fast as you guys have likely seen there are a lot of videos on this channel that go through my best strategies for
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
