A gentle nag from Tom & Max at PrintShrimp
Profit, not revenue. Michael listed his first poster in June and cleared £2,000 profit in September. Robyn did £2,651 in her first full month. You joined the community, had a look, and listed… nothing. Every month you spend “thinking about it” is another one of those you don’t get.
Every one of these is a post from the Wins channel in the community over the last two months. The names and faces are real and the numbers are theirs. We’ve added nothing except the big type. Tap any card to read the post.
“I followed the PrintShrimp videos to the letter and haven’t deviated from it at all… [I] have between 450–500 prints uploaded currently. Month by month it has increased and in September I made just over £2000 in profit. PROFIT, not revenue. I spend between 20–30 hours a month on this.”

“I quit my job a couple of months ago to look after my toddler full time, a scary decision, and I didn’t think I’d be able to earn money for myself again until she went to school. Thank you PrintShrimp for allowing me to have some financial independence whilst also enjoying every day with my daughter.”

“I know orders like this are rare and definitely not the daily norm, but moments like this make all the behind-the-scenes graft feel worth it. To anyone currently going through a quiet spell, please take this as your sign that your hard work isn’t going unnoticed. Keep pushing!”

“For those starting out, stick with it. If you genuinely trust in your listing quality and choice of niches and you think they should be doing well, then the chances are they will do. Just give it time!”

“Woke up to this order and it’s making me feel a bit sick to be honest!”
Robyn NiblettRead the post “One month (to the day) since I opened my shop and for the first time I’ve got 2 sales in one day! So happy after putting in the effort to have nearly 300 good quality listings and now they’re paying off.”

“There’s a lot of work behind the scenes, so it’s nice to see the effort paying off. Still learning as I go, but excited to see where I can take this!”

“Well that’s not a bad way to start the day! That was with a discount code too… I’m still in shock!”
Rich EvansRead the post “Only a few days ago I was on about not having a sale for a month, then last night I got a notification of a sale. My first 24×36 sale, so a huge framed poster going to the US. Only relisted that particular poster yesterday as well.”
Guy TRead the post “After a month and 44 listings, I sold two posters from a new collection I just listed for £52! Exciting stuff.”
Luke ThomasRead the post “Just had my first 5 star review! 3 out of the 4 were of the same item too. Feels nice seeing the work paying off a little.”

Nobody on that wall had a secret. No viral moment, no ad budget, no design degree. They did the same four unglamorous things, for a few months, without stopping.
This is the whole method. It isn’t complicated. It’s just more than most people are willing to do.
Not thirty-second ones. The posters that sell are designed properly, for a specific niche, for a specific wall. Daniel’s words: trust in your listing quality and choice of niches. Amy’s first four orders included the same design three times. One good poster beats twenty average ones.
George had nearly 300 up in his first month. Michael is at 450–500. Luke needed 44 to get his first sale. Twelve listings isn’t a shop, it’s a test you’ve already decided to fail.
Michael’s first sale came two weeks after his first upload. Daniel passed £1,000 at two and a bit months. Michael hit £2,000 profit in month four. Nobody’s rich in week one. Everybody’s somewhere by month three.
Guy went a month without a sale, relisted one poster, and sold a framed 24×36 to the US the next day. The quiet spell is where most people stop. It’s also where every person on this page didn’t.
You design it and list it. A poster only gets printed when someone has already paid for it, and we print, frame and ship it with your name on the parcel, not ours.
Robyn tried it the old way five years ago, printing and packaging everything herself. “The novelty very quickly wore off.” This is the version where the novelty doesn’t have to.
Pick the closest one. No form, no email. We just point you at the right place.
You don’t need to.
The videos in the community walk through making posters that sell, step by step. Michael followed them to the letter and hit £2,000 profit in month four. Daniel’s advice: trust in your listing quality and choice of niches. The skill is learnable. The hours are the only part you can’t skip.
Michael spends 20–30 hours a month.
That’s for £2,000 profit. Robyn does it around a toddler. It isn’t nothing, but it’s an evening or two a week, and unlike most side projects the shop keeps selling while you’re asleep. Ask Robyn, Nick and Rich.
Guy went a month with nothing.
Then he relisted one poster and sold a framed 24×36 to the US the next day. Luke needed a month and 44 listings for his first sale. Amy had four orders in her first three to four weeks. The first sale tends to come later than you want and sooner than you fear.
Nick got 27 items in one checkout.
Robyn did 50 orders in her first full month. Jayne did £2,274 in a week. There are a lot of poster sellers. There are more poster buyers. “Saturated” is what it feels like when your listings aren’t good enough yet, or there aren’t enough of them. Both are fixable.
Start here.
Join the community, watch the getting-started videos in order, and list your first poster this week. Not your first twenty. Your first one. Then come and tell us about it in Wins.
Respect for the honesty.
The shrimp is still sad, though. Here’s the smallest possible first step: open the Wins channel, read three posts, and notice that none of those people are special. Then list one poster. One.
Go and read the Wins channel properly this time. Then list your first poster and come and tell us about it.
Take me to the winsOr close this tab and we’ll retarget you again next week. Your call.
