In this tutorial we'll show you how to get your logo printed on T shirts, mugs & bumper stickers  with CafePress.com. I've been using CafePress for years, they're a web company who'll print your logo onto just about anything then create a web page where you can sell your branded goods - and it won't cost you a penny to set up.

In the next few minutes, we'll talk you through step by step, how to create a CafePress account, upload your image and start selling your branded merchandise.

They'll just ask you for a username and password for now.

If you think this tutorial is helpful, feel free to say that I referred you, enter first4calls under 'Referral Store ID'.

Click on 'Create New Shop' at the top right of the screen.

Here you'll be asked for your shop ID (Tip - this will become part of the web address later for your shop front so it's a good idea to make it simple and reflect your logo name).

For all of this tutorial, we're going to set up a merchandising site for a phone service called first4calls.com

Here in 'Shop ID' we're going to call our shop 'first4calls'

In shop name we're going to add 'first4calls.com online store'

and we've already created a web page saying 'Thanks for buying' so were going to add that URL to 'Return Page After Shopping' just to bring people back to our own site.

Just a couple of steps to go, were going to confirm that the site is 'kid friendly' and we're not going to list it as 'private'.

OPEN A SHOP

Your shop has been created!

Your Shop ID is first4calls

You can view your shop at http://www.cafepress.com/first4calls

It's all very well having set up your first shop, but just like any High Street store, you now need to start selling the goods.

This is the sexy part !  Now let's start putting your logo on things you can sell.

This list will change from month to month as new seasonal items are added and old ones are taken off. You'll receive emails telling you of these changes and advising on marketing techniques from time to time.

Here we're going to select 'Ash Grey T-Shirt', click once on the image.

Here we're going to add a new one. Click on 'Add Image'.

You can upload a jpg or png file, the file size limits are 7mb for a jpg and 4mb for a png, and CafePress advise "When creating images, start your image at 200-300 DPI." (There's much more advice on graphics on the CafePress site).

We've already exported our logo from The Logo Creator as 'Jpeg - High Res Full' so just browse to the file and press 'upload'.

Don't forget, we're actually halfway through adding the logo to the Ash Grey T Shirt here, so click on 'Select' on your logo (I have three in this screenshot, you'll probably just have the one to start with) and now you get to see what your T Shirt will look like all branded up !

As you can see, you've got numerous options on logo size and placement, but for now we're going to keep with the default of 'Image Height' 4 inches and 'Image Placement' center.

Click on 'Next'

Click on 'Next' again.

We're going to add a bit of text as the 'description', and we're going to change the price from $14.99 to $16.99. This means every time someone buys a T-shirt, not only does it not cost you a penny in printing, but you'll actually make $2 on it !

Your store has been created and you can start selling your goods at no hassle and cost to yourself.

Check out the CafePress site for more details on how and when you get paid, advice on marketing and uploading the best image.

This example was created for real, you can see what it looks like at http://www.cafeshops.com/first4calls

(Don't forget, the URL takes its address from the 'Shop ID' you entered at the start !)

Now enjoy creating and selling a range of items all branded with the logo you created in The Logo Creator.
