Make Money By Selling Your Own Designs

With some hard work and a lot of entrepreneurial spirit, you can start turning a profit by selling T-shirt Transfer sheet or open an online shop at cafepress.

How to make a design?

You will need large size Clip Art, Microsoft Word, T-shirt Transfers, White or a bright color cotton T-shirt, Iron, Scissors and about 15 sheets of regular papers acting as an ironing board.

Open Microsoft Word and set the Paper size to A4. Set each margins as between 15 mm and 10 mm (0.6″ and 0.4″) in order to print as widely as possible. Insert the clip art design and adjust the color for increased vividness using the More Contrast button of Picture Tool. If it becomes too vivid and some color is lost, adjust it using the Less Brightness button. Add text and change the character style, size and color.

Print the design on a T-shirt Transfer sheet. Choose High for Print Quality and T-shirt Transfer for Media Type. Reverse printing of the picture will be carried out automatically. Then cut off unnecessary portions. Cut out any text in one block for an easier transfer.

Using the 15 sheets of regular papers, transfer the printout with an iron to the T-shirt. Set the iron to maximum temperature. Apply heat to the design by ironing from the back side of the T-shirt Transfer sheet. After the transfer sheet adheres to the T-shirt, cover the transfer sheet with one sheet of regular paper before continuing to iron so that the T-shirt will not burn.

When finished ironing, peel off the base of T-shirt Transfer sheet. Your original T-shirt is done!

Here are some t-shirt design sites: teedesign, class-t-shirt.

How To Earn Money Online?

Where does the money come from?

1. Start blogging for money not readers. Loyal readership don't click on ads or adsense. So get traffic from the search engines as they don't really know where your content lies. First time visitors will click an ad or follow your adsense trail if they can't find what they want on your site.

2. Start selling your domain's name for money. You can command money for paid reviews and advertising if you are a well known blogger and has a large readership.

Where to blog for money?

1. The cheapest and fastest way is getting a free blog host. The problem is that the options are often very limited and most of them do not allow homemade scripts. And when they suspended your free host, you loose your valuable visitors. If you really want to use a free host, do buy your own domain name and parked it to the free host. Take note that free hosts are not for business purposes. Get free web host here.

2. Invest your money on a good web hosting and a good domain name. I would recommend that you get your domain name from Namecheap.com, the cheapest approved ICANN Domain Registrar. But before you purchase your domain name, do check for discount codes from this Coupon Codes site or here. For other registrars, you can find the codes here. Beware of registrars who do domain name tasting.

Where to host your domain?

There are two low cost web hostings that I would like to recommend. They are ComputingHost and Deasoft. The costs for a web host are vary depending upon what you are trying to accomplish. Before your purchase your web hosting, do get reviews from this forum and this site. Some good links about web hosting: Reseller vs. Shared Hosting, Shared or Dedicated?, GoDaddy Sucks, HostGator Tips, Scams.
