If you have a budget for your project, here are some ways to design your shirt very inexpensively: Limit your imprint colors to 1 or 2. Each additional color in the design will increase the price. Try to stick to a front chest or back only imprint. Adding more locations such as the back or sleeve as well will also increase your cost per piece. The color of the t-shirt will also effect your cost. White t-shirts are fairly inexpensive, color t-shirts are usually around a dollar more per shirt than white. Light color t-shirts can sometimes be cheaper than dark color t-shirts.

T-shirts are another good money maker. You may not be able to make your own t-shirts at home. But you can go to a local t-shirt company in town or go with a t-shirt design company online. Think of some crazy slogans or current events and make your own tee. Slogans, phrases, and current events will always do you good. You can have 500 t-shirts made for under $2.00 each. Sell them at $5.00 and will double your money and then some. I have done this myself and to this day, sell t-shirts I created. It usually takes about a week and a half to sell 500 t-shirts. Sell more than 2 different t-shirts at the same time and you will easily make over $1000.00 a week or more every week on eBay.

E-commerce. Yes, it’s fully possible! It will take some setting up though, but I’ve recently realized how I can just pick up the phone and order a set of hoodies, wait four days until they’re on the doorstep, pay for them a month later online, etc. Also, I can call up the fabric company down the road, or one in wellington, get them to send me samples of denim, call them back and order a set amount of denim to be sent to my garment manufacturer, and then call him and tell him how many of what I want right from my rocking chair at home.

Promote your listings by adding links to blogs, online listings and Acttee social networking websites (such as Facebook) to draw attention to your items on eBay. Let the world know your T-shirt business exists!

How about a T-shirt with the Nike logo, and after it was wash 10 or 12 times instead of “Just Do It!” – That T-shirt might say “I Just Did It” – in fact, there are many good corporate branding uses for this washable secret message T-shirt technology. It would also be great for nonprofit group sponsoring Walk-A-Thons, Bike-A-Thon, Bowl-A-Thon, or other nonprofit charity fundraising events.

It takes a detective’s instincts, an archaeologist’s patience and experience to find savings. “Arleen is a digger”, says Nancy Ploeger who was vice president of operations and human resources at Manhattan-based New York Sports Clubs when the company hired Ms. Kahn. “What she doesn’t know she finds out.” The fitness company saved $50,000.
