Added more images

In keeping with my wanting to make more money I added more pictures to my T-Shirt site. These however were not created by me. These were created by my Daughter. They are very cute and deserve to be shown off. I have named them as follows (click the links to see them): Butterfly, Big sister, Kids ART, Little Brother and Jelly Fish and net. Who knows, depending on what she does with her life these may actually become valuable.

Next I will try to locate my sons ARTWORK and do the same with his. I remember one that was very abstract and may be a lot of fun on a mousepad or t-shirt.

Oh yeah, and by the way. I sold an other Cheeky face t-Shirt today. I and my Cheeky face are MONEY MAGNETS.

Cheeky face 3D Animations

In my last post I spoke about my "Cheeky Face" creation and how I want it to evolve. My last thoughts on this are to actually create a 3D animation. But the real question is what would Cheeky do? I was thinking he could fight with the other Happy Faces in the media like the one from Wal Mart as well as other commercial figures like the Pillsbury doughboy or the talking Gecko.

The issue with this is that I would have to learn a new 3D creation application because the one I know is too limited as to what It can do and would make for a crude animation at best.

Must think about it some more…………….

Creating some Passive income

A year ago last month I signed up and opened my own online t-shirt shop and only recently have I made any money off of it. Now it’s not a lot of money but it got me thinking about what I could do to improve the sales. I Figure the sales came from one of my creations called “Cheeky Face” . This is to date my favorite happy face creation. I also placed this happy face in different contexts to expand or increase its appeal to more people and I believe this to be the reason of these sales. Now what else can I do to unlock the potential behind the “Cheeky Face” and myself for that matter? So far I have placed links on other web sites, reactivated my adwords account so the links show up in Google searches and placed free ads on kijiji.ca as well as on local free classifieds.

Here is a little explanation for you. I call it a t-shirt shop because people understand the premise of it without much explaining and I hate explaining the same thing over and over again. In this shop you can upload images that you created and place them on T-Shirts, Mugs, Mouse pads, Calendars, Clocks and much more merchandise. Then once your images are set up on the products you have chosen you set your profit margin or rates. I usually go for 20% but you must be careful as the host site (cafepress.com) will take an additional 5% if the profit margin goes over $15.

Now there are two ways to make $$ on this site. Well actually 3 ways. One is to simply sell your products. The second is to refer others to open up a shop using your user ID and in doing so you get commissions off of any sales they make. The third is from affiliate sales. This is when people initially come from your shop and buys from another shop.

If all this sounds easy that is because it really is and if you want to give it a try I can guide you through it. Simply ask. After all, If I help you make some $$ that means I make some too.

Well that's it for now
