Who’s smart and who’s smarter? 🤔

They say the smart person learns from their own mistakes…

but the smarter one learns from the mistakes of others.

I thought this could be a great reminder for us here. We all make mistakes along the way — whether it’s with designs, SEO, marketing, or just figuring out how Zazzle works.

So why not share some of those lessons?

👉 What’s one mistake you made when starting out that you wish others could avoid?

It could really help a lot of beginners (myself included 😅) and save everyone time and frustration.

Looking forward to hearing your stories — let’s learn from each other! 🙌

@mahmoud3 Creating rated products because nobody will ever see them since Zazzle‘s filter does rarely (or not at all) work. I wasted so much time and effort for nothing.

That is a great one. Never minding random shoppers browsing the site having no idea there's a filter they need to turn off so they wont see anything rated over the basic G it defaults to, they won't be able to see anything even with a direct link to it unless 1) you tell them about the filter and how to adjust it and 2) that actually works. Mine hasn't worked since I first posted the issue to Tech back in April 2024.

@ColsCreations @mahmoud3 So true. I even created a „help“ page (https://sanfrancisco.zone/help/) on my domain to educate my customers. And I occasionally posted about it in the forum but it seems its definitely not a priority for Zazzle to look into that one. So why even offer a rated section at all? 🤷🏽‍♀️

But I still love Zazzle with all it’s many features, in my opinion it’s still unmatched if I compare it to other platforms.
