I currently run an animal theme page instagram with about 350k followers. The issue is I make roughly £0 from it. So I’m thinking of starting an eco friendly clothing business selling “save the planet” type t shirts. And paying for advertising as well as promoting it on my instagram.
The challenges I’m having is
- how to sell internationally
- what sort of website to pay for in order to make this happen
- where I can get t shirts custom designed (I live in uk)
- do I keep inventory of the t shirts or stick to dropshipping
- anything else I need to do? I.e. legal documents I need to sign
Would love to hear a roadmap on how I can go about this and some advice in general!
If you’re wanting to test it as a concept, Everpress might a good option. It has a kickstarter-ish model to it, they only print and fulfill the orders if you hit the minimum sales quantity (I believe it’s 10). Very useful for aspiring artists but I think it might also align for you. No website, inventory, or extra work. Just design, share the mockup and product link with your followers and see if anything happens. Hope that helps!
