great info. i have really got to buckle down and start promoting my zazzle products. Seems creating your own pins is the most effective way to do this... thanks again.
Hi, so glad to have found you. Love how you explain things. Just subscribed to your channel, now I have to find the other videos. on how to work on Zazzle.😀
Lisa, I followed the link you sent me to this video. It's a great presentation. Any links on how to write a blog? If so, please share. Thanks again 🙂👍🏽
I am posting on both pinterest and instagram.. But I get few views or interactions. I'm doing much better on pinterest, although only since I started pinning video pins... Still I'm getting almost no views on my zazzle products. I've tweeked ALL of my listings and somewhat concerned. It's hard to stay enthused after 4 months... I do post on facebook as well.. I get "likes", but no actual zazzle visits.. Thanks for the video... You have confirmed a few of my "pin" suspicions!!... 👍 Maybe a video on titles... I changed all my titles to be more buyer focused.. but see no real results.....
Hey, sorry I'm just seeing this comment now! I'm sorry you aren't getting any results from pinning and insta. It does get frustrating and it's hard to keep doing something without seeing results. but I hope you do get some soon! There's so much competition these days with print on demand shops, but if you stick with it, you'll get there!
The way I do it, is I download the photo or use the cover photo I made, upload it to the blog, then copy the url to the product and link it. If you want to get commission and a referral fee, make sure to add your associate # to the end of your URL.
Thank you for posting on this topic. I have a question about how you set up your Pinterest account. I also have a blog that is claimed on my Pinterest account but how do you get your Zazzle pins to show up under the created tab? Whenever I pin directly from Zazzle the only show up on my boards and not the created tab. They get very few views.
Yeah to show up on the created tab, you have to upload a picture of your product instead of sharing straight from zazzle. It sucks that it is more beneficial to do this this way cuz it takes more time. So I go back and forth between doing both.
When you copy the link from your own product on Zazzle the affiliate link is included. I didn’t notice how she did it here, but it may have been in the link she got. @bedesign3121
Can you talk more about how you use your blog to promote your products? Do you have one blog for each store? If you have more than one blog how are you handling posting to multiple blog? Can you give us some insight into your work flow? I’m starting a Zazzle store that I want to promote through a blog and I’m trying to get my head around what the work flow would look like. Thank you in advance for any help! 😁
Sorry I'm just seeing all the comments on this video today so I'm responding so late! But I see many have interest in the blogging subject so I think I will work this week on a blogging video. Thanks for watching Rebecca!
A little late to the party but I'll give you an example of my workflow... (1) Create a product, and really work on having a good title and description (which ChatGPT helps to write). (2) On a WordPress blog dedicated to the Zazzle store, do a blog post with an identical title, with the blog text starting with the tile description and a featured image of the product, followed by an ai-written short story with SEO optimized subtitles, related to the product in question. All of this text is broken up by images, (2a) WordPress gallery blocks, with each image leading to another Zazzle product in the same collection. Either in the article or in a widget that appears on every page, there's (2b) the Zazzle HTML code for the collection itself. On the WordPress side, it's set to auto-post the new product to Facebook, Instagram, Tumblr, and LinkedIn. On the Pinterest side, you can set up an RSS feed that goes back to WordPress to auto-snag those new posts/products and stick them in an appropriate board. One nice advantage of WordPress is that you can SCHEDULE those posts so that if you're cranking out multiple products, you can spread them out. For SEO, I've also set up WordPress categories for each separate product type, and for each Collection aka Theme that matches the Zazzle store. I'll stop here before I write a mini-novel buried in the comments :)
@@HappyZazzling You're most welcome. Glad to contribute .My own stores may not have much traction yet, but when it comes to setting up the technical side, that's my strong suite. Computer programmer since the 80's. Feel free to pick my brain 😃 Speaking of which, I've not browsed your entire set of Zazzle videos, but here's some info that could be made clearer. Zazzle uses the term "template" to refer to boilerplates that our customers can fill in with their own info on a product. That's all well and good, but what about OUR templates as designers. Maybe I'm missing something obvious? For example, I want to design multiple greeting cards, but I don't want to have to design the BACK of each card every time (store name, logo, QR code). That's identical on every card, and if there's a way to accomplish that, it sure is unintuitive.
@@1WhoConquers I so feel this with not having "templates" for us sellers. The back of cards drives me nuts. I now have made a logo I stick on the back of each card depending on which store I'm working in. But yeah having templates would be nice for certain things on Zazzle. I probably will take you up on that offer to pick your brain on the tech side of things!

P.S. I just subscribed to your TH-cam channel.
Thank you so much!!! I really appreciate that!
When you post a picture of your products on your website, does Zazzle provide a link to the product on their website or just a general link to zazzle
The way I do it, is I download the photo or use the cover photo I made, upload it to the blog, then copy the url to the product and link it. If you want to get commission and a referral fee, make sure to add your associate # to the end of your URL.

Why you didn't do affiliate for your products?
I was about to ask the same thing. Does anyone know where we can locate the affiliate links?
When you copy the link from your own product on Zazzle the affiliate link is included. I didn’t notice how she did it here, but it may have been in the link she got. @bedesign3121
When you are signed into your Zazzle shop, it automatically adds your affiliate link.
I really like your voice.
Well, thank you.
