Hi guys and girls… its that time again when I get the time on my lunch break to jot down what goes through my head. A couple of thoughts lately that I have been mulling over is the idea of merchandise.
I really need to be careful with this idea. Start small perhaps. I don’t want to just end up having a bunch of stuff with my face on it – that would be a) creepy & b) more painful if no-one bought it… ;)
I’ve had the idea to launch a range of t-shirts to start with. It should be quick to set up an online shop somewhere and maybe use eBay as well. I’ve always thought about making some t-shirts with designs that are appealing for people to wear and more importantly – pay for!
I also thought that I could make some designs to be part of my YouTube ‘empire’. At this point it is not really viable to try and sell t-shirts based on my YouTube presence. Eventually I would really like to have the chance to produce designs based on my YouTube channel, but before I can even think about doing that, I need to sort out a final style for the channel itself - The colours, the shapes, etc. Once I have that down, perhaps I can work on certain designs and work out what looks the best. However, I think as time goes on (and I get closer to the 4-figure subscriptions) I can still spend and evening here, a weekend there, working on those quite frankly life changing designs. ;)
I have no idea when I will get around to launching the designs, but I already have a few ideas and will try to get them in shape before I ‘release’ them onto the unsuspecting public. (Heh heh...)
I hope that one day I get to see someone wearing a t-shirt I’ve created - that would be absolutely amazing. *goes into dream world*
Well, I can live in hope…LOL
So until tonight,
Peace.
Snare.

Don't think you're big enough for that yet. It is easy to subscribe, not so easy to buy stuff.
Agree with Phil, although it depends on the design. If you can think of something that you can look at and think, "I definitely would buy that!" then go for it, it's easy (and I believe free) to set up a lightweight CafePress store. However, yes, a picture of your beaming, saluting, winking face with the caption "You are The Snared!" might be a hard sell at this point ;)
