Hey Guys

My site tracker has noticed a few people going into this blog :) Made my day anyway todays issues:
Today Wednesday 19th Jan.
My store has made no sales for the past few days; but i thought of it in a good way and decided to post about it becuase i realized something before i even upload a design i have to think of "Would i buy it?" & if i think its good "How could it be better?" i think it's some essential things to think of before you upload a design to a product;

Some Problems With Clothing I Have Seen
This is a biggie! You want and need people to see your inspiration in your artwork; it is okay to take time and put effort in it as once you get started it runs itself Most buyers spend 5-15 seconds on average looking at your shirt or merchandise you want to get them to Laugh or think of it as Cute; whatever your trying to make it; you need them to see it as you see it.

Some Do's And Don'ts  With Cafepress.

Do!
- You want to choose a theme you know and love with little competition; like for example if your theme is pets that are cute maybe go with a less known cute animal that people wouldn't have so many shirts already designed for; if you want to get your clothes seen and bought type some keywords into the searchbox about the design your going to make and see what comes up if only 1-5 pages are there Design it!
If there is more and you CAN DO BETTER THEN THEIRS go for it.

- Make something creative that most people want (Ask your family if they would buy it; or buy it for someone else)  but remember in some cases Less Is More.

- Seasonal Clothes Will Sell A Lot (Only in that season though!)

- Make shirts for big events like for example when Obama became president; if your still in school and your teacher's are having an event like a dance or something; ask them if they want designed shirts for it and ask them if they could possibly buy yours if you design it for that event.

- Make sure your quality of the image is good!.

DONT'S!!!!

- Do not think that becuase you sold a few shirts you don't need to make your inventory better! The most successive sellers update often!

- Don't give up! that's a big one imagine a year from now; or six months even (Some do it in a lot less time) receiving a cheque for $15,000 or more! ( Please note not every one will make that amount of money) And by that $15,000 i don't mean what you've made all up i mean for that month or two. 

-Do not upload copyrighted material.

- Do not copy someone's work! in the terms and conditions if you do that the original owner can get your address and pursue legal action; For a few dollars is it worth it??
