Threadless

My next money making idea is through threadless.com. This is a site that sells t-shirts. That's it. They offer individuals the ability to help them out with designs or slogans. All you have to do is create an account. Then you can submit designs and slogans. If your design is chosen to be printed on a shirt then you get paid $2000. If your slogan is chosen then you get $500. They choose by looking every couple of weeks at the highest voted designs and slogans. Then they pick their favorites. The votes are cast by other account holders trying to get their own stuff chosen. So, this idea is probably not the best, but I thought it would be fun.

Setting up an account is easy. All you have to do is give them your email and a pick a password. Then they send you an email to confirm your email address. After your email is confirmed, the account is set up. At this point you can submit designs or slogans as well as vote on them.

I did this in a matter of minutes and was able to submit my first slogan. I'm not sure if I would agree with the term "slogan." It seems more like people are submitting random quotes. Anyway, I had been thinking about what I wanted to submit for a while. I had remembered something someone told me when I asked him how he was doing. He said, "I'd be awesome if I could get over being fantastic." I thought that would be a great first slogan until I was done submitting it. Then I realized the quote seemed a little vain. Oh well, it was done.  Now, I could have removed it, but I decided to let it ride.  The votes came back as I thought. Out of 28 votes so far, 3 liked it, and one of the votes was mine. Well, I guess I should start thinking of some more slogans. Wish me luck.

If you are interested in checking out the website, here is a link. Now, if you use this link and happen to purchase a t-shirt, I will get a little credit.  This credit is in the form of money to be used on threadless.com. Then maybe I can buy myself a t-shirt.
