Who are we, Jen and Elke Clarke, and how can we help you?
To sell well you must decide and focus your efforts on a niche in which you will sell well rather than trying to sell products in many niches all at once. The way to find this niche that will be profitable for you, do research on Google Trends and Google searches to see what people are searching for. Next, make a list of the interests and skills you have. If you love fly fishing and are good at watercolor, you could easily create products geared towards the fishing niche painting different types of fish or fishing accessories. These paintings or other graphic assets and photos can then be uploaded onto products Zazzle sells and posted in your Zazzle store for sale. Since you love the niche and are a customer yourself for this niche, you will be on the pulse of what people want, which will help you know what products to make that are popular.

Once you choose your Zazzle store name and open it on Zazzle, the URL can not be changed. We suggest coming up with a name that aligns with what you plan on selling in your store. Do a trademark search on TESS to see if the name you want to use is trademarked. Also check on Google to see if the name is already being used by well known companies. If these searches don’t come up with anything then you are ready to lock in your store name on Zazzle.
Zazzle let’s you set your product royalty between 5% – 99%. The royalty you set is added on top of the base price of each product Zazzle sells. We recommend you stick to between 10% – 14.9% for you to be competitive in the Zazzle marketplace. This range also makes sure you do not incur a clawback fee from Zazzle. We recommend this range for products and designs that we call general market items. For other items like canvases of artwork or photography or any product that might sell traditionally as a giclee or limited edition you can set the royalty based on what you would charge in this artist market.
In Profit by Design Academy™ Bootcamp we recommend making 100 intentional products a month using our special production plan. Using a targeted and intentional approach to posting products for sale in your store, you will create an inventory of workers that will sell for you passively while you do more fun things than work. Creating at least 100 products a month will build up your inventory over time so that in 1 year you will have 1,200 intentional products working for you to make money on Zazzle.
Zazzle is the only e-commerce platform where customers can customize the products they see for sale. You can create products with the Zazzle Design Tool that customers can add their own text and images to using your templates that you set up. This means that you can sell the same product over and over again even though each customer can customize it differently. We highly recommend designing and selling products that have a customization option.
