    The notes and resources mentioned in this video:
    0:00 Intro Sequence
    1:30 What is Made To Order?: Also known as print on demand or “dropshipping” this process allows you to focus on the design and marketing of your brand, and you only pay for the products once they are sold. It’s a great way to start a clothing line as it costs you no money up front. Best of all a fulfillment partner such as Apliiq does all the shipping for you.
    3:11 Direct To Garment Printing: Also known as DTG, is a method of printing that allows you to print in full color, without the extra cost normally associated with screen printing. DTG allows you to create multiple samples and products quickly and efficiently.
    6:12 Creating Branded Labels: labeling apparel allows you to fully customize your blank t-shirts, so your customers will think you made it all from scratch. Labeling allows you to fully brand your apparel line and make it your own.
    8:05 What is Embroidery?: Embroidery give your product an enhanced touch and is great for fleece, hats, jackets and much more. The key to embroidery is in creating sharp vector graphics as the design is created by stitching thread through a garment.
    9:27 Fulfillment/ Shipping: A fulfillment company does all the shipping for you. They are responsible for ensuring that your orders are shipped to your customers, all while ensuring that your customers never know someone else handled it for you. They provide poly bags to protect your products, shipping labels and packing slips.
    13:20 Collection Planning: The key to starting a clothing line with $0 dollars is to design a brand for eCommerce. Selling directly to your customers allow you to launch with as little as 3-5 designs vs having to create multiple styles, line sheets and samples to sell to retailers.
    16:00 Design Programs: Photoshop and Illustrator is the software you will need.
    Get access to all design programs: bit.ly/Creative-Cloud1
    16:56 Working With Designers: If designing is not your strong suit, consider working with graphic artists on Design Crowd and Fiverr as well as Upwork.
    DesignCrowd: bit.ly/DesignCrowd-1
    Fiver: bit.ly/Fiverr-Signup
    Upwork: www.upwork.com/
    17:48 Setting Up Your ecommerce store: Shopify allows you to integrate with major Print on Demand Platforms such as Apliiq. The key to Shopify is how easy it is to use if you’re a novice to building your own website.
    25:20 Social Media: the best way to start marketing your products is to have a presence on social media platforms. Just as important is setting up a landing page that allows you to collect customers emails.
    27:38 Collecting Sales: to collect payment for your products, you can use Shopify’s mobile payment platform, Paypal or SquareUp
    Shopify Mobile App: bit.ly/Shopify-Mobile
    Paypal: www.paypal.com/us/home
    Squareup: squareup.com/us/en
    29:03 When to Legitimize Your Business: The best time to set up your LLC, DBA or Corporation will depend on you. I recommend you speak with an attorney or your CPA to decide on your personal situation.

    After working years in the apparel industry - I believe this is great advice, especially just starting out/testing the waters for creating your own line. This definitely beats having to place a 300+ order minimum and ending up with product that didn't sell as well as you thought, not to mention being responsible for packaging, shipping and legal garment tags. Totally correct in that doing it this way allows for you to focus less on order packing & shipping logistics and focus more on marketing and growing. Thank you for this video!

Seeing the machines and process lets me know that you know what you are doing and have been doing it for a bit if you’ve worked up to buy or rent all those machines and location!

    Hey, John. This is super super great. You know how they say that when you want something so much, the whole universe conspire to bring it before you? That's the experience here for me. I have just been brooding over a desire I have nursed for the longest time about starting a minimalist fashion brand, and just recently I decided to be more actionable about it. I have had back-and-forth meetings with a designer to come up with unique designs that'll immediately resonate with a potential customer. And now I bumped into this. And it simplifies out a rather tedious process of cut-to-finish-to-fulfilment. Great stuff! However, I'm from Nigeria and one of the challenges I find, especially with T-shirts makers here is fabric quality, and there is no real education readily available that gets out useful information that aspiring fashion influencers or clothe makers can setup with. Would you mind sharing a little on the fabric quality one could get via this process. Thanks so much, Champ.

      Based on this vid and the explanation. You would need less than $100 to start, so as far as business, it's as close to $0 as you can get. What's going to cost? The shopify subscription is about $30 monthly and may get discount as a first time subscriber. The designs and quotes will cost, you can get that done on Fiverr for $5 and they got packages. Then you have to market your store on Facebook ads etc.

    As a fashion designer who went to design school and have 20 yrs of experience working in the garment district in LA, I must say this information is misleading to say the least. Don’t do a disservice to people and mentally set them up for failure by telling them this costs nothing. What you are preaching costs money and experience, and if you don’t have experience you have to pay someone who has experience to get the job done.
    -This is not a cut and sew clothing line but a pre-made t-shirt line, there’s a huge difference. I’m assuming you need to make samples in order to sell the t-shirts right? That costs money, especially if your t-shirt supplier has minimums which you can’t meet.
    -Who is creating your artwork? If you don’t have experience, you need a graphic artist whose has production experience. Mistakes can cost you lots of money and will put you out of business if you’re not mindful.
    -What about design? How would one know how to design a cohesive collection and stay relevant with the constant change of market trends?
    -What about costing and labor prices? You have to have competitive pricing in order to sell to the right demographic, or that’s the end of your business.
    -Shopify costs money also.
    I understand you’re outsourcing and using a production factory to keeping your overhead to a minimum, which is the best way to go.... but don’t mislead people into thinking it doesn’t cost money. It costs money, lots of it sometimes...and if you have no experience you will get hoodwinked like a sucka! The fashion industry is a very dirty and cut throat industry to work in, and most people don’t survive.

    Love the breakdown. I've gradually built my finance and made my first $100k through investing, and with what I’ve learned investing, given enough time, solid investments have the potential to double the initial principal amount, but many investors are instead attracted to the lure of high yields in short periods of time despite the possibility of unattractive losses before even getting out. So the onus is on newbies to beware.

    • @Lfgyf

      @Reyansh BhattAs long as you diversify your portfolio, any single stock that you own shouldn’t have too much of an impact on your overall return. If it does, buying individual stocks might not be the right choice for you, as you can also try out the Roth IRA or I series bonds. Even index funds will fluctuate, so you can’t get rid of all of your risk, try how you might. With guidance, these are achievable. Levi Clemans, a pro Fiduciary oversees my portfolio.
