Just in time for my Twentieth Anniversary on Zazzle, I suddenly see that the backend seems to be all cleaned up! THANK YOU, Tech Team!

Congrats, Windy!  That's impressive.

And yes, it looks like the duplicates are gone for now - fingers crossed! Thanks to the Zazzle team for fixing - maybe we can have a productive Friday and weekend.

Happy Anniversary Windy. I guess I'm in the same boat with you. 🙂 I looked at my earnings and my first sale was in 2004. I didn't even realize it until I looked. 

I found this old article online about Zazzle's start. https://www.forbes.com/forbes/2006/0109/050.html

Awesome! I looked at my very first created product and that is where I found the date. Took a long time for anything to sell after that, though. I thought there was a spot in my profile which showed my join date, but today I can't see day and month. I can find only the year, and I am able to see that when I click on my profile icon in the upper right, to the left of the shopping cart. There it says Member Since 2005.  Occasionally someone will mention in the forums that they started here in 2006, but I had not seen anyone starting in 2004. You may well be the earliest user still active here!

The article is fascinating. I had not seen that before.

It says I joined Zazzle in another year, I have no idea why. I actually found Zazzle when I was on CP, making stuff for myself, so I decided to open shops in both places. Another side note, I do remember when Zazzle sold Postage Stamps.

I was working another full time job at the time, so I decided to just keep the shops open and I worked on them both alittle at a time. I've had shops come and go and I (just like you) have seen alot of changes with Zazzle, some good, some bad. I left CP a long time ago and I retired in 2020, so I decided to devote more time to Zazzle. I enjoy working on Zazzle, spending time with my family and it all keeps me pretty busy. 🙂

Funny. you should mention the postage stamps. That was my first sale. Whether it was also my first made product, I cannot know because the listing has been removed and  I can't see the data.  My stamp was a crazy concept, a one-off, just a weird fun thing and I was surprised when it sold, which happened on October 11, 2006. Someone bought two!

[plumb4me]

I think I only sold 2 stamps the whole time they were on Zazzle, one patriotic and one Christmas. I even remember when there was an actual ruler in the design area, I miss that. I don't miss the old crop way, it is so much better now.

@plumb4me  Thanks for posting this article - it was quite informative and interesting. 👍🏽🙂

And wow to you too!! 🎉

[Connie]

Wow, I didn't even know Zazzle existed way back then! I didn't even have a computer then!

[Andrea]

Amazebobs! You stuck with it, well done! 

[orientcourt]

Twenty years at Zazzle Windy, what a milestone ! So much has changed here since then. Little competition = more sales ,time for gathering friends plus computer knowlege gathered along the way ! Zazzle should send a bouquet of flowers to your doorstep in appreciation 🌻💐
