Default Re: My first 4 months now with CafePress... my thoughts so far

That is for all 5 stores combined, but Dancethoughts is about 80% of that. Here are links to my other stores - I can't remember which other one is in my signature here:

Anyway, I ended up at $960 in total profit for May! Now I know $1k is a realistic goal, and I will of course set my sights even higher. I have been making t shirts for a long time, and this is BY FAR the easiest way to make a profit. I spend a few hours a week adding designs and tweaking the look of the sections and storefronts, and just check my email for sales. Take the check to the bank once a month. That's it.

It is a TON of work, and a HUGE learing curve to get started. But if you stick it out and keep reading, learning, and trying new stuff, it gets a whole lot easier.

And I get to spend all of my energy designing, which is the fun part for me. With 5 diverse stores like I have, you can see how my thoughts are all over the map. I can usually find inspiration to think of something new for at least one of the stores whenever I have time.

Now I am expanding, and starting with affiliate sites and more complicated stuff. This is the most fun i have had online in a long time, and I can really see how you could make a living doing this.
