Our students and coaching clients. have. done it to. In this article, we cover the mindset shifts you need to make and the first action steps you need to take to build a $5K a month Zazzle store.
But before we dive right in, let us introduce ourselves in case this is your first visit. Welcome to The Creative and Ambitious Entrepreneur Blog. We’re Jen & Elke Clarke. We are a mother and daughter team that started Zazzle e-commerce businesses over 10 years ago and together we have sold over 15 million dollars-worth and counting of products on Zazzle.
The Creative and Ambitious Entrepreneur blog is for you, the creative. We share actionable steps that you can take to make money in your e-commerce business. In each post, we will take you one step closer to achieving freedom with your time, location, and finances.
We believe that a profitable e-commerce business is what opens the doors for you to start living your dream life if you work smarter, not harder, use the right tools and follow a proven roadmap. We’re here to give you the tools you need to make your dream life happen. Let’s get started!
In this article, we get serious, because we want you to succeed. Achieving success is hard. Success comes from work. But you can make it easier on yourself if you take the proven action steps that got others to the goal you want to achieve.
“When you have a goal, like $5K in a month, and you hear from others that it’s possible, then you undergo the mindset shift. This mindset shift is necessary for you to begin your Zazzle journey to success.”
Earning $5K isn’t that much harder than earning $100 on Zazzle. It’s about knowing the right steps to take and having the right products set up in your Zazzle store. However, to do that you must FIRST make a mindset shift.
When we both started on Zazzle, we assumed it was hard to earn a certain amount of money. For us, earning $5K felt unachievable. It wasn’t until we found out we had to be in the right mindset and understand that $5K isn’t that much harder than earning $100 on Zazzle.
We based our assumptions of what we could achieve on our past experiences that had nothing to do with Zazzle. We also read on the Zazzle forum how people were struggling to make money on Zazzle. We were influenced by all the wrong things.
If we would have a had a Zazzle role model back in 2008 to tell us, it’s possible, then we would not have taken so long to get over our limiting. beliefs.
That is why, when we share our Zazzle earnings and those of our students with you, it’s not to brag. It’s to help you understand that if we can do it, it could be possible for you too if you do the work.
It comes down to mindset. When you have a goal, like $5K in a month, and you hear from others that it’s possible, then you undergo the mindset shift. This mindset shift is necessary for you to begin your Zazzle journey to success.
When we first started in 2008, we had a set idea of what we thought would work on Zazzle for us to make money. But after being open to new opportunities, we made so much more money.
Check in with yourself. Are you receptive to different opportunities? Whenever you catch yourself experiencing limiting beliefs, ask yourself if these limiting beliefs are true, or is it just something you are allowing to keep you in a comfort zone? The risk involved in trying new things is low on Zazzle. It’s only your time that you will lose if the products you make don’t sell. But what if they do?
Assess what’s making you money in your Zazzle store. If you are only selling low-priced items you will have to sell a lot to reach $5K a month because each only pays out a few cents royalty. Whereas a store with a variety of low, medium, and high priced items and different types of products will provide you with more opportunity to generate income.
Zazzle offers so many amazing high quality, high priced items that people don’t usually think about selling. As sellers, we initially limit our selling potential because we think buyers won’t purchase these higher priced items. However, people DO buy these items.
If you don’t have high-priced items available for sale in your Zazzle store, how will you ever make these sales?
If you set your royalty at 10% the payout will be $20 from a $200 item. That one sale is a lot less work than selling 10 t-shirts ($2 per t-shirt x 10 o make $20).

How are you going to build you Zazzle store to generate $5K a months? Start by breaking your goal down into smaller pieces. For example, break the $5K a month into what you would need to earn daily. Divide $5,000 by 30 days and you get $167 per day. You would have to make $167 every day of the month to achieve $5K a month.
Next, look at your daily earnings. What are they? If you don’t make daily sales, maybe you average out to the amount in a week which you need to reach your goal. If you do not, your first step is to find out what the difference is between your actual result and your goal. This will give you the dollar amount that you must increase to for $5K a month to become a reality.
We are not doing this to discourage you. It is meant to get you to face the reality that there is work to do.
When we first started we had lofty goals, but only dreamt and hoped it would happen. It was not until we broke down our goal and got real about what our goal meant in terms of a daily achievement that we shifted our mindset. It made us realize we can’t. keep doing what we were doing and expecting. a different result. We needed to take action steps that would lead to us achieving our goals.
How can you earn $5K in a month without being overwhelmed? What if you only needed to sell 20 products over and over again rather than one sale of thousands of different product to reach $5K a month. Let’s say you have 20 products selling well over and over again. That means each one of those products only needs to generate $250 a month in royalties. That’s about $8 per day. This strategy gives you a whole new perspective on how you can generate $5K a month.
Instead of assuming that a higher volume of product sales are necessary to make $5K a month, you could have 20 products that generate $5K a month.
Most Zazzle products pay out between $2-10 in royalty if you set your default royalty at 10%. If you have a variety of medium and high-priced products, sometimes you only have to sell each of your 20 products once a day to reach your goal. Let’s do the math: $8 x 20 products = $160 a day.
That seems less overwhelming and actually doable.
Once you look at it this way, you realize your focus has shifted from overwhelm from selling many products to establishing 20 core products that could potentially create 80% of the revenue that you want for the month ($5K). This comes back full circle to understanding what you offer in your Zazzle store right now. You have to determine whether those products are actually working for you the way you need them to be working.
Making $5K is no less difficult as making $100 if you shift your mindset. It’s a number.
You must:
Thank you so much for reading! We hope this blog post has given you actionable steps to start and scale your Zazzle business so that your passive online income can give you the location and time freedom to live your dream life.

In this post, we are talking about how to earn $1,000 a month on Zazzle. People ask us this all the time, because initially what everyone says is, “I just want to earn a certain amount on Zazzle,” but eventually they want to turn it into something consistent…

There was a time when I, Elke Clarke, was frustrated because I was not making sales on Zazzle. In fact, I only made $90 in my first year! ☹️
I experienced waves of overwhelm not knowing what to do to increase my sales in my Zazzle store. I just kept working harder and posting more products for sale. (Trust me, this does not work. ☹️)
I used to stare at my computer screen for hours not getting anything done. I was paralyzed by anxiety (Was I any good?) and FOMO (fear of missing out) because other products on Zazzle “seemed” to be selling while mine were not. ☹️
Then one day I said “NO MORE!”
I realized I could compete and sell well on Zazzle if I:
