Make that Cafepress Module Shine!

 

Most squidoo users add a money making module to each lens. Some lensmasters like to add several modules to make money. You may like the eBay module, or the Amazon module, but my favorite module to use is the cafepress module! Why? Because I also have 3 stores at cafepress.com, and I want to sell my own products first!
This lens is going to help you maximize the cafepress module and help you sell your products to more people!
So, go ahead and get your cafepress stores loaded up in another browser window and lets start adding your products and sell those t-shirts and mousepads!!

What is Cafepress? 

If you havent heard of cafepress yet, let me explain a little about them.

Cafepress is a fulfillment service. They offer blank t-shirts and many gift type items for designers to place their designs on and sell in online stores that are provided by Cafepress for free or for a premium price.
Cafepress has a very impressive list of products. Including a wide variety of styles of t-shirts for men, women, girls, boys, and infants. They even have shirts for your dog!
Their home and office gifts are outstanding, like a very high quality keepsake box, a journal, wall clock, and calendars to name a few items.
Cafepress is where the sales can be made. Plus they offer an affiliate program to maximize your sales potential!

So you have your basic lens created and want to add a cafepress module! 

Lets get started with that shall we!

First thing we need to do is go to our module list!
Click on the Add Modules link at the top left of your workshop page. Now chose the option for sell items and you will see the cafepress module. Click on add module and then click save!
Now that you have the cafepress module loaded into your squidoo page, lets make that baby sell some products!!!

Title = Keywords Add some specific keywords to the title! 

The title of the cafepress module is a great spot to add some design specific keywords! If you are selling Specific dog breed gifts, then use those keywords!
Also add some extra keywords in the sub title as those get some extra weight in search engines!

Pick the products yourself, or let cafepress pick them? 

I think pick the products yourself will yield the best results!

Go to the cafepress marketplace and insert your top keyword. The results you get on the first pages are the top selling designs! Or if you own your own cafepress stores, then you will already know which designs you want to feature!

How Many Cafepress Stores do you have? 

It is alot easier to drive targeted traffic to niche specific stores. So many of us Cafepress shop owners have several stores. How many do you own and operate? Me? I operate 3 stores at cafepress!

Cool lens, I've just started making lenses to promote my cafepress shops, but it's a great fun way to do it! Good luck with yours.
