    I am so glad I ran across your UA-cam videos. I currently have a Tee shirt company...just starting...again. Some of the questions you've asked, I've already done so it was just confirmation that I am on the right track! I am probably much older than your average designer, but age means NOTHING when God is in the mix! My tees, mugs, and caps are motivational, encouraging, and funny! I am also a cancer survivor so I have memorial and encouraging messages on the above stated media. I just wanted to thank you for the videos and encouragement you provide. It's a little challenging right now because I work full time. But I am pushing through time management. Thank you again for the informative and informational videos! I love your energy! It gets me going! And I LOVE your tees!!

    hi....I've been wanted to start a t shirt business so longgg...but every time I think of starting I'm always discouraged...came home from church today and was really motivated to get on it...and then to be honest...I don't even remember what I was looking for when I ran into ur video...and and I was like wow...I got to get started...ur video is very inspiring and I thank you for not being selfish but sharing your knowledge...😚.... one of the troubles I've been having is finding tagless shirts....So I would b selling my brand and not a Hanes T with my design...

    • @journeyappareltv3894
      @journeyappareltv3894 7 років тому +1

      I recommend looking for "tear-away tags." The shirts I use have 2 labels, the brand name and the care label. I tear away the brand label and print my own logo right underneath the remaining care label. Looks clean

    • @journeyappareltv3894
      @journeyappareltv3894 7 років тому +7

      Hello Sister...just my 2 cents, a while back, I learned that it takes a lot of work to get people interested in buying anyone's T-shirts. You could setup something like a shopify store, and set up many other different sales channels to sell your products, Instagram for your business, facebook shop, pinterest, etc...it's a lot of work but don't be discouraged.

    @RobertLoyale 7 років тому +26

    Ugh..Fiverr smh. Look, I specialize in Tshirts, Logos and Gif animation (advertisement). lol Anybody that needs a graphic designer for their t-shirt, please just contact me. I'm affordable for your project. I work well with you. My portfolio is all over this site and the internet. You can always check out my store as well lol (Shameless Plug). But please, stop using Fiverr. They give us a bad reputation.

    • @katrinaodegbesan7754
      @katrinaodegbesan7754 7 років тому +2

      Robert Loyale I tried it and it was such poor quality. I then found it on another popular company's website. They basically looked up shirts with the scripture I gave and copied it from scratch. It was so ugly and off set. Not centered. I couldn't get the person to change what I asked and finally paid them to stop and leave me alone. Tacky. People keep suggesting this site and she clearly has never used it because she doesn't know the name. That is disappointing!

    • @RobertLoyale
      @RobertLoyale 7 років тому +4

    • @magnumvisuals1086
      @magnumvisuals1086 7 років тому +1

      Robert Loyale yes fiverr uses designers from India to do copy paste clip art from existing designs. not original which is why it costs $5 for a design that many others have. I know because I have outsourced to fiverr and they cannot understand what you want.

    • @RobertLoyale
      @RobertLoyale 7 років тому

      +Magnum Visuals Yeah I mean in some cases, you want somebody you can talk to but as your business sustains, people will start pitching to you or you'll hire somebody to do the work.

    • @iamkrystallee
      @iamkrystallee  8 років тому +1

      #1 No it's not
      #2 That's different for everybody. You may get anywhere from $7-9 per shirt...maybe more! So the more sales the closer you can turn that into thousands!

    Krystal Lee, thanks for your information. A few weeks ago over the air you made mention of getting your shirt designed and I think you said after the design was completed you found a online tshirt company to push your shirts is that correct and if so would you mind sharing the company name? If, I didnt hear you clearly please correct me. Thanks... Wanda

      If you design a graphic or logo for a shirt. You have something already called a poor mans copyright. You can then apply for a permanent copyright. I believe its around $35.

    • @NeedTshirtsNow
      @NeedTshirtsNow 7 років тому +2

      Hello, Usually cartoon characters such as Disney are trademarked. Even something as simple as the 3 circles used to create mickey mouse's head. Sometimes you can find a licence for some graphics but it is usually for personal use. There are plenty that uses them without permission but usually, Disney and others go through at least 3-times a year targeting copyright and trademark offenders. Hope this helps.
