Is anyone here familiar with the website Cafepress.com? If not, it's a website that you can create things like t-shirts and various clothing as well as mugs and cups. Like through the site, you can make stuff with images and/or words. Anyway, I've seen the site mentioned on several articles about work-from-home businesses. Specifically you can make stuff for people like with pictures they might want on a shirt or coffee mug. Like if a parent wanted a picture of his or her kid/children on their coffee mug, for example. I was wondering has anyone here has tried making shirts and stuff in this fashion for people? How much have you earned? I've been looking for some home business (however small it might end up being) ideas and I'd like to know how it's gone for anyone who has tried.

I haven't used it, but i've heard of it. It's an interesting plaace, but a lot of the stuff on there seems to be overpriced. Maybe it's just me, but unless I seen something I super suppper liked, I wouldn't purchase anything on that site. I was planning on trying it sometime down the rooad so if I get to it then, I shall let you know how it went if you still haven't gotten to it yet. Generally though, with those kind of sites you have to do a lot of the promotion I imagine. Soo, really. It would all depend if you're good at promoting your product/as well as if your product is even worth buying. Sooo, I guess the question you could ask yourself is.. do you consider yourself a salesperson, and i'm not talking in the same sense as in person. The internet is a whole new realm.(for most professionals though I imagine it's easier to sell online then in person because of a potentially infinite client-base if you consider how many people use the internet on a daily basis.) I'm working on putting together a blog if you might be interested? It will basically be about all the different online money-making opprotunities that I know of, and I know of a looot. If so, just send a friend request my way and follow it up with a PM afterwards to let me know that you are!
