DIY: How to Design and Sell Your Own T-Shirt Designs Online

Ever seen a t-shirt and thought 'Wow, I could totally design something better than that!' I have too, and I looked into designing my own t-shirts, and selling them. Of course, I was not looking into doing this full time, and going all out and ordering tons of t-shirts to print the images on myself. After all, this was just for more of a hobby, and not for some sort of huge business I wanted to start. I looked around, and found several good website that would not only allow me to sell my designs through them, but would also take care of printing and shipping for me, for a small cut they took of the t-shirt price. Awesome! So, I did some more research, and found one site that stood out about the rest, called GoodStorm.Com. I have since started selling t-shirts through them, and I'd like to show you how you can too!

First, you will need a way to draw and design using your computer, for best results. I use a Waccom Digital drawing tablet, and Adobe Photoshop Elements, a skimmed down version of the popular Photoshop. You can find good drawing tablets for a decent price on eBay, and may try the trial version of Photoshop from the Adobe website.

Next, download the templates available for free from the GoodStorm website for t-shirt designs. These are found under Main-FAQ-Design Specs, and are located at the bottom of the web page. Save these to your computer, and then open them up in Adobe Photoshop, or whatever image editing program you use.
