I plan to create 1 million of products with high quality and cute designs on Cafepress . Do you think it is possible to make a very good cash, even with half million products?

    Not sure what you mean, but with half a million products, I am sure you would atleast sell something

    Why don't you focus on selling one product first

    What?

    You're going to make a million products?

    That's a lot....I'd imagine something would sell.

    Why not create 1 (or a few) good product(s) and push that(them)?

    Cafepress has a tool where you put a image and create a lot of products automatically. For example: If I decide to create only bags, I select a image and bag section and many bags will have my image.

      I have created 82 Squidoo lenses with the intention to promote my own products. I also promote a few Amazon and Cafepress products in every lens, more as part of the decoration. I've accidentally sold many Amazon products (since 2009). However, I've never sold any Cafepress product, and each lens promotes at least six Cafepress products.

      I choose the best ones: wall clocks, nice T-shirts, pictures, etc, but I have never ever sold anything.

      You will be very lucky not only if you will manage to create one million products; but also if you will manage to sell at least one of them.

        Is that a 1 million dollar product (That would be great btw), 1 million different types of products or a bunch of products that worth 1 million. Anyway I like your enthusiasm and willingness to work hard

        That said however, I'd just stick to one and get a HUGE amounts of affiliates to promote it (Given that it's a fantastic product with a high EPC and conversions)

        Best of luck

        I've made about $20 from CafePress in the last 5 years with one design.

        SUGGESTION: If you go to their homepage, you will be able to see "trending topics". Gay Pride was trending #1 last night.

    Why not just create 1 product that gets a lot of a sales, or a few well targeted ones.

    Most people and me personally prefer a sniper approach verse a shotgun style. As they call it.

        If it takes a human 33 years to count to a million, I imagine it will take you longer upload them. Also do you have the rights to use those images? I doubt anybody took the time and money to get rights to a million images

          There is a site called GraphicsFactory.com, that has millions of images and permit members to use their images on Cafepress . I pay a small fee every year to have the license to use the images. And I have the license of another sites.

          Unless you're slow enough to count one number every minute, it would take a human to count to a million less than a month, including sleep.

          BTW I think OP is just trolling everyone. Creating more than a product / month is not advisable because the quality would suffer - unless you can find lots of help or you can really create high quality content very quickly.

            On CafePress you can create 100s of products in minutes. The quality doesn't suffer - it doesn't change. Have you looked to see what CafePress is?

            Not only is this the typical thread where the OP only wants one answer, it's the typical thread where responders can't be bothered to read and just post an answer which they think sounds good. (Clue - it doesn't sound good, it makes you look like an **** )

            btw - that wasn't a personal dig at the person I quoted - it was a dig at everyone here who hasn't bothered to read what the OP said.

          Hmm that means they only count 83 numbers per day ? pretty slow.

          To count to a million will take 2-3 weeks depending on speed.

          I think you are thinking of a billion :p

        You seem to already know the answer to your own question. You talk as if you were announcing that by creating more products one can sell many products.

        Well, thank you for your example.

              Haha, got a good laugh out of that one

              But seriously, 1 million different products? Do you know how much time tht will take you to do on your own? Even if you outsourced the work load to a group of people, it would still take forever. Focus on creating a handful of good products and work on selling those.

              Just because you have a million products doesn't mean you're going to make a lot of money.

      Alexa, I have stores on another print on demand company and not specific audience. When I increased the number of products, my sales increased, without a lot of marketing.
      My goal is to make 1 million of products and aggressive marketing.

    I agree with the other posts. You should start with one product. Because if you're trying to create 1 million products, you will have no focus whatsover. So start with 1 product. Then when you excel, promote other products.

    I was thinking the same, is that even possible? Even if he made a bot to upload them all at the speed of light, he would take their servers offline. He said he has a membership to sites with millions of images, but then he would have to download them one by one, and upload them and fill in a descriptions. it would take 100 years to do all that at the very least.

    I am guessing he wants to know for sure if he can make alot of money doing it, before he spends the rest of his life uploading the images.

      To me it's simply not worth the time or effort to try to upload a million products. Find something that works, then work off that idea. If the OP is going to spend the next 30 years of their life creating products, at least make sure they will be successful.

    In defence of the OP (goodness knows why), he didn't say he was going to upload a million images. He said he would create a million products. I'd guess there are thousands of products on cafepress, and I'd guess that the whole range can be made just by uploading 1 image.

    He'd probably only need to upload a max of 1000 images to get his million products.

    Edit: I had to look, didn't I? It says there are 250 products. Ok, he'll have to upload 4k images.

      Ah that's true, his one liners didn't give us much info, so we assumed he was creating a million different products, by uploading a million images.

      What if you can sell each product just one time?

      And sold it for a dollar?

      You'd be rich.
      He'd be one of the dumbest business men on the planet, it will cost 10-15 dollars to produce and ship each product on Cafepress

      Perhaps it does.

      A very smart man once told me that "in order to make more money online, you need to build more BUY buttons."

      That advice is very accurate...

      BUT, the amount of money you will actually earn when you build more BUY buttons is completely dependent on the amount of value you are giving to other people.

      If you build one million pieces of crap, you will make nothing.

      And yet, you could potentially make more money building just 10 or 100 excellent products.

    I'am afraid how he'll be able to make 1 million salespages for his 1 million products. BTW if he puts 3 Buy now buttons on each one, he's going to have 3 million buy now buttons. Can that make the conversion better? and what about the hosting. I can imagine the reaction on hostgator's admin's face when the OP will ask him to host his products. He'll probably say " sir we're smelling poverty soon". Making million products is not the only thing, you have to think about other tree branches of promoting them.

    Here's the best you can do. Pack up the products in a PLR package on 1 million and sell it for a decent price. that "might" sell!

      You obviously have never visited CafePress or Amazon. LOL

      He is talking about using CafePress, and with it, he can put up to 96 BUY buttons on each page, and he won't even need to work with HostGator.

      And as far as Amazon is concerned, they have millions of products on their site, and they don't have to limit themselves to PLR to make money doing so.

    To make 1 million products in one year, you would need to make...

    2740 products per day!

    2740 x 365 = 1,000,100

    That's 115 products per hour (for a whole year straight) or about 2 products per minute for a year.

    It's possible, but you would have to be one of the hardest workers ever lol!

    Maybe try 10,000 and see how that goes? It's possible.

    If I were you, I think you should do split testing on various designs (only if you could dedicate your time and money for the designs).

    Let's say that you have created 5 designs and see which of these designs are the winners, and which ones are not. Let's say 2 of them are winning designs, so get rid of the three losers. So you should try focus on the winners, and maybe create another batch of designs and split test them.

    Rinse and repeat! Just focus on the winning designs you have, until you can make one million winning designs.

      Then teach me how?????
      Go to CafePress. Open new shop. Go to "enter design information". Upload your design. Go to "Add products" - select them all. Hey Presto - 500+ products created in around 2 mins.

      Is that what you meant by "teach me how"?
