    Hi guys, I kinda find out about great site "cafepress.com" you can sell clothes with your own graphics there...
    Anyways, I signed up for a free account and made a blog to promote sales: http://madgazelle.blogspot.com

    I have invested some time in that blog, and now I am starting to have doubts... Does my whole idea has even a future? Is it worth investing more time? What should I do to succeed? Is it even worth to have this kind of business?
    Luckily, I haven't invested any money yet. So I need your advice.

    Thanks guys.

    Cafepress take a HUGE cut out of your potential earnings. I friend of mine once got a few t-shirt sales and saw very little money out of it.

    Yes,your idea have potential.
    But if can,you should avoid use cafepress coz their product is too high.
    You should find alternative for cafepress.

    Consider 3 things 1 buy a domain name for your business much better then a free hosted blog

    2 make and sell the tshits yourself the machines that do this are not entierly to expensive and if you think you have a good product then you should have no problem making it

    3 hardwork and time should do the trick but only time will tell

    EVERY blog has potential in terms of business.

    It is just how you play the blog.

    Good luck.

    Thanks for replays. I have invested too much time in cafe press without researching possible cafe press competitors. Bad thing for me, but I think I will stick to cafe press, simply because I don't want my time to be spent for nothing...

    I will buy a new domain name. What else should I do besides traffic? Would placing ads for Google be a good idea?

    Thanks guys.
