    Chris. Love your content. I use Printify and Monster Digital. Gildan 6400. I believe that is what you recommended. Do you put your brand labels on inside collar? Seems like a good idea for repeat orders. My front designs don’t mention brand. So that is the only way you would know where shirts came from. Good idea? Or… better to leave off and just have Gildan tear away tags. Didn’t know if that slowed process down for printing. Also, Monster Digital seems slow since coming up from Mexico and long shipping times. Let me know your thoughts.

      Because people won't apply themselves and it's easier to bash and fear monger than working hard and making reality happen. It's why some people never are successful. They spend more time in the negative than positive. They give up before they even start. Chris has set up these businesses for a while so in 1 year he can do this. For someone new or uneducated on the process it might take 2 or more years. They won't make money instantly and they won't know what they did wrong and they would rather bash then fail and learn and grow and do better.

But...the email they give you is pretty cut and clear what you did wrong and how to fix it.

    Hi Chris, you mentioned that when customer in EU decides to return their order within 14 days you just refund the order and they don't have to return it. Do you have to have the return address listed on your shopify store? And do you recommend setting up P.O. Box instead of using home address if some customer decides to return it and uses the address mentioned on the shopify store? Thank you

    Thanks for sharing your strategy and Congrats on your hard work/success. Please explain to a total noob why we would pay roughly $800 per month on Shopify/app fees until we actually confirmed our concept/idea can sell in the first place? Seems there are much cheaper platform options for beginners until success is confirmed?

      @ChrisHeckman  28 днів тому

      good question and it's not necessary! I recommend using free/cheap alternatives like judge.me instead of loox and gmail instead of Gorgias. Try to keep overhead (including apps/software) to 3-4% of total revenue. i.e - doing $10k/month sales = $300 - $400 / month overhead

  • @alexandrurobu5578

    7. Profits : I think telling audience that this store was almost 0 effort on your part is not fair. 3-4k just spending on overheads is not 0 effort, it is your margins. Also i think with such marketing budget monthly from day one , you really need to know what your doing in marketing, you always measure results vs ad spend, ads are not push and go, they are not forever and also with so many changes how Meta works, you need to know more than just average Joe. To really make your profits you need to add some unique dropship product with your brand on it.
