Monetize Your Audience with Merch
Selling custom merchandise — like t-shirts, hoodies, caps, mugs, and phone cases — is a great way to monetize your community. It builds brand loyalty and lets your fans support you directly. For creators in Bangladesh, selling merch was once difficult due to printing and shipping logistics. Today, the process is streamlined.
In this guide, we share how to design and sell custom merch in Bangladesh in 2025.
1. Custom Print-on-Demand vs. Bulk Printing
- Print-on-Demand (POD): The printing company prints and ships the item only when a customer places an order. You don't pay upfront for inventory.
- Bulk Printing: You order 50-100 t-shirts upfront and handle shipping yourself. This has higher profit margins but requires upfront cash.
2. Where to Print Merch in Bangladesh
Several local printing companies offer print-on-demand and bulk printing for creators:
- Fabrilife: Popular platform that offers custom t-shirt printing and merchant stores.
- Teezily & Redbubble: International POD sites (require PayPal/international accounts for payout).
- Local Print Shops: Local print houses in Dhaka (Dhaka New Market or Nilkhet) offer cheap bulk printing for t-shirts and hoodies.
3. Promote Your Merchandise
Promote your merchandise in your video intros, wear your t-shirts during vlogs, and add links in your social media bios using a bio generated by our Bio Generator.
