If you can't beat 'em - join 'em. Affiliate Programs that is...!

As usual, the world has passed me by with more ways to market our Cafe Press and Zazzle shops on the internet. Surprisingly, I didn't realise how effective these things were until I read about it on a forum on how great it was.

I must admit that I just ignored it at first, but in truth, that was a big mistake.

As much as I want to sell my t-shirts to the masses, I still quite like the idea of keeping a low profile and appealing to the niche market we currently have. But now, everywhere I go I can't stop tripping over banners and links for other t-shirt store owners and feeling a little left out.

Here's one of my banners:

The benefits of becoming an affiliate is the 20% commissions. Very few affiliate programs offer such large commissions - it sounds worthwhile, I think.

A Hedgehog Gear design worthy of a mention


I thought I'd share a few of my slightly off-beat designs with you.
Based on the Sex Pistols' God Save The Queen album cover, I created God Save the Hedgehog - Never Mind the Quills.... yess... I know, a bit weird - but I'm like that, so hey!

I like vivid colour and not afraid to use it - however, I'm VERY afraid to wear it!!

For all you punks out there.. this design is also on t-shirts, long sleeve, bags, mousemats and even tile coasters. Check it out on my website: http://www.hedgehoggear.com

My First Blog - wahey!!!!

Welcome to my First Blog....

Well this is a different lifestyle for a person who generally has little to say. My weekends are filled with creating new designs on www.Hedgehoggear.com, my T-shirt shop. Apart from that I do my best to keep out of trouble doing simple web designs.

Anyway... check back soon. No doubt I'll add more to this soon.
