This article will give some information on how you can create designs for t-shirts and make a little extra money.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

Step 1

First, you need to go to spreadshirt.com and open an account. You should have some kind of art program to where you can create designs or a way to edit photos that you take with your own camera.
Step 2

You can get a program like photo shop or gimp and create designs and you can also use your digital camera and take some pictures of things that you can use as t-shirt designs.
Step 3

Keep in mind when you sign up for spreadshirt.com that you will be putting in prices for how much commission you want for both your design and the actual product. Look at the total of how much the product will cost with your design on it and make sure you are not pricing your items too high.
Step 4

This really was not a quick process to earn money when I opened a shop. I only put a few things in there and only sold 4 itmes so far, but I have not even gotten paid yet. I have not been active with my account and creating enough work to be getting profits, so keep this in mind that unless you are active and have great t-shirt ideas, you may not sell much.
Step 5

Look on spreadshirt.com and really read all of the information about how often you will get paid and how much money you have to have in order to get paid before you start making t-shirts. You really have to read the guidelines for submitting the designs so that you know the details, otherwise you may have problems.
Step 6

Step 7

Remember to take your time when reading the submission guidelines and when reading the payment information so that there are no surprises after you get started.
