zazzl doesn't work

[Vladyslava]

Hello everyone, I have no views at all in the store. my store does not bring results at all, there are no sales, although I work hard on my store and spend a lot of time on it, but the result is 0. I don’t know what to do with it anymore, I don’t want to give up, but I’m running out of energy to invest in a business that doesn’t bring result. Please share your experience, do you think it is worth continuing or not. Thanks

Your artwork is really quite lovely, so there's nothing wrong there at all. I think your problem may be in titles and tags. For instance, you have a poster series of "Modern Minimalist Colorful...", all of them having the same title with only a change in the color name. They all have these tags: abstract, geometric, modern, minimalism, contemporary, modern minimalist, art, decor, watercolour, floral.

When naming and tagging, you want to come up with words and phrases customers will use when they search. Each of those posters is of a specific plant, but you haven't added the plant's name to either title or keywords. With minimalistic designs such as these, it can truly difficult to come up with ways to draw in customers, but I'm fairly sure this is your one and only problem. I noticed the same thing in your baby t-shirts. The titles and keywords are way too general. What are the images on those shirts? One, for instance, appears to be a gumdrop, but you haven't used "gumdrop" or "candy."

Work on titles and keywords, and then you might find customers will show up.

thanks for your advice i will try that

I'm bed ridden with covid 19 right now so I'll keep this a short answer:
Zazzle most definitely works!  It's not not a get rich quick thing 🙂  If you stick with it, work hard, work smart, keep your store active with FRESH new content on a regular basis and get a social media account setup somewhere and consistently post new information on a daily basis..... all this increases your chances of success on this platform. There is one thing though: people have to like your products.... maybe an affiliate likes it so much they start to promote it? Maybe your products are so well liked people start sharing it with others and it goes viral?
I've been on this platform since 2009. Success did not come easy or fast. But I do have success.

I wish your site future success

Wishing you a quick recover so you are healthy and back on your feet. And I will reiterate it takes time for some of us to get a good footing here. 

[Vladyslava]

I hope you'll get better soon. Thanks for your feedback)

[gardenstyle]

In other words your products have not suddenly gone to 0 views for 7 days during the peak season.

I think it depends on how much one is expecting to earn.  Some people would not call it a success if they haven't made at least $30,000 a year after being with Zazzle for more than a decade.  Others, like me, are doing this just as a hobby and will be o.k. with less than that.

@VladyslavaThere is so much to know and learn about running an online Zazzle business. It's far more than just putting your designs/art on a product and letting them sit. The link I'll provide goes to a free Podcast from women who make their money teaching people how to earn money from Zazzle. Their podcasts are free and have tools you can use to help you move further along in your business.

The free podcasts

Hello LM Gildersleeve-

Are you having the problem with 0 views? Can you tell us if this is a sitewide problem?

[LMGildersleeve]

Try going through their Main page HERE >> Podcasts >> Half way down the page there is a Browse All Episodes button.

Yes or no to what?

[gardenstyle]

I asked @LMGildersleeve above you the direct question has she been impacted  by this and she won't answer but is trying to send the afflicted to her ladies on you tube to teach you how to make money on Zazzle, where of course they also get money if you go to their channel.

@gardenstyle  LM got caught up in your other post is all that happened. Everyone is being affected by the lack of stats. You can see it in the technical forum. Zazzle has an indexer problem at the moment. The one that takes care of stats has been wobbly for quite a long time, but this is the worst episode yet.

Thank you for setting me straight on that. Nevertheless 8 days with no sales is a week without income, and others have said everything will be slow for the next three weeks. I have received a fake referral and lost a Z for which I slaved. The length of time explains why no one viewed my Autumn designs either.

@gardenstyleI misunderstood what you expected of me.

Have I been effected by anything happening on Zazzle? No, my earnings are normal to high this season. I'm doing well because what I have learned from those women I posted a link too. My intention is not for you to purchase anything but to give you some teachings from the free content available to you.

[gardenstyle]

Thank you. I was moving along well until two months ago. Glad to know you are doing well.

[gardenstyle]

Well, I think I just got a sympathy sale. Thank you for liking my Provence Bouquet. You are a good ambassador, and clearly sincere.

[Vladyslava]

I talked with many people and I realized that now no one is displaying views

[gardenstyle]

There are 900,000 people on Zazzle. I experienced a similar situation once under other circumstances. We are not all on the same server. It would not be possible. The "everyone" affected are on the same server. It should not be difficult to identify which server is disconnected or lacking in bandwidth, since there are plenty of people here to trace which server hosts their store.

[Signa]

I have 0 Views if it makes you feel better but I haven't shared with friends or family yet because I still have at least 200 of my designs to still put up.

Vladyslava,

I have been here, now beginning 7 years. I have an additional website featuring a few hundred of my products which is always refreshed, and a large pinterest board and a Facebook Store, all for Zazzle. My tags and keyword and indexing is not a problem because I worked SEO for medical practices many years. I have invested money in artwork I can't produce myself to incorporate into designs with artwork I produce. Most of all, I have invested enormous time for six full years, netting about $4,300. I figure, after 7 years I am 1/6 of the way to Silver Pro. I would much rather work for Martha Stewart, since for Zazzling, I have learned new skills in textile design. I am satisfied with my work after six years. There is always hope the right scout will come along and "see the dollar sign in you," and offer you a job. I have never been "commercial." It means waiting for the people who see your talent and will help you. An artist who goes their own way always has a harder time being seen, without a patron.

I low key thought I’d immediately get views and sales too. Lol. I have a few views from ones I’ve posted personally on Facebook but that’s it so far. Still trying though!  You got this, keep going!  Here is my link in case anyone wants to offer me advice as well. I’d greatly appreciate it!

@Daisy  Your art is is excellent, your titles are fine, and you make sure to pack in the keywords. Just keep on truckin', girl! 😃

Because I've a love for primitive art (a la Grandma Moses), I took special notice of your own. I've no idea how well it sells, but it's worth checking in the marketplace, and if it seems to sell, then make more. Looking at the keywords for one of them, I noticed you didn't use "country style" or primitive. Maybe it would help if you did. Or maybe not, but it's worth a try.

Very good tips thank you! 

[Barbara]

I just now tried to find the site I like to use when searching for keywords. Unfortunately, the link is on my computer but I'm using my husband's. However, in testing one of several I found, I discovered another keyword for you: "folk art." I really need to do this sort of thing for myself, too. I have products that no one will find unless I work on those darned tags.
