Shop Owner Nektarinchen<\/em> is a Spreadshop veteran. The 31-year-old Austrian and her boyfriend Christoph run one of the most successful Spreadshops of all time<\/strong>. Their Shop “Gscheade Leibal<\/a>” (Austrian for decent label<\/em>) embraces the peculiarities of the Austrian dialect.<\/p>\n

How did you get into T-shirt design?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Nektarinchen: Hello! I\u2019ve known Spreadshirt for about 10 years now, and I became aware of it when I took part in a project for a promotion job here in Vienna.<\/p>\n

How so?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Nektarinchen: For the said job, I was tasked to create designs for the Spreadshirt Marketplace. These were then offered for sale on the Marketplace, and you would receive a T-shirt as a thank you. I soon had created five T-shirts and was happy with the service – until the news broke that you no longer got T-shirts but money.<\/p>\n

This was so demotivating, that I didn\u2019t touch the whole thing for a year and a half. By chance, I looked into it again and noticed that I had earned 30 Euros. This was such a motivation that I decided to give it another shot. Now, we have as many as three stores and 4,000 designs on the Marketplace, and I’m very glad I don\u2019t get a T-shirt for every sale anymore!<\/p>\n

So Spreadshirt turned from a hobby into a profession. When did you decide to do it full-time?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Nektarinchen: I made money on the side with Spreadshirt Marketplace sales for years. When I noticed that I could live on it, I quit my day job. Back then, I was also doing a lot of unpaid overtime for my old boss who didn\u2019t really seem to value my work. I would rather sit down and put all my time and motivation into my own future. Now, I\u2019ve been treating my work with Spreadshirt as a full-time job for 3 \u00bd years, and when it became more and more work, Christoph joined me. Now he is working full-time as well.<\/p>\n
