My name is Jun, and I was born and raised in a small county in Guangxi Province, China. I am 43 years old and currently work at a local driving license examination center, earning a monthly salary of 3,500 CNY ($480 USD). I have four children: three sons and one daughter. My eldest, aged 19, is in his third year of high school; my second son, 17, is in his second year; my third child, 7, is in first grade; and my youngest, 5, attends kindergarten.
In the past, I took on a part-time job to supplement my income, which added roughly 2,500 CNY ($340 USD) to my monthly earnings. However, by late last year, I developed rheumatism in my knees and chronic back pain due to the physical demands of the job. In February 2025, I quit the part-time work but kept my full-time position at the examination center—it remains my lifeline. To manage financial strain, I relied on online loans, borrowing and repaying repeatedly, leaving me with debts exceeding 10,000 CNY($1373USD).
In March 2025, as AI-related news dominated headlines, I learned how rapidly artificial intelligence was advancing. I reached out to Deep Seek for guidance and explored various online income streams. Most options proved impractical given my limited free time: after work, I only had evenings from 8 PM to midnight available. After persistent inquiries, Deep Seek introduced me to a viable solution: building a T-shirt business using WordPress, WooCommerce, and Printful.
Why WordPress + WooCommerce + Printful?
- Low Startup Cost: Initial investment was just $40 for website hosting (via Hostinger), with the domain name provided free.
- Minimal Maintenance: While setup was challenging initially, ongoing efforts focus solely on T-shirt design.
- Time Efficiency: My evening hours are sufficient for client communication, design work, and marketing.
- No Operational Burden: Production, fulfillment, and shipping are handled by Printful, freeing me from logistics.
My goal is to create T-shirts infused with Chinese cultural elements—designs that resonate with global audiences. I sincerely hope you’ll support this venture. Your patronage will help fund my children’s education and improve our family’s quality of life. Thank you for believing in this dream:)
Meet my new command center for the Chinese-style T-shirt venture! May this computer fuel creativity, power through challenges, and help us ship greatness. Together, we’ve got this!
