Zazzle Sales 2012-10-16 (Grazing Sheep by The Rhine Trucker Hat)

I am often surprised about what kind of photo products sell on Zazzle. This hat is the most recent surprise.

Honestly, I had totally forgotten about creating these “trucker hats” as I personally would not buy such a hat with a photo on it. I don’t know, it’s not something I would wear. But I have just sold my first trucker hat to a fellow German:

 

Thanks to Stephan in Warendorf for purchasing this hat! It earned me €1.29 in royalty and made me create a template for hats so that I can easily create more of them. This hat is the proof that you should never give up on Zazzle and never think “I won’t create that item, no one will buy it anyway!”. This would be a huge mistake *lol*

 

Zazzle is My Drug!

Nothing can be more addicting than success – and I am totally addicted to selling items on Zazzle *lol* Read all about it here:

Days without Zazzle sales are lost days. Every morning, I open my Gmail account to see whether Zazzle has sent me a notification that I have sold something. On some days, I have one or more emails in my inbox telling me about sales – what a joy! But some days don’t grant me this joyous happy feeling 😦

Days without Zazzle sales are sad days *lol*

I have found out that the chance is higher to sell something when I have created new items on the prior day. Or when I have promoted my products a lot. On days when I am lazy, I rarely have follow-up sales.

Anyway, Zazzle really is a drug. I am high when I sell something and I am down when I have sold nothing.

The monthly Zazzle Volume Bonus is another feature that adds to my addiction. Will I make it this month? Will I make it in Dollars or in Euros?

What will be my next sale anyway? Will I sell any item more than once in this month?

When will I sell my first pillow?

So many questions, so many reasons for LOVING Zazzle *lol*

When you are a Zazzle seller, do you also feel like that?

This question is also valid for sellers on Cafepress, Society6, Redbubble or any other similar print-on-demand website that let’s you earn money with your designs.

I’d love to hear your thoughts on this.

And I guess there could be worse addictions, right? *lol*

 

Zazzle Sale 2012-09-20 (Neuschwanstein Castle – Schloss Neuschwanstein Postcard)

Yeah, another day another sale.

It seems that I get back to selling at least one item daily and to be honest: I love it!

I have sold this wonderful post card to Seymour in Laguna Woods, California:

 

As my royalty increase from 10.1% to 11% was activated yesterday (gets activated once a month on the 20th), I have earned 2 cents more than usual *lol* Seymour earned me $0.10 in royalty. Thank you!

 

Have you ever been there? I have been there twice already 🙂

Struggling with Sales and Earnings on Zazzle?

Many Zazzle sellers and affiliates fail to get many sales to earn them decent money. Read this article to receive some help.

Zazzle is an international print-on-demand service. You can shop millions of great gift ideas and presents. But they also let you design your own items with your photos or art on them and then you can sell them in a free shop. You earn royalty for every sale of your own products or 15% when you refer any sale as their affiliate.

I am actively designing and selling on Zazzle for less than one year and have several sales per week. My articles and blog entries on Triond or my blog Zizzling Zazzle are my proof that you can earn a decent amount without having much to do.

Many Zazzlers keep asking me what I am doing and what they need to do to increase sales and earnings on Zazzle. I have written some articles about it and I have also written my first pretty comprehensive eBook that might help you, too!

It is available on Amazon for the Kindle and on Smashwords in many more formats:

Effective but FREE marketing for your Zazzle shop and products

The good thing about my method is that it is absolutely FREE but EFFECTIVE! Before I thought about promoting my work the way I promote it now, I had maybe one sale per month. Now I have several per week and sometimes even one or more per day!

Isn’t this cool?

The second good thing about my method is that everyone can do it! You don’t need much time, you don’t have to invest any money. E with 5 minutes per day, you should be able to see an increase very soon. Furthermore, the eBook is written for everyone to understand it. I write about things everyone can do. If you have signed up for Zazzle and have already created one or a few items, then you have all it takes to understand my eBook! You don’t need to be an IT expert.

Here are some excerpts from reviews that I have received:

“So much information, clearly stated and easy to follow, I am going to use these tips to help promote my zazzle shop.” Review by: Diane H

“This book is very good for a beginner or one that has yet to figuring out how to market themselves.” Review by: Tina Shaskus

“Making a store on zazzle is very easy, but if you don’t know what to do next, what’s the point? Even for a beginner, such as myself, this book is very easy to follow. In this first book, she walks you through the steps to help make your store successful. Drawing on her own experiences, this book will help guide you on the best ways to promote your products.” Review by: Ann LaMar

And do you know what’s absolutely BEST about my eBook? It does not only work with Zazzle products! It does also work with Cafepress, Etsy, FineArtAmerica, RedBubble, Society6 and every other shop you want to promote!

Please note that my eBook is not written for people who have not yet started selling designs on Zazzle. My target are people who have already created a few (or many) products and now seek for a way to increase their sales and to spread the word. All all this free!

I am selling things almost daily and am active on Zazzle for less than a year! And all this with no penny investment, my marketing is FREE.

If you would like to find out what I am doing, you might be interested in my eBook. As of now, it is available on Smashwords.com with a huge variety of formats to choose from. I plan to also have it included it popular shops like Amazon, Apple and Barnes & Noble very soon.
