Hello,so for the second Part here I’m actually going to skip over file storage and inventory reference sheet. I still plan on addressing this but I want to have a little more time to set up my Excel Files.Anyway, let’s take a look at Zazzle.Sales on Zazzle generally give good commission and they are COMPLETELY free. Zazzle can take some time to set up but it can be very lucrative. I think Zazzle is awesome because you can move your products from one category to the next easily. Moving products from category to category will change their Link. This means that anywhere you have advertised that particular product the link will appear broken and default to zazzle’s page (NOT your product, but similar items from the marketplace.) So, I suggest setting up categories before sharing items or updates with social sites.



Start by registering for a free account.Make sure to fill out your profile, add a picture, and link as many social accounts as you have (facebook, twitter, pintrest, etc…)

Create Account Step 1: Click "Sign in” at the top of Zazzle’s Home Page


Create Account Step 2: Register for Free account
Fill out form and follow instructions for account activation.




2.Create a Store
  Log into your account and you will be taken to you “My Account” page. From this page you can edit and manage your stores.  

1: Click “Manage My Store”


Create Store Step2: Click "Open new store"


Create Store Step 3: Enter Store Name and Security Phrase
You will be redirected to your store’s “Manage” page. From here we can start uploading images.
In this step we will upload an image to our Media basket. This will allow me to add my description to my image.This description will then automatically transfer into the description of the products it is associated with (but only if the description is added to the image before making the products).

Upload Image Step 1: Starting from "My Account Screen" Click "Images"


Upload Image Step 2: click "Upload New Images" button


Upload Image Step 3: Click "Select Image to Upload"
and select File from your computer (Hold Ctrl to Select Multiple Photos)


Upload Image Step 4: Click "OK" and Wait for Screen to Disappear
(Don't double click "OK" it will cancel your download!)


Upload Image Step 5: You will be returned to you Image Basket
(Refresh your page for your new images to appear)


Upload Image Step 6: Click the Image you want to edit
(Add title and description then click “Done”)
Editing you images this way helps search engines rank and display you images to potential buyers Try to make your titles key word rich and your descriptions should be complete sentences.



In this step we will apply the design to merchandise. There are two ways to create products.Since this blog is focused on businesses I will show you how to make multiple products at a time 
Create Product Step 1: Starting from "My Account Screen" Click "Products”


Create Product Step 2: Click “Quick create”


Create Product Step 3: Select a Product Set from Drop Box


Create Product Step 4: Click “Change” to Select Image


Create Product Step 5: Select Desired Image and Click “OK”
(or upload image from computer)


Create Product Step 6: Click “Done”
(“Choose Fit/Fill option” does not seem to work at this time)


Create Product Step 7: Select and Delete Unwanted Items
(Listing one type of item will make all types available)
(I.e. choose one t-shirt design and all other shirts will show on Zazzle’s Page)


Create Product Step 8: Click Customize to Re-size Design on Specific Products
(Must be done for each product before moving to next screen!!)
(it is almost impossible to change the image after this step)


Create Product Step 9: Re-size Image to Fit Properly on Product
(You can add more than one image to products.Great for making black pins and stickers!) 


Create Product Step 10: Customize ALL Products Then Click “Next”


Create Product Step 11: Add Title and Description


Create Product Step 12: Select Public and Store Category
(you may also add events, recipients, or suggest a new category)

Create Product Step 13: Enter Keywords, Select Audience, and Royalty Amount


Create Product Step 14: Agreement Box, Type Catch Phrase, and Click “Post it!”
(Make sure to follow all copyright rules when posting items for sale!)


Create Product Step 15: DONE!
(Click “Do It Again” to repeat) 
Congratulations! You have just listed multiple items in your store (these products automatically upload to the marketplace, so there is not further work to be done with that particular image.However, can add different backgrounds to your main designs (if it is possible) and list variations to original pieces. (I.e. black, red, patterns, etc…)
