I launched the grand opening of my t-shirt store and I made $13 in profit yesterday.
It might not be much but it’s pretty cool seeing people buy stuff that I produced.
I advertised my store through my personal Facebook and Instagram accounts and it’s been well received by my friends. I’ll definitely do more advertising on social media in the near future like using Facebook marketplace.
Society6 helped launch my store with a two-day sale and they sent me a 30% off code for everything in my store. My only complaint about the promotion is that I would prefer it to last for at least a week.
I’m also looking at other platforms to sell my shirts because Society6 barely pays artists.
I only get a 10% cut from each sale and I think it’s too low considering other sites like Inktale will give you 15%.
So just a heads up I’m moving my store soon due to these reasons.
The reason why I went with Society6 is that they have good quality shirts and I don’t pay shipping. They’re also well established and a trusted site.
Stay tuned for news on my relaunch.
