Hey, hey, hey, before anyone goes quitting their day jobs to open a SpreadShop, hold your horses! When we say “Quit Your Day Job” we mean it as more of a goal to aspire to. Of course you don’t want to just drop all your financial responsibilities, throw caution straight into the wind and end up living under a bridge.

Popular Youtube Gamer H20 Delirious powers his merch with SpreadShop…also he’s pretty hilarious.

We want to help empower and inspire you to launch your own creative merch shop. Sure, you can use a lot of these tips and strategies at any old online shop or service, but we will be highlighting SpreadShop because… well this is where our day jobs are! And it also happens to be the business model that we personally love and use. We count ourselves lucky that our “day jobs” are essentially to help others quit theirs! And we’re here to tell you that it is absolutely possible to do just that. We’ve seen it time and time again with some of our big Youtube creators who have SpreadShops that actually make more money for them then their actual paid ads do. There’s never been a better time to monetize with merch.

And it’s not just Youtubers. There are plenty of other creative side hustlers, artists and entrepreneurs who are doing quite well with their SpreadShops. While we can’t give out specific numbers, we can point you to many examples of different types of creators who are using SpreadShop to power their online merchandise.

Dudes, mess around with the slider to get an idea of how much you could be making each month with a SpreadShop.

Who are “we” specifically? My team and I are referred to as “Team Awesome” within the walls of SpreadShirt (our mothership corporation!) — We’re a group of creative graphic designers, illustrators and marketing geniuses who do a little of everything. From marketing materials to actually making apparel designs for some of our top shop partners. And now here we are creating some original content to help motivate you in whatever side hustle you’ve got going on, and yes, in some cases, even be able to quit your day job.

First step… go register your own SpreadShop for your brand, business idea or fundraiser. It’s super easy and free to sign up and get going. Kick the tires over there and see what the platform has to offer. Then be sure to subscribe to this publication here on Medium so you don’t miss our upcoming content!

And if you have any questions, feel free to e-mail me directly at dco@spreadshirt.com or comment right here and I’ll get back to you ASAP.
