How many of you have heard of TEESPRING?
An online business application that requires no up front collateral to design, print and sell your own clothing, apparel, bags, phone cases and even pet wear :)
You've all seen the funny T-shirts and clever quotations on the clothes people wear. Ever seen one and had an idea of your own?
'I really should get a shirt that says this, everyone would want to wear it'
They might.
After all, family, friends and colleagues all tend to have the same sense of humor and interests. But they might not be the only ones who like your ideas.
Teespring will give you the opportunity to find out how successful and PROFITABLE your ideas could be.
It works on a simple principle that they will only produce your product if someone orders one. Then production and shipping costs are taken from the price you set for the item and you get to keep the rest. Set whatever price you want, to sell quickly or maximize profit.
The website enables you to very simply design clothes, bags, phone cases etc with no prior experience.
It's drag and drop software, you upload an image and drop it onto clothes designs already on site, such as t-shirts, hoodies and bags. Add some text and your ready to sell. As simple as that.
It also allows you to setup an online shop, shopfront and connect to all your social media links for advertising. The bigger your social media network, Twitter, Facebook, Instagram etc the wider your audience and potential profits.
I've been at it for two weeks and managed to sell 15 t-shirts, (with what I thought was a funny caption and picture I designed myself) and bagged a tidy profit of £5.99 for each one, that's £89.85 in total at no initial outgoings or risk to myself.
I have a few more designs I have just put on this morning, I just use paintshop or paintshop 3D to make some designs or alter free pictures off the internet. It's actually great fun and although I have not made a fortune It's an enjoyable way to pass the time, especially if you like to use your imagination and get creative.
Have fun, and I hope you make a few bucks.
