Is it still profitable to start a dropshipping print-on-demand business selling t-shirts and other shit?

I was thinking of selling political merch. Anybody got experience with this?

I'm starting medical residency next year and wanted to create a source of passive income for when I'll be busy working for below minimum wage.

Sure, the world needs another company that does this simple process. I'm sure you have some innovation that the 10,000 other companies haven't thought of already.

Bong here.
If you're American, I'll give you the cheat codes.
Make sure all of your packets are marked as sub £15 with the postage; I.e. £14.75.

Once they exceed £15, they're stopped and tax is applied, which delays them. The general packet handler in the UK is parcel force, who then adds a surcharge of ?£7? minimum for "helping you pay the tax"; you still have to also pay the tax. Which is how a t-shirt ends up costing $39 by the time it gets to the customer.

The chey'nese are very well aware of that and it's part of the reason why they've spent the last two decades shipping cheaper items, because they rocket through and we're tax exempt due to the marked value.

As the smartest man alive (Donald Trump) said....
>chey'na.... they're very smart
Indeed. Indeed.

It completely depends on your designs. If they're funny, memorable, interesting, etc. and you advertise them in the right channels, then yes, of course you can still make money selling clothes.

Clothing is a $1.4 trillion industry globally. It generates perennial, predictable demand, and it's not going away in our lifetime.

Political merch is a decent choice, but it changes fast. If you already follow politics constantly, and are good with memes, and good with graphic design, then you may have something.

The nice part about print-on-demand is that you can try out lots of different designs, iterate on those that work, and delete those that don't.
