that,means when a fan visits your store and,purchases a t-shirt for example,teespring will collect payment from the,fan print the shirt ship it directly to,the fan and send you your cut of the,profits you don't have to do a thing and,as I mentioned it's incredibly simple to,get started you can add your store set,up in just a few short minutes in fact,i'll show you exactly how easy it is,right now to get started just go to,teespring calm then click on the tab at,the top that says start designing then,click the sign-up link and enter the,email address and password that you want,to use for your account click Sign Up,answer a couple of quick questions and,then name your store and there you go,and how you have a teespring store next,you just need to add some products to,your store teespring offers a variety of,print-on-demand products to choose from,t-shirts hoodies tank tops socks,leggings posters blankets cell phone,cases and more so choose the first,product that you want to create upload,the logo or image you want to print on,the product,place it where you want it to go,then preview it to see how it looks,you can add different,colors for your fans to choose from,then set your

hoodie or whatever it is the,fan purchased they ship it directly to,the fan for you and then they send you,your portion of the profits you have no,upfront costs you don't need to store,any inventory and as you've seen here,you can get fully set up in a matter of,minutes this is the simplest easiest way,for any independent artists on any,budget to get started selling merch,online now there are some limitations to,teespring and that you can only sell the,products that they offer what if you,want to sell additional products that,aren't offered through teespring like,CDs blu-rays or vinyl albums for example,well teespring will integrate with a,platform you may be familiar with called,Shopify Shopify is quickly becoming the,standard platform for e-commerce stores,and it's great for building an online,merch store now there is a monthly fee,to use Shopify and that fee can vary,depending on your specific needs however,when you're just getting started you,probably only need the basic Shopify,plan or maybe even Shopify Lite you can,go to Jam mob comm slash Shopify to,start your free trial and get special,discount pricing let's talk about why,you would want to use Shopify in the,first place well Shopify offers a lot of,great features to help you set up a,professional looking online merch store,that'll allow you to easily track and,manage inventory and payments but in,this particular case I'm recommending it,because it integrates seamlessly with,teespring so you can still get all the,benefits of your teespring store but you,can also add a lot of additional,products to your online merch store when,you use Shopify as a musician it makes a,lot of sense for you to sell physical,copies of your music in your merch store,and Shopify will allow you to do that,now to be clear shove a fight isn't like,teespring in the sense that teespring,offers print-on-demand services so when,it comes to selling physical copies of,your music you're still going to need to,get your CDs and vinyl pressed Shopify,won't do that for you unfortunately but,that's ok,you can use a service like disc makers,to handle that for you disc makers makes,it super simple to get physical CDs and,vinyl pressed they'll even help you with,packaging and design if you like and,they offer other products you might be,interested in selling in your online,store like DVDs blu-rays box sets and,USB drives now there are minimum,quantities that you'll have to order so,be aware of that and the more you order,the less you'll pay per unit so ordering,more will help you keep your costs down,but of course that means you have to,store inventory well I have some good,news because there's a little website,that you may have heard of before called,Amazon Amazon has a service called,fulfilled by Amazon or FBA with FBA you,can simply pack up all your inventory,and ship it to an amazon fulfillment,center then whenever a fan purchased is,one of those items amazon will pack it,and ship it directly to your fan for you,and yes Amazon FBA also integrates with,Shopify,so you can sell your CDs DVDs vinyl etc,in your Shopify store and whenever a fan,purchases one of those items Amazon will,pack it and ship it directly to the fan,for you so with all the services I,mentioned in this video you can have a,professional fully functional online,merch store where you can sell virtually,anything and it can be set up and run on,a shoestring budget but you'll also need,to get fans to the merch store in the,first place,so let me quickly recap what we've,covered so far and then I'll give you,the next step if you'd like to learn how,to get new fans into your online merch,store on a daily basis alright now if,you're on a tight budget but you still,want to get started making money selling,your artists merch online teespring is a,fantastic option you can get set up in,minutes there's no upfront cost and,they'll handle everything for you when,one of your fans buy a shirt or other,print on demand item teespring will,process the payment print the item ship,the item and send you your cut of the,profits it's insanely simple then when,you're ready to start selling additional,merch beyond what teespring offers you,can go to Jam mob comm slash Shopify to,get started with your free Shopify trial,and get a special discounted rate on the,monthly fee for your Shopify store shelf,a flyer will integrate with T Springs so,you can sell print-on-demand items and,teespring will continue to process,payments print those items ship them to,your fans and pay you your cut like they,have been but you can also start selling,other items as well like CDs DVDs and,vinyl albums you can use disc makers to,get that stuff made then you can ship,all that physical inventory to
