When Brandon started with us he had a Zazzle store that only made $500 a year.
Brandon’s success story starts in June 2017 when he enrolled in The Profit By Design Academy™ to learn how to implement our 5 Strategies into his online Zazzle business.
We use The 5 Strategies to create successful Zazzle businesses and still use these strategies today. They are: Establish, Create, Announce, Align, Analyze™.
If you’d like to learn more about The 5 Strategies, be sure to check out episode 2 of The Creative and Ambitious Entrepreneur Podcast where we dive deeper into each one.
Brandon decided to start a brand Zazzle new store following the step by step video training of The Profit By Design Academy™.
He filled his new Zazzle store with products based on the list of the 50 top-selling products on Zazzle provided in The Profit By Design Academy™.
After following our 5 Strategies outlined in the course for 4 months, Brandon had made $500, the amount he usually made in one year in his old Zazzle store.
By the end of December 2017, Brandon had made over $2,000 through his new store.
In 6 months following our course, Brandon had earned more than what used to take him 4 years.
Brandon has a 9-5 corporate job. He does Zazzle on the side. He followed our work schedule which recommends that you work 20 hours a month on Zazzle. In that 20 hours, you create 100 products a month, promote and manage your Zazzle store.
Due to his job commitments, Brandon was not always able to reach the 20 hours, but he always made Zazzle a priority when he had the time. The takeaway is that Brandon worked even less than 20 hours a month in some months and still achieved results because he implemented the course training and used the time he had effectively.
Jump ahead to March 2018. Brandon realizes that in order to up his game and achieve bigger results, he needs accountability and guidance to more effectively implement the finer aspects of The 5 Strategies. So he enrolled in The Profitable Membership™. This is our membership program which you can add on to The Profit by Design Academy™ when you enroll. In The Profitable Membership™ a new masterclass is released every month to help you dive deeper into implementing the 5 Strategies to reach consistent $5K months.
Joining our membership was a crucial part of Brandon’s progress.
In April 2018, Brandon had his first $1,000 month!
In the podcast, we share with you Brandon’s feedback his experience in The Creative CEO Mastermind™ held in June 2019. The mastermind consisted of five days of coaching with us. He recalls that it was an amazing experience that made his business skyrocket. This allowed him to continue to grow, learn and ask those 6 and 7-figure business questions to make his success possible. Brandon loved the direct access to both of us to get his questions answered fast and use his time efficiently.
By the end of 2019, Brandon not only achieved his goal of $60,000 in one year but he exceeded it. Brandon shares that after he invested in our course, our membership and our mastermind he was able to achieve a much bigger goal in less time than he expected. This was in part due to the perfect combination of training he received through our course and membership, and our coaching which he received through our mastermind..
Brandon came to us from a place of uncertainty and in doubt about the possibility of having a successful Zazzle business. Once he started doing the course, The Profit By Design Academy™, he realized what he was not doing properly on his own. The determination to succeed was always within Brandon, he just needed the right tools, proven plan and coaching.
If you’ve been working hard on Zazzle for a long time without achieving the earnings results that you want, it may be because you don’t have the right tools, the proven plan to follow or Zazzle experts to coach you.
Three years after enrolling in The Profit by Design Academy™, Brandon received his notice from Zazzle that he had achieved Zazzle Gold ProDesigner status. He has achieved over $100,000 in lifetime earnings from US-based sales on Zazzle.
We are excited for Brandon’s success because he had struggled for 5 years on his own and only made $2,500. After receiving our help he sold over 1 million dollars-worth of Zazzle products and earned over $100,000 in 3 years. #CRUSHINGIT
If you find yourself stuck and not able to reach your Zazzle earnings goal on your own, like Brandon, seek help from Zazzle experts. When you invest in yourself and in your Zazzle business it could be a game changer, like it was for Brandon. On his own Brandon struggled for 5 years and only made $2,500 in total. After receiving our help he made $100,000 in 3 years and is now on his way to earning his second $100,000!
Instead of feeling frustrated and unsure what steps to take, Brandon now has the confidence, tools, proven plan and support he needs to keep scaling his Zazzle business. The difference was that he enrolled in The Profit by Design Academy™, joined The Profitable Membership™ and took part in The Creative CEO Mastermind™ and received the help he needed to achieve the results he wanted that he could not achieve on his own.
