Idea: For those severly affected by recent challenge of covers/editors picks taking over marketplace

My idea for overcoming the much reported changes which (may) have resulted in full-timers (Zazzle being the only source of income) seeing a dramatic drop in income. As an example one reporting a drop of 78%, another a drop to 1 sale a day. Some are already seeking out other platforms due to concerns. I imagine Zazzle prosupport is being inundated with emails re this.

Idea: Create NICHE products (with covers) that do NOT compete with existing Editor/Zazzle select/Perfect gift products. And of course self-market to bring in referral income.

This will mean new sources of revenue for sellers and Zazzle - win-win.

Zazzle is a wonderful site and offers a unique platform to people who may otherwise not have an easy-ride earning income in the 'real-world' so to speak. Those with disabilities, chronic pain conditions, autism etc. Zazzle is a life-line for me and my family and I have always appreciated the non-discriminatory manner of such a platform that enables us to earn an income with the freedom of working from home with low overheads. We 'need' Zazzle. Our families that depend on us need Zazzle. 

Business is business and so I have never expected Zazzle to do anything other than what it believes will bring it the best results. And so let's be creative with how to work with the changes.

This is one idea, other's may have more. Please share them here.

That's a good idea. While the landing page for most products will be full of editor's picks/cover photos, specific searches have far less. The more specific the search, the fewer editor's picks/cover photos.
