About a month ago, I was surfing around YouTube looking for some residual income ideas. While watching videos, I kept on seeing suggested videos about TeeSpring. After watching a few videos, I thought to myself “It sounds easy enough and I’ve wanted to sell T-shirts for some time now.” So I decided to give it a shot.
This is where the fun begins. I’m not a graphics designer and I was drawing a blank on my normally witty sayings, so I turned to Google. After some searching I found a site that sells graphics for t-shirts. Well I’m not one for spending money until I know something is going to work, so I looked around and I came across two designs that I thought were catchy and that should sell with no problem. The first one Fitness Worker and the second was I’d lose weight but I don’t like losing, went back to TeeSpring, created the shirts and then went to bed.
When I woke up, I visited TeeSpring, thinking “I surely have a sale, those t-shirts are catchy and they look pretty good.” When I got to TeeSpring, not only did I have no sales, I only had 5 views. After doing some research and looking around, I found out that TeeSpring will help you market your T-Shirts, after you sold a few on your own. After finding this out I thought to myself “You have 550 friends on Facebook, 525 people on F’N Mental, 10,832 people on Goodbye Chins, and 34,481 Parker Uncensored, I’m sure to get a sale, if I post the T-shirts on them.” After posting them, I waited until the next day to check and I had 32 views no sales. After another day of posting I had 77 views no sales. Then I started thinking “Maybe the T-Shirts aren’t as catchy as you think they are?” So I decided to buy another T-shirt design And then I realized Adventures are the best way to learn and I shared it a couple places, woke up the next day and 68 views and still no sales.
Back to research I go, I watched a video that talked about influencers, so I get the idea to go to Fiverr, I find two people that I liked their ads and I hire both of them. In their ads they talked about giving results, the first day I had 17 views no sales, the second day 28 views no sales then a message from both people from Fiverr, one asking for a rating, the other asking for an extension. Well I refused to give the first one a rating because it would have hurt their ranking, the second I allowed to have the extension. The following two days 57 & 40 views, still no sales.
After coming to the realization that it’s going to be a long bumpy road until I make a sale, I decided to just have fun with TeeSpring and make some more designs. The designs that I made are #FuckRacism, Your Crazy Is Showing, Not Normal, Weekend Forecast, Boobie Bouncer, and Trailer Trash. Still no sales, but if I get some because of this post, I’ll let you know. If you have any suggestions, please leave a comment. Much appreciated and thank you for your time.
