"At least ten, the company says, have become millionaires from the work."
Does this mean they sold a million dollars plus worth of shirts OR that, after all expenses, they netted a million? The phrase millionaire implies the latter but that is a far higher bar to cross.
- joshuasortino 12y agoThe latter. We have paid out, after expenses, millions to at least ten sellers on Teespring.
- Retric 12y agoThat still excludes any of their external marketing costs.
- rosser 12y agoIt also may not include any taxes owed. That's just as orthogonal to how much Teespring has paid out, which is the entirety of their claim.
- smackfu 12y agoRight. That's why they should just say "paid out a million" (a statement of income) rather than "became millionaires" (a statement of net worth.)
- hanspeide 12y agoWould be interesting to know who these sellers are. Are you allowed to disclose it?
