Nobody may care or read this but I made about 100k in sales at 16 and I only started my brand in early June. I never had any experience running a brand before this is my first time. With the right product, and good marketing, you can really make your brand go big. I didn't pay a single dollar towards ads or influencer marketing. I did it all on my own in only a month. You guys can do it! Just trust in God because he is the only reason why I made so much in so little time.
@@imvishu07 My bad I meant early june, so like last month. You just got to know your audience and be smart with posting trendy videos marketing your brand. You have to know what kind of videos people like watching and incoporate your brand into it.
so happy i found this video, ive had a brand for around a month that just cracked ~2.2K in revenue with a thousand followers in the first month and felt inspired to keep going, but this advice was gold. i realized i should keep pushing because much like you, ive been a grailed seller for 8+ years, ive been on those old carti/rocky fashion waves, i used to love myself some supreme,thrasher,ricks etc. made me realize that someone successful sees it how i see it and not like these clothing brand “gurus” on youtube who just wrap their trackhawk and tell us to hop on one on one calls with them, this is real ass advice. thank you dawg.
im 31 and its so funny you mentioned every fashion trend since i was a kid from the oakleys, to the uggs, and gucci! I was honestly surprised you didnt bring up Ed Hardy, Polo, and True Religion!!! ive loved fashion since i was a kid but never had the money to ever buy any of it, so i would draw mock-ups all day in school from jeans, shirts, hats, etc. After highschool ended instead of following my dreams I got a normal 9-5 because to family and friends at the time telling me its not realistic. for the last 10+ years ive seen every mock-up i did as a kid come to life and when I do I think to myself "what if" and now me being 31 I still think about it... while i love this video and you being so straight forward, I admire that!

I'd only recommend starting a clothing brand in 2024 if you have an intense passion for something and want to build a community around it. Ex: Gym, Surfing, Fishing, Riding Motorcycles, bird-watching Lol. The more niche it is the better. The world DOES NOT need another hellstar. Only caveat is you truly just have a good eye for design/aesthetics and make cool shit
I truly appreciate this video. Starting a brand has been something I've wanted to do purely because I love fashion, and wanna make my own garments. I'm currently in the process of researching before anything, and broad videos like this help me (I take notes). I think despite the reality of how difficult it will be, I am still willing to put my all into it.
Literally what I tell all clothing brand owners aspiring to do what my clients do LMFAO “If you want to make money, start a different business…” 😂😂😂😂 this how you gon keep me watching for 20 minutes!!! The realest statement you could have made out the gate 🔥🙏🏼
Great video bro. I’m a Shopify goon myself, 7 figure exit last year. Completely different space. Finally stepping into my passion project, here for the long run
Bro thanks for helping me realize how stupid i was i did it for money before now i got my best friend whose dream is to have a brand and now we are starting soon 🎉🎉
Hey Dave I’m apart of the other 10 percent who’s watching the video. You’re right people mainly want to become clothing owners to post new hellcats or materialistic bullshit. Thank you for all the advice especially towards marketing pertaining to my business 🙏🏾
people dont realize that clothing brands that are outside of streetwear often lose money and just do it out of love for fashion. Designing graphic tees and bs hoodies isn't a fashion thing, its just a quick cash grab. Martine Rose once did a collection with only 1 look cause she was broke, then she later helped demna with reviving balenciaga into what it is now, It all comes down to the intention of the clothes and authenticity.
I've never wanted to start a brand based off wants. I love art and I love clothing, I know I've got this if I take everything I've ever learned and make it something worth wearing
I stopped my clothing brand to start an SMMA and now I’m back to clothing brand cuz it’s my dream. Rate the honesty cuz Yh bro I know it might be tough but may the Lord guide me 🙏
Clothing is a universal need. And people have way to many clothes and pay way too much for them. Its a very profitable niche, thats why you see these drops making so much money. Theres the best manufacturers producing these premium hoodies for $20. Many of the brands resell it for 80+. If your CAC is 15-20 you still have $40 profit per product. Now if you launch a collection of 5 products you have an AOV of 100 , it can definitely add up. Invest in branding and story behind your values, people will appreciate your brand.
First of all, great video, mate! Speaking from personal experience (you will relate i think), when starting a clothing brand, it's essential to truly fall in love with fashion and everything that comes with it. It's not about the money; it's about the creative process. Secondly, you need to be tenacious. You'll likely stumble along the way, multple times, and that's completely normal. Failure is a human experience, but the key is to learn from it and keep creating. In the end, while money is nice, the feeling of seeing someone else wearing your creation is priceless. Follow your passion, trust your vision, and you'll achieve success.
Bro who is even talking about a 1mil per month clothing brand wtf😂😂. Im good with a 100k month that more than enough. I aint trying to be fuckin christian dior
@@nisayx I'm saving up right now, my goal is 3k for my starting capital and I'm at 1k so far, I have my target audience and brand name and I'm teaching myself business at home, not going to college (at least yet)
Personally I love LV and Off white, especially Off White. I don’t see it as irrelevant, as compared to Gucci, but you’re the expert, I just love learning about the market.
there are people who make 2k a day digging gold. Any business vehicle is viable, of course there are better and worse but the most important is to stick to one brand.
Insane value in that video, thanks man🙏 I want to start a clothing brand, but I’m really into minimalism, that’s something I really love, but it’s harder to stand out, would you have any advices? I’m a UI/UX/graphic designer, I thought about doing some cool things, not just a logo on a t-shirt ofc, that’s not realistic for a new brand, but still keeping it minimalistic, also had ce this idea of sharing the meaning behind each piece (it’s story) making the perceived value higher Well that’s a lot haha, thanks for reading, can’t wait to have your opinion on that, have a nice day man 🫡
thank you a lot for the advice. and yes me and my friend r hellbent on making a clothing brand lmao but thank you so much for the video. will definitely be following your advice bc ur genuine.
I’m one of the 1% of people who watched the whole thing. i’ve bought vinyl cutters heat presses and all the things i need for a clothing brand i have it all set up but idk if i should continue after hearing this. i enjoy making my clothes and designs and want them to do well and i want someone else to like them too so i think i just need to keep going for the long run but idk this video has given me mixed feelings about whether it’s worth pursuing or not.
defiantly continue, I started a year ago with a heat press and cricut, built my brand from that, I’m now out 13.5k follows on ig and my brand is runnin smooth, there’s ups n downs but if you just stay consistent and dedicated you’ll run it up
Okey so i just made my design and messaged many manufacturers. Should I just turn around and not do it? But thanks for the warning, I love that your being real
I agree on the part of clothing brands being a pain to run but I feel like if you are more motivated to create a brand and identity that people can follow and look up to it is so worth it. I am starting a gym brand so it might be a bit different for me but I love creating my own clothes and it is a true passion of mine. The grind is what I love.
By no money do you mean as a brand just starting out, they won’t be seeing any profits until year 3-5? I think for a lot of people simply getting to 5-8k per month profit so they can sustain themselves while they’re running the brand would be life changing. Do you believe that even generating those numbers are unrealistic within the first 1-2 years? Asking because I’m trying to decide whether or not I should completely commit to this! Love your content as always.
if your goal is to build a $10-100m/ company then you wont make $ for a while if your goal is to make 5-8k/ mo and just stay making tht much in profit per month then yes its possible in 1 year
@@DaveNashthanks man! I think getting to the stage where you’re covering your basic needs with the brand and then taking a more patient, longer term approach to build something meaningful is something most people would love. Not about it being a get rich quick scheme but can I work on a brand long enough for a year so I can sustain myself is a question I ask myself before I dive head deep. A cool video topic you could touch on is whether or not you should even start a clothing brand in the first place haha. Much love, keep doing your thing
It will work if you keep bringing something new to the game. Im not saying you have to create something that has never been done before. Being Able to create bunch of clean design
I’m an one man army homie! Lolol Super exhausting tho , but definitely with passion and givin’ it all with my heart I pray success! Btw great video bro! ❤️🔥
He’s talking about the people who don’t have design capabilities and can only produce the same shirts and jackets the department store makes but with their own logo. lol. Fashion brands still make money, why is that? 😛
Yeah you're right. I dont think real designers are the target for the video. I see a lot of uninspired trash being pushed which reduces the bar of entry which in turn pushes saturation and makes it harder to stand out. If you are creative or open to work with creatives, that's how you grow and make success
saying gucci and loui aren't relevant is absolutely insane bruh. just cause you think it's "over saturated" doesn't mean everyone else in the world doesn't want it.
@@tengoodquestions Nah bro, I gained 26k followers in a month with my brand. I spent no money towards ads, models, photos, ect. I did everything off my phone and with myself. You don't gotta do all that fancy stuff and pay high amounts of money.
@@DaveNash what does that have to do with it being over complicated or not? It's literally what is expected of making clothes. If you think starting any brand is about just doing one thing without doing all the other logistics then you're just a idiot who didn't research. Again as long as you know what needs done, it's really not that complicated. It applies for youtube, streaming, sports, anything that involves being your own boss.
In my eyes if wealth is the number one priority for something like a clothing brand, its extremely unlikely you'll succeed. This is a business based on art, True artists don't see what they do as a job, but as a blessing in and of itself. I haven't seen much money, but I'm in love with this process. I love building the foundation of the brand, the meaning of it, the reason for it. What it can do for others and how I can use it to give back to my community. I'm not stressing about the money right now because I know I'm building something of value, I'm in love with doing it. And I know my quality and designs have value and substance behind it.
I have a business model that no one in this space is doing, I also have that leverage you were talking about, my situation is a serious anomaly. I am also an artist and designer first which helps. I won't go into my model but I am looking to learn about the marketing aspect. do you do consultations?
@4:10 you said people do 40k on their first drop and then the sales just go down. But guess what? we did less than 2k on our first drop so it only means one thing 😎🤙
do you think you can go to viral? or you can find that sweet spot where your sales are alot more consistent but may not be to high or to low.so you don’t get that effect cause to many people have it.and how do you find manufacturers
Heyy guys I need help , can anyone explain me how dropping limited peices works? Like if I'm dropping 100 t shirts what about the sizes ? Should I make 100 of each size (that doesn't seem right though) or 100/all size and how to decide the quantity of each size ? PLEASE HELP ME WITH THIS
@@DaveNash thanks for the clarification I need money to restart my construction business so I’ve been thinking of clothing as I’ve had success in dropshipping and construction any advice
Hey Dave, not exactly sure if you will have time to reply but I was wondering if you could give me some advice. Ive been sewing for years and its my biggest passion, I did start my business 2 years ago and everyone who said they would support and buy, disappeared. I was getting little to no views on tiktok etc and I had no job at the time. I wanna get into details but basically I will be starting it up again this year (it depends if my apartment is ready and filled with what I need) and I was just wondering if you could give me little tips on what to do for each month and before I open my business. (Im a made to order brand, and I also sell accessories) and how do I approach too? Everyone is saying to pay for someone to do it for me but Im not sure how much they charge and I’d rather learn myself vs paying for someone when I dont have the money for it now. Thank you in advance!
First off appreciate you for watching and taking the time to leave a question! I would suggest for you to really hone in on product. If no one is buying and tiktoks / reels arent getting views it could potentially mean that your product isnt desirable. Remember, just because you can make it does t mean someone will buy it.
@@DaveNashappreciate the response. I agree, and that’s the worst part that I’m noticing. Beside all the hardships clothing brands already come with, like finding a manufacture, setting up a website,etc. Is how do i put my idea and this image i have in my head on a fkn piece of clothing and make it look GOOD. I definitely understand why you said not to make one 😂
Don’t believe this guy, my friend started bitters desires last year he wasn’t even a designer he was a foot ball player. Every drop sell out and get better and better. Guess what it’s just him! Follow your dreams! Don’t believe this guy! 😂

saying gucci and loui aren't relevant is absolutely insane bruh. just cause you think it's "over saturated" doesn't mean everyone else in the world doesn't want it.
Don’t listen to this guy, he said a $2,000 photo shoot 🤦🏽♂️ this where I unsubscribe 😂
agency model full day is already $1k+, not to mention photographer hair/makeup studio etc. are you okay bro?
DO listen to this guy. $2000 is even on the Cheapside if you want to do it properly and ethically.
@@tengoodquestions Nah bro, I gained 26k followers in a month with my brand. I spent no money towards ads, models, photos, ect. I did everything off my phone and with myself. You don't gotta do all that fancy stuff and pay high amounts of money.
no pain no gain
absolutely
bruh it ain't that complex unless you make it complex
are you doing $100k/mo for several years straight? hmmm
@@DaveNash what does that have to do with it being over complicated or not? It's literally what is expected of making clothes. If you think starting any brand is about just doing one thing without doing all the other logistics then you're just a idiot who didn't research. Again as long as you know what needs done, it's really not that complicated. It applies for youtube, streaming, sports, anything that involves being your own boss.
what a negative video lol
not really, just real
Keep rising dope content 🔥🔥
appreciate you!
Thank u for the video super real
thanks for watching & taking the time to leave a comment!
In my eyes if wealth is the number one priority for something like a clothing brand, its extremely unlikely you'll succeed. This is a business based on art, True artists don't see what they do as a job, but as a blessing in and of itself. I haven't seen much money, but I'm in love with this process. I love building the foundation of the brand, the meaning of it, the reason for it. What it can do for others and how I can use it to give back to my community.
I'm not stressing about the money right now because I know I'm building something of value, I'm in love with doing it. And I know my quality and designs have value and substance behind it.
If there's one thing I know is that artists always win.
I have a business model that no one in this space is doing, I also have that leverage you were talking about, my situation is a serious anomaly. I am also an artist and designer first which helps. I won't go into my model but I am looking to learn about the marketing aspect. do you do consultations?
yes. send me an email descrbing what kind of help you'd need -
dave@scalefashion.co
plzzzz shoot info on your tax accountant I would love that!
email me dave@davenash.co i can intro!
Can you do a video on how to setup ads? Automatic vs manual targeting?
gotchu for sure
where do i find ur brand
@insomnia
you should do a video on how you get write offs! and handle tax side
Tax doesnt matter if u make no profits 🫡 focus on getting to $100k+ profit per year first
What about a print on demand clothing business for a side hustle , what yall think ?
its probably decent if you want to make a few hundred per month
If u are in it for the money then it's not for u
facts
Loved the video bro, thank you so much!
scary video tho, ngl😭
it's worth it if you love clothing
and thank you for watching!
Can you talk about the jewellery business in another video?
Potentially yeah sure
thank you!
well put together
thank you sir
@4:10 you said people do 40k on their first drop and then the sales just go down.
But guess what? we did less than 2k on our first drop so it only means one thing 😎🤙
ONLY UP FROM HERE BOSS
What is your opinion on luxury streetwear POD?? Including marketing agency’s full time graphics designer? Please need your advice!!!
definitely dont do this!! design something yourself or hire someone yourself, then just get it made bulk.
do you think you can go to viral? or you can find that sweet spot where your sales are alot more consistent but may not be to high or to low.so you don’t get that effect cause to many people have it.and how do you find manufacturers
you can probably do both. but i dont really know how to do it. thats why i rely on fb ads
Heyy guys I need help , can anyone explain me how dropping limited peices works? Like if I'm dropping 100 t shirts what about the sizes ? Should I make 100 of each size (that doesn't seem right though) or 100/all size and how to decide the quantity of each size ?
PLEASE HELP ME WITH THIS
just get 100 shirts, S 20 M 35 L 30 XL 15

@@DaveNash I think my biggest problem would be finding good designers really

No problem!!
How many pieces would you recommend dropping on the first drop? Considering having a audience already
3 pieces is cool fam
Hey Dave, not exactly sure if you will have time to reply but I was wondering if you could give me some advice. Ive been sewing for years and its my biggest passion, I did start my business 2 years ago and everyone who said they would support and buy, disappeared. I was getting little to no views on tiktok etc and I had no job at the time. I wanna get into details but basically I will be starting it up again this year (it depends if my apartment is ready and filled with what I need) and I was just wondering if you could give me little tips on what to do for each month and before I open my business. (Im a made to order brand, and I also sell accessories) and how do I approach too? Everyone is saying to pay for someone to do it for me but Im not sure how much they charge and I’d rather learn myself vs paying for someone when I dont have the money for it now. Thank you in advance!
First off appreciate you for watching and taking the time to leave a question!
I would suggest for you to really hone in on product. If no one is buying and tiktoks / reels arent getting views it could potentially mean that your product isnt desirable. Remember, just because you can make it does t mean someone will buy it.
Im a barber. About 10k saved. Willing to invest 2000 just trying to put my passion in another area and see some profits overtime. Is this a bad idea?
@@Blurfectionn You can do it if you truly think you can develop a good product. dont release bad stuff.
@@DaveNashappreciate the response. I agree, and that’s the worst part that I’m noticing. Beside all the hardships clothing brands already come with, like finding a manufacture, setting up a website,etc. Is how do i put my idea and this image i have in my head on a fkn piece of clothing and make it look GOOD. I definitely understand why you said not to make one 😂
Could you make a Video on how much it realistically costs to start a clothing brand
Sure thats a good idea.
Do you want to start a clothing brand?

Don’t believe this guy, my friend started bitters desires last year he wasn’t even a designer he was a foot ball player. Every drop sell out and get better and better. Guess what it’s just him! Follow your dreams! Don’t believe this guy! 😂

Bottega desires **
This sounds tuff
yes
@DaveNash I will be back and I'll send you merchandise. You best believe it - Winston
