Instagram makes it look so easy to sell your artwork, doesn’t it? Just upload your design to Spoonflower or your own print-on-demand shop, and BOOM — money made. 💸
…Except P.O.D. doesn’t work that way. Yes, it’s easy to get started, and it can be easy to make money with your art. But you need to know the tricks of the trade first. Otherwise, you’ll end up like most beginner surface designers: confused, frustrated, and ready to give up before you’ve even given yourself the chance to succeed.
Here’s the good news: I know how to help you sell your artwork while you sleep. And so do my three ultra-talented designer friends.

"Mable’s P.O.D. masterclass is one of the best classes I’ve taken! It’s so full of great information, tips and tricks and the speakers were amazing. It really helped me think about the direction I want to take my own shops in and I feel confident that I now have the knowledge that I can grow and succeed in my endeavors."

“The P.O.D. Masterclass propelled me into the right direction as I was just starting my print on demand journey especially with fabrics. It also gave me different approaches to go about the passive income route. It’s loaded with valuable information and resources for designers.”
Over the past decade, I have built an increasingly successful art business while also caring for my family as a stay-at-home mom. I’ve had the privilege of having my pattern designs featured on products from top brands like Target Australia, RICE, Urban Outfitters, and more. The journey hasn’t been easy, but it’s been the most rewarding time of my life.
I want to help you pursue your own passion for art. I want you to experience the joy of seeing your design creations IRL. I want you to start making money while you sleep — without making the mistakes I did when first starting out as a surface designer. Sound like a plan?! 💖

@herandhue
Oh, I hear you on that one. Selling on Spoonflower is harder than it seems, especially when your commission is as low as 10 percent. But you can make a nice profit on Spoonflower, and you can make an even nicer one (think full-time income!) with your own POD shop. 🙌 This masterclass will show you how.
“I’ve already tried P.O.D. and it hasn’t worked out…”
YES! Print-on-demand is how many successful designers (including me) first started making a profit with their art. You can have full creative control, build a community, and make money while you sleep — all without having to deal with inventory or shipping. We’ll walk you through it step by step.
“Can I actually make money doing this?”
Let me squash that thought right there! 🙅♀️ If you have a dream to create, you ARE an artist. It took me years to realize this myself… but now that I’ve embraced my true identity as an artist, I’ve never been happier. Let me show you how to embrace YOUR true identity and become the artist you were born to be.
“I’m not really an artist.”
