Here is a POD (Print on Demand) platform built for designers like you, where your creativity translates to products and smart earnings. Here at Kiniso, we understand the dedication and artistry you put into every project and every design. That’s why we’ve developed a system that ensures you get a fair and rewarding commission for your hard work, especially when it comes to print-on-demand t-shirts.

We believe that instead of a fixed amount rate, Kiniso’s “Smart Commission” system could offer a more dynamic model. This might involve commissions that adjust based on factors like the designer’s reputation, the popularity of the design, the volume of sales, or even the type of product. This transparency and potential for higher earnings based on performance could be a significant draw for talented designers.

While it is not a typical wide-POD platform that hosts a range of markets, a platform that focuses specifically on design freelancing and t-shirts — as Kiniso does — could mean a more connected and supportive community could develop. This attention may result in platform features, market spending, or education being directed at the specific requirements and interests of these creative individuals.

Kiniso might uniquely blend POD with direct freelancing opportunities. Designers could not only earn from their t-shirt designs but also connect with clients for custom design projects through the same platform. This synergy could create a more holistic ecosystem for designers to showcase their skills and generate income in multiple ways.

Recognizing the importance of intellectual property for designers, Kiniso could differentiate itself by offering robust design protection features. This might include advanced watermarking, clear terms of service regarding design ownership, and proactive measures to prevent unauthorized use. Such features would build trust and incentivize designers to share their valuable work on the platform.
