Of course you can have a fame of your own, at least among your circle of friends and family. At CafePress.com the public is able to have customized merchandise made like t-shirts, hoodies, hats, calenders, posters, print-on-demand books, audio and data Cds/DVDs and such. Many, many possibilities for products to sent to your circle … pictured, gifts, birth announcements, staying in touch etc.
They even offer an online shop to sell your creations to the general public. I think this is great idea because there are no upfront costs and it is an economical way for fashion students, struggling designers, or anyone who has a design idea to create a buzz for their product. As someone with ” no. budget. whatsoever. ” for any ventures, I see this as an amazing opportunity for new ideas to get noticed. You can also promote you business or charitable cause this way. Writers, artsists, musicians, whomever can just upload their idea or artwork, et voila! Cool.
