I love talking shop with them and sharing as many resources as I can to help them with their creative endeavors. One big key to being a successful maker is having multiple streams of revenue. I write about it because I know that it works for many creatives especially those just starting out on youtube or webcomics.

And stuff that helps creatives always excites me so I wanted to share it with my audience, especially those who have read Cash4Cartoonists.

Can they use it too? The answer is YES, you can do it.

Let me break them down from my perspective and experience as a working cartoonist. You can find the calculator on this link. Spreadshirt takes care of all the order fulfillment. Well if you were semi-popular and think you could upload a design that could sell like 10 or more in two weeks, they now add on a new bonus volume commission.

Of course it helps if you plug your merchandise and put things out regularly. Why not something like a shirt of the week for your fans? Make 3k in two weeks off your merch?

Earning Money with Spreadshirt – Spreadshirt

Seems far fetched for us little guys, but I know of Spreadshirt partners who are making some serious bank with their youtube channels and creative endeavors. But you gotta start somewhere! Hell when I was starting out in webcomics my plan was to have multiple streams of revenue to cover different costs. So looking WAY back my goal for a Spreadshirt shop selling shirts would have been a couple hundred bucks a month to cover my webhosting and internet bill.

Sure I would make probably a couple bucks more per shirt, BUT I had to do the shipping the storage and maintain stock of sizes. One time I had a neatly organized shelf of Yirmumah shirts in different sizes to fill my own orders…. Cat hair all over my merch. So to me the thought of print on demand was always brilliant. I print all of my convention shirts here now, and I always get compliments on the color or the apparel.

The higher the threadcount the better your print with digital direct printing. So on something like a American Apparel or Spreadshirt brand the colors pop just a LITTLE more. That said I print my shirts on GILDAN to keep my costs down a little. But for now this post is to just get this on your radar as a possibility for making more money with your creative hustle, whatever it might be. Search the marketplace for different topics.

Check out the other cool designers! Or a series of cool sugar skulls. You upload it to your account and put a price commission on the design. You can even tag your marketplace entries making it easier to find or send full products already mocked up into the marketplace as well. But imagine if you were a cartoonist that could scale that and add new fresh designs?
