I was inspired by @AgainstAllOdds 's process thread, although now in mid-August I'm not sure if he's still doing it, his site seems to be down.
It was about tshirt selling or creating a clothing line.
I've had an idea for creating shirts for a while now and took some time today to finally get something done.
Actually as soon I asked it I found out how silly that sounds. Of course I should!
Though so far: $0 spent.
I may have to spend a few days gathering followers before I direct any traffic to the site. Besides which I should probably have product to ship before getting any buyers.
My 14 day trial at Shopify starts today. We'll see what happens in the next two weeks.
Even if this fails, I've done something I've wanted to do for a long time, and I can potentially learn quite a bit, and maybe even get some good tips from you good people.

- Created 4 - 5 t-shirt mockups using the Threadless template
- Set up a new Instagram account for the business
- Set up a new Twitter account for the business
- Can utilize my existing Twitter/IG accounts to help drive traffic. I have good quality followers and can sometimes gain a good amount of impressions for the target demographic, though we're talking dozens here, but 3K+ impressions from 350+followers.
- Get on-demand printing set up
- Buy a domain
- Possibly buy some ad-traffic
- Future: find alternate hosting
- I've improved my Photoshop skills
- I learned how to use the Threadless template
- I created my own logo from scratch in 2 varieties
- Learned more about Shopify and what it can do
