Mr. Rivera shared some details about his business. He revealed that around 30%-50% of each sale is profit. Additionally, he mentioned that $55,000 in fees went to Etsy last year, along with the money he spends on marketing and Printify’s services. He also mentioned that he dedicates the rest of his time to focusing on his music career.

When asked about the replicability of his business model, Mr. Rivera expressed confidence, stating that it is indeed replicable. He highlighted the low-risk nature of the print-on-demand model, citing the minimal cost of $0.20 to list something on Etsy. He also noted that many people he knows are interested in this business but find it challenging to start. He emphasized the importance of consistent effort, suggesting that individuals with a 9-to-5 job already possess the necessary work ethic to pursue an alternative venture.

Mr. Rivera explained that he chose to sell candles because it was a newer category in the print-on-demand market. He perceived more opportunity in this area, which influenced his decision to enter the candle business.
