Create and Sell T-Shirts and Other Products

What You Need:
• A computer
• An Internet connection
• A digital camera or scanner
• Some artistic and creative ability

With a little creativity, you can raise some quick cash designing and selling products like T-shirts, shorts, caps, tote bags, buttons, bumper stickers and a whole lot more using CafePress.com.

The bonus in using CafePress is that you can upload your designs or photos to CafePress and create your products right on the website. Then you can set up a storefront and start selling–with absolutely no out-of-pocket expense. You don’t need a lot of experience or knowledge with website coding either. And you can setup a store in just a few minutes.

Here are a few ideas you could try:
• Turn the photos sitting on your hard drive into cool products.
• If you’re artistic, create unique designs.
• If you’re creative, place unusual or funny sayings on the products to go with the graphics/pictures.

If you’re looking for fast cash, create products around hot news stories, scandals, local events, etc. For example, you can create “Fourth of July” T-shirts for your city’s local celebration and sell them out of the trunk of your car at the county fair, or take a photo of the fair and create a theme based on this year’s fair.

Another great seller locally would be to take a photo of your town, or the entrance to your town, and create a town pride shirt. Order a few and go to local clothing shops to see if they would sell them on consignment.

Your school may need school spirit shirts. Take a photo of the school, or the football team at a game, add a few words designed to promote school spirit, and create shirts, coffee mugs, keychains, and more.

To make faster sales, donate a portion of all profits to the school. And be sure you tell customers you’re donating a percentage of the profits to the school so they’ll be more likely to buy. Then sell your items at local events around your city as well.

This idea can be adapted and applied to all kinds of events and organizations. Consider:
• Humane societies or animal shelters
• Women’s shelters (don’t take photos of this, but with their permission, use their logo or other approved graphic)
• Preservation or historical society
• Churches
• Family reunions, children’s birthday parties, etc.
• Other local groups

Many groups rely on fundraising efforts, and if there’s no up-front cost to them or a lot of selling, they may take a smaller portion of the proceeds and consider it a free fundraiser.

Be aware that with a CafePress free account, you’re limited to 80 items, but can open as many free shops as you like. So if you want to sell more designs and items with those designs on it, just open a shop for each organization. That way, you can also promote your online store’s website address on flyers you develop specifically for each organization or event.

You could also print and distribute flyers promoting your ability to create T-shirts, mugs, etc., for events and occasions. Post in high-traffic areas such as grocery stores, event venues, banks, etc. And advertise your service and store in the newspaper.

The possibilities for a business selling promotional products that you create on CafePress are almost limitless. Get creative, do a little brainstorming, and start creating personalized products today that you can sell at a great profit.
