In this special episode of The Creative and Ambitious Entrepreneur Podcast, we are excited to have one of our amazing students, Christine Factora, joining us! When she first started on Zazzle on her own she only made $130 over 2 years time. Learn to sell online through Christine’s Zazzle Experience.
After she started working with us, Christine’s sales increased dramatically. In 2020 (during the pandemic!), she sold over 1 million dollars-worth of Zazzle products! We’re incredibly proud of Christine, and excited that she is joining us in this podcast to tell her story today.
But before we dive right in, let us introduce ourselves in case this is your first visit. Welcome to The Creative and Ambitious Entrepreneur Podcast. We’re your hosts, Jen and Elke Clarke. We are a mother and daughter team that started Zazzle e-commerce businesses over 10 years ago and has sold over 15 million dollars-worth and counting of products on Zazzle.

And today, Christine is telling us how she went from struggling to thriving on Zazzle as well as how she ended up selling over 1 million dollars-worth of products in just one year! For all the details, listen to the ENTIRE episode of The Creative and Ambitious Entrepreneur Podcast on your preferred streaming platform.
Christine lives in the Philippines and up until this point, has spent the majority of her career working for her family business. While she enjoys supporting her family, she always wanted to have a business of her own.
In 2015, she started looking for ways to make money online. Christine started her own blog, and discovered Zazzle by searching for ways to make affiliate income through her blog. She realized she could also post designs on Zazzle and get paid royalties. That’s when she decided to put some of her own designs on products to sell online on Zazzle.
She wasn’t sure if she was going to earn any money from Zazzle or not, but she wanted to give it a shot since it was free. She made 130 dollars in two years, but she wanted to earn more. She knew that she needed to find experts to learn from and that’s how she found us.
Christine treated our courses like investments. She recognized that while she was spending money, she figured that she would eventually pay off her investment and earn more after she got the help she needed to start selling well on Zazzle. Christine’s investment in our course and coaching has certainly paid off!
Christine made $3,800 in her first year working with us (instead of just $130 in 2 years on her own!). In her second year, she earned $33,000. Last year, she made over $100,000 in take-home pay. Because she set her royalty at 10%, that means that Christine has sold over $1,000,000 on Zazzle in 2020! Congratulations, Christine!
Christine feels extremely proud of her Zazzle business because it is passive, online and long-term. She’s thankful that it allows her to continue to work with her family business during the day and work on her Zazzle business when she has time, while it provides her with passive income 24 hours a day.
There are challenges that come with having a physical store like her parent’s business: getting up early to open and staying late to close, counting inventory, cleaning the store, etc.
With her Zazzle business, Christine doesn’t have to worry about any of that. All she has to do is sign into her computer when it’s convenient for her!
It feels amazing to Christine that her Zazzle store is not just a “side hustle.” Because she followed and implemented the training from The Profit by Design Academy™ her Zazzle business is a fully functioning high income-generating online business that not only pays her passive income but is also an investment in her future.
It’s not always easy for Christine to balance running her Zazzle business and working for her family’s business full time. But she’s been able to do it by managing her time well the way we teach time management in The Profit by Design Academy™.
We teach our students to spend 20 hours per month on their Zazzle stores. We show them how to be efficient with their time and what things to do to have the best return on their time to generate income.
Christine says that the keys to success were setting up her store properly and knowing what to work on when she sat down to work on her Zazzle business for 20 hours a month. Christine credits The Profit by Design Academy™, for helping her set up her store to run efficiently. The beautiful thing about using Zazzle as an e-commerce business platform is that it allows you to work smarter, not harder.
When you set it up properly, your Zazzle store works for you!
Christine loves how passive Zazzle is. She pointed out that most shoppers on Zazzle are American, and because of the time difference in the Philippines, many American customers are shopping online when it’s nighttime in the Philippines. So Christine literally makes money in her sleep on Zazzle!
Christine touched on some of the freedoms her Zazzle business gives her. A few of the freedoms we discussed together were:
We love that Christine feels empowered and free with her Zazzle business. That’s why we are so passionate about sharing the 5 Strategies™ we use for success on Zazzle.

Christine’s success was possible because she wasn’t afraid to ask for HELP and the RIGHT HELP. Asking for assistance can feel scary, but Christine has a great attitude about it. She says, “Just ask the question!” There’s nothing wrong with needing some guidance. It truly can make all the difference!
