Episode 82 - When you’re not naturally inclined to be creative, it may cause you to erroneously believe that the Zazzle platform isn’t the place for you to generate a passive income using PODs or print on demand. I (Elke) am here to tell you that your assumption is way off base! In today’s episode of the Creative and Ambitious Entrepreneur podcast, I, Elke, explain how you can make money on the platform even if you’re not a natural-born creative or designer.

In order to understand how Zazzle can work for you, I want you to gain insight into the different ways you can make money on the platform and how you can attain designs without having to necessarily make them yourself. It’s all possible!

Here are the topics I expand upon in the episode:

• The 2 Ways You Can Make Money on Zazzle
• How to Generate Designs That Will Sell Even if You Are Not Creative
• Client Case Study #1: Christine’s Zazzle Success
• Client Case Study #2: Brandon’s Zazzle Success 

Even if you’re not design-savvy, hope is not lost when it comes to making money on Zazzle. This is still an amazing opportunity to create a passive income stream that you can spend minimal time on on a monthly basis. This episode goes into detail on how to make that vision a reality!

Episode 81 - It may seem like an impossible goal to make $1Million in sales on Zazzle, but I (Elke) promise you that it’s a completely feasible feat! In today’s episode of the Creative and Ambitious Entrepreneur podcast, I, Elke, pave the road to setting and meeting this goal on the Zazzle platform.

Zazzle is amazing for sellers that want to rely on the platform to do most of the heavy lifting - printing on demand, shipping, and taking care of customer service. This leaves room for sellers to do what they do best: create! With that being said, it can still be overwhelming to understand how an online Zazzle shop can meet your lofty sales goals when you’re new to the Zazzle platform.

I go into detail on how to approach sales and the possibility of meeting that exciting $1Million mark. Here are the topics I expand upon in the episode:

• Breaking It Down In Terms of Numbers
• How Is $1Million In Sales Possible?
• What Is The Expected Timeline?

Thanks to my years of experience on Zazzle and the work I have done with my clients in The Profit by Design Academy®, I have a great deal of experience in online sales, personally collecting Zazzle royalties, and increasing my clients’ income on the platform. I am excited to share that knowledge with you today!

In today’s episode of the Creative and Ambitious Entrepreneur podcast, I, Elke, am sharing the lessons I’ve learned over the past 15 years in the online business space. I wish I knew these things back when I started selling on Zazzle—but now I am able to share the knowledge with you!

These lessons are extremely valuable to anyone on Zazzle, whether you’re just starting your journey on the Zazzle platform or you’ve already started and are looking for more ways to build momentum and enhance your success. 

I will go into detail about what led me to these lessons through my own experience on Zazzle. Here are the 6 points I cover:

1. Treat It Like a Business, Not a Hobby
2. Let Go Of Your Artistic Ego
3. Serve the Customer, Not Your Earnings Goal
4. Set Goals So That You Will Reach Them
5. Have a Proven Plan 
6. Act As If You’re Already Earning What You Want

Both Jen and I only earned $90 each in our first year on Zazzle. Now, as of 2022. The two of us combined have earned $1.5 million. We’re proud of our accomplishments and are excited to share what lessons we’ve learned so that your journey will be smoother and less stressful.
