Yep, those will work. Didn't know if there were ones I hadn't heard of that were better/cheaper.
Thanks for the reply.

This is what initially got me into Internet Marketing, a t-shirt design I made was reposted on a large blog I made about 100 sales in 12 hours. I don't play those peasant games anymore, but you can make a couple bucks if you can put it together.
Cafepress and Spreadshirt are two comparable services for hands off dropshipping, you provide design and marketing, they do everything else. You pay for it in the margins though.
Use these services as proof of concept. If the shirts sell on there, reinvest and scale accordingly to lessen risk.

The problem with CafePress and similar is the quality is pathetic.
Wash the shirt once and the design is faded beyond recognition. This will prevent you from getting reorders and expanding to other styles if you are trying to build a viable business.
If you are looking to do private label high quality shirts let me know and I can help you make it happen. Minimum orders of less then 300-500 mean much higher per piece pricing but will allow you to feel out if it will work.
I own several clothing lines and can help you make this happen if you are serious about it.

I like your hustle bro, disqualify your competitor by over exaggeration; nice negative selling.
He's not exaggerating..
My custom cafepress shirt after just 2 washes..
Are you sure you didn't buy the hyper-color edition bro?
I don't understand why people keep recommending something like Cafepress. Say I sell a $20 shirt, they'll pay me $2 per sale, plus like 10% commission. So I make 4 bucks a shirt. That's TERRIBLE margins compared to selling your own stuff.
I mean I understand the whole customer service and shipping have to be taken into account, but I still don't think that is that much of a headache to make losing out on the margins worth it.
I've been debating getting into the T-Shirt biz, but I'd like to hear other's thoughts.

People promote $1.25 CPA and make xxx,xxx a year? Will it be easy? No fucking way Jose, you'd need to have your shit together. I literally know nothing in this vertical however, only over exaggeration.
If I remember correctly it's Molly Murder from KWD.

I was just speaking in general btw.
But yeah I get that with CPA, but if something is successful and profitable at $4, why not just forward integrate your biz and produce the shirts as well and double or triple your margins? It's not like doing that has a high barrier to entry...
That's thinking like a business man, my man my man, affiliate crowd seems more like a churn and burn crowd, not hating it.
I had a Cafepress shop that was in their top 20 popularity at one point. It did around $100k in sales in a little over a year (with about 20% profit). One trendy, simple design that took me about 10min did the majority of the sales. I didn't have to worry about packaging & shipping, customer support, returns (these can be HUGE with clothing due to sizing issues), charge backs, fraud (another huge headache), etc.
My advice is to use Cafepress as a launching pad to see if your designs even sell before you go out and buy up a bunch of t-shirts, build a site, merchant account, etc. There are literally 1,000 of t-shirt stores online. You need something very unique that nobody else is selling or just ride a trend like I did.
Cafepress is a $250M publicly traded company with branding, trust and millions of customers within it's marketplace that you won't get if you go on your own. BustedTees does extremely well because it's owned by Collegehumor and already has that audience built-in to market to.
The t-shirt biz is extremely competitive online and unless you get lucky and hit it big virally you'll need a huge advertising budget to compete.
Lol, pure coincidence.. If you notice I posted this thread before he posted his. Ironic.
Thx for the replies and insights. I'm actually not considering going solely into the t-shirt biz, just considering using them to promote a site I'm working on. A lack of cool shirts in the niche, passionate follwers of the topic at hand, an easy KW, and the fact that it would be really easy to make some catchy slogans in the niche make me think it's a good avenue.
Testing demand with cafepress and moving forward from there seems like the obvious way to go about it, but I probably wouldn't have thought about it if it wasn't suggested. So..thx again.
You should check Mens and Womens Fashion Apparel, Designer T Shirts, Accessories and Footwear you can upload your own designs and get the t-shirt you want.bustedtees.com also another good option.
