Teespring questions

Hello warrior forum people! I have some questions for those of you who are Teespring experts (or at least know more than me).

1) When it comes to Fan Pages, is it better to have a lot of pages dedicated to different niches, and promote the different T-shirts in the appropriate niche? Or is it better to have one general page and post the T-shirts to that?

What I'm currently doing is the first one, but I just thought that maybe it makes more sense to do it the second way, because that way you are growing one massive page (but less targeted?).

Well, I guess that's my only question. Thanks!

    Oh yeah, also, do you guys post regular content to the page as well? What I'm doing is posting about 5 regular links to cool stuff related to the page per T-shirt ad to mix it up. I didn't read that in any particular guide, just thought it would be a good idea.

    Make a targeted new fan page every time you go to a different niche.

    It takes about a minute to create a new page and slap a cover on it.

      Okay, so another question then:

      1) Doesn't it look weird when people see a new page that only has 1 post, and its a sponsored ad for selling a t-shirt? Or does it matter?

      2) Should I post regular content to the page to give it more legitimacy? Or is that not important?

      Thanks

        When I create fan pages (Currently I have around 8. One with 40K fans and the rest all with over 10K fans.)

        I create the page, post a few pictures (memes seem to be good).

        Then I spend maybe 20-30 dollars in a page like campaign to generate a few hundred to a couple thousand fans. If you know how to target you can get likes that are under .01 a click.

        After that, I set up a scheduler to post a picture/post two to three times a day.

        Once I start seeing a little customer interaction on the posts, I start promoting shirts to that niche.

        Some people do it differently, I do it this way.

        But I will say I try to limit 1-2 shirts a week to any specific campaign being posted to the page. That way it gives you a little bit of a buffer in terms of making your page look too "promote-y"

        Hope that helps.

          This is perfect actually. After testing FB for a couple of years, I've found this to be the perfect formula as well. You really need to constantly keep your fans engaged with the posts if you want them to see your promoted items.

          What do you use to schedule posting your pictures?

            In terms of Teespring fan pages, I would do it both ways.

            I would create fan pages for each category of shirts (hunting,fishing, sports) and I would create a general fan pages as well. You can post all of your shirt to the general pages or a shirt have does not have an easy category.

            For the interest pages, you will want to add other content related to that category to help boost interaction and sharing. You can run ads to get engagement with your pages.

            I just use the schedule option right on the "post" button.

            It's a little drop down arrow that allows you to schedule the posts.

            It works like a charm.

            When I know I'm going to be MIA for a little while I'll usually pile up 20 or so posts and split them up 3 times a day.

            Allows me to have some breathing room.

        1) No because they don't see the page....

        2) You can post some posts, no harm.

        Think about how you go about your day to day on facebook.... when you see a page post a post do you go and visit that page because I know I don't. I'll like or comment on the post on my feed but that's as far as I go and I think the majority are the same.
