Make Money With Zazzle without being an Artist

I am an artist. I do abstract modern art. I also do whimsical cute designs.
I make money creating and selling art on Zazzle.com http://www.zazzle.com/abundancelovetrip
Even the non artist can make money on Zazzle without having to post one single product.

You don't have to be an artist or photographer to make money with zazzle.com by promoting the artists and brands you love you can get a % of the sale.
If all you can draw is stick figure you can make money.
You do is have to be passionate about art and artists you want to promote.

Do the things you love to do, blog, tweet, chat with friends at face book.
This lens will teach you the know how to make extra cash as well as to find and discover new artists.

How it Works

What is Zazzle.com? Zazzle.com is an online community of artists and
photographers including me and some artists included in this free report.
Zazzle artists create their own custom designs on a large variety of
products. Products include invites, shirts, skateboards, business
products, mugs, aprons, key chains, Christmas ornaments and hundreds more.

If you are not an artist and love art and creative design, you can still make money from Zazzle by promoting other people's artwork. When using the Zazzle referral plan, you will use a unique code in a link that you can share on Twitter, Facebook, your blog or website about my products or other artist's products and you receive a percentage of any sales. This affiliate program has no fees for joining.

If my sale is a referral from you, I will forfeit a bonus fee. However, I would not have made a sale otherwise if people like you hadn't referred the customer to my items. I love the idea of other people making money by promoting my art.

Here are some key points about the referral program:

1. If a customer decides to buy a different product than mine and the
customer has not clicked on another referral link, you will get a
bonus for that sale.

2. You get a percentage from everything the customer buys using my
referral link for up to 40 days. This is providing they do not click
on another seller's referral link or clear the cookies from their
computer.

3. Neither you nor I distribute or ship the products the customer
orders. Zazzle takes care of all order shipments and customer service.
Here is a link that you can direct customers to if they have questions
or items to return: http://www.zazzle.com/mk/welcome/first/contactus

4. You can lose income if a customer cancels their order, which does
happen from time to time. There are a few things to be aware of and to
avoid lessening the likely hood of Zazzle or the printer cancelling the order. The printer will reject products created from unlicensed merchandise, stolen images. It is important not to promote or refer sellers that feature designs that you know will lead to an
order being rejected.

5. How It Works -

A simple way to promote is to join zazzle. Log in.
Open the link to a product you like and use the share this function.
It really makes it easy.
The best place to learn more about how to make referrals and for more
moneymaking opportunities is at Zazzle University. There you will find
videos, tutorials, and much more:

http://university.zazzle.com/post/116520729/introducing-the-zazzle-referral-link-builder

6. Blogs -
A great way to promote referrals is to promote them on your blog. Many
Zazzle sellers agree that by blogging, your posts are picked up very
quickly by the search engines and you can make multiple sales from the
same post. One popular blog you might consider is http://blogger.com,
which is free to use and they allow you to generate income using
Google AdSense. A very effective way to promote your blog is by
posting comments on other blogs. Take care to not spam and only leave
relevant comments to the article the blog owner has posted about on
their blog.

7. Zazzle offers daily reminders of new items that have been posted by
the sellers you promote straight to your email. To take advantage of
this opportunity you simply join the seller's fan club, which is free.
For an example, you can see my fan club here: There is a Join fan club button on my main shop page.http://www.zazzle.com/abundancelovetrip If the shop owner has a high volume of listing items each day, you might consider setting your reminder notifications to weekly or monthly for that seller.

8. Avoid promoting Zazzle seller stores that have music or videos on
their home page. Having these things on a seller's home page can make
the upload time much longer. Keep in mind that many customers are
shopping on their lunch breaks and want to view as many items or
stores as possible.

9. In order to promote another store, you will first need to register for a free account with Zazzle. Once that is completed, sign in to
your Zazzle account. Next, click on a particular item you would like
to promote in the Zazzle seller's store. Just underneath the photos of
the item is the 'share this' icon and link. To find your personal
Associate ID Number, look in the 'Associate' section of your Zazzle
store. There you will find your Associate ID Number and a sample link
that you can copy and test to make sure you are logged in using your
ID number and not someone else's.

10. To earn a referral bonus, your referrals can come from
your blog, twitter, facebook, or website.

11. If you would like to use Squidoo.com to promote your
referrals, you will need to use a text module as the Zazzle module
does not currently work for referrals.

How to Add Zazzle Products to Your Lens Step by Step

Add a Text Module to your squidoo. They do have a Zazzle module but this way
Gives you referrals. (I use the zazzle module in this lens so it has no RF numbers)

1. Make sure your signed into your Zazzle account
2. To go to any product even one that's not yours
3. Look for little cross it will say share this. Its was orange and white but now looks redish and white.
4. Near the cross is a button link that says Link. Open it. Another window will open. Make sure its opened up to link to this. Option 2. Is Copy and paste HTML. Copy the code.
5. Paste into text module and save. Do again until the number of products look good to you.
6. This also can be used for blogger. There are other ways to add products to your lens but this Gives you more control of how it looks.
7. On each product there is also a twitter button. If you're sign for twitter. You can send tweets of products right from the product page.

How to use the Zazzle Referral Plan for your Small Business, Including Etsy

1. You can use money made by referrals to buy Zazzle business cards and other products you can use to promote your small business.
2. You can trade pr with zazzlers whose work you admire.
3. Zazzle module don't count as unique modules. So your not only making less money but more work for yourself.
4. It gives you more control over how the lens looks. I can choose more specific products that fit better than key word.
5. It will save you time from having to upload a lot of art. All it is coppy and paste.
6. let's say you sell vintage handbags on Etsy or Zibbet shop. You could write a lens on creating fashion and look up fashion related art on Zazzle.

For Writers and Novelists: How to Use Zazzle Promote your Writing

Zazzle adds easy art to your blog that can complement your writing. You're a fantasy writer you can add some lovely products of amazing fantasy artists giving a distinct look to your blog. Now, if you write literature their many products from photographers and fine artists. If you write non-fiction articles on eco friendly products you can use the referral plans to highlight eco friendly products. This will save time. You won't have to hunt pictures down on the web and asking permission for each item.
It will help you promote your writing while at the same time save you time so you can devote your time to writing.
You can use some of the referral profits to promote your writing further such as buy business cards or other promotional items.

If you self publish you can put your book covers on products as well. You can direct fans of your books where they can buy these items.

Smaller low cost items such postcards, photo cards can go into media kits.

Mugs, and bags, and cell phone covers can be door prizes for events.

Some Zazzle artists are willing to do custom jobs as well. They will still own rights to their art but can create products that only you can buy to promote your items.
