You never said net or profit. My side project is now making over $1,000 in revenue. Soon it will actually be profitable.

It's an apparel company for women who like to: hunt, fish, and be outdoors.

How can you make any money at this? Printful is expensive and you offer free shipping on orders. Say one of your women's shirts runs 22.99. Printful charges 16 for the shirt and 5 for shipping, so you're only making 1.99 on that order. You're going to have to sell a whole lotta shirts! Are you planning on doing away with the free shipping at some point to increase your net or are you doing this for fun?

I only ask because I was considering using printful for our online shirt sales so that I wouldn't have to do much but they ate up all the profits. If you have the cash to pay upfront, screenprinting is the way to go.

How did you get that up and running?

A friend of mine started this label therhinestonecompany.bigcartel.com as a side project and I joined a year ago. We had (and still do) a lot of interest but we both became busy. But I'm tempted to pick it up again only because I feel it would do well with proper execution. I've been a silent Hacker News reader the past year or so (I'm a journalist turned coder) but your post grabbed my attention!

I've been meaning to write a blog post about it...

We use Shopify with a printing and fulfillment service: http://theprintful.com

It's been a decent amount of work, to be honest.
