No. But thats why I suggested you use my design guy here
http://trkur.com/fv/555
He does great work, same day turnaround, and I promised I would send him some business for his great work. Try him out for logo design, tshirt design, whatever design work you need.

Am I the only one who gets redirected to a spam page from this link?
Something doesn't seem legit with this post. Looks more like promotional links than useful information.

If the designer guy is really on Fiverr, his profile will be like http://www.fiverr.com/his_username

This sound like an interesting idea. I already run a humor page on Facebook and teespring could be an avenue to monetize it.

Update: Teespring ads are following me around all over the place haha

Same, after viewing the shirts I now get them as ads on this site, as well as others. Is this something Teespring does? What's the proper name for this?

I've heard of people doing this. I meant to do this a while back but never got around to doing it.

In the past, I dunno, hour...

Created a teespring campaign.
Created a facebook ad campaign for the week.

Will be a fun / cool little test just to see what happens.
Repped you up for taking action! Keep this thread alive with your progress!!

What's the advantage of using Teespring, instead of creating a website with your t-shirts and sending people to it with ads?

You don't have to get t-shirts, print custom designs on them, ship them, etc. Basically you make the design, promote it, get paid. Teespring simplifies it to a quick process for the creator while taking their share.

How much does Teespring charge you for printing/shipping the shirts?
Nothin, they just take it out of the funds at the end. You dont really see the money and they dont tell you how much they take. Try it out for yourself and you will see what we mean teespring.com

I have no idea what trkur.com is i just checked the webpage and it is entirely blank
the site hit a 2/60 on virustotal (probably for trackers)

Ok thanks, that makes sense.
So creating your own website would be mostly better if you're creating a brand with your t-shirts.

Yes, if your interested in pursuing your own clothing brand it's probably a good idea to see if your going to be able to market clothes by using websites like teespring first.

If you have $5 and one idea for a Tshirt, you are letting an opportunity pass you by. Will this get you out of the rat race? No. Will it give you some startup and rent-paying cash. ABSOLUTELY.

I got started by selling T-Shirts and hoodies online using a site called Teespring (if you havent heard of it you are under a virtual rock). We had a graphic designer create our T-Shirt designs on a site called Fiverr (again, if you arent using Fiverr, you are spinning your wheels!)

For $5, I was able to produce more than 12 profitable T-Shirt campaigns, earning about $2,000 in profit. You have no excuse. Again, here are the resources:

Fiverr - Use this graphic designer to create your T-Shirt designs. He uses photoshop, and will have your order ready in 24 hours. Just be specific about what you want. ( Click here to check him out)

Teespring - Launch a campaign here. Start out with a low number (LIKE 5-10) as your goal until you get a feel for it. Click here to launch your campaign.

Repeat step 1 and 2.


Need proof I actually did this? Here are Tshirts I targeted at African Americans

http://teespring.com/unitedstatesofafrica_archive_1
http://teespring.com/panafricanalliance_archive_1
http://teespring.com/NYAMEYEOHENE_archive_2

Now you have no excuse. Lets see how many of you actually do it.


I love your idea, and think its awesome that you shared it with everyone. I hate to be negative, but I'm just curious, you said you made $2000 but I clicked on your examples and it says you sold like 9 shirts.. What am I missing? I'm sure theres an explanation. I mean you wouldn't have offered proof if you were bullshittin.

Well, if you read the first post... the guy said he did 12 campaigns. Those 18 are form one campaign, and if the t-shirts cost $20 on average, that's $360 for that one campaign... That's how i understood it, I might be wrong.

Yes, that's advertising for going to teesprings website. They are called retargeting ads. Very good ROI.

This seems a little suspicious to me. @pledgerar posted an affiliate link several times throughout this topic promoting his fiverr designer and he showed us three of his unsuccessful shirts with only 18 sales. How does that prove the $2000 profit? Apologies if I misinterpreted something.

- All of those shirts were successful. What are you even talking about? What you are seeing are THE REOPENED CAMPAIGNS! Since these worked so well, I reopened them to keep the ball rolling
- Affiliate link or not, try it for yourself and post your results here. Hell, do it without links. Doubt me all day, but dont doubt the validity of the info

If you shop around and find someone better, please let us all know! Doesnt have to be my guy. I want people to take action, regardless of who they go with. Please keep us updated!

- I didn't realize "9 were sold in the original campaign" means "9 were sold in the REOPENED CAMPAIGNS".
- I don't think affiliate links are allowed.

Besides, I apologized in advance for any sort of misinterpretation, so there's no need to be so aggressive.

It doesn't. You were right the first time.

Also, one of them isn't even a reopened tee, it's the original campaign (that's in danger of not meeting the quota within the next 24 hrs). Maybe OP mixed his links, or he's trying to get some more sales. In any case, he wasn't claiming he's making huge money off of this so I don't see much wrong with what he's doing.

Teespring is a good resource otherwise. I've bought in the past, not enough money on the bone for me to start selling though.
