Hi there
I have a large vector portfolio, and someone at SS forum advised me to try my images as products on Zazzle. I've found that the design process is really time-consuming and I'm now finding out from this forum that the promotion aspect is really lacking, and I agree - why should all the burden be on the contributor, when the payback is so small?
Not sure if anyone posted this helpful linkhttp://www.squidoo.com/zazzle-gallery-promotion] [url]http://www.squidoo.com/zazzle-gallery-promotion (http://[url)[/url] - 48 ways to promote you Zazzle store. Seems like a crazy amount of work!
My other concern is that there is no review process or quality control. Surely they will just be drowned in mediocre or poor products? Then we have to make more effort to get people to find our good designs...
I'd appreciate any advice on whether this is worth pursuing, given the amount of effort required?
Thanks!

i had exactly the same response as you - there are some people who report good results after a lot of work, though

I think that's an understatement. The only way Zazzle works is if you have your own channels of promotion. Otherwise it's just a giant haystack in which to put your needles.

Hm, is CafePress any better? Or are there any that show good results and promote your products?

Zazzle seems better than CafePress. I still haven't put much effort in to Zazzle and haven't sold much but from what I've read, people do better there.
