Add You - 3 Ways to Make Money by Adding T-Shirts to Your Web Site or Blog
Studies show that most people approach a buying decision with some level of anxiety. The truth is, they really don’t want to have to make a decision. Believe it or not, your prospects are very often looking for an excuse not to satisfy a need or want. The decision-making process is just too stressful for them. What does that mean for you? Your job as a sales professional is to help your prospects overcome this anxiety – their desire to avoid making a decision – and commit to satisfying their needs or wants with YOUR product or service. So how do you do it? There are two keys here: 1. You’ve got to ask the right questions….everyone knows that. However, in training thousands of salespeople every year, we’ve found that salespeople talk their way out of more sales than they listen their way into. Salespeople who talk instead of listen tend to lose sales because they let their focus slip: They start thinking
3. Link to T-Shirt Sites that Have Great T-Shirts
This is the easiest thing to do. It is not as cutting edge and it does not have the personal touch selling your own t-shirt designs will have. But, it's easy and it can make you money.

You can search the web and you will find thousands of sites that sell t-shirts. But, not all of them will have a partner program like CafePress and CustomAvenue.com have. It is hit or miss.

I've watched a few episodes of Nanny 911 and with the chaos, out of control children and seemingly irreparable behavior, it strikes me as a precursor to Workplace 911. No, not a new reality TV show, but everyday workplace problems.You see, kids who don't get their way, who learn to hit, manipulate, scream and throw things, grow up and go to work. By the time they're adults, they've replaced their aberrant behaviors, like spitting, with more socially acceptable ones like sarcastic zingers and verbal tirades. They're the liars, the saboteurs, the bullies, and the road-blockers we meet up with at work. And I've met my share.But here's the thing. Just as those parents are challenged by the Nanny to identify and correct what they're doing to encourage and reward their children's behavior, we need to challenge ourselves to do the same at work. If you want to be winning at working, you need to uncover what you're doing to encourage an
'Fact is, you don't need the latest and greatest t-shirt site to make money on t-shirts. In fact, if you focus too much on selling t-shirts, you will drive yourself batty. Take my word for it. Uh Huh!
No, you really need a web site, or blog, that is about anything but t-shirts to make money on t-shirts. That's right, anything but t-shirts.

The key to making money from t-shirts is in niche markets. Niche marketing works like a charm with t-shirts.
Almost all of your site visitors wear t-shirts. They are a target market for t-shirts. The thing is, even if they look for t-shirts elsewhere online, the market is so big, so saturated, that it is hard to find anything. It takes a real effort. Yet, if your web site or blog is already of interest to them, you can show them shirts that they'll buy.
It's relatively easy but, you'll have to make the effort. One rainy Saturday afternoon of work on a t-shirt page for your site and you can probably create an income stream from t-shirts in that one afternoon. The cool thing is that you don't have to produce the shirts yourself or handle the orders and customer service to make money. You can build a page for your site that sells t-shirts that your customers can buy and once that page is done, it will take little or no maintenance. Just put some links on your site and let your site visitors discover it. Cool t-shirts sell themselves.

Part Three:Galleries need to create a close relationship with their artists. They need to nurture the fledglings, and hype established artists. They need to create a family in a sense. They need to know that if the gallery fails they will have their work returned to them safely. Without that I am personally not comfortable being in a gallery no matter where it is. An artist should not undervalue themselves and ship out their work just because they are flattered for being asked. Likewise galleries need to respect the talent and energy that goes into a piece of art by attending to the details that make the relationship work and therefore become successful.That was a real leaning experience for me as you might imagine. I have had other nightmares also, so I have had to put on a business hat as well as being an artist. Bad experiences are the reason I am extra cautious as to who and where I ship my work to.

Do you ever wonder why some sales people with lots of experience never make it to the high ranks for sales success? Have you met someone who seems like they would be perfect for sales because of an out going personality and good looks? Yet, when these same people are put into sales, they just don’t make it. Certainly there could be many reasons for lack of success. One factor to consider is that instead of years of sales growth, they have months or years of the same experience and never grow beyond the basics of sales. For some, they just don’t know how to pick winners for clients and continue to limit their success with the same activity day in and day out. Here is a question for you, if the measurement of success in sales is to have a high sales volume, then shouldn’t you do business with high volume clients. The right answer is YES! While this might seem simple, the unsuccessful sales person often overlooks this. This is one reason

We have all seen the little things that some companies give out to their customers and prospective customers – pens, and other small items – but what is a promotional item and what can it do?To answer the question, what is a promotional item, you first have to think about the word “promote”. Most companies promote themselves in a variety of ways: advertising on TV, the Internet, radio and the papers; word of mouth and promotional items are all important to getting information out about your company. The promotional items portion of this usually consists of small, inexpensive items that can be handed out to people – items with your company's name and contact printed on them.Perhaps the most popular promotional item of all time is the pen. Almost every company can afford to give out pens with their name and information printed on them, but these pens can also range up to much more ornate and interesting writing utensils. Some com

Market researchers are charged with finding out what markets want, what the consumers prefer. Information that market researchers gather shapes the number, the kinds and types of products and services that the producers offer for sale.Market research today is determining what goods and services will be available to all of us tomorrow.To get the information they need about consumer preferences, market researchers use a number of tools, including opinion surveys, focus groups, product trials, test marketing and others.Consumers get tired of being pestered about what they are thinking and have little interest in filling out the questionnaires with the info that the market researchers need.
