Want to sell tshirts... What affiliate should I choose?

    I would like to set up a little store to sell custom made tshirts I design. I don't want to have to deal with customers, shipping, and all that nonsense... What types of affiliates are out there that can do this? The only thing I have really found is cafepress... are there good alternatives?

    I want them to be able to handle payment, customers, shipping, and have a reasonable commision.

    If anyone can point me in the right direction that would be appreciated!
    Please also let me know what types of experiences you have had with them :)

    With a site like this I want to get the affiliate correct the first time ;)

    Selling Tshirts online.. hmm.. the idea is as old as internet & ecommerce, right? You really think you can stand apart on the crowd?

    No recommendation but try and get the shirts screen printed rather than a crappy iron-on/transfer.

    Cant hurt to have an extra revenue stream :) Most of my sites require me to update them very often, I want to create more sites that will stand on their own without being updated for months at a time. A tshirt store sounded like a good place to start :) Zazzle looked pretty cool, I will have to try it out. Maybe do some posters and junk too :p

    Not sure if I can stand out, but thats only half the tactic, getting at the top of the search engines should help :p

    Try offering "hip-hop" or "gangsta" style type of shirts too as many consumers nowadays opt to buy such items online as they come relatively affordable than retail stores. This will definitely help give you a boost if you market your product to the right audience and will help make you stand out more, also adds an EXTRA style you can offer on your store :)

    Thanks for the idea truongster :)

    I actually already have a domain, I bought it a long time ago and have not had time to get something on it yet. its fuckingshirts.com lol (its just sittin on sedo right now), I thought a good tagline would be "Hey, buy a fucking shirt!", but I admit I was a bit buzzed when I bought the domain haha.

    So I kinda want something along the line of tshirthell.com, their shirts are really... hardcore... lol - looking through zazzle I didnt see anything even close to R rated. Are there any good affiliates that allow harsh language and all that jazz?
