Branded items, clothing Cafepress

I wanted to start branding my site even though it has just started i was thinking of running a Cafepress shop along side my affiliate products. My niche is very brandable in clothing and should sell well. I was thinking is Cafepress a good choice i know they have a base price and that they give you a shop which is good. Or should i buy my own stock and get them printed on and sell those via hand online?

If you think cafepress is a bad choice please let me know and if you had bad experiences with them i would sure like to hear, good ones also.

 

I've orered 5 things in total with them, and think it's pretty good.

 

Cool thanks man for the help. Has anyone used cafepress as a webmaster to create an income

 

the only caveat I'd have with cafepress is that their postage prices are high if you (and/or most of your customers) are outside the US, in which case there are European alternatives, and probably some in other parts of the world, that might be worth looking at.

 

Well most majority of my customers is going to be us/uk i would say 50/50 actually.

 

Should i sell them myself or should i use a selling company. I.E Learn how to make them and buy bulk amount of t-shirts

 

I have a cafepress shop.

The profit margin is not all that great. You would need to sell a huge amount of shirts in order to turn a significant profit.

If your product is unique, well designed, and you get it in front of lots of eyes then you may be able to make some money using cafepress.

But i wouldn't quit the day job just yet.
