Nothing wrong with that. It's a common chicken-and-egg situation.
Suggestions:
Now that you have some money, hire a designer or three and have them produce a couple of dozen designs for you under various themes. Now you have something to browse. And promote.
Another thought: Hold a contest of some sort. $10K to the design that pulls in the most sales over a period of time.
The best Obama t-shirt contest?
The nerdiest t-shirt contest?
The funniest t-shirt contest?
All of the above?
- wiwillia 14y agoAwesome ideas, we might try a $10k to the best idea around a theme (maybe programming or entrepreneurship) next month
- robomartin 14y agoNothing like money to motivate entrepreneurs! I'll be first in line!
- robomartin 14y agoOne other thought. Be sure you really think this through. People will try to scam you. For example, you might want to state that the reward will be paid in three monthly chunks starting thirty days after the contest closes. Why? Someone can easily put $3,000 on a credit card to win and then reverse the charges on you five days later. The installment payment approach will not prevent all fraud, it's just one idea to at least filter out some of it. Check with credit card companies/PayPal before you do anything. It might be intelligent to install other limits as well. Again, take your time to think it through.
