ok i understand about the online side of things but how do i sell them at local stores i think that would be much more profitable in my country should i just go to the store with a sample and meet with their manager?
100% I agree, this is more entertaining than real. Also, print-on-demand doesn't have the quality capabilities to start a legitimate clothing line with a brand. Can't risk that. You gotta build your own network for factories etc..
I like the process, however, you did have an advantage starting out. Most people watching might not already have a TikTok with an already established brand, niche, target audience, and following. The fact that you did gave you a major advantage with a larger following (900K+), even though you didn't make as many sales the first week. Therefore, some folks might fight it very difficult to do advertising unless they use marketplaces like Etsy. I guess the risk with that is being compared to the competition. Overall, you gave a very clear process and approach to starting a print on demand business.
It’s still very possible to gain an internet following for your business. Very similar to how mini katana markets their business with a RUclips channel
Social media isn't hard once you get the hang of it you just need patience. Look at what videos your target audience looks at and mimic them while throwing your product into the mix. make sure to add a little twist or gimmick so you can stand out from your competition, so have fun experimenting. Also take advantage of social media trends if people in your niche are doing a trend ride the wave for views. If you have extra money, you can pay bigger accounts in your niche to promote you to speed up the process. if you do all this you will definitely gain a decent following if you're consistent with it. The best way to be consistent is do a niche you actually enjoy so you dont get burnt out when views and sales are low. If you're just doing this to make a lot of money you're not going to get too far actually having a passion for the subject matter goes a long way.
@@デスティンウォーターズ Zhe used his following as an advantage…. Most people starting out aren’t going to have that…and let alone grow a fan base just to make clothes…
The best thing about your videos is the honesty. Integrity in this space is lacking to much hype and to many fake it till you make it characters out there. You’ve shown us the process but also the pitfalls not to mention the REALITY. Keep up the good work
So this was super amazing and perfect for me! I needed the process simplified because I had gotten stuck after creating a design and wondering how can I go from here to selling in the most efficient way being a startup clothing line. Thank you so so much!
bro he gives the answer which i AM searching for years................ now i can start my own business in few years ...thanks A LOT BROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO................
Thank you for actually taking the steps necessary in showing that you need to test your products. Most people skip that step when telling their "starting my own business" story. I started my first business and began selling (in person sales, online soon) about two weeks ago and have sold about 40 scented candles. Looking forward to the future. Great job 👍👌
It's important that teachers don't put unrealistic expectations in their students heads, I like the transparency. This was a great video, Jensen. Thank you.
Hey I respect that you actually showed the realistic results of starting a shopify store rather than all these gurus showing their "14 days result" with thousands of dollars made trying to sell you their shopify course lol.
Authentic master you are, showing true result of your sales, truely 2 items is great than 200 item in 7 days but just a hoax that usually showing by youtuber guru that offer online course...
@@Soy64VFX Facts. Had one randomly pop through last night and three more this morning. Haven't spent a dime on advertising either. Wasn't even ready yet lol
Loved the video!💕 Just started my comic book collection and found Toon Haven. They offer a huge variety of digital comics for every genre, and lifetime updates too!😍
Wow! Thanks for the insight! I was actually in the process of using "car enthusiasts" as a niche. I had no idea of the possible outcomes until i saw your video. It was nice to see you made sales with just organic ads. I wonder how you would do if you actually paid for ads tho? Do you have a video on that?
Man you are talking about your audience and free samples. Relate to reality! That’s what helps young entrepreneurs 😎 I don’t hate you as you say, I just think think that people need to learn the right way. The only people who Benefitted from this video are you and the printing company!
I stated in the video that people do not need samples to move onto the next steps. People don't need to do their own photo shoots and can use the mockup photos that Printful supplies (which even I used). The reality is, in business, there will always be some sort of costs. If not at the beginning, it'll come later on as their business grows.
@@jensentung I agree my man. It’s just I opened the video expecting something and I found something else. But any way, thank you for the content. I wish best of luck as well as me.
Wow Jensen, I am shocked! Your is simply stunning. Your talent and dedication to your craft are truly inspiring. Keep up the great work and keep sharing your amazing content with the world. I can't wait to see what you come up with next!
Thank you for this video I've really been struggling with my brand lately I may have great design ideas in mind but on the Marketing side marketing the product and selling it to the consumer is especially the hard part your right things take time to build it isn't built overnight and you don't make it big overnight it takes progress and commitment towards your brand and passion and that's what I've been missing out...
One of the first things… What I learned from getting a MC question wrong in a class I got the highest grade on every exam - THE first thing to consider when you start a business is how you’re going to sell the product. In person/vending machines/online sales, mail order with printed catalog… whatever. Seriously - you identified your market and really scored getting the company to sponsor your video. Idc about total sales in 7 days. You have a business sense I respect, and I’m just a random other business student/lawyer. Nice video.
ok i understand about the online side of things but how do i sell them at local stores i think that would be much more profitable in my country should i just go to the store with a sample and meet with their manager?
Getting the website on google will take you 2 hours. Creating a Brand, understanding your niche, learning half the adobe suite to set a theme for your brand (from website and social images, to the color grading you use for a video), tailoring your website to that niche, to the email forms, to the terms you use in your campaigns takes months to get off the ground. That is what creates a Brand, not a business, that you sell clothes on etsy with.
Small businesses encounter specific challenges, such as limited resources, changing market demands, and competition from larger companies. To succeed, business owners need to be strategic, innovative, and prioritize their customers. With the right strategies, small businesses can find their niche, provide outstanding value, and achieve sustainable growth over time.
its indeed a very informative video for the beginners. As we have been manufacturing customized clothing for many brands in USA and Europe since 2007 most of our clients really need to know this information. wish you Goodluck with your new future venture. if you can share what exactly you are trying to launch we might give you more insight regarding that project.
@@xtonx-theofficialbeechslay1575 yes, if the owner of that specific artwork finds you and also if he has copyrights of that artwork. but most of the times it is not the case and a lot of clothing owners do minor modifications in artwork and they should be fine.
I am so thankful that I stumbled upon this video as I'm in the process of rebranding and can't wait to get started. You definitely provided me a structure and guideline on how I should go about it. Thank you so much for what you do! 🙏🏽
I really love this youtube channel frfr, like how you legit show the full process and motivate me so much I just wish you extending the challenge result e.g you did a 7 day challenge then you got the results from 14 days and 30 days I would love if you including this idea thanks Ieuan!
The video is an Add for printful, pretty clever. printful however is very expensive the margins will be thin. a hoodie is like $34 which leaves you very little space for profit
Great video. Curious how you were able to offer free shipping to customers? Did you just reimburse them afterwards? Also, would be really cool to see you do this without using an existing following, and solely using FB or google ads with a reasonable spend budget. Thanks.
Loved the vid, don't know why I'm not subscribed. I've personally been growing a few Instagram profiles, in hopes of advertising. This is definitely an Idea set worth improving and thinkings further on
please answer me in detail. Where do I get the clothes that I sell in my brand or that i want to print my designs on it ? from where i get all types of clothes ,I mean all kinds of clothes, from hoodies, T-shirts, shirts, etc., where do I get them from and where do I buy them, knowing that I am from outside the Americas, please answer
This gives me hope!! Yes you had resources, but you truly didn't spend any money. If you were to, I bet you'd blow up even more! So people like me with an income but no big following do have a chance! I live in a local town where everyone knows everyone, so I think I can personally sell it!

ok i understand about the online side of things but how do i sell them at local stores i think that would be much more profitable in my country should i just go to the store with a sample and meet with their manager?
Getting a sponsor defeats the purpose of starting with 0$, but i still really enjoyed this video, since its all simplified
Yea

HOLY yapping
Ok so not really free. You used your following to get free samples and sales from your TikTok.
Use whatever u have, except spending tho
you don't actually need the samples.
For the samples he could have used only pictures, you don’t personally Need to have the product to get it going
Yh lol
a sponsorship isn’t really accesible to everyone 😂😂
That's really awesome you took this challenge. Starting a business is stressful, but you made it look, simple.
cause he semi famous
@@gnio4880 yeah so maybe learn a little something about one of the most important businesses in the modern era: Personal Branding…

You’re definitely great at sales because you sold me to your channel. Thanks for your story it’s humbling and inspirational.
Curious to know if you're still doing this clothing line and how many sales do you have now?

What if the design was imitated by other stores? Do you need to register this business and at what point?
go take a look for local brand in Vietnam. im sure they are super cool and they could inspire you alot.
Definitely gonna give this a try. I'm hoping the editing tools are sophisticated yet easy to use
Amazing video but don’t you still have too pay for a plan and domain
Thanks for sharing this, truly excellent content!
The video is an Add for printful, pretty clever.
printful however is very expensive the margins will be thin.
a hoodie is like $34 which leaves you very little space for profit
