Anyone here besides me sell/design t-shirts online?

[tortus32]

Another fun way to make $$ online is designing and selling items such as t-shirts.

I use a few different online services to design and sell t-shirts and such online.

A friend of mine who is more into this business than me has started a new forum for t-shirt sellers.

If interested, check it out Here (http://www.t-shirtforums.com/index.php?referrerid=24)

Enjoy,

I use to do it but I got to lazy to follow through with the shiping and stocking the shirts

I would love it if I just could throw up a link and just take a cut of the sales

[tortus32]

That's how most of the online services work. No need to stock anything. All you do is upload your art/text for the shirts and they take care of everything else, shipping, cc charging, returns..etc.

A good one is Cafepress (http://www.cafepress.com/cp/info/storeref.aspx?refby=theturtlebox)

I had a small online Napoleon Dynamite t-shirt and merchandise selling business, that I've long since passed onto my partner.

It's one of the bigger places to purchase a "Vote for Pedro" t-shirt now, and he's making a killing off little fan kids.

I think it's great how there are more and more online fullfilment services that do everything for you. Many of them don't even require any money up front at all.

Here's a few that I use:

Zazzle (https://www.zazzle.com)
Print Mojo (http://www.printmojo.com)
99 Dogs (http://www.99dogs.com)
Art Apart (http://artapart.com/t-shirts-store.asp)
Spread Shirt (http://www.spreadshirt.com/shop.php?sid=1891)
Cafe Press (http://www.cafepress.com/cp/info/storeref.aspx?refby=theturtlebox)

My first Cafepress shop (theturtleboxstore.com) only makes about $300 a month or so. My largest check from them was $900 and change, that was from this past holiday season.

I started that shop after I started my box turtle site (billsboxturtles.com - I raise and rehab box turtles). I noticed turtles were hard to find on shirts and such, and I had really good traffic at my box turtle site, so when I stumbled accross Cafepress, it just seemed like a good idea.

The trick with Cafepress is just to get a targetted audience.

Oh, lots of memories selling tshirts. Before I was in porn, I used to import US sport tshirts in France, made lots of dough with it too

Actually, most french people still love clothing stuff from the US. It was around 1995 and they absolutely couldn't do without the latest Bulls, Hornets and Hoyas caps and tshirts.

What about now? You think I could make some decent money selling shirts stamped with a big red "PROUDLY Made in the USA!"

Bill, have you sampled the product from any of these guys?

When Cafe Press initially got popular, I heard their products were crap. Rumor has it they've improved since then.

[tortus32]

Yes, I've been using Cafepress for years now, and they have improved by leaps and bounds. Especially in quality control. There used to be allot of printing goof ups that resulted in a crapload of returns, but that's all fixed now.

I've sampled stuff from Zazzle, Spreadshirt and Print Mojo
All of them are great. Print Mojo even has embroidery service, but their system requires you to pay upfront for stock.

Zazzle does work for allot of famous companies like Disney and Coke and a few others.

Glad to hear that about Cafe Press - I've been watching the online shops off and on for a few years and have yet to see anyone surpass what they appear to offer in terms of service and variety. A quick browse of the stores suggests they're not terribly itchy about adult-type merchandise. Yay. ;)

Print Mojo looks awesome, but I'm not sure enough of my potential market to lay out any initial cash. I'm thinking more in terms of logo branding than actually making money off product, at least for what I currently have in mind.

Zazzle looks okay too, but I have a sneaking suspicion they're not terribly adult friendly. The other site that got my attention - Spreadshirt - evidently only pays via PayPal, so that pretty much knocks adult sites out of the equation.

Thanks Bill, I've been looking for this kind of info for a while, and you've saved me a lot of footwork!
