As top sellers on Zazzle, you could call us Zazzle gurus. Through our masterminds, coaching, and our signature Zazzle course, The Profit by Design Academy™, we have helped our students avoid mistakes so that they can scale their online Zazzle businesses to 5-figure months. In this article, I share with you 3 crucial mistakes you must avoid if you want to scale your Zazzle business. Read on!
What is Zazzle and How To Make Money Online?
Zazzle is a Print in Demand company that has an online store where customers can find products with unique designs. Customers can also customize these designs and see the changes in real time.
As a creative, you can open up a virtual store and post products for sale with your graphic designs, art, and photography. When a customer buys your product. Zazzle does everything from printing the product to shipping, billing, and customer service. Then you receive a royalty payment. Awesome!!!
There’s more to it and I would love to share more with you.

Zazzle Mistake #1 – No Defined Customer Avatar
All successful companies have a defined customer avatar. It’s a fictional person who would be
the perfect customer for the product or service the company wants to sell.
To scale your Zazzle business from a hobby or side hustle to 5-figure months you must be crystal clear on who you are serving.
Even though it seems odd to describe all the details about ONE person when you want to sell to thousands of people, it works. If you narrow it down to one person, you realize there are many people shopping online EXACTLY like your defined customer avatar.
Besides details like name, age, family details, where they live, and profession, you must know the answers to questions like:
- What would my customer avatar want to buy?
- How would my customer avatar find my products?
- Where would my customer avatar hang out on social media?
Zazzle Mistake #2 – Production Without a Scale Plan
Most people think you get more sales if you post thousands of products for sale on Zazzle.
Making more products can lead to more sales. But the sales only happen if you post really great products for sale that customers actually want to buy.
It’s also true that if you make fewer products but with intention, it takes less time and you make more sales.
It’s also true that you have to do the math and know the number of good sellers you need to sell to make 5-figures monthly. That way you can strategically plan and take action.
Zazzle Mistake #3 – Not Assessing and Pivoting
If you don’t know what your results are monthly you won’t know if you are reaching your earnings goals. You won’t be able to avoid wasting your time AND pivot to direct your energy to things that are working.
Assess your monthly sales and how they stack up against the earnings goals you set.
If they are NOT on track, figure out why and then pivot to do things that improve sales.
But if they are on track, figure out why and then do MORE to keep scaling.
Stop doing what isn’t working, to free up more time to do what is working.
