Hey Mey ~ As a lifetime crafter I’m really getting anxious about starting my own shop. The decision of where to start one is anxiety itself. Yet being a Math brain vs a craft brain definitely creates MASS ANXIETY. What’s the advantage of Zazzle vs. Etsy. vs. selling on FB? Whats the variance per cost vs. profit between them? Hope I’m not frustrating you, as much as I am myself, with all these questions? Would you be able to do a video on these questions? Hugs for all you do!
Looking forward to this series especially the steps to open a shop. I too have shiny new thing syndrome but I am going to stick to a certain niche for this shop. Thanks again for all your content! I’ve learned a lot from your videos.
Thanks so much for this video!! I've personally used Zazzle for years but keep getting stuck with setting up my shop, like if it's worth it. But you have OVER convinced me and reminded me of all the reasons why I considered it in the first place. Thanks!
I know that starting with Zazzle can look complicated ! Especially comparing to other platforms... However, it's only that complex cause they have over 1500 products and so many possibilities! Plus, you can open multiple shops, so you can open one shop to play around, and figure it out, and later open another one once you got things sorted! I am releasing a video soon that is a complete "follow my lead" on me opening a shop- from idea to planning, setting up categories and collections, and all that. Maybe that video would be useful for you ! Also, quite interested in hearing- what kind of products did you think to have in your shop out of Zazzle's huge selection? or in what niche? (and good luck, of course:))
@@MeyTribe so I was having trouble before getting things sorted, but somehow last night it worked out! Maybe I was in the wrong section playing around 🤣 I have an abstract art business. I create and sell art, stationery and inspirational products. I started with one mug last night, and have plans to add more this week. Also Calendars, Journals and Planners for end of year gifts.
@@MeyTribe 😂🤦🏾♀️ oh Mey I swear I’m not a crazy lady we’ll I am but not in the bad way I’m binge watching your videos and can’t help leaving intense as hell comments 🤦🏾♀️
I found you a couple of months ago and I have been through most of your videos, if not all. I love your personality and creativity. The only problem is you’ve given me so many ideas that I don’t know where to start😊. So I just keep watching and learning. I really appreciate all of your videos and the time it takes for you to do them. I had never heard of zazzle until I found you, this sounds like a really great platform to try out. Looking forward to the rest of the series.
I have been watching your videos for a few weeks. You do a great job & I am learning so much. I have just started a Zazzle shop & like you , am so excited to discover all the possibilities they offer. Thank you for sharing so much information. Being one of your Senior fans I appreciate all the help you offer. You are quite a remarkable young lady.
Yes Mey's videos are fantastic to a point, but the Zazzle store is a huge disappointment, like so many others out there, the prices on their products are priced way to high.
I learned so much from you and i love that your tutorials are informative and straight to the point!!! I'm so happy that you're making a zazzle series 🤗😍💜
Love this Mey! Wow, I am so excited about using Zazzle! Definitely a great education and can't wait to watch the series going forward! Will you be addressing how to adjust the profit margin and how that works?
Hey there Mey! Watched your FAA tutorials. Been on it for a year. Sold one thing. Let's see what Zazzle can do!! :) Blessing your way! thanks for these!
Mey, You are so informative. I'm into this 1st video and I want to learn more from you. I just subscribed and will go through you other Zazzle tutorials. Thanks so much!!!
Happy to hear that ! The Zazzle series has expanded much through time and it has multiple product reviews as well :) Do you already have a plan for what kind of shop you wanna make there? what types of items to sell?
This. Was. Awesome! I have an Etsy store and I'm thinking that Zazzle is way better! I'm wondering about product quality though. Do you have any thoughts about that you can share? Thank you for making this video. Glad I found you! I'm probably gonna open a Zazzle store!
Mey, I've decided to concentrate my efforts this month on Zazzle. After I watch this series and take notes. In anticipation for the upcoming holiday seasons. I also have Redbubble and Society 6 accounts (and the old Cafe Press) that I've not done anything for years on (bad divorce, and all kinds of things, but time to get to it). It is September 6. I promise to get things started and rolling within the next week. I will come back no later than October 6 and November 6 and let you know what if anything has been the response to my shops and whether I think I followed your advice well, and whether it impacted things. If you prefer, I can do that privately. I'm excited to see if my designs actually have a chance of living in the "real" world! Love your content and as always wishing you the best!
Thank you so much for the amazing information you are providing. Watching all of your videos these days to be successful on zazzle as I am stuck with this platform, don’t get enough time to give for online creative work as I am running a business which is not doing well after the pandemic. And your fangs look super cool.
@@MeyTribe goodness not yet 😠. I am working on a project that client chose Wix platform, the form and calendars part is a little bit challenge. To be honest I am so excited with possibilities that are available for myself, that it makes not so easy to focus on the task that I have to complete. 🤪, I think I m strange-- so many ideas 💡
Great video! I will wait for step by step tutorial to open a zazzle shop. I have started the process but confused with W8Ben form fill up. But now I will complete it by following your tutorial. Thanks a lot. Love from India!
Glad it was helpful! I loved making this series for Zazzle ! I actually got better at it, and working on a new tutorial Zazzle shop from start to finish. May I ask... what kind of shop is most appealing to you on Zazzle? like, what kind of items, or niches?
@@MeyTribe Thank you very much. But I want to set up a store for invitation cards, and I do not have the experience to organize the store. Are invitation cards considered a niche? Are the stickers considered within the categories of invitation cards? In other words, what are the correct categories for the invitation card store? When it comes to designing clothes, are T-shirts consider a niche? Or is just the designs printed on them considered a niche? I am confused about this. For book covers and paper products, which niche do they fall under? Please discuss these points in detail with a practical explanation. Thank you very much, Mey.
I just opened a zazzle store because another artist friend has stuff on there but I really love it ( have not sold anything yet ) but I think maybe the name gets people,
I have watched this series TWICE! And I am still having problems with my merchandise not showing up in my store. It shows that I have NO merchandise and I have no work saved!!! WTF??? I look through my images and all of them are there. With the store banner, it's not even showing that I have changed it, even with the specifications it is asking for! I have contacted Zazzle to see if I am able to get help. If this is how Zazzle is going to be, then I rather not be bothered with the site! :/ By the way, I may be having problems setting up my store, but I do want to thank you for having these tutorials here! Much grateful!
Thank you so much for the info on Zazzle. I'm in the US and learning about the print-on-demand business. I am using Etsy's shop with Ever Bee and now Zazzle. Would there be a reason to use more than one or two different print-on-demand platforms? I understand you are in the role as teacher and podcaster, but it's a bit much... let me know your thoughts. Thanks.
Just starting my first shop on Zazzle and learning so much from watching your videos! I'm wondering if you can explain how to apply one image to many different products at the same time, instead of having to create a new listing for each individual product. I tried to watch someone else's video on this topic, but it was so unfocused and non-specific that I had to turn it off. Your video tutorials are so much easier to understand!
There’s a top seller on zazzle that sells only Snoopy art. I wonder if they own copyright for it? What’s up with that? Nothing against this video; I love it. I’m just talking about that one seller and wondering how admin lets them do it.
Hey Mey I love your content and I love your personality! I can't believe you aren't from the US but you speak like an American. Have you lived there before? Great job I'm gonna watch this playlist thanks 😍
Mey, what is the best way to set up your banking for POD in general? Should you use your local bank or PayPal? Im wondering about fees etc. By the way this is the 2nd time I'm looking at your Zazzle series. Lol. Thanks Mey.
I just subbed here are the pillows behind you from zazzle? do you have more zazzle product reviews? I made some stuff and of course ordered it and almost wish I could. just buy everything I've made I love doing it , but I'm kinda worried that I wont actually like the quality of their stuff, I don't know but definatele plan on doing a review
I also have shiny things syndrome, like a magpie, I want it all, but cannot ever get around to making money, however, I also get to a drop off and I get stuck. LIke getting sizes and postage correct. I can design and set up the item with the mock up etc, but I get confused and annoyed when it comes to things like location of print origin, or where it is to be sold, or postag. I need someone to help me so I went to fiverr and hired an expert to help set up my shop and overlook my items for sale, making sure they are going to be customer ready and the sizes, pay and post sections are perfect. Thanks.
You sold me on having multiple shops in Zazzle. As a person who makes many styles of art, I've never had an easy way to manage it. So tired of juggling 5 different email accounts that eventually get locked because we now need a phone number tied to each one. Then dealing with payment systems like PayPal locking money up because apparently owning multiple shops is a bad thing. At least this lets me simplify one part of it. The only question now is the print quality.
I appreciate your time for doing this type of videos, Thank you...... Can you talk about payment? for instance about to fill out something like w8bn, I'll appreciate it!
Do you know how to make the customizable artwork, like the cactus artwork that you changed the colors on? Is it able to be done right in their platform? I didn't even realize, until a few days ago, that you can make patterns and art right inside Zazzle. Anyway, thanks Mey, another great tutorial.
I am completely new, can I simple make a digital or AI image and sell it on Zazzle? Do they print it? Is all I have to do, just to upload an image/desing or I have to do something else?
So, am I understanding correctly that with Zazzle, I can create Print on demand products and sell them on Zazzle as well? Unlike Printify, where I create the product on Printify and sell it on Etsy. Am I understanding the platform correctly?
Hey Mey, can you explain how you use quick create tool to upload images to products like shoes where it has multiple sides in the product. Do we have to upload multiple images for one product? We can use the quick create tool easily to upload an image to many products where we have to upload only one image. However, when we have to upload many images to a single product (like shoes since a shoe has many sides), we have to edit each and every product separately as the image is uploaded to only one side. Or is there any other way to use quick create tool for creating products like shoes? Please help. Thank you for your valuable vedoes.
I would love to have your opinion because I searched a little the reviews about zazzle, and a lot of them are negative reviews. People are saying that print quality is poor, drawings are blurry. Others didn't ever receive their order. I'm a little confused.
Well, I had 3 product reviews from Zazzle already on this channel: Jigsaw puzzle: czcams.com/video/rBCQedtKY1o/video.html Wrapping papers and tissue paper: czcams.com/video/-WJvTJrFyIs/video.html And their stickers: czcams.com/video/YnrZygZq-Pk/video.html Coming on later today- their notebooks (which I adore!!!) Zazzle is a huge marketplace with so many suppliers, hence- inconsistency I guess. I also got their wall art prints, amazing quality. As well as featured some of their posters in a print on demand coloring wall art video: czcams.com/video/nOE5t0EcdC0/video.html What items have you seen reviewed badly? I also know that a lot of people (including myself) order from the "wrong" Zazzle marketplace, as Zazzle isn't big on advertising that they have a different domain for shoppers from the EU for example.
First thank you for a #zazzletutorial I used to work with #zazzle a lot And I t still sells BUT this is huge BUT! It’s a night mare to build products You need to build one by one , You mage a mistake its hard to make a change . While almost any other POD will take much less on ALL products Even allow all similar products in one load is a night mare It takes hours for each design … So I Stopped publishing on Zaazle May Aroyo - how do you manage that ?
Could you please teach me how to make a design where buyers can change color on each element to different color like that wall art in this video? Or perhaps you could just direct me to the places where I could study on my own. Thanks!
There was actually a video about that on the Zazzle series: czcams.com/video/kSGKLXhQ1Go/video.html Basically the art you upload, is static.... but text and photos can be customizable. There is also color customization with SVG but I haven't tried it yet.
You can upload your own images, graphics... And then add text using Zazzle, and make that text customizable. I was showing that on part 4 of the series: czcams.com/video/kSGKLXhQ1Go/video.html
Hey, i have a question what does the debits part in earnings summary mean? as i see i have 2$ cleared in that part but i don't know what does that mean any help?
The debits or the cleared? Well, when you make a sale, the money will be "yours" once the buyer gets the product, it's standart in a lot of companies. And from what I have seen, I once made an order and the money came out of my potential cleared earnings, i don't remember if it was called decits or not.
@@MeyTribe it was the cleared debits column. i sent them a message about that and they replied this : "The debits indicate an amount that has been removed/spent from an account. The $2 debit is likely a non-contributing account fee. An account will be deemed a ‘Non-Contributing Account’ if either a public Product has not been published, or there has been no Referral Sale attributed to the account in the previous 15 month period. Non-Contributing Accounts will be subject to a monthly ‘Non-Contributing Account Fee’ of $2."
I'm a senior self-taught artist and I've been all excited since learning a little about Zazzle a few weeks ago. I thought I could finally try doing something with my collection of pattern designs. The problem is that today I happened to notice that there is also lots of very negative things about Zazzle on the internet. They were sued for hundreds of millions for stealing designs. Also, lots of artists had their work illegally copied and used by other Zazzle sellers. My dreams are shattered and I already wasted mega hours on trying to get my designs named and organized and trying to learn how to use Zazzle.
Gurl, this could be a good thing. Perhaps the suit will make them more diligent. If it's your work, put a copyirght notice on it. Etsy's been sued too and is known for other vendors outright copying or duplicaing other artist. I'm an older creator too and I do understand but, there will always be a reason to keep your work to your self. You have a Facebook page? Go for it!
1. People can use your design on zazzle, modify it, and order it- and you get commission, as it was yours. 2. Stealing art online cannot be prevented. I mean- someone can see a cool art piece on Instagram and recreate it. (guess I wasn't sure exactly what you meant by "steal it")
@@MeyTribe Thx! I guess I meant do the sites (ie Etsy) police that..or is there just a professional etiquette that you shouldn't steal other peoples work. I just want to know 1. How to protect my own work, and 2. How to make sure I'm not violating anyone else's (even accidentally).
@@MeyTribe Thank you for your reply, Mey. Big thanks to your video, I opened a store on Zazzle 2 days ago and I am learning about the customizable design concept. When I try to change colors, I only see 35 colors in an array to choose from and also the area to provide the color code. When I click on the Custom Color Picker, it does not give me the color choices. Am I doing something wrong?
@@ShowAloud I’m not sure in what color section are you … the background of the design or color for font? This is a great problem to share in our Facebook group with a screenshot
@@MeyTribe I do not have FB account yet. The color pallet I am talking about is for the front design. On the top right of the design screen, there are 35 colors to choose from and I cannot find ways to get a color wheel, RGB or CMYK or other choices of colors. I am still learning to navigate my ways through the site.
@@ShowAloud on the front design you still have multiple places with color choices. Sounds like you’re talking about background color. I still don’t understand what the problem is. You can create whatever background color you want on almost any online software as a square and place it there. And now, zazzle doesn’t have limited colors to choose from… but I can’t show you where they are or be sure where you are - without visuals (and that’s why we have the FB group as there’s no image share option here )
Thanks LOL As for Zazzle- it's a marketplace Like any other marketplace- society6, redbubble, teepublic..... Which means- if someone searches for something- the platform shows results (products from people) - they would be more inclined to recommend your item if it's the specific thing the buyer was looking for, or if your item has proven to be something people buy. Most times when we start- we make designs that other people have as well, so the platform would recommend those who sold already. That's why it's important to bring in your own buyers, no matter what platform you're on, and when they buy- the platform prefers you on search results.
@@MeyTribe I asked if they promote your work like redbubble. Not every print on demand site does. I wanted to do zazzle, but for the life of me I cant even figure out how to put a design on. i watch the videos but I always get the page for the customer to order and not the one to put a design on. I am not new to on demand, but this seems more complicated, but also it does things that redbubble doesn't offer.I am so frustrated with redbubble, my designs are getting better, and better, but I have not gotten a sale in four months.
@@debradavis9312 I'm not sure what's the difference between if they promote or if they display on search results... (it's the same thing...) I don't know what you're doing that is wrong to make a product, as I am not there with you... Once you create the design you need to click on "sell it" and fill out the listing form. If you don't have a "sell it" button that can be for 2 reasons: 1. You didn't open a selling account and a shop of Zazzle 2. The item you've chosen wasn't a blank item, but someone else's design that you customized. those can't be sold. Always create a new product using the "create" tool. Zazzle can def seem more complex than RB, but I feel like the moment you suddenly get it, like an a-ha moment, things get easier. It's also different in complexity based on what item you're trying to design. As for designs on RB not selling I'd say there are 2 main reasons people don't get sales there: 1. The designs are not good (not saying your's aren't but it's a reason) 2. There is no marketing from your end. Marketing is crucial when selling on marketplaces, as the platform will prefer sending traffic for items that have already started selling... so if you're new- it's important to bring your own sales in first.
Well, it is a free platform, with many other videos... You don't have to watch videos you don't like... And given the fact that many other people wanted a MORE informative video- I really can;'t make everyone happy :)
So they have all these items but do they sell. Do you have to advertise. I do no advertising nor evem social media fir Redbubble and Teepublic. Didn't find social media helped.
You are so liable and a joy to watch! I have been researching Zazzle... I am so glad I found you!
Thanks

I recently find you an I love your videos. Hugs from Chile
Mey, what is the best way to set up your banking for POD in general? Should you use your local bank or PayPal? Im wondering about fees etc. By the way this is the 2nd time I'm looking at your Zazzle series. Lol. Thanks Mey.
Love your enthusiasm. Im also 34 haha. Subscribed!
Awesome! Thank you!
I just subbed here are the pillows behind you from zazzle? do you have more zazzle product reviews? I made some stuff and of course ordered it and almost wish I could. just buy everything I've made I love doing it , but I'm kinda worried that I wont actually like the quality of their stuff, I don't know but definatele plan on doing a review
Thank you you are awesome
You are!
I love Zazzle, I had too many issues with Redbubble
I think we each can find a system / marketplace we prefer. so many people having issues with Zazzle so they go to RB LOL
Hello I never heard about this platform and it seems like they have a lot of products.
I also have shiny things syndrome, like a magpie, I want it all, but cannot ever get around to making money, however, I also get to a drop off and I get stuck. LIke getting sizes and postage correct. I can design and set up the item with the mock up etc, but I get confused and annoyed when it comes to things like location of print origin, or where it is to be sold, or postag. I need someone to help me so I went to fiverr and hired an expert to help set up my shop and overlook my items for sale, making sure they are going to be customer ready and the sizes, pay and post sections are perfect. Thanks.
Wow
You sold me on having multiple shops in Zazzle. As a person who makes many styles of art, I've never had an easy way to manage it. So tired of juggling 5 different email accounts that eventually get locked because we now need a phone number tied to each one. Then dealing with payment systems like PayPal locking money up because apparently owning multiple shops is a bad thing.
At least this lets me simplify one part of it.
The only question now is the print quality.
I appreciate your time for doing this type of videos, Thank you...... Can you talk about payment? for instance about to fill out something like w8bn, I'll appreciate it!
Do you know how to make the customizable artwork, like the cactus artwork that you changed the colors on? Is it able to be done right in their platform? I didn't even realize, until a few days ago, that you can make patterns and art right inside Zazzle. Anyway, thanks Mey, another great tutorial.
The customizable artwork like that is when the designer uploads a .svg file.
Keep going
I am completely new, can I simple make a digital or AI image and sell it on Zazzle? Do they print it? Is all I have to do, just to upload an image/desing or I have to do something else?
So, am I understanding correctly that with Zazzle, I can create Print on demand products and sell them on Zazzle as well? Unlike Printify, where I create the product on Printify and sell it on Etsy. Am I understanding the platform correctly?
Which types of niche and products sells on zazzle ?
Hey Mey, can you explain how you use quick create tool to upload images to products like shoes where it has multiple sides in the product. Do we have to upload multiple images for one product? We can use the quick create tool easily to upload an image to many products where we have to upload only one image. However, when we have to upload many images to a single product (like shoes since a shoe has many sides), we have to edit each and every product separately as the image is uploaded to only one side. Or is there any other way to use quick create tool for creating products like shoes? Please help. Thank you for your valuable vedoes.
I would love to have your opinion because I searched a little the reviews about zazzle, and a lot of them are negative reviews. People are saying that print quality is poor, drawings are blurry. Others didn't ever receive their order. I'm a little confused.
Well, I had 3 product reviews from Zazzle already on this channel:
Jigsaw puzzle:

Wrapping papers and tissue paper:
czcams.com/video/-WJvTJrFyIs/video.html
And their stickers:
czcams.com/video/YnrZygZq-Pk/video.html
Coming on later today- their notebooks (which I adore!!!)
Zazzle is a huge marketplace with so many suppliers, hence- inconsistency I guess.
I also got their wall art prints, amazing quality. As well as featured some of their posters in a print on demand coloring wall art video:

What items have you seen reviewed badly?
I also know that a lot of people (including myself) order from the "wrong" Zazzle marketplace, as Zazzle isn't big on advertising that they have a different domain for shoppers from the EU for example.
First thank you for a #zazzletutorial
I used to work with #zazzle a lot And I t still sells
BUT this is huge BUT! It’s a night mare to build products
You need to build one by one , You mage a mistake its hard to make a change .
While almost any other POD will take much less on ALL products
Even allow all similar products in one load is a night mare
It takes hours for each design …
So I Stopped publishing on Zaazle
May Aroyo - how do you manage that ?
Could you please teach me how to make a design where buyers can change color on each element to different color like that wall art in this video? Or perhaps you could just direct me to the places where I could study on my own. Thanks!
Looking into that, played around with it a bit and it will be on Part 4 of the Zazzle series with the creating customizable items :)
How do you create a customizable art to sell on zazzle? svg file?
There was actually a video about that on the Zazzle series:
czcams.com/video/kSGKLXhQ1Go/video.html
Basically the art you upload, is static.... but text and photos can be customizable. There is also color customization with SVG but I haven't tried it yet.
I love the idea of customer input. If I upload cards with images only the customer can add their own info. I want to do this, is it possible?
You can upload your own images, graphics... And then add text using Zazzle, and make that text customizable. I was showing that on part 4 of the series:
czcams.com/video/kSGKLXhQ1Go/video.html
I have upload my design on zzazle from Bangladesh but i didn't get money yet
good
Hey there! I have a question, ZAZZLE stays on sale, since I set my prices to 5.97 but they can get 50% does that mean I do not get my full earnings?
BUT DO THEY HAVE ALL OVER PRINTING
On what items?
They have loads of all over print items... (they have a total of over 1500 products...)
Hey, i have a question what does the debits part in earnings summary mean? as i see i have 2$ cleared in that part but i don't know what does that mean any help?
The debits or the cleared?
Well, when you make a sale, the money will be "yours" once the buyer gets the product, it's standart in a lot of companies.
And from what I have seen, I once made an order and the money came out of my potential cleared earnings, i don't remember if it was called decits or not.
@@MeyTribe it was the cleared debits column. i sent them a message about that and they replied this : "The debits indicate an amount that has been removed/spent from an account. The $2 debit is likely a non-contributing account fee. An account will be deemed a ‘Non-Contributing Account’ if either a public Product has not been published, or there has been no Referral Sale attributed to the account in the previous 15 month period. Non-Contributing Accounts will be subject to a monthly ‘Non-Contributing Account Fee’ of $2."
How to get bulk order??
I'm a senior self-taught artist and I've been all excited since learning a little about Zazzle a few weeks ago. I thought I could finally try doing something with my collection of pattern designs. The problem is that today I happened to notice that there is also lots of very negative things about Zazzle on the internet. They were sued for hundreds of millions for stealing designs. Also, lots of artists had their work illegally copied and used by other Zazzle sellers. My dreams are shattered and I already wasted mega hours on trying to get my designs named and organized and trying to learn how to use Zazzle.
Gurl, this could be a good thing. Perhaps the suit will make them more diligent. If it's your work, put a copyirght notice on it. Etsy's been sued too and is known for other vendors outright copying or duplicaing other artist. I'm an older creator too and I do understand but, there will always be a reason to keep your work to your self. You have a Facebook page? Go for it!
I am setting up shop from scratch.. should we do it together on your channel? :D
When you design on dazzle...do you now own the design or could someone steal it?
1. People can use your design on zazzle, modify it, and order it- and you get commission, as it was yours.
2. Stealing art online cannot be prevented. I mean- someone can see a cool art piece on Instagram and recreate it. (guess I wasn't sure exactly what you meant by "steal it")
@@MeyTribe Thx! I guess I meant do the sites (ie Etsy) police that..or is there just a professional etiquette that you shouldn't steal other peoples work. I just want to know 1. How to protect my own work, and 2. How to make sure I'm not violating anyone else's (even accidentally).
Are there limited colors available in Zazzle?
Colors of what ?… you can design using the same colors you design any POD product
@@MeyTribe Thank you for your reply, Mey.
Big thanks to your video, I opened a store on Zazzle 2 days ago and I am learning about the customizable design concept. When I try to change colors, I only see 35 colors in an array to choose from and also the area to provide the color code. When I click on the Custom Color Picker, it does not give me the color choices. Am I doing something wrong?
@@ShowAloud I’m not sure in what color section are you … the background of the design or color for font?
This is a great problem to share in our Facebook group with a screenshot
@@MeyTribe I do not have FB account yet. The color pallet I am talking about is for the front design. On the top right of the design screen, there are 35 colors to choose from and I cannot find ways to get a color wheel, RGB or CMYK or other choices of colors.
I am still learning to navigate my ways through the site.
@@ShowAloud on the front design you still have multiple places with color choices. Sounds like you’re talking about background color.
I still don’t understand what the problem is. You can create whatever background color you want on almost any online software as a square and place it there.
And now, zazzle doesn’t have limited colors to choose from… but I can’t show you where they are or be sure where you are - without visuals (and that’s why we have the FB group as there’s no image share option here )
Does zazzle promote your work? I like your hair this way the most, and it makes you look prettier.
Thanks LOL
As for Zazzle- it's a marketplace
Like any other marketplace- society6, redbubble, teepublic.....
Which means- if someone searches for something- the platform shows results (products from people) - they would be more inclined to recommend your item if it's the specific thing the buyer was looking for, or if your item has proven to be something people buy.
Most times when we start- we make designs that other people have as well, so the platform would recommend those who sold already.
That's why it's important to bring in your own buyers, no matter what platform you're on, and when they buy- the platform prefers you on search results.
@@MeyTribe I asked if they promote your work like redbubble. Not every print on demand site does. I wanted to do zazzle, but for the life of me I cant even figure out how to put a design on. i watch the videos but I always get the page for the customer to order and not the one to put a design on. I am not new to on demand, but this seems more complicated, but also it does things that redbubble doesn't offer.I am so frustrated with redbubble, my designs are getting better, and better, but I have not gotten a sale in four months.
@@debradavis9312 I'm not sure what's the difference between if they promote or if they display on search results... (it's the same thing...)
I don't know what you're doing that is wrong to make a product, as I am not there with you... Once you create the design you need to click on "sell it" and fill out the listing form.
If you don't have a "sell it" button that can be for 2 reasons:
1. You didn't open a selling account and a shop of Zazzle
2. The item you've chosen wasn't a blank item, but someone else's design that you customized. those can't be sold. Always create a new product using the "create" tool.
Zazzle can def seem more complex than RB, but I feel like the moment you suddenly get it, like an a-ha moment, things get easier. It's also different in complexity based on what item you're trying to design.
As for designs on RB not selling I'd say there are 2 main reasons people don't get sales there:
1. The designs are not good (not saying your's aren't but it's a reason)
2. There is no marketing from your end.
Marketing is crucial when selling on marketplaces, as the platform will prefer sending traffic for items that have already started selling... so if you're new- it's important to bring your own sales in first.
Sorry, you talk too much not informative.
Well, it is a free platform, with many other videos... You don't have to watch videos you don't like... And given the fact that many other people wanted a MORE informative video- I really can;'t make everyone happy :)
🥸
So they have all these items but do they sell. Do you have to advertise. I do no advertising nor evem social media fir Redbubble and Teepublic. Didn't find social media helped.
