Becoming a successful shopkeeper with Cafepress.com

    Have you ever had a design for a t-shirt that you know would sell? then you need to sign up for cafepress.com. this is my favorite site. I have been a member for about a 2 years now and have already made over $500.00. what you do is take your design or image that you would like to place on a shirt, upload it to cafepress and the rest is done for you. you dont have to worry about inventory or anything else. You make money by putting your design on a t-shirt and marking up the base price. So say there is a t-shirt that cost $15.00 for the base price, you choose to mark it up $2.00, every time that design sells you get the the difference in which you marked up. it is completely free. the only thing you have to worry about is adding the designs. Since there are tons of items to put your design on (coffee mugs, hats, underwear,buttons,calenders ect.) you get to create a store for each design you have. After that the only thing left to do is wait. At first you my not be getting any sales at all, this is because nobody has come across your design. you just have to give it some time. Usually in about a month. The more designs you put, the better your chances someone will buy it. My sales usually kick up around major holidays such as christmas and thanksgiving. Once your account reaches the minumum of $25.00 a check will be sent out on the 15th of every month.
    Some tips on becoming a succesful shop keeper are designing designs that havent been done before. Or simply taking a top selling design and add your own spin to it. Thats what half of my designs are and i am pulling in checks every month. This month i currently have made 9 sales (plus some of last month sales), so i will be expecting another check for $28.00 soon. Out of all the sites i participate in, this has earned the most for me. All you have to do is sit and wait.

Swagbucks.com Review

     Swagbucks.com allows you to use there search engine and have the ability to earn swagbucks (there currency). They also utilize polls and simple one click surveys to earn more. Also, if your quick enough, you can punch in a promo code they send in there newsletter and get easy swagbucks. Now, you might be asking, what can i do with all these swagbucks?
     Swagbucks.com has something called a swag store in which you use your swagbucks to redeem prizes. From electronics to gift cards (paypal, Amazon and Ebay) they have a big selection. Since I am to anxious and can never wait to save up for a big prize i ended up spending mine on a paypal gift card( $5 ) for 600 swagbucks which took me about 5 days of just searching about 10 terms until I win (or don't, which rarely happens). Then I sign off and rinse n repeat twice a day. Repeated searching non stop doesn't yield as much as signing in twice a day and leaving which almost guarantees you win.
     Another perk i found out is they give you 60 swagbucks on your birthday so set your birthday on your account for the next day. Ill let you guys in on a little tool i use that will automatically search for you. You dont download anything as it is totally browser based. Just type in something like 500 (which is 5 minutes) in the first box and 600 in the second. This will tell it to search a random term every 5 to 6 minutes so you dont have to keep searching. Its called SpeedySwag. Just leave it up while your doing something on the computer and when your done close your browser it will stop searching. Ill provide my referral link (Banner) and a non-referral link below. If you do choose mine its much appreciated!
