In this video, we’ll go through steps on how to sell t-shirts online.

1. Find your niche
You need to answer an important question: who are you selling your t-shirts to?

If your answer is “everyone,” you’re in trouble. Everyone can wear a t-shirt, that’s true! But not everyone will like the same t-shirt design. Find your niche and do some research to make sure the market isn’t too crowded.

2. Create a POD account and set up an online store
Once you’ve defined your target market and product niche, it’s time to set up your store. Sign up and create an account with Printful first. Then, add an online platform.

3. Which t-shirt model should you choose?
How to choose a t-shirt model when there are so many, and for some of them the only difference seems to be the price? I suggest you don't give in to the temptation to only choose shirts based on their price, but rather focus on what you’re looking for in a t-shirt. There are other important factors to consider when making your choice. Like the fabric, fit, and overall feel of the shirt. Also, consider the style and the feel you're going for.

4. Create t-shirt designs
If you have design skills and time, you can do it yourself. If you have lots of ideas but need help to make them come to life, there are platforms that will connect you with talented designers.

Remember to always let your designer know how you’re planning to use the design, share the print file guidelines, file resolution and other do’s and don’ts, as well as your vision and inspiration for your designs.

5. Get your first t-shirt sale

The days where businesses could easily exist without social media are long gone. Your social media is not only for showing off your products and making promo campaigns. It can also serve as your second homepage and doesn’t require a financial investment.

Host a giveaway. Who wants free stuff? Everyone and anyone! Host a giveaway where you ask for people to like your social media page and share your post. This is one of the easiest and quickest ways to grow brand awareness.

Have you considered creating your own t-shirt line? 👕

Printful your products are good but prices are absolutely not competitive. It's difficult to get any margin after marketing expenses.

[LoneWolf-tkem]

Do i need to pay upfront to Printful whenever make a sale?! Or the money paid by the buyer is transferred to Printful? 🤔 This is the main reason I haven't opened a custom store yet.

[sandeepbutola]

🥺

[richiehall]

DO NOT devalue professional graphic designers by asking for contests. This is our profession, not a hobbie. We help YOU make money. Don’t dis designers! DO NOT spread disinformation about our industry—especially when you don’t know anything about it.

Printful i am not down with your regulation regarding artist fan arts.
An artist can duplicate an art creation in their own concept as fan art, in likely style as long as they do not attach original name, brand with their art work. It is not a violation to recreated art even if the character sketch is similar, using the original work is violation . Making it in your own style of art is not a violation. As a cartoonist I find it an insult to not understand the hard work that is put into bringing forth beautiful drawings, it's not easy, even if it's a fan art. Each fan art that I make has my signature trademark, by law I can put ownership to my work.

4yrs so far. The profit you outline in this video is a lie. There is no profit unless your niche market is happily paying at least $80 AUD for a low quality t-shirt.
