I use to work at starbucks at the airport inside of a hotel at the airport.. so there’s always business meetings, people running late for the shuttle bus.. I had a tip jar yes they would tip.. but I would keep my money in the jar🤔 then I notice a few wouldn’t tip.. (GAME CHANGER) so I came up with this leave $2 in the jar once it get full take the money out and put $2 back in.. I would come home some nights with $200 or $300 a day!! for 6 hrs they leave $20keep the change rushing to get the shuttle or they felt bad I only had $2 in my jar..Moral of the story is just like you said customers don’t know what you have just be ready to be on GO when them orders come in Thanks for your information 🤗

I recently hit that subscribe button, and I can't get enough of your content. It's like you have this knack for delivering exactly what I need to know. Your work reminds me of the quote, "Humility is one of the nets spread by real greatness," attributed to Imam Ali. Your ability to share knowledge with such humility truly reflects the greatness of your content.

[@tonyanorris6574]

Thank you for this information. I have been only making shirts for my family and now feel confident enough adventure out to more people. My husband has been continuously suggesting that I buy in bulk. Personally I do not have room for bulk orders of different sizes or colors, so I have refused to buy up at this time. Been trying to figure out which way to go with all of this so I dont waste money or get a bunch of something that doesnt sale. Now I know how to go about it all. Thank you.

This is exactly what I offered starting my brand, white garment with black ink and black garment with white ink. Keep it simple with a good design and if it gets a great response then expand options. Great advice Brandoh

[@NekoPrints]

Oh man this was one of my BIGGEST issues when starting out. Now I barely keep anything on hand. I found a local supplier that I purchase shirts from when I need. It's too much to have everything. Too much space, money, and stress. It's not needed. People are usually cool with waiting a few days to get their shirts. But its all dependent on your business and your customers. But to keep on hand, for easy orders like for my etsy, I kept black shirts and white shirts. That's it. When people needed a bunch of shirts, I ordered them and would tell them to give me a few extra days. They were always cool with it. I always say that what works for me wont always work for anyone else and what works for them could not work at all for me. It's all personal preference and finding out what works for you. Love how you explained this man. Big props as always.

[@BigBrandoh]

thats exactly right!! we all have that same mentality starting out. but as you work and grow you start to figure out what is needed and what is wasted. and your right. most customers dont care about waiting a few days. it works out best when you are up front and open with them from the jump. keep winning brotha!!! 💪🏾

[@NekoPrints]

@@BigBrandoh Appreciate you dawg!

[@gaming4K]

You would start with black but i will probably have to start with sublimation on white. When i get some more money i could do black with vinyl and puff i might have to do something on my site like if you get 1-3 shirt order than delivery is 2-3 days more order is 6-8 days so i can have 3 shirts per size on me in the first few weeks or months. Last time i ordered the shirt got here in 2 days and where i ordered from they had like 2000 shirts on stock so they would not run out quickly. I got this idea from watching this video so thanks i might even use it :D My main focus is not the white shirts tho but another product that just arrived this week, so from selling that i can start the black shirts too.

[@Unlockingparadoxes]

Never give up.

[@sneakerhead4770]

Def choose the basic plan. I think it’s 29 if I’m not mistaken. If ur business takes off and gets bigger then u can upgrade ur account to allow more employees to access etc but starting off the basic is more than enough

Sup bro any advise on running a blank t shirt business along with shirt pressing

[@RomanFamilyEmpire]

Hey Brandoh how are you man I’m Julio from Santa Rosa California just wanna say man thank you for the videos and explaining everything you need to know if you don’t mind me asking you what do you see from your KZbin in 5 years and are you trying to expand??

[@BigBrandoh]

expand my youtube channel? or print business? print business is always growing and evolving. youtube channel is constantly growing but my main mission is and will always be to provide the info to anybody looking to get started.

[@dreezyfranklin]

We don't have a shirt warehouse where I'm at. The nearest is LA about 45 minutes away. I may just stock up heavy for my brand , and have become a blank resell in the process. Gonna cost some $$

[@JulianNapoles]

Can you do an updated video on the licensing and permits you need for an online t shirt business? Thanks!

[@BigBrandoh]

all the info in the video is the same valid info today. but, you dont need any licenses or permits to run an online store. you can open one today with your social security number and start selling now if you wanted too. check out the playlists on my channel. they will help you get started

[@JulianNapoles]

@@BigBrandoh thank you!

[@LifeofKalani]

Well appreciated for the great tips, I do have a question I was listening about the way you charge the triple of the cost, my question is where do you charge for your labor the time you spend in it that you put?

[@BigBrandoh]

check out my vids about pricing. pricing for retail is different from pricing a custom shirt or pricing for contract printing. i have vids on my channel breaking down all the different services i offer and how and why i price the way i do

Do you stock up hoodies and crewnecks to

[@Leadership_matters]

Idk if you comment on older videos but i have a question. How many transfers do you order? Do you gang up a back hit and a left chest hit for say 50 vomplete shirts but just print a couple of each size? Or just do it in vinyl to start out? Thanks for the info. It makes the task less daunting.

Thanks for all the info 👍🏽..got a quick question for you-what brand hoodie is that you have on that video. Which would you recommend. I know everyone have their own preferences

this hoodie is old but it might be gildan or alstyle. cant remember.

[@MannyzCustomz]

That's what I do with my embroidery so I don't wear myself out I'll put on my shops a very low quality and it tends to get me more sales instead of having so much bulk

[@BigBrandoh]

that is one of the best tactics and strategies. the main point is "so you dont get burnt out" cuz it is easy to get over whelmed really quick. wish you and your business nothin but continued success 💪🏾

Based on the space I have available I get 2 qty of each size of black 1qty of each size in white and I order as the customers order.

thats right! good way to operate. when space is limited, you gotta get crafty and make it work for you. keep winning 💪🏾💯

How do I find a certain brand of T-shirts like pro club and other brands?

[@js6086]

I really needed to hear this man! The one thing I’m worried about is having a very small range of products. And I personally think it wouldn’t look desirable. Is there any way around this or am I overthinking it all?

[@BigBrandoh]

over thinking. watch the Bsing with Brandoh episode "how i made thousands off one t shirt design" or something like that. you dont need a bunch of options to look desirable. all you need is designs you can sell. thats all that matters.

@@BigBrandoh I really appreciate this man! Love your content and thankyou for replying! Definitely changed my perspective and motivation 🔥👌

What’s the best way to launch a new design without having extra transfers bc the design isn’t selling or…not having enough and you’re ordering more and getting hit with shipping and slower turn time?
