Anyone Sell T-Shirts?

A lot of people make money with Teespring. Try investing in a Teespring related product for more info on the subject.

Look into these:

1. TeeSpring.com
2. Fabrily.com

Teespring will be your easiest to set up. There are a ton of options though. Zazzle, Sunfrogshirts, spreadshirt (really like spreadshirt). But for what you are talking about you might want to look into Design Invent Print. Its a bit more work but you will have your own site (they pay for hosting), they will handle the processing, manu, and shipping, and they have manu in USA, CA, UK and a couple other countries. So shipping is faster and more affordable for your customers.

Hope this helps

i dont know about sunfrog but i tried them a while back there platform was not as user friendly as that of tspring.

Teespring is great and super newbie friendly, really works great!

#1 Print Myself
#2 Depends On Quantity Purchased and From Who and Quality
#3 ?
#4 Me and My Wife
#5 Facebook and Paypal direct Customer Response!

1. I use teespring, I have tried other platforms but it works best for ME
2. My base cost is usually between $9.50-$10.20
3. Shipping is $3.99
4. Teespring does all fufillment
5. Again, Teespring

If you are looking for a stand alone option, Shopify with the Scalable Press plug in works really well. The downside I have heard is that the prints aren't the best quality BUT there are some great upsides to it. The opportunity to truly make a brand is great, the ability to capture buyer emails is great and with shopify it offers great sales tracking.,

Hope this helps!

I have a high school friend who sells his t-shirts on facebook for $20 each. Straight from teespring. You should start there first. Also, don't just create t-shirts for the sake of it. Do market research to see what kind of t-shirts work the best, along with the colors and wording, then conduct tests - and start making money by promoting them on a large scale.

Teespring all the way, mate. It is our biggest earner, and we have tried every platform

Teespring is definitely the way to go if you're starting out.

Down the road you may want to check out Represent and Teechip. I know Teechip had a quite the hiccup in fulfillment during the month of April and May but they are all caught up and the profit margins are insane.

Represent has less profit margins than both Teespring and Teechip, but I personally like their back office a little more, and they allow as many colors of tees that you want.

But Teespring is a more solid beginner's choice since they have the an established fund for their own marketing ventures.

Along with Teespring you may want to take a look at represent.com, They appear to be an up and coming platform in the t-shirt market.

There are many choices when it comes to promoting T-Shirts. Obviously the most popular is T-Spring but there are many others. I like Sunfrog. They don't set a limit on the number of shirts that need to be sold in a certain timeframe like T-spring does. They do have a scarcity option that you can implement but it's not a necessity like it is on T-Spring.

Explore all of your options and test them all if you need to. Hope this helps. These are print on demand sites so they print and ship the shirts and you earn an affiliate commission for each shirt sold and an artist royalty if you are the designer of the shirt; at least that is how it works with Sunfrog. Every print on demand site is different and offers different commissions. You can also bulk order shirts at a cheaper price and make a larger profit. The minimum for bulk orders is 48 of a single print, but if you choose this route be sure you can sell all of them that you order. The commission for orders less than that is less but there is also no risk because there is no minimum number of sales promoting it in this fashion. There is training on this business model on the market and if you wanna send me a friend request on FB, feel free and Ill answer any questions you may have.

If you send me a friend request please also send a msg so I know what the request is in regards to. Good luck.

sign up on teespring.com they do all the hassle u sale it.

If you want to have shirts printed and shipped to you to sell yourself, take a look at this site - Custom T-Shirts, Sweatshirts, & Hoodies | Allied Shirts. I'm getting ready to order some to sell on ebay since I can't sell my teespring shirts on ebay and I have a good niche audience already on ebay I sell other products to. And besides the ones mentioned, (teechip, teespring, and sunfrog) there's also teegear and viralstyle.

I use to have shirts promoted via YouTube using Spread shirt. Its not so much the company you use, though that does play a part. The secret is building a following. I made over $8K.

Here is my 2 cents.

#1 We Print Them Ourselves using this printing press:

Riley Hopkins Win Series Screen Printing Press with XY Micro Registration - 8 Color 4 Station | ScreenPrinting.com Powered by Ryonet

#2 Prices vary based on Quantity and Quality.

We use mainly Hanes and Gilden but there are may more brands available.

#3 It depends on certain variables.

Which shipping method (UPS, Fedex, USPS, DHL) you use is very important.

#4 Interns (they are paid and supervised)

They apprentice to learn the business/printing process.

#5 Woocomerce/Paypal and Cash at Festivals, Shows, etc!

There is demand both Online and Offline so we oblige.

We also custom design t-shirts for various individuals, small business and agency clients.

Let me know if you have any further questions... I'll try to help.

As someone who knows very little about teespring, Id be interested to hear the answers to the points brought up by Aussiebrah

Unfortunately, Aussiebrah is obviously very new to the game too.

Firstly, most of those failed campaigns are because they are noobs who copy designs and ideas and suck at targeting.

Secondly, the sales goal is to reach the profit margin. You only need to sell 3 to go to print regardless of sales targets.

If you can't spend time on research and correct targeting to sell a measly 3 items, this game ain't for you

If you have fund, then i advice you to contact any clothing factory in china and get printed t-shirt with your own brand, when you buy in bulk you will get cheap and best quality t-shirt...so you can compete the clothing market and make money..

I can not help because I have not ever busy but very interesting, maybe one day I will start this

1. I get them done up in China for large order or in-house for anything below 200 tees. But when outsourcing, never completely trust your vendor until you've developed a good relationship with them. There will be scam companies that provide a lot less than what they promised.

2. This would actually depend on how large your quantity and the type of quality you need. For most part, Gildan is one of the most commonly used tees for printing and they will cost you around $3 to $5 depending on your sources.

As for the cost of doing up the print on the tees, that will vary according to the type of prints used and the complexity of the logo.

3. Not too sure about shipping costs since i don't deal with those countries but you could easily get a quote from companies like Fedex or DHL. Call in to each company and register for a corporate account. That will give you significant costs savings!

4. My team of staff.

5. Paypal, it hasn't failed me so far. haha.

Just sign up for a simple, free account for teespring and you will have all the questions answered my friend

Look around for local printers,ask a local shop owner they may tell you who prints them.I know here in Canada you can get shirts under $3.00 each and heat press your own designs off of your computer with press paper.We are in tourist area and have a supplier who does white shirts with local tourist design printed for $1.75 yes you read right.They are guildans.Also we sell coloured ones not printed our cost same as white but we do our own print pressing.
We sell our shirts in shop for $2.99-$9.99 and find they sell as we average 30+ sales a day and sometimes in bulk to private buyers for functions like family reunion of 100 people.So we bought shirts at $1.75 already printed and sold 100 for $2.99 as we are not trying to get rich quick.
So for someone to say they are paying $10 for a t-shirt then selling for higher cost to make money I see no need as heat press can be bought for around $400.00 and bulk prints can be bought it's all on sourcing the products.

I LOVE Sunfrog they pay 35-40% commissions, the support is outstanding and they print on demand so no tipping point. You don't even have to design your own shirts you can simply sell other people's designs and make reasonable money.

We print ourselves, but we have noticed that Facebook Fan pages can bring an enormous amount of sales, but requires a lot of tweaking to get there.

There certainly is potential in Tshirts, it's a product practically everyone buys, and it's a rare product in that there is a good margin in it!

There are so many different markets you could focus on too as well as the most obvious gift retail market; corporate workwear (which is great business for people printing in house as it's usually very simple small logo designs), personalised Tshirts for groups such as stag and hen parties, school leavers tshirts / hoodies, group holidays, sports clubs, and any other kind of club you can think of.

T-Shirt Forums would be a good place to get some advice as it's full of folk who're in the Tshirt business.

Other similar areas in that they're popular and there's a margin, is mug printing, and other gift printing such as smart phone cases, mouse mats, tea towels, photo cushions.

The best margins would come from printing in house, but I acknowledge that most people would want to focus on marketing and leave the messy work to someone else ;-). The margins if you print in house though can be VERY attractive.

If you are interested in printing in house, for Tshirts the main options are screen printing, vinyl, laser transfer & direct to garment printing. For the gift decoration business the dye sublimation printing process is the most popular.

Dye sublimation does work for Tshirts too (and it's the most permanent process you could imagine, as the dye particles bond with the polymer molecules present in the substrate), but it's restrictive for garments as dye sub will only work with white or light coloured Tshirts with a heavy polyester content - doesn't work for dark garments or 100% cotton.

Screen printing is good for volume, but isn't great for doing one offs - so if you're thinking of entering the personalisation business where you would print just one or two of a design, screen probably wouldn't be the right option. You have to have a screen made for each design, for each colour in the design.

Direct to Garment can be a good process but the entry cost is usually high, and the machines can be a real pain in the rear to maintain.

Laser transfer is a good process, the entry cost is fairly low & it's quite a straight forward process, wash-ability / colour fastness is pretty good now with modern transfer media.

Vinly can be a bit of a faff when it comes to weeding out (pulling off all of the unwanted bits of vinyl) but can be a good process for single colour logos and text.

Dye sublimation is a low entry cost process, and the amount of items you can create with this process is staggering, most of the sublimation blanks resellers such as subli (in the UK) or conde in the US, have hundreds of different blank products that you can use to create custom printed giftware.

Hope this helps

Sooo, has anyone used Scalable Press?? Just ran into them online... prices look great.. shopify plugin... Anyone?

I can build a site so not concerned about that aspect. I have this amazing dragon/fire fighter illustration that I want to print continuous color on black t's. Marketing them to residents of our county and will be providing proceeds after expenses to fire chief association here. This didn't start out as a fundraiser, interestingly enough. Artist goofed around and came up with this dragon design.. next thing I knew there were firefighters in it....group of people saw it and one wants the illustration painted on his garage door..lol... so I decided when we sell them, I'd go ahead and give a few dollars out of every sale to the firefighters. Odd how it turned in that direction but fine by me.

The art does not work for TeeSpring, though. Here it is: http://i.imgur.com/42s3c5U.jpg

Soooo now I'm all over online looking for the best place to print that kind of design.... I'm exhausted at the search!!! What would you do?

I wrote this blog post about how to monetize your website by selling custom merchandise. Teespring is good if you're launching one big campaign but doesn't help you with continuing residual sales.

Sites like cafepress are good but the problem is you're visitors have to leave your website and setting up your store to look good is very time consuming.
