etan 0 Report post Posted May 8, 2005 Me and my friend are running a game and he wants to make cash off of it. So I did some searching through some sites and found Cafepress. What Cafepress is its a shop like thing. What you do is you register for your account make some images then upload them. While uploading you choose what you want it onExamples:A shirt, mug, pillow, journal, button, magnets, and more.The way it works is according to the site: To make money all you do is raise the base price of the items and you keep how much you raised the price.The program dosnt sound bad and can make a lot of cash in my opinion. They also have an advanced shop for 6 bucks a month but Ive never seen any problem with the free ones. The link is Cafepress.Hope you make a lot of cash.

rattler108 0 Report post Posted May 12, 2005 Cafepress.com is a print on demand business where you can upload your artwork and you can select the items they will be printed on an sell them at a markup price. I talked to several people and it requires a lot of work to be able to sell stuff and get a decent paycheck every month. There are also several other sites similar to this one like printmojo.com, and zazzle.com where you can market your artwork and ideas. I read in the Wall Street Journal just recently that the t-shirt business is doing pretty good in the Internet and that there were sites like bustedtees.com that made around $200k a month. So if you are lucky you can get up to this level. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

indyhouse 0 Report post Posted May 14, 2005 Cafepress is awesome. My church uses them, and I've used them myself to make shirts I wanted... I've also sold many items and made money. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rustypaulin 0 Report post Posted May 15, 2005 cafepress looks like a good site for selling things but if you dont have a decent target audience that would want your good then there's no point becuase you wont really make any money and all you'd do is lose a bit of time that you spent opening the shop and making designes Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
boyCradle 0 Report post Posted May 22, 2005 if you got talents using Photoshop, why not try to open your own small t-shirt printing business?? why work and design for an online tshirt store, for a very small commission if you could sell your own designs for your own profit. start sellin t-shirts to your friends then let them pass the words around if they are satisfied with the designs. you can even do a shirt of personalized designs, and never used it again. so it would be a one-of-a-kind t-shirt print. spread the business using internet through email, Gmail, friendster, myspace, online fora, and your very own website. simple as that!

But this company looks like they pay. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sunkist 0 Report post Posted June 1, 2005 I have been involved with lots of affiliate companies that pay. I have not received any money from CafePress, but then again, Histology Greeting Cards are not an item that is in high demand. I have them mostly listed as a humorous novelity, I don't expect people to really buy them. But just the concept and the ability to send a histology greeting card exists.I have received affiliate checks from a group called LinkShare. They are a third party clearinghouse for affiliate marketing. Also from Amazon.com. They sell books. I have also seen some affiliate companies that look shady, and look like they won't pay. Some have a very high threshhold before issuing you a check.Sunkist Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
