Should I invest in my own website or use a third party website to host my T-Shirt designs?

If you are thinking about doing every aspect of the T-Shirt business yourself (including producing the T-Shirts), then I suggest you invest in a website (recommend Inmotion Hosting Plan), but first try out a third party website that makes the T-Shirts for you (no risk involved or investment needed) to see if you can make your business a success. Once you’re confident in your business, then you can upgrade to making and owning your own website.

There’s a few types of third-party website which provide you with different business and approach. However, it still the best way and a good kick start for newbie who just want to jump into this industry. Some of them provide services from printing to shipping. What you need to do just submit your design and that’s all. You don’t have to worry about hosting, domain, server, downtime, all site thingy. It’s already included. Some of third party only provide you with online store and site thingy. But you have to work on printing, and deal with shipping and posting. All the payment will go through the third party, so you don’t have to worry about fraud, cheating and so on.

From our research, we highly recommend you with SPREADSHIRT. Easiest, and Hottest third party business website provider.

There are many online third party websites available on the Internet that you can choose from that will create and ship the T-Shirts to your customers (risk free with no money invested) and therefore, save you the hassle of actually having to deal with the customer aspect of your T-Shirt business.

There are as many cons as there are pros when using a third party service. Some of the cons are: You don’t get your own website and you are in some way connected to them, you don’t make as much profit (you have to pay them to do all the work, like printing the T-Shirts and shipping), and they make all the rules (Example: not providing you with the E-mail address of your customers or refusing any designs that you create).

When you sign up with one of these third party services, you are actually working for them and that includes promoting their site. The customers that purchase your T-Shirts are actually their customers meaning they have full control and every time you make a sale, they make a profit. In other words, these third parties depend on your success and if your business goes under, theirs doesn’t because there’ll always be someone else to take your place.
