I was scrolling through leggings at marketplace today and discovered that there is a blind spot in the mockup designs and that blind spot is probably costing creators sales.  When leggings are shown styled as activewear / fitness the customers may scroll past thinking “I have enough workout gear” I am not sure why creators don’t show the legging or tank top in different mockups such as a casual shopping at the mall or work at the office look. In my opinion I think showing the mockups styled with different fashion looks would help sell the top or legging.  (Attract another customer) not just activewear.  Isn’t it better to sell a possibility, with your mockup by showing them “this legging isn’t just activewear” In my opinion I think you might sell more leggings and tank tops if you showed the customer how to put together the casual, business, or date night look.   ( I am adding  3 fashion look mockups to products to show customer how to create a unique style) I want to create a need for a product, I want to sell style, plus active or jean looks.   This is what I am working on… Business look Chic Abstract Gold Dusting on Black by FunkyAbstract_Gifts     Seasonal Look Autumn Leaves on Black by Susang6 Shopping Look Black and Silver Glitter Zebra Print Chic by Susang6 Dressy Casual look Abstract Copper Feather Print on Black by FunkyAbstract_Gifts ...

I’m looking at ways to make my store profile more transparent for customers. I have a spotlight post written about me on Blogger that shares my design history and creative journey. I’d like to add that link to my Zazzle store so buyers can see the background behind my work. For me, transparency builds trust. Customers aren’t just buying a product  they’re connecting with the person who created it. By sharing my journey, I hope to show that my designs come from experience, teaching, and a clear creative process. Has anyone here added a personal spotlight or blog link to their store profile? Would you recommend putting it in the “Website” field or in the “About Me” section?  (the link would not be clickable and customer would have to do a copy paste) Thanks for any advice I want to make sure customers can learn more about me in a way that feels professional and trustworthy. ...

Did people see a Black Friday week bounce on Zazzle? I saw increased sales on Amazon Merch, TeePublic and Redbubble. I didn't see it on Zazzle. In fact compared to last year, I did 60% less in sales revenue this November on Zazzle. Zazzle used to be my best earner, and I understand the economy is bad, but Zazzle appear to have...how can I put it? Soiled the bed.   ... View more

I have been keeping a blog for a few years, but the posts were never regular. However, I decided to work earnestly at it in June of this year - and since then I have been creating a new post every day. My posts would be on a variety of subjects, all chosen because I could use products from Zazzle to illustrate each subject. Using the clever Affiliate Helper Tool I would be able to paste around 40 product images with links into each article. I would normally then spread them evenly throughout the text. Having devoted so much time on the blog I decided to look at Google Search Console to see how I was performing.   At the beginning of August I had 40 pages Not Indexed, and 30 pages that were Indexed. To my horror, yesterday I found that I had 115 pages Not Indexed, and only 7 Indexed! Therefore previous pages that HAD been indexed have now been removed from the indexing! Yesterday I ran all this information through ChatGPT. I also Showed ChatGPT the HTML of several pages, asking it to evaluate and explain the problem. It advised me that the most likely reason was that I had too many affiliate links - even though they have “No Follow” built into them. So I have now been working hard going through each article and removing the Zazzle affiliate links. Instead, I have created another blog to run alongside, with indexing turned off from search engines, and I am using this to create Gallery pages - each devoted to a subject allied to each article in my main blog.  I decorate the old blog pages with product images still, (but only 2 or 3). These images and their captions link to the new Gallery pages, each with rel:NoFollow instructions. (I ran this theory through ChatGPT first and  was advised that it was "a smart strategy".  Of course it will take time for Google to reconsider the blog pages and hopefully index them again, and to help them speed things up I am creating a “Summary page” at the end of each month that contains descriptions and links to all the posts from that month. (ChatGPT easily writes the HTML for this - I simple give it the post links from a spreadsheet I compile.) Then I submit the Summary page to Google for review, knowing that it will follow all the links contained therein. Here’s the Summary page I have done for August. It is simply text only to feed the links to Google easily.  ... View more

My issue: While I was editing a Pinterest pin, I noticed "https:go.skimresources.com" in front of my copied and pasted link from Zazzle. This appeared in every manual pin on the top 4-5 rows. They were pinned in the last week or so. I initially thought someone was hijacking my link. I've tried contacting Zazzle and Pinterest on this but got a standard reply to clear my cache. lol According to Google, that is what is happening. Pinterest would be getting my extra commission if I made a sale.   Has anyone run into this? This is my first post to community so if I've done something incorrectly, don't be too harsh. ...

Hi, I recently had customers buy only one wedding card. Maybe they only want to see, how it looks real. But my opinion is they buy only one, drop at a copy shop, so they safe money. To even safe more money, customize it, make a screenshot, cut it to the right size and go to the copy shop. With this in mind, I tried it with my own design, one with a screenshot, one with a purchase. They looked nearly the same. And it is very fine if you might send it digital.  It is only an idea, because people want to safe money because of the inflation, and many of them need to do it.  Can zazzle do something against this? It is just a thinking out of the box. Have you thaught about this problem, too? ... View more

I am SO SO FRUSTRATED right now!  Don’t bother working 7 days a week promoting your designs on your blog or social media, or wasting time creating polished mock-up images. Don’t even bother putting in the extra effort customizing for clients and then sending them direct links with your own Ambassador ID. No matter what you do, you’ll still see unexplained third-party sales — even when the product is private and shared only through your link. And now, with royalties capped at just 10%, it’s hardly worth the effort. Try asking why your expected referrals don’t appear in your earnings, and the answer will always be the same: Zazzle claims it’s “beyond their control” how customers navigate and interact with the site. So why even create an Ambassador Program to boost earnings if creators aren’t protected in the slightest? ... View more
