Once upon a time, I had an Etsy shop and I even made a few sales. I sold one of my luggage to somebody in Paris, I felt really posh.

Ultimately, I was traveling so much that trying to keep an eye on the store to send products offered was just too stressful. I closed it down.

Which explains why I love the idea that there are websites which permit you to design stuff and the site manages the heavy lifting. Gain from being creative and market your artwork without doing everything? Yes please, my idle self enjoys that idea.

Here are 7 sites where you can profit from your creativity.

1. REDBUBBLE

Redbubble permits you to upload your layouts and choose what products you'd like them to be sold on and set the price/to determine your margin for profit.

You do not earn as much as you would on Etsy, but you aren't outside the expenses of the products and don't need to think about sending stuff. Bonus? Sites like Redbubble also cope with customer support issues.

2. AMAZON MERCH

While there's a waiting list to connect Amazon Merch, it is super user friendly, it lets you market your designs on t-shirts.

You just upload your designs, the few I've tried I've produced in Canva.

Then you determine the price of the top to determine your margin. Since so many people shop on Amazon it is a wonderful place to sell your designs.

Even though they only supply the ability to sell your layouts on t-shirts, it is Amazon, I would not be shocked when they expanded to other goods in the future.

You can register to combine the Amazon Merch waitlist here. (It took approximately two months on the waitlist before I had been approved)

3. TEE SPRING

TeeSpring is another website that permits you to market your layouts on t-shirts, but they expanded to allow you to sell your layouts on other goods too.

To begin designing you need to establish an account. Then you begin by picking out the type of merchandise you'd like to design.

You upload your layout, make a few different decisions and you are on your way to selling your designs.

4. CAFE PRESS

CafePress permits you to use your images, either photographs or ones you have created, and just like most of the other sites on this listing, sell them on over 2015 distinct products.

There are no upfront fees, even though cafe-press does take a fee. They could either take it out of your royalties or pay a flat fee monthly, quarterly, semi-annually, or even annually.

5. SOCIETY6

After getting a verified member of the website you can sell your artwork as prints and products.

On a number of the merchandise, you determine the price, and therefore your profit, on other products the royalties are appraised. It all varies by product type.

Society6 does an excellent job of setting out the exemptions for every item type.

6. DESIGN BY HUMANS

With Design By Humans, you open your own store. The number of products is limited, primarily various t-shirts and hoodies, in addition to phone cases and mugs.

While Layout By Humans determines your gain via royalties, they do double check your royalties for your first 90 days.

7. ZAZZLE

Zazzle sort of provides a middle ground between Etsy along with the other sites listed in this report. You're able to sell your art by uploading your designs and selling on the products they produce.

Or you may sell your own products where you deal with the inventory very similar to Etsy. Similar to Layout By People you do have your own shop, then when designing you put your margins.

While Etsy may be the most well known online marketplace, it is far from your only options if you are interested in making extra cash from the creative pursuits.
