    Lots of good CafePress information here. The info and links will be very useful to both experienced sellers, and those just starting out with POD services.

    Great lens, lots of good ideas for promoting shops, thanks a bunch! I checked out your CafePress shop as well, good designs (I like the flag wear) and steel roses are awesome too, do you have a website for those?

    Hi John~
    I'm new to Squidoo, and still bumbling around. Your lens is extremely helpful to folks with Cafepress shops.
    Thanks for the opportunity to put our shop on your lens above also! A relative of mine many generations ago
    was a blacksmith as well.......you're unique!

    John Thank you for pointing us in the direction toward a good track on which to run the race... and for the experienced training advice. I'm still a colt, but look forward to working with my trainer and one day stepping on the track to "run for the roses". Cafepress has obviously been a good tool for you, so I look forward to learning how to use it and having it in my toolbox along with any other good tool I can find.

    Welcome new CafePress shop owners!

    I love CafePress, but I also realize that there is a lot of competition for attention and sales there. I don't think you should depend upon CafePress to do your promotion and marketing.

    Instead, it's up to you to promote your shops and the items in it.

    Create new lenses specifically targeted to a single design and write about the topic of the design and why you like it so much. Educate us on your viewpoint and you'll attract visitors who are interested in the same subject.

    Some of them may become customers.

    Blog about your designs. Enter them in contests. Make it easy for people to help you promote your designs.

    Be sure to enter your shop in the list, above, and then reload the page and vote for it! The more votes your shop gets, the higher it rises in the list.

    You can vote for other shops you like, too. Don't be stingy; spread the love.

    Act on your dream!

    I haven't doen any CafePress stuff...but I'm telling myself I need to experiment with it in 2009. Great lens.
  • OhMe Dec 17, 2008 @ 5:01 pm | delete
    I guess I need an attitude adjustment about Cafe Press and definitely need lessons from you. Your lens has encouraged me to try harder and to expand. Thanks.

    I just opened a shop after reading your lens. I'm very excited about it.

    Well, I am very interested, but don't know where to start, yes, I know, open an account...but can you use photos? I keep reading these things and I will get there. Thanks for the encouragement.
  • rogerme Aug 20, 2008 @ 4:04 pm | delete
    I think cafepress rules I get to put the designs I love up and share them with the world, it encourages me to use my imagination and allows me extra money to donate to my fave causes, please support us at one of our stores.
