Why Crowd Funding at Teespring Works

Crowd funding isn’t new. There are many sites that offer it and most of you are likely already familiar with the concept. Crowd funding is defined as “the practice of funding a project or venture by raising many small amounts of money from a large number of people, typically via the Internet.”

When President Obama passed the Jobs Act it seemed the buzz word of the month became crowd funding. This concept isn’t really new, but for many it is a new industry especially for those outside the USA. The ongoing recession has left small businesses struggling to stay afloat and it seems entrepreneurs are also facing some tough times. Crowd funding provides a way for people to have a chance at being successful by showcasing their projects, products, etc. to the world and allowing the world an opportunity to support these concepts.

There are many crowd funding sites available and each tend to offer their own unique spin on things. Rather than having general investors these crowd funding campaigns look to the general public for their financial support, and in many cases they get it!

That’s where teespring.com comes in. This is a website that uses crowd funding to sell shirts. Yes you read that right. For tons of people this has proven to be a huge money maker and the opportunity is there for each of us to make some money if we want.

The goal is to create a t-shirt design that you think the world is interested in buying. The site provides you with all the tools you will need to do this. Once you’ve designed your shirt you will setup your campaign and determine what your goal or threshold is. Then it’s time for you to get busy marketing your campaign. Social media, especially Facebook are a great way to do this.

You will also set the time period that your campaign will run. If when your campaign ends you have met your goal, teespring.com will print your t-shirts and ship them to the customer, followed by issuing a check to you for the profits. If your campaign does not make its goal then you receive no money and the shirts are not printed. Those who have ordered t-shirts are not charged until your campaign meets its goal so no money is exchanging hands unless the campaign is a success.

There are few other opportunities where you have the potential to make a great deal of cash without ever investing anything other than a few hours of your time. This is a winning concept, so take advantage of it, because it works. So what are you waiting for?
