مرحبًا بالجميع،
أنا جديد على Zazzle، وبدأ العمل يوميًا على متجري الواسع النطاق.
كنت أتساءل بدافع الفضول وللاستفادة من تجاربكم كم من الوقت تمكنتم من تحقيق أول عملية بيع لكم؟ هل كان ذلك من خلال زيارة العضوية من الموقع أم من خلال الترويج الخارجي؟

وعلم أن رحلة كل شخص تتراوح، لكن سمعت قصصكم ستكون مُشجعًا ومفيدًا للغاية.
شكرا مُقدمًا لكل من يُشارك!

@moh521 A warm welcome to you! 🙂

I would post a translation of your note for all here but I’m not allowed to do that because I have asked ChatGPT to translate it for me and content generated by AI 🤖 is not permitted here in this forum.

To answer your question:

I have joined Zazzle on November 11th 2023. 54 days later - on January 4th 2024 I have made my first sale. My store had a zRank of 3 at that time and my first customer found my item through the Zazzle marketplace (assumingely). But I have promoted my products on many Social Media platforms (see signature line) and much more so actively in the beginning of my Zazzle adventure. I have slowed down a lot since then and today I’m actually at a point where I’m not very motivated anymore to do any promotion, sigh. April first really broke my enthusiasm (a lot) but I still love the Zazzle interface and I will stick around a bit longer - just not going full force anymore.

I wish you much success in your journey!! 🙂

I know we're not supposed to post AI on the forums, but I don't think there's anything prohibiting good old Google Translate, so here's the original message:

Hello everyone,
I'm new to Zazzle and have just started working daily on my large-scale store.
I was curious, and hoping to learn from your experiences, how long did it take you to make your first sale? Was it through organic traffic from the site or external marketing?

I know everyone's journey is different, but hearing your stories will be incredibly encouraging and helpful.
Thank you in advance to everyone who participates!

And in answer to your question. I made my first designs in mid-late 2017 - but I wasn't seriously looking for sales at that point, I was just playing with it trying to understand the platform. Turned out I couldn't use it for my original idea, so I just posted a couple of designs and promptly forgot all about it. About a year later I got an email from Zazzle telling me I'd sold something. Honestly, I didn't even remember that Zazzle was the site I'd played around on, so I thought the message was spam and deleted it. A few weeks later I got another message that I'd made another sale and finally realized it wasn't spam! Didn't start seriously designing until the beginning of 2019 and it took until July of that year before I made enough to get paid. 

That's my story - no idea how typical it is!
