Surface Pattern Design:
Grow Your Career with an E-Commerce Business
How to create an additional stream of income, by selling Spoonflower’s wallpaper, fabric, and home decor products through your own website or Etsy store.
In this course, I teach you the Spoonflower dropshipping business model that helped contribute to me and my partner being able to leave our full-time corporate careers to become full-time creatives.
By the end of this course, you’ll know how to get your own e-commerce business up and running quickly to start earning extra money (which can help during this time of financial uncertainty with rapidly rising inflation).
After my success, I want to share what I have learned to help you save a whole lot of time figuring it all out from scratch. I'll teach you how to sell Spoonflower products on your own chosen platform (without the hassle of packing or shipping orders) by using Spoonflower as an unofficial dropshipping partner, with minimal financial outlay or overheads... no stock to warehouse...and unlimited potential. You can be selling in a matter of hours!
Essentially, this class is for you if you're a designer who's looking for an opportunity to either diversify or supplement your income by way of a low-touch e-commerce store — without handling any products, packing, or posting any orders... allowing you the freedom to work from anywhere.
