I'm an artist considering selling my designs on Threadless. Summarize the key benefits of opening an Artist Shop, including any costs involved, what operational responsibilities Threadless handles, the types of products available for my designs, and how much control I have over pricing and my earnings.
Navigate to threadless.com. Click on the 'Open a free online POD (print-on-demand) store' link. Identify and synthesize information regarding the cost of opening a shop, services provided by Threadless, product categories, and artist control over pricing and earnings. Provide a concise summary addressing all aspects of the task.
State that opening an Artist Shop is free and has zero out-of-pocket expenses. Confirm that Threadless provides a 'turnkey print-on-demand store' and handles 'everything else' so artists can focus on creating and sharing art. List 'apparel, home decor, and accessory items' as product categories available for designs. Explain that artists can 'set their own prices' using an 'easy-to-use pricing tool' or let Threadless do it. Clarify that artists have control over their earnings and profit margins through their pricing decisions.
