Not sure what you mean when you write you need help knowing the application a little better.  Can you be more specific?

 

well in general how can i make my first sales how can i boost my views and so on..

 

I am fairly new at Zazzle also, but was told that those who make a lot of sales, do a lot of self promoting.  In the Affiliated Requests section you can also have other Creators promote your product.  I was also told it takes some time before you see regular sales.  I don't do a lot of self promoting and also don't post much in the Affiliated Request section, but after being with Zazzle about a year and a half, I had quite a few sales already.  However I do not have steady sales.  Sometimes I have months were I don't have any sales.  I am retired, so creating designs and selling a Zazzle is more like a hobby for me.  Therefore, I don't put too much time into promoting.

Welcome! I am not sure I understand your sentence. But do take a look at my blog if you are interested in making postcards. I have been following postcard collectors online to learn what kinds of things they want to see on cards and what kinds of things they do not want to see. Also, when I search Zazzle for postcards I find a massively large number of low effort postcards. So my tip would be, make sure the image you use fits the product and looks good on it. Here's more detail. https://podpostcard.blogspot.com/p/make-better-cards.html

I visited your store and looked at one T-shirt,

Your title and description read:
Title - Cute dog T-shirt

Description - Cool dog shirt
 
You need to make your titles unique. For this one I would use "Cute dog in pocket" - perhaps include the type of dog.
Descriptions should describe the image. "Cute white dog hanging out of simulated green breast pocket"
I didn't look at your tags, but they should definitely include - dog, type of dog, pocket, green, puppy, canine ...
