How to Sell on Zazzle and Make Money

Making money is Easy with Zazzle

Zazzle.com is a great way for artists to market their work, after getting an account one simply uploads their artwork from their computer onto their Zazzle account and you can begin designing products such as shoes, shirts, ties, skateboards, and more!

Extra Cash

It is a great way to make a little extra cash, and it is possible to be able to make a living off of your Zazzle shops! It takes a lot of time and effort, but it is possible.

Original Designs on Products

Some things to keep in mind while creating your products to sell on Zazzle.com is to be original, people buying online rather than in stores hope to find products that are unique, that you probably won't find anywhere else. Don't just use clipart or copy off of other designs you have seen.

Product Tags

Also always use a lot of keywords when typing your descriptions in order for your products to be seen more on search engines. Make sure the keywords are relevant to your product though.

Advertise your Products

Publicize your Zazzle Store as much as possible by networking and posting new product updates on your social network pages like Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, and others. If people don't know you have a shop on zazzle then they can't buy stuff from it, so let everyone you know in on it! If you have your own website, be sure to list your zazzle store in your links there as well.

Organization is Key

Make sure your Zazzle Shop is organized and easy to navigate, use the category folders to separate different types of designs and products. If people can't find what they are looking for they will be less inclined to buy your products. Put your design on as many products as possible as long as the design makes sense and looks good on that product. You never know what people will buy, and sometimes it is the product you least expect that will sell.

Wear your Art

Another way to advertise is to buy a few of your own shirts or products and make sure you put your web address for your shop on your products, and then wear them. Carry them around, use them, and be your own walking advertisement!

Zazzle Tips

 

Be Creative and Original

Zazzle.com offers more than 32 million products. If you want to stand out you have to be creative. Stray away from clipart and other images already on the internet. The marketplace is flooded with clipart created products. Be sure to create your own images.

Be Organized

Create categories in the products section of your account settings before you create your products. When you are in the process of creating your products it will ask what category you would like them in your store. Categorizing your products makes it easier for your customers to find the ones they want. You can also select an image for your categories, as a preview of what products are in that section.

Image Resolution

It is recommended that you create your images with at least 200 pixels per inch or more. This ensures that the image can be printed to the actual size of the product, which is often 10 inches or more and is not printed blurry. Each product has its own specifications. To see a list of Zazzle's image guidelines click the link here - Image Guidelines.

Creating Products



To create a product on Zazzle first sign into your account. Hit the create button at the top of the page under the Zazzle logo. Choose which category of products you would like to create and then choose the product. A pop up page will show asking you to add an image or text. Add your image or text to the product and hit ok. You will now see a product with your image or text on it. Feel free to move your image to ensure the correct placement on the shirt. The default placement is center of the product. You want to ensure that your image or text fits the product well and is not cut off or missing anything. Once you are done creating hit the Post For Sale button that is in red text under the settings on the right side of the page. Then add the following:
  1. Product Title
  2. Description
  3. Keywords / Tags
  4. Select a Public category
  5. Select your Store Category.
  6. Set your royalty
  7. Add Customization Option or leave blank
Then hit the Post It button. If everything was done correctly you will see a page saying your product posted. It takes several minutes to several hours for your product to show up within your store, as Zazzle needs to ensure that everything was done correctly and fits its guidelines before it shows up on your stores page.


Design fits the product

One of the biggest mistakes new people make on Zazzle is their images do not fit the products. They are either too small or too big. Often times the image is not set right on the product and the image is cut off. Be sure to read the Image Guidelines and to use the positioning tools when creating your products on the Zazzle page to ensure that your image fits the product correctly.

Promote your designs

Facebook, Twitter, and your own website are great places to start promoting your Zazzle store. Be sure to describe your store well and that you do not bombard your friends with promoting it. One or two links a day is plenty. Another great way to advertise your store is to order some of your own products to show to your friends and family. Often word of mouth is still the best and most effective form of advertising.

Acceptable Content Guidelines

It is very important that your designs adhere to the Zazzle guidelines. Stealing others artwork or infringing on copyrights is illegal and can get you in a lot of trouble and your products pulled from the marketplace. Below is the list of content guidelines provided by Zazzle.
To ensure that Zazzle continues to be enjoyed by everyone, Zazzle has a few rules that they ask everyone abide by. The following content is NOT PERMITTED at Zazzle:
