I'm building a CP shop for a published author, with items related to his books. There are a couple of other CP shops that include items which use keywords related to the author's books (and in some cases more than that....) One artist has suggested that the author's CP shop could become an affiliate of her shop so the author would get some of the proceeds from items related to his books. This seems fair. But can it be done? Or is this against CJ rules?
It can be done...just not WITHIN a Cafepress shop. You must use an outside domain or blog.

Buzz Edition Blog Looking for hot newsworthy quality designs and the big story they were inspired by. PM me with the design link and a link to the story behind it for inclusion at Buzz Edition. Entertainment, Elections, Pop Culture, Etc.
CJ allows you to link where ever you'd like... your own site, blogs, newsletters, ppc, etc.
CP is the one with the more specific TOS you need to also agree to.. and it does not allow affiliate links within the cafepress.com domain. Anywhere else is fine.
It's a fantastic idea to cross promote from your own domain.. especially with a specific niche like this.
good luck!
