Cassiy Johnson’s story defies the norm. After her furlough in 2020, she turned to print-on-demand, a field she discovered through a YouTube video. Using her phone, she designed T-shirts and sold them on Etsy, tapping into a market that demands creativity but not a college degree.
Print-on-demand revolves around designing products and partnering with manufacturers for production and shipping. This side venture grew into Cassiy’s primary income source, branching out into another Etsy store and a YouTube channel where she teaches her craft.
The numbers are staggering. Her main store made over $766,000 in two years, with a single month hitting the $100,900 mark. Even after hitting some rough patches, Cassiy’s entrepreneurial spirit is alive and kicking with her new venture.
