You know you always courage me to continue my dream in all this problem in my life, in January 2020 first time I show your videos and I learn more thinking about my line clothes from your video and your academy. Really thank you so much. I will work to have a factory like this, because you really excited me to continue my path even though I see it as a bit difficult. You offer many, many others around the world. The least thing I can give you is the big thanks from my heart. I made a promise to myself that when I open my company more closely, you will be the first to invite me to celebrate with me. Thank you your fans from algeria
It's really hard to launch your own brand of clothing these days. I'm into Tshirt Printing business but because of the competition you really have to leverage. Hoping to have more followers like you.
Well, your headed in the right direction. 3 things: 1) Don't do drugs 2) Don't drink 3) Don't smoke Take your money you saved and invest in the necessities a human has to have. 1) communication 2) transportation 3) food 4) clothing 5) housing Make sence ?
@@universouls, not trying to make a villian out of anything. The whole smoking and drinking thing is what you as an individual, make from it. I only laid it out, as solid advice. It's what you do with it that counts. It's your money. Do whatever you want. I think it's a great way to look @ things. Agree ?
I am so grateful I was guided to your videos Jon Santos. I have launched a YOUTH product and service business focused on Mental Health Awareness at all levels. We have an enormous and creative streetwear vision for Noble One to support our mission and bring our message forward. It can be overwhelming to figure out where to begin and your content is absolutely appreciated. Thank you for the gift of education and information and guiding others to success. We are the Noble Ones. :-)
So much information and resources. I really appreciate all of this. I’ve been researching and asking people directly for help for months now but was spun in circles. I feel guided and inspired now! Moving forward from here. Thanks again 😊
You know what you should do next for some more content? You should film some Brand influencers and ask them how much they get paid to advertise a product for a clothing brand because people who want to start a clothing brand also need that info. i hope this idea that i gave you works out for you! i love seeing my Hispanic ppl come up!
Hi John Only just found your your UA-cam channel, I have only just started to get the ball rolling in the clothing brand!!!!! Could I run a print on demand from the uk?? Cheers 👍🏻
What approaches have worked best to build awareness and convert customers? -> Paid Ads -> Content Creation (video, blogs, photos) -> eMail Marketing -> Search Engine Optimization -> Conversion Optimization -> Influencer Marketing -> Affiliate Marketing What have you tried, but haven't quite gotten to work yet? Where did you get stuck?
Yeah have a pattern designed then take it to the manufacturer to print the material out. I think you have to print out at least a thousand yards. Also I think the tshirt maker will only make the tshirts if you're making minimum thousand yards too. At least in the 90's it was like that.
@@johnxsantos Hello John do you have a phone number or email we can contact you at? We have a trademark/ copyright item we need printed ASAP. Please call me at 406) 697-9486.
Awesome vid. John. Love it. I am wondering about certain manufacturers for urban wears. This is what i struggle with. Nevertheless. Great vid. I will be joining the Academy to reach the mind power group for assistance.
Love it! Thank you, Just like you said you have to have a Passion you have to have a business plan and go full force into it. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you.
If I wanted to go w apliq as a source how do I get specialty pieces or custom pieces that they may not offer, finished/ embroidered (my logo/artwork on it)
Print on Demand companies like Apliiq should really start pushing the environmental message of their business model more. With POD, you only produce what you need, which reduces wastage. And because they fulfil the orders themselves, it also lowers the carbon footprint. A really eco-friendly business model. Nice job guys!
Now I haven't finished the whole video yet so don't hose me if it's mentioned but I am looking to print photographs on my t-shirts as well as the usual logo and text type stuff, can these direct to garment machines print photographs and if so how is the quality in the end? If they can not, could you recommend the best method to use to get the photographs on the shirts please.
Hello John I'm new to your channel and i'm finding it very insightful i do have a question thow! how do i find out who does the lining on or for jackets and hoodies ?
The issue with this is you are unable to be involved in the printing process, print on demand is much safer but for a brand to have long term success they need to have inventory and good relations with your wholesaler and print shop
Great info and awesome video! I have a site already set up do you know if you can connect it to shopify? and what the general cost is for a shirt? Thinking of switching to eCom
I've been wanting to start my clothing for so long. I have my design, logo, etc..but I DT wanna do it without getting it trademarked first. What's your take on starting without trademark.?
if you feel like the trademark is one you'll keep for the next 3-5 years, DO IT and consult with an attorney. If you're just playing with the idea, then spend your money testing the concept
@@johnxsantos thank you..I Love your line and the fact you help others like myself, giving insight, ideas and inspiration. I watch sooo many of your vids.. Appreciate you.
This may be an dumb question but I’m new to this. What is the likelihood of success with 15k-30k to invest in a clothing/fashion business? If a small business owner invests 1k-5k USD into a fashion apparel company with great unique designs, is he likely to succeed over an investor with 15k - 30k to spare making mediocre apparel? Of course, there are many layers to this question (advertising, investment strategy, etc), but how big of a factor does money play in the fashion industry?
Is there anyway to contact you before buying a program...I really want to try this but have some questions 1st, and I can't find any numbers to dail on your website...please reach back out thank you...
I have watched multiple of your videos about apliiq. I finally went on to order some samples and they were between $16-$27 when y’all had mentioned in a previous video they were running roughly $10.50 for a print. Am I looking at something wrong?
I've been watching john a min now he is a very smart guy I have learned so much of him he encouraged me to start my channel I hope my channel has good success trying to make to my first 100 subscribeers
U know ima give u try it want hurt I just subscribe to u maybe if people see this they may follow u to help you ur mark it wouldn't hurt ima s/o you EVERYBODY THAT INS COMMENT BOX LET GET JAYY TO 100 SUBSCRIBER 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
First I want to say thank you so much for sharing such great information. I’ve been wanting to start my own clothing line from original fashion designs for apparel. What would you suggest would be a good computer program for me to get to help with this, since I can’t draw? Help!
Hey! I hope all is well. I am starting a clothing business. There is a picture of a painting that I want to use but I do not want to get copyrighted. The painting is by a dead artist named Wilf Hardy and I can not find anything about copyright. PLZ HELP
Writing a business plan is what has stopped me over and over to start or try to start something. I have no idea how to write a business plan, the worst part (at least for me) being where you have to somehow "predict" the future. I can't do that ... I can't lie and say "this or that" is going to happen when nothing in this life is safe or guaranteed. So here I am, almost 60 years old and I never started anything on my own. Now I am unemployed and I need to start something ... and once again ... that inability to write a business plan is on my way. 🤬
My knowledge is probably out of date, but I don't think you need to see the future to write a business plan. On a basic level, it is just 'the plan' with actual numbers that means the business is viable. Start with what you have the resources to do/make/advertise *right now* in terms of time/money/contacts/followers and write it down. Start there, add the limitations, eg the cost of things, plus your style/ethos (ie business model) to work out what numbers you need to be viable and you have your first year/qtr set up! Then think about a best case scenario and worst case scenario of where your current resources could take you and where on that scale you need to be to stay viable and add them. If you need to sell 2k to break even when you can only procure 200 it's a no go. If you need more resources find out how you would get them. Sometimes making the plan shows you it isn't viable, my last plan showed me the ethos I wanted to use meant that to cover my costs I needed to be able to sell more units than I had capacity for, so I didn't do it. Hope this helps?
10:37 NO I WOULD PICK THE GREAT PRODUCT AND PRICE IT RIGHT FOR THE CONSUMER! 135$ FOR MY SLIDES 30$ FOR HAT AND 145$ FOR BOOKBAG! WILL HAVE SAMUEL 16 23 AND FIRST SAMUEL 17 48 MY SLOGAN IS STRINGING AND SLINGING!
John you always put out great content, but the dudes from Feat socks aren't people I'd want to take advice from no matter what their numbers are. Did you ever watch their "Profit" episode? It's basically a blueprint on what NOT to do. They were extremely disrespectful and privileged. I know their values don't align with your values and you would never treat people the way they treated Marcus and his staff. Just my 2 cents
What I’ve come to realize is that media/ shows can paint you out to be what they decide. I watched the episode and then also learned about the business model Marcus was building on the side. They didn’t want to work to build him another side business, so their attitudes were shown in a negative light. Definitely not a good look on them tho, but Parker is a genuine dude.
Episode 3 is now live! ua-cam.com/video/6JOwZd_5t2A/v-deo.html

What approaches have worked best to build awareness and convert customers?
-> Paid Ads
-> Content Creation (video, blogs, photos)
-> eMail Marketing
-> Search Engine Optimization
-> Conversion Optimization
-> Influencer Marketing
-> Affiliate Marketing
What have you tried, but haven't quite gotten to work yet? Where did you get stuck?
I'm ready to expand my business. I'm getting together some new designs.
What if I wanted the fabric to have my brand/Design to be printed all over it? like the way LV or many other lux brands?
You just have to pay for it.
@@antonesantos8210 I was trying to ask if they would do something like that.
Yeah have a pattern designed then take it to the manufacturer to print the material out. I think you have to print out at least a thousand yards. Also I think the tshirt maker will only make the tshirts if you're making minimum thousand yards too. At least in the 90's it was like that.
Thanks for all your advice man. Um bringing my brand out this year.
Thank you fam. Can't wait to see. Please keep me in the loop, tag me on IG when you're ready! My contact details in description of video 👆🏽

What’s a good website to do photo shop or a good way to find a design and put it on clothes
Today I have subscribed to your channel. Actually really good content. Love it. Saludos from London. 🙌🏽
hell yeah found another quality channel!
Question here. Would it be okay to use branded clothing such as Nike or Adidas and have it printed with my logo for my merch items?
Now I haven't finished the whole video yet so don't hose me if it's mentioned but I am looking to print photographs on my t-shirts as well as the usual logo and text type stuff, can these direct to garment machines print photographs and if so how is the quality in the end? If they can not, could you recommend the best method to use to get the photographs on the shirts please.
What about if I’m looking for a specific fabric for what I want to do with my clothing brand...is that something that they do?
Just got my order confirmation from Ariel, she’ll be reviewing my design, helping me launch my line.
🙌🏽 awesome. Keep me posted on how things progress. Hmu on IG @johnxsantos

Does your experts know registration methods for copyright or trademark applications.
WOW…. GOOD TECHNOLOGY!!!
Do you have any info or videos on How to design your own jeans? Also I just joined your channel and love the few videos I watched.
With companies like upliiq, how can you use different materials/wholesale items? Or can you only use what upliiq has. Thanks!!
What they have. But if you’re bulk ordering they can work with you.
Do they cut & sew and make proto types
What do you need legally to start a clothing brand online? LLC, EIN .. What else do you need?

I liked the sweater from the guy
an issue with the POD for your brand is that you have 0% influence on the print quality... and that's a BIG risk
Does Apliiq do phone cases?
New Sub, Also New Brand Owner 🤝
How does apliiq handle my IP though? Are they gonna try to own my brand if I trust them with it’s product
negative. They do make sure you have the rights to trademarked items though. they work with some legit brands.
John Santos gonna give them a spin
I guess it starts with the 100 labels?
John Santos can you comment on them operating as usual or not operating as usual with the lockdown right now in LA?
We don't own your artwork, just manufacture your brand's products. 👍
Ian Gruber so you guys are open right now with the LA lockdown and all?

The truth is, graphic T-shirt’s are a dead industry. It’s just not in fashion anymore.
THIS COMPANY DOESN'T SHIP, DO NOT PURCHASE FROM THEM!
Tshirts are pollution for the planet
