What you'll take away

Skip the guesswork

I am not going to tell you it is easy money. I will tell you what actually matters when you are starting, so you do not spend a year finding it out the slow way.

  1. What you actually need to get started — and what you can skip
  2. A realistic sense of what it costs to begin
  3. How to get print-ready artwork, whether or not you can design
  4. A repeatable process for producing work that lasts
  5. How to expand beyond shirts into other products
  6. How to price your work so your time is paid for
  7. Where the steady, repeatable money comes from

I do not want you to spend those years. You do not have to.

Just Tell Me How

Custom DTF and UV printing — shirts, hoodies, totes, hats and drinkware

I started in 2017 with a $400 Cricut, a heat press, and thousands of dollars of vinyl stacked in a corner. Then came the weeding — an hour of picking scrap out of a design before it ever touched a shirt. Everything in this booklet is what I do now instead, and almost none of it involves a cutting machine.

Questions

The practical details, up front.

What format do I get?
A DRM-free PDF digital booklet. After purchase you receive an email with a secure download link.
How long does the download link last?
Each download link expires after 48 hours. If it expires, use the recovery form with your purchase email to get a fresh link.
Who is this for?
Anyone who has never printed anything, and anyone who already sells something and wants to add shirts. If you are still deciding whether this business is worth starting, that is the best reason to read it.
Do I need a Cricut or a printer?
No. Someone else prints the transfers; you press them. A clamshell heat press is ideal, but a household iron genuinely works to start.
