Today I wanted to share with you the story of my apparel company Liner Note Kids ( http://linernotekids.com/ )! Use the discount code LNKYOUTUBE to get 20% off in the store 🙂 EXPAND FOR ALL INFO:

Starting a small business and selling clothes or anything else you’ve made online can be really daunting. This is the story of how mine started 🙂 It’s a real DIY company: I design, screen-print and sell the shirts online myself. If anyone of you have been wanting to start something like this, I say go for it! And feel free to chat to me about it in the comments, I’ll offer any tips and advice I can, although I am just making it up as I go along! 🙂

Hi Charlie, have only recently started regularly watching YouTube vids for things other than music or how-to's and have watched a few of yours which are very helpful and enjoyable btw 🙂 I am curious from this vid though…I have wanted to design lyric tee's in the past but always been unsure about the copyright, can I assume that it is NOT copyright and if so, can you please explain this to me? What I have found so far is that it is a bit of an iffy situation as song lyrics much of the time are commonly said things or you can use part of a line for example and no one can specify that it is actually from that particular song. But I would love finally do my range IF it is legal? I would like to have them known as 'Lyric Tee's too as opposed to being subliminal too. Thanks, Nikki

Thanks so much for this video, it was really helpful. Since making this vid, tee shirt designing has become super popular, how do you stand out from your competitors. I want to do something that's different from the norm.

I want to actually create my own clothes to sell….
would there be any copyright issues if I copy a clothing design? like maybe a t-shirt or dress?
and how did you design your shirts? Did you like print out and ironed on the fonts? Or did you send it somewhere with your designs to get it professionally made on a shirt?

Hey I was thinking about starting a T-shirt business for fun like you do and also to earn a little bit of money and I would appreciate some help/ advice from you on doing so. I have a few questions,

First off, who would you recommend I go to in order to have the T-shirts made once I have a design idea? Is there places where I could go to get it done or is it online only? Also, I want to sell workout clothing, so I will need the higher quality/ softer and stretchier fabric. What type of fabric do you use for your shirts? I was thinking going 95% poly and 5% spandex, would you recommend this for workout gear?
Thank you, I think this would be a fun venture for me, please let me know if you have any tips or suggestions
