Teespring (YC W13) uses social media to sell more than 7M shirts a year

It is interesting to me that Teespring seems to force sellers to advertise each specific design. I was looking for, but couldn't find, a way to see all designs created by a specific user. On a cursory search, I found a few designs by the million dollar seller mentioned in the article, and each of those designs involves clip art quality graphics and a number of seemingly randomly chosen fonts. I imagine if I came across a page showing all of his designs, Teespring would look a lot more like Zazzle or CafePress.

here is an interesting writeup from someone who is making money doing this: <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;getbusylivingblog.com&#x2F;how-ive-profited-100k-online-in-just-5-months-this-year&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;getbusylivingblog.com&#x2F;how-ive-profited-100k-online-in...</a>

So, what happens if Facebook decides it doesn&#x27;t want to allow Teespring ads anymore? From what I can tell it is very heavy skewed towards FB ads. This seems very risky to depend on one channel for sales.

Their base price is pretty nice: $7.30 each for 50 shirts with text or art.

Society6 seems to be way ahead in terms of the number of product lines. <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;society6.com" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;society6.com</a>
