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.
