If you are a seller on Teespring, then knowledge is power.
So in this video,
I'm going to be sharing with you guys three really good pieces of advice
that I think every Teespring seller should know.
Hi everyone, I hope you're all having a great day.
If you're new here,
my name is Greg and I like to talk about online entrepreneurship
and sharing the resources that I wish I had along my journey.
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.
Today's video is going to be quick and straight to the point
and it is three valuable pieces of advice
that every Teespring seller needs to know.
So first things first,
two pretty important public service announcements.
One, I haven't uploaded in over a week
and no I haven't forgot about you guys.
There's just a hurricane heading towards my state,
so things have been a little unusual.
And the second public service announcement
is in regards to placeit.net
if you guys have watched any of my other videos
then you know that I'm always talking about placeit.net
for creating t-shirt designs, creating social media content
and creating the t-shirt mock-ups of models wearing your t-shirt designs.
Well just ten days ago, on August 20th,
they lowered their pricing to a new plan and this is a testing plan.
They're only testing this to see what kind of results
and how people are reacting to it.
But the pricing plan has gone all the way down to about $15 per month.
However, it does not include logos right now,
so if you saw in the t-shirt design video that I made with placeit before
there's two ways to create t-shirt designs on placeit.
One is with their standard t-shirt design tool, which is great.
And then also you can use their logo tool
which creates cool t-shirt designs as well.
So just know that the current plan right now for anyone
who signs up right now going forward until they bring back the logos.
It's going to be a cheaper plan,
however it's not going to include the logos
and just know that anyone
who had signed up prior to this new cheaper plan
you guys still get unlimited logos, and I will keep you guys posted.
As soon as the logos plan comes back,
I'll let you guys know about it.
The price will probably go up
but I will still let you guys know.
We'll have to wait and see how the results go from Placeit
on what kind of plans are going to come and go.
But just know that this cheaper plan as well,
you still get the full mock-ups feature
and standard t-shirt designing.
So that's well worth $15 per month.
Anyways, let's get into this video.
I just wanted to answer that
because I've been getting a lot of questions about it.
Hopefully that clears it up for you guys.
Alright, three really important pieces of advice
that I have for anyone who's selling on Teespring.
Number one, this is that it's very important
to know the different qualities of shirts
that you can choose to have your designs printed on
and how many different items to include in your campaign.
So right off the bat, the two main options
that I would recommend for t-shirts are either Classic or Premium.
Those are my two favorites
and here's why the classic is the cheapest option.
This means that you're going to have the biggest profit margin on it.
The quality of the shirt is okay.
It's not something that's extremely soft that
you're going to be super excited to be wearing.
It's more about the design that's on it.
And the Premium is a little bit more expensive for the cost of the goods,
so your profit margins not going to be as big
if you're pricing it the same as the Classic but the material is supersoft.
So I highly recommend that.
Now I would recommend these
to different people for different purposes.
Now allow me to explain that if you are someone like myself
who's just creating Teespring shirts for passive income,
this is most people out there,
and you're not creating a specific T-shirt brand or a clothing company
and just using Teespring to fulfill it.
Very different things.
So most of us are going to be uploading designs onto Teespring,
onto Merch by Amazon, onto Redbubble,
just to create passive income streams for ourselves.
If you are doing that, then I recommend using the Classic
because it's a good enough material. It's still nice material.
It's just not ultra soft, but it's going to keep your margins really big
Now, if you are someone that is creating a specific clothing company,
one clothing company,
and you just happen to use Teespring to fulfill your orders
and process them and print them and ship them for your company,
then I recommend using the Premium
and this way whenever customers get your shirts,
they're going to be really nice soft shirts
and that's going to help your brand image
because you are creating a clothing brand.
So keep that in mind, those are the two differences,
if you're creating passive income streams,
then go with the cheaper option.
If you're creating a clothing company
and just happen to use Teespring to fulfill it
then I recommend going with the Premium.
Now the second part of this first thing is
what types of items to include in your campaigns
or your listings on Teespring,
a really big piece of advice I have for you guys is
don't put too many options in there.
If people are scrolling through your listings and they find your design
and they like it,
but they have way too many color options
and way too many style options,
they're going to get what's called, Paralysis by Analysis.
And what that means is basically they're paralyzed in their decision.
They're analyzing which one to go with
and then they end up just closing out of the tab,
and they don't purchase anything.
So I recommend only putting in core colors and core items.
For me, this is typically no more than five colors available.
And only the clothing items
that you think would really be a good fit for this.
For me personally, this is typically one t-shirt, one tank top,
one long-sleeve, one hoodie/sweatshirt.
I like the ones that have the hood on them.
And then if it makes sense, a coffee mug and maybe a sticker,
that's it.
And be sure that you're not adding in two shirts
If you add in one shirt, that's a classic and one shirt,
that's a premium, it's just going to throw people off.
So just pick one of the items in each of those categories.
Again, there is no hard rule on this,
but I recommend just not putting in too many options
that people get Paralysis by Analysis.
Okay, number two, really big piece of advice,
is to understand the pricing strategy.
Now when you are uploading a design and creating a listing on Teespring,
they do have suggested pricing.
I think that these are a little bit too high and asking too much.
What I found sells the best for me
is a couple dollars below the suggested pricing.
Trust me, I've tested all different price points on Teespring,
the suggested pricing,
the one that I recommend that's a couple dollars
below the suggested the pricing
I've tried really low pricing just to get high volume
and I've tried a high pricing
just to get a few sales with huge profit on them.
What ultimately yields the most profit for me
is a couple dollars below the suggested pricing.
You have to think about
what's going to yield the most profit at the end of the day
this may not mean the most sales but the most profit.
If you set your prices really low, you will sell a lot more units.
However, you're not going to make as much money on each of those sales.
if you set your prices really high,
you're not going to sell nearly as many units,
but you will make a really good chunk of change on each one of those sales.
However, what you ultimately have to look for is
what price point is going to put the most money in your pocket
and for me, from experience that has been a couple dollars
below the suggested price.
And once you have made one full listing with all the different items
that we were talking about in one,
and you set all the pricing and the colors for them
and you create that listing through,
when you go to Create Another Listing on Teespring,
it's really convenient because you can hit Duplicate This Listing,
change out the design and then change out the title and description
and it will save all of the products, all of the colors
and all of the price points that you set on the first one.
This makes it really efficient, and you can upload a lot of good designs
and set the campaigns up perfectly by doing it this way.
All right guys number three,
this is another really important one
and this is Keywords and knowing how to use them.
Keywords is a term that is often used in SEO or search engine optimization
and it's kind of thrown around like crazy and overcomplicated.
Essentially what a keyword is, is what you want to show up for.
So when someone types something into a search bar
on Google or on Teespring marketplace,
that is basically the keyword that you want to show up for.
This could be something as general as yoga
or even a little bit more specific like funny women's Yoga.
This way, when someone is typing in the search bar on Google,
a search engine or Teespring marketplace,
something that has to do with yoga,
or funny women's yoga, that could be funny women's yoga tank-top,
funny women's yoga shirt, it has that keyword in it.
Now what you want to do is be sure that
you're using keywords in your title and your description of the listing
or the campaign that you're creating on Teespring.
Now quite a while ago, I made an entire video
that has to do just with this
on how to use keywords in the title and description,
and I will link to that at the end of this video
and down in the description.
So if you want more information on keywords in titles and description,
you can watch that video.
Just make sure that you're using keywords
in your title and description.
Keep it very natural and human like and be sure not to be spammy with it.
Teespring even has an article
showing how to write these titles and descriptions.
In the longer video that I'm going to link to,
I go through the entire article and explain each one of the examples.
The video that's going to be linked up here
is the one I was just talking about for keywords
in your title and description, and the video link just below it,
is the best all in one resource for print-on-demand
that I have for you guys here on YouTube.
As always, thank you guys so much for the Likes on these videos,
If you have any questions at all, let me know down in the comments.
I'm going to get back to preparing for this hurricane,
but I hope you guys all have a great day.
And I will see you all in the next video.
