If you are looking for a new way to make money on your site you may want to consider selling t-shirts and other merchandise. Many people have made a good income selling t-shirts on their sites, including collegehumor.com, which pulls in $200,000 a month from t-shirts alone.
Of course you shouldn't expect to make that much money by designing a t-shirt, but it's clear that there is a big market for it. There are a lot of free sites that will print and ship your shirts so you won't have to do any work.
1. Cafepress is by far the most popular print-on-demand service online. They print shirts, books, bumper stickers, and more. The base price for a value t-shirt is 8.99. By marking the price up to 15.99, you can make a profit of $7 every time you sell a shirt. You can mark up a shirt to whatever price you want. Owning a basic shop is free but they put a limit on the number of designs you can have. They have an option to have a premium shop for $5 a month with no limit to what you can sell.
2. Spreadshirt is similar to cafepress except they specialize in t-shirts. Like cafepress they have a base price for each product which you can mark-up. A unique thing they offer is the ability to create your own designs right on their site. They also have a gallery of t-shirt designs that you can use on your own products in your shop, which is great for people like me who don't know much about graphic design.
3. Zazzle is a print-on-demand service that has some interesting merchandise you can sell, such as (real) postage stamps with your design, calendars, postcards, even aprons. They are community-based with message boards, journals, and more to help you spread the word about your merchandise. It's also 100% free with no premium membership. You receive 10% of everything you sell.
Selling custom t-shirts is the perfect way to make a little money and promote your site or business. Any promotional items usually make a good impression on potential customers, especially something useful like t-shirts or beer koozies!
