*VIDEO SUMMARY*
In this video, I try to start a clothing brand with no money in 7 days! I take you through the entire process, from designing, to manufacturing, to advertising. I use Print On Demand and Printful to create my clothes, Wix for my website, and TikTok to advertise. At the end of the video, I show you exactly how much money I make.

Getting a sponsor defeats the purpose of starting with 0$, but i still really enjoyed this video, since its all simplified

[jy-sailormoon]

I like the process, however, you did have an advantage starting out. Most people watching might not already have a TikTok with an already established brand, niche, target audience, and following. The fact that you did gave you a major advantage with a larger following (900K+), even though you didn't make as many sales the first week. Therefore, some folks might fight it very difficult to do advertising unless they use marketplaces like Etsy. I guess the risk with that is being compared to the competition. Overall, you gave a very clear process and approach to starting a print on demand business.

[sorayashahi]

Ok so not really free. You used your following to get free samples and sales from your TikTok.

[sylviavo]

That's really awesome you took this challenge. Starting a business is stressful, but you made it look, simple.

[matthewclarke]

The best thing about your videos is the honesty.
Integrity in this space is lacking to much hype and to many fake it till you make it characters out there. You’ve shown us the process but also the pitfalls not to mention the REALITY. Keep up the good work

[ynfaded]

Curious to know if you're still doing this clothing line and how many sales do you have now?

[nbgvfcmnbh]

You’re definitely great at sales because you sold me to your channel. Thanks for your story it’s humbling and inspirational.

[vivianpage]

So this was super amazing and perfect for me! I needed the process simplified because I had gotten stuck after creating a design and wondering how can I go from here to selling in the most efficient way being a startup clothing line. Thank you so so much!

[partofthegame]

I like it, the guy is clued up enough to use social media and we should all have a go

[thedoubleboiler]

Thank you for actually taking the steps necessary in showing that you need to test your products. Most people skip that step when telling their "starting my own business" story. I started my first business and began selling (in person sales, online soon) about two weeks ago and have sold about 40 scented candles. Looking forward to the future.

Great job 👍👌

[thebettybassettproduction]

I love how great of a communicator you are. You know how to information fun, dude. You're just incredibly smart. Thanks for being awesome.

[ravion]

So, what you're telling me is that you didn't start off with $0 at all...

[DefinitelyNotDavid]

Hey I respect that you actually showed the realistic results of starting a shopify store rather than all these gurus showing their "14 days result" with thousands of dollars made trying to sell you their shopify course lol.

[psbdrue]

It's important that teachers don't put unrealistic expectations in their students heads, I like the transparency. This was a great video, Jensen. Thank you.

[ETHAN_HEMRAZ]

You're a legend mate! Straight to the point, clear etc... Thanks a lot💯

[VictoryVistaYT]

bro he gives the answer which i AM searching for now i can start my own business in few years ...thanks A LOT

Advertising is usually the hard part of having a business.

[OriginalDonutposse]

One of the first things…
What I learned from getting a MC question wrong in a class I got the highest grade on every exam - THE first thing to consider when you start a business is how you’re going to sell the product. In person/vending machines/online sales, mail order with printed catalog… whatever.

Seriously - you identified your market and really scored getting the company to sponsor your video. Idc about total sales in 7 days. You have a business sense I respect, and I’m just a random other business student/lawyer.

Nice video.

[niggaswith]

this whole thing was just an ad. “ yeah i have no money, but luckily i can get sponsored and get free samples “ like cmon bruh really

[derek_underwood]

Nice work dude! Highly commendable, respectable, valuable, and inspirational!
