The short answer is: participate in the Choice100!

The longer answer is: participate in the Choice100 and not only make money selling high-quality tees without having to worry about overhead and inventory, but have a network of designers and design inspiration to help you be a better designer and sell even MORE tees!

We’re really, really excited to start 2008 with a bang, and we finally have some details about our membership incentive program to share with you, our potential Choice100 designers. The program takes sales incentives into account, as well as group performance and raw commission. This is one of the most rewarding programs out there, and we hope you think it is too.

Signing Bonus

If you create a design that you want to sell through the Choice100 network, you will be able to submit it for consideration. Upon approval as a printable and saleable shirt, we will help you choose a design category for it and put it up for sale in a dedicated section of the ChoiceShirts online store. It will be available for sale there, and available for you to link to from your Choice100 Blog page (each Choice100 artist gets one), personal blog, Facebook, Myspace, Twitter, or anywhere else that you want to promote your shirt design. You begin receiving referral and commission dollars from the first sale, but once you reach your 10th sale for every design you submit, you will receive a $100 signing bonus per design to congratulate you on your official entry into the Choice100!

Sales Commission

By linking into the dedicated Choice100 section of the ChoiceShirts store, you are able to sell your shirts without having to worry about any fancy e-commerce solutions, shopping carts, credit card processing fees, and most of all production and inventory overhead. You can link in from your Facebook page, Myspace page, personal site, blog, twitter, instant message profile: ANYTHING! We will pay out a 20% commisson of ALL orders that come from your referrals, even shirts that aren’t ones that you designed. With average shirt prices around $20, that’s $4 per shirt ordered, whether you designed it or not. That means if you sell other people’s shirts, or anything from our own wide selection of tees, along with your own, you make bonus cash!

Designer Royalties

We think that you should not only get credit for your hard work selling, but your hard work designing. That’s why we’re going to pay a $3 per shirt royalty for each sold using your design, regardless of who sells the shirt! So if you’re doing a good job of selling your own shirts, you’ll could earn $3 royalty + $4 commission (on a $20 tee-shirt) per shirt sold. That means you can be making $7 per shirt. And remember, you can have more than one design for sale at a time, increasing your profits!

Performance Bonuses

On top of sales commission and royalties, we’ll be sharing even more opportunities for sharing in profits with designers who created top-selling designs. Cash and prize incentives will be assessed and rewarded each month, and you can even win bonuses up to two months in a row!

Group Rewards

We’re setting our goals high, and hoping that as a group, the Choice100 can pull through! Large group participation goals will be designed to get the Choice100 artists motivated to sell as a whole, and will be able to receive large prizes (like cash in the THOUSANDS of dollars), together!

Fun Events with New Friends

In addition to all of the financial incentives, the Choice100 will also be organizing face to face events, starting in Philadelphia where we are based out of and hopefully spreading across the country to city-based “chapters” of our Choice100 design community. A lot of focus will begin locally here in Philadelphia, but that doesn’t mean you can’t participate!

Are you excited yet? We’ve got an aggressive schedule for the rest of this month to start receiving design submissions for our launch event.

Stay tuned for more on that. Be sure to subscribe to find out more about our launch!
