Hello Zazzlers and friends!
Here's another post about sites where you can find t-shirts, lots of t-shirts. Sharing the second part of this big list I researched. It might be useful. You can find some inspiration for your designs in it, or you can get to study some different t-shirt business models if you're planning to open a t-shirt store. Or find stores that will do the printing for you. Or maybe you can find that t-shirt you were just looking for.
Today's list has t-shirt sites that also run t-shirt design competitions. Why not give it a try? I am not earning anything from these links but I also added a list of affiliate programs you can join so you can make money selling t-shirts even if you don't care to design it. When checking a t-shirt site look if they have an affiliate program. Many do have one.
After all this work I don't know if I am more or less motivated to design t-shirts for Zazzle than I was when I started! One thing I am sure: T-shirts seem to be a terrific business for many. Some of these sites are running for many years. So...have a look yourself.
