thats all you need. tap into your glory and be bold with your manifestations. make them moves ... "scared money, dont make money"
you could flip 50 dollars into a fortune just consistency and dedication.
its a mentality thing you're not poor, you living life comfortable enough to log on and chop it up you are comfortable enough to level up.

for what? clearly his angry broke and bitter. its a group-think and his making statements showing his frustration with his life.
dont have time to respond to that energy just dap him up which is what his living for.

dude its the easiest one for us to get into, all we need is a bakery.
the packaging is collaborative, the marketing is collaborative and us pushing one brand we can do other ventures under that umbrella.
- the recipe (very important as it has to be regulated and its part of the packaging and promo)
- there are factories here in the UK that set up cakes,etc ... if we were interested theres the same in the US obviously.
- get the factory patented recipe and they bake them joints and add the preservatives (what type of biscuits, shortbreads expire quicker)
once we have sampled the biscuit and agreed the taste and we like. this is were the group-tank does wonders because after we do the packaging. we all form like voltron and do marketing, viral, social media, mom and pop shops in your city, web merchandise.
if you were doing the biscuit independently you could work with a smaller bakery as you will be shipping regionally, but as we are international lets get thinking expansively.

we need to connect off of TheColi. Let’s get on a zoom call or something and put a plan in action. Otherwise this is just barbershop talk.

i think i am going to push the clothing idea, with plain tee's being the foundation you can go into thrift shops and customize jackets and dresses with the coli woven label stitched onto it. same logo you can press stickers and posters round your locals and promote the web-page for the merchandise. open to all forms of commerce but i think theres something in this one.
its sunday blessings lets build, as for paperwork thats the mod/team leader and whose in gets the products sent to local post office or something.
crack open alibaba stop playing.
i work in the apparel industry as a Patternmaker/Samplemaker + Garment Technologist,
if you really want to make money you need real garments.
you need garments that solve problems, t-shirts are not an emotive enough product.
dresses, swimsuits, pants, outerwear...a tshirt is a novelty, personally. it's not a necessity.
pants and bottoms convert and sell in higher ratios...2:1 is a floor.
you would see quicker success making your own Embellish or Hyperdenim than another tshirt shop
LVMH, Prada, Hermes, etc etc make the bulk of their profit on leather branded accessories (bags, wallets, shoes, etc)...its not their Ready-to-Wear like people think it is.
and marketing is their biggest outgoing expense going into the millions for Vogue, Bossip and TV commercial placements.
success with tshirts needs high volume online traffic and a high volume of sales...but it can be done.
there are people making 20k monthly from tshirts but you will be spending a lot of money warming up cold traffic.
fashion merchandising(ex- buying off alibaba and reselling with a %markup) is a staple but the consumers are onto it and are starting to demand unique products from sellers.
it's easier to be profitable selling uniquely made higher end garments
than it is to sell mass-market $30-$50 items.
your options are going to come down to how good you can sew.
if you can sew to true commercial standards you will always be a bucket.

blessings my brother.
please teach me.
my experience in selling tshirts and custom clothes came from myspace and the hiphop mixtape sellers i use to make a bit of bank. i had an alibaba account, i made sure the tshirt was 220gsm+ thats the highest thread count so i could charge premium pricing but they were v-necks and never took off, i almost had a karmalooop account to go all the way in.
now you scared me a little with the tshirt faltering market my aim is sweaters/sweats, and depending how much for a starter order of 500 i might go directly into that. (which would mean getting a heat presser as the ink seems deeper into the fabric better than transfer) so far with the blessings of this thread pushing me on and motivating i have got things in motion. no where near an order for garments yet but i am ordering the custom woven labels, i am just waiting on just a minor few bits of paperwork.
what i highlighted?
could you please go in-depth a little here. all i know about that game is you need celebrity endorsements right off the gate to make it. like billionairesboysclub, supreme, etc. its rare a unique style like the ed hardy tattoo joints even though they gained celeb appeal quick they never marketed them as such.
finally sorry i am very intrigued here with a limited amount for online marketing, my plan is to do the same routine target social media taste-makers pages, free merch to wear the clothing, but i am also going to go to barber and market stalls around my city and put up post work and
stickers to get the webpage traffic.
any sort of advice or insight is worth gold bro, please.

so heres my thing with it almost a wrap for the year and we could have died real talk.
setting aside a little bank for a risk of noble pursuit is commendable so we should think about some sort of support/competition system for the 2021.
what different projects are looking like, you dont have to give up or link any business deets but you can picture and comment on progress like i've been doing in this thread. all sorts of prospects and the social media marketing and ecommerce is at a peak if you listen to some people we are in the end of those days. take advantage take opportunity lets build for better.
+ down for that coli online show presentation thing with talk,news,chat,info,raps, and what not. hit me in PM and email because 2021 is going to be a real health hazard. if im not fly i die
