[@kimfella4770]

I appreciate the information he shared, but for me it wasn't terribly helpful. What is the first thing you need to sell? A product. Where do you source your products? How does a beginner find the best places to purchase? Do you buy from China? Did you create your own clothing packs? That's the information I was hoping for. Screen printing vs heat press, which is better, more cost effective to start with, etc.

[@UpFlip]

Thanks for watching Kim. These are all great questions. Everyones journey is different depending on life experiences, location, passion, etc. A great place to start is creating a business plan, finding a local clothing designer to see if you can shadow them and doing research on different places to purchase in your area. 😀 We wish you the best of luck on your journey. Should we have another clothing line video on the channel?

[@TheABILITYEquation]

Portland, Oregon born and raised. I am struggling to learn the whole POD process. I do not have any funding right now.
