Make good products that are original, legal, and desirable to the market niche you are targeting. Make lots of them. Then make more. Work hard. Then work harder.

Add time plus sweat plus creativity plus determination. Then work harder. Then promote the stuff that you have worked hard on. Then do it all again.

Rinse. Repeat.

Looks to me like most, if not all, of your images have been taken from other places on the internet. Can't do that. Like cowboyannie said, you stuff has to be original and legal.

I echo the above sentiments. There is a LOT of great information here in the forums and helpful people to assist when help is needed.

Keep in mind that it is always better to have QUALITY over QUANTITY.

To be taken as a serious shopkeeper one needs to use discretion in designing. This includes having crisp, high quality images. If your image appears even slightly blurry on your image preview it is not likely someone will want to purchase it.

I noticed that you have used the handy quick create tool, which is great, but keep in mind that not all images "work" on all products.

For example, very often you will hear other shopkeepers mention that square or block-type images do not sell well on t-shirts or ties (the image is often too small to be distinguished on a tie).

Also, some designs are not appropriate for certain products (such as your design with the image and text "also available in sober" and your pole dancer design with the text "I support single Moms" which are both available on a baby onsie. This is just a guess, but that design is probably NOT going to sell on a toddler shirt either).

When you use the quick create tool you can delete products that are not appropriate for your image by ticking the box and then clicking on the delete products towards the top of the page. By doing this you can avoid having your adult-themed images on toddler and baby products as they are not appropriate and probably won't sell anyway. Having those images on all products creates clutter in your shop and lessens the potential that your customers will take you as a "serious" seller.

Most of all, use the tools and tutorials available here at Zazzle to your advantage in order to make yourself a successful shopkeeper. Wishing you much success in your endeavor Roses

It looks like most of your products were copied from the internet.... and are blown up....they looked distored and grainy. Not only can you not do that, but most of these products, if bought, will end up getting returned. You can not copy off the internet.

This is one products that Im speaking of, which is blurry, grainy and distorted.....and looks terrible on the mousepad. http://www.zazzle.com/sweet_friday_mousepad-144916424777191521


So my advice is to get rid of all your products that you copied from the internet and make some quality ones of your own...before someone reports you and Zazzle closes your store.

How did it even get submitted (the mousepad)... didn't Zazzle put something in place to keep products with the triangles from being able to be put up for sale or did I just imagine that?

They do, but unfortunately it doesn't stop you enlarging it in a graphics program first... Zazzle's * stopper can't tell the difference between a correctly sized image with a correctly sized design on it, and a correctly sized image with a stretched to hell image on it!

The majority of people who take images from the internet won't bother... some will though, and indeed have.

Besides what else has been stated here's a couple of easy tips.


Create a Facebook fan page for your store or use the mymerch feature. Invite some friends and have them pass the word around.

or

Take out an ad on Facebook and spend a little cash on marketing.


Also you can start a free blog and showcase your designs and perhaps come up with funny stories about the designs. You can even have your facebook fan page import the blog posts into the Notes which can in turn upate a twitter feed as well.

Keep on Keeping on
