  • LOL welcome back Daniel!
  • Thanks for the explanation of behind the scenes at CP, Daniel. I make the $250 basic sales level regularly and 2x each year even make the $1,000 in basic sales level. This WILL cost me money. Most of my customers come from Marketplace. And I have a separate website: www.kuyperphotography.com, 12 Squidoo lens, and IK presence.
  • I just calculated that my profits will go down by 22.5% if next year's sales are identical to this year's. If my shop continues to grow (which it will) the profits will be down even more than 22.5%. I currently get less than 5% of my sales from my shop (used to be more) - over 95% are from the Marketplace (thanks to CafePress promoting their Marketplace so heavily). Thanks for stealing almost a quarter of my profits, CafePress. I will now be diversifying my items to Zazzle and Printfection so I don't rely so heavily on profits from one POD source. Screw you, CafePress - you've definitely screwed me.
