    Ebay and International Shipping Program

    I use the ebay international shipping program on some items, but I haven't had anyone back out after a purchase. I have had international buyers send me a message asking if I can get a cheaper rate, and sometimes I can save them a few bucks by just doing it myself. Why do you think the second...

    MINDSET 
    He's saying that he nets $1,500 from the computer repair aspect of the business, but he is also running an ecommerce operation from the same building with the same employee which is making more money than the repairs. He's thinking about stopping the repairs and focusing solely on his...

    How to Presell in Ecommerce?

    MARKETING 
    Here's what I can think of. Set customer expectations realistically and build in a little bit of room for a minor delay. If you're using a logistics or freight forwarding type of company for any part of the shipping check in with them regularly and try to build up a relationship with your rep...

    Organization & My Brain!

    RANT 
    I'm in the same boat as far as the "organization tools" and digital calendars/lists just causing more chaos and stress. Over the last few years I've tried basic excel sheets, complicated excel sheets with importance rankings and leverage ratings on each task, mind mapping software, etc. None...

    EXECUTION 
    From the research I had done and looking at other campaigns it seemed like around $20-22 on t shirts and $35-40 for a hoodie was what the market would accept. I was shooting for about $6 above cost on the t shirts, and $10-15 above cost on the hoodies (for a run of 10-20 units) while trying to...

    Which Pricing Model Do You Like Better ...?

    MARKETING 
    I know I've seen MJ say that he would prefer a lower number of higher quality insiders as opposed to just selling as many subscriptions as possible for the highest profit possible. So I'm sure he is factoring in his other motivations when pricing. But I assume that's not the point of this...

    Excitable people: How do you sleep?

    MINDSET 
    As a single, no kids, no 9-5 guy if I hit a wave of excitement a lot of the time I'll just ride it. I'll pull an occasional all nighter when I'm excited about something new going on with my business. I catch up on sleep later and take advantage of the motivation when it's strong. There's...

    No cash? Need car? Pick out car, pick up next day, no car payment. Seriously

    I worked in solar from 2009-2014. People are still doing this but it works better on paper than in actuality. Here's one real example from a company that we did some subcontracting work for. SolarCompany installs and owns the panels on Customer's house, as part of a PPA (power purchasing...

    3-7-15 Hey guys, it's been a little over a week since I updated this so here's what's happened. Those two designs did go to printing, one with 5 sales and the other with 10 sales. My total take away from Tee Spring for them is $58.58. Since my last update I launched 3 more shirts, one of...

    I think you're correct. The viral or hit shirts that do 500-1k plus are rare, and of course people are shooting for them. But I think the guys who make money doing this are often hitting nice numbers with a shirt that does a couple hundred. And then perhaps they modify for a slightly...

    2-26-15 I've been busy with some other things so I haven't done a ton with this in the last couple of days aside from manage/cancel advertising and launched 2 more shirts (both of which failed). The advertising for shirts A and B weren't converting enough so I ended up ending the ads. I did...

    2-23-15 Another design has sold enough to hit printing, so that's 2 of 3 of my current active designs. The 3rd I killed the advertising on. So far I have $70.09 into advertising these two and $41 in Teespring profit from them. I'm going to continue running the ads tomorrow and see if the...

    Tired of Scratched Sunglasses

    I think upselling at the sale of the glasses might be an important part of this. I say this because companies sell aftermarket lenses for about $15-20. I wear Oakleys, and usually have one or two sets of the aftermarket lenses. If I know I'm going somewhere where they are more likely to get...

    Question for the more experienced FB marketers: What are my options for deleting or hiding bad comments? A few people have posted things like "cool, but I'm not paying $xx for a shirt". Am I able to delete that, and should I? If I click hide does that hide it from everyone or just from...

    Thanks! I hope so too. It's worth noting that what they say about "layering" and defined targeting seems to be true. Of my 3 shirts right now, the two that aren't selling are cool looking and have a message that people like - but nobody feels enough of a connection to buy. The one that's...

    2-23-15 Quick morning update. The design that had 2 sales yesterday now has 5, and is officially going to print. I'm not in the the profit yet though because it seems that the first few shirts eat up the initial profit and I'm almost $30 in to ads. That's why they don't print unless you sell...
