Earn with Cafepress


First of all let me explain exactly what Cafepress is and does. Basically, they provide blank canvases of many forms for you to design, upload and have printed on, your own logo or design. You can then set up your own free storefront from the Cafepress site and sell your product designs. You can, for instance, print your own design onto a mug or design your own brand name and have it spayed across the front of a shirt or baseball cap. And the best thing is, it doesn't cost you a penny up front since Cafepress uses a dropshipping system. I will be making a more detailed post based on dropshipping in the near future, but here is a quick explanation. Drop shipping is a way for you to sell goods without paying any upfront costs or storing inventory. When you use a dropshipping service, you choose the products from your supplier (In this case Cafepress.com) list them on your own site, page or blog or on the Cafepress storefront that you create, add a little extra onto the price, and when someone buys from you, Cafepress takes their cost of the product and anything you added will be your total profit. However, Cafepress does work slightly different from traditional dropshipping company's. With other dropshipping company's you would have to accept all payments yourself either through paypal or a merchant account You would then purchase the item from the dropshipper and they ship directly to your customer. Cafepress is much easier as it cuts out any need for handling and forwarding payments to them. If you have a creative mind and would like to take advantage of Cafepress' services, then go check it out!
