There are five really big mistakes that I keep seeing people making on Teespring and I want to share them with you today
So hopefully you can avoid making them yourself. Hi everyone
I hope you're all having a great day today if you're new here
My name is Greg and I like to talk about online entrepreneurship
So if you're interested in making money online
Feel free to look around the channel and you might find some stuff that you like in today's video
I'm going to be sharing with you the top five mistakes that I keep seeing people making on Teespring and it hurts them
So bad when we're talking about sales
So I want to share them with you today to make sure that you don't make them yourself
Alright, let's get right into this
This is the very first one and this is the one that I see commonly with beginners and this is when they start out on
T spring they go straight for paid Facebook ads or paid Instagram ads now. I have to admit when I started on T spring
I thought this was the way to do it as well. Everyone was talking about this was the strategy you had to do
So I spent money doing this
I thought if you could use Facebook's targeting to target people in that niche
You could get your t-shirt design in front of them and then make sales
Well after I did this myself and spent easily over a thousand dollars
I found out that this is not the way to market your t-shirts, especially for a beginner starting out
Essentially what's going to happen is you're going to put five dollars or ten dollars per day on your t-shirts and you'll get a lot
Of clicks and a lot of engagement, but you will see no sales
I highly recommend not going for this approach when you start out on T spring or any other print-on-demand
Website and I recommend leaving this to the experts of Facebook Ads the people making money on
T-shirts with Facebook Ads are not in the t-shirt business. They're in the Facebook Ads business and please just be conscious of this
So when you're starting out and you're new that you don't fall into the trap of paying for paid
Advertising because it is the quickest way to be in debt or losing money when you're starting out now
They're absolutely are ways to use Facebook and Instagram to get sales on your shirts, but they don't involve paid advertising
I'll talk about that later in this video, but just know that you can use these platforms. It's just not with paid advertising
So this leads us right into the second biggest mistake that I see people make on teespring and that is giving up too soon
A lot of people will go down the paid ads approach
They will spend money get a lot of clicks not get sales and get discouraged and move on to the next shiny object
Whether that's drop shipping whether that's ecommerce, whatever it is
they move on just because they didn't see success right in the beginning now teespring and print on demand in general are a
Long-term game they're not a way to get rich quick the way that you really make money with teespring and print on demand
By creating a lot of really good designs and then letting them do the marketing and this is what leads to long-term passive income
so with that being said
I see a lot of people come onto teespring
create a few designs put ads behind it and not see success and then give up and this is exactly what leads us to the
third biggest mistake that I see people making on teespring and that mistake is not
Understanding that there's a thing called a trust score
Now if you guys have been following this channel for a while
You know that I talked about the trust score often. If you are new to teespring, you may not know what it is
essentially what the trust score is is a
filter of sorts that teespring is put in on all accounts and it basically means when you are a new teespring seller and you open
A new teespring account when you upload campaigns, they are not going to be shown in a teespring marketplace
However, if you follow three of t springs rules
They will start to show up in the marketplace and this is when you will start getting sales
The three rules are simple one. You have to get at least two sales on your account now
This number is between two and ten sales until you're assigned your trust score
But I've heard more recently that it's only two sales. The second is not infringing on copyright
so don't upload designs as t-shirts that have other brands logos on them anything that might be
Copyrighted or trademarked by another company or another person and then three is keeping your titles and descriptions spam free
This means not putting full capitals limited edition by this now. You have to make a purchase
It's not going to be available tomorrow
If it looks spammy to you don't put it in the title or the description if you just follow those three rules
You will get a teespring trust score assigned to you and then your shirts will start showing up in the teespring
Marketplace all of their free marketing will kick in for you and that's when you'll start getting sales
but the reason that this is such a big mistake is that people don't understand that there is a trust score so when they haven't
Gotten their first two sales yet. They're not seeing traffic on their campaigns. They're not seeing sales on their shirts. So they give up
however
just
Understanding that there is a trust score and you have to get at least two of your own sales before you start getting their marketing
And start seeing the sales come in and this leads us into the fourth biggest mistake that I see people make on teespring
And that is not putting in effort to market your shirts in the beginning to get those first two sales
Now if people are marketing themselves, they don't focus on the right strategy
What you really need to do is focus on one niche
Storefront with one niche Instagram page if you just do those things you will get the first sales
On your account now on this channel. I've explained how to do this before and I'll link a video up here
and then also I'm going to link some videos down in the description that you can start watching that I'll explain how to get your
First sales so you can earn the trust score and then start getting long-term passive sales on teespring
But this big mistake that I see people make is when they're creating an Instagram page for their account and trying to send traffic over
To their shirts, they're not focusing on a single niche now
The reason that this is so crucially important is because the traffic that we're sending over from instagram has to align with where we're sending
Them or no one's going to convert and buy anything
So if you have a specific niche on instagram and you're using niche hashtags
which that video up there will talk about you're going to get targeted traffic going to a
targeted storefront which they will relate to and then you will start to see conversions if you're sending someone from
Instagram who likes yoga and you're sending them to a store that has yoga but also trucks and golf and all kinds of things
It's not going to be relevant to them
You're going to lose their attention and they're going to go back to Instagram and keep scrolling
however
If you're sending them from an Instagram page that focuses only on
Yoga to a storefront that focuses only on yoga and has good yoga designs. You'll start to see sales
So those are the first four big mistakes that I see people make on teespring and now for the last one
Number five and that is not uploading your teespring designs to other print-on-demand websites
All of these print-on-demand websites are non-exclusive
So when you upload a t-shirt design to teespring, you can also upload that to merch by amazon
And then also RedBubble now you have three times the exposure on that design and you can get sales from all of these
That's a quick way to go from one income stream to three income streams
just that one thing of uploading your designs to teespring merch by Amazon and RedBubble will make you more sales get you more exposure for
Free ultimately make you more money and work especially well for the long term passive income in the description of this video
I'm going to link three videos that I highly recommend you watch after this one. They are going to be in chronological order
So I recommend watching the first one then the second then the third the first one will go through
creating designs that are going to sell the second one will go through setting up the Instagram and getting people to a niche storefront and
Then the third one is a little bit more of an advanced trick that I use over on Instagram to get you even more
Engagement to your storefront and more sales there
So with all that being said in this video, hopefully you guys aren't making any of these five mistakes
But I keep seeing it happening and people are getting so discouraged from it
I hope this video proved to be helpful to you guys
And I hope you enjoyed it. If you have any questions at all, feel free to let me know in the comments
Otherwise, I'll see you guys in the next video
So this video was supposed to end right here
But I wanted to add in one more thing that I don't think deserves its own video
but it needs to go in somewhere as I was watching this video editing it it felt to me as though I was
criticizing and saying what people were doing wrong, and I just wanted to be
Extremely clear that all the videos that I put out here on YouTube are not meant to be criticizing at all
Everything that I'm putting out here is just trying to help you
I want you guys to get to the level that I was able to get to and I'm trying to put out the most
valuable information
That can really make a difference
And isn't fluff now some of the times these things come off as brutally honest and I just want you guys all to know that
I really do appreciate all of you and everything that I'm doing is just trying to help you
Although it may not be obvious
you guys mean a lot to me as well this community that we've built up and you guys have joined and all the support that
You guys are giving me in return for sharing this with you is so huge and I really appreciate it
So from the bottom of my heart
Thank you guys so much for everything you do for me in exchange for giving you guys this information
I will continue to put together the best
Bits and pieces of information that will actually have an impact on your guys's online business and all the positive
Comments that you guys are leaving me. I really really appreciate those in return
the reason that I'm so active in getting
Responses back to you guys in the comments is because I love reading all the positive comments that you guys write
So with that being said if you have a question or you need help on something
Feel free to leave a comment because I'm always reading them
Also all the support that you guys leave in the comments and the likes on these videos. I can't thank you enough for that
So thank you so much for all of that
But all in all I'm just trying to create a really good online resource on this YouTube channel
So you guys have everything you need to create a successful online business?
I was able to do it myself and I wish when I was in your position
I had someone who was just laying out really valuable bits of information
when I was building my online businesses a lot of the information I found was just
Time-wasting and a lot of fluff. So I try to deliver to you guys always just the most valuable things right off the bat
It's certainly something that I wish I had when I was starting out
So I'm sure you guys do appreciate that and I will
You to deliver good stuff to you guys
Now all the hundred plus videos that are here on YouTube are completely free and that's to help as many people as possible
You don't have to pay for any of those things
now a lot of the times when someone on YouTube turns to try to sell you a course that's very frowned upon but I want
to say openly and very honestly if I ever try to sell you a course one of my courses or someone that I really recommend
it's because whatever that thing is the information the course the service is worth every bit of the money and it's not available anywhere for
Free so if I ever recommend something to you, that's paid just know that it's my honest recommendation
I really do mean it and I think it'll help your business
So I know you guys probably didn't expect this in this video
but I really just wanted to say thank you so much for all the support you give me and
Everything that I released for you guys is just trying to help so I really hope you guys appreciate that too
Alright guys, I promise this is the actual end of this video and don't forget
There's the links down in the description that are the next resources. I would recommend you guys watch on YouTube. Alright guys
I hope you enjoyed all of this
