How to make your own t-shirt brand
Start with great artwork
Choose a high quality garment
Go to theprintful.com. They do print-on-demand t-shirts.
Create a t-shirt using their tools. (Remember, logo placement is important)
You can order t-shirt samples directly from theprintful.com
When you receive the samples, look for 3 things: How does the logo look and garment feel? How well does it go through the wash & dry cycles? How do people react to the shirt when you wear it?
Gather online feedback: post photos of you wearing the shirt on Instagram, Facebook, etc...
You can also consider using crowdfunding platforms like Teespring and Cotton Bureau
Your first production run: I recommend using theprintful.com. They'll do print on demand for every order that comes in. They'll also package and ship it for you. This means you don't need to hold inventory.
Create your online store: I used WooCommerce for the MegaMaker store. You can also use Shopify. Using these platforms, whenever people order an item, it will automatically generate an order in Printful.
What happens next? We'll find out!
Are you going to sacrifice quality so you can increase your margins?
I'll report back on Wednesday with sales numbers.
