If you are going to start your own t-shirt business online the first thing you need to

have is passion. It is extremely important in any business venture you take on that

you have a passion for it and believe it’s something people want and need. Having

such strong and positive feelings about the work you do will help to get you

through the tough times you may encounter before reaching that ultimate success.

Another important thing to think about is that you shouldn’t have a “get rich

quick” mindset. The t-shirt business isn’t just about throwing a logo, design or

phase on a shirt, having it go viral and selling a million copies overnight. If that’s

what you’re thinking, then you may want to look elsewhere. This is a business you

should be proud to work in everyday to express yourself and to help service your

customers with great products.

One thing that’s really fantastic is that it isn’t really hard to start your own t-shirt

business. If you’ve had some unique ideas or ever thought to yourself, “That would

make an awesome shirt!”, then it’s totally possible for you take your ideas to the

marketplace.

There are of course, a few things to keep in mind.

You definitely want to know the market you are targeting. Since it’s totally

unrealistic to believe you can sell to everyone, try to narrow your target market

down to a specific, key demographic that will always be interested and loyal to

what you have to offer.

Make sure to do some real world calculations about how much money you’re

going to need to invest. Starting a business usually costs about twice as much

people think it’s going to cost at the beginning. It’s certainly better to overestimate

startup costs than to end up underwater before you can really get things operational

and profitable.

Remember, it’s totally cool to start off small. Oftentimes when we get an idea we

may think it’s the greatest, most important, never before seen business opportunity

that will single handedly end of your financial troubles. But there is no need to

rush into things too quickly. It’s best to try new ideas in small batches. Test the

waters. See how things go and what types of reaction and sales you get. Get some

real feedback from your customers. Listen to their ideas and suggestions. Get a feel

for what the market wants. Then, after seeing the results you will know exactly

when you can scale things up to increase your revenue.

Having your own t-shirt business can be fun and exciting for some extra money or

as a full-time income source. If you really believe in your ideas and have the

passion and wisdom to follow a strategic, well thought out plan, the sky’s the limit

for you. Now go out there and make it happen!
