How to Promote on Zazzle? Any Advice?

Hi there, I’ve recently started creating coffee mugs on Zazzle with motivational quotes that have a touch of fun. However, none of my mugs have gotten any views or sales yet. I’ve tried promoting them on Facebook and YouTube as well, but it hasn’t helped. Do you have any advice? Could there be something wrong with my designs? Here’s my store link: https://www.zazzle.com/store/fa_creations.

I followed your stores and liked some of your products. 
There’s no secret to be successful on Zazzle, just hard work, patience and perseverance. 
Create high quality designs, work on your keywords and promote on socials. 
Create more products, because you don’t have many in your store. 
A lot of people sell funny mugs like you, so it’s a quite competitive domain, then you have to create very high quality designs to get noticed.

Good Luck!

Thank you so much for liking my designs! I really appreciate it and will definitely create more products. By the way, could you please guide me on where I can find the best keywords for Zazzle?

First thing I noticed on your designs is that the text is quite small. Since your designs are based on sayings, I think the text should be larger for the design to have more impact on viewers

And while we're at it, I think your stores should be consolidated. You're selling the cute quotes, not necessarily the products, so having separate stores for quotes that can easily transfer from product to product is double the work on your end. Concentrate instead on the design and promotion end. I agree with the size issues. Minimalist is cool, but a little designy color or maybe background patterns would change it up a bit as well. There's definitely a lot of design competition in your category, but not everyone is a marketing genius, so exploring other social marketing options is the squeaky wheel that gets the grease.

it's a very competitive niche, when you search "funny mug" = you find 338.000 results ! you are drowned in an ocean of mugs.   I like your mugs but some can't be read, you need to use a bigger font, bold and sans serif, with some fun design, or something your customers can personalize, like their names, or a birth date, something very personal for them.  you have to be patient and spend a lot of time creating. 15 designs are not enough to go back through the Zazzle algorithm, several elements come into play. If you go to your Zaeele store home page, at the right you can find "store completion" in percentage, it's very important to be at 100% and to be ranked at 5.
