Another Threadless Clone! (But this one has money!)

admin

HereItself.com are starting with a bang! A top prize of $4000 if you win the competition. I’ve become a little jaded by all these Threadless clones, if you have a lot of friends who’ll sign up and vote then do it. If you’re just a t-shirt designer with great talent and only older miserable friends who don’t understand your passion for tees, and can’t afford the time to sign-up for a site to then click your design, then don’t.

As always we’re talking SEO skills here, not design skills. Of course to win outright your design has to be great, but the only way it’ll be chosen is if people know it’s there, hence the whole circle-jerking chicken and the egg conundrum begins. How do you get popular? Make great tees. How do you sell them? Be popular before you even designed them! I’m hoping if I repeat this problem I have with t-shirt voting systems some programming genius will work out a solution (Some Day :/)

When I graduated from art college I tried a going for a few Mac design jobs, all of them wanted experience, which you couldn’t get unless you worked for them, which basically meant work for free for a few months and then we’ll see.

This is what Itself say… “If your design hits the jackpot and becomes the next fabulous itself item, it will be printed at a limited amount of 3000 and you will receive $1750 in cash and $250 in itself-coins. If it becomes a hit and the demand gets unstoppable, there will be one more reprint of 3000 items from which you will receive a further $1750 in cash and $250 in itself-coins.”

Gawd knows what the coins are, some kind of voucher thingy I suppose…

Ah well if you’re a betting man/woman, try working the odds on this one and let us know how you get on? Besides there will be far less competition there right now, yes this minute, hurry before they become as big as Threadless – lol.
