E-commerce is one of the best ways to get rich nowadays. With social media as the perfect partner, it's mostly about finding the right product people want and offering it in a smart way.
He is the only of maybe one of few got interviewed with realistic numbers, i feel like most entrepreneurs like to exagerate their numbers when they get interview, but this one is free flowin and i dont sense any of that. he only gets 30-40% of that mil
You pretty much have to have your personal brand and a stack of followers already. Then you can sell ice to the eskimos, as it were. If they like you, they’ll buy into whatever you’re selling. If you already have graphic design and marketing skills and understand demographics and how people *need* to be part of a trend, you’re already half way there. The average person who doesn’t get their “personality” all over TikTok and other platforms, won’t be anywhere near as successful as to sell $800k to $1mil in t-shirts a year!
Yep, I have come to the same conclusion myself. That's why for my project I am starting with trying to build an instagram/Tiktok following first....well, thats the plan. The Insta course I am following along with, the guy built a 40k following in 4 months...so here is hoping I can replicate that sort of success!
You can be bitter, or you can just open your eyes and realize there are KOL for hire. Ofc you would have to spend more but the guy does that himself so he saved some more money, that's all. Come to a business channel with a business mind, you're here without the right mindset I think. You should see more self-help video first, imho.
@@skyeriouspieceofmind6138 It’s merely my observation of many successful and unsuccessful people over the years. Those that built fan base/followers via personality and marketing skills = Get more $$$ales. No followers = Empty shop = No sales. It still requires a decent sized audience with eyes on via paid advertising/good marketing skills, the algorithms, social proof engagement and shares by existing or new followers with emotional buy-in on the trend, if you’re going to make the big bucks in one year as being spoken of in this video. I didn’t “come to a business channel”. It came to me via YT’s algorithms and I engaged, which is also how this content creator makes money. Not sure what triggered you to identify with my comment as being “bitter”. That sounds like projection imho. Perhaps it’s you who should first see more self-help videos to find out why 😉😊✌🏼
When showing the shirts quickly in between shots I feel like they disappear from the screen before I can read them completely. If you flash photos on screen please leave them a second or two longer…I had a hard time even rewinding the video and to stop the screen in time to read the shirts completely.
how much did all of those machines cost? how much does it cost to pay all those employees? how much goes into your business? how much is the overhead for a big ole warehouse like that?
How does he get such great margins? My "COST PRICE" for a cheap Gildan 5000 single side printed T-shirt with Printify is $40 CAD ($29 USD) including delivery. No custom tags or anything...just a single print on the front of the shirt. To make even just one dollar or so profit with all the fees and after taxes these basic quality t-shirts would have to sell for nearly $50 CAD/ $36.50USD each..To clear only a dollar or 2! ...Is PRINTFUL that much better than PRINTIFY? Maybe it's just the Canadian Printify partners making it near impossible to profit?
It's possible that printful and printify serves the US market better than other markets. I'm not from there and the costs are difficult to get good margins on
1. You need a lot of followers already. I mean alot. 2. These are followers that engage too. Not bots or you bought the traffic like a farm, which is waste of time and can get you later banned. 3. Other alternative is you pay for advertising to attract targeted traffic which is costly. 4. Or your setting yourself up to failure. You got to have numbers i.e. followers first. So build that first if you want this to succeed. 5. Make sure you own your list of followers. Maybe lead them to subscribe optin form. Lead them to your website cause if for some reason socioal media shadow bans you for whatever reason or you lose all your content, you will then lose all your followers and have to start again. Having built your email list means you don't start all over again.
So you didn't even have the product, nor the website or anything besides some mockups but hundreds of people out of nowhere just popped up and started to demand your non-existent product? Right....that happens all the time..
@magyarvandor977 If you listen to what he said, he promoted the design before the site was up and running. Listening is an important tool in all kinds of relationships. He's a good listener. He keeps up with what his customers are saying and even works their ideas into his business. Smart young guy.
Reproducing identical designs without permission is definitely a big issue. It's not just about copying someone's work; it's about respecting the creativity and effort that went into the original design.
Ive been doing merch drop shipping for years, and produce my original designs through Illustrator, and although this story was very inspiring, I just don't understand with the current designs, how he was able to produce so many sales.
It's all about marketing and creating a brand. He is the brand. That Hak Tuah girl sold merch off of a 7 second viral clip. Today's times you have to create a personal brand. Designs are secondary.
Great inspiration video. Not sure if you have a suggestion but if so what do you suggest for those who want to start POD but cant afford the initial fulfillment costs of Printful
Must be stacking tax write offs to only be making 100k a year on paper hahaha. Good for him. Seems like a great guy, and very smart cashing in on the goofiness of this generation.
I am trying to understand the access to Printful facilities as this was filmed. Its not his place but was appearing at first it was … although trying to figure out how he built that in 2 years was racking my brain. Love the channel but this one was confusing to me.
I know upflip is trying to target small entrepreneurs but your missing the people who want to see interviews with printful ceo. this 1 guy is bringing them millions in revenue. Printful gets half from all its sellers
So this is a printful factory, but does he normally have access and contact with printful like this... and the t-shirt he's printing here are those the same quality for everyone else.
@UpFlip got to ask... as there are different factories that printful uses over the world and country that they don't own 🏭 🏭 ✨️ I wouldn't expect them to all be equal unless they supply them with equipment and products 😉
You have a few options like Amazon, eBay, Shopify, etc. Just make sure you’re following all the legal and regulatory requirements for selling medicines online.
@@divinenonbinary it was a video on this guy's journey, or that's what I took it as. I didn't hear them mention this was an ad for Printiful. If it's an ad, then it makes sense. If not, how does he have so much access? The regular POD owner, won't.
guy is a social media genius selling to his audience. very easy business - IF you know how to sell through tik tok and all this other stuff... image how much he could sell without his hairstyle from 1980 :)
printful profit margins on tshirts if you want to be competitive on price on platforms like etsy are 10% AT BEST. this 40% plus he talks to is complete nonsense
Okay, so Bryson’s T-shirts are flying off the virtual shelves thanks to a viral TikTok. Does this mean we should all be focusing on social media hype over product quality?
Social media can definitely boost visibility, but product quality is what keeps customers coming back. It's all about balancing the hype with something that delivers! 👕
@UpFlip I'm talking about third-party platforms not being happy that their customers are trying to use their platform for asking for reviews. Yep, pressing customers to leave "positive" reviews on some platforms will get you problems. Which some people may not know 🤔
@thefxautopilot I do the same as he does... yes it's 100% passive if u set it up right . He got lucky, been doing this for a year but I make 50 bucks a month... businesses takes time keep that in mind
how do you know is fake? you could complain to the Business bureau in your State and get them accountable, liable, and responsible for misleading business practices. But there has to be proof it is fake, deceitful business practices are criminal.

Props to this guy, I would never be caught dead with one of these ironic hipster gen Z shirts but he knows his market and is killing it.
Cool story bro
The secret to crushing it in business? Know your market! 😉
I just had a look at his website, his designs are terrible lol! Goes to show its all about knowing your market and how to promote on TikTok.
@@747domAgreed often the companies that have the best quantity don't do well it's all about sales and marketing!
you don't need marketing or brain when you have a luck. Everything is about luck. it's all about luck

Good luck. You got this 👊

If you flash photos on screen please leave them a second or two longer…I had a hard time even rewinding the video and to stop the screen in time to read the shirts completely.
You can use the spacebar to stop the video at the frame you want, and use the angle brackets to move back and fwd
I´ve would like to know, how do they handle the Charge backs
My thoughts as well, also after all fees and taxes how much actually left with
Heck Yeah! Right ON! Love it!
Inspired to venture into this industry? ☺️
how much did all of those machines cost? how much does it cost to pay all those employees? how much goes into your business? how much is the overhead for a big ole warehouse like that?
All of that is handled by Printful. Thats how Print on Demand works.
Great video Upflip, you never disappoint. Thank you.
Thank you so much! Your support means a lot to us! ✨

that price is ridiculous. Gooten and Printify both do Gildan front prints for like $10 + shipping
so uh why do so many people wear black hoodies outside when its over 100 degrees?
just came from a dropshipping upflip vid, to this FORGET drop shipping lol. Which is it.
Love the Motivation. In N.Z. I need this.
It's never too late to start. Go get it! 💪
Kia Kaha! Me too!
thanks for this interview. very insightful.. till next time....
I’m more interested on his perspective on why his first clothing brand failed.
That's a great angle we might look into next time. Thanks for watching! ☺️

This is amazing! did you need an LLC for this business?
Isn't a facismile or identical design reproduction by other tee shirt printers a huge issue.
Reproducing identical designs without permission is definitely a big issue. It's not just about copying someone's work; it's about respecting the creativity and effort that went into the original design.
Maybe that’s the reason his previous brand didn’t work out 🤷♂️
Great interview and story. First time on this channel. Not the last.
Welcome to the channel, and we’re excited to have you back for more! 🙌
Can you make a video of the roofing business?
right and how insurance pays etc.
One of the most honest videos I have seen this guy knows his market.
Ive been doing merch drop shipping for years, and produce my original designs through Illustrator, and although this story was very inspiring, I just don't understand with the current designs, how he was able to produce so many sales.
people love him and how he presents the shirts or ideas on his shirts. That's the bulk of his success and less on the designs.
His designs are trash
TikTok! He knows his audience and he knows how to market to them
It's all about marketing and creating a brand. He is the brand. That Hak Tuah girl sold merch off of a 7 second viral clip. Today's times you have to create a personal brand. Designs are secondary.

how can you delivery your products to other countries?

Its on the list ;)

He had money if he had to pay them first. I don't understand how he did it besides the marketing side of things.

To learn more about it, please keep on watching! ☺️
@@UpFlip Thank you sir
Ok
Hi
If ihave brand name iwant to painted on t shirts how much it cost
wow - nice job!
Glad you liked it! 💪
It seems like he copyrights his shirts (etc). I'd like to know how he does this.
Is it having his company/brand name printed on the item too?
Wait, so this whole facility is not this guys business but rather a shooting location that you guys shot the interview ?
It's his printing partner! :)
I don't understand, what exactly is he doing? Printful is not his factory though...he is just making the designs like all the other POD creators?
I started an cleanning product bussiness in india. ❤
That's amazing! Best of luck with your business!
Where are his social media links??
Check out his website in the description! ☺️
So this is a printful factory, but does he normally have access and contact with printful like this... and the t-shirt he's printing here are those the same quality for everyone else.
The quality of printed T-shirts is always consistent! ☺️
@UpFlip got to ask... as there are different factories that printful uses over the world and country that they don't own 🏭 🏭 ✨️ I wouldn't expect them to all be equal unless they supply them with equipment and products 😉
@@onlyagreeingsometimesI thought printify does that, not printful
If I understand correctly this guy takes orders from Printful and pays them a commission for customers?
What about all that equipment he set up during these 2 years? Did he get an SBA loan?
Brother, I do not have a website but I want to sell medicines online. Can you tell me? On which platform can I sell my product? medicine
You have a few options like Amazon, eBay, Shopify, etc. Just make sure you’re following all the legal and regulatory requirements for selling medicines online.
In germany people dont just buy
Doesn't printiful deal with customer service?
something is sketchy here.
I'm confused... Why does he have this type of access to the POD factory?
Most likely do to his high sales I would think. His success promotes their business for potentially new customers in the POD business model.
Wasn’t this a printful ad? How else would they film it 🤷♂️
@@divinenonbinary it was a video on this guy's journey, or that's what I took it as. I didn't hear them mention this was an ad for Printiful. If it's an ad, then it makes sense. If not, how does he have so much access? The regular POD owner, won't.
would you like to work with me from home? RedHatOnlineJob
Probably works there and does his own thing on top of it?
Or he has a benefactor that pays that much for one shirt
It sure helps if you're funny, young, and good looking.
Thank you!!! Great episode! Super informative! 🙏🦋
So glad you enjoyed it! 🙏
guy is a social media genius selling to his audience. very easy business - IF you know how to sell through tik tok and all this other stuff...
image how much he could sell without his hairstyle from 1980 :)
Ha, IMHO his haircut suits him. Cute
His hair is part of his persona, and def suits him! He's rocking it 🙌
First honest vid i came across regarding profits.

Doesn't some platforms not like when you ask customers to leave a review 🤔
Requesting reviews is standard practice in any industry. However, pressuring customers to leave "positive" reviews is not permitted. 😉

I want to connect with him. Awesome video.
THE brilliant ❤,I do art work ,i am in London ,
Where is the place
This is straight from one of Printful's offices in NC! 🙌
Did he say 100K a year but your video mentions 100K a month ?
First year was 800K second was 1.1 Million. So 100K per month is good ballpark.
His best day was 50K
That clarifies..thank you!
Dude said… “I have a lot of tattoos.” Bwahahaha bruh 95 percent of your skin is showing lol 😂
It's a matter of perspective 😉
charlotte mentioned
Yup, this was shot in NC! 🙌
I will give you plain t-shirt only $9
Happy for him, but Printful is taking a SERIOUS percentage out of his sales!!!
He works for Printful as a salesman at this point. It’s not a bad thing but he’s got serious potential. Bless Up. 🙏
But his business has ZERO costs so where's the problem? If you sell $1m and Printful takes $800k how is $200k of no-risk money a problem?
@thefxautopilot I do the same as he does... yes it's 100% passive if u set it up right . He got lucky, been doing this for a year but I make 50 bucks a month... businesses takes time keep that in mind
They have the employees, warehouse, merch, printing equipment.... What are you talking about. Dude made 400k just making an image and no overheard
So he already had a social media following
He started from scratch for both brands he owned since it's hard to migrate fans from one brand to another.
