HOW TO START A T-SHIRT BIZ UNDER $400 WITH A CRICUT! 😱

[@bnic721]

I know how to make htv and sublimated shirts as well as cups,hats,etc.. I just don't know how to market or sell my items or get started on the business side . Hellllp!

[@lyndsaycebreros7864]

Thank you so much for pointing out the "copies" function on the make it page! For some reason I couldn't figure it out so I was copying and pasting so many times and wasting so much time. The best tips!

[@MakersGonnaLearn]

You're so welcome!

I have a Tussy heat press and Vahigcy portable heat press both works well and available on Amazon

[@bernicedejesus2179]

I really enjoyed your video! Im trying to start a t-shirt business and boy am I glad I found your video. Many people told me I needed to buy a big heat press that cost thousands of dollars. I have the heat press you have, but it’s the smaller one. May need to invest in the bigger one buy circuit! Thanks for all of your information. I may need to take your class! Thanks again.

[@MakersGonnaLearn]

Yay, so glad you enjoyed it. Best of luck!

[@teresabrixey6019]

Just a suggestion. Buy yourself a infa red temperature heat gun to test the temperature of your heat press/ easy press. My heat press is about 5 degrees colder than the display reads. I have seen different videos where the easy press was up to 70 degrees off. Correct temperature is key to good outcomes.. Just a suggestion. I am not coming at anyone or any company.

[@MakersGonnaLearn]

Thanks for the suggestion!🙂

Project copies. Mind blown!! How did I not know that? Thank you so much!!

[@MakersGonnaLearn]

You're so welcome!

I have the Cricut maker and easy press as well as the mug press. I’ve never used the mug press but have the rest. I really don’t care for how stiff the t-shirts are from the vinyl. I’ve also tried the invisible ink and it never comes out right. Colors are always so light. I’ve purchased shirts others make with their makers and theirs aren’t like mine. It’s almost like glueing plastic to ur shirt, it’s how mine turn out anyways. Idk what I’m doing wrong!!

[@peppermint9324]

Which is better to use in t-shirts... iron on or heat transfer vynil?

[@hsepulveda1]

Thanks Tanner, that was a lot of fun!

[@MakersGonnaLearn]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@ChaoticNalilitoMC]

My biggest issue/fear as an introvert is trying to make the first sell. Like all the videos and tips I see talk about once you make your first sell than you can build from that yadda yards. But I genuinely don't know how to make the first sell. I've thought about maybe using Mercari to "test" which designs would sell but that's about it

[@AnnBriOnYouTube]

What I did was just put it up on Instagram/FB like "Made up something" to go with this or that (in my case, a t-shirt to go with sneakers) Got my first sale that way. One thing I had to get outta my head is saying 'who would buy this' or being worried about people who have way better machines/equipment. Just put it out there! Good luck!

[@chastitycox6633]

I had the same fear. A local non profit was having a 2 day bazaar. I made the plunge because it was on a $10 per day fee. I am excited to say my first day I had orders and special requests and I was overjoyed. I have now completed a 3 day of sales with a much bigger event opportunity. it really is about just taking the plunge try local small events. I will be doing an event at our local VFW the end of the month. I surely hope that since you posted this comment you have taken the plunge and had an amazing and prosperous time.

I recently bought the cricut explore air 2 and I love it! Was a little nervous it not being top teir since all the other machines came out but it's amazing and I love it.

[@juliebaird4156]

I also have the Explore Air 2. I didn't have the funds for the Maker but I am not disappointed. It is a great machine.

[@Monica-xq4ev]

@@juliebaird4156 definitely:)

[@crosscutofficial]

I have a 5 in 1 that was less than getting the Cricut easy press and mug press. My problem is, there is no heat guide with it.

[@michelleallen9661]

I found out the Gildan shirts are actually cheaper when they're not on sale and you use their 20% coupon as a club member

[@BU4UCustomCreations]

Thanks

[@MakersGonnaLearn]

You're welcome!

[@ashleylister5917]

Some videos i watch say to wash the shirt first and some say not to. What do you recommend?

[@MakersGonnaLearn]

You can wash it first. 🙂

[@crosscutofficial]

I’m looking forward to this! I currently have the Cricut Explore Air 2 and I have a heat press system arriving this weekend. I hope to learn a few tricks to add to new crafting business. I’m now the sole caretaker of my disabled mother and my autistic son, which has limited us financially. I wish I could do your membership but right now, all of our funds have been tapped out trying to get a business going.

[@alexanderrojas1157]

That’s really sweet of you:) Good luck🤞

[@bnic721]

I am doing the same, I'm intermediate to expert level at creating all the things but have no clue how to make it a business.

Hello friend! So glad you loved it!🙂❤

[@sugarbabydoll28]

Is it best to wash the shirt prior to applying the HTV or not? Thank you!

[@galice6333]

This is a fantastic video , great teaching technique and info I can understand as a newbie . Thank you so much Tanner!

I gave 109 for my air 2 during black friday.

Hey tanner I have just gotten my first request for a tote bag quote. Have a couple of questions. 1) good source for tote bag? 2) how do you take the logo from your email and make it an svg file?

[@FuzzyDoxie]

I just put furniture sliders (like you use to move heavy furniture) they come in all sizes. I got the oval and put one on each side. It works perfect with little effort

[@MakersGonnaLearn]

Good to know!

[@ceecee8757]

Cool beans!! Can't wait to watch this!!

[@MakersGonnaLearn]

Hope you enjoy it!

[@robertmusinguzi9030]

[@MakersGonnaLearn]

[@hildacasique5408]

I need help! I hope you can answer my question. I want to start my own little home business I recently purchased the cricut joy maker and bought a $50 beginners kit. Also bought the utensils that you use to take off the vinyl. My next purchase is to buy more materials and my cricut heat press. So from there what do I need to do? Do I start making different things to make and to sell? Someone help me please.

[@MakersGonnaLearn]

Determine what kinds of Cricut crafts you wish to sell and invest in materials/supplies you need. Best of luck in your business.

Thanks for the video! I’ve been having this machine for over 2 years as well as a heat press been scared to use it😩tried it once and gave up. I’m going to give it a try again🙌🏾

[@ronniea.4830]

Same boat 😭

[@deniseperez9200]

U can do this girl....

You got this!!. I was the same way.

Don't give up. Watch more videos. It will get easier :-)

Where can I find the sell in 30 days course you mentioned? All I see is the membership info.

[@whitneydavis7634]

Another great video

[@MakersGonnaLearn]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@GadgetBeat30]

I have the cricket maker. It doesn't cut through the vinyl. It will make marks and score the vinyl but it will not cut all the way through it. I have to use scissors after the machine is done etching the design. It seems like everyone else's cricuts cut through the vinyl and you can just peel back the layers I can't do that and this is my second machine.

[@koolkidangel18]

It shouldn't cut all the way through that it cuts the carrier. Try the metallic setting it's a bit stronger than the htv or vinyl settings

[@Mrs.LadeyBug]

You can set it to cut heavier or lighter in the settings. Mine definitely cuts, according to the settings I have it on. It’s been incredibly precise.

[@desertflowerz1435]

Is it possible you have the blade reversed? Does it cut paper?

[@cherylemcvey2267]

Love this video. Can’t wait to start my business. My issue is making connections to get started

[@MakersGonnaLearn]

So glad you love it!

[@aprilwalker360]

I know how to do the shirts but the market site is so over Whelming

[@maryjames687]

Do you ever use the Cricut joy?

[@MakersGonnaLearn]

Yes! You can watch the tutorials here kzbin.infosearch?query=Cricut%20Joy.

[@scrabblebarr]

I love your instruction, expertise, and enthusiasm. Please stop overusing the word “excited”. We all know you’re excited so just show it instead of talking about it. It’s getting difficult to watch videos with that constant repetition. It’s similar to saying “um” all the time.

[@MollysKid]

I need your help with how to do it

[@bnic721]

Same girl same I can male all the things it's the marketing and business aspect I have no clue where to begin.

[@alexanderrojas1157]

I’m the 3rd commenter Wow That’s a first I’m learning and looking to sell custom shirts on Etsy that would be great if you could do more videos like that to help me:) -ale
