@OMG
There really isn't any problem or dilemma or heavy reasoning... it's really, really simple.
How much do you think you should get paid for every t-shirt (your design) that is sold through an online shop.
For example, nom said that threadless pays $7 a shirt, so my guess is that Threadless probably has some kind of 35/65 ratio.
Your position is that you would be in a 50/50 position. If you were the business owner you would give 50% of your profits to the artist/brand/designer, and then the 50% you have would mostly be eaten up by operating costs and you'd have like 10-20 percent in your profit.
I don't think it sounds worth it... to only make 15% of your own company.
- I'd expect about $20.monospaced
- $2 shirt + $2 print + $2 shippingmonospaced
- ^ there are places that sell T's for $50-75, so that's possible. but you'll never get $20 on a $30 shirtGnash
- gotchamonospaced
- I wonder what brands sell $75 a tshirt.yurimon
- I'm just saying that you can't build a business simply by looking at short term numbers. You need problems, dilemma and heavy reasoning.omg
- Yeah I can't find a POD with American Apparel for $6 out the door.canoe
- Mono, start your own store and pay yourself $18canoe
- If you're only concern is making money, you should think about getting into a business that does that like stocks or banking.omg
- here's one for $200
http://www.acnestudi…Gnash - @OMG, let me get you up to speed, it's not at all about making money, but we're talking about it anyway.canoe
- wow, why shouldn't canoe make money at this? odd aggressionsGnash
- Yeah, the store isn't about high fashion. There might be some micro fibers that will jack the price, but, no, this is not for the runway.canoe
- You're comparing yourself to Threadless whose been in business since 2000. Canoe tees has been in business for ... 1 week?omg
- dude, don't have to get defensive or mad, I was just giving a point of view :/monospaced
- @ canoe, i know its not about money, which is why you can't base these decisions simply on money.omg
- If you can sell 500 tees in one month, $10 is a fairly amount to give to a designer.omg
- You are also making 15% from many designers, not just one.omg
- Profit margins quite often get confused with markups. The difference is profit margin is based on actual sales, where markup is based upon price.drake-von-drake
