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 on
Examples: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.

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.

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.

Lol i tried to do some pics but from what i tried to imagine they'd look *BLEEP* on a coffee cup or on a T-Shirt Lmao u need to be a person that can draw in real life and i'm not one of them ( lack of imagination )

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

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!
