New Zazzle Earning Record For The Day!

Usually, I make a little bit here and a little bit there on Zazzle, a magnet here, a mug there, just enough to keep me encouraged and enough to notice I am making a little more each month than I did the last as I add more designs to all the products. Well a couple of weeks ago while trying a new angle on titles, tags and descriptions I thought maybe I needed to cut down on the amount and type of products I post on because at this point I have been overwhelmed with needing to change them all to suit the product, the target audience and the occasion. I wasn't sure if all this extra work was going to pay off when I could be adding hundreds of new products. I'm so glad I didn't do a cull because when I looked at my earnings this morning I had made $28 commission on a couple of packs of personalized napkins I had made in the last week, and it was one of the products I was considering culling in the name of laziness! I had also sold a couple of mugs as the day went on. So the most I had ever made in a day (not counting the Christmas season) was $23.48, today I had made an awesome $45.74! I have also had so many more views on new products than anything I have ever seen before, and all of my newer products have made their way from the third pages to the first.

So I'm hoping this is the result of hard work, focus and creative and descriptive writing - thinking outside the box when it comes to keywords and descriptions, and it's really encouraging to see all this hard work pay off. So maybe the key for me isn't trying to get hundreds of thousands of products with half functioning keywords into my stores and hoping they will eventually crawl up the search, because my art isn't like most peoples work anyway, my work takes time and it's dark and beautiful for the most part with rich colors and textures. I love black! I love red! I love pink! I love gold! I love passion! I love dramatically feminine, masculine and provocative social situations and themes! And if I haven't used black I have used bright, neon colors that are eye drawing, which stick out and can't help but be noticed, and this is all what I have been trying to capture in a title, in a description, in my tags, but you only have so many words to work with which really count when products are new.

So here are a few of my products and please subscribe so you can see what I'm up to!

Addicted To Coffee

I remember my first ever coffee. I was 13 and my parents had gone to church, I decided to stay home and clean the whole house instead of go to church, or as I fondly called it, the place where fun goes to die. The very fact that I willingly stayed home knowing I had to clean the house from top to toe while they were gone says it all. They were nice, those church people, but no kid my age wants to sing music from 1 year ago let alone 100, or sit and listen to someone talk about some jibber jabber I haven't had to worry about yet in my whole 13 years of existence, for an hour of my life I was never going to get back. I wasn't allowed to have coffee yet so I decided while my parents weren't home I was going to be naughty, boil the kettle and make one for myself to try so I treated the granulated coffee like chocolate powder - two teaspoons right? No, better make that three. My step dad liked one, but I was somehow sure I needed three. My step dad liked one sugar, but I was g

Spoonflower Vs Zazzle Fabric

Image
You may not know yet but I am super excited to let you all know that Zazzle is now selling FABRIC!!! I am super excited because about a year ago I was making pram liners, I often couldn't find what the customers requested in the local shops so I began thinking about designing my own fabric to make the liners with as well as selling them on eBay and Etsy, and being able to sell on the site would have been ideal as well. So off I went on a quest to find this magical place where I would be able to place my designs up for sale and buy as well as sell my fabric and make beautiful pram liners. I found Spoonflower, and it was the only place which did all these things which I needed. So I jumped on the band wagon made an account! I soon found it wasn't going to be easy to just place an image up for sale, there were a few hoops I had to jump through to get my designs up for sale. You can make a Spoonflower account - easy! You can upload an image and see it on the fabric - easy! You ca

Birthday Presents And Christmas Gifts For Your Best Friend

Image
I'm one of the lucky ones, I have a best friend. Not everyone gets one and psychologists say you should always aim to have a good group of friends, that having a best friend is not only rare, but highly romanticized and over rated, I can tell you that it is not. I have a gorgeous group of friends and they are wonderful, we connect, we laugh, we can be honest with each other about all sorts of things, good and bad, we have a lot of fun and I know I can call or text them on a bad day and they know they can do the same. But my Bestie and I have something completely different going on, there is just something really comfortable and familiar about her, we have the same sense of humor, we have the same ethics and morals, it's like we live in the same bubble and I personally believe she is one of the most selfless and giving of all people, I have a lot of respect for her and how she lives her life. First of all, she is a support worker for people who have disabilities such as Asperg
