Have you ever wanted to sell your design on t-shirts, jandles, aprons, tote bags or canvases, but not wanted to take the risk of printing a batch (in all different sizes and colours) first?
Take a look at http://www.cafepress.com.au/
CafePress lets you upload your design, ‘add’ it to a number of products, and list those products for sale, all without producing anything until someone actually buys one.
The upside is that this approach is very low risk – it lets you try out a lot of different ideas and see what works.
The downside is that you don’t make so much on the initial items.
And with any site like this, read the fine print carefully and make sure who has the copywrite at any given time.

You've got that sinking feeling. Someone had placed an order on your Shopify store for $500, and somehow the total had come down to $10. Your first thought: you've been hacked.
You haven't. What actually happened is simpler, and luckily easier to fix. You had a discount code sitting in your Shopify account called "FREE", or something equally easy to guess. Someone at checkout has just ... typed it in. And it worked.
Here's what it means and what to do.
This is a stellar example of what happens when you consistently show up and put your genuine self into your content.
Writers and journalists are always looking for authentic voices, and if you're publishing regularly, you're infinitely easier to find. Read how Chris did it.
