About This Course

Launch your own online t-shirt business without buying any inventory or printing any shirts.

In this course you will learn to launch and promote a T-Shirt label online. We will avoid all inventory costs and overhead by using print on demand merchants to sell our designs on shirts around the world. In this course, We will promote on social media to get free marketing. I won't just show you how to upload shirts for sale, we will go through building a lasting brand, and developing a workflow for producing high-quality art. We will use structured descriptions to make uploading our designs a breeze. Even better, what we design for T-shirts can be made for sale on other products, like stickers coffee mugs, wall clocks, and just about any other product you can imagine.

I'll be giving you the knowledge I acquired in the last two years running my own T-shirt businesses. I have had a lot of fun running online T-shirt shops just like the ones we will be creating. Everyday smiles are brought to my face via emails alerting me to a purchase. While it is hard to make huge money selling t-shirts, it's relatively easy to make consistent good money. But it's not about the money. The best part of the t-shirt business is knowing that somewhere around the world, somebody is wearing something you have designed. It's also fun to wake up to emails saying you have made money while sleeping!

I hope this course get you as excited about T-shirts as I am, and I wish you great success.

If you have any trouble, please post in the discussions part of the course and I will get back to you!!

I love to learn and teach. I am a free-spirited creator and artist in many disciplines. My courses focus on selling art online, energy work, and music. I teach what would help a younger me, including the strategies I used to sell over 20,000 copies of my artwork without advertising, energy techniques I have learned to unlock human potential, and...

I wish instead of just speaking about this stuff like the temple brand you would have showed us a one you made even if it was made up?

Recommendation: put a segdway between the sections, as it is now I thought that was the whole thing when it was just a section.

Sadly the whole thing taught me very little. The actual teaching was superficial and sometimes one little thing (that really doesn’t matter) was chosen to be compared from all the sites discussed. It’s a shame Udemy doesn’t screen for such stuff.

The presentation and delivery were okay. This has the potential to be really good but it needs content that delivers value and not just to fill up time.

I have no experience with any of the information that I was given so far in this course. I only have a dream of starting a t-shirt business with no idea how to accomplish this goal. However, with all of this wonderful information I've been given, I have no doubt my dream will come true and with great success.

Great course, very useful so far (I am at lesson 5), would recommend!

Unfortunately, it appears as though the "lesson descriptions" the author talks about do not actually exist!?

Doug really knows how things work in the T-Shirt business world. I went through the whole course once before attempting any exercises. I didn't even upload 15 designs I've created or and never posted anything on any social media accounts yet and already made my FIRST SALE within 10 DAYS of opening an account. True, it takes great designs to sell T-shirts online but it also takes tenacious marketing and excellent presentation online. Bottom line, this course is worth every penny if willing to spend the time and effort to make great designs and market them using the methods Doug puts out.

The only downside to this course is the time-lapse with other T-shirt vendor sites he recommends. It would be a good idea to cover Society 6 and Cafe Press with more details as I've spent more time with those sites putting my art up than with Red Bubble.

Other than that, I highly recommend this course compared to all others on Udemy for T-shirt design and marketing.
