How to create and sell your own t-shirt on Teespring
I just finished my first campaign with Teespring so I'd like to share it here.
Btw sorry for my English because it's not my native language
------------------------------------
What is Teespring
Teespring.com allows you to create & sell custom tees. Teespring handles printing & shipping for you.
My Process
Step 1 - Design a tee.
Choose your nich and design your tee. You can hire a designer (fiverr.com, odesk.com) but I prefer designing it my self using teespring online designer
You can upload your own art or browse teespring library which contains over 10,000 pieces of art and more than 50 fonts.
Use only 1-2 colors on one side to lower your t-shirt cost.
Step 2 - Set a goal (tipping point) and shirt price
The next step is to set your sales goal, which is the minimum number of shirts you'll need to sell in order for the shirts to be printed. Also set the price and the length of the campaign.
I set a goal at 25 shirts ($18.99 each) in 7 days. The higher amount you set, more profit you will earn.
Tips - After you set up your campaign you can send an e-mail to Teespring support asking them to add options to your campaign (color or style). You can have 5 options in one campaign.
This is mine.
Step 3 - Add a title and description
Choose a title and description for your campaign! This is where you can describe the tee, link to your website, or explain your cause.
Step 4 - Promote it!
Using a blog, website, twitter, facebook,forum etc.
I have a fanpage in facebook (6k fans) so I share my campaign there twice a day.
I also use Facebook ads to promote it (using News feed ads only - higher CTR than right column ads) - split test between optimize CPM and manual bid (CPC).
I use my shirt picture in my ads and use call to action in ads text (Buy this t-shirt now if you love... [my niche] only $18.99!)
Step 5 - Reach your goal!
You can continue to sell shirts past your goal until your campaign ends.
Step 6 - Get paid
After your campaign ends, you can request to get paid via Paypal. They send me money in the same day.

$549.39 Earned
$245.174 Spent (on Facebook ads)
$304.216 profit
ROI 124%
