selling t-shirts

In the past I have designed t-shirts and tried selling and promoting them but didn't have much luck. I sold two for $20 and sent a few to some famous people like Montel Williams and Tony Danza. I put alot of work into them and everything is completely freehand. What are some good ways to get my work seen and bought. I know I will need a website but are their any ways to make a website for free or at a low cost. I need some suggestions?

I responded to your other discussion on how to make more money. Cafepress.com is a very good way to make money, but as I said there you need digital medium. Another option would be to open an Etsy.com shop. Etsy is a location for artisans, artists, crafters, and such. You can list an item for 20 cents and they take 3.5% of the sale price. There are no, "open a shop fees" or "monthly dues" though. So, for 20 cents you have four months to see if you can get an item to sell. Neither of these ideas works well without a marketing plan of some sort....but both have possibilities and may be opportunities.

Wow how creative sending them to famous people. Smart girl! Are the materials expensive? I'd love to see a sample! If you get a CafePress let me know. Have you done a serach for "free website" Also Ebay is good as well. Good luck! I know you will do well I have a good feeling about it:)

Hello dear mollyrose. I am happy to know that you are a fashion designer for garments. It is nice to know that you have sold two t-shirts for 20 dollars and sent a few to some famous people. I hope that they will help to promote your great design to the t-shirts to help make more dollars. Good luck to you, my dear friend, though I have no idea about any websites for this. Thanks for your discussion, my dear friend.

Try cafepress.com Sound like exactly what you need. I'm not going to explain it, you can just check out the site. I've put stuff up and bought it myself, and it's good quality. Sound like exactly what you need though...
