Quick Hustle: How I made $2,000 on Teespring

[Ronnie]

I can't run my mouth to someone I've never met. I can't do it. How do you live with yourself posting half witted remarks ONLINE? Your reply stinks of (I didn't even take the time to read the message before making a dumb a$$ comment) I deal with 30-40 Big personality F$&king Assholes 10 hours a day. 6 days a week. Most of them a lot scarier than what I'm seeing rite now!! I deal with Millionaire customers who Assume there wealth has some sort of godliness come along with it. There idiots with a niche. Not ALL just some.
I screwed around a bit with Tee spring. when I wasn't working on something that is much bigger and better. I don't give two F*cks about Tee spring. or anyone on this forum who thinks talking tough on a FORUM is a manly thing. It's an ego boost. Ridiculous! I'm New to the whole computer world. People talking shit over the computer sets me off like you can clearly see. And Unless someone boots me. I'll just absorb the great info. and not comment to much.

Well I hope they are scarier.. this is the internet. Welcome to it.

another sale just popped up, so 16 sales now. FB ad seems to be working. Working slowly...but working haha.

Good stuff man.

 

[Asaad]

This sounds like a good idea, i am going to get in on this and brain storm ideas. So far, pumping FB ads seems like the way to go.

 

[Shdreams]

My tshirt ended up at 20 sales with $120 profit in 14 days total. Tshirt price was $16.50.

I spent about $45 in FB ads and posted it on reddit and thats pretty much it.

Did 20 fill the campaign?

 

[KONIG]

Yeah, the campaign only needed 10 shirts to go into production.

However the campaign just got suspended right now, even though it had already finished and "gone into production" as of today. The tshirt has no copyrighted material on it at all. The title of the tshirt did have the word Mazda in it though so I am not sure if that caused them to suspend it. Oops!

 

[Avus]

Yes, this was my first swing. None of the shirts made it to the featured page. You must be wondering how I marketed? I used targeted niche forums and Facebook (not ads - which suck - but i joined Facebook groups that matched my target market.) Groups with more than 3,000 people had solid conversion.

Very interesting idea. I think I am going to try this.

So how did this turn out? Did they unsuspend your shirt? did you get paid?

 

[Discourse]

teespring + advertising on Facebook = guys doing 6 figures a month

Where did you get that info?

 

[Luffy]

I might just give this a shot.

 

[Silverhawk851]

Where did you get that info?

Personally know some. Again, some are spending 5-10K on ads a day so yeah

Every year around Christmas I make a few hundred bucks off of my Zazzle shirts:

http://www.zazzle.com/cherrycards/gifts?pg=1&ps=90
http://www.zazzle.com/thesavepoint
and about 2 other stores with different products.

It's not a ton of cash, but I spent a few days creating them a few years ago and they provide a nice little extra cash around christmas without marketing. If I stuck with it and did a shirt a day since then, I'd be making a fulltime living from it, I'm sure.

Stick with ANYTHING long enough and you'll excel.
Most people don't want to so they fail.

How do you market on Zazzle? Is it the same thing as Tee Spring (FB, twitter, reddit)
Or does Zazzle market it too for you? (on their website/visitors).

 

[teabag]

This looks like a lot of fun...

Is facebook advertising + teespring campaign the best course of action?

 

[Discourse]

Yup. but its getting saturated now

 

[GraphicKing]

I dont know why I never thought of this with my design skills

shit seems crowded but il see if i can make a few $$$

 

[pgtownsyou]

Who's making the real big bucks behind all of this? The owners of Teespring of course. Go big or go home, let's make the next Teespring! Who's in?

There's already a bunch of new t-shirt companies with the same business model as Teespring, including ones in Europe.
Plus there's a lot of other new t-shirt fulfillment companies with different business models. It's hard to even keep up with them all and know what each one is all about and whether they're worth dealing with.

I remember the original reason I rejected Teespring was because their web site front page was misleading. It made it seem like Teespring was all about printing shirts for various groups of people such as charities and sports teams, so I thought it wasn't for me. That gave me no idea of what Teespring users were really doing, basically bombing the shit out of facebook users. Haha.

 

[mnoor]

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.

any update?

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

The United States of Africa Perfect Tee
Limited Edition Pan-African Tees!
Kemet Meets West Africa!

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

Hi

super idea

What's the out lay cost?

thanks

I wonder if this Teespring model still works, or has it been done to death? This was big during the 2014 era but seems to have died out in early 2016.

How big of a slice?

sounds good though

 

[Ing]

This year I tried some shirts at different pod shops.
The margins are small.
I think there is no big money in a me too business. May be excelent execution and much work will bring a income.
But imo no easy money as it was.
