SELLING ON THE INTERNET

When I initially launched my website, I had grandiose hopes of making millions of dollars - haha. But three years later, my costs far exceed my income. Nevertheless, I won’t give up and maybe my latest idea will prove profitable.

Although I have attempted to sell t-shirts on my site through www.cafepress.com, not even one person has purchased any of the t-shirts that display the best of my contestant’s photos. But yesterday a new idea occurred to me. A friend of mine, an excellent graphic artist, might consider designing some really great t-shirts to sell on my site. It would give her an opportunity to make some money and I would simply ask her for a small percentage of her earnings. I also have another artist friend who paints, makes jewelry, and creates other artistic knick-knacks. Perhaps she would also like to sell her things on my website and again, I would only ask for a small percentage of her earnings.

Neither friend was home when I tried calling them to offer my business proposal. So I have no idea of how they will react. But it’s worth a try and maybe I’ll finally start making some money.
