I have watched like 3 videos from 3 different people about zazzle and nobody explained it well enough for me to feel comfortable investing time in starting it. You're the first and I think only person that has really put this together in a digestible format so I could understand it. Thanks
I started a Zazzle shop years ago but then life got hard and I had no time or energy for it. It sat there for a few years, very neglected. Yesterday, I got a notification that I sold an item. I was so shocked because I had kind of forgotten about the whole thing lol. Now, I might get back into updating and actually working on this since I'm retired now. Thank you for this information. It has inspired me.
I would like to see a complete tutorial on starting a zazzle store. I have one, however, what I have learned was through the school of hard knocks. No one sees to take the time to run the process. I have seen a number of so called tutorials on zazzle and man, it's like poking your eyes with a fork because they of the rails and don't explain clearing... those youtuber are extremely frustrating. I've watched many of your videos and that's why I subed with you. You take time on braking things down, thank you for that.
Thank you for this video! I have been on Zazzle for YEARS but found this still useful. I am currently working on collections for their Megamoments contest, and I think after that I will shift from just my personal style wall art to more holiday type designs and test it out. :)
Would love to learn more about Zazzle! There are just a few people talking about it in YT. Love your style and I am sure your whole YT family will welcome more of your tips for this platform.
Thank you for the tour. Very interesting. I have only just heard about Zazzle a couple weeks ago. And I agree about the personalization tool for customers being very cool.
Simply love your no nonsense, fresh, clean cut way of delivering information. Gets your viewer to follow through on every bit of knowledge you have to offer. ❤
Thanks for your update Juna Duncan. kindly guide me on How to tag and the right description for the T-shirt niche. The best S.E.O For T-shirt Niche. Regards👍
I’ve been on Zazzle for many years and my biggest complaint is that you have to keep updating your designs in some way so that they won’t go to ‘invisible’ mode. If no one views your designs for a length of time, the system eventually makes them invisible to the public. You then would have to go to your list of designs and products and manually make them visible again. Of course they want you to update the description or tags occasionally to help make your designs more easily found. I don’t list near as many designs as I used to as it is a lot of ongoing work updating your design listings. Maybe you can address this issue in a future video.
I find I put up a design a week or several borders / designs or tiles up this shows the Zazzle algorythm you are still active & you'll find your back catalogue of designs doesnt slip into the abyss, I find this to be true of Society 6 & even Redbubble to a certain extent.
That’s what’s killing me and this whole enabled invisible visible ineligible shat is driving me INSANE…how was I able to do the pillow but not the damn cup or anything else and I just started selling or at least trying to. It’s like a joke or something. And why do I have to create all a lover again when my stuff folder has all of my designs already?!?!? Why can’t I just transfer them to the damn products?!? I’m bout to say F them and move on to another functional user damn friendly website because this makes you wanna break your own shat!
Great video The only I didn't understand is how we make collections with other creators product. If you have time I appreciate if you can make a tutorial Thanks
Such a valuable video! The Zazzle upload process is very confusing and non intuitive. Difficult to find the buttons in the dashboard. Could you do a tutorial for it?
Thanks for the interesting video. Can you explain about copyright of images. For example: using pictures of figures of living people or those who have died and not 70 years have passed. Such as: singers, painters and more
Hi, one question did you made or can you make a video about the afilliate on your shop? I mean about this part 10:24 , how we can do it? Thank you very much for all your work and all you do to help us 😊
standard royalty on zazzle is 10%. you CAN up it to 15 or 20% but then when you compare your product, i.e. t-shirt to the other same products on zazzle you will usually find that you are priced much higher than the other products / shirts. if your design is unique higher price might not matter.
Great video, thanks! I love the way customers can personalize the designs by themselves. If they have trouble with that can I step in and help or do it for them? Or does Zazzle do the customer service? Thanks Juan! Love your videos!
Great video thanks, but there is something I still didn't get. So here we don't need to prepare the POD items on Printfy or Printful and Zazzle will do the job? do they print? Thank you so much
Yes, there definitely is. I do that all the time. As I create each product the very last thing to do is set the price and royalty at the bottom of the page.
I have just asked for help through a post on my RUclips. Do you have a solution? Problem with Zazzle🙄The design that I had applied on the product long ago used to look right at first, but now the same design is only appearing on half of the product and it doesn't look right.
Please, can you explain more about uploading shirts that the customer can customize? How do we design them and upload them to the Zazzle website? Thank you.
Is the default commission you talked about per store or for all stores? Seems like it should be per store because you might sell high priced items in one store and low priced items in another. Thanks in advance for your answer!
That is correct but it's hard compare prices that way too.... and then there is traffic.... price per product sold is great but how many will you sell because of traffic?
@@DetourShirts I'm talking about how to set up.a zazzle account so I as a creator can upload my.illustrations so they can be used on other people's products. I'm probably not using the right word here.
Hi Juna, is it possible, you could do 'An Update', on Zazzle please? I do appreciate your Easy to Follow and apply Tips & Tricks, with Everything you do! Cheers, Brad H
THanks Juna, Im new to Zazzel, and Im starting off using free Canva elements.. If my understanding is correct, for POD we have to alter so the main element so it is not a standalone item. Doing so, we can claim we created the design and have the right to sell? there is so many differences in licenses. That is my biggest hurdle right now.
I honestly don't remember... I did mine so long ago... but that sounds right. You can ask this question in the Facebook. Maybe there is someone in the group that just did it.
Hi Juna, Do you know what kind of SVG file is needed to be able to edit the colors in Zazzle? I tried to use a few SVG files and it didn't show the color options. I saw the store you used as an example and didn't see anything different about their file.
I just did a regular SVG file from Canva I believe, it wasn't anything special... although the graphics have to be editable in Canva or from a vector program.... just putting any graphic from Canva and saving it as an SVG will not work..... some graphics on Canva are pixels not vectors....... a good test is to see if you can change the color in Canva..... if you can't than your SVG would be able to either.
You can but that would cut into your profits.... I wouldn't do it for everyone.... maybe your first few if you really really want to make sure the quality of the new POD.
When i making personalization product, and i want to add picture that can be personalized, can i get that picture from unsplash or pixabay or that picture have to owned my self?
A personalize picture? What do you mean... just a different picture for a profession or something or a drawing that looks like the person or is it a different kind of dog?
@@DetourShirts for example, i want to design wedding welcome sign poster in zazzle, i add text name of bride groom that can be personalized by buyer, and i add picture of bride groom that can be personalized by buyer. If picture of bride groom that can be personalized by buyer, i download from unsplash, pixabay, it will make problem about copyright or not?
@@DetourShirts that's great ..I also want to add my wall paper art but I don't have PayPal and I think there is no alternative method on their platform..
I'm confused about the Official Fan merch Can I add a Zazzle collection of say like Nightmare Before Christmas because I really like it to my Zazzle store with the intent that clicks would take customers to Disney store or is the affiliate link just for web stores outside of Zazzle?
Forgive me if you already answered these questions. The only thing that has stopped me from selling on Zazzle is I haven't found anywhere that will explain if they remove your signature on the designs. Can someone remove your signature? I would hate to go through all that work making the designs such as portraits and no one knows you designed it. Also does Zazzle own your design after you upload. Please advise if you know. Thank you.
Whatever you put on your PNG will be on the final design. So if you put a signature in your design it should be there. Zazzle doesn’t own your design, you do. So you can use it whenever you want.
@@DetourShirts I didn't see you replied to me! Thank you for responding and setting my mind at ease. I am in search for a new store because Redbubble banned me with no explanation and refuse to reply to me. But, that's ok...sort of? I was thinking of leaving them due to their greed. Do you know the best store to use to connect to RUclips? I have been trying to do research and I am still not sure. Can you help me with this and what do you find is best? I have a lot of people requesting I sell my art again and I feel pretty desperate to find a new home for them to finally buy my stuff again. Thank you in advance! I find your videos very informative and how you explain things to us! Have a good day!
So just to be clear you can not create your own Marvel and DC stuff but you can put what Zazzle already has in your store for sale....You will see the rules of the Fan Merch when you click on the get started button... and they will walk you through it
I have one issue with Zazzle I had a nature design it was unique had a few sales then sales dropped so I went to the library online looked up the type of design on Zazzle and even though the page grew to over 20 similar like mine, only one showed. One result. And no not mine of course. It was like either Zazzle itself put one up and made traffic go to only that one, or some hacker somehow cornered that niche market. Other than that I like Zazzle.
I've heard that Zazzle deactivates designs which haven't sold for a while nor been updated recently. Otherwise, they would end up with a platform full of stuff that no one is interested in buying and possibly forgotten about by the creators. If you think the design is still relevant, redo the titles, description, tags to something current and reactivate it, but if it's no longer topical, then consider either refreshing the design to something more relevant or deleting it altogether. It's good practice to update your listings regularly so they are identified as active listings during Zazzle's housekeeping. :)
Bro Personalization or customization is for one who want to buy?....or its means you can edit somebody's product resell it as your own product? Please clear it for me I can't understand that
No they don’t. They only give you the correct parameters in pixels once you do it wrong. They differ from Printify which is who I use, so I end up having to resize the image all over. Someone said, they’ll give it to you in inches and you just need to convert it to pixels.
@@DetourShirts Thank you. I got excited when I heard someone made 1000 USD with the eclipse niche. I should have worked on zazzle in stead of teepublic :)
So, from what I can tell, if you design the text in Zazzle, the text is editable in Zazzle. If you make an invitation or business card on Canva with text, upload it, it will not be editable, right? Thnkas
You could try it.... I don't know how many people would take a business card from a stranger and then go to a site and buy something but you never know.... you may have to give them a great incentive to do that... FREE Gift? FREE Shipping? Customizable options? etc.
Great video, Tks Juna! I just started on Zazzle and your information come at the right time. I have a question, my email address is different from my PayPal and they wanted me to update, I tried to change to the same email address as PayPal but not successful. Any advice?
You can add multiple email addresses in PayPal. So you should just be able to add the email address you use on Zazzle into your PayPal account, and then it should all tie up. :)
The design that I had applied on the product long ago used to look right at first, but now the same design is only appearing on half of the product and it doesn't look right.
How do you name your store on Zazzle, or any platform, when you are starting out? If you don’t want to use your name, and don’t have a brand? Then there is the issue of making sure no one else has that name or takes it. Can you do a video about how you go about doing this for the different platforms? What is legal and what isn’t? Thank you for all of your hard work teaching us!
Basically I would make something up and see if it's already out there or trademarked... if not, you are free to use it... buy the domain name and you will be set.
Hello Juna, Thank you for the video. I have a question that is out of topic hope you can help me with it. Which of the ten platforms you're in allows me to sell there without having a Tin id or social security number? For clarification, I'm not an American and don't live in the states. I want to avoid any surprises, whether upon signing up or after. Because I heard that some platforms would allow me to sign up but once we need to be paid they will ask for the tin number, I want to avoid that from the start. I want something like Amazon if you don t have a US tin or a different country Tin we will deduct 30 percent.
That is a great question... but I don't know the answer to that... it's been a while since I joined these and I don't remember which ones use a Tin ID or SS number... sorry... maybe someone in my Facebook group knows the answers... you can try asking there
I’m Canadian and sell on Zazzle. I had what’s called a W8 form to fill out (basically tells the govt that I’m not American and so won’t have to pay taxes on my earnings).
I'm struggling with Zazzle for some reason! I am not maneuvering through the platform very well. Idk what I am doing wrong. I create a product (at least I think I do) but then I can't find it anywhere! Idk im just really frustrated with it. Maybe I am just dumb lol but I haven't had issues with all the other platforms. I hope I can figure it out bcz I do like some things about it.
I looked at zazzle very briefly and didn't see an obvious way to use one design over many products (like you can with redbubble or mba). Did I miss something or is it not meant to be used this way?
You have to upload the design to more individual products on Zazzle, with some products needing different file sizes. It's not a case of uploading a file and simply clicking a button to tell it activate it on 1730 products. Also, you would use the platform very differently to Redbubble. Zazzle provides a more targeted way of selling, so that you can really hit niche markets, and as you can open as many shops as you like, you can tackle loads of niche markets. For example, you could have a shop only selling adult slogan t-shirts; a shop for birthday party stationery and birthday party supplies; a fabric store for dressmakers; a store specialised for people who go to the gym, with towels, drinking bottles, yoga mats, notebooks with motivational quotes etc. Zazzle is way more versatile than Redbubble and it provides a really good avenue to ground test a business idea. :)
@@happybunny1329 Thank you for taking the time to share your knowledge about Zazzle (in this comment here, above, and in other comments you made under this video). I appreciate you answered in some detail, with positive suggestions. Thanks!
So it’s allowed to sell Disney? It’s allowed to sell big brand designs? I’ve tried posting 4 listings. And it’s confusing whenever you start personalizing an item. You don’t know which ones you are selling unless I add them in a collection in my store
So.... you can add designs that are already on Zazzle from the brands... you CANNOT create your own stuff.... I'll have to make a video on how to create a personalized product
Speaking of Disney & name brand…. When I do research on Etsy, I still see so many stores selling that kind of stuff. I realize it’s not impossible, but it’s probably very expensive to get a license(or whatever) to sell that kind of thing & those stores have so many sales. Hard to believe they’re all legitimate.
Im nervous to watch because that website is really pissing me off trying to unlock multiple collections and want to throw my computer 🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️
Hey Juna, love your vids... I just binge watched about 25 of them. 😆 I like the info on Affinity and Kittl, etc. Question tho... I don't see you talk about putting the logos on t-shirts. Do you order heat transfers from like TKO or someone? Do you order tees in bulk? Wondering about your steps after the design is finished. Tryin to get a little t-shirt side hustle going. Thanks!!
I only do Print on Demand... no need for heat transfers or ordering tees in bulk.... all you do after a design is finished is upload it to a POD store like Amazon, RedBubble or TeePublic... then add a title, description.... that's it.
Hi Juno how do. I do affiliate link on my Zazzle store when I try to do what you mention on this topic but failed. Do you actually have people buy from yr I store affiliate link
10 Styles on RedBubble: ruclips.net/video/foL9HtyFuuE/видео.html
10 Styles on TeePublic: ruclips.net/video/c9s2wyGbC5A/видео.html
Does it show total earnings at the end of the month?
Or whenever someone orders or shipment is done?
Can you please specify??
I have watched like 3 videos from 3 different people about zazzle and nobody explained it well enough for me to feel comfortable investing time in starting it. You're the first and I think only person that has really put this together in a digestible format so I could understand it. Thanks

You will have to check what is selling on Zazzle and then you can add it to your collection
Great Content !!! just one question .... there any particular settings for the files, to let zazzle customize my designs ??
It's needs to be an SVG... I do it at 4500 x 5400 but since it's an SVG you can scale it so it doesn't matter too much.
Can you please explain how to add somebody elses's products to your collection. Also, I tried to find your store on zazzle but it is not there.

can I use placeit and download it on zazzle, also can I use zazzle design and put my own words and what design Iam allow to use.
Yes... and I think so... not really sure what you are asking on the second one
What I meant was - can I use zazzle mockups and type my own message.

Should we always get a proof purchase or print out before listing it for sale? How do you know our design looks ok printed?
You can but that would cut into your profits.... I wouldn't do it for everyone.... maybe your first few if you really really want to make sure the quality of the new POD.
If you scale your image up too much Zazzle will let you know they think it will look like crap before you can sell it.

@@DetourShirts for example, i want to design wedding welcome sign poster in zazzle, i add text name of bride groom that can be personalized by buyer, and i add picture of bride groom that can be personalized by buyer. If picture of bride groom that can be personalized by buyer, i download from unsplash, pixabay, it will make problem about copyright or not?
hey Juna, hope you are enjoying your holidays well. I want to ask about society6. do you explore it. please guide
Yes I do! I still need to add more designs there to really test it... it's just okay so far
@@DetourShirts that's great ..I also want to add my wall paper art but I don't have PayPal and I think there is no alternative method on their platform..
I'm confused about the Official Fan merch Can I add a Zazzle collection of say like Nightmare Before Christmas because I really like it to my Zazzle store with the intent that clicks would take customers to Disney store or is the affiliate link just for web stores outside of Zazzle?
It kind of works like an affiliate link from your store
Forgive me if you already answered these questions. The only thing that has stopped me from selling on Zazzle is I haven't found anywhere that will explain if they remove your signature on the designs. Can someone remove your signature? I would hate to go through all that work making the designs such as portraits and no one knows you designed it. Also does Zazzle own your design after you upload. Please advise if you know. Thank you.
Whatever you put on your PNG will be on the final design. So if you put a signature in your design it should be there. Zazzle doesn’t own your design, you do. So you can use it whenever you want.
@@DetourShirts I didn't see you replied to me! Thank you for responding and setting my mind at ease. I am in search for a new store because Redbubble banned me with no explanation and refuse to reply to me. But, that's ok...sort of? I was thinking of leaving them due to their greed. Do you know the best store to use to connect to RUclips? I have been trying to do research and I am still not sure. Can you help me with this and what do you find is best? I have a lot of people requesting I sell my art again and I feel pretty desperate to find a new home for them to finally buy my stuff again. Thank you in advance! I find your videos very informative and how you explain things to us! Have a good day!
Happy about the DC, Marvel's Fan Merch.. what about copyright strikes? whats the difference between zazzle fan merch and redbubble fan merch
So just to be clear you can not create your own Marvel and DC stuff but you can put what Zazzle already has in your store for sale....You will see the rules of the Fan Merch when you click on the get started button... and they will walk you through it
I have one issue with Zazzle I had a nature design it was unique had a few sales then sales dropped so I went to the library online looked up the type of design on Zazzle and even though the page grew to over 20 similar like mine, only one showed. One result. And no not mine of course. It was like either Zazzle itself put one up and made traffic go to only that one, or some hacker somehow cornered that niche market. Other than that I like Zazzle.
That is so strange... I haven't heard of that before.... I hope that doesn't happen again
I've heard that Zazzle deactivates designs which haven't sold for a while nor been updated recently. Otherwise, they would end up with a platform full of stuff that no one is interested in buying and possibly forgotten about by the creators. If you think the design is still relevant, redo the titles, description, tags to something current and reactivate it, but if it's no longer topical, then consider either refreshing the design to something more relevant or deleting it altogether. It's good practice to update your listings regularly so they are identified as active listings during Zazzle's housekeeping. :)
Bro Personalization or customization is for one who want to buy?....or its means you can edit somebody's product resell it as your own product?
Please clear it for me I can't understand that
As a seller you make your products customizable so when people buy your products they have the option to change or customize it.
What type of files do u need to upload ur files to Zazzle
SVG if you want the option to change colors..... otherwise PNGs are okay
Does Zazzle have a dimensions page for all of their products so I can make art boards to fit their products?
Great question... I will look for it and report back
No they don’t. They only give you the correct parameters in pixels once you do it wrong. They differ from Printify which is who I use, so I end up having to resize the image all over. Someone said, they’ll give it to you in inches and you just need to convert it to pixels.
None of my Designs got even viewed. I wanna try Merch Informer to pick better niches now. But its still shocked me a bit.
Yeah... research can really help
Great video! BTW, is Kittl good when it comes to designing invitations....cheers
Absolutely! I haven't tried it personally but I can imagine that would be a great combo
can you get organic sales on zazzle? or do you have to drive traffic like teepublic?
You can get organic sales... some products get better organic sales than others
@@DetourShirts Thank you. I got excited when I heard someone made 1000 USD with the eclipse niche. I should have worked on zazzle in stead of teepublic :)
So, from what I can tell, if you design the text in Zazzle, the text is editable in Zazzle. If you make an invitation or business card on Canva with text, upload it, it will not be editable, right? Thnkas
That's right
I don't understand - we have to put our designs on each product separately? It is even longer, than uploading on society6...
No... you pick a group of designs.... I can share that in another video
still waiting@@DetourShirts
Great video thank you. I'd like to know more about affiliate links and how that works?
Sure thing! I'll tell you what I know
How would i drive traffic to my store on zazzle
Social media mainly.... but also ads, email marketing, blog posts, etc
@@DetourShirts Thank you.
@@DetourShirts I just had a great idea... what about business cards that you hand to people when you are out and about and talking to people. ?
You could try it.... I don't know how many people would take a business card from a stranger and then go to a site and buy something but you never know.... you may have to give them a great incentive to do that... FREE Gift? FREE Shipping? Customizable options? etc.
GREAT content, How would you drive traffic to this site to optimize revenue, including from affiliate links?
Social media mainly.... ads could work too but you really got to know your audience
@@DetourShirts Do you have a video on how to utilize social media for driving traffic to a page? I'm a newbie Thanks
I know zazzle has an affiliate link-even for yourself!
So can or can you not post fanart on it? I know you could post through the Disney, Star Wars etc brands on Zazzle but can you still?
Great question... there are very few fanart stuff we can make as sellers check this here...www.zazzle.com/fan+merch
Does Zazzle take care of Costumer service for your store ? And shooing. Take care of everything ?
Yes it does
Great video, Tks Juna! I just started on Zazzle and your information come at the right time. I have a question, my email address is different from my PayPal and they wanted me to update, I tried to change to the same email address as PayPal but not successful. Any advice?
Sorry... I will have to look into that one... I would hope it's an easy fix but I'm not 100% sure how to fix it
You can add multiple email addresses in PayPal. So you should just be able to add the email address you use on Zazzle into your PayPal account, and then it should all tie up. :)
What does it mean to have a blue tick on a product?
I’m not sure. Maybe it’s validated somehow?
@@DetourShirts okk 👍🏾
Cool 😎 Thank you!!
You are very welcome
I have just asked for help through a post on my RUclips. Do you have a solution? Problem with Zazzle🙄
What's the problem?
The design that I had applied on the product long ago used to look right at first, but now the same design is only appearing on half of the product and it doesn't look right.
Hello sir can you make a video about how to find trending niche on Zazzle
I'll give it a shot
How do you name your store on Zazzle, or any platform, when you are starting out? If you don’t want to use your name, and don’t have a brand? Then there is the issue of making sure no one else has that name or takes it. Can you do a video about how you go about doing this for the different platforms? What is legal and what isn’t? Thank you for all of your hard work teaching us!
Basically I would make something up and see if it's already out there or trademarked... if not, you are free to use it... buy the domain name and you will be set.
@@DetourShirts Thank you! Do you have a reference of where I could go to learn more about this?
Trademarks can be found at USPTO.gov
@@DetourShirts Thank you!
As for creating the name on Zazzle if it’s a duplicate they won’t allow it anyway. And all store names are one long word with no spaces.
Hello Juna,
Thank you for the video. I have a question that is out of topic hope you can help me with it.
Which of the ten platforms you're in allows me to sell there without having a Tin id or social security number?
For clarification, I'm not an American and don't live in the states.
I want to avoid any surprises, whether upon signing up or after. Because I heard that some platforms would allow me to sign up but once we need to be paid they will ask for the tin number, I want to avoid that from the start.
I want something like Amazon if you don t have a US tin or a different country Tin we will deduct 30 percent.
That is a great question... but I don't know the answer to that... it's been a while since I joined these and I don't remember which ones use a Tin ID or SS number... sorry... maybe someone in my Facebook group knows the answers... you can try asking there
What is your fb group name ? Can I join it too?
It's Detour Shirts... everyone that follows the rules are welcome
I’m Canadian and sell on Zazzle. I had what’s called a W8 form to fill out (basically tells the govt that I’m not American and so won’t have to pay taxes on my earnings).
I'm struggling with Zazzle for some reason! I am not maneuvering through the platform very well. Idk what I am doing wrong. I create a product (at least I think I do) but then I can't find it anywhere! Idk im just really frustrated with it. Maybe I am just dumb lol but I haven't had issues with all the other platforms. I hope I can figure it out bcz I do like some things about it.
You are probably doing it right.... Zazzle is tough to figure out... I do wish there upload process way better
How do you create those affiliate collections?
Good question... I will have to make a video
@@DetourShirts cool,thanks Juna👍
Hi, New Subscriber here. Thank you so much.
Thanks for subbing!
I looked at zazzle very briefly and didn't see an obvious way to use one design over many products (like you can with redbubble or mba). Did I miss something or is it not meant to be used this way?
The uploading of designs is kind of weird.... I'll have to show it
You have to upload the design to more individual products on Zazzle, with some products needing different file sizes. It's not a case of uploading a file and simply clicking a button to tell it activate it on 1730 products. Also, you would use the platform very differently to Redbubble. Zazzle provides a more targeted way of selling, so that you can really hit niche markets, and as you can open as many shops as you like, you can tackle loads of niche markets. For example, you could have a shop only selling adult slogan t-shirts; a shop for birthday party stationery and birthday party supplies; a fabric store for dressmakers; a store specialised for people who go to the gym, with towels, drinking bottles, yoga mats, notebooks with motivational quotes etc. Zazzle is way more versatile than Redbubble and it provides a really good avenue to ground test a business idea. :)
@@happybunny1329 Thanks for the great info - much appreciated!
@@happybunny1329 Thank you for taking the time to share your knowledge about Zazzle (in this comment here, above, and in other comments you made under this video). I appreciate you answered in some detail, with positive suggestions. Thanks!
So it’s allowed to sell Disney? It’s allowed to sell big brand designs?
I’ve tried posting 4 listings. And it’s confusing whenever you start personalizing an item. You don’t know which ones you are selling unless I add them in a collection in my store
So.... you can add designs that are already on Zazzle from the brands... you CANNOT create your own stuff.... I'll have to make a video on how to create a personalized product
Speaking of Disney & name brand…. When I do research on Etsy, I still see so many stores selling that kind of stuff. I realize it’s not impossible, but it’s probably very expensive to get a license(or whatever) to sell that kind of thing & those stores have so many sales. Hard to believe they’re all legitimate.
@@DetourShirts yeah If you can please make more of Zazzle tips. That would be great. Thank you for your time
@@jessicaj.1011 it’s not legitimate. Just a matter of time before they get pulled.
Im nervous to watch because that website is really pissing me off trying to unlock multiple collections and want to throw my computer 🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️
It definitely could use an update
Hey! I upload my work on Behance Will I get suspended on Zazzle if I upload the Same work here too? And thank you for the video 😊
No problem.... if it's your work you can upload it to as many POD sites as you want
@@DetourShirts thank you so much for the help. Keep it up 😊
is there any tool for zazzle were we can see what people r looking for like redbubble
Probably but I don't know of any... sorry
@@DetourShirts CAN U MAKE A VIDEO ON ZAZZEL TAGGING
I've been on Zazzle since 2012..
NIce... hope it is going well
Hey Juna, love your vids... I just binge watched about 25 of them. 😆 I like the info on Affinity and Kittl, etc. Question tho... I don't see you talk about putting the logos on t-shirts. Do you order heat transfers from like TKO or someone? Do you order tees in bulk? Wondering about your steps after the design is finished. Tryin to get a little t-shirt side hustle going. Thanks!!
I only do Print on Demand... no need for heat transfers or ordering tees in bulk.... all you do after a design is finished is upload it to a POD store like Amazon, RedBubble or TeePublic... then add a title, description.... that's it.
@@DetourShirts So the sites like Amazon take care of fulfilling your orders?
Yes they do... you don't have to worry about it... pretty sweet right?
It's pretty amazing that you can watch 25 of junas videos without picking up on the concept of pod
@@guycampbell733 Wow, really? The 25 was an exaggeration, home slice!
Hi Juno how do. I do affiliate link on my Zazzle store when I try to do what you mention on this topic but failed. Do you actually have people buy from yr I store affiliate link
I haven't checked in a while but everything you need to know is here....www.zazzle.com/sell/affiliates
Thank you much!!!
