Episode 105 - If you think you need to sell a certain product to be successful in your Zazzle business or that you have to aim for a broad audience in order to sell, think again! We're here today to challenge any assumptions you may have about selling on Zazzle.
In the episode, we're going to go over:
The most popular products on Zazzle The more unusual products you can sell if you don't care for the common ones How narrowing down your customer pool will actually help you sell more in the long runDoes that sound strange? How can designing your products for a smaller audience result in bigger sales? The concept is called niching down, and we're going to explain exactly how it helps you sell more by designing your products to appeal to a smaller group of buyers.

Episode 103 - From a history teacher to a Zazzle seller, our client Denise has an inspiring story! Denise is a prime example that you can make a sustainable retirement income from Zazzle, as she’s been able to fully replace her teacher’s salary with this business.

We cover all of this ground and how Denise got to this point in her journey on today’s episode of the podcast, where she’s our guest. She gets into how she started on the platform, how our work together has enhanced her journey, and where she’s going from here.
Here are the topics we discuss today:

Episode 102 - It’s not uncommon for online business owners to feel overwhelmed by everything they have to do to make their venture a success. Our client Sandra experienced this but was able to overcome the overwhelm of her Zazzle storefront and start really pursuing her goals. That’s what today’s episode centers around, as she joins us to chat about her Zazzle journey. Sandra found that when she breaks down her goals into bite-size pieces and narrows in on just a few items of focus at a time, she has a much better success rate as well as a better mindset. This has been a huge part of her success on the platform, as well as the work she’s done with us. Here are the topics we discuss today: How to Overcome Overwhelm of a Zazzle Business Sandra’s Zazzle Success Her PDA Takeaways This episode is all about Sandra’s ability to shed that feeling of overwhelm and start feeling confident in her business. Once she started treating her Zazzle storefront as a business instead of a hobby, she was able to really ramp up that confidence, which has made a world of difference for her. The same could be true for you!

Episode 101 - All too often, people associate the use of technology with the younger generation. However, in talking with our client Michele, we were reminded that people of all ages can make use of technology. It’s especially powerful when combined with the opportunity to sell on Zazzle, which is exactly what Michele has done to generate a retiree income.
Michele is a creative that was in search of an outlet that could help her generate income after retiring. That’s where Zazzle came in - and more specifically - that’s how we started working with her. Michele attended our retreat in Mallorca, and we’ve been working together ever since. She’s on this episode of the podcast talking about her experience.
Here are the topics touched upon with Michele:
Why Michele Started Selling on Zazzle Managing Self Doubt Through the Process The Two Choices Michele FacedMichele has such an inspiring story and we have loved watching her grow and evolve throughout her Zazzle journey. She believes in herself now more than ever, and there’s nothing more uplifting than that!

Episode 100 - This is our 100th podcast episode (!!) and to celebrate, we’re bringing back one of our most successful clients as a guest to chat. Christine has been on the podcast twice before, and she has so much wisdom to share through her Zazzle journey. While she was once happy making her first $1k on the platform, she realized through her work with us her HUGE potential on Zazzle. Since then, she has made six figures on the platform, and this is only the beginning for her.

Episode 97 - Jen is sharing a story that’s near and dear to her heart on this episode of the podcast. She’s diving into her choice to drop out of business school for a more aligned path. From there, she really ramped up her Zazzle business - with the help of her mom, Elke, and the five strategies she developed for Zazzle success.
This is a deeply personal story about Jen pursuing happiness and alignment in her life. While she had always been a great student, after two years of business school, she discovered it simply wasn’t the right path for her. What she was able to create after dropping out has given her so much freedom, joy, and abundance in her life.
Here are the topics she and Elke touch upon in the conversation:
Jen’s Business School Journey Jen’s Transition to Zazzle An Amazing Journey to Freedom and Happiness Forging Your Own Online Business PathEveryone has the right to choose their own path, and hopefully this episode reinstills that in you when you listen. While breaking the mold and doing something different than what society dictates as “normal” may be intimidating, sometimes it can be the best choice you can make!

Episode 96 - This week’s podcast episode is taking you back in time to 2007 - when Elke first started on Zazzle! She’s been on the platform for 14 years, and we’ve both learned a lot about it in that time. But today, we’re talking about the first $100 that Elke ever made on Zazzle.
This recollection and reflection is intended to help you understand some key learnings on your own Zazzle journey. The beginning can be tough: there’s a lot of uncertainty along with so much to learn and understand.
Here are the topics we discuss:
What is Zazzle? More Than a Website Making Your First $100 on Zazzle Go In With a Plan Don’t Just Throw Spaghetti Against the Wall Don’t Give Up - Believe In Yourself!We want you to know that you’re not alone in your Zazzle journey, whether you’ve earned $0 or $10 million. All that matters is that you continue to believe in yourself and don’t give up. You started on the platform for a reason, so keep at it to meet your goals and achieve your dream life - just like we have.

Episode 95 - This week’s podcast episode wraps up our comparison of five different print on demand (POD) platforms to Zazzle! This has been a really fun series, and we hope that you’ve gotten a lot of value out of it. In this final comparison, we’re diving into the details of Minted compared to Zazzle.
Minted is a more prestigious brand that shoppers go to looking for high-end and luxury paper items or art. While there are definitely some big draws to the platform, there are also some serious cons that you should be aware of if you’re considering Minted for your online business journey.
Here are the different criteria we touch upon:
Ease of Use Cost Number of Potential Customers Earnings Potential Exclusive Rights to Design on Minted Product Availability Niche or Type of Market Attracted Design Versatility Production EfficiencyWe hope that this episode opens you up to the hoops you have to jump through to potentially sell your designs on Minted, and all the red tape that comes along with that. Furthermore, we hope that this series has given you all the facts you need to decide which POD platform is right for you.

Episode 94 - Another week, another POD platform comparison! This episode continues to give you the chance to learn more about online business platforms to help decide which is right for you. Today, we (Jen and Elke) are doing something a bit different, since Etsy is not as straightforward of a POD (Print on Demand). Nonetheless, we’re bringing you a comparison between two popular online selling platforms: Zazzle and Etsy.
Etsy is a majorly popular platform in today’s world - for both buyers and sellers alike! It’s a household name, but even so, you may not have all the relevant information about selling on the platform. There’s a lot to know, so we do our best to break it down here!
Here are the different criteria we touch upon:
What is Etsy? Ease of Use Number of Customers Passive POD Business Model Cost of Operation Earnings Potential Product Availability Customization Options Type of Market Design VersatilityAfter hearing this episode, we hope that you can make a more informed decision on which platform you can best run your online business. While it’s about making a great profit, it’s also important to examine where you can have the best work/life balance, which we address in this comparison.
