BRAND NEW, circa 1997. Print on demand.

[GordonJ]

Let's see, what goes around comes around?

I've been talking about Print On Demand since day one of SowPub, now 23 years later...I'm still talking about it.

I often point out Solar Vision on eBay with his wild collection of POD products, and I have given him (assumption) money to get mine.

Now, NEW. https://www.libertybooklets.com/index.php/products

A very '97 feel to the site, but it is brand new, and although the folks offering these booklets do have an advantage of owning a printing business... any of their "mail order" offers can be a print on demand, and just like Solar Vision, one could set up a store on a big traffic platform.

A few of you might remember my original Chattel Report, which was spiral bound, a printed on demand product and it gave me a fast start to my Internet Marketing 'career' as did the SCI product I developed, THE PROFESSIONAL REMOTE DIRECT MARKETING HOME STUDY COURSE.

It was a huge contrast, and a LESSON for me, selling the home study course, with 12 VHS videos, and tons of paper, big postage...a real big package vs. an envelope stuffed with a spiral bound report, some pens and markers.

So, I started off online with two different products, one a high ticket, which was sold as an affiliate (me being the only one) and my own thing printed and assembled as orders came in.

Even today, I was playing around with my POCKET PRO series, seeing what a real POD product might be like, just figuring out if it can be done with very little slop and mess.

Anyhow, as we gallop toward the AI ruled Internet, don't forget there are still some folks who like to hold products/information (education/entertainment) in their hands and PRINT ON DEMAND might be a fun hobby which brings in some FUN moolah too.

Love the first of the month, have so many NEWSletters, and things to go through...next up, my retail monthly, if any thing catches my eye, I'll let you know.
