I Built My Brand From The Ground Up Already

[@Mark-um5hc]

Well, your headed in the right direction. 3 things: 1) Don't do drugs 2) Don't drink 3) Don't smoke Take your money you saved and invest in the necessities a human has to have. 1) communication 2) transportation 3) food 4) clothing 5) housing Make sence ?

[@NATIVEJAYYQuest4sucess]

Thanks

Don't make a villain out of smoking and drinking. Everything in moderation, including moderation.

[@Mark-um5hc]

@@infiniteepoch8, you catch on quick. I like that.

[@Mark-um5hc]

@@universouls, not trying to make a villian out of anything. The whole smoking and drinking thing is what you as an individual, make from it. I only laid it out, as solid advice. It's what you do with it that counts. It's your money. Do whatever you want. I think it's a great way to look @ things. Agree ?

[@erickcolifetv8586]

It's really hard to launch your own brand of clothing these days. I'm into Tshirt Printing business but because of the competition you really have to leverage. Hoping to have more followers like you.

[@e-bikedjm5709]

Hi John Only just found your your KZbin channel, I have only just started to get the ball rolling in the clothing brand!!!!! Could I run a print on demand from the uk?? Cheers 👍🏻

[@petelamb1675]

Very informational about how simple and cost effective starting a new brand can be!

[@Sadakaquran]

You know you always courage me to continue my dream in all this problem in my life, in January 2020 first time I show your videos and I learn more thinking about my line clothes from your video and your academy. Really thank you so much. I will work to have a factory like this, because you really excited me to continue my path even though I see it as a bit difficult. You offer many, many others around the world. The least thing I can give you is the big thanks from my heart. I made a promise to myself that when I open my company more closely, you will be the first to invite me to celebrate with me. Thank you your fans from algeria

I am so grateful I was guided to your videos Jon Santos. I have launched a YOUTH product and service business focused on Mental Health Awareness at all levels. We have an enormous and creative streetwear vision for Noble One to support our mission and bring our message forward. It can be overwhelming to figure out where to begin and your content is absolutely appreciated. Thank you for the gift of education and information and guiding others to success. We are the Noble Ones. :-)

[@ralex_nder]

your videos have really inspired me to update my merch and brand. Winter 2021. Thank You John Santos.

[@DangeloTalks]

What if I wanted the fabric to have my brand/Design to be printed all over it? like the way LV or many other lux brands?

[@antonesantos8210]

You just have to pay for it.

[@DangeloTalks]

@@antonesantos8210 I was trying to ask if they would do something like that.

[@antonesantos8210]

Yeah have a pattern designed then take it to the manufacturer to print the material out. I think you have to print out at least a thousand yards. Also I think the tshirt maker will only make the tshirts if you're making minimum thousand yards too. At least in the 90's it was like that.

[@lifutao3446]

Thank you 🙏 Made possible by the team!

[@19jack84]

this is so fresh man. loved it !!! info on point

[@ethaninglis1628]

The issue with this is you are unable to be involved in the printing process, print on demand is much safer but for a brand to have long term success they need to have inventory and good relations with your wholesaler and print shop

With companies like upliiq, how can you use different materials/wholesale items? Or can you only use what upliiq has. Thanks!!

I've been wanting to start my clothing for so long. I have my design, logo, etc..but I DT wanna do it without getting it trademarked first. What's your take on starting without trademark.?

if you feel like the trademark is one you'll keep for the next 3-5 years, DO IT and consult with an attorney. If you're just playing with the idea, then spend your money testing the concept

[@jivelydavid785]

This may be an dumb question but I’m new to this. What is the likelihood of success with 15k-30k to invest in a clothing/fashion business? If a small business owner invests 1k-5k USD into a fashion apparel company with great unique designs, is he likely to succeed over an investor with 15k - 30k to spare making mediocre apparel? Of course, there are many layers to this question (advertising, investment strategy, etc), but how big of a factor does money play in the fashion industry?

[@tiffanyjordan5202]

First I want to say thank you so much for sharing such great information. I’ve been wanting to start my own clothing line from original fashion designs for apparel. What would you suggest would be a good computer program for me to get to help with this, since I can’t draw? Help!

[@JamesBTravel]

Print on Demand companies like Apliiq should really start pushing the environmental message of their business model more. With POD, you only produce what you need, which reduces wastage. And because they fulfil the orders themselves, it also lowers the carbon footprint. A really eco-friendly business model. Nice job guys!

[@AnthonyAlegrete]

great video john

How do I email you? Would like to see a video on how to size images onto shirts.

[@HrvojeLivnjak]

an issue with the POD for your brand is that you have 0% influence on the print quality... and that's a BIG risk

[@murdockbarakus9753]

Writing a business plan is what has stopped me over and over to start or try to start something. I have no idea how to write a business plan, the worst part (at least for me) being where you have to somehow "predict" the future. I can't do that ... I can't lie and say "this or that" is going to happen when nothing in this life is safe or guaranteed. So here I am, almost 60 years old and I never started anything on my own. Now I am unemployed and I need to start something ... and once again ... that inability to write a business plan is on my way. 🤬

[@amanmalalo8653]

Look for someone to write for you

[@felicitygee381]

My knowledge is probably out of date, but I don't think you need to see the future to write a business plan. On a basic level, it is just 'the plan' with actual numbers that means the business is viable. Start with what you have the resources to do/make/advertise *right now* in terms of time/money/contacts/followers and write it down. Start there, add the limitations, eg the cost of things, plus your style/ethos (ie business model) to work out what numbers you need to be viable and you have your first year/qtr set up! Then think about a best case scenario and worst case scenario of where your current resources could take you and where on that scale you need to be to stay viable and add them. If you need to sell 2k to break even when you can only procure 200 it's a no go. If you need more resources find out how you would get them. Sometimes making the plan shows you it isn't viable, my last plan showed me the ethos I wanted to use meant that to cover my costs I needed to be able to sell more units than I had capacity for, so I didn't do it. Hope this helps?

[@EricBrownJr]

John you always put out great content, but the dudes from Feat socks aren't people I'd want to take advice from no matter what their numbers are. Did you ever watch their "Profit" episode? It's basically a blueprint on what NOT to do. They were extremely disrespectful and privileged. I know their values don't align with your values and you would never treat people the way they treated Marcus and his staff. Just my 2 cents

[@johnxsantos]

What I’ve come to realize is that media/ shows can paint you out to be what they decide. I watched the episode and then also learned about the business model Marcus was building on the side. They didn’t want to work to build him another side business, so their attitudes were shown in a negative light. Definitely not a good look on them tho, but Parker is a genuine dude.
