Market your designs and let CafePress handle the rest

 

CafePress is a great way to sell your designs, music, books, and other original creations.

You provide the content and CafePress handles the production and sales.

For example, in my John Dilbeck's Shirts, Mugs, and Hats store, I have a lot of mostly text designs that are sold on, well, shirts, mugs, hats, and other items.

I create the designs, upload them to CafePress, add products that will have the designs printed on, set my prices, and do the marketing and promotion.

CafePress maintains all the computers, warehouses, production facilities, and other things that are needed to take orders, produce the products, ship them, and handle all customer service.

Then, when my commissions have cleared, they send me checks to deposit.

I'm earning from work I did two or three years ago. How cool is that?

You can, too.

Open your store at CafePress for free.

You need to remember that opening a store and uploading some designs will not earn you any money. You have to do the marketing and promotion to get people to your store so they will purchase.

The more items you sell, the more checks you'll deposit. It's just that simple.

Act on your dream!

CafePress was my first online gallery. I am very happy with everything and primarily the customer care, and the consistent shop keeper updates & support. The gallery is automated, easy to manage, and the tech keeps getting better.

I have had a premium shop at CafePress for a few years - John Dilbeck's Shirts, Mugs, and Hats - and it started as a way to promote my blacksmithing business.

Over the years, I've added an eclectic mix of designs to the shop and I love getting those commission checks.

CafePress makes it easy. I just create the design, upload it, put it on some products, and market the store.

CafePress handles everything else, including printing, shipping, customer service, returns (not many), and every things else.

CafePress has always provided first class service and they pay on time.

If my designs don't suit you, there are hundreds of thousands of other designs from which you can choose. Every one was created by someone like me - or you - and CafePress has brought all of us together.

Thanks, CafePress!

Act on your dream,

JD

CafePress sucks. Are you kidding me? I haven't sold anything there!
