Summary

In the digital age, physical products are being sold with unprecedented ease thanks to internet-connected print shops that have removed obstacles such as sourcing, ordering, and stocking products. This democratization of physical merchandise has flooded online marketplaces like Etsy and Amazon with a vast number of "ghost products" from aspiring designer-entrepreneurs. The ability to sell customized merchandise on an as-needed basis has opened up new possibilities, but it can be time-consuming for sellers to handle individual orders manually. One creator, Jeffrey Sun, overcame this challenge by using print-on-demand services and automating workflows with tools like Shopify, Printful, a dynamic image endpoint, and Zapier, which simplified the process of getting an eCommerce business running and removed manual labor from order fulfillment, allowing him to scale his business beyond his personal ability.
