Starting my own t-shirt and button pin products and I need some tips please

6 replies
Hello, I'm an aspiring graphic designer and hoping to get into the business of t-shirts and button pins. Hopefully the income I get here would help in funding my college years later on and stabilizing my income while I live on my own. So I have a couple of questions:

1. What's the best site I can use to put in my products? I was thinking on getting a site that has a direct connection to facebook or tumblr that way it would be easy to market them.

2. What's the best social network site for this kind of business? Tumblr? Pinterest? Facebook? I currently am most familiar with Tumblr and I see a lot of young entrepreneurs building their sites there but is Pinterest even better? And are fan pages on Facebook just as powerful to rake in traffic?

3. How do I gain reputation and credibility faster? I know it takes a while but how should I start engaging with possible customers in order to appeal to them?

4. I know that it takes time and ads don't rake in traffic or get me customers in a day but how long should I spend on this? How much time should I contribute to this for this to stabilize?

5. This business isn't big and it's still in planning but do I have to start planning for FB ads as well? How effective are they? Any tips?


I'm pretty new to this online marketing and selling and I would really appreciate every bit of advice and tips even if it's not part of my questions!

    From what I hear Facebook is the best place to sell T-Shirts. That's the craze right now.

      Ah, I see. Choosing the right social media helps right? So if I did choose something other than Facebook then getting in traffic would be twice as difficult?

    You can sell your stuff on Amazon.com; this site has a lot of traffic. You can also share your products on Facebook.
