While Zazzle forum is locked down you can use the SHD Discord server

[JimCarnicelli]

Scott recently announced that this entire forum will be locked into a read-only mode until January 6th. If you'd like a place to meet other Zazzlers discussing Zazzle stuff you can join Snuggle Hamster Designs's own Discord server:

https://discord.gg/4A3yYkJFwe

You don't have to have an SHD account. There's no paywall. Free to all of you. And most of what we discuss is general Zazzle stuff with occasional interludes for SHD specifics.

Happy holidays all around. Cheers!

I highly recommend this community. The members have been very welcoming and VERY helpful. lol

SHD has some cool options you can pursue on their website, but you don't have to open an "agency" in order to hang out on the discord server! I hadn't joined their website--and wasn't sure if I would--when I joined the discord. They welcomed me anyway and were such a good group of creators, I decided to go ahead and join their site, too. I'm on the FREE plan, and I have already gained a lot of insight. I plan on making a lot of updates to my Zazzle stores before Mid-January based on what I've learned from the group and with their tools, so I'm ready when (hopefully) those Valentine's sales get rolling. 🙂

Hope you'll join us.

Ditto to everything @Amanda23 said. Like her I signed up at Snuggle Hamster as a free account, and then joined their Discord immediately. I was greeted so quickly I thought I might be talking to a bot, LOL. Despite being brand new to both Discord and Snuggle Hamster, they were warm and welcoming and patient with my questions. Do drop in. And typing fast here on the edge of hitting read-only time ...

You won't find a friendlier and more helpful bunch anywhere! ♥

SHD Discord channel is awesome.

SHD discord channel is awesome to hang out and talk to other creators. SHD is a great alternative for me as I don't have a website to showcase Zazzle products .  You can bundle products into grouping with same design, you can create collections and there is a featured collection on SHD platform. Whether paid or free there is something for everyone.  On days when Zazzle is behind with indexing you can upload your design ahead on SHD.
