How to Create a T Shirt Store Using Shopify

How to Create a T Shirt Store Using Shopify

Here’s a cool video about how to sell your own custom designed t-shirts (without having to invest in inventory!)

Go to this page (from the Shopify blog) for some useful resources including t shirt marketplaces, mockup generators, crowd funding and custom t-shirt printing and fulfilment apps.

The video gets into the nuts and bolts of starting an online t-shirt business – from strategy to t-shirt quality, design and a step-by-step action plan.

Notice how he talks about finding a niche or area where you can specialise in. (An example is these retro, classic Deus Ex Machina t shirts).

I have lots of word ideas that I want to try making t shirts with. I haven’t done it yet so I’m definitely no expert!

But I can see how t shirts could be a fun creative area to experiment with.

To me, the idea part of the t shirt is where it all starts. All the gems (word bombs!) came from keeping my ears open while other people talked and joked. ☺

Then I simply wrote down what they said in my ideas book.

Next I’ll start with a Fiverr.com t shirt designer to play with illustrations.
