Anyone do print on demand for their images?

If you have used print on demand, do you also sell those images on stockphoto sites or are those images exclusive to POD?

I sell clipart on microstock, sometimes they are an element in my designs on POD sites

I do a mix.  There are some POD images that probably wouldn't work as stock, and some I want to keep exclusive.  But I don't draw a firm line between POD and stock.

I do a little of this. I sell on Fine Art America and Redbubble, but I don't get many sales.

I had several hundred images on Fine Art America for a few years.  Had 1-2 sales.

FAA's search engine algorithm heavily favors their long-time members with very large portfolios (commercial galleries, etc.) that dominant sales.   Those trying to get started have a really hard time trying to gain any traction as a result.

Waste of time with no meaningful results for effort expended so closed my account.

in addition FAA only  sends some of your images for google indexing
