Help from Experienced Zazzle Users – Tips for Improving My Store

[Elara]

I'm new to Zazzle, and I'm excited to start my journey here and improve my store. I’d love to get some tips from you to enhance my visibility and increase traffic:

What are the best ways to get my products to appear in search results on Zazzle?

How can I create designs that attract customers and stand out?Are there any marketing strategies within the platform or outside to boost sales?

Any tips for advertising and promotion?

If anyone has similar experiences or useful advice, I'd really appreciate it! I'm just starting, and any help will be valuable.
I’ve also created some products, and I’d love to hear your thoughts on them! Here’s the link to my store: https://www.zazzle.com/store/madefory0u
Thank you all in advance for your time and assistance, and I’m excited to grow on Zazzle!😍

Welcome to Zazzle and the Product On Demand (POD) business. First I'd like to tell you everything you desire but it's a tall order. It's like standing in the middle of a collage campus and asking everyone you see, "how do I make the most of my collage days, how do I live with a roommate, how do I learn about my classes, how do I learn how to use the dining hall..." You get the idea.

Let's start with educating yourself on Zazzle Help Center. You'll find the link to the right of your post in Creator Links. Read everything there. You can start with how to create Categories within your stores so you don't drive yourself insane.

If you have more questions you can use the "search" function on these forums because many others before you have asked many questions that you may encounter.

If you don't see a specific question or answer use this forum for that one question with your own post.

Some people will tell you to use YouTube for advice. There are a lot of good videos and some that are deceiving or just flat out wrong. So if you are looking there to learn something you can always run it by other creators on this forum to see if the advice is legit.

And lastly, if you plan to use this platform as a business you must grow a thick skin. There is no get rich quick in the POD business. There is a ton to learn, have patience, as well as, actually implementing what is given for advice is needed. Learn the basics of graphic design and how to use fonts properly. There are "rules" for these topics and if you don't know them you may not see the results you want with your sales.

Enjoy the process and have fun. If it's not fun... don't do it. 💐

I see that on one of your products you have four photos, but your personalize button only allows replacement of two of the images. I would suggest checking each of your products to verify that all the personalize options needed, are available to the shopper.

I just started sharing to a new site called Benable and I am loving it so far, I think getting in early is key to beating some heavy traffic later because you will be one of the early birds to have an established account. I also highly recommend Pinterest, Benable is very similar but like a fresh new spin and without character restrictions. Here's my link if you'd like to check it out. You can skip the waitlist and create your own shareable lists by signing up using my invite link: https://benable.com/i/TPQUX

Best of luck to you and welcome to Zazzle!
