How to Start a Clothing Line With Zazzle
Zazzle makes it easy for anyone to start their own clothing line. With a little planning you can be designing for the holidays or the seasons. The best part is there is no financial outlay for the designer. You can use your own designs or those in public domain. The main clothing items Zazzle sells are T-shirts, sweatshirts, aprons, hats, and sneakers.

Getting Started with Zazzle
-
1
Open an account. It is recommended that it be a business name such as ZZ Designs. If the business has something to do with a particular area, then that area should be included in the title. Zazzle will then give you a subdomain (for example, zazzle.com/zzdesigns). Opening an account is simple with just your name, email, user name and password.

2
Gather some designs. The easiest way to do this is through artwork that is in the public domain if you are not an artist.

3
Decide what you want to design. More than 75 different items are available--everything from a T-shirt to a mouse pad--on which you can put your designs.

Design your clothes. Zazzle makes it really easy, since it outlines the space you can use. You will see the starting templates that allow you to upload images and input text.

Give your product a descriptive name such as "Sarah Palin Beauty Queen Poster."

Tips & Warnings
Commission is automatic, but it takes 30 days to clear and can be paid via check or PayPal. The more items you post for sale, the more likely you will have sales.
It can take up to 3 months to get paid, depending on the date of the purchase and clearance of the funds.

Thank you, I have thought that a Zazzle store might be fun but I am not to artistic. I had not thought of public domain images.
