3

00:00:04,770  -->  00:00:07,450
from your YouTube channel is merchandise.

4

00:00:07,450  -->  00:00:10,210
Many do the T-shirt thing
5

5

00:00:10,210  -->  00:00:13,080
because T-shirts can work on any channel
6

6

00:00:13,080  -->  00:00:15,960
and they are easy to outsource.
7

7

00:00:15,960  -->  00:00:18,320
You can get a company to make them for you
8

8

00:00:18,320  -->  00:00:20,540
and handle all of the orders
9

9

00:00:20,540  -->  00:00:24,650
and then they will give you a small cut of the profits.
10

10

00:00:24,650  -->  00:00:27,890
All you have to do is give them the design.
11

11

00:00:27,890  -->  00:00:31,820
Teespring is a company that does this in the States.
12

12

00:00:31,820  -->  00:00:34,950
Some have tried doing PopSockets.

00:00:34,950  -->  00:00:38,810
Jenna Marbles had doggy toys at one point.
14

14

00:00:38,810  -->  00:00:42,880
I made a board game that I was selling a while ago
15

15

00:00:43,730  -->  00:00:46,990
and I personally found it was difficult,
16

16

00:00:46,990  -->  00:00:50,900
as I was handling production and shipping myself,
17

17

00:00:50,900  -->  00:00:53,000
so I stopped doing it.
18

18

00:00:53,000  -->  00:00:55,350
I think to make this model work well,
19

19

00:00:55,350  -->  00:00:58,480
the merchandise has to be really good
20

20

00:00:58,480  -->  00:01:03,480
and it has to appeal to people who aren't your subscribers.
21

21

00:01:04,190  -->  00:01:07,340
And you have to have a large enough audience
22

22

00:01:07,340  -->  00:01:11,120
for it to really make a difference to your bank account.
23

23

00:01:11,120  -->  00:01:15,480
So, nothing to lose by uploading your design
24

24

00:01:15,480  -->  00:01:19,400
to one of these T-shirt making companies
25

25

00:01:19,400  -->  00:01:21,950
or whatever service you wanna use,
26

26

00:01:21,950  -->  00:01:25,310
but you'll get what you put into it.
27

27

00:01:25,310  -->  00:01:30,310
H3H3 and PewDiePie both started clothing brands,
28

28

00:01:31,000  -->  00:01:33,900
which they promote on YouTube,
29

29

00:01:33,900  -->  00:01:38,630
and I don't think this is what you call merch.
30

30

00:01:38,630  -->  00:01:41,650
Those are businesses in and of themselves
31

31

00:01:41,650  -->  00:01:45,260
and you'll need another Udemy course for that.
32

32

00:01:45,260  -->  00:01:46,440
For me personally,
33

33

00:01:46,440  -->  00:01:49,770
the T-Shirt thing didn't really work well.
34

34

00:01:49,770  -->  00:01:52,810
It's probably a better idea to get a designer
35

35

00:01:52,810  -->  00:01:54,423
to design the design.
