3 Benefits of Cafepress, Zazzle, and LuLu Stores You Didn’t Think of… Plus My 3 Days of Wanting to Vomit

3 Benefits of Cafepress, Zazzle, and LuLu Stores You Didn’t Think of… Plus My 3 Days of Wanting to Vomit

Cafepress is awesome. Zazzle is amazing. And LuLu is downright sweet. Most of these "print-on-demand" services offer an amazing opportunity for people like us.

In fact, I sort of stumbled upon Cafepress when I was looking for a gift for someone. When I saw that Cafepress let people upload graphics to t-shirts, I thought, "Hey… I helped pay for a good part of college with t-shirts back in the day… why not do some of that stuff again?"

So, I did. I posted a couple designs (even though I’m not even an artist), I told a few people about my "store", and BAM! I started getting sales. Not only that…

So, I thought, holy crap! I’m loaded with ideas, I could do this over and over again. And Whoa! What if I actually made an effort to drive a lot of traffic to my "stores"?!

Well, I did. I drove traffic to them and to make a long story short, I started getting sizable chunks of money each month…

Cafepress, Zazzle, LuLu, and other print-on-demand services do all of that stuff for you. (Now, sure, you could make more money if you did all of that stuff in-house, but you could also lose a lot more money that way.) Imagine how sweet it’ll be when you start getting "bonus" checks every couple of months for "work" you did months and months ago.

You get the idea… what I’m trying to say is that these services (Cafepress, Zazzle, LuLu and others) are awesome.

Well, I didn’t use anyone’s name… I didn’t break any laws… and I didn’t even violate any of the Cafepress Terms…
