Why POD?

What’s the real draw to POD: low cost entry, it’s less involvement than hand-to-hand merchandising, or some other reason?

Virgil once said to a creator “your brand can exist in your apartment but” and that sounded like me to me: designing tees and then trying to spark interest.

I don’t think that’s where my “thing” exists and POD may not be for me, at least right now.

Thoughts?
