We thought we'd share with you the TWO TOP TIPS you'll need to get your shop on the right track right away. Think of it as a "quick start guide" to TeePublic.

1. Customizing Your Storefront

As you may have heard before, your storefront is special. It’s the first contact a customer has with your brand, so make sure it reflects your style. We've made it easy to make your shop your own: you can set up your icon and cover; plus, you can add your social links and a bio, too!

First, your icon and cover: 

1. To update your logo, simply click on it. To update your cover, click the Edit Cover button on the top right. A prompt will appear for each image.

2. Click Choose File and find the file on your computer. Click Open, then Save!

Now, your social links and bio:

It's also important to add social links to your store page so that fans of your work on TeePublic can find you on other websites and social platforms. When you're logged into your TeePublic account, click the Edit Storefront button to add social links to your profile. You'll be able to add links for Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Tumblr, DeviantArt, Youtube, Twitch, and TikTok, as well as your own homepage or personal website. Visitors to your TeePublic store will be able to view these links from your public profile.

 

2. Share Your Designs on Social Media

You've already done the hard work here: You've put your work out there! We are so proud of you.

Lots of folks have dreams of becoming a published artist. Guess what, that's YOU now! 

Run a little victory lap and then share your work on social media--I promise your audience will want to know about your hard work!

It's a great idea to post your designs wherever you have social media accounts, but we suggest especially focusing on visual platforms, like Facebook and Instagram.
