What's going on guys? It's Greg,
and today, I've got another Teespring video for you.
This one came by request, and it's to talk about the website teeview.org.
If you haven't heard of this, it's kind of a syndicate.
It pulls t-shirt designs and campaigns from Teespring, SunFrog, and Teazilla,
which are three big sites for print-on-demand.
And it compares them and allows you in one place to
kind of sort by numbers, which ones have the most sales,
things like that.
So, I want to go into this kind of in-depth,
and show you my opinion on teeview.org.
If you should use it, why you should use it, and kind of
the small things, and the things that I've gotten from experience
that I think you will enjoy.
Without further ado, let's get right into the computer on this.
So, if you haven't been on teeview.org before,
this is it right here, and it's a pretty simple website,
and the function is just so you can search or
sort by campaigns on three different websites.
Mainly, we're only worried about Teespring here.
The other ones, although they are pretty big sites,
it doesn't really matter because the only information
that we really need is from Teespring.
With that in mind, you have these very easy tabs
that you can click right here.
Best selling by numbers, best selling by ratio,
only active, and only goal reached.
The goal reach doesn't really matter anymore,
because Teespring isn't using that.
They're doing print even if only one sells, so that's irrelevant.
So, the main thing that I want to talk about here is the
'best selling by numbers' tab,
and what this is going to do is show us historically,
which campaigns sold the most amount of units,
and there's kind of a Stipulation to this
that i'm gonna talk through as we go through it here.
So, as you scroll through here,
you can just see the latest added campaigns.
You can kind of get inspiration on ideas.
But that's all good and dandy, you can do that right on Teespring as well.
We're just going to click this 'best selling by numbers' right here.
Once we've done this,
it's going to show us which ones have sold the most units.
So, when you come in here and look at this,
you can see how many units actually sold.
This is, 25,000 units have sold, 53,000 units have sold, 27,000.
This is very high volume. People come here, and they think that
these are the best selling designs, so they have to make designs
that look like this, to make a lot of sales. Now, that is not the case.
The reason that these shirts have so many sales is
because of the marketing campaign behind them.
The one thing that it doesn't tell you here is,
how much money they spent,
what kind of advertising they did to get these numbers.
So, they might have spent thirty thousand dollars in facebook ads
to get twenty five thousand sales.
So, they may have broken even.
They may have lost money on this. You just don't know.
Although, these are designs that sell, clearly by the orders,
you don't know how much money
they had to put into it to get those sales.
Just the fact that it got a lot of sales alone
does not mean that it's a good design.
If you really wanted to,
you could get a bad design to get a lot of sales
by putting a lot of marketing funds behind it.
People will still buy it.
So, use this 'best selling by numbers tab' with a grain of salt,
knowing the fact that they may have spent
thousands of dollars in order to get these sales.
But with that being said, you can still scroll through here,
and look at the designs to get inspiration.
Personally, I like to use Etsy for inspiration, and
I type in the type of niche that I'm going for.
So, I always use 'yoga here as the example.
This is a niche that I'm in.
I know it's a great one.
Yoga and fitness sells, historically, always great,
and then you can scroll down here and look for inspiration here.
Here, you have a few more metrics that you can use,
like how many reviews it has,
what the overall review is, and things like that.
I have a whole lot of videos on how to use Etsy to find inspiration ideas,
if you want to check that out on the channel.
But you can come through here, and you can find design ideas,
and then you can even put in 'yoga shirt' to get more specific,
and this is full of design ideas.
The biggest thing is, if you're going on a site like this,
and you're using it for inspiration,
make sure that the one thing you do is,
do not copy their designs as they are.
When you create a shirt design yourself,
you automatically own the copyright to that design.
if anyone else creates that design, and it's close enough looking to it,
you can report that to Teespring, and Teespring will investigate.
If they determine that it's copyright infringement,
they will remove that campaign,
and they will actually penalize that sellers Teespring account,
lowering their trust scores.
So, their campaigns are not showing as often.
So, that's the big thing is, don't copy anyone's designs too closely.
Now, you can still go on here and look for inspiration.
If you change the order of words in a quote, that's completely fine.
That's not copyright infringement.
If you put on different images, that's fine as well.
Teespring actually advocates doing that, looking for designs you like,
and then changing it up, and making your own version of that.
With that being said, just be careful of copyright.
If you want a more in-depth explanation on this,
I have a video on this channel covering all of copyright,
trademark, and right of publicity and privacy on
creating t-shirt designs, so you can check that out in the channel as well.
But let's hop back over to Teeview where we were talking about before.
The long story really sure is the only thing that
I recommend Teeview for, is to use the 'best selling by numbers,'
just to get an idea of what has sold high numbers.
But always remember that they could have spent a ton of money on here.
That's the only real benefit I see of Teeview personally.
And then the only other thing that you might be using Teeview for
or Etsy is for finding a niche that you're thinking about going into,
and if you want to do that, I recommend KWFinder right here.
It's short for 'keyword finder,'
and you can type in whatever niche you're thinking of.
So, if you're thinking of yoga shirt,
you can type in 'yoga shirt' right there,
anywhere, any language, find key words,
and then, you can look through here and read these numbers.
Without going too in-depth on this,
the two things that you want to look for
when you're searching for Niches is the search volume.
Make sure it has enough monthly searches.
5,000 is plenty,
and you've got yoga t-shirts has another 2,000 right there,
every single month,
that's how many searches are going through Google,
and then the keyword difficulty, which is this column right here.
It has a number and a color.
You really want to look for green ones, or
I always advise 39 or above means that it's easy to rank for that,
and the niche is relatively open.
Now, yoga specifically , yoga shirt, yoga t-shirt,
you want to add up the ones that are relevant,
and then kind of find out what the average is.
This is looking like it's probably about a low 30.
So, that means it's a little bit more competitive.
It's not that 39 or above.
If you see green on the ones that are relevant to what you have,
yoga shirt, yoga t-shirt,
if this is green or 39, or above, that's a really good niche to go into.
Yoga and fitness is a little bit more competitive niche,
but I know it always makes sales.
That's why these numbers are a little bit lower,
meaning, it's a bit more competitive.
But I know people are always buying those products and apparel online.
So that's kwfinder.com.
So, feel free to use that to find your niche.
But that's all I've got for you guys in this video.
That's the overview of Teeview, what you should use it for,
what you really shouldn't use it for.
I don't think it's all that amazing to use.
I prefer using Etsy and then also KWFinder,
if you're looking for a niche to go into.
