I stated in July last year during the lockdown in the UK I was clearing out and selling old stuff on eBay raised quite a bit and was like what now, bought an amazon press and a cameo off eBay and started pushing custom work on instagram and fb. My initial goal was 1 shirt a month until Christmas somehow I managed at least one order every week since September! :)
🚀🚀
What designs do you do? :)
@@amyk9813 At the moment I just do custom shirts for other people but if you're from the UK and have an idea you'd like made give me a shout my IG is Purple Hippo Printing :)
@@renkoireton4452 if you don’t mind me asking what brand machine did you purchase?
@@JRadiCal33 It's just and an amazon press.
Got my press just a few days ago. Like the the man said in the video , you have no choice but to figure it out. It's difficult to put your trust in something you are not sure will even workout. But you do anyway, because you have to. I have been watching almost everyone on youtube and everyone pretty much has the same message, KEEP TRYING! trial and error is the best teacher in life. I have ruined brand new shirts and made some pretty decent ones. I started because I got tired of providing my skill and talent for someone else and their dream. So here I am now on the same journey as many of you guys. Good luck , research and practice practice practice!!
Buy cheap tshirts and use those for trial and error. Hope you have a good day
Thanks for posting this. Exactly what I needed to hear. My press is on the way and some of the things that crossed my mind you just hit on the head. All the best to you brethren 🙏🏽
Hi! what do you use to create designs? I want to have motivating quotes on my shirts with some cute design but not sure what program to use.
I struggling! Working on my first order of 20 shirts. Overwhelmed and ready to cry. Thanks for this little talk. I am learning.
Well you do need that experience under your belt. It will get easier as you go along. The best advice anyone can give you is to learn your machine and the software it uses.
💪You've got this, Gladys.
Go Gladys!
Good problem to have
Cry????
Started my apparel business 6 years ago with a 15 inch vinyl cutter. Since then I've added another 24 inch vinyl cutter and a roland BN-20 print and cut vinyl printer. I also have overseas full cut and sew sublimation manufacturing and my apparel line is doing well with new staff and different strategies I'm using to grow my business.
R3 Sports Apparel
Good stuff💪🏿💪🏿
How does the vinyl cutter work with apparel? My understanding of the cutter is for window and vehicle graphics.
@@MarcCardwell Desolation apparel with heat transfer vinyl looks perfect in my opinion. Sharp corners, vibrant colors, it has a great feel to it and it's perfect for one offs til you find something that sell extremely well. I haven't done stickers yet because I don't have the client's for it to make sense for me but it is a amazingly profitable business as well from what I've heard.
@@VinoUdaBestOne HMM! I've not see that before, apparel w/ heat xfer vinyl. And it holds up well for a while, wash after wash?
@@MarcCardwell Yes.... It holds up well. Just make sure to use the correct time temperature and pressure and it will last longer than the garment.
I started with htv and a press. And we've added so much more after
Man I found this at the perfect time. This helped bring back my motivation. I feel less stressed now. Thank you 🙏
Dude, thank you so much. I beat myself up all of the time and I'm trying to utilize all of my potential right now to do several things at once that are outside of my comfort zone. I keep hitting that wall of insecurity and my anxiety takes over and produces these barriers that are simple for the outside observer, but to me are so hard to break through. I'm not used to accepting failures from myself so I've avoided advancing for decades now, because of the fear of failure. I'm glad to see someone successful that says they were struggling with that insecurity of the unknown. Learning to take leaps of faith is kinda new to me, you gave me hope.
Hey thank you. I'm from Jamaica and I just started my T-shirt business. I've made some sales locally so far. Still learning the equipments and the business. I've a heat press and a silhouette cameo 4.
Bro, it's because of you I believe I can do this and will never give up. It's only a few real ones in the the game and your that. Real. Love the videos. Hustlers do what Hustlers do, Ninja Shit Like. Thank You.
Your a real stand up dude to take the time to relay this information. Not alot of people care about helping the next man do anything but this little bit of information is huge to someone thinking about starting in this business. Thx homie you a real one bro 💯
Just getting off printify having made almost next to nothing in sales. I have my niche , I have good designs but haven’t put in the effort into marketing. Influencers ads etc.
Just got my cutter & press and re thinking my marketing strategy. 9-5 is just not it , dedicated to making this work cause failure just ain’t an option. Thank you for the helpful insight man.
how is it going man?
Say, brother...Thanks for this.! Your humble words (and demeanor) were very encouraging and helpful. Very grateful. Peace
I started with heatpress, cameo, and a inkjet printer and selling by word of mouth.
Bro I have exactly the same items King, I just started out . Is there any advice you can give me 🙏
@@dro258 join the #squad on fb. You can find out anything you wanna know
facebook.com/groups/277772753429483/?ref=share
@@dro258 I gave this advice to someone else in this video. Learn your equipment! Learn the different settings. Cutting glitter vinyl will not go through as easily as regular HTV for this I would advise to set the dial to custom so you can select the right type and the machine will adjust. For your brand if you have one print a couple up for yourself and start wearing it. Take pictures of yourself wearing it and post it to Instagram and Facebook. But most importantly you will find a ton of videos out there and the different ways of printing, HTV, embroidery etc etc DON'T OVERSPEND TRYING TO DO EVERYTHING UNTIL YOU MAKE MONEY OFF OF WHAT YOU ALREADY HAVE. These videos will leave you broke if you don't do it step by step. At the beginning, vinyl will be the cheapest way to go just remember how much your vinyl cost. Cutting and weeding will come with dead space cut and save you can you the scraps on a later project. Hope it helps.
For clarity on what I said about watching videos will leave you broke. Every video you watch is for our benefit of learning from their experience/mistakes. Some may be that of someone else who was in search for an answer and didn't see one that went into depth of how to, so they made one themselves again for our benefit. Then when you search you'll be tempted to get into that too. Not their fault it's just learning to do this will always bring you to something new. I didn't want to upset no one by not clarifying what I was trying to explain so I wanted to leave off with saying that.
@@rafaelmonzon581 everything you said is on point
I just started my own brand first came out with t shirts and now just ordering long sleeves it’s doing some sales here and there but I won’t give up I want my brand to grow big
This is probably the most real commentary I've seen on beginning print on demand items. I've done many of the things you talked about. Bought a 4 color screen printer, bought a vinyl cutter, bought a heat press, ordered samples from various heat transfer companies. What I haven't done is apply all of the things you advised doing, because I really didn't know where to start. Now, I do. Thank you.
Doing this now
Actually looking forward to start my own soon... your videos have been a huge help
Good luck on your business
You keep saying you’re not an expert but you inspire me , give me great tips and it’s because of you why I’m starting my business . Thanks again Rich-Loc (yes I gave you a nickname lol) !
Hi Steven, I think you just the Shopify business. I'm the same with you if you don't mind we can rub mind together about it
I’m not starting any step until I watch all your videos I don’t have graphic design background but my love for clothes is what is driving me to this path an u are very helpful my brother
You didnt have to share all that but you did a lot of people owe u for this one including me salute to you king!!! That was real information you gave
One of the most genuine videos I’ve watched, felt like you were talking directly to me. Thank you so much for this 🙏🏽
I am SO glad i ended up here. Just sharing your story makes me motivated. I have been selling for years and I’m definitely going to invest in this route. I always look forward to failing forward to success.
Dude, you saved me a bunch of time, money, and headaches. Really appreciate your posts. I nearly purchased a ton of unnecessary stuff. Awesome.
I think Your Already better then a EXPERT!!!!! Keep Giving us this knowledge and Share Your EXPERIENCE
Hello! I’ve been watching your videos for less than a month now, and your humility is very admirable. I wish you all the best in your business. I’ll keep following and watching your stuff!
Been working on how to implement artwork into logo and shirt design. Created a Redbubble and had just a couple sales, but I'm trying to put much more effort in creating and marketing. All of this is helpful in hindsight. Thanks!
I made a Rudbubble account....where can go for a picture template? I uploaded a pic on sample shirt but the image looked too tiny
Been researching since January. Probably the most straight-forward video besides The Rhinestone World. Subbing now. This was an excellent video. Going to go digging through your vids regarding starter heat presses. TRW told us about 619. I will definitely use them. He talks them up all the time about how great their customer service is. And he will NOT hype crap product/businesses. Glad to see you are on board as well. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I hope to do something like this in future, been selling on Amazon for a while and low key kinda getting tired on selling on their, I want my own platform where I have more control.
Red I heard of how does that work?
You have no idea the amount of motivation you just instilled in my heart! Thank you for such great and detailed advise. Good vibes.
Wise words, bro! From Cambodia. Didn’t expect it when you share your origin. Very proud of you (:
Always paying it forward. Thanks Rich.
Hi Hustle Ninjas, first time watcher and forever subscriber now as I am currently in the planning phase of starting my own press biz. Unfortunately I've already sinned as I've already purchased a Cricut Maker 3, a heat press, and a sublimation printer. I'm currently working a full time job that I would like to get out of one day, this video was really insightful, thank you so much for it
Made good money on a FM Expression heat transfer I designed years ago. Truly is convenient. Press it when you receive an order. No blank shirts wasted. I need to get that fire back!
Thank you, for Sharing - Your story, I Appreciate, Respect and Can - Understand, Where you are coming From, and Where,l You are Going! Cheers, Brad H
Respect. This is one of the best UA-cam videos I have come across in a very long time. All day.
Info is gold! Been in the business for years and still learned a lot
Been wanting to do shirts for a while now but had no idea where to start thanks for the insight
I think the key is… Be Patient. This is not an overnight success kind of business. I’m easing into it slowly and will give it 6 months to a year if necessary without giving up. And be prepared to put some cash into it. Profits will come later.
Oh nice you’re Cambodian! My ex-wife is Cambodian and our daughter is half. Love Cambodian foods and culture.
This video is Golden... Bookmarked, Playlisted, I will be coming back to this video often, as I scale up my business. your info is priceless, the plethora for information in the description: thank you.
Kuddos to you on this video. Brings a lot of clarity. Lots of great information. I’m just starting and this helps for direction.
I live in NJ and thought I would try 613 Originals. It was a disappointment. The red print was horrible against a black t-shirt because there was no base for it to show up against dark fabrics. I will try FM Expressions when I am ready and hope they are better.
Bruh it’s crazy your story hella relatable. After buying all that screen printing and vinyl and dealing with the learning curve I eventually just stopped doin it cuz I couldn’t keep up with demand. And now I’m trynna automate print on demand to focus on art work and marketing
And not keep buying all this equipment with all my profits. I can just cracc sales and do it as I guy bruh you got the golden game and given me confidence to follow theu and finish what I started
It's easy to fall into traps especially with DTG. Thanks for helping people navigate I've learned a lot from your videos
I still want the DTG lol
I am looking for a 2nd stream of income, I have been watching videos on these type of topic.
Coming up with different design ideas is the hardest part because if people don't like your designs then you have wasted alot of time and money.
People who like to sketch and draw and graphic artists will have an easier time in this area.
To everbody who wants to get into this field, if this is what your heart is set on doing; don't give up until you have succeeded!
Good luck!👍
Thank you so much..my new site launching next weekend, I'm excited & I'll definitely try pre-made transfers.
Mom photographers was smart af
Right?!! GOLD!💫
Thanks for that Rich. I haven't produced a single shirt yet, but your pep talk has given me hope that it's at least possible.
I plan on putting the next stimulus check towards either a print press or a vinyl thing & everything. I'm not worried about the sales right off the bat. I just wanna get a feel for it. I have no experience but I have made a few of my own shirts with Spread Shirt & I get a lot of positive feedback when I wear them out. I also find it fun creating my own designs. I just have so many questions. How do you make your own designs? Like what platform can you just customize your ideas & then transfer those designs onto the shirts? Which one is easier & more likely to stay on the shirt after washing? Print or vinyl? What will I need if I go screen print route & what would I absolutely need if I want to do the vinyl? All of these questions probably have many different answers I'm sure but ehh nvm. Lol.
tee spring, amazon marketplace, instagram influencers + ads, transfer screen printing, printify, good info
I started researching a couple of years ago because i ordered 4 hoodies on amazon and got prints out on them from a print company altogether i paid 200.00 so by looking at the design i said i bet i could do this. So i went to youtube and found Stan Banks Big Brando and your channel. Thanks to you for ask your content.
Great topic- really appreciate the honesty and directness 👌🏾👍🏾
Ayyyye, pre-made heat transfers. Thanks, brother.
You always put out videos that actually provide useful information. Thank you man I really appreciate it and I’m sure other heads do as well !
Thank you so much for your sharing your experiences and being unselfish about them. Love your motivation. I have some of the equipment and still learning how to use them.
I am a sneaker customizer and I'm tired of paying high prices. So I purchased two heat presses and vinyl. I haven't made a T-Shirt because I'm scared lol...However, I will eventually start.
omg you just clear my mind what i need to do...tq so much
Good video man! I currently use printify and the quality is decent but I definitely want to bring everything in house after I have a couple successful scales so I can up the quality and branding!
Man, thank you so much for this video! It gives so much motivation to just keep working and moving! Love from Tokyo!
I have 2 DTG printers, lately been doing a lot of wholesale, orders 50-100 shirts. get them done in a couple days, but profit is around $5 a shirt. i do on demand retail too with much better profit. Make anywhere from 700-1200 a week so far. I feel like what im missing is getting my name and brand out there.
Only a matter of time, sounds like you’re making good progress
Sup Rich just got put on your channel by the homie Big Brandoh. Thank you for takin the time to drop wisdom to the fellow hustlers. Much love from cold ass Chicago bro! Stay safe keep hustlin!
I think this is the second time I watched this video. Love your honesty and openness. Props!
Thank you for this video! Man I have applied so much to my business from your vids and saved money and time!
Awesome video, thank you I am in the deep water now as I have been self employed for almost 2 years now and my sale aren't that great but I am still moving forward and always looking to reinvent myself if I need to.
In my experience- Those pre printed screen print transfers look nice- until you wash them. They just dont hold up like traditional screen printing. I cant have a quality street wear brand, maybe for kooky novelty shirts. "Got milk?" shirts dont have to last a few washes but i want my gear to last indefinitely.
Like he said... Pros and cons for every different kind of process.
Excellent. Lots of good information. Not sure yet I fully under all you said but but will go back and watch again.
Great information! If you could START with the ideal printer and heat Press. What would it be?
Excellent question. I'm curious to find this out also
This is the second time i have watched this video and I have learned so much again! It just make more sense since I have gotten deeper in my own tshirt business. Thank you so much for this video!
.
This is really good advice plus you were upfront about the fact that you didn’t start making thousands when you started. Creating a brand is involves building trust and understanding what resonates with your audience. It does not happen overnight..
Thank you so much for all of the info you give us. You have no idea how much it helps!
Thanks for the tips Rich!
just subscribed, I love the honesty in your journey !
Thanks brother for the information you have really helped me with your experience and knowledge of the business💯 I really appreciate it. I will pass it on also!!
Great info in this video. Thanks for the knowledge.
Hey Rich, your channel is very good. You taught me a lot in a couple of your video's. I just want to say thank you, and keep up the good work and I will continue to watch. God Bless You.
I was just getting ready to purchase equipment. This was so helpful!
Just do print on demand. Tons of platforms. Test different niches and designs. There more than just tshirt products. Easiest low cost apparel business
Terrible quality compared to screen printing or even dtg printing. if you’re trying to build a serious business and a name, i highly suggest nobody follow this advice
I love the honesty in this video. sometimes its unmotivating when you find that something you already started isnt really for you. soo much useful info thank you !!!
Bro preaching 🔥🔥
Great video with great tips. Going in my Business KNOWledge playlist. 💯👏🏿
Thankyou so much! Im weeding away, and didn't even know you could just pay someone to print transfers! Gold!
Nice right now I have a US CUTTER too mainly sticking HTV right now looking into doing Full print transfers
*Rich… this was rich in helpful information, thanks so much!*
Super valuable info. Thank you for sharing it with us!

Thanks for the info, was very interesting to watch, i'm still trying to figure out what route to go, just starting out been making loads of designs but have no gear to do my own production and if i use printify or printful i can't compete with prices on ebay and amazon etc.
