Maker Introduction & Reason for Wadiz Funding

Hello. We are a team that has participated in the global POD market from its early stages as Shopify partners. Based on over 10 years of accumulated experience, we have built actual online product creation and sales structures.

With the advancement of AI technology, anyone can now create online products. Especially by utilizing the POD (Print On Demand) system, products can be made and sold without inventory.

Currently, in the global e-commerce market, the POD model, where production and delivery are automated as long as you have a design, is rapidly spreading, with Etsy at its center.

While POD has already established itself as a "representative online side business model" overseas, the Korean market is still in its early stages, lacking information and practical guides. In fact, the proportion of Korean sellers is very low, making now a favorable time to enter.

Shopify is connected to dozens of global POD services such as Printify, Printful, and Gelato, and there are hundreds of related apps. However, the more options there are, the higher the entry barrier for beginners.

Therefore, from a beginner's perspective, we considered, "What is the easiest, fastest, and lowest-risk structure to get started?" As an answer, we designed the 'AI POD 3-Axis Business Structure' that even beginners can implement right away.

With this single e-book, you can understand the core structure of the global POD system and proceed to actual implementation. What once required multiple courses and experience has now become much simpler with AI.

『1 Hour AI POD Side Business After Work』 is not just about delivering information, but is a practical guide to building a real profit structure. The purpose of this project is not simply to sell an e-book, but to introduce a new online side business model combining AI and POD to the Korean market.

That is why we are launching this project first on Wadiz, a platform that supports ideas and possibilities. Through this funding, we hope more people will experience the opportunities of AI-based POD business.

FAQ

Q1. Who is this guide suitable for?

 It is especially well-suited for the following people.

A.✔ Those looking for a side job as an office worker.
✔  Those planning to start a one-person business.
✔ Those who want to generate 'passive income' from overseas.

Q2. When can I start actual sales?

A.Once you complete the initial setup by following the guide, you can usually register your first product within 1 to 2 weeks.Although it varies by individual, if you follow step by step for "one hour after work," you will be able to proceed smoothly.
You can reach your first product faster than you think.

Q3. Is it possible for complete beginners with no sense of design?

A.Yes, it is possible. This guide does not teach you 'how to draw yourself,' but rather 'how to instruct AI' to do it for you.

• Even if you simply copy and paste the prompt examples (prompt library) included in the e-book,

• AI will create a design draft for you,

• The system takes care of production and shipping.

AI handles the design, and the platform takes care of production and delivery. You only need to focus on deciding 'what to choose.'

Q4. How much initial capital is required?

A. One of the biggest advantages of AI-POD (Print on Demand) is the 'sell first, produce later' structure.

• When an order is placed on Etsy,

• Printify will then handle production and shipping.

Therefore:

• There is no need to purchase inventory in advance, so inventory costs are close to zero,

• Platform registration is basically free,

• You only need to settle the production cost after an actual sale occurs.

In other words, you can start without inventory risk, making it a side business model with very low initial risk.

Q5. Is it possible to sell overseas (Etsy) even if I am not good at English?

A. It is possible.

Thanks to recent AI translation technology:

• Writing product descriptions

• Basic customer service

can now be handled much more easily than before. While the language barrier may be a concern,
there is no need to give up global dollar-earning opportunities for that reason alone. The e-book also provides guidance on how to actually use translation tools.

Q6. I am an office worker. Won't my company find out about my side business?

A. This guide focuses on building a personal business.

In general, if your annual non-salary income is below a certain amount (e.g., about 20 million KRW),
there are many cases where the company is not separately notified.

However,

• company regulations

• personal circumstances

• income scale

may affect this, so the e-book also provides basic tax management tips and precautions.

Q7. How much time should I invest per day?

A. During the initial system setup phase, we recommend dedicating about one hour of focused effort per day.

• When setting up your account, registering your first product, and establishing the basic operational structure, it is important to consistently secure even a short amount of time.

Once the system is somewhat established,

• We suggest investing 1–2 hours on the weekend to schedule a week's worth of products in advance,

• And then operating in a 'semi-automated profit' structure by only checking order processing status on weekdays.

Q8. What do I need to prepare?

A.A single laptop (or PC) with internet access is sufficient.

• Expensive equipment or specialized programs are not required.

• If you are hesitant to pay for paid tools, we recommend first using the free trial plans introduced in the e-book to earn your initial profits, and then expanding from there.

Q9. I am already running a POD business. Will this be helpful?

A.Yes, it can be helpful.

This guide includes not only basic content for beginners,

• Niche keyword organization,

• A collection of AI design prompts,

• Product registration and composition strategies,

And more.

Therefore, even sellers who are already operating POD can use it as a supplementary or expansion strategy for expanding into new categories or experimenting with AI-based design and marketing.
