During February 2019 I have sold a total of nine t-shirts on German Amazon with two returns – two customers were unsure about the sizes and had ordered two sizes each.
Kölle is dat jeilste Land der Welt T-Shirt mit Herz
Kaffee Haiku japanisches Gedicht T-Shirt Morgenmuffel
Endlich Dönerstag! süßes T-Shirt für Dönerliebhaber
Der frühe Vogel kann mich mal! Verschlafene Eule T-Shirt
I had a bit forgotten about GrabYourDesign (GYD) until I received another payout from them. They are a rather slow earner for me with little royalties compared to other print on demand websites but they do a LOT to spread your products out there and make sure your designs can reach a broad customer base. They do sell on Amazon in Europe, Ebay and some other mostly French online shops. I can recommend them, uploading your work is fast and hassle-free!
In January 2019, I had four sales with them:
Case for Samsung Galaxy S3 – Wuppertal Suspension Railway by Christine aka stine1
Case for Nokia 8 – Japanese Garden in Leverkusen by Christine aka stine1
Case for Nokia 8 – Bright yellow Flowers by Christine aka stine1
Case for Sony Xperia XA1 – Canada Coat of Arms by Christine aka stine1
About two months ago, Society6 offered free international shipping and a few dollars off their products. I could not resist and order another coffee mug (the three mugs I had ordered for Christmas 2014 came as a puzzle due to poor packaging), a tote bag with their all over print and a comfy blanket.
They sent the mug separately and it arrived within 2 weeks without any problems or extra fees for customs. It was also very well wrapped in bubble foil and therefore arrived safely.
I have ordered this design:
Santa Monica Pier Bursting Colors 11oz Coffee Mug by Christine Aka Stine1
It’s one of my own very colorful Santa Monica Pier photo edits 🙂
And this is the new mug with its first coffee:
Santa Monica Pier Society6 Coffee Mug
The quality is good, the print is excellent and shiny. There was a little greenish spot on the rim – you can see it in the photo – that I had to rub away. Probably just some color. I really love this mug and how it came out. Regular price is $15, I got it for $11.25 since its my own design and I won’t earn royalty from it 🙂
December 2015 has been my BEST month so far with Cafepress! Due to all the Christmas shopping, I had a total of 26 sales and earned about $45. Woohoo! This is a breakthrough, especially since Zazzle had been disappointing during Christmas season 2015 🙂
Since Cafepress’ embedded code is still not working, I will continue to post screenshot of my sales along with links to my profile page where you can take a look at all designs and products:
During November 2015, I had 7 successful sales on Cafepress. Not the best month but definitely a good month! But since Cafepress recently has made changes to their embed code, I will have to put up a screenshot of my sales and a link to my designs since I do not have the time to link to each and every product. I am sorry – a support ticket has been filed 🙂
Cafepress Sales November 2015
During September 2015, I had three sales on Society6:
Scenic Beach at The Baths on Virgin Gorda, BVI Wall Tapestry by Christine aka stine1 on Society6
Sparkling pink Santa Monica Pier Wall Tapestry by Christine aka stine1 on Society6 (sold twice)
Three sales are not much but better than nothing. I can’t really complain and I am pretty happy to have sold wall tapestries 🙂
These are my sales on Cafepress from September 2015. It was another relatively great month for me 🙂
Two items are not available anymore.
During July 2015, I was able to sell quite a few designs on GrabYourDesign (GYD). Some of them sold more than once and unfortunately, I do not know what kind of product I have sold with my design. It could be any smartphone case, flip flops, mouse pads or whatever they have to offer.
So here is a rough list of my sales all with the standard iPhone 6 case 🙂
Case for Iphone 6/6S – Floral Eiffel Tower
Case for Iphone 6/6S – Vintage Hockenheimring
Case for Iphone 6/6S – Golden Gate Bridge
Case for Iphone 6/6S – Canada Coat of Arms

Case for Iphone 6/6S – Statue of Liberty
Case for Iphone 6/6S – Caribbean Lighthouse
Case for Iphone 6/6S – Rainbow Palm Tree
Case for Iphone 6/6S – Penguin under Water
What I absolutely love about GrabYourDesign is the quick and easy design process. You do not have to do much and your artwork is added to their products in seconds (ok, 1 minute *g*). After having problems with Chinese copy cats on the infamous Amazon Marketplace, they had removed their products from Amazon a few weeks ago and are now back on Amazon with added security. They even forbid right clicks on their own website and make sure to add a watermark to their product pictures. Well done, GYD! I have also received my first cash out this fall and am very, very happy with them! I can totally recommed this print on demand website for beginners, it is the easiest I know (apart from Redbubble) but does deliver a good amount of sales (different to Redbubble which is more than frustrating!). If you are not yet selling your designs there, please join and have fun while earning 🙂
After my first sale in March 2015, I had two more sales (both t-shirts) in August 2015 on Design By Humans (DBH).
Santa Monica Pier green grey Canvas T-Shirt by Christine aka stine1 on Design by Humans
Abstract Rainbow Palm Tree T-Shirt by Christine aks stine1 on Design By Humans
I do not yet sell much on DBH but I really hope I can increase my sales.
October 2015 had a huge surprise for me in store. My sales on CowCow exploded! I have no idea why it came this sudden after two years with one or two sales per year but now I am starting to see the light. CowCow is starting to pay off although the royalty percentage is extremely small. I usually earn 10 to 20 CENTS per sale through CowCow.com and $1 to $2 when selling something in my own CowCow shop. But hey, better small cents than no cents at all!
Let me present my CowCow sales from October 2015 for you. Be warned, the list is rather long!
