Time/week spent: 5h - 20h

For the print-on-demand merch business, the time commitment can vary depending on your activities. From my experience and online observations, the time spent per week could range from 5 to 20 hours. Initially, more time may be needed for setting up designs, researching trends, and creating product listings. As things stabilize, the time spent might decrease to managing orders, customer inquiries, and marketing efforts. It's typically a part-time endeavor, but some may treat it as a full-time gig, especially when scaling up. Most people online seem to agree that the hustle can be time-consuming but manageable with proper organization and automation tools.
