My Top 5 Print on Demand Platforms for 2025

About this video

RJ Martinez, who introduces himself as a print-on-demand seller with over eight years of experience and claims over $500,000 in royalties, ranks his top five print-on-demand platforms. Number one is Amazon Merch on Demand: huge built-in Amazon traffic, Prime shipping and seller-set royalties, but invite-only with heavy competition and copycats; he calls it his number one income source. Redbubble is artist-friendly with strong Google SEO and a massive product catalog, ideal for niche long-tail designs, though uploads are slow and copycats exist. TeePublic, owned by Redbubble, offers the fastest uploading, fixed pricing and sitewide promos, but royalties can dip to just $2 during promotions. Zazzle shines for weddings, birthdays and personalized gifts — mugs, invitations, business cards customers can customize — but setup takes time and pricing needs experimenting. Spreadshirt, the overlooked fifth pick, offers international reach into Europe and beyond with almost no maintenance. His advice: beginners start with TeePublic and Redbubble, intermediates add Zazzle, and advanced sellers focus on Merch by Amazon and Spreadshirt; start with two or three platforms that fit your goals, and remember research and simple text-based designs sell.

Key takeaways

• Amazon Merch on Demand is his #1 income source — built-in traffic and Prime shipping, but invite-only with heavy copycat competition
• Redbubble rewards keyword-driven, niche long-tail designs with strong Google SEO, despite slow uploads
• TeePublic has the fastest uploads and fixed pricing, but promo royalties can drop to $2
• Zazzle fits weddings, birthdays and customizable gifts; Spreadshirt offers passive international reach with little maintenance
• Start with 2–3 platforms matched to your level and goals rather than all five, and prioritize research — simple text-based designs sell
