2. The second website is CafePress
   
   Cafepress is one of the most popular design your own stuff websites. They hold strong advantage with the search engines. In theory This will allow your creations to rank higher when they are searched for.They allow you to open a free store as well.
   
   
3. The third website is Zazzle
   
   Zazzle is the website that I have had the most success with. I tend to create funny and funky shirts, and it seems that they are big sellers on Zazzle. You have the option to open many free storefronts at Zazzle. This is so that each store has a custom theme for your created apparel.
   

Each website has its advantages and disadvantages. I reccomend trying out all three.

In order to succeed with an online design store, other people must want to buy your designs. This means that you must cater to the masses, while still offering something different to other designs out there.

The best strategy for succeeding is to find what you know best and use it. What is it that you love to do that you find yourself explaining to other people? Whatever it is, there are multiple ways to use it to make money.

In my case I like football. So I design items around a subject that I know a decent amount about.The designs consist of:

1. NCAA Football (Mascots, School Fight Songs, Team Colors with Funny Sayings)
2. Funny football sayings
3. Nostalgic football
4. Famous NFL Quotes

And those categories are just a few of the subcategories that I have. Any subject that you are interested in will have an enormous amount of material for you to use. Just brainstorm and do not be afraid to fail. It might take some time before you start making good money at it, but if you focus on it, there is no doubt that you will make money. Good Luck and let me know if I can be of any assistance.
