Hoping for Holiday Sales at Zazzle / myLot

Rustic Elegance Wood and Roses Pillow at Zazzle

Hartford, Connecticut

November 29, 2020 1:23am CST

I'm hoping an praying for some sales at Zazzle. I could really use some extra money. I was out sick for 3 days with a kidney stone, then I took a week of Vacation the following week (which overlapped half of one pay week and half of another) So I could be there for my new born puppies. So basically I have had the crappiest 3 weeks of paychecks in a row that I can remember. I had high hopes for Zazzle but - Black Friday let me down only making 3 sales and a little over $3 and then one sale Saturday for just over a dollar.. I am not getting rich anytime soon. I know I should be grateful for the $103 bucks I have now but I really hoped Christmas sales would bring in a bit more. I need to replace that cash I lost in my paychecks. I am still cranking out designs... in case SOME people out there are shopping. And crossing my fingers. Here is a photo of a Pillow I designed last week .. I love the way it turned out.. I hope it starts selling...eventually...

That's really beautiful! I can't sew, so I could never make this.

It is not sewn. It is made using photos. it's a design I put together and then when someone buys it. Zazzle will produce the pillow and ship it and I get a commission for the design.

@prinzcy Yes it is a Print On Demand site. you use photos or artwork and you can place them on hundreds of products that you post for sale. if someone buys something you get a percentage. it takes a bit of work and it's good if you share your designs to some place like Pinterest or something so people can see them and may get interested in buying..

This is lovely. I also love sewing but haven't done it for a long time because I don't have a sewing machine as of now and I have a lot of work to do. But I am still planning to buy a machine and start sewing again. I hope your business brings good income in the coming holiday. Stay safe

Thank you.. this design is all done with the use of photos however. there is no sewing.. at least by me, involved. Zazzle will make the product and ship it out. I just have to make the design and post the photo

@minx267 That's interesting! This kind of earning opportunity is new to me. I design and sew before. But as of now I can't do it because of my day job. But I would love to do it again.
