Instructions
1. First, similarly to my last article on zazzle -cafepress offers a service that allows you to put your design on a product of your choosing and then handles the manufacturing and sale of said product.
2. Pick a design that you want to put on a product. If it's not already digital, do a high quality scan with a scanner and edit it tightly.
3. Now, you want your images to be as high of quality as you can. I recommend at least 100 dpi, but 300 dpi is ideal to avoid pixelation when increasing the size of the image on the product. Also, keep in mind the file formats you are using, .jpegs are effective -but for drawings .png's look much nicer for increased sizes.
I recommend taking measurements of the product you intend to place your design on, and get your file as close to that size before proceeding to assure a high quality printing of your design.
4. Now go to Cafepress.com and sign up for an account....(always thoroughly read the terms you are agreeing to before signing up for anything!)
5. Once you have your new cafe press account, click on the 'make your own stuff' tab at the top of the screen. At this point you should be prompted with two account options -I recommend starting with the free one at first, while it has heavy limitations (one product per product category) it's good to go the free route first to see if you like working with cafepress or not.
6. Now, choose your product....
7. Then, upload and add your design to it...
8. Once you have your product looking how you want it to look, proceed to create it. And start promoting your product everywhere that you can!!!! Promotion and good marketing is essential in selling your product!!!!
9. Don't get discouraged if it takes a while to sell any of your products!!!! Keep at it!!!! Don't give up!!!!
Thanks for reading!!!! Good luck!!!! Persevere!!!!
