5. Become a Merchandise Seller
There is a huge demand for printed t-shirts and you can make money from this without having to process any payments and ship any inventory. All that you need to do is to use a website such as Printify or Red Bubble and you only have to upload a design and they will deal with everything else.
Every time that one of your t-shirt designs is sold you will receive a percentage of the sale. You have the choice of several different types of merchandise product that your design can appear on. Examples of these products include handbags, mouse pads, coffee mugs and of course, t-shirts
You Focus on the Design
This is a really good side hustle as you just need to focus on your designs and you will not have to spend time on anything else. We recommend that you perform solid research to see what kind of designs are selling well so that you can maximize your chances of success.
Spend quality time on this research and look at websites such as Etsy and Amazon for inspiration. Make a note of the slogans, phrases, colors and other factors that are involved for the most sold designs. This will all help you to come up with winning designs of your own.
You do not have to be a Designer
Don’t worry if you are not a graphic designer or have no Photoshop skills. There is a free website called Canva where anyone can create awesome designs using their range of templates. You do not require any design experience to create a great looking design using Canva.
Alternatively, you can find a talented designer on Fiverr that will create the designs for you based on your ideas for a few dollars. There are some very talented people on Fiverr that will be happy to create your designs and get them to you quickly.
Be sure to check out the reviews that the sellers have from other customers before you choose a designer. When you are uploading your designs to Printify or Red Bubble you need to ensure that the resolution is 300 dpi and the file dimensions are 4,500 by 4,500 pixels. Make sure that your image is a PNG file and not a JPG.
