SITE HOUSEKEEPING
I'm pretty well caught up on my e-mail now, but I have this creepy feeling I may have overlooked something.
If you've qualified for inclusion on my Wanton Link Whoring or Groupies blogrolls and haven't been included yet, please e-mail me at harvolson-at-gmail.com and I'll hook you up.
Also, I have the code for an Amazon tip jar, but I don't want to put it in the sidebar yet because I had an idea for a contribution incentive that'll take a few days to prepare. [/tease]
By the way, does anyone have any serious moral, ethical, or business qualms about using Amazon?
I'm also looking into a Paypal tipjar, but I need to do some more research first. I have a joint Paypal account with TNT, but I'd rather have the tipjar separate. I still have to find out how to do that, or even if it can be done. Do they allow multiple accounts?
Any advice, as always, is appreciated.
UPDATE: Barb of Righty in a Lefty State reminded me of something else I should ask about:
Any advice on selling items using Cafe Press?
Also, is it better to start with a few designs and bootstrap your way up, or go for a bunch at the start?

wrt Paypal, you can have multiple accounts, as long as each one has a unique checking account number associated with it.

John over at Castle Argghhh! may have some ideas for you. I just bought a mug from him and it was via cafe press.

As far as Cafepress.com goes, I have had some experience with those. If you want to have several different logos on gear to sell it will cost some extra $$ to have what they call a 'premium' shop wherein you have an unlimited number of designs for an unilimited type/number of items. For free, you can have the standard style of store but you have their logo all over it, and moreover, you can only have either 1 design for each piece of gear that they sell (or that you care to have your logo on) or else several designs/logos but once a design appears say on a golf cap, that's it for the golf caps, you can't have another, seperate design on the same type of golf cap, available to sell in your store.
Two stores I have set up before:
http://www.cafepress.com/splitcitygear
(standard-style store)
and
http://www.cafepress.com/052600
(premium-style store--notice it has a different template, we're working on getting it customized)

I forgot to mention. The cost of the service doesn't kick in (for standard anyway) until you sell something. They shave the % off the sale of each item. Also, when you are setting up items for your store, you set the profit from the base price, the beauty of that being if you want to buy up a gross # of items (say for handing out at an event, etc.) the items you create you can buy at base price.

What about "The ladies of bad example calander?"? Hey what about TNT merchandise, as I suggested before?
