Cafepress - Introduction

l first heard about Cafepress from a friend. l work in I.T. and decided l would try something different to suppliment my income. Now l had my doubts about how succesful l would be. To make thinks worse l reside in Australia and CP is an American based company. Anyway l decided to set myself up a create a free shop. After providing them with some standard personal information l opened up several free shops and put up a few designs.

About the designs l am no graphic designer so it took me a week or so of playing around with a graphic design tool come up with some design l thought may catch the eye of a potential buyer.

My odds of making a sale were quiet slim considering you are competing against 6.5 million other people with skills ranging from professional to amature. Low and behold l made a sale!
It just goes to show how big the internet really is...... to be contined....
