SELLING YOUR PRODUCTS.....Part 2

Sorry about such a quick end to my post yesterday.  Work was calling.  I can not wait until I can do screen printing full-time!  :)

Here are some online avenues to sell your OWN designs.

ETSY.COM
This is a venue to sell handmade items.  It is FREE to register.  It costs .20 cents to list your item for four months.  When it sells you pay a 3.5% transaction fee.  My personal favorite!!

ARTFIRE.COM
This is a venue to sell handmade items.  It costs $9.95 a month which includes unlimited FREE listings, zero sales commission plus more.  And there is NO contract.

ZAZZLE.COM
Here is a quick and FREE way to set up your own online store.  You can create your own designs, they will print it on a variety of items for you and ship to customers when item is purchased.  You can set up the commission percentage you want to earn.  There is a base price per item and the percentage you want to earn is tacked on to that base price.

CAFEPRESS.COM
Very similar to Zazzle.com.  Basic shop is FREE and a premium shop will cost you $4.99 per month.  You create, they print and ship and you earn a commission.

EBAY.COM
We can not forget to mention ebay.  Seems like it has been around forever.  You do all the printing and then ship out to customer when purchased.  It costs you to list your item and you pay a commission on the final sales price.  An ebay store is also an option.  Last time I checked, a basic store costs $15 a month.

These are some great options to do a test run for your t-shirt line.  Once you know which designs are popular you can start working on your own website.

I hope this information is helpful.  Thanks for visiting my blog and leaving comments.  I appreciate your support.
