EVERYONE, THIS MAN IS GOLD!.... been here for a while and just lately i got my trust score up ..following your steps and directions, thank you soooo much....Oh hello there 1shirt=1$/month strategy:)
@@makowshot7347 No you don't, to get your trust score up, make custom and special designs for friends and family and sell the designs to them at the lowest price possible by teespring...you only need few sales to get your trust score up.
Greg it's been two days and I have made so many products including shirts ,tees, mugs,covers etc, and I still haven't got even a single sale or view and even my products aren't being displayed !😭😭😭😭Plus,I can't have my own payoneer account ,Because I am just 19 and still I don't have any bank account ,Please someone help me tackle this I am unable to get any view or sale,Please help,Even I have lowered my cost to make my products got sold,plzzzzz

Q1 make a short video and please explain exclusive and non exclusive sites difference. Q2 if we use teespring, RB, merch by amazon is it good to use spreadshirt, printful or printfy? Q3 few tips from your side to build trust score fast and get traffic from teespring
So I just got placing.just for the months till next month when I upgrade.but I wanted to mess with the merge tools and the mockups and get as many done as possible,as per your advice.👍
Hi Greg, Thank you for the video. The storefront option has disappeared from the teespring. Do you have any info about it? IS there any other option to group the products?
Great question Elaine! Keep in mind the niche storefront is just to be used in the beginning phases for Teespring to get some of your own sales on your account, to get the Trust Score kickstarted, and all the free marketing started. Once you get a few sales on your Teespring account, you no longer need to use storefronts or Instagram at all and you can just upload all types of designs without niches in mind. Merch by Amazon and RedBubble start doing marketing for you from day 1, so you don’t need to drive your own traffic to get a trust score or anything with them. With that said, I think you really only need 1 niche storefront and 1 niche Instagram page to drive traffic to Teespring, but you can have multiple if you'd like.
How many designs should we make before starting a page - if we have too little designs, we'll run of shirts/merch to post if we're posting once everyday (even in taking account if we post non-merch posts
I know I always comment the same thing but your videos aren’t just packed full of excellent info but they are so clear and concise! Hard to believe you barely do any editing! Question for ya~ the niche I’m getting started in is a “cause” niche. I’d like to donate 10% of my sales to this cause. Should I state this on my page? Also, can I post inspo quotes/info perhaps of the related cause?
Hey great question! Yes, that's right about the storefronts, they only allow one now, however we only really need one so it works out. Keep in mind the niche storefront is just to be used in the beginning phases for Teespring to get some of your own sales on your account, to get the Trust Score kickstarted, and all the free marketing started. Once you get a few sales on your Teespring account, you no longer need to use any storefronts or Instagram at all, and you can just upload all types of designs without niches in mind, and they will sell individually. With that said, I think we really only need 1 niche storefront and 1 niche Instagram page to drive traffic to Teespring. I hope that helps!
do you need to get a different trust score for each storefront or once you get it for 1 store all your storefronts will get the marketing benefits ? and placeit has really bad quality on the website does the quality improve after downloading ? or it matter on my own design's px size
Hi Greg, was wondering how I can check to see who is clicking on the storefront link in my bio? You mention this at 19:26. Still working at increasing the likes to my posts, I'm at 5-10 right now but the account is only 3 weeks old.
Hey JP, great question! You can make that link a bit.ly link and then see the clicks on bit.ly's website. Sounds like you are on a good pace for the first 3 weeks though.
I agree with Leul.. I've seen these reviews and I've actually seen one of my customers get a bad print! In the volume they are printing shirts, they can get damaged or have bad prints every once in a while. This will hold true for all pod sites. However the positive thing is that Teespring is on top of this and if any customer gets abad print, Teespring immediately sends them out another shirt and lets them keep the original.
Hi Greg How does it work if I was doing hoodies as well as Tshirt, i.e. With the same designs,do I need a storefront for each, and if so how does the instagram link differentiate between the store fronts. Thanks I'm just confused with it.
Again, my RB strategies not working. I missing a piece of puzzle. Tell me which course on udemy, to buy, to get your help for this?... As you said in the course you help one by one...
Hi Greg, Your teespring tutorials are very useful 😊 I also started my teespring shop and my question is about prices ? How you determine the price of your t- shirt and other products? Do you accept suggestions price from teespring, you go up or down with price? Thanks a lot
4 года назад
Great video! Is kids or newborn clothes a niche? I’m planning to choose of them. Or do I have to be more specific?
Hello Greg, greetings from Italy! Since I'm at home for quarantine I finally have time to do all of this and I'm so excited! I will set it up up starting today, however, I was wondering what you thought about this kind of virus outbreak reflecting on t-shirt sales...I don't believe it will be a target market what is your view on that? This video is awesome by the way! Take care!
Right on! Good luck to you and your family.. I dont think it will even close to affecting print on demand in the amount it affects other businesses. Items can be sold worldwide and we have very low overhead so we can go for as long as we need to without sales without having to shut down our business. Use the extra time we all have now to create more designs ;) However, I do not recommend profiting from any designs related to the virus, I wouldn't recommend it.
Thanks for your content. I've been in business two weeks on Shopify and one week on Teespring, both avenues have dedicated Instagram pages. We've had one sale (from a friend). I've boosted posts and received lots of likes but no further sales. Our target market (photographers and photography enthusiasts) isn't responding. Any advice? Help!
Check the hashtags to make sure they are relevant to your target market. Specific niches are best, as overall general topics can get too "wishy-washy". I hope that helps for now!
I have done as you said , I have over 100 designs and no sales. Do you think that i should open pinterest account? Thank you for all the knowlage you give all the time
hey greg awesome content I am a regular viewer and would appreciate if you answer my Question, I have one question: What do I write in the description of the instagram posts
I would appreciate a video on editing a Teespring storefront's listings. I have tried the "edit" button. My main issue is that my storefront looks like all black tee shirts. I had only chosen 3 colors and would like to add more, along with, nor seeing every listing in the store as the color black first.
Greg, I have a question about hashtags. But first, thanks a ton for all the info you've been putting out! My question is: When looking for hashtags to use in your posts, some hashtags have over 1M posts. Is there a range for the number of posts you'd recommend going for when searching for hashtags to use?
Great question Hamza! I always mix in some of the higher ones (1M+) with some of the smaller ones (10k+) and all sizes in between. This works well because your posts will move down the feed faster on the bigger topics, and the smaller ones will keep your posts at the top for longer.
Greg, I just watched a news story that said the corona virus could shut down the country for months, possibly even lasting into next winter. Since t-shirts are a kind of public display of some sort of personal identity, do you see the pandemic basically making a successful t-shirt business difficult to start right now. I ask this for personal reasons - I need to find an income, having been downsized several months back, and my last unemployment check arriving this week. My main focus has been trying to find a job, but I've also been trying to set up an income independent of an employer. This week I opened an Instagram account to start promoting the first ten shirts I've designed, but I'm wondering if I should focus on something else? Thanks for any advice.
POD doesnt get affected nearly as bad as most businesses because the market is worldwide and the organic traffic to these sites is in the hundreds millions of visits per month. I'd recommend going forward and using this time to build up your offerings while you have the extra time to use. I hope that helps!
Hi Greg, thank you so much for explaining step by step, you are very knowledgeable and I see the passion you have for business. I have a question: How do I make sure the design I just created doesn’t exist already? Is google searching enough? If I google the text from my design and nothing similar shows up that means I am safe using it? Thanks
@@GregGottfried when I go into my teespring account and then go into marketing there is a link for Google. What is that for? Thanks for your response by the way. I appreciate it .
Greg! When it comes to creating an instagram account for your teespring storefront, would it be a good idea to continue building an audience as a sort of investment for free traffic on later projects? Also, is it a good idea to continually change the niche of the Instagram page based on what you need to sell? Would doing that decrease the audience size?
Hi Greg, I started my Teespring business just this past week. I have followed these exact steps you’ve suggested in this video. I have good designs, they’re niche specific and I show model photos on my Instagram but I haven’t made a single sale yet. How long do you think it could be I start seeing some sales come in?
Hey Greg, is it ok to offer a wide choice of products for one design? For example to offer a classic tshirt, a premium tshirt, a classic tank, a premium tank, a triblend tee, a confort tee and a premium v-neck tee for just one design. Do customers like this or they just get confused?
What recourse do you have when someone copies your teeshirt design EXACTLY and starts selling it online? Do we need to copyright our designs to protect them?
Greg; I strted Teespring in Nov, with all your directives, Instagram page, link in BIO, Six dots hashtags comment, Facebook group posts; Pintrest w/some paid Ads, Classifieds, not 1 sale yet, can it be all of my designs suck, I have over 30 and some were done by paid designers on Fivrr. I am @ 50% discouragement, you advisement would would be greatly appreciated..
Hey Eddy, thanks for asking about this! Stay as positive as you can, the beginning is where most people will quit.. It can be your niche(s) being too competitive, have you looked at the niches on Merch Informer? This is how if you need to, use the free 3 day trial to look, no need to pay right now ruclips.net/video/2JI9VCIhPNI/видео.html and definitely make more designs. 30 is a good start but far too low to see organic sales coming through. I recommend a minimum of 50 but realistically aiming for a few hundred. I hope that helps and let me know if you need anything. Stay as positive as you can and let me know if I can help!
Greg, Amazing content you are a fantastic teacher thank you for what you do. Quick question in one of your tutorials you had mentioned when creating a Instagram post you mentioned adding 6 periods while adding the hashtags to create separation, I cannot find which video that was in and I can't quite remember what you said about that, any chance you remember which video you talked about this. Thanks again I appreciate you.
Hi Greg! How are you? I was wondering what your opinion is about dropshipping considering these circumstances (the corona virus). I would love to start but I’m not sure if now is the right time. I already watched a couple of RUclips videos but they all say something else. Hope you respond! x Robin
Greg, thanks to you, I will be opening my first Tee Spring store next week!!! Following your advice, I'll be starting with 200 designs. Once my Tee Spring store is set, then I'll open a Redbubble. My question is, is now a good time to open an online store? Should I wait until Covid-19 is in check and things are back to normal? Thank you for all you do!
Now is the BEST time to open an online store! People everywhere are being quarantined or told to work from home, so naturally they're not going outside especially to shop, unless it's for necessities which means a lot more people (customers) will be looking for online alternatives to get what they need without risking their health outside their homes.I just opened my store 2 days ago and I am so excited to see what potential it will have with the Easter holiday and Mothers Day, Father's Day, Graduation, etc. all coming up in the next few weeks/months! Good luck with your store! :)
@@markotropoja1055 Yes I started two TeeSpring stores but having trouble getting sales to get my trust score up so TeeSpring will market my products but am constantly watching Greg's videos hoping to find a solution
Great question! I recommend just focusing on hashtags on IG to target the places and niches you want. There's not much else we can do because Teespring will do their role in showing your items to the right people. I hope that helps and makes sense!
If i open a storefront, make an Instagram page for that specific niche, get sales and build my trust score, then if i create a new storefront, does the trust score remain, or i have to make the same process again?
If IG allows you to create a new account with the same email, you can do that too. They did not allow that last I checked so I regularly use new emails.
Hello greg. I want you to know your videos inspired me to start my online business and I'm so excited for it. I'm working on it everytime I can. I'm doing it through teespring, following the step you told me. I just have one question. How many campaigns do you think I have to commit myself to launch before even thinking of giving up? 100? 200? 500? I heard you say many times a couples hundreds but does that mean that you almost sell no shirts until you reach that? How many do you think I should post before expecting to sell one per day for example?
i have a problem , when i design any product i also make 2/3 product with same design . . . .after publishing it show all the product with same design . i want to do like yours one design and all the products with same design dont show particular . . . . . . . please help me
Great question! Click storefonts, the little edit icon in the corner of the storefront thumbnail, products, add products, then uncheck the ones you want to remove from the storefront. When someone clicks on the item that you left in the storefront, it will bring them to the full listing with all the other options that you removed form the storefront.
Hey Greg. So you have been super helpful so far and I thank you for that. Had a question. So in your videos you talk a lot about niches. Thing is, I don't have one specific niche to target, but I do have like 4/5. So should I create seprate storefronts for each niche on Teespring? How do I do that under one account?
Excellent question! Keep in mind the niche storefront is just to be used in the beginning phases for Teespring to get some of your own sales on your account, to get the Trust Score kickstarted, and all the free marketing started. Once you get a few sales on your Teespring account, you no longer need to use storefronts or Instagram at all and you can just upload all types of designs without niches in mind :) Merch by Amazon and RedBubble start doing marketing for you from day 1, so you don’t need to drive your own traffic to get a trust score or anything with them. With that said, I think you really only need 1 niche storefront and 1 niche Instagram page to drive traffic to Teespring.
I haven't been in the Teespring scene in a few years. But now I want to get back into it. Do folks like yourself use FB ads to sell these shirts anymore? I remembered when using PPE ads was almost like printing money, then next was WC ads, then Lookalikes, etc..
Thanks for asking! Nope, I dont use them at all anymore, too expensive and saturated of a marketplace (even with LL targeting). This video will explain a bit more: ruclips.net/video/kwdumLDMmho/видео.html
Quick question - if you already have a business Instagram page that just shares inspirational quotes, can you just hitchhike on that account, or do you need to create a new account?
Good morning Greg, how are you today? I was looking at my T spring settings on my first couple items and have a question about the Boosted Network cost. I set my first prices to a slim margin, however my concern is the cost of Boosted promotion. If my profit margin is set low am I endanger of the items not making money or costing me more than my profit will cover.
Hey Jeff, thanks for asking! Yes and no. You'll only be able to partake in the boosted network (and their other marketing efforts) if you profit margin is large enough to account for their additional cost. With that said, it's on a listing basis, not an account wide basis. Small margins can help get initial sales because the cost is lower, but having at least a $7 margin is going to be helpful long run to get all their marketing efforts.
@@GregGottfried Thanks Greg, the virus issue has allowed me to start doing more online, I was able to put together a handful of items and am setting up my first Pinterest pin now. I don't show up yet in the search without sales at tee spring but hopeful Pinterest will get me in front of the right people. Thanks again.
I have launch my tshirt campaign on teespring for almost 2 weeks now. I did promoting with posting on insta daily with all 30 hashtags. I am still not getting any sales. Even if 1 sales I will be glad for starter. Need you guide and help please. Thank you.
Please I need your advice, my account got deactivated on teepublic for violating their terms, at the time I've accrued over $40, would I get paid in the next pay cycle ??
Hie Greg I started an instagram account for my storefront. The mockups are doing well with the views but the profile visits and website clicks are still really really low. How can I increase the website clicks? How long does it take to get the first sale?
Hi Greg..My Teespring store front is not a particular niche so can I still do a instagram account and how would I market it.I have a variety of tshirt designs on there ranging from Christmas designs to gym and pet lovers designs but i just put them all under one name.Also how do you transfer particular niche type t-shirts into different store fronts so they are not all under one umbrella like mine is.I couldn't find any means of doing it in the settings and I couldn't find any youtube videos on it either.Thanks
No worries! You create separate storefronts then click edit o the storefront thumbnail, then products, then add products, and you check the items you want to include in that particular storefront :)
@Jonny Miky agreed, that's why I was asking. I get more sales from Facebook groups than Instagram, my Instagram page gets lots of attention but fb groups are better 😉 . Thanks.
Great question! You can use any that you like :) I've tried a lot of them an IG was the best performer. Keep in mind the audience demographics and purchasing power on each platform.
Hi Greg, thanks for the video appreciate the effort of making & sharing to the world. Just curious what's your take on REDBUBBLE, I am struggle to bring traffic there or get search. Do u have strategy on how to use TAG properly & get search ?
Hi Greg, another great video again. Thanks for that. I recently Purchased your Udemy course about selling shirts via Teespring and promoting them via Instagram. A question about this course, how can I contact you in person about my progress? Can you for example please review my Storefront/Shirt Designs/Instagram posts? Can you guide me to my first sales? Thanks 🙏🏻
Hi greg, what would you recommend to use in letting people know of your promotions? I doubt Teespring will be able to provide this level of marketing for its contributors?
Thanks for asking! Try again with another email :) Not everyone gets accepted first try since they get so many applications per day. Many people get in on the 2nd or 3rd.
Thanks for asking! It's more of an example account now. It served it's purpose plenty times over to get the first sales on teespring it was kept alive for a while to keep getting extra traffic but not needed.
Hi Greg - big fan here. Could you recommend another model site besides Placeit? They´re great but I need some good butt models and they have only ONE such. My designs are designed to be on the rump. thanks
Hey Kai, thanks for asking! THat's a great question! I dont actually have another site to personally recommend for that.. I wish I did but I dont want to pint you in a direction I haven't been myself!
Hello, Greg, With the VIDOC-19 crisis, I'm curious to know your impressions of business in these uncertain times. In your opinion, would it be morally acceptable to create and try to sell designs that deal with topics such as corona viruses? Of course I'm talking about tasteful designs (not dodgy jokes).
Thanks for asking Richard! I dont think it will even close to affecting print on demand in the amount if affects other businesses. Items can be sold worldwide and we have very low overhead so we can go for as long as we need to without sales without having to shut down our business. Use the extra time we all have now to create more design ;) However, I do not recommend profiting from any designs related to the virus, I wouldn't recommend it.

Amazing video thank you Greg!
So if you want to sell in the more then one niches you have to create more then one teespring account ?
Hey Greg, teespring has really bad reviews on quality... have you noticed any negative impact from this?
There will always be bad reviews. What I suggest is to order your tshirt and try it out yourself.. to check their quality!!!
I agree with Leul.. I've seen these reviews and I've actually seen one of my customers get a bad print! In the volume they are printing shirts, they can get damaged or have bad prints every once in a while. This will hold true for all pod sites. However the positive thing is that Teespring is on top of this and if any customer gets abad print, Teespring immediately sends them out another shirt and lets them keep the original.
Hi Greg
How does it work if I was doing hoodies as well as Tshirt, i.e. With the same designs,do I need a storefront for each, and if so how does the instagram link differentiate between the store fronts.
Thanks I'm just confused with it.
Again, my RB strategies not working. I missing a piece of puzzle.
Tell me which course on udemy, to buy, to get your help for this?... As you said in the course you help one by one...
What system, software or apps do you use/recommend for keeping track of all (obviously a lot) Log ins, Passwords, pins etc.... .???
Hi Greg,
Your teespring tutorials are very useful 😊
I also started my teespring shop and my question is about prices ?
How you determine the price of your t- shirt and other products? Do you accept suggestions price from teespring, you go up or down with price?
Thanks a lot
Great video! Is kids or newborn clothes a niche? I’m planning to choose of them. Or do I have to be more specific?
Do you have to have a shoptifyb account to each teespting account?
Hi Greg, please can you throw little light on how I can transfer my designs from teespring to merch by Amazon?
Hello Greg, greetings from Italy! Since I'm at home for quarantine I finally have time to do all of this and I'm so excited! I will set it up up starting today, however, I was wondering what you thought about this kind of virus outbreak reflecting on t-shirt sales...I don't believe it will be a target market what is your view on that? This video is awesome by the way! Take care!
Right on! Good luck to you and your family.. I dont think it will even close to affecting print on demand in the amount it affects other businesses. Items can be sold worldwide and we have very low overhead so we can go for as long as we need to without sales without having to shut down our business. Use the extra time we all have now to create more designs ;) However, I do not recommend profiting from any designs related to the virus, I wouldn't recommend it.
@@GregGottfried Yes will do and please take care! : )
Thank you Greg! Is Redbubble better than Dribbble or Zazzle? Do you think I can do all of them?
Thanks for your content. I've been in business two weeks on Shopify and one week on Teespring, both avenues have dedicated Instagram pages. We've had one sale (from a friend). I've boosted posts and received lots of likes but no further sales. Our target market (photographers and photography enthusiasts) isn't responding. Any advice? Help!
change designs and work with photography instagram infleuncers
Check the hashtags to make sure they are relevant to your target market. Specific niches are best, as overall general topics can get too "wishy-washy". I hope that helps for now!
I have done as you said , I have over 100 designs and no sales. Do you think that i should open pinterest account? Thank you for all the knowlage you give all the time
hey greg awesome content I am a regular viewer and would appreciate if you answer my Question, I have one question: What do I write in the description of the instagram posts
I would appreciate a video on editing a Teespring storefront's listings. I have tried the "edit" button. My main issue is that my storefront looks like all black tee shirts. I had only chosen 3 colors and would like to add more, along with, nor seeing every listing in the store as the color black first.
There is a How Would You Like Your Customers To See choice when you publish. If you don´t choose they will choose for you. Hope that helps.
What is the best time to post,
What is your suggestion about yoga nich
Greg, I have a question about hashtags. But first, thanks a ton for all the info you've been putting out!
My question is: When looking for hashtags to use in your posts, some hashtags have over 1M posts. Is there a range for the number of posts you'd recommend going for when searching for hashtags to use?
Great question Hamza! I always mix in some of the higher ones (1M+) with some of the smaller ones (10k+) and all sizes in between. This works well because your posts will move down the feed faster on the bigger topics, and the smaller ones will keep your posts at the top for longer.
@@GregGottfried That makes sense, highly appreciate the help!
Greg, I just watched a news story that said the corona virus could shut down the country for months, possibly even lasting into next winter. Since t-shirts are a kind of public display of some sort of personal identity, do you see the pandemic basically making a successful t-shirt business difficult to start right now. I ask this for personal reasons - I need to find an income, having been downsized several months back, and my last unemployment check arriving this week. My main focus has been trying to find a job, but I've also been trying to set up an income independent of an employer. This week I opened an Instagram account to start promoting the first ten shirts I've designed, but I'm wondering if I should focus on something else? Thanks for any advice.
POD doesnt get affected nearly as bad as most businesses because the market is worldwide and the organic traffic to these sites is in the hundreds millions of visits per month. I'd recommend going forward and using this time to build up your offerings while you have the extra time to use. I hope that helps!
Hi Greg, thank you so much for explaining step by step, you are very knowledgeable and I see the passion you have for business.
I have a question: How do I make sure the design I just created doesn’t exist already? Is google searching enough? If I google the text from my design and nothing similar shows up that means I am safe using it?
Thanks
Hi bro
3,26 Same design in all 3 sites
How to do this bro
Hello! Can we use Instagram shop to sell our products on tee-spring?
Could you please please please make a video explaining how to connect Google analytics to your teespring account
Hey Richard, it's not a feature anymore unfortunately :(
@@GregGottfried when I go into my teespring account and then go into marketing there is a link for Google. What is that for? Thanks for your response by the way. I appreciate it .
Greg! When it comes to creating an instagram account for your teespring storefront, would it be a good idea to continue building an audience as a sort of investment for free traffic on later projects?
Also, is it a good idea to continually change the niche of the Instagram page based on what you need to sell? Would doing that decrease the audience size?
Hi Greg, I started my Teespring business just this past week. I have followed these exact steps you’ve suggested in this video. I have good designs, they’re niche specific and I show model photos on my Instagram but I haven’t made a single sale yet. How long do you think it could be I start seeing some sales come in?
Hey Greg, is it ok to offer a wide choice of products for one design? For example to offer a classic tshirt, a premium tshirt, a classic tank, a premium tank, a triblend tee, a confort tee and a premium v-neck tee for just one design. Do customers like this or they just get confused?
Don't bother. :) Just read a comment from you on your channel. You said it's spammy to upload a design on too many styles. Thank your very much!
Hi Greg,just want to ask if hows business doing especially in this hard times. Would love to see how sales affects t-shirt sales. Thank you
hey greg I have one question: What do I write in the description of the instagram posts?
What recourse do you have when someone copies your teeshirt design EXACTLY and starts selling it online? Do we need to copyright our designs to protect them?
Greg; I strted Teespring in Nov, with all your directives, Instagram page, link in BIO, Six dots hashtags comment, Facebook group posts; Pintrest w/some paid Ads, Classifieds, not 1 sale yet, can it be all of my designs suck, I have over 30 and some were done by paid designers on Fivrr. I am @ 50% discouragement, you advisement would would be greatly appreciated..
Hey Eddy, thanks for asking about this! Stay as positive as you can, the beginning is where most people will quit.. It can be your niche(s) being too competitive, have you looked at the niches on Merch Informer? This is how if you need to, use the free 3 day trial to look, no need to pay right now ruclips.net/video/2JI9VCIhPNI/видео.html and definitely make more designs. 30 is a good start but far too low to see organic sales coming through. I recommend a minimum of 50 but realistically aiming for a few hundred. I hope that helps and let me know if you need anything. Stay as positive as you can and let me know if I can help!
Greg, Amazing content you are a fantastic teacher thank you for what you do. Quick question in one of your tutorials you had mentioned when creating a Instagram post you mentioned adding 6 periods while adding the hashtags to create separation, I cannot find which video that was in and I can't quite remember what you said about that, any chance you remember which video you talked about this. Thanks again I appreciate you.
Thank you again for Placeit link, the best investment ever😍
Right on! I literally say the same thing all the time.. It's a powerhouse of a tool for the low cost..
@@GregGottfried I got today first sale on teepublic because I use Placeit on pinterest 😀
Hi Greg! How are you? I was wondering what your opinion is about dropshipping considering these circumstances (the corona virus). I would love to start but I’m not sure if now is the right time. I already watched a couple of RUclips videos but they all say something else. Hope you respond! x Robin
Thanks for asking Robin! I don't recommend it even without the virus. This will explain more: ruclips.net/video/E4sjSoSeMZ0/видео.html
Greg, thanks to you, I will be opening my first Tee Spring store next week!!! Following your advice, I'll be starting with 200 designs. Once my Tee Spring store is set, then I'll open a Redbubble.
My question is, is now a good time to open an online store? Should I wait until Covid-19 is in check and things are back to normal?
Thank you for all you do!
Now is the BEST time to open an online store! People everywhere are being quarantined or told to work from home, so naturally they're not going outside especially to shop, unless it's for necessities which means a lot more people (customers) will be looking for online alternatives to get what they need without risking their health outside their homes.I just opened my store 2 days ago and I am so excited to see what potential it will have with the Easter holiday and Mothers Day, Father's Day, Graduation, etc. all coming up in the next few weeks/months! Good luck with your store! :)
@@nolimitZ2K Thanks for your reply! What you say makes sense. Good luck with your store!!
Have u start your online store? How is it going so far?
@@markotropoja1055 Yes I started two TeeSpring stores but having trouble getting sales to get my trust score up so TeeSpring will market my products but am constantly watching Greg's videos hoping to find a solution
@Greg Gottfried how can i target the US market on Tee spring? Should do i change my location from uk to US? What is your take on this? Thanks
Great question! I recommend just focusing on hashtags on IG to target the places and niches you want. There's not much else we can do because Teespring will do their role in showing your items to the right people. I hope that helps and makes sense!
Great video
Do you have a link for the mobile apps for apple and android that you mentioned in your other video about design creations?
Sure, they are Typorama and Wordswag :)
If i open a storefront, make an Instagram page for that specific niche, get sales and build my trust score, then if i create a new storefront, does the trust score remain, or i have to make the same process again?
Hey Greg! Will this work for Indians markets?
how about to add both mockup and t shirt pic on our feed
Sure can :)
Why you said to do a new email for new instagram profile ? I created that as a secondary account using my usual mail?
If IG allows you to create a new account with the same email, you can do that too. They did not allow that last I checked so I regularly use new emails.
@@GregGottfried thaaaankssss
Hello greg. I want you to know your videos inspired me to start my online business and I'm so excited for it. I'm working on it everytime I can. I'm doing it through teespring, following the step you told me. I just have one question. How many campaigns do you think I have to commit myself to launch before even thinking of giving up? 100? 200? 500? I heard you say many times a couples hundreds but does that mean that you almost sell no shirts until you reach that? How many do you think I should post before expecting to sell one per day for example?
i have a problem , when i design any product i also make 2/3 product with same design . . . .after publishing it show all the product with same design . i want to do like yours one design and all the products with same design dont show particular . . . . . . . please help me
Great question! Click storefonts, the little edit icon in the corner of the storefront thumbnail, products, add products, then uncheck the ones you want to remove from the storefront. When someone clicks on the item that you left in the storefront, it will bring them to the full listing with all the other options that you removed form the storefront.
@@GregGottfried OK GOT IT . . . . .THANKS AND STAY SAFE
@@GregGottfried thats cool , thank you
Hey Greg. So you have been super helpful so far and I thank you for that.
Had a question. So in your videos you talk a lot about niches. Thing is, I don't have one specific niche to target, but I do have like 4/5. So should I create seprate storefronts for each niche on Teespring? How do I do that under one account?
Excellent question! Keep in mind the niche storefront is just to be used in the beginning phases for Teespring to get some of your own sales on your account, to get the Trust Score kickstarted, and all the free marketing started. Once you get a few sales on your Teespring account, you no longer need to use storefronts or Instagram at all and you can just upload all types of designs without niches in mind :) Merch by Amazon and RedBubble start doing marketing for you from day 1, so you don’t need to drive your own traffic to get a trust score or anything with them. With that said, I think you really only need 1 niche storefront and 1 niche Instagram page to drive traffic to Teespring.
I haven't been in the Teespring scene in a few years. But now I want to get back into it. Do folks like yourself use FB ads to sell these shirts anymore? I remembered when using PPE ads was almost like printing money, then next was WC ads, then Lookalikes, etc..
Thanks for asking! Nope, I dont use them at all anymore, too expensive and saturated of a marketplace (even with LL targeting). This video will explain a bit more: ruclips.net/video/kwdumLDMmho/видео.html
Quick question - if you already have a business Instagram page that just shares inspirational quotes, can you just hitchhike on that account, or do you need to create a new account?
So redbubble does not have anything like trust score or tier system?
That's right :)
Good morning Greg, how are you today? I was looking at my T spring settings on my first couple items and have a question about the Boosted Network cost. I set my first prices to a slim margin, however my concern is the cost of Boosted promotion. If my profit margin is set low am I endanger of the items not making money or costing me more than my profit will cover.
Hey Jeff, thanks for asking! Yes and no. You'll only be able to partake in the boosted network (and their other marketing efforts) if you profit margin is large enough to account for their additional cost. With that said, it's on a listing basis, not an account wide basis. Small margins can help get initial sales because the cost is lower, but having at least a $7 margin is going to be helpful long run to get all their marketing efforts.
@@GregGottfried Thanks Greg, the virus issue has allowed me to start doing more online, I was able to put together a handful of items and am setting up my first Pinterest pin now. I don't show up yet in the search without sales at tee spring but hopeful Pinterest will get me in front of the right people. Thanks again.
I have launch my tshirt campaign on teespring for almost 2 weeks now. I did promoting with posting on insta daily with all 30 hashtags. I am still not getting any sales. Even if 1 sales I will be glad for starter. Need you guide and help please. Thank you.
please show us how you make t-shirts and design
Here's a video on it ruclips.net/video/_iQnOSbMtc8/видео.html
Can I start making a brand instead of specific niche on tee spring or amazon or red bubble
Please I need your advice, my account got deactivated on teepublic for violating their terms, at the time I've accrued over $40, would I get paid in the next pay cycle ??
Hie Greg
I started an instagram account for my storefront. The mockups are doing well with the views but the profile visits and website clicks are still really really low. How can I increase the website clicks? How long does it take to get the first sale?
improve your CTA, and days to months, different for everyone ;)
@@tobiasottinger5200 thanks will try to be creative about it 👍
Can you link an IG account as an example please?
Sure! Check out Live Co Clothing :)
Hi Greg..My Teespring store front is not a particular niche so can I still do a instagram account and how would I market it.I have a variety of tshirt designs on there ranging from Christmas designs to gym and pet lovers designs but i just put them all under one name.Also how do you transfer particular niche type t-shirts into different store fronts so they are not all under one umbrella like mine is.I couldn't find any means of doing it in the settings and I couldn't find any youtube videos on it either.Thanks
No worries! You create separate storefronts then click edit o the storefront thumbnail, then products, then add products, and you check the items you want to include in that particular storefront :)
I think should add an intro song or something to your videos. It will look cool
Thanks for the tip Nawaz!
Hi Greg, do you still recommend TeeChip? I noticed you left them out
So is Instagram the only social media that you use? I would think there would be more.
@Jonny Miky agreed, that's why I was asking. I get more sales from Facebook groups than Instagram, my Instagram page gets lots of attention but fb groups are better 😉 . Thanks.
Great question! You can use any that you like :) I've tried a lot of them an IG was the best performer. Keep in mind the audience demographics and purchasing power on each platform.
Hi Greg, thanks for the video appreciate the effort of making & sharing to the world. Just curious what's your take on REDBUBBLE, I am struggle to bring traffic there or get search. Do u have strategy on how to use TAG properly & get search ?
Hi Greg, another great video again. Thanks for that. I recently Purchased your Udemy course about selling shirts via Teespring and promoting them via Instagram. A question about this course, how can I contact you in person about my progress? Can you for example please review my Storefront/Shirt Designs/Instagram posts? Can you guide me to my first sales? Thanks 🙏🏻
Hi greg, what would you recommend to use in letting people know of your promotions? I doubt Teespring will be able to provide this level of marketing for its contributors?
Great question. You can but it's usually not very effective. Unless you have a large following of loyal people, it's not very effective.
Hi Greg, I got declined by Amazon Merch after I watched your video o how to apply to them. What do I do now?
Thanks for asking! Try again with another email :) Not everyone gets accepted first try since they get so many applications per day. Many people get in on the 2nd or 3rd.
Greg Gottfried Thank you.
Hei Greg, why you don't update your yoga shop on Instagram anymore?
Thanks for asking! It's more of an example account now. It served it's purpose plenty times over to get the first sales on teespring it was kept alive for a while to keep getting extra traffic but not needed.
Hi Greg - big fan here. Could you recommend another model site besides Placeit? They´re great but I need some good butt models and they have only ONE such. My designs are designed to be on the rump. thanks
Hey Kai, thanks for asking! THat's a great question! I dont actually have another site to personally recommend for that.. I wish I did but I dont want to pint you in a direction I haven't been myself!
Hello, Greg,
With the VIDOC-19 crisis, I'm curious to know your impressions of business in these uncertain times. In your opinion, would it be morally acceptable to create and try to sell designs that deal with topics such as corona viruses? Of course I'm talking about tasteful designs (not dodgy jokes).
Thanks for asking Richard! I dont think it will even close to affecting print on demand in the amount if affects other businesses. Items can be sold worldwide and we have very low overhead so we can go for as long as we need to without sales without having to shut down our business. Use the extra time we all have now to create more design ;) However, I do not recommend profiting from any designs related to the virus, I wouldn't recommend it.
