Sorry Joey. I haven’t done that, but there are other options for creating landing pages. Have you tried using the free version of element or before? It’s a plug-in that works great for landing pages.
I am trying to sell a single t-shirt on my blogging website. Has anyone done this before that can help me or point me in the right direction? I'm not trying to create an entir
It looks like you've gotten quite a bit of feedback here. It sounds like you want to set up your own design and do the dropship method. I recommend spreadshirt for on-demand printing, and you can check out the store option they offer. You can link to your spreadshirt store from your blog. It would be simpler that way because you wouldn't have the backend customer support.
You can do the woocommerce option as well, but if you do, the person would put the order in on your site, then you'd have to input that order on your distributor's site before the order would be processed for shipment. You'd more quickly need to consider having customer support help, than if you linked directly to the distributor.
I'd recommend you focus on the least time consuming client fulfillment processes, so your time in the startup phase can be most spent on lead generation.
Selling you own t shirt requires an e commerce type website with shopping basket, etc
To avoid this, add an affiliate link to the best selling t-shirts on Amazon (a lot easier with a lot less headaches)
That is a lot easier said than done!!!
You will need to start with a plugin called Woo-commerce, there is plenty of training here (search the menu above) or youtube - how to use woo-commerce...
I haven't sold any t-shirts or merchandise on my site personally. I have looked into different ways to sell though where you would have someone else fulfill and accept payments, pretty much do that for you. There are multiple sites now where you can put your design out for sale and people can purchase it on anything from a mug to apparel. They do all the fulfillment and customer service for you. Some sites have "Base prices" and some offer royalties.
I would suggest to sign up on all sites for the different traffics they bring in daily to deepen the pot, and just adding the like on a store page would be a simple way to direct the traffic you already have.
Some of those sites include:
Site/ Traffic Daily/ Pay
http://Threadless.com /2.19M/Base
http://Printful.com /3.27M/Base
http://Zazzle.com /8.88M/Royalty
http://Redbubble.com /23.11M/%Margin
http://Spreadshirt.com /5.42M/ Commission
http://Teespring.com /32.17M/ Base
Hope this answers your question!
Best wishes,

Thank you Amber...I was looking for a more simple method. To sell through those dropshipping models it requires an ecom site. I want to sell through my blog site. I really do t want to change the look of it. Any suggestions?
No problem. I'm not too familiar with it, as I mentioned. I would then suggest looking through the 14000 plug ins available.
Just remember:
Who's producing the product
Will you be purchasing wholesale all the sizes available to produce it yourself.
What would the costs be
Would you have to spend your time watching that production and building your site
Are you ready to have customer service if someone bought the wrong size or there are problems with the order.
Because of these questions I have not looked further into anything but using those site with their own traffic that I can link for my web page "fans". They also deal with all the possible variations, customer issues, and other things that go into scaling the sales.
Different then Shopify, I would suggest looking at them and seeing what they offer..
Hope that helps,
Amber
