Been Trying my hand at Teespring. Made 0 sells so far

10 replies
What advice would you give for a teespring beginner? My only traffic method(which I have read usually works) is Facebook. not sure if I should be looking at other ways?

Here is a snapshot of recent ad testing. Getting a bunch of clicks but 0 sales.






My designs are original but maybe my targeting needs to be tweaked? I would love to show my designs to a teespringer to get some ideas on how to get these suckers to convert.

    maybe the design is bad... or you price are higher than regular t-shirts and co.

    I think you should hire a designer T-shirt.
    And to optimize advertising.
    Especially your niche market to be larger

    If you're getting a lot of clicks but no sales, as people have already said, your design might suck.

    On the plus side, you're getting some pretty cheap clicks man, I'd kill for 16c website clicks . (I'm paying 50c-$1 for my Teespring clicks. )

    You are getting great cpc! Try building up your Facebook page and posting some fun shareable content then do a promotion on 10% of your posts. Sometimes it's not as easy as doing ads. Building trust and a relationship with customers can take time. Good luck I hope it works out.

    Do not use PPE use event based ads. Its far much profitable and better to use your own site than third party websites like teespring.

    What is your niche? Funny or something?? Too many reason here. First, how is your design? How is your price? colors,..... or even information that make them less trust you?

    If you are marketing using only one method or channel, you are courting disaster in your marketing.

    Actually, you will be doomed to failure, in my humble opinion.

    Years ago, I started a music apparel business called Ellistrations. I made all sorts of music related apparel.

    Trumpet hats, Trombone shirts, flute purses. Anything that I could put on my embroidery machine, I would sew out. High quality embroidery, only the best.

    It was a tough business because there was a lot of competition, and I had to create and sew out a ton of shirts, hats, and bags.

    I marketed myself through all sorts of channels: My own E commerce site and auction sites as well as direct mail and email marketing.

    I went to all sorts of events and worked with all sorts of businesses.

    You have to do a ton of marketing in order to make money on these ventures.

    As a matter of fact, the guy that started Teespring had to bust his butt making phone calls all day long.

    You can see his video here:


    If you are using social media, you are going to need to use more than one site and you are going to have to enlist the help of others to make any real money.

    Based on what you've posted here, I can give you this advice:

    First, find a particular niche that you can create shirts for. Marketing to everyone is marketing to no one.

    Second, you need to build a cheap website or blog. In your case, I would think of using a Pinterest account at the very least to display and show your designs on.

    Third, I would find out where my niche usually hangs out at and get to know them. You can eventually market to them where they hang out at.

    Just using one method of selling on a social media site is not a good marketing plan. I would recommend using a network or web of social networks to create a matrix of social media.

    Yep, it's a lot of work, but as you can see from many of the comments on this forum, any type of Internet Marketing requires a lot of effort.

    God Bless,

    Elmo

    I would really suggest you to have a spy tool, to spy on your competitors FB ads.. so that you can know which designs are working.
    Tip: Create a good fan base of your niche and then promote
