Discuss the fun task of marketing a t-shirt shop. Where to advertise, link building, word of mouth, press releases, search engine marketing, keyword advertising, magazines, etc.
Depends on what you want to do, you can do it yourself, you can get an online website shop where you have them made and then you pack and ship them.
There are companies out there where they will make shirts for you, keep them in stock, and pack and ship them as you sell them online or whatever.
You can use a company like cafepress, but you don't sound like that is what you are looking for.
Go with fulfullment company or do it all yourself, either way you need to get a web store and a shopping cart. Before you go out on the $$$$ limb, do a lot of research talk to a lot of people on here.
Actually. myspace just released an "apps" section. Now all you have to do is go there and find the app you want. For example. MySpace.com - www.myspace.com/shopitstore
If you go there that is a myspace approved application that if you click "install" will automatically install on your myspace and allow you to sell any goods you want on your myspace page. :-)
Making an ebay store can work, but like DreamGlass said, you will lose money... Use ebay for marketing only not selling. Consider your ebay a way to advertise because it will be an expense because of the money you loose. In the auction, put somthing along the lines of "This shirt and tons more at BlahBlah" use it to pitch your website and only sell a few shirts a month on it and it could be a good tool, without loosing a lot of money. bigcartel.com is a good resource if you know nothing about PHP or how to design website. But I would avoid it if at all possable because it limites what you can do with your site (example: if you want a forum, newsletter, more then 100 products).
All this stuff depends on what you goal is and what you want, or can do on your own.

From personal expierences I wouldnt recommend an eBay store. I also have my own cosmetic line and I did not have a very good expierence selling my line on there. You will definetly give A LOT of your money in fees etc. Although I've never used BigCartel they seem like one of the better online shopping carts. If you do decide to get a bigcartel shopping cart I would also have a small website that will direct people to your bigcartel products, perhaps a blog or a way to keep in touch with your customers and show your new products or upcoming products. Just make sure that you do PLENTY of search engine optimization. That is where you will get people to your website and then to your bigcartel store.
But to go the other way, having your own website with an integrated shopping cart is also a good idea. People will go to your website and stay there. They wont be redirected to another website where you can possibly lose customers. When someone goes to your bigcartel store and they see "yourstorename.bigcartel.com" they might get curious and search out bigcartel and what it is. I know that is what I did the first time I found a store that was part of bigcartel lol.
Where can I sell my shirts online
