Cafepress A Store Owners Journey
Well
sales are down this month! ‘talk about perplexed!’ anyone who follows
my stores will know how much I promote any free way I can.
I can never be accused of not keeping up with this venture, and I have
kept
at it ever since. I see alot of discussions in forums, individuals
who are still struggling to make sales with there artwork and do not
seem to be getting anywhere, no matter how they try. Having read some
success stories with Cafepress, in the beginning I found I had to try
this for myself. So I signed up with Cafepress. After the first few
months and with my first 50 designs uploaded I started to sell. Well I
was delighted as you can imagine. 'no more encouragement needed' Even
some of the most successful people with Cafepress said ’Quote’ if you
sell 1 or 4 designs during your first year your doing extremely well.
This then was all the encouragement I needed and I actually went on to
sell a whole lot more with Cafepress that same year. My main focus was
originality trying to appeal to many different types of art lovers
topics and interests. I also felt I needed to help those guys in forums
who were finding it difficult and as much as it was purely for
beneficial reasons ‘money‘, it was also to see if Cafepress was a really
all what it was cracked up to be.
I felt if store owners could
follow my trail e.g my website & online stores, and see how much
work I am putting into this, as well as check out how many sales via
my website. We could bounce ideas of each other.

My
next plan is for all budding Cafepress hopefuls, who are just starting
out or maybe still deciding whether to join Cafepress, to give them
some good basic knowledge how much they could expect earn given how much
I myself have put into this and the amount of work it takes.
Well
folks here it is. The url above will let you follow my
Sales-As-They-Happen which I hope will give you a feel of what to expect
whatever you decide to put into this venture. Let me tell you! It sure
takes a hell of hard work. Some of my past jobs was being a Plasterer,
Painter & Concreter and believe me! Given the amount of knowledge
you have to equip yourself, which is by the way a never ending theme for
anyone in this game, its certainly isn't all about designing art. You
do start to question ‘Is This Just Another Scam Or Is It The Real Deal’
so for anyone out there who maybe thinking of signing up with Cafepress
or Zazzle. You can check out all my work online at the stores on this
website, as well as watch in real time my Sales-As-They-Happen page.
If Sales Pick Up Well Again You Can Watch In Real Time.
Zazzle
is another online POD who I have started to run with. I cannot comment
on Zazzle as of yet, as I have only recently joined up with them. But
will keep everyone informed of Zazzle sales at the url above.
I do hope Cafepress & Zazzle turn out to be what I favour them to be ‘LEGITIMATE’ You Need To Know A Few Things!
What
I Do Believe IS: It doesnot happen overnight! It takes time!, its all
about hard work patience and numbers, Lets Wait & See..
