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.

And today, we’re talking about how you can achieve 7-figures in sales!
For all the details, listen to the ENTIRE episode of The Creative and Ambitious Entrepreneur Podcast on your preferred streaming platform.
As you are growing your business on the Zazzle platform, there are milestones that you can hit if you perform well. When you reach 7-figures in sales on Zazzle that means that if these clients have set their royalty at 10% then they have earned $100K. You are recognized as a Gold Zazzle ProDesigner if you reach $100K in lifetime earnings from US-based sales on Zazzle.
This milestone is one of the proudest moments you could have as a Zazzle designer, because you finally see your hard work paying off at a significant earnings level!
One of the best parts about reaching milestones on the Zazzle platform is realizing that you are successful at creating a business out of a “hobby” so to speak. It’s no longer just a side hustle, you can actually use the Zazzle platform to build a real long-term income online business.
We have worked with many talented clients who have taken our signature course and received our coaching. In this episode in particular we highlight 4 of our top students who have achieved 7-figures in sales on Zazzle. Each of them have sold over 1 million dollars-worth of their Zazzle products and received over $100,000 in payouts!
1. Brandon came to us because he wanted help selling his photography on the Zazzle platform. Something important to mention about Brandon is that he’s not a designer. He doesn’t do the same kind of work other people on Zazzle do, but yet he’s still been incredibly successful. Brandon has focused on everyday items and occasions as his main niches.
2. Susan came to us two years before she wanted to retire. She is a designer who specializes in doing home decor, electronics and occasions.
3. Stacy is another student that is a designer. She focuses on weddings and occasions. With Stacy, we’ve worked with her to create a core group of products that give her downtime instead of always being on the hamster wheel to prepare for the next holiday or seasonal occasion
4. Christine is a student of ours that made $100K in 2020! She built her business up over 2 years using our course and coaching and then in her 3rd year (2020) she #CRUSHEDIT. Christine had all this success without having design skills. Instead she learned design skills through our signature course and coaching program, like Brandon did. She focuses on everyday items.
Something you should note from each of these students is that they followed their own individual path to success. They aren’t all creative people or designers or selling the same things on Zazzle. But they are people who were willing to and still do put in the smart work it takes to be successful.
While we can’t make any income claim statements, the students who have taken The Profit by Design Academy™ and received our coaching, like the 4 students we mentioned, have achieved 7-figures in sales on Zazzle in the past 3 years. Each of these students utilized our business principles and didn’t give up even if they didn’t see the results they wanted right away.
7-figures in sales on Zazzle means that if these clients have set their royalty at 10% then they have earned $100K.
If you want to succeed on Zazzle, you have to take responsibility for what happens in your business and be open to trying proven strategies until you succeed. You can’t blame others for your lack of success. In our training, we teach about The 5 Strategies™ that we have used to be successful on Zazzle.
1. “Establish” – This is where everything starts for your business because you are creating the foundation in your business and in your skill sets that you need to become successful. It’s so important to understand the ways to set your business up properly. If you don’t take the time to create a framework and business plan you won’t succeed. In Episode 49 we talk about how to set up your business framework utilizing The 3 Pillars: Perceivable, Passive, Profitable™. If you haven’t already listened to this episode, go back and listen!
2. “Create” – Following a proven production strategy on Zazzle is so important for your success. You have to know how to create products and designs that will create the inventory that will work for you in the long-run. You should be trying to create products that will give you a consistent passive long-term income. You also need to know the proper product placement for your designs in the marketplace. It’s not enough just to create a good design.
3. “Announce” – Optimal exposure for your products to customers is the key. This will help you reach more people to buy your product. You don’t have to go crazy and promote on a ton of different social media platforms. Instead, effectively announce your products in different ways on a couple different platforms that are targeting customers who are ready to shop.
4. “Align” – It’s important that you are setting up your business the way you want it to be. Yes you have a choice. You are not trying to replace your 9-5 with another 9-5. Instead align your business with what you want your life to look like with the kind of business you create. You are the boss of your Zazzle business, so set your business up in a way that allows you to live the life you want.
5. “Analyze” – It’s crucial to know what is going on in your business by analyzing key performance indicators. Without being aware of your numbers and data of how your business is doing, you won’t catch the opportunities that could make your business more successful. You have much more control over your business if you know exactly where it stands. It’s empowering to see what’s going on in your business and you can use it to your advantage and find ways to improve it.
