Best way to promote a t-shirt selling site?

I am going to be selling specific customized t-shirts related to a certain music niche but I am wondering how I should go about promoting this online store without spending tons and tons of money. Any tips would be appreciated.

Pinterest might work for you. I read a bit about this on the WarriorForum the other day. Someone was making a lot of money because his affiliate niche pins were being ranked very highly by Google.

His strategy was to create and build a natural pinboard with 80% non-affiliate (or in your case promotional links). The other 20% was for his affiliate links (or for your t shirts).

You might also find contests on Reddit or other social networks work well for you too,

You can do what Maytag and Under Armour had done to compete with the big dogs. Start by giving out free costume made t-shirts to your local school, community, or food drive. They'll wear it and converse about how they got free t-shirts. They'll tell their friends until it becomes a vicious fan club. After a year, you start charging a fortune for the shirts, and all of sudden it becomes a very profitable business. The only problem or impediment here is that it will cost a lot of money. It might become a bit overwhelming to cover both start-up costs and giving away freebies. Look at the bright side, it worked for Maytag, and Under Armour. There's definitely a chance that you might get lucky and it would end up leaning towards your favor. If you don't spend money there's no chance that you could make some which in terms is investing.

Was just about to say this - Pinterest is very craft-orientated so you could find some people interested in your work there.

Best way is clearly mouth to mouth as people who get the shirt show it off, some of their friends might want it too and the rest is history
Other ways is to get them popular on pinset and tumblr , get some frinds that look good to wear them take some nice photos of them and post them on those sites

You can also promote your store through social media.

Youtube is definitely an option. Try uploading videos of your design process. You can even take a video of your friends wearing your shirts.

Pinterest sounds like a great site. Another good site might be Tumblr. Any other social media sites similar to these I could try?

Instagram - anything visual.

I think best way to promote your t-shirt selling business is by having a popular Facebook page. If you have a Facebook page with loyal followers, you can make a lot of money.

Also try giving your shirts to people with a large following online to 'model'.
