Top Ten Favorite Zazzle Stores
Ranked #561 in Internet, #31,100 overall
The Very Best of Zazzle
I know what you are thinking. There are already loads of articles and sites out there that tell you which are the best ones on Zazzle; in fact, some make it easier to find great stuff by getting more specific ...what are the best tshirts or the best posters, etc, et al. But you will learn at some point that I have finely refined tastes. YES! I'm joking, but just a little- I did win that art contest years ago, and all. OK, That really was a joke... However, you may discover that our tastes coincide.... and if that happens you and I will greatly enjoy one another's company and you will find this lens does a fantastic service for you:
"Top Ten Favorite Zazzle Stores" will sift through the massive amounts of products and designs on the Zazzle website and offer up a list of those who make it through my aesthetic sense and judgment. To save you time and give you a platform to jump off of into the veritable seas of STUFF on Zazzle.
I'm not the last word in what's fabulous for you, you are.
Besides the fact that there are way too many great shops to reduce it to ten, those ten will be on a changing basis over time. I'll label that they were the ten best for the spring or summer (or whatever), and when I find enough, I will give you the ten best of a category. It will simply be in the workable number of ten at a time.
Sound good? It does to me.

What Do I Think Is "The Best"?
Isn't beauty in the eye of the beholder?
What is my criteria for the best of Zazzle? I have a wide range of art that I consider beautiful, and while I love whimsy, vintage, and just plain weird also has a place., there is just so much I like that to list all the types I appreciate is just ...boring, I like lots of styles and artists, but not all... CRAFT however, is a quantifiable criteria that I think is going to matter in products like mugs and t-shirts. Some products are sort of ... I'm sorry, I just have to say it...crappy. Even though there are great tutorials, the execution is poor, sometimes due to inexperience and sometimes since some of us just aren't given to mastering the medium. That is OK- because on the other hand there are talented individuals who have mastered the graphics and placement on the available products and those are the ones I hope to find and highlight. Go ahead and mention some to me and I will take a look- I like to discover new things like that.
I happened upon this topic because one of my favorite ways of learning how to do something is expose myself to masters of the craft... a good book, photos, art, tutorials, all sorts of things that can guide me in understanding why I like what I see, and how to compare things to understand their value. Believe it or not, t-shirts are as good a thing to collect as anything else. I like to collect t-shirts from places I go (true confession).
This isn't to say there isn't value in a person's creation just because it doesn't appeal to me. All lists will only reflect the fact that I thought well of the work in those that I chose.

Graphics and Photo Software
Get great programs for your own creations
There are basic and free software programs, but if you want to work on websites, blogs, and sites like Zazzle I think you need a good graphics software. It doesn't need to be the most expensive at all- for most the Corel program is quite robust.
Once you make your products you will want to know about marketing online. Seth Godin, one of Squidoo's founders, is great as a source of info and thoughts on that.

- Breaking even on time involved? I don't know about that,but Zazzle requires no investment, so if you can sell items it would give a the profit of the royalty added to the product.
