Not working right now and listening to trueanon talk about selling shirts at trump rallys. Things are going to be insufferable for the next few months, and i’m not working. Should i make some drumpf/brandon merch and try to cash in?

    seems risky. how much would you need to sell to make it worthwhile? how much of that will you need to front for printing and traveling around following trump? how well can you afford to lose all of that money and time if they don’t bite?

        The online market for swag with stuff printed on it is massively oversaturated right now. The get rich quick grift economy has moved from drop shipping electronics to drop shipped printing.

        There are a bunch of online print shops that will take an image file, print it, and ship it to a customer for you. There are also data services that scrape Etsy, eBay, etc, then sell sales data to other sellers. So even if you make a unique design that sells, competitors will steal them and be selling them for less almost immediately.
