Introduction

I might sound crazy, but right now you are the luckiest person in the world. Because read this article.

Hey! My name is Salman, And today I will guide you how to start 0$ investment online business in 2025, So, I will shared all the information that is needed to know for starting this business. I will share my all experience with you in this article.

Starting a Business with Zero Investment

You can literally start a business with the steps that I will guide you with right now with zero investment. Select among 1,000 different products without limitation. Customize them for free. Create your own designs for free. create an entire store for free without subscription, without hidden fees, without research costs or even hosting fees because you’re going to create a free store with all these products without paying a penny.

The Big Advantage

And it’s getting better. After you set up the store, whenever somebody buys from you, you don’t have to own the product. Store it anywhere in your house or in your store or even ship it to the client.

Sounds Too Good to Be True?

Sounds like an insane idea, right? I mean, if somebody offered you that, you would be mad not to try that, right?

Introducing Printify Pop-Up Store

The Concept

So, today we’re going to do exactly that. Watch until the end. So, the idea I promised you is using the new feature of Printify, which is called pop-up store. And it’s exactly what I promised.

Example: My Simply Hustler Store

Is your store exactly like that one, the Simply Hustler store? As you go to this store to visit you see the cover, the products, and the photography, right? 

It’s like I hired somebody to photograph also my products, which I didn’t. Everything has been generated by the platform, right?

What If You Don’t Have an Audience?

I have an audience so I’m a different case but I tell you later in the article what you should do and how to approach that. What are the different directions you can follow if you don’t have an audience? Because there are so many other people using that, making money, and they have zero followers on social media. So, don’t use that as an excuse. I’ll guide you later how to tackle that.

Product Details & Profit

Ready-to-Buy Products

So, You make products that are ready to be bought by anybody, in different sizes, okay? 2XL and 1XL look pretty good.

Profit Margin

The price is great and for every sale that I get out of that, I get a 40% margin, right? Which is approximately 12 bucks. Not bad, right? For a product that I do not own for an online store that I don’t even pay for. So, you can also have to start from the minimum margin, not too minimum but around like 30% to 40%. 1 sale with high profit or more sales with suitable profit. Which is best?

Product Range

And I can do that with thousands of products, literally. 

Exploring the Product Catalog

Multiple Options

So, you have to make different products. Make different options of products like phone cases, shorts, hoodies, shirts, and jackets, etc.

Looks like very realistic mockups.

No Inventory Hassles

So, guess what? If I didn’t have this option, I would need to have 200, 300 different cases from all these models in my store, right? Which I don’t. I haven’t even touched this case, but I still can make money by selling that.

Apparel and Stickers

So, the store needs to look pretty cool. you’ve even got stickers and different apparel choices.

Why Printify Pop-Up Store Works

Features for Beginners

And you can do that, as I said, with a Printify pop-up store feature, which has zero fees and no subscription or listing fees. It’s great for beginners, for people that have zero experience with e-commerce or with online entrepreneurship.

Zero Upfront Cost & Speed

You have zero upfront cost. It’s very quick to set it up, and I’ll guide you exactly how to do it.

Printify Handles Everything

And Pritify handles everything, letting you focus on building the business and marketing your own brand. It’s a fair deal, right?

Personalizing Your Store

Adding Logo and Banner

And now all you have to do is select products. verify your store and customize the look and feel right so you will add the logo exactly like I did with my own store right there, as you see on the top left. So you will add an image. Let’s say that I add the logo. You can change the theme again. Let’s go with something more colorful. Seven published. You can add a banner, obviously.

Example Preview

Adding Products

Connecting Social Media & Legal Setup

And now it’s time to start adding products, right? You can even add your social media presence. You also need to select whether you’re going to be selling inside the EU or outside the EU because it’s really important for the GBSR requirements, the general product safety regulation.

Exploring the Product Catalog

You want to go after clothing, and you select so many different choices here. Women’s clothing, the same. Kids clothing, the same. You want to go after accessories? fine. You have stationery, travel accessories, and even suitcases, like bits, and umbrellas. I mean, the selection is endless.

Designing Your Products

I will make a separate article on that later; if you need this, just comment down below with Learning Design Article.

Using AI and Designers

And you can use AI to do that. Create your own designs. And in some other cases, I came up with some quotes that I hired some designers from Fiverr to create for me so I can really make some difference. So you can choose how you can approach the design part, right?

If you need my assistance in this, then just Contact us; we will make full designs for you.

Example: Creating a Product

Publishing Your Products

Product Publishing Example

The product is being published, and your store is ready. And that’s also how I’m uploading my own products.

Managing Your Store

Customizing Your Lineup

We have so many different products that we have customized with my team. Some of them are published; some of them are not. So, you can really get familiarized with a Printify lineup. Create some designs and then decide which ones you will publish in your store.

Verifying Your Store

Right now, in order to verify your store, you need to have some kind of legal entity, either a personal company or an LTD or whatever. In order to verify your store, connect your Stripe account, and enter your business or personal information, you must follow the instructions that Prettyy will provide. This process should take about five minutes.

Ready to Sell

You’re ready to sell. Your store is ready exactly like mine. So, you can really do the same in literally less than 10 minutes. It’s that simple.

What to Sell and How to Sell It

Finding the Right Idea

Now, hold for me until the next chapter because I’m about to tell you what to sell and how to sell it. Now, you have to come up with an idea to sell something like that.

Three Ways to Sell

1. Leverage an Audience

There are only three ways. The first one is like me. I have an audience. So, naturally, I have a movement, right? The simple hustle movement really represents something, right? So the natural direction for me is to transform that into something that people can hold and resonate with. Right? 

And that’s why I created the simple hustle store that says fuel your green where the mindset is right. I want to transform this feeling that people can get from me by getting some items some beautiful cups, and things that I love as well as wearing the right hoodies, t-shirts, phone cases, caps, and stickers, right? So I can really give this feeling to people.

2. Avoid the “Just Logo” Trap

Obviously I don’t just add my logo and expect people to buy it. Nobody cares about my logo, right? Unless it’s something like that being loved by millions. So you have an established brand or this one, right? Nobody’s expecting you to just add your logo and people to get crazy and buy your products because that’s what many people are doing.

3. Use Marketplaces and Trends

So you either need to have a community already and create something that gives them this feeling that they can resonate with and transform that into products or you can go to big platforms like Etsy and understand the dynamics and understand what is trending right now, right? You know what? The blanket has sold $6.5 million in sales. Just a blanket, right?

Catching Trends

Seasonal and Thematic Designs

So you either understand what kind of products are trending right now from Etsy, from Google trends, from what is being sold in the US on TikTok Shop, and you create similar products with AI or you catch thematic trends like US elections.

We have covered before; we have created some t-shirts about the shooting, about Trump versus Camila or beautiful quotes that the family can wear during Christmas or a national holiday in your market in your country.

Using AI for Creativity

So be creative about seasonal trends and catch that vibe by creating creative products with the help of Chachi Bet, which can give you some rough ideas and an AI art designer that can embody that in a beautiful design so you can launch new products.

Why Printify is a Golden Opportunity

So those are the ways to really utilize Printify and print on demand in general to build a brand and leverage this amazing opportunity of not owning anything, not paying anything and just paying whenever something is being sold. This is a golden opportunity and it’s really worth trying yourself.

Promoting Your Store

Building for the Long Term

Finally, how to promote that? The best thing to do is build on the long term, right? Which is building an audience, building a brand and starting to bring that into life through short-form videos.

Creative Content

Wear your merch, hold your products, create videos, be funny, be creative, and make collaborations with other creators with established brands.

Influencer Marketing

Hire some influencers, right? Send them your products. Be creative with them. Give them something back. Do something for them. And they will be offering some help to list your products in their videos. You will be surprised how great people can be when you give them something first and not ask them for something first.

Running Ads

And the third way is always paid ads. If you really believe in your product and you believe in catching the trend, run some ads. Focus on a demographic in the market and see what your product is worth.

If you have enough margin from Printify. Do your math and see how much money you can spend in order to still make profit passively.

Final Thoughts

Hope you enjoyed this idea. I’m looking forward to seeing your pop-up stores in the comment section because the biggest pleasure that I get from the content creation is having messages on my social media with people telling me, Costadinos, you changed the way that I see things and I started my business because of you. That’s the greatest payout for me and I never get enough. Make sure to read the next article as well for some extra inspiration and some extra ideas, and I’ll see you in the next article.
