My Designs happened to win awards
I joined Zazzle.com in 2007 . I just wanted to try my luck there . I had been trying to sell my designs by cafepress.com and art.com before and I wished to see how my design looked on different Zazzle products .
This is a POD site - which means that they print on t-shirts , mugs , posters etc whatever you want . You will see how the product looks like with the design of your selection though it does not exist yet only virtually at that moment. They will create the product only after your order . It is eco -friendly solution . Thanks to the digital programs there is no need to create products that can not be sold .
When I joined Zazzle I already had a lots of designs ready as digital art is my number one hobby . I found that Zazzle was very encouraging place . Soon after I started my online designer's shop there - I got a lots of positive feedback from fellow shopkeepers ,designers .
And soon I got some awards !
There are two types of awards I got so far .
TBA = Today Best Award - it is given daily . The newly created products can win . There is a jury who decides on it. No need to apply for it . If you create a product then automatically it will be considered .
Top Ten Views Award - it is the public who decides . Nothing else matters just how many clicks you got .It can be something very simple like a plain tie or some words on a mug . It can be the world ugliest design - but it still will get this award if it got enough clicks for that .
Today I got more awards than I ever dared to dream !
I would like to show you here those designs ! Please leave your comments !

Today Best September 22, 2007
I was very much surprised . Why ? I did not know that my art will be considered without application . Telling the truth I would not have applied if that was the way to get it . I have tried at cafepress to apply for different designer competitions but I was not allowed as I was not US citizen .I was not operating out of US . They excluded every designer who was not living there !
Zazzle is wise not to do so ! A design is valuable or not - it has nothing to do with residence of the designer !
self-discovery

I know but one freedom, and that is the freedom of the mind. (Antoine de Saint-Exupery)

Top 10 Ties Views
Unexpected succes at Zazzle new sites
It was at the end of 2008 that Zazzle opened zazzle.co.uk a site for UK customers .My necktie designs seemed to be very popular as many of them got top ten views award . There were around 400 thousand neckties at that time at Zazzle .My ties were among the top ten . I was very much surprised . I kept asking myself how it happened . Google ranks high some of those designs . We always hear that adding tags ,keywords is very important . I was more confused . These designs were poorly tagged . So - it might be something about the referring sites or the title ...
Some month later zazzle .ca a Canadian Zazzle site and an Australian site was opened where my items kept ranking high .
It was nice feeling , however I felt at times that not the best ones were picked by the public ...
