    So in order to become recognized as a face of POD you sell a couple grand worth of products, then make the rest of your money from YouTube or selling courses? Is the end result selling the info you know? Because that’s what they all had in common.

    No matter how you try to inspire people to think outside the box and to be great in creating success for themselves, some people will always find and says some negative words. Keep your closed-minded to yourself. This Printify site helps in many ways which I really appreciated for coming up with lots of good things. 5 stars Printify.
