And this is why I want to press the shirts myself because my art is high quality and I need the finished product exactly how I want it to look 🔥 I’m all about quality

[@Maga-Muffin.59]

I admire you for being such a straight up guy! These days it is an anomaly to find someone that is honest. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with us!

[@BigBrandoh]

thanks for watching and for your continued support

[@coltonconner3120]

AGREED. I WAS SERCHING FOR THE RIGHT KINDA VIDEO, MORE LIKE AN HONEST GENUINE PERSON THAT MADE SOMTHING FROM NOTHING. SAW THIS GUY.

[@___Mac____]

Everyone else all smiles and happy green pastures... He keeps it 100. That's the Hawaiian spirit in him. I bet you thought B was a essay haha

[@simplyglitterdesigns2715]

I have listened to 100 of talk about t-shirts and how to start a t-shirt business. But over the years I have never found anyone I like listening to like Big Brandoh. Truthful, real and no BS!! Much love and thanks Big Brandoh, you inspire and motivate me. THANK YOU!

[@345Weeehrs]

This is absolutely the very best and easiest understand video about the T shirt business I've seen and I've seen a lot of them.

[@ZachSchaaf]

Excellent take on the POD process as a brand starter. Very smart content. Thank you for posting!

[@tim5916]

Thank for all of the intel I am brand new to this industry and your info is teaching me a lot again thank you.

[@veemajeno7511]

Big Brandoh much love for always droppin knowledge for us

[@harketypical]

Dude! You're absolutely right about POD shops. I tried a couple but found they're so expensive that they're not worth the trouble - and I would have been embarrassed to sell the shirts they printed! Awesome video from start to finish

[@charleskilen56]

Thank you for doing this video. I’ve been aiming to start my clothing business in the next few months and I’ve been seeing a lot of videos of these KZbinrs selling a get rich quick scheme using POD. Personally I wouldn’t feel comfortable doing that because there’s no way to really do an adequate amount of quality control. So this video really helped me feel confident about going the route of doing everything in house. Much love yo

[@cheenodawg]

Thank you big brandoh this is masterclass level 🙏🏽

[@tengoodquestions]

Subbed because you have integrity and great info. I started my T-Shirt brand but decided to switch instantly from Etsy as it doesn’t seem conducive for branding which is fine, they have their own USP to join.

Lots of nuggets here man thanks. What’s your thought on just using vinyl for starter would love your input.

[@lisapoltzer9081]

Love your content ~ it’s been so helpful! Can Supacolor do custom gang sheets with Puff vinyl? New to all of this and learning the process. 🙏🏻

[@BigBrandoh]

no they dont offer puff. i think transfer express offers puff transfers. check the links in my description box

Solid information Pal. What would recommend for advertising my t-shirt designs without actually making the t-shirt ?

[@SB-nb9oo]

Love your videos! How do you go about making your designs, do you use a certain software?

[@BigBrandoh]

check out the playlist "back to basics" on my channel. lays out everything i use and how i use'em. i do a atep by step how i use photoshop for creating designs

[@skateshop251]

Damn !!!🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@rsgfase3084]

🔥🔥🔥 will you do a video of ypu cooking up a logo design? I want to see the proccess of how you come up and create t shirt designs

[@BigBrandoh]

i got those vids on my channel. i show the process. of hand drawing to digital drawing ready for print. check'em out.

[@rsgfase3084]

@@BigBrandoh will do! Thanks for putting great, informative, educational content out for us. we appreciate the time in effort you put into your videos Brandoh

[@fernandoorozco3469]

Print on demand I’m working on some big and tall and shipped out my cost is about $22 for a 4xlt so to make sense I would need to set the price about $35

[@teesprintandapparel]

AS Colour is 🔥 tho

[@theGREYCOAST]

What would you suggest for managing blank inventory on Shopify across multiple products? Do you use a bundle app? Thanks in advance. Love your videos!

[@BigBrandoh]

no special app. example, if i have 12 black Mediums. and i have 4 designs posted, i mark each design with 3 Mediums. as the designs sell, i adjust the quantity as neeeded.

[@theGREYCOAST]

​@@BigBrandoh That makes a lot of sense and it keep things simple. Cant say thank you enough! 💯

[@ronnelbutler454]

That’s just why I said I’m Just do it my self just cuz of that reason.

[@213maestrobeats9]

Good video bro!! But just questions is gildan 5000 is a good brand of blank shirt? I thought you use that before?

[@BigBrandoh]

gildan is cool. i dont use them cuz my target audience doesnt like'em. doesnt mean its a bad blank but i highly recommend using a blank that your target audience likes.

[@shelandosjackson6949]

Hello Big Brandon. First of all. I love your name and your intro. That’s pretty cool, but anyway I wanted to ask you a question. Did you start your business with Shopify? I have been struggling with my t-shirt business for 4 years. I finally decided to revamp and just sell to a certain audience, but I’m not sure if I should go with Shopify or Woo Commerce. Help Please

[@CLifemusic]

Me and my bro and cous. Thinking started a tshirt biz. They were telling me about pod Because we don't have a way to do anything yet. But this is good information So the the screen print transfers were made by a screen printer? And when you heat press it,it will look screen printed??? What do you think about the luminaries printers and heat press? They were advertising it before your video lol

[@Truthseeker424]

Man… all the info relating to starting a t-shirt business is pretty over whelming for an old guy… lol… can u help me out big brandoh…?

[@toniakennedy6726]

Again, thank you. Question: do you use the same screen print sizes for all tshirts: S, M, L,XL, 2XL, 3XL. If not, how do you determine the screen print size for the tshirt size. I hope that makes sense...lol.

[@BigBrandoh]

yes i use the same design size for all size offerings in all of my designs. i dont size up the design just cuz the shirt is bigger. i have lots of videos on this topic and also videos showing how i find the right design size. hit the youtube search bar with "big brandoh design size" all the vids will pop up

[@paulhaynes7522]

Sounds like you’re in full control. The only problem I can see is if you’re doing it all yourself then how can you scale? There are only so many orders you can fulfil in a day due to time restraints.

[@ismaelhall3990]

Cool but at times the background music makes it hard to hear.

[@spencerhastings5523]

"This is how I run my online t shirt business" That should've been the title.

[@sabrinasabir7086]

I just embroidery machine to do embroidery for T-shirt but do u need heat press still

[@teesprintandapparel]

Do you have a video of the difference between DTF and Screen print Transfers? and examples? I see people use both interchangeably and it all looks and feels the same.

[@BigBrandoh]

the best way to find this out is not by video or pictures. you gotta compare the two for yourself so you can feel the difference and see the difference. order samples from every company and test'em all out before you place your order

[@Sproutlings]

I just bought a Cricut Explore Air 2, 9x9 Cricut heat press, and a mini heat press from a lady on Facebook. What are you thoughts on that machine and using the Cricut program for designs, etc?

[@BigBrandoh]

i dont know anything about those machines but luckily you have youtube at your finger tips. now that you own the equipment, start searching up how to use it all. youtube will help you trouble shoot any issues your come across and help you get started. put that equipment to use and get to the money homieeeee 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾

[@Joycely101]

I am trying to figure if I can test my idea and sell before getting all the legal documents. Can I sell without a DBA if I am using a different name to test my idea.

[@TheMors1975]

Hey homie how do you handle returns when someone order a size too big or too small and they want and exchange do you wait to receive the old one and send the new one or how ya do it.

[@BigBrandoh]

i dont offer any returns or exchanges. i dont wanna deal with all that back and forth. all sales final on my sites.

[@TheMors1975]

@@BigBrandoh thanks for taking your valuable time to answer my humble question brother much appreciated and. Continued success in your business, blessings to you and your family from Central America.

[@ELMIKE3]

Hey brandoh whats up!!!.. im still having trouble setting the designs on the shirts like left chest print back and front designs ...any suggestions ???

[@BigBrandoh]

i got videos showing my process. check'em out. thats all i can offer without actually doing it for you. if you follow what i do, it should work out.

[@thacoastguard]

Whattup bro, i have a question.. When do you use Shaka and when do you use ascolor on your orders? I ask my customers “do you want a premium tee or something regular like triple A”. But on yer website where they’re on their own how are you doin it?

[@BigBrandoh]

i never give the customer a choice. i print on AS colour for some of my brands and i print on Shaka for the other brands i run. blank shirts are based on the target audience. every brand i run as a different target audience

[@thacoastguard]

@@BigBrandoh ahhhh gotcha. Makes total sense thanks brotha

How do you feel about Ninja transfers

[@BigBrandoh]

sorry but i know nothing about ninja transfers. i dont use them for my business. all of the transfer companies i do use for my business are linked in the description box for you.

Yo bro! Are you a Filipino by any chance? Jw 🤙🏻

[@Thunderclone04]

Are you registered as a LLC or Sole Proprietor?

[@heypretty123]

Hey Brandoh and anyone in the chat. How would you recommend going about and narrowing down your target audience??

[@BigBrandoh]

check out the playlist "back to basics" and watch the marketing video. i show how i narrow down my audience in that video.

[@heypretty123]

@BigBrandoh thank you, I will check it out 😊

[@mirandapaschall]

If I'm just starting out, how can I advertise to get sales if I don't have a big following?

[@BigBrandoh]

you dont need a big following to sell shirts. check out my videos "how to sell t shirts on instagram" or "how to sell t shirts on tiktok" that will explain an easy way to market your products with out a following and its free

[@DLDesignsCT]

Hey Brandoh, do you know of any business owners that do custom prints in small quantities?

[@BigBrandoh]

i dont know any screen printed transfers that do low quantities under 10. supacolor's minimum is 10 sheets. but content creators like the t shirt buddy and rhybeats. they sell transfers and i think they dont have any minimums. you would have to ask them. hope that helps

[@DLDesignsCT]

@@BigBrandoh Ok thanks insight, are they on IG or KZbin?

[@BigBrandoh]

yes they're on both. tell'em i sent you to buy transfers. i dont know if they'll give you a discount but its worth a shot hahaha

[@DLDesignsCT]

@@BigBrandoh Lol ok cool, I hear you! Thanks again

[@lisapoltzer9081]

How much do you sell your tshirts for?

[@BigBrandoh]

anywhere from $18-$26 depends on the blank i use, transfers i use, placement of designs etc...
