What You Will Learn?

  • In this course you will learn to launch and promote a T-Shirt label online. We will avoid all inventory costs and overhead by using print on demand merchants to sell our designs on shirts around the world. In this course, we will use Redbubble, Cafepress, Zazzle, Society6, Spreadshirt, Threadless, Teespring, and Printful to sell designs on Shirts and other products. These companies fulfill the creation and shipping of our products, meaning we don't need to invest in equipment or stock. We will promote on social media sites to get free marketing. .
  • I won't just show you how to upload shirts for sale, we will go through building a lasting brand, and developing a workflow for producing high-quality art. We will use structured descriptions to make uploading our designs a breeze. Even better, what we design for T-shirts can be made for sale on other products, like stickers coffee mugs, wall clocks, and just about any other product you can imagine..
  • I'll be giving you the knowledge I acquired in the last two years running my own T-shirt businesses. I have had a lot of fun running online T-shirt shops just like the ones we will be creating. Everyday smiles are brought to my face via emails alerting me to a purchase. While it is hard to make huge money selling t-shirts, its relatively easy to make consistent good money. But it's not about the money. The best part of the t-shirt business is knowing that somewhere around the world, somebody is wearing something you have designed. It's also fun to wake up to emails saying you have made money while sleeping!.
  • I hope this course get you as excited about T-shirts as I am, and I wish you great success!Edit / Update: I am no longer on Facebook, so I won't be able to approve new members to the Make Money online as an Artist group. Apologies! But there are many other groups out there also. .
