Upload designs to platforms that print and ship T-shirts, mugs and posters when someone orders.
Who it suits
Designers who want a low-risk side project and accept slow, small earnings.
Who pays
International shoppers.
What they get
Niche, personalised merchandise.
Is there demand?
Redbubble and similar platforms accept international artists; earnings are typically small and printing happens overseas, so SA buyers are poorly served.
