The Zazzle Module

The quickest and easiest way to sell Zazzle art on Squidoo is by using the Zazzle module. However, adding a Zazzle module to sell items, does not make that lensmaster any money on Squidoo.

The Zazzle store owner will make royalties from any of their products purchased through this module.

If you are a Zazzle store owner, it is an easy and quick way to give some extra promotion to your designs; or if you're feeling generous, you can enter the username of a Zazzle artist that you like, i.e. CherylsArt, or you can leave that field blank.

So if you'd like to use this module, you can fine tune your search by filling in a keyword. I typed in the word positive in the Filter by keyword box.

You can also select a product category; there is a drop down menu for the category. I selected All to have some variety of products for this example.

Then you can select whether you want to display 3, 6, or 9 products. I selected 9.

As I create new products, the items will automatically update. If I make a series of one type of product, i.e. a series of stamps or shirts, there will be more showing up in that particular product.

The text module

you can post your own affiliate links in the text module

Using the text module is a way to increase your profits from selling Zazzle art on Squidoo.

If you don't have an account on Zazzle already, you will need to register for one.

Once you have an account on Zazzle, and no you don't have to be an artist, you will need to become an associate. It generates higher earnings.

To become an associate on Zazzle, log in to your Zazzle account.
- Click on the Zazzle Icon
- Click on Sell
- Click on Associate Program - follow, apply the instructions

Once you become a Zazzle associate, log in to your Zazzle account whenever you want to post, refer any products.
- Select the product you want to post
- Click on link
- Copy the code in the second option, Copy and paste HTML
(In this example, I selected medium for the size.)
- Open the Squidoo lens you want to post the item on
- Select the Text module
- Paste the HTML code in the text module

This is how one appears without any alterations:

You are appreciated, stickers, with colorful stars sticker

Browse more You Stickers

To adjust the size of the image, look through the code for _325.jpg, change the 325 to a smaller number for a smaller image, and to a larger number for a larger image. In the following, I changed the number from 325 to 200.

Browse more You Stickers

200 is a good size if you want to list rows of items. Two will normally fit on a row, with some modifications. If I am going to make rows of items, then I might not want all the identifying text links. In that case, I will delete everything after style="border:0;" /> from the copied HTML code. Then you will get just the linked image.

Log in to your Zazzle account

before copying and pasting product and store links. This way, your Zazzle id will be included in the link. Also, make sure you become a Zazzle associate first to receive a higher commission.

Remember to add an In Assocation With Zazzle logo to your module, unless you're using the Zazzle module.

How to get your Zazzle logo

Log in to Zazzle.

Click on My Account.

Click on more promotion tools.

Click on Zazzle Homepage link.

Right click on the Zazzle image of your choice.

Click on Save image as to your computer.

It is now there for you to browse and update photo to your Squidoo Text module.

Make the In Association with Zazzle a link

Now that Squidoo had made it easy to add a related url to pictures, as in the update Text Module, you can easily make the Zazzle logo a link with your id.

Once you have uploaded the Zazzle logo to your Text Module, add the url "http://www.zazzle.com/?rf=replace this with your associate id code" to the Link the photo to this URL: box, without the quotes. Then you can label the photo with Zazzle.

Click on Update Photo, and Save. You now have a referral link made to Zazzle, with your associate id.

Posting a tie

The skinny or the rolled version

This is what a tie link looks like if copied from the medium box.

I like the rolled look of the tie. If you like the rolled look of the tie, then select the small size from the second option.

Here I searched for _125.jpg in the copied HTML code and changed the 125 to 185. I also deleted everything after style="border:0;" />.

The Featured Lens module

Easily add links to your related Squidoo lenses, and Zazzle affiliate links too

The Featured Lens module works the same as the Text Module for copying and pasting the HTML code from Zazzle.

If you have a corresponding lens that you want to showcase, then use the Featured Lens module to also add a featured lens to further compliment your subject matter.

My subject matter for this example is Peace.

Chocolate peace pie, postage stamp stamp

See other Chocolate Postage

Since it's peace I'm choosing to promote, and not chocolate in this particular case, I might choose to delete the chocolate reference. In that case I would delete everything after Cherylsart< br / >. I spaced the code here so that it would print, otherwise the br in the code would have just made a return and would not have printed.

Here is the design preceding the featured Peace lens.

Promoting lenses

Find out where else you can promote your lenses

Once you've made your Squidoo lens(es), you can promote it/them on various directories and such. Here are some links on the following lens to get you started.

Art products can help support what you want to say.

Many people wear 'causes' on their shirts, give a little extra smile with their postage, and so forth. Artists appreciate it too, as do the printers, shippers, and delivery people.

A quickie way to promote Zazzle art:

Sign up on Twitter. Then log in to your Zazzle account and tweet about favorite products, using the Twitter icon on the Zazzle product page.
