Want Graphics? Promote Zazzle Designs

1. Go to Zazzle.com and "Sign In" at the top.
   
2. Click "I am new to Zazzle" and go through the registration process.
   
3. Once you have an account, log into Zazzle.
   
   
4. Search Zazzle for designs using: (a) the search box at the top of any Zazzle page, (b) Zazzle Categories and tags, or (c) a Google Image Search restricted to site:www.zazzle.com
   
   
5. Once you are viewing a product with a design you like, click "Link" below the product picture. Note there are also special buttons to help you build referral links for blogs and social media services (click the + sign for other services).
   
   
6. Customize how the design will display on your web page. Choose "Design" instead of "Product" view if you just want the graphic, but note you should also credit the artist with a link back to make it clear where it comes from:
   
   
   
   
7. Copy the codes. Grab the html code (the second box) if you're happy with Zazzle's default codes, which create an image and a artist's credit (linked) caption under it. Paste it wherever you want the image to appear!
   
   
8. OR, if you want to fine-tune the layout, caption or size of your Zazzle graphic, align the images using HTML, or use my HTML Zazzle templates, which simply require you to plug in the REFERRAL LINK to the product page (the first box above), and the Image URL (the third box).

• DO:Include the referral link.
  Use the codes Zazzle provides to make the referral link.

• DON'T:Download the image or upload the image anywhere else (like, say, a Text with BIG PICTURE module). This is a rare case where hotlinking is allowed, and in fact, absolutely required.
  Don't link the image to anything other than its Zazzle product page.
  Don't use the image as a Squidoo Lens Logo.

• Include an artist's credit.
  
  
• Use a Call to Action like "Buy this Poster on Zazzle" or "Get This on Zazzle." If a sales pitch is too abrasive for your lens, at least include a "by so-and-so on Zazzle" caption that makes it clear the item is for sale.
  
  
• Make sure your referral code is there! (It is listed on your ASSOCIATES tab). At the end of each Zazzle referral image or link, there should be a code starting with "rf=" followed by some numbers.
  
  
• TIP: memorize the first 3 numbers of your referral code so you can easily check for it!
  
  
• RATE THE ZAZZLE DESIGN! Give your Zazzler a boost.
  
  
• For SEO purposes, you may wish to add or tweak the image's alt-name. (See my SEO tutorial)

“An associate is under no obligation to ask permission to list a product using the [Zazzle] links that are provided for that purpose. [...] What is not allowed is copying the image instead of linking to it. Any image used must be the image stored on the Zazzle web site. This gives the designer and Zazzle a way to remove the image if there is a need.

Designers cannot both have their product public AND prevent associates from using them. If a designer does not want an associate to promote their product they can remove it from public display and promote it by direct link only."
