I'm just going to come out and ask it, since it's been on my mind and other shopkeepers have also been asking.

Is there anybody here who makes good money with Zazzle? To me, good money is over $1,000/month. $2,000/month is idealistic. Any of you high rollers out there, please respond and give us n00bs some encouragement.

I can't begin to imagine how many 'bulk' orders you might need to clear that kind of money...I'm happy to make the minimum at the moment.

On a related subject is there any list of 'top/best selling users' or anything? Or at the least, 'most popular'? I'm still finding my way around Zazzle.

The only thing I've ever seen is on the 'Participate' page near the bottom http://www.zazzle.com/mk/participate

No way. Just no freakin' way. Coatsofarms made 86,771 new products this WEEK?!?! How is that even possible????

Is there some trick to speeding up the designing process that I am unaware of, cos if so - please tell me!!

Not a clue, I'm lucky to get 5 up and they do that almost every week. Frankly I had no idea there were that many names with a Coat of Arms

Waaaiiit a minute... those numbers aren't right.

It says that Worldtees made 17,227 new products this week, but if you go to their gallery and view all the products, there's only 189. What's that about?

animals4acause had 23577 but when I viewed I only found 1, maybe they're not 'G' rated so I can't see them?

Thanks for the link. Hopefully they do a top sellers category some day.

And yeah some of those statistics seem a bit messed up... I have my account set to view up to PG-13 at the moment and still can't see more than one product on the animal one. Maybe it still counts if you create a product and then delete it after....

And the coat of arms place, maybe coats-of-arms are in the public domain and already exist in some form (dating back centuries in some cases)? I don't really know. But might go some way to explain the high number. Either way congrats to them for the idea.

Oh yeah there is also this page that is sort of related:

Quite honestly, I'm learning not to pay attention to any numbers of any kind...some seem to stay up for a long time when you know they should have changed.
