Social Networking Site Entrepreneurs
Tuesday 08th of January 2008 01:53:33 AM
Social networking sites have resulted in many entrepreneurs. They have allowed individuals who were not able to become successful in other areas of their life able to make a living through selling many different items. One of the biggest selling items is t-shirts. People all around the world are customizing their own printed t-shirts and have been selling them on social networking sites. If their t-shirts spark an interest than the selling power that they have is amazing. This is how Babycakes Clothing emerged.
Telegraph.co.uk reports that Paul Griffiths is much like many other entrepreneurs who find their own business venture online. He attempted college but found that he wasn’t much of a student. The difference is that he did not go out and try to start a t-shirt business. Griffith set up a personal MySpace for his friends and decided to give his 200 friends printed t-shirts he designed.
Griffith’s friends were impressed and he decided to upload his designs to his MySpace page. There were so many inquiries for his designs that he sold out almost immediately. His MySpace friend’s list grew from 20,000 friends to over 65,000. Due to his instant popularity, he has become the 22nd most popular person on UK MySpace.
Since November, Griffith’s site has been view over 500,000 times. So far he has sold £150,000 in printed t-shirts. His success is only growing; Griffith is now able to advertise his clothing with Google. He plans to start a video feature on his site so that customers can speak with him and ask questions.

the chance to review the image is great for checking everything over one last time before printing. the time between reviewing the print and delivery was another positive, taking only a couple of days. my friends were really pleased with the finished items. unfortunately i was out when the courier called. he didn't note the date or time of his attempted delivery on his card and he hadn't filled in when or if he would attempt delivery again. on repeatedly phoning the company on a friday between 4:50 and 6 i got no answer. i then tried again on the monday morning, but once again i got no answer. after phoning clothes2order they resolved everything. i realise this is outwith the control of clothes2order, but it soured an otherwise excellent service.
