How to Be Productive in Your Zazzle Business

Do you wish you had more time to spend on your Zazzle business so you could increase your income? How would you feel if we told you that you don’t need more time to make more money? When you know how to be productive in your Zazzle business it’s possible to make a six-figure income working 5 hours a week. Read on to find out how.

How to Be Productive

Our million dollar Zazzle businesses are built on a foundation we call The 3 Pillars™, the second of which is “Passive”. Zazzle is a passive income model because we can earn money from our stores even when we’re not working on them.

How to Be Productive

Our million dollar Zazzle businesses are built on a foundation we call The 3 Pillars™, the second of which is “Passive”. Zazzle is a passive income model because we can earn money from our stores even when we’re not working on them. That’s not to say that we don’t need to do any work at all. We can follow a passive work model, which means we work smarter, not harder.

In our last post we talked about how to achieve your goals by looking at them backwards. We demonstrated how it’s easier to meet your goals by selling items in your store that people buy in bulk. Instead of selling 167 tote bags to 167 people to make $167 a day, you could sell 85 destination wedding themed tote bags to two brides each day to make the same amount of money. 

This is a great example of the passive work model. You spend the time you have wisely, making products that bring you the best dollar return on your time investment. 

Let’s take a look at the stories of two of our most successful students to see how they worked smarter to make more money with the limited time they had available.

Engage, LEARN, IMPLEMENT

Brandon worked smarter by being intentional with his product creation

Make Zazzle products with intention

Brandon was the first of our students to reach $100,000 in lifetime earnings in his Zazzle business. We love to share his story because he scaled his business to that level in three years working 5 hours a week. He literally didn’t have any more hours to devote to his store, and some months he had no time at all. 

Brandon was able to generate a six-figure income in three years because he spent the time he had wisely. 

He followed the step-by-step training in The Profit by Design Academy™ to set up his store properly creating a solid foundation for his future success. Then he used Elke’s 50 Bestselling Products List that is available to all of our academy students to fill his store with the products that would give him the best dollar return on his time investment.

Christine worked smarter by being intentional with her product research

Research Zazzle products so you know what sells

Christine was our second student to reach Zazzle Pro Gold Designer status with $100,000 lifetime earnings. What’s more she generated the one million dollar worth of sales to generate that $100,000 in one single year!

If you’re thinking that in order to do that she must have worked on her Zazzle store from sun up until sun down you’d be mistaken. Christine works full-time in her parent’s business and Zazzle is her side hustle. She earned that six-figure income in one year working 20 hours a month on her Zazzle store. 

As Christine’s story demonstrates when you limit the amount of time you have to spend on your store it forces you to be more intentional. Instead of randomly creating products (which Jen likes to call throwing spaghetti at the wall) Christine took the time to research trends and only made products she knew would sell. 

She also worked smarter not harder by using Elke’s Money Multiplier Strategy™ to take the designs that sold in her store and multiply them into more bestsellers.

How to Be More Productive in YOUR Zazzle Business

Brandon and Christine are not alone in their success. Collectively our students have sold more than six million dollars worth of Zazzle products.

They did this by:

  • – Being intentional with their time
  • – Following our step-by-step plan to build a strong foundation for their business
  • – Creating products that give them the best dollar return for their time spent
  • – Researching trends to create products with intention instead of throwing spaghetti at the wall
