Recently you guys left me a comment asking a really good question
And that was when you have a brand new account on Teespring, you have to build up your trust score
Can you purchase your own campaigns to get those first few sales to build up your trust score?
Hi, everyone I hope you're all doing well today. If you're new here, my name is Greg and I like to talk about online entrepreneurship
So if you're interested in making money online
Feel free to look through the channel and you might find some cool stuff that you like in today's video
We are going to be digging into a really good question. And that is when you have a new account on teespring
Can you buy your own shirts to boost your trust score? So to take this a step back first?
We have to understand what the trust score is now
This is only for teespring and that's going to be really important for what I talked about in a little bit here
But what this is is teespring got a lot more popular. So they got a lot more users making a lot more print-on-demand campaigns
So how does teespring filter these how do they know which ones are spam? Which ones are good?
Which ones are coming from trusted sellers they needed to put in some kind of filter
So what they ended up doing was creating a seller trust score
This is an internal metric from teespring that we as sellers cannot see we don't have access to this, but it's account wide
So it's for your entire seller account no matter how many campaigns you have no matter how many storefronts you have
It's all batched into your one account trust score
So the way that this works is when you have a new account on teespring
You over there and you signup and you create your first few campaigns teespring has not assigned you a trust score yet
So what this means for you as a seller with no trust score established is really two things
One is you're not going to be showing up as a priority in their teespring marketplace
So when people are searching through their site your campaigns are not going to be a priority on the site now they may still show
up in the marketplace
but this can take anywhere from
24 hours to a couple weeks for you to start showing up and the second thing is teespring is really good at doing all the
Marketing for you, and this is one of the things that I really love about teespring
But until you have your trust score established, it's questionable
how much of that marketing they're really going to be putting emphasis on your account with both those two things being said you can still
Upload campaigns to the TSP without having your trust score set and you still may get some sales
But that leads me into the second part of this and that is how do you build up your trust score on teespring?
So they start showing you as a priority in the marketplace and they start doing their full
Marketing on all of your campaigns and this is where the topic of this video comes in
so there's no doubt about it the way that you get trust score assigned to you and maintain a high trust score on TSP is
Three things the first and foremost is getting sales on your teespring account
Now teespring has said that there's no exact number of how many sales it takes before they assign you a trust score
But I found that it's between two and ten sales. The second is staying away from copyright strikes
You don't want to be creating designs and uploading them if they have logos of other companies on them if it's clearly
copyrighted content
Do not upload it to your account because you will get a strike from it and then it'll lower your trust score a few common
examples of copyrighted content our movie lyrics song lyrics celebrity quotes which is an interesting one company logos company names and
generally anything that makes you think of another company or brand so just stay on the safe side and don't upload anything if it makes
You think of another?
company or brand and then the third part of the equation of what builds up your trust score is if you have spam in your
Title or your descriptions? So don't be putting spammy things in your title and description
Don't be putting limited edition' going to end today
You have to buy it here buy it today if it looks spammy to you. Don't put it in there
So with those three pieces of the trust score in mind
That's where today's video question comes in and that is can you buy your own?
campaigns to get these sales on your account that two to ten sales that you need to get your trust score and the answer to
The question here is no, but give me a second to explain here
Teespring has said that you buying your campaigns does not count towards your trust cord
However, family and friend purchases do now I'm going out making an assumption here
And that is that the way that they're tracking who's making the purchases is on the credit card or the payment information?
So if it's all coming from your name?
They know that you're purchasing all of these things
Now the second way that they possibly could be tracking it is through the IP or your internet
So if it's all coming from the same place you created your account as a seller on your home internet
And then you try to make purchases from your home internet. Yes, that could be another way to track it
So with those things being said you can absolutely have family and friends make purchases of your campaigns to help get your trust score set
The alternative to that and the way that I really recommend doing because it's legitimate is going to Instagram
Creating a niche page and then having a niche storefront on teespring
driving traffic from Instagram over to your storefront and you should get your two to ten sales pretty easily in the beginning and if you
Guys need to walk through of that and made a video up here that you can watch that I'll walk you through
Basically getting your first sales on teespring
I hope that answers the question of if you can buy your own shirts on teespring to build up your trust score if you guys
