Do you have a CafePress store?

Just curious, does anyone have their own shop on this website? Do you design stuff for yourself or to sell publicly? Do you actually earn any money from it? I think this is a great idea in theory, but it looks like there is a lot of competition.

That is my question exactly! I really want to know. It seems like it would be good if you have a big website or something, but I wonder if it is actually worth it for bloggers like myself.

Actually, I do make money off CafePress. I've been with CP for over a year now. I have 5 stores - all premium, and all pay for themselves monthly. I add stores every few months... Most are niche stores of areas that I'm interested in, one is a very general sort of store. I make a decent amount... For instance, I got a paycheck over $600 for the month of December. Most months, I've gotten about $200 (some months more, $300 was my highest month not including December), but it rises each month. I enjoy it, and I am working towards making CafePress my full-time job, because I have health issues that prevent me from working an outside job. You can make money off it! I do. You do need to put some work into it. Also, I come at this from a web/graphic designer standpoint, so I know exactly what it takes to make graphics that will print well. You'll want to read up on that, for sure, if you don't know much about graphics and print. I made a post about CafePress with my tips, if you'd like to see it: http://www.mylot.com/w/discussions/834137.aspx
