I Have been creating things at Zazzle for years now and finally this past month (December) I have hit an all time high (for me anyway) with my Sales.. More than tripled my last best month! I am so psyched it has jazzed me up to make even more stuff.. It has helped that the new Zazzle products are awesome and with all the new products I have made I have seen an incredible jump in how many products I actually sold this Holiday season. I love the new iPhone and iPad cases- they have been incredibly fun to make. They also have Necklaces now - I sold my first today. My "I'm Just Sayin'..." shirts are still my most popular product. (as seen on my profile page) So how many other Zazzlers are there here at myLot and have you had a good month in Holiday sales? What is your store name/username (I like to add to fan page) and what do you enjoy making?

@scarlet_woman Yea, and have you seen the Nat Geo stores.. Mainly what annoys me is the one where they are using amateur photographers works.. works they submit to a Nat Geo site.. and They are making money by selling those peoples pictures on Zazzle.. WTH? are they that hard up? those poor people.. I bet most of them don't realize that they signed away their rights just by sharing pictures they thought were good with other nature lovers

I have never heard of Zazzle - I think I will have to check this out & see if anyone from over the world can join. I love to knit & crochet....I just make what I feel like & list it for sale online & hope it sells...I haven't sold anything in about 6 months so I guess I just have to make things & work out what sells & what doesn't. I do like to do some beading too but it's way too time consuming when you have a 3 year old...I guess I could stick to making ear rings as they tend to sell well. Congrats on your sales

Thanks. Zazzle is a site where you create online and post in the zazzle marketplace... and so therefore don't have to make stuff and then sell online (or hope it sells) Your online stuff is there forever and can be purchased at anytime.. Zazzle will actually do the making, selling, shipping and you receive commission as a designer. Many photographers and artists use this as a way of getting their work out there. but anyone can zazzle. I use a combination of my photos and text. I have a Zazzle panel on my page that can show you some of the things you can make. Like T shirts, Mugs, Mouse pads, magnets, greeting and post cards, Binders, hats, shoes, even skateboards. And so much more. And it's actually a lot of fun.

I have never really heard of Zazzle (except maybe from you last year) and seeing it again has got me thinking that this could be a good way for me to be able to add to my revenue stream. I really like doing digital art so it definitely wouldn't be a far stretch for me to be able to do it. I really like the I'm Just Sayin shirt that you share on your profile as well. Is there a way that they walk you through designing on the site? I have a lot of digital work that I would probably be able to incorporate.

Yes, uploading and everything is easy steps. when making it your prompted to add your photo.. and then any text and you can choose from many colors and fonts for those... It is pretty easy.. and now they have even more thing for sale that give higher earnings when they sale.. I just tripled my earning from last year at this time.. because so many of the items I sold are bigger(more money) items.. like shoes and ipad and iphone cases.. so now when you get sales with those where talking dollars instead of cents commission like i was getting with the smaller items like cards and magnets and stuff.. although those still sell too.. I really think you would like it..

Hi. I just checked out your site and its pretty awesome. I actually started zazzle yesterday so I only have about 4 products up. Looking at all the designs is pretty intimidating, but its great that you can make absolutely anything. I'm anxious to see how the it goes, since I'm still a novice and all!

Awesome. what's your username there? I'll check it out.. I love it too.. I've been really excited about the iPhone and iPad cases I've been making lately.. but it's fun to make lots of stuff and even more exciting when it sells and you realize someone (sometimes on the other side of the world) is enjoying something you designed. :-)

I bet, I can't wait to sell my first item! The stuff I have right now are digital/hand drawn. I hope to improve more on the digital aspects of my artwork while also trying to figure out photoshop. I'm glad i found this website, it has inspired me to create more artwork, since I've been slacking off on it lately. hehe. My username is queendoline by the way. :)

I love doodling and have scrap book upon scrap book full of drawings. Lots of ppl ask me to design tattoos for them aswell. I love art but never took interest in pursuing it as i never thought there would be money in it! I think ill have to take a look at this site as i think ill have so much fun thanks!!!!

That's a great idea.. I wish I had even an inkling of artistic talent (drawing wise) but I have to settle for Photography.. Check it out.. it's easy to post your designs and lots of different things to sell them on.
