🚀 Question for the pros: What really changes after 1,000 products? And after 10,000?

[mahmoud3]

Hey friends 😊

I’d really love to hear from the more experienced Zazzlers here.

When you hit certain milestones like 100, 500, or 1,000 products — did you notice a big shift? More views, more consistent sales, or maybe just a boost in confidence that you’re on the right path?

I keep wondering: after reaching 1,000 designs, is it common to start seeing daily sales… or is it not always the case?

And for those amazing people who’ve gone past 10,000 products 😲👏 — what felt different at that stage compared to the early days?

Also, for anyone doing Zazzle full-time, I’m super curious: what does your typical day look like? Do you follow a routine that keeps you both productive and creative?

Thanks a lot in advance 🙏

Your insights will definitely help me and many others still building our journey here ❤️

Quality over quantity is what I have learned over the years. In the past we used to create a lot of similar product types so we could offer  a variety of color options and product types etc ( we had quick create and could create 100 products instantly) to minimize the customer having to do design work themselves... they just complete text fields etc but now I think more customers feel comfortable having a tweak with design tools and they can transfer designs to alternative products themselves more easily. 

At the end of the day it's not how many products you have especially if they're low value and no one wants them. You don't sell more just because you have more. 

You need to study the market to see what people want and refine your design skills to deliver what they want. Then you need to be a seo guru and a marketing expert to help them reach your target market. 

Things have changed a lot over the years. It is not even close to how it once was.
