It has been fourteen years since I first found Zazzle, the print on demand website.
My first attempts to post items was disappointing but I stuck with the site. It took two years of trying to sell my first item.
Since 2013 I have sold thousands of items and earned some good income. Receiving several checks a year.
I receive a royalty on my own items, or as a nice bonus I receive a commission for posting links to other designers items.
Now it might seem strange that I would post links to other peoples items, but lets be honest. Some designers have better design skills than I do.
They often work in niche areas. Lets say Wedding Invitations, and Wedding Invitations are very lucrative. People buy those in bulk.
Now me, I like mugs.
I put some of my own art work on mugs. But generally people only buy one mug. So I am in my little bubble of mugs where I am happiest.
Mugs gain some traction but the commissions on Wedding Invitations is the meat and potatoes of my income.
You can look into affiliate marketing with Zazzle. Just follow the link below. It's also a link to one of my own mugs but from there you can take a look at Zazzle and possibly sign up as an affiliate.
Once you have your account set up, you can create themed collections, set up a store to create and sell your own items or share the work of others for a very reasonable commission.
