Broke-a$$ teenager desperately needs help selling t-shirt (POD) with a budget of 300$?

[MoneyHacker]

To save your time, i will go directly to the point (assuming that you may care). I'm now a broke-a$$ teenager or adult i don't know (22). My country is now in a lock down because of the new covid wave. It's an Asian country so the government fights covid by locking down and shutting down all the businesses.

Now i cannot do anything due to this. Cannot find a job or sell something to earn a living. The only escape route i can think of right now is to sell t-shirt or other print on demand products. Because i have experience selling these in the past (But failed miserably).

This does not follow CENTS or other rules but now it's not my priority. I just need to make a living. Please help me think of a clever way to sell t-shirt or print on demand with a budget of 300$ or no money is the best, i can work 24/24. I just don't know which direction to go (.

I currently have 2 ways to sell tshirt that i can come up with. Please give your thoughts on this:
- Method 1 is to collaborate with influencers, or artists to put their arts on tshirts. I can setup the store and prepare all the fullfilment. They will advertise the product.
- Method 2 is to use Instagram influencer to sell niche tshirts.

Please give your feedbacks on the methods, or if you have any clever ways please suggest. It will help this broke-a$$ boy survive through the tough time. Thank you.

I know a T-shirt that would be a best seller, it says

" I'm 22 and don't know if I'm a teenager or not"

Take my advice with a grain of salt, why not sell t-shirts which express the feeling, nature, or mood of a person. If your writing triggers emotions, it can sell.

@MoneyHacker
what is your MVP (minimum viable product)?
how inexpensively can you get it to market to test your idea?
what is the risk of trying it? (% chance it works vs what you lose if it doesn't)

if it keeps you moving, gives you a chance, and doesn't kill you .... sounds like you take action
even if it implodes, you will learn something and make connections that might unearth a larger opportunity

hustle beats inaction EVERY F*ckING TIME

At 22 you are a fully grown adult. Young adult.
What skills do you have, what can you do?

In your situation I think the best thing is to get a job.

If lockdown doesn’t allow you to do this (are you 100% sure? Even in lockdown some essential businesses can stay open) I will suggest freelancing. Start with basic stuff (translations, transcriptions, VA ) and start increasing your skill-set to earn more.

I would exclude this T-Shirt business honestly, if it doesn’t meet the commandment of Need you would be screwed.
