Okay, so you may be looking to make a little extra cash on the side or you may have this creative itch you want handle, but don't know how to get started. Well you can handle both through an online t-shirt company called Teespring! You basically could launch a full on t-shirt line through this service! However, you may be wondering how you will get the money to do this. No fear a free service is hear!!
With Teespring there is no initial start-up fee. All you have to do is create an account and design your t-shirt. They do provide great features that you can use for your t-shirt, however if you have any other designs that you want to use you can upload them. It would probably best to upload an original image to avoid legal issues - we want zero problems. After creating your t-shirt all you have to do is create you campaign. This can be a one time campaign or one that you run consecutively that repeats every three days. Make it fun, give it a cool name, set your quantity and launch your campaign! This is the shirt that I created. Cool design with a catch phrase on the front and back! #GetIShDone (we got work to do babe!) Click the image if you would like to make a purchase!!
This is a great way to learn how to develop a product and see what sells! Teespring shows you just how much it costs to make the product and how it is marked up. For instance a t-shirt may cost $12.42 to make and marked up to $21.99. This will give you $9.57 in profit per t-shirt. Teespring handles all of the shipping and printing, but products are not shipped until the campaign is over. At least three t-shirt needs to be sold in order for your t-shirt to be printed (if not no one will be charged). This is a great free service, but you don't want to just let your t-shirt sit their. You're a bold babe so that means you have to put in that work!! Here are 5 ways to promote your t-shirt so you can make that money:
1. Social Media Promo!
Advertise on Social Media!! Instagram, Facebook, Pinterest whatever social media is a great tool to use to promote your tee. You could either pay for advertising or reach your target market organically. If you have a strong following it is even better! Use hashtags and of course interact with your followers!
2. Work with your Tribe!
Tell your friends and family about it! They would love to support you so why not start with your loved ones. Ask them to take pictures in your tee and tag you so they can reach your link.
3. Use Your Lane!
Do you have a blog? Well promote your tee on your blog (just like this) ! You can either write about it or open it up as a shop page where you can promote more designs, because you can start more than one campaign!
4. Promote on YouTube!
So maybe you don't have a blog, but you have a YouTube channel! Well of course promote you t-shirt on your vlog. You can even ask other vloggers to promote your t-shirt!
5. Promote Yourself!
If you have a great design, buy it yourself and wear it as a marketing tool! People will ask questions and you can direct them to your sales page!
Also, these profits don't just have to be for your own pockets, but you can also donate a portion of your sales to a non-profit
