I setup the vstore in 15 minutes and after I verified my email the store was up and running. My logo and customization took a little longer but it was definitely worth the time. CONS: META TAGS are not search engine friendly. PROS: Free

Your Signature: Change It For Special Occasionsand Fun Posted By : LJ Alexander
I remember when I was, oh, about fourteen, I used to write my name as, Eljay. Though it didnt sound any different when it was spoken, I thought it looked cool in print. It was in the seventies and cool was the thing to be, after all. Just using my initials was bland . . . too, too, boring. But spelling out those initials, well, that was ultra-creative in my formative mind.

Review
With CafePress it took my about 30 minutes because I had to create my logo and image for my t-shirt. You could always have a professional do those for you take a look at gotlogos.com for $25 they will design a professional looking logo for you. Those images could also be used on a shirt, just be sure you read the cafepress tutorials first. They have an upgrade available at 4.95/month
ClickBank

With ClickBank every link on your web site can be a source of revenue. Use the ClickBank Marketplace to find products that will be of interest to people who visit your web site. Next to each product listing you'll see a percentage. This is the commission you can earn for referring a paying customer to ClickBank to purchase that product.
Review
There are two CONS with clickbank’s market place: One is that you cannot pick and choose which products you want to sell. Some of the products they offer are great while others ar terrible. Two there are no customizations but they are available if you know some basic HTML. Check out this free PHP script called CBSEARCH at http://phpfreebies.com/free-clickbank-search-engine-script.php
Now all that’s left is marketing your store. Word of mouth still works. Have Fun!
