Expanding My Shirt Store WORLDWIDE!

in life •  7 years ago

I'm so excited to announce I'm in the process of expanding my shirt store worldwide! Using Amazon, And Etsy. I can't wait to get THOUSANDS of products listed.

I remember back when I was 16 And I discovered Redbubble. A Print on Demand Store. I started making shirt designs and started making an easy 40.00 a month to cover my phone bill each month. It's bizarre to think that at that time, I had no idea that shirt designing would be a big part of my career at age 25.

Now I have the option to integrate Printful and Amazon. Which if you are in the shirt business, You can do it too :)
Along With Etsy, And some of the other platforms out there, This is an incredible way to diversify your shirt income.

I'm All For Diversifying!

After losing my E-commerce Store last year, I realized how important it is to keep a somewhat diversified income. You never know what will happen.

Cost Per Shirt Is Lowered

Right now I have 2 Designers, and I sometimes Pay another company to make designs for me. I gotta admit, I sometimes miss making designs. But I know that I only have so much time in the day.
I have found ways to drop the cost of designs as a whole.
By using tools to filter the colors and "invert" the design giving people more color choices.
This lowers my cost overall. It also allows me to pay my designers a nice wage.
Plus with all these new platforms I'm on, The chances of me getting a sale on a specific design are heightened.
So my ratio of sales to no sales will improve.
The shirts will more than pay for themselves over time!

So Many Opportunities

Sometimes it's hard to pick and choose what opportunities you want to pursue in life.
I'm struggling with this now, And being able to grow my shirt business and make more, Will allow me to become more "hands off." Which at this point, is what I want. Because I want to spend more time on Steemit!

Expanding globally, Gets me one extra step in that direction.

Gosh, That is so amazing, Thank you so much for telling me about this! I can't believe I didn't see her painting and I would have been so sad if I didn't see it.

Than I’m even more glad I let you know. The steemit world is getting bigger. But you have your falowers taking care of things you can’t always see and take care of.

Wow big congrats ! These days it's awesome that with an internet connection we can reach out all over the world, in the same time we can invite the whole world to us .

Letting go of certain responsibilities when you grow the business - you have the experience and vision- that is what you need to share and keep track of

Right? I can't wait! The internet is just so amazing! I love it!

Well done and this is great news! Now you can keep it going forward and growing even bigger to help you out.

please mam see my post

Keep up the good work. Glad your business is still growing.

This is awesome. Any time you do it be sure you get prices from a few different vendors. You'd be amazed if someone that makes your shirts will sell you labels for $10 per 100 labels you might be able to find someone else that will print and whip 100 labels to the t-shirt vendor for $1 (just an example probably not going to get that many labels shipped for that cheap).

Congrats on expanding and hope one day you find a way to accept Steem (if you aren't already).

Hehe right? I Love being able to get a lot done for less, And I hope to accept Steem at some point, Or any crypto for that matter.

YES @kaylinart more time on STEEMIT is what we all want.

Congratulations @kaylinart on your new journey. I'm happy for you for the success of your business. May the odds always be on your favor. Good luck :)

Great news!
Now you can get more income from your t-shirt business. Doing research and coming up with a design takes time, but it's worth it.
Wish you all the best, @kaylinart!

I was browsing your Amazon products for a while and stumbled upon your post after that, which made me smile. To employ designers even to whatever extent sounds really great.

I try to put the jigsaw of your story together for myself. I joined just recently, so I have to (damn curiosity). May I ask how you could lose an E-commerce store? People tend to think about a business like that as something "secure" that cannot really be taken away because it is just "online". Did you have trouble with the physical aspects like printing and shipping?

wow it is very intaresting dear
@kaylinart

sometimes the little childhood fantasies and things some people do for fun turns out to be a profession for them.

and it would be a nice thing cause you now have more than 10 years experience
wish you all the best

well done i started a merch by amazon print on demand business 6 months ago and did not sell a shirt for months. only made like .30 c profit per sale and sold 10 in 3 months.

you then get tiered up and allowed to upload 25 tshirt designs hen when you sell 25 designs, tiered up to upload 100 tshirt designs then when sell 100 shirts you can upload 500 designs that is where the money is.

friends in thailand who are at 500 shirt designs earn $2,000 -$4,000 net profit per month, hope i get to that sales level xmas 2018.

kept my royalty to .30c to get tired up to 100 shirts faster .

good luck with the expansion

Congrats, best of luck

Thanks for update about your fun stuff @kaylinart.

Thank you

how did you lose your ecommerce store if you don't mind me asking? @kaylinart

Very useful for me, let's give more information to @nguyen-land
I will support you.

2.77% @pushup from @kaylinart

I'm going to follow you now, hoping you would sometime post a practical guide on how you do what you do, maybe not because I'll actually use it, but i like to learn new things so i can suggest to people around me that would need it.

Congrats on taking your store worldwide! I love the whole print on demand arena. Being creative and making things people actually want to own!! AMAZING!

I sell on Etsy and Amazon currently, mugs and t-shirts that I design and ship through Gearbubble. I have heard great things about Printful though. I like that you can integrate them with Etsy, something that GB doesn't currently offer.

May I ask who your shirt design company is? I would like to print some of my art on shirts aswell.
