No Reason Cards and Gifts

Your name or Shopid *	No Reason Cards and Gifts
How long did it take you to become a proseller? *	3-6 months
What advice can you give to someone who wants to become a proseller? *	If you are serious about becoming a pro-seller you will need to do some off site promotion of your own and other people's products. Referrals will definitely help you to reach pro-seller status quicker. I find that I usually earn more in referrals than I do selling my own products.
How many stores do you have? *	2-5
What benefits do you see for choosing this number of stores? and what do you recommend for others who are just starting out on whether to choose 1 store or multiple stores? *	I am the group leader of the Cupcake Club on Squidoo so my second Zazzle store was opened because I wanted a cupcake specific shop. If you are just starting out I'd go with one store until you find your niche. After you've been creating products for a while you'll find that you prefer making certain things more than others. That would probably be a good time to open a second store for your particular niche.
What types of advertising do you do? *	Off-Zazzle websites Blogs (blogspot, wordpress, etc.)
What types of advertising do you recommend for someone just starting out and why? *	I suggest Squidoo.com. You can easily make pages about your products and refer other peoples products without any additional cost to you. I also recommend starting a niche blog.
Not talking dollar wise, just volume & frequency of sales do you... (select all that apply, some answer may be contradictory based on seasonal sales) *	sell at least 1 product per day very day all year sell under 5 products per day on most days sell a lot of mid priced items like tshirt and necklaces do well April-June do well October-December
