Guides

Practical guides for selling shirts: how to start a t-shirt or print-on-demand business, how to set up and sell on Etsy and Shopify, how to price a shirt so it still makes money after shipping and fees, and how to get a design ready to print.

We write these from the print side of the business. We run the shop that prints and ships the orders, so the guides use real costs and real turnaround times, not guesses. When a guide quotes our prices, they come from our live price list, and when it mentions another service, it says when we checked.

Start with the guide that matches where you are: an idea, a first listing, or a shop that is ready to grow.
