1. Pick a niche
Sell to a specific group: a hobby, profession, city or fandom (without using trademarks you don’t own).
2. Create designs
Simple text and bold graphics sell best on shirts. Test several.
3. Choose a print model
- Print-on-demand: Printful, Printify, Gelato.
- Bulk: order 24-100 of a proven design from a screen printer and ship yourself.
4. Price for profit
Use the POD profit calculator. Many sellers price tees at $25-$32.
5. Sell
Start with Etsy or a Shopify store, and promote where your niche already gathers.
6. Order samples
Wear and wash your own products before you advertise them.
