Day 3: CafePress

What's in the Video?

• I show you how to sign up for an account on CafePress
• I show you how to upload your designs

What is CafePress?
CafePress is a website where you can upload your designs as images and put them on different products like t-shirts, clothing, iPhone cases, and mugs. You can order your own shirts or you can allow other people to buy them and you get part of the money for each product you sell.

Extras
Since I generally record these videos the day I sign up for them, I generally don't know everything about the website when I record. Here are some things that aren't shown in the video but things that I think you'll find very helpful.

• You can actually create your own shop instead of just putting your stuff on the main page. I think this is a necessity if your trying to make some real money on this site. I'd say this is a really easy way to get into the business of selling t-shirts and other items. 
• The shops look quite professional as you can see in this picture I got from their website.
• You won't have to deal with most of the work usually associated with this type of business
• You don't have to worry with making the shirts or shipping
• You don't have to worry with customer service.
• Sadly, it turns out that they ended their referral program in 2009. This was especially shocking to me because most revenue sharing websites do have some kind referral reward system. 
• I was actually thinking of leaving CafePress for reasons which will be documented in another post.
