Sell Your Designs on T-Shirts, Stickers, More
I started out with a free basic shop and have made money ever since. Being so impressed, I made this page to share with others and earn even more with their referral program. I believe the Bodhisattva Principle applies.
You don't have to be a rocket scientist to make your dreams of designing and selling your own products online come true. Just a computer, an internet connection, a Cafepress account and some type of design software.
Overview
When you open a Cafepress account, you'll have...
*The ability to create and sell over 80 different products including apparel, books, music, CDs and more, produced by CafePress.com
*Reliable online shopping hosted on their servers
*Secure checkout and credit card payment processing
*Domestic and international shipping of your unique products
*Phone and Email Shopkeeper Support
*Phone and Email Customer Service Support
*List products in the CafePress Marketplace for greater visibility
*Promotional Tools to help drive more traffic to your shop
All of your products are made-to-order using their print-on-demand technology. That's right! Each time Cafepress receives an order from your online shop, their production facility jumps into action to produce and ship your high-quality finished product.
Satisfaction Guaranteed! All products come with a 30-day money back guarantee that ensures your customers have a great shopping experience.
How Do I Make Money?
That's the most important question, right?
Some Cafepress shopkeepers earn over $100,000 a year. Thousands of members earn a steady stream of income through their CafePress Shop.HOW IT WORKS:
Each Cafepress product has a Base Price that includes fees associated with selling. You simply set your retail price above the Base Price. When you sell an item, Cafepress keeps the base price and YOU get the markup.
For example:
* A value T-Shirt has a base price of $8.99
* You decide to markup the price to $13.99
* When you sell one shirt, you generate earnings of $5.00
* Cafepress sends you a commission check for your total markups once per month!
Cafepress Basic Shops
Always Free
BASIC SHOPS are the simple and easy way to start selling with CafePress. And the best part? It's Free.
*FREE personal page on CafePress.com with your own URL.
*Sell one of each product type per shop - (one white t-shirt per shop, etc).
*Customize your shop by uploading your logo and providing a shop description.
*Mailing list features help you keep in touch with your customers.
*Promote your products in the CafePress.com Shopping Section.
*Open as many shops as you wish for FREE.
Here's an example of a Basic Cafepress Shop
Cafepress Premium Shops
All for less than what you spend on lunch.
CAFEPRESS PREMIUM SHOPS are for those shopkeepers serious about making money. You'll have the ability to create a custom shopping experience with unlimited selection of products and multi-level pages.
*Customize your shop or choose from their pre-made shop designs.
*Increase the product choices available by offering unlimited designs and products.
*Organize your designs and products into categories/subcategories.
*Create custom layouts to showcase your newest design, or most popular items.

$6.95 per month

How will people find my products?
To be honest, very easily. There are lots of ways people will find your products.1. You will have your own online shop.
For example: http://www.cafepress.com/ShopID
When you open your shop, you will choose a Shop ID that will become part of your shop's URL (see above).
With your own URL you can:
*Promote your shop on your web site
*Email your shop link/URL to friends and family
*Buy ads on Google and other search engines
2. The CafePress.com Marketplace
Shoppers will be able to purchase all eligible products in your shop directly from the CafePress Marketplace, which is visited by millions of people each month. Please note that CafePress reserves the right to determine which products are available in the Marketplace at its sole discretion.
3. The Big Ol' Internet
You found this page didn't you? That proves it no matter how big the internet might seem, your designs and products can be found. With a little time and research.

- This is great information. I'm seeing more and more lensmasters share their designs this way. I will probably do the same for my winery series lenses, since I can't find the merchandise I'm looking to promote. I'm lensrolling this to my SquidZipper money-making lenses.
