Printable Profits Review – Make Money Making Statement Mugs?

Printable Profits is a training program on how to start your print-on-demand business. The course was designed by Dave Kettner. 

Print-on-demand is a legitimate business model, and has been around for more than a decade. It was a huge hit back then, so much so that there were even dedicated platforms made to accommodate this business model. 

Dave Kettner has been in the e-commerce industry since 2013 and started out with private label on Amazon. He claims to be making 6 figures per month on Amazon, but it’s kind of difficult to verify this claim so we’ll just take it with a grain of salt. We’re not saying that he’s a scammer either. 

For a business model that’s outdated and out of its niche, I find it hard to believe that he is making 6-figures on print-on-demand alone.

Printable Profits is a print-on-demand course and it will show you everything there is to know about how to start the business. 

Here’s how the business works in a nutshell according to Printable Profits’s modules: 

1. The goal is to sell custom mugs. You know those mugs with statements on them. Those are always popular to the masses. 
2. You sign up for a platform that makes these mugs and start marketing them. 
3. You buy them for $10, and sell them for $20. Don’t worry about inventory because everything is handled by the platform. You just drive the sales to your store.

You make about $10 per mug sold, and this program claims that you’re going to be making thousands of sales per year, so that’s about $10,000 a year on mugs. 

Printable Profits comes with 8 modules and a lot of bonuses, so here’s what you can expect from this course: 

Module 1 - Discovering Designs That Sell

The first module will discuss about creating products that other people want to buy. You don’t need to be a design expert to understand this module because you’re not making products from your imagination. 

Instead, you’re just going to look at what people want in terms of design, and create from there. 

Module 2 - Creating Your Own Design

This is a module that will talk about how to make your own design. It comes with a bunch of templates in case you don’t know where to start, or if you don’t have fresh ideas on your own. 

Module 3 - Creating Products For Dropshipping

This module talks about creating multiple products for your store so your customers will have options and choose what they want best. This is also the start of the dropshipping aspect of the business.  

Module 4 - Creating Products For Sale On Etsy

Usually, Shopify would be your go-to store for dropshipping. But because this is print-on-demand, you’re going to learn about how to work Etsy, the platform that allows people to put their creative masterpieces on display and sell them. 

Think of it as the eBay of art and print. 

Module 5 - Etsy Optimization And Growth

Printable Profits’s 5th module follows up on the previous one, which will teach you about how to scale your Etsy store and how to grow the platform. 

Module 6 - Expanding To Other Marketplaces

Etsy won’t be your only platform to sell your products. This module will go over the different marketplaces where you can sell your custom prints. 

Module 7 - Expanding To Amazon Private Label

Amazon is the last platform you’ll be learning about, and yes, you will be selling your custom prints there. This module will show you and teach you how to do that. 

Module 8 - Taking Your Business To The Next Level

This is the last module of the course. This will go over the various strategies on how to scale your business so you can make a lot of money as soon as possible. 

Bonuses

You also get the following bonuses when you sign up for this course. 

• 8 week millionaire execution incubator
• 1 day live workshop: multiple streams of e-com income
• Million dollar POD case study
• Beyond mugs: top 25 POD products
• eScape book + eScape masterclass
• 1 month of VA services
• Unlimited design studio

You also get access to a private Facebook group where you can interact with other students of the course and with Dave. 

How Much Does Printable Profits Cost?

The program costs $997, which is a one-time fee. There’s no mention of a refund policy anywhere on their site, nor are there any mentions of flexible payment options.

Printable Profits is meant for people who: 

• Are planning to increase their already existing business’ income potential
• Are planning to sell merchandise for their established brand

#1 Too Expensive

For something so niche about e-commerce, we feel that $997 might be a little bit too much. Print-on-demand is a good business model, but learning about how the business works shouldn’t be that expensive. 

If you want to make money online, we suggest looking at the affiliate marketing business model instead. Wealthy Affiliate can help you get started. 

#2 No Longer A Lucrative Business Model

Print on demand is no longer lucrative as it was back in the days. It’s a competitive market with a lot of people venturing into the business. 

The most common people you’d see on these platforms are those who’re already trying to expand their brands. For example, you have streamers who sell shirts and jackets to their viewers.

#3 No Refund?

We couldn’t find any refund policy on their landing page. Further third-party research did not reveal any existing or previous refund policies as well.

The absence of a refund policy just doesn’t make it worth investing your money into this course.

#1 Decent Training

Even if you’re paying $997, the modules are good enough to get you started on print on demand. Granted, it’s not something that I’d recommend to people wanting to get started with making money online.

Printable Profits is as good as it can get, but it’s definitely something I would not recommend investing money into if you’re just getting started with e-commerce, dropshipping, or affiliate marketing. 

The course would probably do wonders for people with an already established business who want to expand their brands, but that’s about it. 

Dave might have been successful with print on demand when it was popular and he’s now just riding the trend of his credibility in this field. But for someone who’s just starting out, you’re competing against the established stores in Etsy and other platforms.
