selling t-shirts online

However, one of the biggest problems I've been seeing is people starting out doing everything. Exactly, correct

But not getting t-shirt sales yet. The main strategies that I talk about on this channel. They are long term strategies

Yes, I do think they're the best strategies

But they take time so this video is going to be specifically for those of you who are looking to get quick t-shirt sales

So that you can see that these strategies really do work

Now as you guys know my style in these videos is to get straight to the point

But I want to make one quick announcement before we get started for all of you guys who have been subscribed to this channel

I want to give you a very big thank you. The channel has just passed

100,000 subscribers, which is absolutely insane, and then it's all thanks to you guys

Thank you guys so much from the bottom of my heart

It means a lot to see this channel growing that big and as always if you guys need anything at all or have video

Suggestions leave them down in the comments and I'll help you out with that being said

Let's go ahead and get started with the first tip on how to sell t-shirts fast

The first tip here that has worked for me for years

If you want to get quick t-shirt sales is to find and follow trends now

There are a couple different ways that you can use to find trends

The first one is probably easiest it's going to be when you're on social media. Whether that's Instagram Facebook Twitter Pinterest

You see things that start to come up as a pattern now

Yes, this is going to be a good way to find things that are going viral

However, typically by the time you see it

it may be a little bit too late to create t-shirt designs and actually profit from this so this brings us to the way that

I personally like to use to find trends

This is called Google

Trends what Google Trends is going to allow you to do is see trends before they hit the masses

Google Trends will show you based on Google searches. What is breaking out?

what is becoming very popular very quickly and you can

Instantly as it's happening

what this allows you to do is find trends that look like they would be good for t-shirts and you could create designs on and

Make designs about them before it goes viral

Now this brings us right into the second tip and this is making sure that you are finding good niches now

Yes in my experience over the last few years

It definitely holds true that you can create great designs in any niche no matter how competitive and still get sales on that

However, the more competitive niches typically take a long time for you to even break into them and start seeing sales

So for those of you who are looking to get t-shirt sales fast

You're going to have to find niches that are not very saturated

Now what this means for you is you can create great designs and put them out there with only a few other competitors

So when someone goes and looks for a design, if yours is a good design, you're only competing against a few other people

So your odds of getting that sale are a lot higher now again

there are going to be different tools out there that you can use to find good niches and tell you what the

Competition is looking like however, the one that I personally use is called merchants former

they have a

Competition checker tool and they even offer a free trial so you can go try it for free and you can find your first few

niches completely for free without paying

The reason that I recommend merchants former for this is because it's specifically for print on men and t-shirts

It's not taking the entire Google search engine search data. It's only taking print-on-demand search data additionally

You don't have to read between any lines some of the other tools. You're going to get full search data

So you have to kind of figure out what that means for t-shirts

however

With the competition checker on merchants former

You just type in the niche that you are considering and it'll give you a score a or F if it's eight

That means it's a good grade go forward with it. If it's an F. That means you should probably skip it

It's too competitive and then to make it even better

Once you find a niche that you like that has an a score you can scroll down and find the current top 10 best selling

designs in that niche

These will give you inspiration

For creating your own designs and show you who you are competing against now

The third tip I have for you is a really big tip and that is to hire

Influencers if you're looking to sell t-shirts fast now typically I'm not one to recommend spending money on paid

Advertising especially if it's paid Facebook ads or paid Instagram ads

However, if you're looking to get sales fast, you may need to spend a little money on advertising now

I definitely still stand behind not paying for Facebook ads or Instagram ads as a beginner

However, if you are going to spend money on advertising in my experience the best way that you can spend it

Especially as a beginner is on an influencer in your niche

Briefly how this works is you go on to any social media platform?

and you find people with big accounts in that niche that you are making your design in you can reach out to them in a

Number of different ways. You may have to direct message them

you may have to find their business email and contact them there or you can go to their website and find a contact form and

Just know that when you reach out to these influencers, they get a ton of messages every day

So you can expect somewhere around 10 percent of them to respond and it may take a few days until you get that response

however

the idea here is you ask them for their rates of how much it costs for them to feature one of your posts on their

Page to their audience now if you're starting out as a beginner try not to spend anything over $20.00

I know it can be very tempting and very easy to find a really big page and they ask a high number because they have

a huge following in your specific niche

However, as a beginner as you're just starting here

I don't recommend swinging for the fences and spending a lot of money right at the start now with that said since the response rate

From the influencers is generally going to be pretty low. You may need to reach out to quite a few

So if you reach out to 10 or 20 different

influencers that may yield just a few of them responding to you and that way you have a couple options to choose from

Now once you've gone through these first three tips you found trends that you could potentially make designs on you've looked to find good niches

And you found influencers in those niches now, it's time to move into tip number four

The fourth tip is making sure that your designs are actually good the vast majority of sellers completely overlooked this one

It's very easy to think that just at first glance. Your designs are good enough to be bought

however

When you look at the other designs you're competing against you have to make sure that your designs are as good or better than theirs

This can easily become the hardest part because you have to be really honest with yourself

You're the one creating the designs and if you ask family members or friends how it looks

They're almost always going to say it looks good, because they don't want to say anything that could potentially hurt your feelings

so you have to make sure that you are looking at your designs and

analyzing them against the competitors to make sure that they are actually

Good enough to be bought if you do all of these other tips, but you don't have good designs

No one is going to buy them with that being said also make sure that you're not using any copyrighted content in your design

So no brand logos, no song lyrics no

We quotes and nothing that could potentially get you in trouble or get your design taken down again

If you do all the other steps, but your design gets removed

You won't be getting any sales now for those of you guys who watch other videos on this channel, you know

I'm always talking about placeit dotnet

That is my personal

Primary design tool and that's the tool that I would recommend for all of you guys to use that is going to yield great designs

That you can build off of their templates and the best part is everything that you create on

There is fully commercially usable this way. You don't have to worry at all about copyright infringement and getting your design taken down now

Yes place it is a paid tool. So you do have to pay to use it

However, I'll leave a link down in the description

They have free templates that you can choose from where you don't have to pay for your subscription

So if you don't have one yet or you can't afford one

You can choose from the free templates just know that it will be a lot more limited than having a full membership

But if you don't have a big budget to spend and you need to hire an influencer

That's the only thing you can afford then you can use the free templates on place it and that'll at least get you started now

We're almost done here. We're down to the last tip. This is number 5

This is to make sure that you have good mock-up photos

This is another thing that a lot of people overlook because they don't want to spend the money on place it

Again, you can get free templates for mock-ups from placeit. I'll have a link to that down in the description

However, these mock-ups are essential especially if you're going to be hiring an influencer

If you're not familiar with what?

mock-ups are essentially you create your t-shirt design whether that's created on place it or anywhere else and you can upload it onto a

Model place it's software essentially photo shops that design onto the model shirt onto their mug onto the computer on to thousands of different mock-ups

That you could choose from now the key here is that you take the photos of the mock-ups that look like real people

Wearing your designs and that is the photo that you give to the influencer to post on their page

This is where it comes full-circle when you hire that influencer. They're going to ask you for a post

What is the picture in the caption that you want them to post on their page now?

Most people will just screenshot the shirt that they have for sale and send that to the influencer

However, that is going to be leaving so many t-shirt sales on the table the way you have to think about

This is psychologically if you are an Instagram user and you're on Instagram

Scrolling through and you see a post from someone that you follow but it's just a photo of a t-shirt

You only have a split second for your mind to decide

Do I want to stop and look at this or keep scrolling if it's just a photo of a t-shirt?

You may not even look at who posted it and you'll just scroll right past it because you think it's an advertisement

However, if that's a photo of a mock-up and it shows a person wearing a shirt with a caption

Then it is far more likely to stop and look at that image see who the person is

See if you recognize them see what they're wearing. See who posted it

look at the caption as you can see this opens up a much larger time frame for someone to actually

Analyze that photo and see if they like the shirt read the caption and actually click over and go buy that t-shirt

So with that said if you are going to be hiring an influencer

Please send them a mock-up photo where it's actually intriguing and you'll get a lot more sales in a much higher

Conversion rate than just sending them a screenshot of the t-shirt. So guys. I hope this video helps
