One easy way to make money with your photographs, slogans, or designs is to open a FREE store at Cafe Press. Your design can be printed on bumper stickers, coffee mugs, calendars, posters, t-shirts, teddy bears, and lots more. They handle all the sales, printing, and shipping. You decide how much of a percentage to mark up the price from their cost. There is no cost to you for a store with 1 image per item, or you can get a premier store for $5/mo that lets customers choose from different pictures on the same items. No need, since you can open as many FREE stores as you want, one for each design.

The real kicker is CafePress pays you 5% commission from the stores of people who sign up through your store so even if your products don’t sell maybe theirs will make you money. (Bummer, 3 weeks after I wrote that CafePress discontinued the referral program, as of March 12, 2009). Still a good place to sell your works with no expense involved. As an example I point to one of my website students who has put her artwork for sale on her website and also available on mugs, t-shirts and more at CafePress. Visit Amy’s site and see what she’s up to, I just showed her how to get started, she does it all herself – well, maybe her teenage son helps a bit.
I would say if she can do it anyone can, but Amy is smart and doesn’t give up easy.
I have 2 3 free stores currently running on auto-pilot after a few hours of designing these slogans.
