Start a Clothing Business For Free and earn extra income using your creativity. It’s an odd but fun experience. It all started when I got bored at my 9-to-5 work and decided to do some doodling. I find it comforting and have been doing it regularly. I also talked with my friend about my new hobby. Then my friend who worked as a graphic designer told me about selling artwork in a marketplace called Teepublic. It’s a place where you can sell your artwork without the inventory.

How TeePublic Works

Upload Designs

Artists create an account and upload their artwork. The designs can then be applied to various products, such as t-shirts, hoodies, mugs, phone cases, etc.

Product Listings

Once uploaded, TeePublic automatically applies your designs to its product catalog, generating mockups for each item.

Customer Purchases

Shoppers visit the site, browse designs, and then purchase items. TeePublic handles everything from printing and packaging to shipping.

Earnings

Artists earn a commission on every sale. The amount depends on the product’s demand.

Ranking System in Teepublic.

In TeePublic, Artisan and Apprentice are part of their Artist Ranking System. These describe your progress and success as a designer on their platform. Here’s what they indicate:

• Apprentice: Beginner level; you’re just starting.
• Artisan: Advanced level; you’re doing well with consistent sales.

Think of these as titles or ranks within the TeePublic community!

Start a clothing business for free

That’s it! Another way to earn extra money with ease. All you need is your creativity and your stylus. However, starting as an apprentice is not entirely bad, as you can upgrade your level (like Artisan or higher). It depends on your performance over time, like how many designs you upload, the sales you make, and your overall activity on the platform.

So, everyone starts as an Apprentice, and as you grow your sales and reputation, you’ll move up to higher ranks like Artisan. It’s TeePublic’s way of tracking your success as a designer! 😊
