Ways to Make Money on CafePress

There are two basic ways to make money on CafePress.

1. Sell products with your own designs on them.
2. Sell products with other people's designs.

The additional third way is to combine one and two and sell both your own and other people's designs.

If you chose one than you get to be a shopkeeper. If you chose two than you will be an affiliate.

As a shopkeeper you get to make your own designs, put them on various products and mark-up the basic price of each product. Once your product gets sold you keep the mark-up dollars.

As an affiliate, you promote CafePress and the products CafePress offers. If you get someone to go to CafePress and s/he buys something from the marketplace within 30 days than you get 20% of the base price. If s/he becomes a shop owner within those 30 days than you get 5% of the base price of every product s/he sells withing ONE YEAR from joining.

For a creative type of person it would be easier to make money as a shopkeeper. For a natural salesperson, business smart and good in marketing it would be perhaps a bit easier to be an affiliate. HOWEVER, there are no strict rules.
