I just ran across a post on Mashable that I thought might interest my readers. It’s called ‘15 Places to Make Money Creating Your Own Products‘. In the article Josh Catone lists 15 print/make-on-demand companies that will make ‘just one’ of just about anything (within reason), and most will drop-ship the item to your customer. Some even give you a place on their site to sell your product.
Below I’ve reprinted the 15 places but be sure to read through the comments on the article at Mashable. The readers have added at least 10 more great sites. With info like this, there’s nothing stopping you from starting your own online business.
Go to Mashable’s article for descriptions of each site.
CafePress -print-on-demand tees, card, mugs, etc.
Zazzle – same as CafePress
Spreadshirt – mostly print-on-demand tees and sweatshirts
PikiStore – same as CafePress and Zazzle
Lulu – print-on-demand books, CDs, DVDs, etc.
CreateSpace – same as Lulu, owned by Amazon
Blurb – print-on-demand books only
TasteBook – print-on-demand personal cookbooks
CDBaby – CDs – lots of Indie Artists use this site
The Game Crafter – make your own board game or card game
SpoonFlower – print fabric with your own custom design
Ponoko – will turn a 3-D drawing into a product-toys, housewares, furniture, jewelry, etc.
Shapeways – same as Ponoko
ImageKind – print-on-demand art and photography
deviantART – same as ImageKind
Enjoy the list and let your imagination run wild!
Until next time…
