality and locally sourced food it’s a great business model but success requires planning, attention to detail and a commitment to giving your customers an exceptional experience.
I’ve used a lot of print on demand platforms in the past – testing them out for clients as an ecommerce consultant, writing reviews about their features, and even using them to produce custom merch. Gelato is one of my favorite options of all – for a few reasons.
Not only is it incredibly easy to use, as you’re about to see in this guide – but Gelato is great for sustainability-focused businesses, and companies that want access to premium products (at a lower price) and fast delivery speeds.
In particular, it’s the best POD vendor on the market for premium paper and art products (more on that later).
So, how do you set up your print on demand business with Gelato? I’m about to walk you through the entire process, step-by-step.

I’ve compared Bonfire and Teespring, two print-on-demand platforms for creating and selling custom merchandise. Both allow creators to design and sell without inventory but they have some differences.
Bonfire is more focused on fundraising campaigns and social causes while Teespring (now Spring) is for a wider range of sellers and products.
I found Bonfire’s interface easier to use with an emphasis on t-shirts and apparel for events or charities. Spring has more customization options and more products to sell.
Pricing is different too. Bonfire takes a percentage of sales but offers free shipping on many orders. Spring charges listing fees on some products but gives sellers more control over pricing and profit margins.
I’ll dive into that more to help you decide which one is right for you.
