The hard part is deciding what products and what designs you add to those products which you’ll post for sale. You may be thinking, I already told you, I’m not creative! I can’t create designs! But that’s where you’re wrong. There are several ways you can still go about creating designs and successfully making sales.

The first option is to hire a graphic designer to create designs for you to use in your Zazzle storefront. For this, you’ll need to do some research to understand what types of designs are selling well, designs that are trending, and different niches you’re interested in so that you purchase designs intentionally. You can easily – and pretty inexpensively – hire a graphic designer from a platform like UpWork.com. 

From there, it’s time to upload the designs onto products and post them for sale in your store. The Profit by Design Academy® will walk you through step by step on how to post your products for sale to get the most possible views and provides a proven monthly product production strategy so that you can build out your store inventory.

Another way to generate designs is to buy graphics on a site like Etsy. This way, you’re less involved in the design process. You need to verify, though, when you do this that the graphics you’re buying are okay to use on the Zazzle platform. 

The final way you can create designs even if you’re not creative is to go through design training. Our Profit by Design Academy® training program is a coaching program as well as a training that covers how to properly design on the Zazzle platform. In the program, not only will you learn how to use Zazzle’s design tool, but you will also gain an understanding of how to list items correctly, tag them to optimize sales, and so on.

Now that you understand your ability to generate designs to use on Zazzle without having to be naturally creative, I want to share two success stories from The Acdemy that have used the strategies I just shared to receive substantial passive income on the platform.
