Any experience with Zazzle?

(1/27) > >>

Peiling:
I think I heard someone mention Zazzle in one of the threads. Curious so went to take a look. Looks like a thriving website. Would like to ask if anyone has experience with it as it is for selling custom tshirts, posters, mugs, cards etc. Sounds interesting but only get 10% commission it seems.
Can someone with experience at Zazzle give feedback? Thanks!

Pixart:
Can we add Cafe Press to same question?  I think you can set your own price there and they give you the difference.

Thanks for asking Peiling - I'd wondered myself.

Haven't registered at zazzle, but recently opened some shops at CafePress.  Haven't uploaded too much yet but I've had 6 sales total and 5 on this image http://www.cafepress.com/babyyorkie  (a microstock reject :D).  You can set your own price.

I have a couple of items at both Zazzle and CafePress.  No sale.  I haven't dedicated them much attention yet, though.

My wife has a Zazzle site and she does okay.  We're not going to be retiring  and buying the cabin in the mountains yet... but it's like anything else.  Once you put the items up there, in time they sell.  I have read experiences of some folks who make a good living on Zazzle and Cafepress.  But these have to make it a fulltime job and they have hundreds of items for sale and also, many link-out to other sites they are involved with.
   My son (adult) has a Cafepress site. He does fair as well. He sells graphic design tee's. All original art he's knock out on adobe. Most of his work is outdoors related, kayaking, whitewater and canoeing...  For him it is only a fun thing.  He sells a tee and some misc items weekly.  Again, not big money, just fun money.  I've tried to encourage him to put some of his designs up on the micros as illustrations.
  They are both like any other type of site,  you do have to put some work into it.  And like micro, you need to keep adding fresh material to keep in the public eye.  I don't know the exact terms, but I'm pretty sure you set your own price for the items, they take their managing cut.  I think my kid clears 4 and 5 bucks for each tee. .....

The wife has been on a few different sites like that. She tried her photography (mostly landscape, b&w) on Art Wanted.  But that turned out to be pretty much a 'buddy club'. She'd actually get mail from others on the site bargaining and bartering for comments on each other work....  she tired of that phoniness real fast and dropped out.    8) -tom
