#12That's awesome. Few questions:
40k revenue or profit? If it was rev then what was your profit (and vice versa)? And are you worried that the sort of initial wave of traffic will die down and you'll be left only selling a couple dozen shirts a week? I mean this sort of thing (to me) seems like it is an awesome effort at capitalizing on something that went viral, but how do you plan on sustaining (or even growing) these numbers?

#13Congrats, I love the idea of asking the market for feedback on demand early on.
Are there one or two shirts that generate the majority of the revenue, or is it all pretty evenly spread?

#14What are you shirt printing costs? I know the amount of colors and things used factor in as well as the amount of shirts ordered.
also how many shirts to you print for your first run?

Also, I'm interested in the different prices of the shirts. Are they adjusted for demand or just based purely on printing costs?

#16Does anyone know how the T-shirts are being printed?
Read the article.

#17How did you make $40k? Post says TINhouse was useless and reddit has the lowest conversion rate (but still accounted for 25% of the sales). Could your talk about the "engaging people on various forums/communities" part and where the majority of that 40k came from?
Just looked at TINhouse's twitter and, well, I have no words. I would pay to not be featured with these people...

As another mentioned, a ton of people want to do the shirt business. It's not about follow-through on this one though, because shirt business isn't as profitable as you might think. I would guess he/she is lucky if 1/3 is profit, and that's with massive quantity. It's a lot of work for 'little' return. Getting them printed, shipping, returns, etc...

#20Maybe I've met 100 people in my life who've wanted to make t-shirts for a living. It's not always about the ideas, but the execution. Congrats.
