Can CafePress save us from our day jobs?

July 15, 2008

CafePress

Cafepress.com has always circled around the edge of my mind like a pack of wolves, and I finally decided to take a look at what they’re all about.

Their About Us section gave the run down as follows:

“CafePress.com is an online marketplace that offers sellers complete e-commerce services to independently create and sell a wide variety of products, and offers buyers unique merchandise across virtually every topic. CafePress.com is a growing network of over 6.5 million members who have unleashed their creativity to transform their artwork and ideas into unique gifts and new revenue streams.”

So what exactly do people make and then sell through CafePress? The list includes t-shirts, books, cards, stationary, posters, framed prints, magnets, buttons, stickers and much more.

The website interface allows you to start a project, save it and come back to it later. There are literally millions of projects on the go at all time, and more than 45 million products available at this time.

The community section allows you to connect and learn with your fellow merchants about the best way of getting your stuff sold.

Beginners can start by going to the learning center for quick start tips.

I may tinker with some t-shirt designs and if you see this blog hasn’t updated in a while, you’ll know I’ve made a ton of cash and moved to Borra Borra.
