p.s. I need someone who is interested in taking this shop over while I'm in Iraq. PM me and if I select you, you should be prepared to take it over in the next two weeks. I actually did talk about this with steel before he found out about his cancer and I'm not sure he'll be keen about taking it over any more since I'm sure he has other shit to do. If you still want to do it, man, speak up!
Here's what you would need to be able to do:
You would have to:
-take design ideas and come up with subsequent designs somehow to ensure that we have a steady stream of t-shirt designs actually coming in (think contest topics in GA.) Also, find some way to stoke interest in these kinds of design topics since they suffer from not getting too many entries right now.
-when these designs come in, proof them and submit them to Spreadshirt. if they're not vectors, you could try to get them vectorized at somewhere like lizardfish or vectordoctor (both have fees and I have paid out-of-pocket to have designs retraced at those sites before) or you could just trace them over yourself if you are so inclined
-if it's a vector and it gets rejected (this happened a lot for me), you could (a) keep fucking with it until it gets submitted or (b) save it as a raster and get it submitted instantly.
-once the designs are up, put them up on the site as products (it's a very simple interface)
-write descriptions for the products
-you don't have to do this, but I usually bounce samples off either myself or the person who made the design. it'll require buying shirts and if you don't want to do this I completely understand. the reason I do this though is because Spreadshirt has a nasty habit of informing the customer, not the seller, that their design couldn't be made AFTER the customer has ordered, which in my opinion is pretty shitty business practice because you should probably resolve the error with the seller and the seller should inform the customer. i don't know!
All in all, it sounds like a lot, but it's not like it's a second job or anything. It just takes maintenance and checking back once every couple of weeks. You don't need a paypal account because I have all the commissions going to bart's so as to keep the money out of my hands. This is a charity op, remember. The person who is going to run this gets no money. Let me know.
