WOW GOD IS GOOD! This video just appeared in my feed and I knew it was God as I am in season to start my new art business. Only received that tshirts should be a product in my business just yesterday!🤯 (Look at the Lord!) It's only by Him that I could fall upon your channel and thank you so much for breaking everything down. Your video answered all my questions and I feel so blessed to walk this part of my purpose out with so much clarity. Thank you and God bless ☀🧡🕊🍃
Just for info and a heads up. I did things the old fashioned way 7 years for Christmas t-shirts. Bought a bunch of plain white t-shirts at walmart on sale, then bought iron on transfers and put them on the shirts. Then drew designs and added gem stone embellishments to outline them and added holiday type buttons that I hand sewn on. Sewed lace around the neck, bottom and arm areas. I played with dressing up the iron on I put on the shirt instead of just leaving it plain with the iron on. I love tie dying most everything. So I had fun dying them. Then sold them at the flea market for $50 per shirt in November of that year. Spent part of my summer that year doing this, but it was worth it and lots of fun. 200 t-shirts I bought in sizes large to 4x at Walmart's under garment sale in january of that year. The larger sizes sold quick. You can do many things to t-shirts. On mother's day last year I took 100 t-shirts and cut them, sewing in lace for panels and turned them into swing bottom tops with the same idea I did with the Christmas shirts, only with a mother theme. We sale other items at our stand. But those shirts sold out quick. I even took orders to make more with instructions I asked each customer how they wanted their shirt designed. Most people shrug and don't have a clue until you bring out your album of previous shirts you made. I'm a home sewer, so everything I make to sell I take a picture of it. Keep track of everything from what sold to the prices of how much things costs to make the garment. Learned this years ago from buying thrift store clothes, redoing them and selling them on eBay. Everyone loves a one of a kind outfit. Get ideas from Pinterest. It's where I learned to do panels on t-shirts. 🎉❤
So I have started my shirt and cup business and have been doing it for 2 months now and have not made a single sale. I came across the idea just from watching different people but I just wanted to say that starting a business like this is so so so hard because so many people are doing it and you have to really know people and have a good following on socials. You have to make yourself stand out from all of the others. I knew it was hard but I didn’t realize how hard. I hope everybody has better luck then me on their small business journey!!❤❤
I almost spent 67$ to get this information right before this appeared in my feed. I super appreciate the value of content you just taught us. Subscribed and thumbs up! Thank you
I have watch many, many, many 😂😂😂😂videos on t-shirt making etc this is the BEST video I have seen so far! This was easy to follow I am a 54 year old professional artist about to start my t-shirt business and I’m really excited! Thank you so much for sharing!
I don’t know why I’ve never thought to just order my transfers. Finding a printer was the only thing that had me STRESSSSED about starting my business. Thank you so much 💙💙
Finally a video where you tell us where to get products from! 😂 I find lots of people do this but don’t *actually* tell you where they get their transfers or clothes from so this is super helpful even tho I’m in Australia so finding reasonable prices for products I think is that hard part
Just don't get discouraged when you aren't making $200 a day. Just like everything in sales, it takes time for the word to get out, and there are slow times as well. Remember these things as well: Just because you like something doesn't necessarily mean a lot of other people will. Look at trends and use that as a guide. Remember that just because you've purchased an image, doesn't mean you can use it on something you sell. You can buy some images with "commercial" rights and sell those. Make sure you aren't using trademarked/copywrite images such as any Disney, Marvel, and many, many more. Read up on the laws so you don't get sued by big corporations. Just FYIs to help you protect yourself as well as keep you from getting discouraged when you start out.

Hi Sallie. I’ve watched hours and hours of your videos which are a wealth of small business knowledge. I love the way you intelligently break everything down for your viewers. Thank you for your grace, kindness, and generosity. I love this one so much, it answered my questions about profitability of custom DTF designs. The series you mentioned at the end sounds fantastic.

@@SimplySalliehi could I get the link to where you got the press machine and the other products I will need to start my own shirt business thank you in advance
@@SimplySallie So when doing a Roll or a bundle how do you know how to size the prints you created on your own? How do you know the correct measurements for a Adult T Shirt or a Kids T shirt
It's a shame! I NEED to really get myself motivated and MOVE! I have 2 heat presses now! I was gifted a Cricut Explore 2 machine a couple years ago, I bought a Cricut heat press last year. I recently bought a 5-1Heat Press machine where I can make t-shirts, mugs/tumblers, plates, hats. I prayed for God to help me make extra income to supplement my Social Security and I'm literally not using it! I felt a strong conviction while I watched your video and inspired as well; so thank you! I want to create faith-based products. I LOVE the idea of the custom DTFs; it will save tons of time, not to mention printer ink! Thanks for making this video; it really as inspired me to start my T-shirt business. I'm a Procreate artist and have an Etsy shop; however, I considering leaving that platform...Blessing!

Amazingly thorough video!!!! LOVE these designs. It was wild how closely they all matched esp the just peachy which I’d def wear! Thanks for this INFO!!!!! ❤❤❤ I’m considering a shirt line for mental illness awareness.
Thank you so much for this video. Honestly you have no idea how much & how BIG of a help it’s been for me. I am just getting started, so this was EXACTLY what I needed for this part of the process!! I even went through My Craft Store! OMG!! They have been so AMAZING! I’m actually putting in a 3rd order with them. So once again.. THANK YOU 🎉🎉🎉 GOD BLESS YOU 🤍🙏🏽✝️
Ive been watching you for yrs and am such a fan. I have seen you make basically everything i can think of!! I've been sooo stuck on I NEED a sublimation printer, then I need a good press. So my husband has offered to buy my a decent press. I've been using a regular iron with my cricut for yrs with no issues. Limitations yes but it's workrd for what I needed it to. Im So glad I found this video!!!!
Thank you Sallie! This was really in depth and a wealth of knowledge for people looking to start a business. Everything came out so pretty & professionally.
Thank you for saving me so much money- I thought I had to buy a sublimation printer along with all the expensive ink. You are truly a God send. I’m so excited to get started with my t-shirt business 🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉.
Thank you for your positive, informative, and very thorough videos. I love watching your videos and always come away inspired and encouraged to try something new - that it might not really be as hard as I thought. And I would love to see more videos in this series. I would also love to hear your thoughts on how to choose what items/areas to focus on when starting a business. Thank you so much ~
I am so glad I stumbled upon your video. Initially I started out with a POD model, but realized it was not aligning with my brand and eye for detail. I'm feeling more confident about being in control of the design, production, fulfillment, and shipment part of my business. Thank you!
I've been leaning towards DTF and getting rid of my screen printing stuff since my orders haven't big as big as I'd like. Totally agree with the cost equaling out and a huge TIME SAVER.
Thank you for the wealth of info. I am a artist with I have a disability. Been thinking a lot about getting my designs on t-shirts and how, cost etc.. what a blessing to come upon your video. God's mercies are new every morning..
Thank you Sallie! I have been wondering what to do for an at home business and you explained things so well, I took notes. This might be something I could do! I work a 12 hours factory job right now and have been wanting to find something I could do to get me out of that job but still bring in more money. I'm hoping this could be a way. I want to be home for my kids, since I homeschool 2 of them. Yes, it's hard and challenging while I work this weird factory schedule, but it takes a lot of time away from the family. Thanks again for this video, I hope to see more!
Hello I’m glad I came across your video. Thanks for showing me because I been wanting to start my tee shirt business for 2 years honestly I was scared because I felt I wouldn’t have enough different designs and I knew buying them would cost but after watching you I pray I get started soon . Thanks so much. My God bless all our businesses in Jesus name
This was very helpful, thank you so much! I had not considered, in depth, using DTFs before and the info and breakdown are very helpful for me. And I do think offering a series like you mentioned about other items would also be great. Good to help those of us considering what to add to our offerings.
Thank you for showing us the entire business model in a few minutes. Wow, so easy to make with small equipment. This is definitely a great business model.
Holy Spirit led me to this video. Great explanation of everything. This was so helpful. I just want to make shirts to wear to church but then you popped up with this great information. Thank you so much.
Hello 👋 i started watching you years ago. Everytime something new comes up in the crafting business , i come straight to you . I know you have the best information. ❤
I would have to agree...as i have been doing custom designs for people i know from word of mouth...i too am having a hard time to get regular customers
Even if you are quick, you need about 5 minutes per t-shirt, including packaging and labeling = 12 t-shirts per hour. And you still have to sell it. So let's assume 5-7 t-shirts per hour = $144 per hour - if everything goes well. The purchase of the equipment and electricity still have to be deducted. Of course you also have to pay taxes etc. So we assume §50-75 per hour. Thanks for the interesting video.
Hello Sallie! I would like to thank you for such a great in-depth video. You provided a lot great information that you didn't have too. This was so amazing 😊. Be blessed and take care!
Great video as always! I watched this while pressing transfers for an order- your timing is pretty accurate! I was able to press 18 designs while watching 😊
This was so super helpful!! Weeding mandalas for orders are NOT QUICK so transfers might just be the way to go. Thank you for always giving us such great tips!
WOW, what a wonderful teacher you are. I just found your channel and subscribed. I love the way you broke everything down into steps. I will definitely check out your other videos and links. I have always thought of starting a t-shirt business. I do have some equipment I already use since I have 2 etsy shops already, so my upfront investment would even be less. Great video for a beginner.
Young lady from a granny, you rock. Your voice is so sweet and calming. Thank you for your wealth of information. I would love to get my grandchildren involved in their own business. I would handle all hot 🔥 machines. But I can guide them with computer and ordering. Thank you sweetie, keep sharing ❤
Thank you so much for a thorough and professional video. I love how you made it all into one, discussing your business strategy and bringing us along on crafting your beautiful shirts! Many blessings to you!
This is such a well thought out video! So good! I've been looking for a DTF transfer company & this was just what I needed to see! Easy ordering! I have all the other supplies! I'm ready to go! Thanks for sharing! 👏👏👏
Hi! I loved the breakdown of everything that goes into a business like this! It’s really helpful😊 I am toying with the idea to make my own tshirt designs but not sure if I can financially pull it off at this time. 😂 One question I had, (and apologies if I missed this if you already touched on it) does the gang roll get shipped to you as an actual roll, or does the company slice each design and send it flat?
I have the same question. Supacolor sent me samples but no explanation. I think one large design for shirt is on sheet. And small designs as many it can fit on a sheet, that is what they seem to call gang sheet/roll.
Thank you! I’m really want to make my Christian/Family based shirt business (other things later) so bad & you helped me so much! Now time to invest in my equipment, products & transfers. Along with my custom designs. That I have no ideas about 😂. I hope it’s not too complicated to make a design. God bless and have a good day.
Don’t start a business with companies that connect you with manufacturing companies claiming you will make a lot of money. You still have to attract people to your store. Avoid.
This video is incredibly useful and informative. It provides a price breakdown and details about the equipment needed to start a T-shirt business. Thank you so much for taking the time to create this helpful resource for us.
Thanks Sallie, this was really informative! I hadn’t thought of doing it this way as a main strategy. Intriguing! I would most definitely be interested in similar videos in a series.
Great video! 😊 Do you make your own designs or buy them? How do you really know how big the designs are when you put them on a gang roll? I did see that there were rulers on the side when you were placing your design on them but are the rulers accurate? Also do you size down your designs depending on what size shirt you put them on? For example do you put an 8 inch design on a small shirt vs. a 10 inch design on Large.
Thank you! I make some and buy some usually. The website tells you the size as you’re sizing up and down! I would choose the standard adult size transfer which is usually 10-10.5” wide. It will work well for mostly all adult sizes. You could of course size up and down as you wish!
Thank you so much, we are just about to start a business with our kids and you video helped us so much of where to start and broke it all down. Thank you so much! xx
That is profit of making each shirt using the cost strategy I used. Of course a few other things will go into that (like time it takes to ship, listing the item, etc. ) but that’s the cost after your materials and the time creating one shirt! 😊
GREAT , GREAT breakdown !!!! Very informative and detailed , you tbh really didn’t leave anything of super importance out .. one of the best breakdowns I’ve seen by far . Thanks a million !!!!!
I have been watching you for a long time. You are the person who most influenced my decision to start a tshirt business. I’m very hopeful to grow my business this year. Thank you for all the advice, information and guidance!
Hi Sallie, I absolutely love those designs. I want to start a t shirt business, but without paying a € 1500,- startup budget at once for all the tools. First I like to buy a press and look if I can sell some shirts before I make bigger investments like a sublimation printer etc. Your video is very helpful, so thank you for making to find these kind of information easy. Greetings from the Netherlands
This was a great video for information! I could see where this could supplement a current business and start small and grow. Thanks for taking all the time to make this video to help total strangers!
Who did really good with this video you explained everything so clearly and I would say I’m more knowledgeable and confident to start my business. Thank you. You are appreciated over here.
Im ready to start my own business. Im going to follow your advice and use these videos as tutorials. I wish there was courses to learn about shirt printing. But im just going to do it! God will guide me😊 If anyone knows of an online course about shirt printing PLEASE LET ME KNOW.
New Subscriber here, the thought of doing tshirts became a reality for me, I just ordered my heat press 😊 I'm soo excited! This video crossed my path at the right time, thank you for sharing the breakdown and all the supplies, much appreciated!👍🏽
God has had it on my heart since last year to start a faith based t-shirt business, I finally have the funds to start it up and I've pondered and prayed for ages on it, unsure as to what I should do... Today I was looking through google and tiktok to see costs and the actual how to- and I was questioning myself, doubting myself and questioning God. Then I opened youtube and searched "how to start making t-shirts heat press" and your video came up so i clicked on it and as I was watching, you showed the shirt you were wearing that says, "He makes all things new". God is truly amazing and thank you for your unashamed faith. This video has pushed my heart to start this, for Him and for His glory. God bless your heart ♥ Also, can I ask what app/website you use to make your designs? I think they're really cool!
Thank you so much for this comment and sharing your story! It means so much to me! I firmly believe God set the desire in your heart to start this and you are going to do amazing things! 💕 God is so good! I know it’s scary- but you can do this! These designs were bought! I linked the sellers in my description 😊 I do make designs as well, but these were just designs I had to use.
Thank you so much! this was very helpful and informative. This video takes out the brainwork on all the gears you need and what the process looks like from top to bottom. So grateful!
Thank you for sharing your wealth of information. I can clearly understand how a small business starts and the expenses that go in. I am very inspired to start my own small business.
Thank you Sallie, I have thought about it as one of the tings to sell and appreciate your informative video and experience. I have one thing, you based your cost on buying t-shirts if you have an tax number but you didn't filter in the cost of getting a tax number. I know that the cost varies from state to state but might be something to add to the cost of creating a small business. I think with the cost of buy graphics and getting a tax number it might go over the 1000k. Some graphics can be costly and I know in my state a tax number is around 300.00. But that is a cost that will pay for itself very quickly. I would also like to mention that if you have a tax number you need to remember to save taxes for each sell so you are not surprised at the end of year owing taxes if you show you made a certain amount of money. Love your video because you made it seem so easy to get started and without having to by the more expensive DTF printer equipment which i know is very costly. This is a great work around on what you need to just get started.
Your video was so informative. Everything was straight into the point no fillers. Always wanted to start my own T-shirt business but I am not very tech savvy. you have inspired me. Thank you.
I run a Christian bath/body organic business, I also do shirts, candles, tea, seriously a lot of stuff. I also currently cut the shipping labels and tape them 😂 I’ve been looking into switching from vinyl press into DTF- Looking at printers for it but ordering them does seem much better
Amazing ... I wished I had the patience, confidence and discipline and consistency to go ahead with an independent business, but so many years working for someone else is beginning to take it's tall ... I believe being independent is also a mindset and gived you this greet feeling of freedom ... My greatest challenge is that so many steps makes me feel overwhelmed and I get discauraged ... On the other hand, how to sell your products? If you could maybe share this aspect with us, that would be so much appreciated ... If you have any advice for us people wanting to start something independently, but find the challenges I find, that would be great and inspiring to keep on going and make it happen!!! What would be in your opinion the first step from the check list and the next 2-3 steps to start something new? Thank you so much for your sharing your knowledge, story and experience with us !! 🙏
From UK: I watched another video earlier it said even Hot Pressing DTF transfers you need a mega well ventilated room as a little cloud of toxic smoke comes off! Is this true? Have you had any breathing, skin problems using DTF transfers?
Hi Sallie!!! I agree with some of the previous comments. I have also watched tons of videos, searched for tips , advice and this was detailed and what many of us need. So grateful I came across your video. 🙏🏼💕
I’m watching all the way from HAWAII! I love love love how sincere you are and genuine in sharing all of your knowledge. You taught so much and I truly appreciate you very much. My first shirts etc I print I will make sure to TAG you. Thank you for breaking everything down to the nitty gritty. 🙌🏽❤️

What's the next step after you create your shirts? Do you sell on Etsy or do you have a website?
Amazingly thorough video!!!! LOVE these designs. It was wild how closely they all matched esp the just peachy which I’d def wear! Thanks for this INFO!!!!! ❤❤❤ I’m considering a shirt line for mental illness awareness.
Thank you so much for this video. Honestly you have no idea how much & how BIG of a help it’s been for me. I am just getting started, so this was EXACTLY what I needed for this part of the process!! I even went through My Craft Store!
OMG!! They have been so AMAZING! I’m actually putting in a 3rd order with them. So once again.. THANK YOU 🎉🎉🎉
GOD BLESS YOU 🤍🙏🏽✝️
Ive been watching you for yrs and am such a fan. I have seen you make basically everything i can think of!! I've been sooo stuck on I NEED a sublimation printer, then I need a good press. So my husband has offered to buy my a decent press. I've been using a regular iron with my cricut for yrs with no issues. Limitations yes but it's workrd for what I needed it to. Im So glad I found this video!!!!
Thank you Sallie! This was really in depth and a wealth of knowledge for people looking to start a business. Everything came out so pretty & professionally.
Thank you for saving me so much money- I thought I had to buy a sublimation printer along with all the expensive ink. You are truly a God send. I’m so excited to get started with my t-shirt business 🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉.
same thought here.M grateful
Thank you for your positive, informative, and very thorough videos. I love watching your videos and always come away inspired and encouraged to try something new - that it might not really be as hard as I thought. And I would love to see more videos in this series. I would also love to hear your thoughts on how to choose what items/areas to focus on when starting a business. Thank you so much ~
I am so glad I stumbled upon your video. Initially I started out with a POD model, but realized it was not aligning with my brand and eye for detail. I'm feeling more confident about being in control of the design, production, fulfillment, and shipment part of my business. Thank you!
I've been leaning towards DTF and getting rid of my screen printing stuff since my orders haven't big as big as I'd like. Totally agree with the cost equaling out and a huge TIME SAVER.
Don't get discouraged with the screen printing press just yet. Printers have gotten lucky to find large orders.
Perfect timing!! I ordered my press yesterday (10/31/24) before even seeing this. Gave me wisdom in costs and time. Thank you! 🙏🏻
That’s amazing! Super happy for you in this next adventure! 😊
You mentioned how doing this video made you want to start selling shirts again. Why did you stop, may I ask?
Thank you for the wealth of info. I am a artist with I have a disability. Been thinking a lot about getting my designs on t-shirts and how, cost etc.. what a blessing to come upon your video. God's mercies are new every morning..
Thank you Sallie! I have been wondering what to do for an at home business and you explained things so well, I took notes. This might be something I could do! I work a 12 hours factory job right now and have been wanting to find something I could do to get me out of that job but still bring in more money. I'm hoping this could be a way. I want to be home for my kids, since I homeschool 2 of them. Yes, it's hard and challenging while I work this weird factory schedule, but it takes a lot of time away from the family. Thanks again for this video, I hope to see more!
Thank you so much for sharing that with me! I know you can do it ❤️
Yep. I hear you on the home schooling. Doing the same for my 5 year old. Already did it for my 17 year old. I wish you all the best!!!
Do you have to pay tax when doing business at home?
Obviously @@mr.a6267
Thank you Sallie, i have just watched this video , im inspired to start you know. You explained every detail so well. ❤❤
Thank you so much for this. I bought into all the sublimation stuff last year and it just wasn’t my thing. I’d love to have more videos like these!
Hello I’m glad I came across your video. Thanks for showing me because I been wanting to start my tee shirt business for 2 years honestly I was scared because I felt I wouldn’t have enough different designs and I knew buying them would cost but after watching you I pray I get started soon . Thanks so much. My God bless all our businesses in Jesus name
This was very helpful, thank you so much! I had not considered, in depth, using DTFs before and the info and breakdown are very helpful for me. And I do think offering a series like you mentioned about other items would also be great. Good to help those of us considering what to add to our offerings.
Thank you for showing us the entire business model in a few minutes. Wow, so easy to make with small equipment. This is definitely a great business model.
Holy Spirit led me to this video. Great explanation of everything. This was so helpful. I just want to make shirts to wear to church but then you popped up with this great information. Thank you so much.
Hello 👋 i started watching you years ago. Everytime something new comes up in the crafting business , i come straight to you . I know you have the best information. ❤
Oh my goodness this is so sweet of you to say! Y’all mean so much to me 🥰
I would love to start a t-shirt business from home, but aside from a heat press I think the most important thing is finding customers.
I would have to agree...as i have been doing custom designs for people i know from word of mouth...i too am having a hard time to get regular customers
Walkers way Autoglass. Google and contact him you won’t regret it.
Marketing on Social media with few bucks, or in etsy same thing
Thank you for hands on video. Please keep doing these type of videos. You are really helping us. Thank you 🙏🏾
Even if you are quick, you need about 5 minutes per t-shirt, including packaging and labeling = 12 t-shirts per hour. And you still have to sell it. So let's assume 5-7 t-shirts per hour = $144 per hour - if everything goes well. The purchase of the equipment and electricity still have to be deducted. Of course you also have to pay taxes etc. So we assume §50-75 per hour. Thanks for the interesting video.
Hello Sallie! I would like to thank you for such a great in-depth video. You provided a lot great information that you didn't have too. This was so amazing 😊. Be blessed and take care!
Great video as always! I watched this while pressing transfers for an order- your timing is pretty accurate! I was able to press 18 designs while watching 😊
How do you determine what the size of the DTFs need to be? Do you have standard sizes that you like to use?
Great question I will like to know the answer to this question please
Your passion for your subject matter shines through in every video. Keep inspiring us!
This was so super helpful!! Weeding mandalas for orders are NOT QUICK so transfers might just be the way to go. Thank you for always giving us such great tips!
WOW, what a wonderful teacher you are. I just found your channel and subscribed. I love the way you broke everything down into steps. I will definitely check out your other videos and links. I have always thought of starting a t-shirt business. I do have some equipment I already use since I have 2 etsy shops already, so my upfront investment would even be less. Great video for a beginner.
Young lady from a granny, you rock. Your voice is so sweet and calming. Thank you for your wealth of information. I would love to get my grandchildren involved in their own business. I would handle all hot 🔥 machines. But I can guide them with computer and ordering. Thank you sweetie, keep sharing ❤
Thank you so much for a thorough and professional video. I love how you made it all into one, discussing your business strategy and bringing us along on crafting your beautiful shirts! Many blessings to you!
You took the "scare" out of me bc I was INTIMIDATED until I saw this video now I'm EXCITED! Thank you! 🙏
This is such a well thought out video! So good! I've been looking for a DTF transfer company & this was just what I needed to see! Easy ordering! I have all the other supplies! I'm ready to go! Thanks for sharing! 👏👏👏
I’m so happy you enjoyed it Tracy! Excited for you 🥰
can you do a video of how to buy your designs and where to go
Great video. Love how you breakdown the costs.
Thank you Naomi! Glad you enjoyed it!
I’ve been praying for a video to come across to help me get started. Thank you!!!
Hi! I loved the breakdown of everything that goes into a business like this! It’s really helpful😊 I am toying with the idea to make my own tshirt designs but not sure if I can financially pull it off at this time. 😂
One question I had, (and apologies if I missed this if you already touched on it) does the gang roll get shipped to you as an actual roll, or does the company slice each design and send it flat?
I have the same question. Supacolor sent me samples but no explanation. I think one large design for shirt is on sheet. And small designs as many it can fit on a sheet, that is what they seem to call gang sheet/roll.
Thank you! I’m really want to make my Christian/Family based shirt business (other things later) so bad & you helped me so much! Now time to invest in my equipment, products & transfers. Along with my custom designs. That I have no ideas about 😂. I hope it’s not too complicated to make a design. God bless and have a good day.
Don’t start a business with companies that connect you with manufacturing companies claiming you will make a lot of money. You still have to attract people to your store. Avoid.
Yes, but you’re going to have to do that with whatever you’re selling!
This video is incredibly useful and informative. It provides a price breakdown and details about the equipment needed to start a T-shirt business. Thank you so much for taking the time to create this helpful resource for us.
Thanks Sallie, this was really informative! I hadn’t thought of doing it this way as a main strategy. Intriguing! I would most definitely be interested in similar videos in a series.
Thank you for this video. It actually breaks down the cost which is what I am in the process of doing.
Great video! 😊 Do you make your own designs or buy them? How do you really know how big the designs are when you put them on a gang roll? I did see that there were rulers on the side when you were placing your design on them but are the rulers accurate? Also do you size down your designs depending on what size shirt you put them on? For example do you put an 8 inch design on a small shirt vs. a 10 inch design on Large.
This is a great question!! I’m interested in knowing as well!
Thank you! I make some and buy some usually. The website tells you the size as you’re sizing up and down! I would choose the standard adult size transfer which is usually 10-10.5” wide. It will work well for mostly all adult sizes. You could of course size up and down as you wish!
Thank you so much, we are just about to start a business with our kids and you video helped us so much of where to start and broke it all down. Thank you so much! xx
When you say $271.125 per hour...was that profit? Or money brought in? I'm watching this before my coffee has had time to sink in...
That is profit of making each shirt using the cost strategy I used. Of course a few other things will go into that (like time it takes to ship, listing the item, etc. ) but that’s the cost after your materials and the time creating one shirt! 😊
I felt that on another level. #butfirstcoffee 😂
Hi Sallie, just curious as to to why you dont sell shirts on your etsy website? Is it because its not as profitable as the woodworking?
Very informative! I love how you broke everything down because not very many TH-camrs are mentioning this. Thanks so much for sharing!🙏🏽❤️
What designers do you use or how do you go about finding a designer to use?
GREAT , GREAT breakdown !!!! Very informative and detailed , you tbh really didn’t leave anything of super importance out .. one of the best breakdowns I’ve seen by far . Thanks a million !!!!!
I have been watching you for a long time. You are the person who most influenced my decision to start a tshirt business. I’m very hopeful to grow my business this year. Thank you for all the advice, information and guidance!
Comments like yours absolutely make my day. Thank you for being here for so long and wishing you the best of luck on your business 💕
Thank you for your reply! It means a lot. I wish you much success this year.
Good morning Sallie! 👋 Good morning everyone! 👋
Yes, please! A series would be great. I’m definitely looking for a side hustle. This sounds like a possibility.
Very very informative. I watched so many videos but none of them go in detail about cost/investment like this. I loved watching this video.
Hi Sallie, so excited to start my t-shirt business!Because of you,I will be prepared.
Hi Sallie, I absolutely love those designs. I want to start a t shirt business, but without paying a € 1500,- startup budget at once for all the tools. First I like to buy a press and look if I can sell some shirts before I make bigger investments like a sublimation printer etc. Your video is very helpful, so thank you for making to find these kind of information easy. Greetings from the Netherlands
This was a great video for information! I could see where this could supplement a current business and start small and grow. Thanks for taking all the time to make this video to help total strangers!
Super helpful and thorough. Thanks for sharing with us!
This video has been such a blessing. Thank you so much!!
I totally had to add you to my Playlist! You did a great job explaining how to get started. Thanks so much.
Yes 🎉 my mom and i are in the process in starting a tee shirt brand hard work and exciting.
6:38 Ok this is what I needed to know. So you do have to have money up front to buy a ton of shirts
What a lovely shirt - he makes all things new! Indeed he does. Thank you for sharing all the info.
Who did really good with this video you explained everything so clearly and I would say I’m more knowledgeable and confident to start my business. Thank you. You are appreciated over here.
This is how you do a video. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!
Thank you so much for this video. I've watched a bunch of videos and yours was by far the best I've seen. Very informative and easy to follow along.
Love the way you explain it different to all the rest am thinking about starting a tea shirt business and you give me a big urge too thanks
Im ready to start my own business. Im going to follow your advice and use these videos as tutorials. I wish there was courses to learn about shirt printing. But im just going to do it! God will guide me😊
If anyone knows of an online course about shirt printing PLEASE LET ME KNOW.
New Subscriber here, the thought of doing tshirts became a reality for me, I just ordered my heat press 😊 I'm soo excited! This video crossed my path at the right time, thank you for sharing the breakdown and all the supplies, much appreciated!👍🏽
If you don't mind me asking, what kind of heat press is it? I'm looking to get into this business
God has had it on my heart since last year to start a faith based t-shirt business, I finally have the funds to start it up and I've pondered and prayed for ages on it, unsure as to what I should do... Today I was looking through google and tiktok to see costs and the actual how to- and I was questioning myself, doubting myself and questioning God. Then I opened youtube and searched "how to start making t-shirts heat press" and your video came up so i clicked on it and as I was watching, you showed the shirt you were wearing that says, "He makes all things new". God is truly amazing and thank you for your unashamed faith. This video has pushed my heart to start this, for Him and for His glory. God bless your heart ♥
Also, can I ask what app/website you use to make your designs? I think they're really cool!
Thank you so much for this comment and sharing your story! It means so much to me! I firmly believe God set the desire in your heart to start this and you are going to do amazing things! 💕 God is so good! I know it’s scary- but you can do this!
These designs were bought! I linked the sellers in my description 😊 I do make designs as well, but these were just designs I had to use.
Thank you so much! this was very helpful and informative. This video takes out the brainwork on all the gears you need and what the process looks like from top to bottom. So grateful!
Thank you for sharing your wealth of information. I can clearly understand how a small business starts and the expenses that go in. I am very inspired to start my own small business.
Thank you Sallie, I have thought about it as one of the tings to sell and appreciate your informative video and experience. I have one thing, you based your cost on buying t-shirts if you have an tax number but you didn't filter in the cost of getting a tax number. I know that the cost varies from state to state but might be something to add to the cost of creating a small business. I think with the cost of buy graphics and getting a tax number it might go over the 1000k. Some graphics can be costly and I know in my state a tax number is around 300.00. But that is a cost that will pay for itself very quickly. I would also like to mention that if you have a tax number you need to remember to save taxes for each sell so you are not surprised at the end of year owing taxes if you show you made a certain amount of money. Love your video because you made it seem so easy to get started and without having to by the more expensive DTF printer equipment which i know is very costly. This is a great work around on what you need to just get started.
people like us out of the USA, the shipping cost is high, however, well explained. Thank you
Your video was so informative. Everything was straight into the point no fillers. Always wanted to start my own T-shirt business but I am not very tech savvy. you have inspired me. Thank you.
I have been searching and searching on how I could start on this! Thank you so much for such a very informative video! This is the best!
I run a Christian bath/body organic business, I also do shirts, candles, tea, seriously a lot of stuff. I also currently cut the shipping labels and tape them 😂 I’ve been looking into switching from vinyl press into DTF- Looking at printers for it but ordering them does seem much better
Amazing ... I wished I had the patience, confidence and discipline and consistency to go ahead with an independent business, but so many years working for someone else is beginning to take it's tall ... I believe being independent is also a mindset and gived you this greet feeling of freedom ... My greatest challenge is that so many steps makes me feel overwhelmed and I get discauraged ... On the other hand, how to sell your products? If you could maybe share this aspect with us, that would be so much appreciated ... If you have any advice for us people wanting to start something independently, but find the challenges I find, that would be great and inspiring to keep on going and make it happen!!! What would be in your opinion the first step from the check list and the next 2-3 steps to start something new? Thank you so much for your sharing your knowledge, story and experience with us !! 🙏
Hi 👋🏾 Simple Sallie, I would be interested in a series on what you discussed. Thank you for sharing 😊.
From UK: I watched another video earlier it said even Hot Pressing DTF transfers you need a mega well ventilated room as a little cloud of toxic smoke comes off! Is this true? Have you had any breathing, skin problems using DTF transfers?
This was really great to watch thank you! I’ve only seen screen printing and it’s extremely intimidating
Just came across your video and couldn't come at a better time thank you so much everything was very helpful
@raymondscott9997g your very kind
Hi Sallie!!! I agree with some of the previous comments. I have also watched tons of videos, searched for tips , advice and this was detailed and what many of us need. So grateful I came across your video. 🙏🏼💕
Fantastic video! Best I've seen on how to create and sell from start to finish ! I am a Christian and I love these designs. Tfs ! 🎉
I’m watching all the way from HAWAII! I love love love how sincere you are and genuine in sharing all of your knowledge. You taught so much and I truly appreciate you very much. My first shirts etc I print I will make sure to TAG you. Thank you for breaking everything down to the nitty gritty. 🙌🏽❤️
I am interested in doing this business. Thank you for breaking it down all the things needed even the cost.
The heat press setting you put it on is it 100 % cotton the gilden shirts
You are awesome! I love your video! You just saved me to buy a machine instead I can buy the transfers ! Thank you 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
