Talking Re: You get only 10%?! Nah, that's old news...

I dont need to spend thousands on equipment. I dont need to buy and store any inventory. If a shirt gets ruined it's not my problem. I dont have to ship the shirt or package it for that matter. I dont have to worry about sales tax. I dont have to worry about my printer breaking or about the printer opperator not showing up for work. I dont have payroll taxes. I can go on vacation and still sell my goods. I dont need to rent space or give up part of my home for my business.
I don't have to collect money and pay PayPal or for a credit card transaction. I dont have to design a website or pay to have one designed. I dont have to pay for finance charges for my equipment.
If I sell a Tee for $20.00 my margin is $3.40 not too bad for the amount of work I do and the amount of work I don't do
Think I might buy a shirt from them to see their quality and maybe set up an account

If I am missing something please let me know
...don't forget the electricity to run your equipment, too!

And you can get more than 17%, that's actually a minimum for an affiliate - assuming that you actually drove in the sale of one of your designs, of course. Your royalty can be set higher than the default 10%, as I mention. You can also make 7% off of someone else's design as an affiliate (and they from yours, of course!)

I'd actually encourage you to buy a shirt that you've designed on their web site. That way you get to see how easy (or hard) it is to do the designing too - one point that I've heard lots of people complain about. And on which I disagree, by the way. I'm quite happy with Zazzle, all around...
