new rates and Zazzle problems

[RjFxx-Creations]

Hi everyone,

I have a reasonable intelligence but I am very confused by these extremely long winded explanation of Ambassador

program and the other program, it's just like the huge explanation of Cover Photo's which I'm still confused by and not yet working correctly for me. Also I'm not getting replies to my questions from Zazzle, I'm waiting 5 days now for an answer, when is my 2024 tax form coming? Also does anyone else have continuous tech problems? My sales over the last year have gone down by 75% each month and I don't know why or how to fix the problem. Before my sales were steadily increasing each month since I started on Zazzle! What happen??? I'm beside myself with worry as this income is required. All the best to my fellow creators!

The Ambassador program is basically this:  
If you promote your own products, you can use a clean link (one with no referral code) and earn a higher percentage referral on your sale. This used to be the Promoter Program and we earned a flat 35%.  Now, there are % brackets found here. These are the max you can make on the sale and it includes your royalty and referral amounts.  If someone purchases YOUR product on this link, you'll get the self referral. If they purchase a product from another seller, you get nothing. 

If you promote other people's products, you'll want to add your referral ID to the links. When someone clicks through and purchases anything, you'll get 15%. 

I don't know about your tax form, but if you get paid through PayPal,  you may be able to find it in your account there. 

As for sales decreasing, you're not alone. The economy is not great right now and there's a lot of uncertainty about the future. I don't expect this to get much better for a while. 😞

Thank you tiffjamaica for the helpful info BUT I still don't know how to find the different  ID: links, even where to look

From what I understand, they get added automatically when you share someone else-s product. When you share your own, it's just the clean link with nothing added.

@Connie  I don't know about that. I am not in the "ambassador" program and the RF (is that what is discussed here, or am I misunderstanding?) is not added. Neither for my own products and also not for other's products.

I think what you're asking is maybe where to find your referral ID?  Go to MY ACCOUNT, then there are three tabs (My Account, Ambassadors, Earnings) - click on Ambassadors and you'll find your unique Ambassador ID. It explains how to add that as a referral code. 

Does that help?

Even though I got my 1099-MISC, I checked my PayPal account and found that there were no 1099's there. However, you can do your taxes anyway. Just add up the amounts you were paid each month from Jan. 2024 through Dec. 2024 to find out what should have been on your 1099 had you received it.
