I have found a lot of success at cafepress. It takes a little time but I am clearing almost $200/month but I know experienced shopkeepers that make close to $2000/month. I have only had the shop since June and sales have increased every month. It takes a little time but it is very simple.

Upload your designs, tag the art, pick your product, add your markup, enter descriptions and manage your sections. It is all pretty user friendly. The more you get into it the more you will be able to do.

The only definite advice I would give is get a premium shop. It will run you about $5/month but you have a lot more options here than with the free shop.

The hard part is getting customers to your shop. The CP Marketplace will draw in some sales but it takes a little more work to get the sales that really pay off. Network and learn as much as you can from experienced shopkeepers.

There is a large community of cafepress shopkeepers on social sites like Squidoo with lots of information to learn from. Here is a invitation to a Squidoo group that will help you: http://www.squidoo.com/group/create_lens...

Like I suggested, network, blog, join twitter and Squidoo. Anything to get the name of your shop out there. Exposure is the key!

Good luck.

The hard part is marketing your shop.
