Questions about Cafepress.com, and selling custom t-shirts online in general?

Question

I'm 15 and a very experienced graphic designer, and I'm looking to make some extra cash. I was considering opening up an online shop at CafePress.com, since it gets a lot of traffic compared to most other sites. The only problem is that it's a bit pricey for the customer. Most t-shirts there sell for about $25-$30. If the t-shirt was well made and unique, would people over look an unattractive price? Would it be worth it to find a less popular site with a better bargain for the customers? Also, just how much money could someone make on that site if their t-shirts were store-quality?

Answer 1

YOU are asking about 6, very logical questions.

I suggest a different tack; find some kids

who are good fashion designers in your area.  

Get together with them and

create your own "CafePress" or other

site.  I will be willing to guide you for

3 hours free.

Remember, all web sites are 100% code

and thus can be put up inexpensively.

Marketing one's goods takes the time.

Start out by seeking bare t shirt makers.
