He's interested in helping small businesses design custom t-shirts, tote bags, and stickers, using his experience with local print shops and sourcing sustainable materials.

Let's roll up our sleeves and help Marco create a standout side hustle in the world of branded merchandise!
"Hello, I'm Marco from Huntington Valley, Pennsylania. I have a background in graphic design and marketing, but always in the corporate world. I'm thinking about starting a side hustle helping small businesses create branded merchandise like t-shirts, tote bags, and stickers. I have experience working with local print shops and sourcing sustainable materials, which could help me offer good options to my clients. But how can I build a diverse client base? This is the place where I always get stuck. I just want to create, not market or think about selling all the time."
