Can I Make Money Selling T Shirts?

Companies such as Teespring, Redbubble, and Merch by Amazon have helped thousands of people earn passive income by selling trendy, catchy printed t shirts online.  These companies help t shirt designers by handling the ecommerce side of the business.

It is important to note that not everyone is getting rich selling t-shirts, and some t shirt designers actually lose money do to shipping return charges when setting up shop with companies such as Teespring, Redbubble and Merch by Amazon.

Our goal at The Teeser is to offer artists an alternative to such companies and allow artists to experiment with their craft.  We feel that artist should have full control over their artwork and be able to manage every aspect of their t shirts.

How will I Promote my T Shirts?

The internet offers artists an incredible number of opportunities to promote your artwork.  The only problem is that while the internet is endless, your time and resources are probably not.  That is why we wanted to create this article, to provide a starting place to learn the t shirt printing business.

Below are areas that we feel are especially important in learning how to promote your t shirts.

Identify Your Target Market

Every artist has their own unique style and voice, it’s what makes art so exciting and exhilarating.  Unfortunately, being original and true to your art means that not everyone will like your artwork.

Understanding and identifying your target market is especially important in determining how to market your printed t shirts.  In most case you probably are already knowledgeable and know what type of person really “digs you work”.

Platforms like Google AdWords and Facebook allow you to tailor your marketing campaigns to specific user groups, over time you will be able to understand and market to specific groups which will help lower your marketing budgets and efforts.
