So this is gonna be a fun one on this channel.
We've looked at a lot of different
print-on-demand niches and approaches,
but there's a lot more you can do with print-on-demand
than T-shirts or hats.
I have delved into the corners of the internet
and found the most unique,
the strangest print-on-demand items.
And there's a little twist
that I'll tell you about in just a second.
And if this video gets over 10,000 likes,
then go comment a product on this list
that you want me to buy,
and I will buy whichever that one is.
So let's learn a little bit, let's have some fun.
And there are three requirements
for every product on this list.
And before I get there, if you're not familiar,
print-on-demand just means that there is a product
that you can buy that is created or manufactured
or printed if it's, say, apparel, only when it's bought.
So you're not buying a ton of inventory
like standard manufacturing or e-commerce.
Instead, when the customer actually buys it,
that's when it's created and sent to them.
So the first requirement for every product on this list
is that it is actually printable on demand.
So you don't have to buy 8,000 units up front.
You can just buy one when a customer actually buys it.
The second of three requirements
is that you have to be able to customize it.
The whole point of print-on-demand
is that you can take your vision for a product
and bring it to life without putting a lot of money,
say, down or up front for, for example, inventory.
So if you wanna start a clothing brand
and you have the idea and the logo and the name in mind,
then you can attach that to, say, for example,
your T-shirt or your joggers or your hoodie.
And then only when someone actually buys it
for a profit, for a markup,
do you then go purchase it from the manufacturer
with your logo, your design on it,
and send it to the end customer.
So for that reason, it has to be customizable.
You have to be able to make it your own in some way.
And number three, here's the twist.
It has to connect to a business idea.
So for every product on this list,
have an idea for a real business
that you could start with these very odd
or unique print-on-demand items.
Okay, so let's jump into my computer
and we'll look at product number one.
And so product number one is not just a jumpy house.
This thing is a jumpy town.
If I was eight years old again,
this would be heaven on earth.
And you have the spinny thing
that they use in game shows there.
And I mean, look at just the scale of this thing.
This is it in reference
to multiple parking lots right here.
Now this is about four grand to buy.
It looks like a sample is much more expensive.
Now you can customize this, so it is printable on demand.
And they have sold 11 of them.
So I am personally curious where these behemoths are
right now in the world.
Also, shipping is only $700,
which seems really low to me
to try and load that into a shipping container.
And so the business idea for product number one
is to sell customized inflatable castles,
as they call them, or jumpy houses to parks and or towns,
just some kind of government service
where the pitch to them is,
hey, we're gonna customize this to make it,
the name of your city, your flag, your colors,
whatever it may be, that's your culture.
And then just go stick this in a public place,
like in a park.
And people are gonna come from everywhere around
just to go see that thing
because it would be so iconic for the town.
Would that work?
I have no idea, but in theory it would,
and I would absolutely visit
if one of you went and tried that.
So please do.
Now, for everything we're looking at in this video,
you need your personality and creativeness
stamped onto these physical products.
That's the whole point of print on demand
and what makes it so special.
And that's why I wanna share Kittle with you.
Kittle is a powerful and intuitive design platform,
which empowers you as a creative in the print on demand,
apparel, e-commerce,
and all kinds of similar creative spaces.
They help you bring creative visions to life
without the steep learning curve
that is normal for more traditional design tools.
You get to use a library of customizable templates,
textures, fonts, effects, realistic mock-ups, and more,
all to create stunning print-ready designs
with tools specifically optimized
for creating marketable designs for physical products,
which again is what we're looking at in this video.
Kittle is different in that they're entirely browser-based.
Also, all of their assets come under one single subscription.
You can collaborate with your team in real time.
They have AI tools to simplify
a lot of the laborious tasks involved normally
and traditionally in that kind of work.
And there's clear licensing
so that you can take your designs
and sell them as physical or digital products without worry.
They've only been on the market for three years
and already have 7 million users worldwide,
which I think is a testament
to how new and valuable they are.

That said, go give them a go if you didn't in the last video
and let's jump into our wacky product number three.
Okay, now product number two,
this is one of my personal favorites on this list.
Is a prefab or prefabricated house.
And that just means the whole unit,
like the quote unquote house is built
and then given to you,
or it's built in a way where you can just kind of like
Lego block it together to get it set up really quickly.
And normally these things kind of look like sheds.
They don't look very nice,
but check out product number two.
This is, I'll read,
a prefab house luxury modular villa,
two bedroom prefab home.
This thing looks epic.
I mean, just the lighting and the design there is great.
And it's probably super small in person,
but for our business idea,
smaller or not too large is actually kind of good.
And same thing here, right?
Design based customization.
You could style this, add your logos,
do whatever you want to it,
which I think would be pretty epic.
And if you buy one of them, it's about 11 grand.
If you buy over 10,
that drops to eight and a half thousand dollars per,
which is a steal.
Are there quality concerns?
Of course, but to try it out,
to test it, eight grand,
not the end of the world if it goes south
compared to the opportunity here.
And that business idea for product number two
is just Airbnb.
You can't tell me that if you went to the middle of nowhere
in some forest in the US or anywhere in the world,
you got five of these things for 40 grand total,
you bought some land,
you put them down there
and you have this luxury, clamping experience,
hired a photographer,
got some great photos and stuck this on Airbnb,
that it wouldn't be two, three, 400 bucks a night
for just one of these.
You have five grand a night.
So that's $365,000 a year.
Let's say they're empty 20% of the time,
then that's 280 grand in annual revenue
off of $40,000 of these things.
Of course, there's land, there's cleaning,
there's a bunch of other fees,
but it could work.
And I may try this if one of you don't, so.
And that is product number two.
Okay, now product number three
is a floating inflatable barbecue boat
that you can see here.
So it spins around, it's somehow motor boats.
And the best part of this
is that you can have a fire on it.
You can cook a barbecue on this inflatable boat.
And how much did they cost?
500 bucks if you buy more than 20 of them.
So my business idea number three
is a luxury boating experience,
a river cruise with barbecue and s'mores.
It would be an experience like none other
and you package that up as a luxury service
and you customize these things
with a black and gold color suite.
And I think that would be a peak experience.
Just list out on Airbnb, on TripAdvisor,
on all the sites there,
and I think you're guaranteed to get bookings.
Now product number five, I actually did this one before.
It's really unique, it's really fun,
and it actually works like we had,
the person I did it for and myself,
we had great experiences
with the actual product involved here.
And it is a customized energy drink, right?
Made to order, you customize the logo
so it's your branding
and it's just someone else's beverage.
And you can see here as well, you can select the flavor.
We could go black cherry and apple.
Let's go silver, or excuse me, gold, cane sugar,
no color added.
And then we could customize
and make this a full-on energy drink,
electrolyte, whatever we want.
So I think easy opportunity here.
Go to influencers, go to gyms
and just sell them a customized drink.
Could be a novelty item, could be as an actual business.
I think a lot of people would have fun with this,
just like I did.
And I'll put a photo up on the screen now.
And there's actual money-making opportunity
because again, there is a lot of customization here.
And so say a gym, any kind of health institution
could just have their own beverage for sale
as kind of like, oh, it's our drink, it's fun.
And they're not actually bad drinks by any means.
Again, you can customize all of this,
pick the flavor, et cetera.
Okay, next one.
I don't have a business idea here,
but I did just see a wind turbine for sale
for $1,700 on Alibaba.
There's no way this thing is real
or that it actually functions,
but I guess just buy a wind farm is the business
if this thing is actually real.
And at some point, if it's 1,700 bucks,
just sell them to residential homes to go power the home.
You merge that up with like a Tesla battery pack
and you have your two, three, $4,000 full-on energy system.
That's an alternative to solar
in places where they don't have solar,
but they have a lot of wind.
I'm tempted just to order one of these
legitimately just to see if they're real.
Like I don't have space for it,
but that would be pretty epic.
That said, let's move on to the next one.
And that is print-on-demand watches.
So they're watches made to order
where you can customize the face of the watch here.
And the business idea is corporate-themed watches.
Like if you went to Google, they had an event,
and then you sold your 5,000 customized Google watches
to Google to give to people who go to the event.
There's a really massive market for kind of corporate spend,
especially on events and gifts.
And no one does watches, yet watches are something visible.
They're a nice novelty gift.
They're memorable.
So I think there's room here.
I think someone should go try and sell
some of these to corporations and report back
and let us know how it goes.
And also, I mean, the pricing here, right, 18 bucks is great.
And this stuff is all cheap,
and that doesn't necessarily mean it's quality.
And you have to test that, of course,
if you wanna actually do this.
But also the markups on just everything you see
on a day-to-day basis are insane.
Like if you go to a $500 watch on Amazon,
I could bet you money that you could go and find that
for 20 bucks in Alibaba.
And the same applies to most goods, frankly,
sold in the Western world and the US.
So just because it's $18 doesn't mean it's good quality,
but also doesn't necessarily mean
that it's a very poor quality.
Okay, next one.
This might also be my personal favorite.
You have custom-shaped pillows for $25.
You customize the pillow,
and it seems like these guys have used them for pets.
Now, my idea is less on the pet side
and more what they have right here.
So the business idea is people-shaped pillows.
I think as a novelty gift, there is a ton of room there,
and I've seen maybe a lot of cardboard cutouts.
But when's the last time you saw a person pillow?
Probably never.
And for 30 bucks, you could give that to a friend
as a gift, as a joke.
You give it to a family member.
You can make one for your favorite teacher or your boss.
That's prime entertainment at a very low cost.
And so there you go.
Custom pillows.
Okay, now I have a very specific idea for this next product.
And what that product is
is a combined backpack, pencil case, and lunch bag
that you can customize and print however you'd like.
And my idea is to go order a few of these
with Minecraft, Lego, Barbies,
whatever kids like these days.
Then go set up a table outside of a school
where the parents are picking up the kids.
And you'll have a few of these on display.
Maybe even give a few of them,
because they're not that expensive.
They're 10, 20 bucks each.
Give them to kids.
Those kids will become the coolest kids in school, right?
And then as all the parents with the kids
are walking by this table and they're seeing,
maybe they've seen a school other people with it,
or they just see what you have on display at the table,
well, the kids are gonna want them.
Some of the parents are gonna buy them.
And you sell 20, 30 of them a day like that.
Sell them for 30, 40 bucks each.
That's a grand a day.
A little more involved for sure than just selling online,
but could work for sure.
That's much more of a cash cow upfront, I think.
Okay, so now this last one is kind of interesting
as a concept.
What they are is on-demand 3D printing.
Essentially, you can 3D print anything,
and that just ties straight into your dropshipping
or your e-commerce or Shopify funnel.
I think there's a lot of potential there.
The question is, how do you wanna frame that?
And I think there's a lot of ways to frame it,
whether it's gifts, whether it's very useful parts.
So I'm gonna leave that business idea up to you.
And the product, the print-on-demand service
is 3D printing, again, of pretty much anything.
And so that is 10 products and ideas that we looked at now.
And if you take the print-on-demand model
and you apply it to those products,
which I encourage you to do,
then you can unleash your creativity for those designs
or designs for other products,
like we talked about earlier with Kittle.
Use that code J-O-N-Y-T for 25% off all paid plans.
So both pro and expert by clicking that link
in the description and applying the code at checkout.
That said, that's the video,
and I'll see you in the next one.
Cheers.
