Let me post this method in Q&A format
-

Do I need to be a designer to make money on those websites?
A. It’s like asking “Do I need to be a Model?” to make money on OnlyFans or Adult websites. If you are a designer, You can make money without incurring any expenses. Others have to hire a designer… Better to learn photoshop for making small edits on Original design. -
Where to start?
A. Find a funny quotes, do some research on Teespring, Amazon and search youtube like this “https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=how+to+research+t-shirt+design+ideas+”. Hire a designer and get your design. Start uploading and repeat. -
How to scale this shit?
A. Let’s say you are getting sales for this design: “Of course I am Awesome, I am a Teacher”. Get the PSD from the designer and edit yourself to save money or ask him for a bulk price. scale it with different professions, names etc. Sky is the limit. -
Best advice you can give us?
A. Don’t really abuse the platform. Don’t upload cheap quality designs. They will suspend your account and all your hard-work would go in vain. -
How to get the traffic?
A. Frankly speaking, We have done nothing in the beginning. But we use to stuff good keywords/tags while uploading the design. Later stage, we have tried Pinterest, Wanelo to pin the URLS. That boosted our sales for sure. I am noob in SEO… Use your own SEO skills to get the traffic.
9-10. Can we automate this?
A. There are tools but I never used. You can build imacros to automate uploading. But I don’t suggest… Just get a VA if you are busy.
