I coincidentally just became a Pro Basic yesterday. It took me from November 11th to July 8th. I’m a slow creator too, I have managed to have posted 298 items as of today. Unfortunately I just realized yesterday that I have to switch out a seo tag for the AI indicator so I have started last night to switch out my last tag to remedy this matter but it will take me some time to go through my whole list. Thanks heaven I have less than 300 to do and not thousands. 😉
I am using AI in many respects. English isn’t my native language so I use ChatGPT for my descriptions. I use Kittl’s background remover because it’s so much faster than doing it by hand. I also use upscale programs to enhance my photos because I don’t owe a good camera, I take my photos with an iPhone. Still I have sold lots of my photos on a now defunct site from San Francisco (purchased by Envato and then killed off - I’m positive lots of our photos have been used to train some AI models).
I can honestly say that I put a lot of effort into Zazzle. I like Zazzle and even though lots of people complain here because it’s sometimes glitchy I can tell you that eBay and Etsy is glitchy too but they also milk you a lot money wise. I have been an eBay seller with thousands of 100% positive feedback and I don’t miss it a bit. I still have my accounts because sometimes (rarely) I might purchase something on those platforms.
Before November ‘23 I had not once visited Zazzle but I really, really like it. Time will show how many years it will take me to become Bronze, lol.
It’s not looking to grim either, today I have sold the same business card listing again. Business cards are 40% off today - if they still are tomorrow I’ll buy some for my self. 🤗

I’m about to release a revised beginners guide to Zazzle which will be free and I hope provide access to everything you need to get started on the right foot. It saves a lot of time doing things the right way from the starter gate. I made a ton of mistakes on my way up and if I’m in a hurry I still do. But there are definitely ways to make things easier and move ahead faster. Wishing you luck!

How do you actually get the pro badge on your profile? I don't have one and I've been selling since 03/14/24 and as of today I've made $350 total in royalties.
Here are my milestones:
- $100 by June 5
- $200 by June 21
- $300 by July 6th
- $350 by July 12th
I didn't really start doing it seriously until end of April.

@MyDigiDesigns I believe Zazzle goes with when the earned funds reach enough time to be able to get paid out? Kinda? I mean it first shows as pending (for maybe 30 days?) but then the funds change to be able to be withdrawn. I changed the default settings from $100 to $50 to see if it actually ends up in PayPal. It did (something like $88). I will change it back to $100 (or more) when I’ll get around it. I just wanted to make sure that everything was fine with the pay out end of things.
Congratulations on doing Zazzle full speed - very impressive!! 🙌🏽

The earned royalties have to be US sales, so anything not US sales is discounted in regards to PRO Badge. Meanwhile they can take a while re this. And very well done with this early success.
