Can anyone provide the proper way to share a zazzle product and collection on Instagram?  

 

Thank you

I don't know that there is a 'proper' way... you are free to get creative. I can give some pointers though. 

If you want to share directly from Zazzle you still need to use a mobile platform or a mobile emulator - there is not a direct sharing link for Instagram from Z's desktop version. 

You can however now post to Instagram from your normal desktop browser - I've been using it to post my personal in situ/cover photos that I've been creating for my products. 

No matter which method you choose, you'll need to write your own descriptions and put in your own hashtags. The only thing that goes over from Zazzle is the image. 

Instagram posts don't include live links ( 'stories' can possibly have live links, but I'm not fully versed with this type of post)  - you can put an active link to your store(s) in your bio. You can put a non-active link in your description, but customers will have to cut and paste this if they want to use it. 

how do you transfer an image from zazzle?  I tried a drag and drop and it was fuzzy.  I tried a screen shot and it was fuzzy.

On your phone, click once on the mock-up image (to zoom in) and then hold down your finger on the image for a few moments and then, on my phone, I get the option to download the image. From there you can post it to instagram. I have an Android phone if that makes a difference.

I have the same question. I do zazzle 100% on my computer. I do instagram on my phone and I feel like I should share some of my designs every now and then especially with this hashtag contest. I want to share from my computer when I am in zazzle mode. My phone ugh not so much.

Thanks for asking this question. I've never posted on Instagram and even though you can do it from a computer now it still isn't convenient. But at least I now know it's by design and not something I'm doing wrong.
