How to start an online t-shirt store without any capital ?

Post Image

Selling t-shirts is a very profitable business if done correctly.

I have an off line clothing store, so I know how profitable this can be. Not everyone have the required capital, facilities, supplier connections, skills to operate a t-shirt business off line. Good thing is there are number of vendors who can help you run an profitable online t-shirt store.

No need to buy stocks, No need to involve in packaging, shipping, and customer care, all you have to do is set up the store, Drive some traffic, and cash a nice fat check at the end of the month. Your vendor will do all the hard work for you.

All that said, I do not want you to think this is a piece of cake. After seeing all the money making guru’s sales pitches all over Internet You might think making money online is easy. Yes, It is possible but believe me it is not easy. I still make more money off line than I earn from Internet. So proceed with the reading if you are willing to do some real work. Give it 4 Days to set up everything correctly and 45 minutes everyday to traffic building for 3 months and after that may be 15-20 minutes each day Until you are too rich to work any more. As a start join with T-shirt affiliates you like. You can do a Google search and find many vendors or else go to your favorite affiliate network and join few companies.

I have listed few good one’s here for yourconvenience.

1. Busted Tees
How to start an online t-shirt store without any capital ?I like busted tees because they offer lot of ways to promote their t-shirts. For example they support people who do not like to go through the trouble of running a website or a blog. People who are not in the internet marketing or money making industry can still earn money with them. They have this face book application called "t-shirt money maker". All you have to do is add that application to your profile. If one of your friend sees these very attractive t-shirts and ends up buying few you will be credited $5 for each t-shirt they buy. And that is not all. If your friends install the application from your profile, you get $1 for each shirt they sell, too!

They work with commission junction. so you will be redirected to CJ to proceed with the application. My application was approved within 24 hours . And it was a smooth ride from their onwards. I do not use this facebook application since most of my friends are from Sri Lanka. (Chances of they buy something online is NILL) But I have set up few lenses to drive traffic to my affiliate store and I am doing well with them at the moment.


2. DeezTeez

The next t-shirt store I like is DeezTeez. They have this ready made store which you can add it to your website within few minutes. Work here is minimal. They have gone the extra step to do the set up work for you. Their slogan is "funny t-shirts with an attitude". I like that. They pay $6 per each t-shirt you sold via your online store. And they also have links to be added to your "MySpace" profile if you find it difficult to run your online store under your own domain.


3. Skrewgear.

The final t-shirt store I am recommending is skrewgear. I am not an affiliate with them since I am doing well with the previous two programs. And I do not have much time these days to test new programs because of the blog. These guys have very naughty t-shirts.

Though I am not an affiliate I have purchased few T-shirts from them last month. And they are soooo hot and awesome. Even If you are not in to this business, I highly recommend you to go and have a look at their t-shirt store. If you do decide to partner with them for your own t-shirt business they will pay you 15% all sales referred by you.

I do not like to put their links here since I gain nothing out of it except giving few one way links out of my site. So if you wish to participate in their programs do a Google search for bustedTees , DeezTeez and skrewgear. Look for the affiliate link when you are in the web site and sign up for the program.

Custom Search

It will be a straight forward work for webmasters to add the store and start earning money. But for the total newbie, I will explain how to build up your store, Drive traffic, and all importantly how to make your first sale.

I repeat, You can earn lot of money by selling t-shirts online. And it does not require a capital, stock or a store. This is a very profitable business. If you still have not done anything to improve your income from your day job it is high time you start doing so. stay tuned for my next blog post for step by step guidance.

This is after you have made all your money in currency trading is it? Or before?

@ pujitha,
I have never limited my self for one source of earning method. Only less talented people do that. you know :-)

It is high time you come out of island mentality. Unless our country can stay like this forever.

@ harsha,
Way to go brother. Next major thing is setting up deadlines. There is a huge gap between thinking and implementing. When you have deadlines it will put you a big step further to actually achieving something.

All the best and keep me updated about the progress.

Thx for the info, I wanted to make my toon into t-shirts and I had a cafepress for a while but only made 11$ I got a heat press, the type you would see in the mall and now I can press my own… I love the mouse pad i can make… but I jast am not really getting any flow from any of them.

@ chato,
Hey,thanks for dropping by,
This is the best thing about the online store. You said you had a hard time running this off line.But when you do this online you can direct traffic to 1000’s of designs and you don’t have to design anything like you did with the heat press. And you will be getting paid up to $5 per purchase which is almost like selling your own t-shirt.This is indeed a good profit margin.Isn’t it?
