Online... obviously of course I found me a connect on fiverr that has a printing shop in vegas. I'm just waiting for new artwork to come in and I'll copywrite and trademark them and get them printed up. The patches thing I got from a chinese website. I want the fitted caps to look right too. I already set up the facebook/shop site and got a wordpress site still under construction.

Just wanted to let you know I was in contact with shopify trying to set up my own merchandising store, right now still working over the prices and details... Right now I'm looking for cheap printing pressing and then I can get a whole bunch wholesale and have them printed up on the cheap.... Also need more artwork done, brehs if you know any one who can draw let me know.

I have an affiliate marketing website idea for someone who will actually put in the work to do it.

• I already did keyword research for it. I have the top keywords, listed from easiest to hardest to rank #1 on Google
• Buyer keywords aka keywords people google for this niche when they are looking to BUY RIGHT NOW and click on your affiliate URL links
• I have a pretty good domain name I copped earlier this year for it too
• 25 Article Headlines for you to use, you probably only need a good 25-30 articles to get the website making cash and ranking on Google
• 5 Affiliate product suggestions that pay high commissions, simply write a review article for them and watch the $$$ appear in your PayPal

I'm 100% sure this website could make great passive income for someone. Within 6 months or less.

This someone would be:

• Hungry for passive income and will work on the site until it's generating money while they sleep (at least 10 hours a week)
• Have a basic understanding of affiliate marketing
• Not a quitter
• Wants to make money online

I'd make it myself (hence why I did all the research earlier this year but things got in the way) but now I'm working hard on my consulting business and I lost interest.

No site is killing this niche. I've done my research and Googles. Someone who really wants to dominate this - can dominate it.

If interested, reply to this post.

Interested bro

Just wanted to update how things are going to my fellow entrepreneurs...

I got two new shirt designs on deck:

The 2nd logo you see will be the official logo I want to put this on other merchandise such as fitted caps, patches and scarfs...
Everyone like the jurraisic park t-shirt logo for some reason.

I'm on the verge of finishing the trademark It's gonna cost like $250 and gonna be a tight squeeze...

The second book I'm still working on and it should be finished by the middle of summer.... I'm still working on establishing a strong marketing campaign, been digging up info on Amazon marketing and the SEO keyword placements and maybe banner ads?!!? still alot I need to get done... I hate my job but the only thing I find enjoyable is building my business..

Any tips on buying whole sale and selling online? I was thinking of selling watches on eBay. Any help would be appreciated.

So,

I started a site for my hobby about a year ago and didn't really put much effort into the site yet was still getting a little bit of revenue and some traffic when I expected none.
I did a redesign of my site theme and now I am averaging about 1000 view per day and growing.
I already have Google ads on my site but what are other ads and affiliate programs that are good ways to monetize?

Do you know anything about generating Traffic??? Could use some help getting views and buyers when I start my shop...

Im not sure if this is any way translatable but how I generated traffic kind of ties into my hobby. So, I am a basketball scout in my spare time. I go to games, record them, edit them by player and upload them to my site and youtube as well as writing articles and scouting reports.

The benefit of this is that the kids I scout come across the content and share it with their friends and families on Twitter/FB. These athletes usually have 1000s of followers so you can see how that basically creates my traffic.

If I were you, find big social media accounts for POC/Black folks that center on art + clothing and get them to share your product. But don't have them just do it once, continue to show love and always be updating them on your products so they will be prone to share your site on a semi-routine basis. Connections.
