I have had a what I felt was a great start at Zazzle with 59 sales in about five weeks. Most of which were smaller commission items but I am still very happy with the results ...

Just had another sale on Zazzle. That's 3 sales in my first two weeks. It was my "Born to Storm Chase" bumper sticker with a vector storm illustration of mine. Here is the link if you would like to see it:

In order to get the "Product Types" on your store you have insert code into the interface under Advanced / Beta tab which essentially turns the feature on ...

Here is the link that I found most helpful in setting this up:

Thanks for the congrats Madelaide

I did not get an email notifying me. Multiple people just started commenting on it with congrats  ... then I researched the forums and found out that there is suppose to be an email that is usually delayed and you find out from other sources usually before you ever see it ... if it comes. Then I was able to actually see it before it rotated off the graphic links on Zazzle's front page. I got a screen grab of it for my own documents

Today I woke up to find that I received a TBA (Today's Best Art) award and my image was briefly highlighted on Zazzle's home page

I've heard that people will often search through fan club lists.  If we make that assumption it may certainly have some impact to cross-pollenization of buyers ...

1,000, oh mine!  I'm still far from that.  But Zazzle is ahead of any of the micros already this month for me.

I hope those products translates into lots of sales. In the meantime I will continue to add to the portfolio each day and enhance my store front.

I have just passed 1000 products at my Zazzle store. Unique user traffic has been on the rise for myself. I feel my store is really starting to come together ...

How did you get that rotating panel onto your Zazzle page? I know how to get that into your blog or personal website, but did you directly edit the code on the Zazzle page to get it on your shop page?

Steve

Go To Associates / Promotion Tools / Flash Panel and it will tell you how you can customize a new one. I put it into the description field under "basic information" under "Description" at the end of my introduction ...

Some nice products!  Can I ask how well these sell - I don't have anywhere near as many products, but apart from my calendar, it has been very thin.

Steheap,

I've only just started my store 10 days ago  but I am tackling Zazzle with great enthusiasm as I usually do when I sink my teeth into something I like. I'll let you know. Its starting to get some traffic ...

A new sale yesterday and, compared to micros, Zazzle is my second best earner in May.

Madelaide,

I've joined your fanclub 

I'm new to Zazzle and have started a store of my own and will be looking forward to my first sales there.
Best of luck to you with hopefully many more sales for you in 2011. 

Here is my store link: http://www.zazzle.com/mwp1969

I've been with them for about 12 months or so, but it is generally slow - I sold some stamps in the early days !

However, I put some effort into creating a nice calendar of my best photos of Kauai, won a Best product award ( back in February), and the calendar has sold pretty well over Christmas. 8 copies sold for a total income (at 15% royalty) of $18.95! You are a bit out of control of the pricing as they had several offers on calendars during December which reduces the commission, but I guess a sale is a sale! Now I need to do a bit of editing and create a 2012 version of the calendar.

Good luck with your stores!

My plan was to get people viewing my store first before I started counting the imaginary dollars    ... then adjust my product pricing accordingly rather than being universal across all products. My one calendar just happened to be in that temporarily lower pricing as my store hasn't been out there for more than two weeks yet. I hope to cross 1000 products by the end of this next week though ...

I am about to reach the bronze canister level at Fotolia ...

Can anyone answer me if there is a noticeable difference in search placement when you attain the next canister level ?

Is there a bump in pricing / commissions for those images that are exclusive to Fotolia?

It's almost been a month and not one. What is going on??

Perhaps someone tripped over the "turn images for sale off" switch
