How to Start Your Own Clothing Brand in 7 Days

Day 1

Niche down and try to find a micro niche that is not overtly saturated yet has a great demand. Think about something like trekking, extreme sports, bike drifting, car drifting, etc.

Once you found the niche, name your brand. It should be simple easy to remember and represent the niche. Let’s say we are working on card and bike drifting and name our brand Drift Club.

Day 2

Design your clothes using your brand logo, brand name, brand image, etc.

Day 3

You need to manufacture your clothes. You have three options, one, buy a digital printer, or white label clothes and start printing your designs; two, contact a manufacturer and order your product; and three use the print-on-demand method. The third method does not need money.

Day 4

If you are ordering your products from a manufacturer or printing your own products, it will take time, but if you chose print-on-demand you can start selling immediately. When you are printing your products, you need to set up your studio and start printing. When you are ordering from a manufacturer, you should wait until the products come to your warehouse.

Day 5

List your products on the platform where you want to sell, or start your own store.

Day 6

Start promoting your brand and products through social media platforms and advertising

Day 7

Generate sales.

Which is the Best Platform to Start Online Clothing Business?

There are a lot of options to do online business. However, what are the best platforms to do an online business?

Amazon: You can do different kinds of businesses on Amazon, such as FBA, and Amazon Merch, or sell digital products like ebooks, apps, software, etc. All of the business methods available on Amazon are free to start. You start paying only when you generate sales.

Etsy: This platform is ideal for handcrafted products, digital products, and print-on-demand products. You will have to pay 20 cents to list your product and once your product is sold, you pay a 6.5 percent sales commission.

Shopify: Shophify is software that you can use to create your own online store. On your shopify powered store, you can sell anything you want, digital products or physical products, dropship or print on demand, or even services. Shopify fees start from $29 per month.

Woocommerce: This is a plugin for wordpress content management system that converts a simple website into an online store that can be used to sell anything. Woocommerce is completely free. However, in order to build woocommerce store, you need domain and hosting.

If you want to sell online, I recommend Amazon because it is one of the top 10 websites for traffic. It also has millions of registered buyers.

Is It Really Easy to Make Money By Selling Clothes

No matter what kind of business you have and what kind of products you are trying to sell, you might have noticed that sales are hard to come. This is also the case with the Print-On-Demand business. A lot of people will suggest you start this business and tell you that you can make money for free, however, when you start you will find that that’s not the case.

Just because you can start for free does not mean you will actually make money with Print-On-Demand.

Advertising plays a great role in generating sales. You will have to advertise your products through different means and through different channels.

If you are using Etsy, you need to run Etsy ads. If you are using Amazon you need to run ads on Amazon. Do you actually get sales after running ads? Well, sales are not guaranteed, ads will improve your product visibility, and you might even get clicks on your ads, but as far as conversion is considered, they are hard to come.

You can also run ads on social platforms, for instance, facebook ads, instagram ads, tiktok ads, etc.

When you are running ads, you need to run for at least 30 days and have a minimum ad budget of $10 per day, which means you need to spend $300 on ads.
