In this Wednesday Grind episode, I’m all about working smarter, not harder—especially for Father’s Day. I’m joined by Chris and Anna from Anywhere POD, and we talk about what POD actually is (print on demand = no inventory, you test products for basically 20 cents a listing) and why automation is the real game-changer if you’re trying to hit your first 100+ sales and beyond. We also dig into why Father’s Day is way more profitable than people think: it’s not just a seasonal spike, it’s evergreen for birthdays and Christmas, and “gifts for him” is honestly underserved on Etsy. The big reveal is a low-competition product most sellers aren’t even offering yet: a personalized platter from Deco Plate (available through Anywhere POD). It’s high-quality, made and decorated in the USA, has strong profit margins, and it solves real POD headaches like breakage (hello, mug trauma) and apparel sizing issues. Then we get into the Anywhere POD workflow—especially the one-click Canva integration that pulls your design in as editable layers, so personalization doesn’t turn into a 14-hour-a-day nightmare. If you’ve ever felt bottlenecked by uploads, mockups, and manual order work, this is the “new way” I want you to see.
