Welcome back to the PODCast!So which platform should you be focusing on for your print-on-demand business?

In the massive pros and cons list for each platform, Travis outlines the differences in these two behemoths and why one or the other might be your best option.For example, Etsy boasts built-in traffic and low upfront costs, making it a beginner-friendly platform.
