Sell Your Public Domain Prints on Café Press

Out of copyright prints are in high demand especially if mounted ready to frame.  Some subjects are more popular than others, notably dogs and cats, sporting subjects especially golf and cricket, topographical (named place) subjects. 

I’ve seen really high prices paid for well illustrated items on eBay and also on some outside web sites. 

But there’s something I discovered just recently  that’s even more amazing than selling  your prints on eBay and it’s somewhere you can have hundreds of different products created for you from your original or reprinted illustrations.   It’s called Café Press.  You start by uploading your illustrations to your own free shop at cafepress.com and have the company create hundreds of different items for you to sell and for other Café Press members to sell on commission. 

It’s the closest thing to the perfect dropshipping model you are ever likely to find and it lets you list hundreds or thousands of Café Press items on your own site, on eBay if you like, and have the company deliver on dropship directly to your customers.  Go take a look, you’ll see what I mean.

*  Neat Idea

Consider having products made at Café Press to suit a specific niche market on eBay, such as Freemasonry, Scuba Diving, Topographical Views, etc.  Pack your eBay shop with different items and lots of different views. 

You can also sell your Café Press products on eBay and have Café Press fulfil orders directly to your customers.  It costs so little  to keep an item in your eBay shop for the entire month but shop listed items are less easily found by potential buyers than auction listed items.  Overcome this by having  one or two items listed at auction and use them to attract visitors to your shop to acquire your products ‘Buy It Now’ and also to generate hectic bidding that might even find your products fetching really high prices with lots of Second Chance Offer potential.

*  Café Press will even create bound books from your text which can also come from the public domain.
