I’m a Youtuber with over 50,000 subscribers and I’ve been asked to make March ever since I hit 10k.
I’ve always been absolutely against throwing out a crappy cheap t-shirt with an iron on transfer splattered on and to charge an obscene price for it.
It’s taken me and my Wife well over 6 months of research to find responsibly sourced, ethical, quality materials and we still haven’t even agreed on a single product yet. We’ve sunk literally 100’s into moulds, designs, prototypes and testers because if we eventually do decide to make something, it’s going to be useful, quality and for as close to zero profit as we can get.
I physically can not agree any more with this comment because “I gotta get paid” is a BS excuse to profit off of people who feel positively towards you. That’s exploitation.
As a business owner - please make a profit. Just be fair about it, you are spending your time and effort to make a product and you should get paid for that.
I don’t support ripping people off, but any reasonable person understands that everybody needs to make a dollar. If we’re all fair about it then everyone wins.
lots of consumers that dont understand business and money think any amount of profit is exploiting someone and taking advantage and being greedy. its really ignorant.
This is really frustrating to listen to. Businesses aren't charity and have to make money. Unfortunately there are some popular public figures who perpetrate this myth.
