You are my hero and inspiration Customizables! I've worked thirty years as a psychiatric nurse, on the front lines, no cushy office job...and I'm also hoping one day I can Zazzle full time. My body's giving out, and the job is now a lot less fun and satisfaction than it used to be. So I applaud you and hope for the day I can join you...metaphorically speaking...on that couch with a lap top and a blanket, and my favourite beverage on hand!

I am just wondering how much Zazzle seller need to make $$$ in order to leave their full time job behind???
5000~10000USD????
And how to ensure regular sales every month?? That very hard.
And u did it. Congrats.

I only need to make about $500 a month to pay my bills and live comfortably, but I live in a very poor county in a rather poor state, so the cost of living is low. I also don't have any credit card debt, student loans, or other debts to pay off. (lucky me!)
As for making regular sales every month, I don't. There's good months and bad months, so you save when you have extra so that you have something to pay the bills with during the lean times. If I have a REALLY bad month, I take up odd jobs to make up the difference. Helping my dad is hard work, and he doesn't pay much, but it's better than going back to Wal-Mart! lol

Customizables,
You are such an inspiration, I've own my own biz for 4 years but still can't say it's profitable. You have inspired me to keep going and not to give up.
I not only want to say congrats but thank you.

I so know where you are at I am a nurse not psych in Aged Care and my body has all but given out so I look at Zazzle as a long time companion, I know I won't make heaps in a hurry and I have a lot to learn with photography,graphics and getting the word out there. I wish you so much goodluck

You have given me inspiration to continue doing what I am! I live in a state where jobs are scarce, don't pay much and they act like they own every minute of your life! Between my clay art and zazzle I make enough to help keep us out of debt but not enough to get us ahead of the game, I would be ecstatic to make 500 a month!!  Thank you so much for your inspiration and congrats to you!! Charlyn
