What is the most important thing you have learned since starting on zazzle? *	I'm actually quite new so there's not much to say. I've realized how much my anti-social nature is going to bite as far as promoting traffic goes and also just how my art pieces as a whole may stand out as far as quality
Do you consider yourself an Artist selling art, or a Business person selling products which happen to be art? *	Artist - every product is a perfect piece of art i have carefully selected and set to match how I feel they should be displayed
What do you enjoy most about zazzle? *	It's simple and I don't have to pack and ship my artwork to sell it. I'm about to go to college so selling originals and sculptures is complicated, but zazzle serves as a way to sell my images without worrying about shipping.
When working on zazzle you... *	enjoy listening to music
What is your favorite thing to do when not Zazzling? *	It depends on whether I'm in a creative spurt or not. If so, I'm probably drawing or on Photoshop. If not, I'm watching something on Netflix

What advice would you share with a friend or family member if they wanted to join zazzle? *
STOP. THINK AHEAD.... your shopid will be your url can you read it out loud and people know exactly how it will be spelled? is it easy to spell or write? does it sound like it looks? while "Teez4U" may look and sound like a fun play on words when you say it out loud to a friend or stranger they may hear "Teas for You" and think you sell tea....or "Tees for you" a golfer paradise with billions of golf tees...or even worse "Tease for you" a new naughty nudie site... So once you have thought about it and picked an appropriate shopid....it is time to add product STOP. THINK AHEAD... read everything and anything you can about copyright, trademark, and intellectual property laws...breaking these could mean not only time lost when products are removed but big law suits Decide how to organize your shop....having to move everything around later is a huge undertaking. listen to advice given by other shopkeepers and read WHY they choose to organize one way over the other, yes some of it will be complete opposite of each other, but you need to hear both sides of the issue then decide which is better for you based on why those people do things the way they do them. decide - do you want to be an artist and stick to your artistic integrity even if it means less sale, or do you want to be a business person and know your art may not sell in the ideal format as you want it but you will be drawing a paycheck....this will help you choose if you are going to offer just a small selection or a large one... Read about SEO and make sure you follow the advice from the beginning as you write descriptions tags and titles....my best advice in this is that search engines cannot see pictures you have to tell them about the picture...using as many words as you can now you have your store and you are adding products so it is time to start getting sales... STOP. THINK AHEAD... read everything you can about self promotion... there are a lot of ways to get promotion free...some are beneficial some can actually hurt you...learn everything you can before you start for more information & how to zazzle tutorials check out my website http://www.shopaholicchick.com/zazzletutor/index.html

What do you do when you are not zazzling? *	I love to travel and take photographs, but then that all leads back to zazzle since i sell those photographs on my store!!
How many stores do you have on zazzle? *	25 or more
Which do you prefer and why? 1 Mega Store or Several Niche Stores *
I have both, 1 mega store for my original designs that do not have anywhere better to go....and then i have niche stores for different themes. some of the themes are separated because they could be offensive to a selection of shoppers so i keep them separate. some are separate for SEO reasons...a shop with just 100 designs with a very closely tied set of keywords will appear to search engines to be an authority in that field and will therefore rank higher in a search engine on that topic then another store that also has 100 designs in that field but also has 10,000 designs in other niches so the keywords are more diluted.

What is the most important thing you have learned since starting on zazzle? *
Hmmm, so many! I think the most important thing was when creating products to remember to make them templates! I made so many things in the beginning...for quite a long time...before I finally clued in to what a "template" actually was, and how if I didn't do it that way, the customer couldn't customize the design (unless they had some inside knowledge)...even though I was telling them in the description that they could! Aaargh! I had to re-make a lot of those items, don't waste your time...make them a template! Also if there are parts, like your copyright name that you don't want removed, then you must "lock" that field...very important!
Do you consider yourself an Artist selling art, or a Business person selling products which happen to be art? *	Artist - every product is a perfect piece of art i have carefully selected and set to match how I feel they should be displayed

What is your favorite thing to do when not Zazzling? *	I like to be out in nature, taking photographs while I walk. Watch t.v. (addicted to Coronation St. since the mid-60s when it started!) I also like spending time with my loved ones, and having a good laugh!

What is the most important thing you have learned since starting on zazzle? *	Create templates that work with the types of images used, and when appropriate, include customizeable text areas so customers can personalize the item.
Do you consider yourself an Artist selling art, or a Business person selling products which happen to be art? *	Both - every product contains art, even if it is not in my taste I will offer it for sale, since that is what the customers want

Susan's Zoo Crew

Store Name *	Susan's Zoo Crew
How has zazzle changed your life? *	Zazzle has given me a place to showcase my art and photography on great products! Before the files were just languishing in my sketchbooks, hard drives, and on bookshelves. Now my pictures of all types (animals, music, floral, sunsets, beaches, etc!), my pencil drawings, my acrylic paintings, and my other flat craft items are displayed in one place for the whole world to see! I have a reason to take more pictures, paint more scenes, come up with new designs and art forms just so I can put them up on zazzle!
Zazzle is a... *	Hobby Addiction
What advice would you share with a friend or family member if they wanted to join zazzle? *	Learn the ropes first. Decide how you want to organize your shop and start from the beginning with a system that makes sense from a shoppers point of view. Wasting your time moving products around means you aren't making any new designs! Decide on your categories and subcategories, make great folder images for them, and upload straight into them. It will make your life much easier!
What other PODs do you use? *	Zazzle
What do you do when you are not zazzling? *
I have a myriad of interests (most of which are featured on my main zazzle store). At any point in time, you may find me: 1. Practicing bass and/or guitar 2. Trimming/caring for my bonsai 3. Caring for/playing with my animals (I'm not Susan's Zoo Crew for nothing!) 4. Taking pictures for my photography portfolio 5. Writing something.......music lyrics, poems, stories..... 6. Reading a book (I have all of Stephen King's books except one!). 7. Watching a CSI episode (all 3 versions) or a fun movie 8. Painting (all mediums but oil), collages, sketching, smashing flowers, making homemade paper, making necklaces..... 9. Tending my hydroponic system (a work in progress, currently growing one tomatoe and 5 hot pepper plants). 10. Sleep. Ok, this happens once in a while :)
How many stores do you have on zazzle? *	5-10
Which do you prefer and why? 1 Mega Store or Several Niche Stores *	I have both a big mega store (the Susan's Zoo Crew) and several small specialty stores. The specialty stores are great for when I feel an idea is being buried in the big store. For instance, I had so many great hot pepper design ideas that I opened Pepper Paradise and am filling it up now. I also wanted to promote hydroponics so I gave that it's own store. I realized my music selection was outgrowing my main store so I opened Musician Events. I'm for doing it both ways :).

How has zazzle changed your life? *	Zazzle has given me a consistent creative outlet in my life, sometimes when it was desperately needed. As an actor, I don't always have that to fall back on to get the muses out of my head, but Zazzle is always there, 24/7. Plus the fact that Zazzle sometimes pays more than an acting gig doesn't hurt at all :D

What advice would you share with a friend or family member if they wanted to join zazzle? *
Several things: 1) JUST DO IT! 2) Don't expect to make anything more than what you put into it. I do okay with what limited promotion I do, and I know I could do better, but I'm comfortable with my level of income compared to my efforts. 3) Pay attention to what you design, HOW you design and how it fits on a product. It hurts all Zazzlers when customers come into the website and find pages and pages of unadulterated crap put out there by folks who have zero business being in the business. 4) Be ready to tag, tag, tag and describe, describe, describe! 5) One final word: FORUM The Zazzle forum is your first, best resource for information. Read it. A lot. Search for answers there before you start posting. They're all there. Seriously. Everything you need to know, written down for the masses by all of us who have been there, done that and designed the t-shirt. And lastly, mark up your products around the 30% range, minimum. Seriosuly.

What do you do when you are not zazzling? *	Like I mentioned, I'm a professional actor and sometimes stage manager and assistant director. I love to read, and I'm spending the summer of 2011 discovering the American classics I've never read before, like Gone With the Wind and To Kill A Mockingbird. My literary junk food, though, are the Star Wars extended universe novels. Love them! Huge fan of Gregory Maguire (Wicked, et al), too! I'm also a Netfix junkie on top of the several regular broadcast television shows I keep up with. And yes, my name is Mike and I'm addicted to Facebook.
How many stores do you have on zazzle? *	2-4
Which do you prefer and why? 1 Mega Store or Several Niche Stores *
I have one mega store and a couple of niche stores and here's why: The Bluebonnet Shop came about because I wanted to give mom a way to promote those specific designs without have to worry about her referrals being turned off or embarrassed by some of the content in my main shop. LMH Shoes came about when the Keds were first introduced and I had ideas for designs that would be good on shoes, but not anything else (in my opinion). But the way my main shop is organized, it just didn't make sense to have a "shoes" category so bam! A new shop was born. And ignored. And I intend on rectifying that soon. In the end, I can say I'm a fan of both megashops and niche shops. I get a lot of feedback from shoppers and other Zazzlers who love my main shop and the huge variety it offers. But I totally see the need and desire of others who like to have the niche shops. I'm currently contemplating spinning off some of my merchandise that have very specific target markets, like my LMH BearWear line for that segment of the gay population, or my Leather Pride line.

How has zazzle changed your life? *	Being officially un-employed for nearly 2 years now, Zazzle has kept me sane. It gives me something to structure my day around (that and gardening). Hopefully the income will increase so that a "real job" won't be that necessary. I have also taken time to improve my photography. Images that I thought were so good do not work, so I have to take new photographs. My artistic "eye" is getting better trained.

What advice would you share with a friend or family member if they wanted to join zazzle? *	When I suggested that my brother look in to Zazzle, he joined, but only put up two items. When he visited over the holidays, we reviewed his site and I told him about tags and how they should describe the image. He is an artist in nearly all forms of art (painting, sculpting, etc.). I suggested that he could use any of his art at Zazzle by taking a good digital photograph. We went out and bought him the same model of camera that I use.
What other PODs do you use? *	Zazzle Fine Art America
What do you do when you are not zazzling? *	I frequently take long drives with my camera. One never knows what one will see that will make a good "mug" shot. I read at least a half hour every day. It is amazing what will trigger a Zazzle "aha" moment. I might be reading an historical novel and some phrase or character insight will trigger an idea that I should go out to photograph.
How many stores do you have on zazzle? *	2-4
Which do you prefer and why? 1 Mega Store or Several Niche Stores *	My niche store is made for easier promotion. I prefer the "mega store" as any idea will find a home in my categories. The niche store has to be thought about much more carefully.

How has zazzle changed your life? *	Zazzle has changed my life very positively. It has provided me with a very special creative outlet and vehicle for sharing my art with others.

It's like being able to create your own little mall within Zazzle for people to window shop through without having to leave their homes.

How has zazzle changed your life? *
I have created digital art for years and loved it. Before zazzle, I always had to create a product to put my graphics on. In a typical day, I would spend the majority of my time creating or finding products, finding reliable suppliers, and packing. Design time was squished into spare time. This was fine for a while, but it became clear that I spent a lot more time managing the products than I did creating the pictures. I began looking for an alternative. That’s when I found zazzle. It allows me to do what I love without having to worry about supplies, orders, quality. Zazzle takes care of all of that! It allows me to do more of my passion and less of the cumbersome tasks of running a business. Zazzle has changed something else in my life too. I have never been able to settle down to one style. With most artists, they develop a style that people identify with them. After a while, you see an image and you recognize the artist without even looking at the name. I was never able to do that. I am all over the board with designs, colors, and subjects. But with zazzle, it works out fine; for different artwork – I set up a new store!

What advice would you share with a friend or family member if they wanted to join zazzle? *
For those who are just starting out, I suggest downloading the zazzle templates and doing some research on graphic size, resolution, type. There is nothing worse than finishing a picture and then discovering it is too small for the product. I think it also helps to focus on a set of products to begin with and then experiment with additional ones as you go along. I started out doing cards and mouse pads. Now, about the only thing I don’t do is skateboards and shoes. Tool wise I invested in Photoshop. But Corel’s Paint Shop Pro is good also. Then there is Gimp which is free. If you are into abstracts almost any paint program will suffice, although it might limit your designs somewhat due to lack of bells and whistles. The best advice I can give for someone starting out is to plunge in and get some experience. If you are interested in creating graphics, developing clever witticisms, or just creating personalized gifts for the family, get started. It’s great. You’ll love it.
What other PODs do you use? *	Zazzle
What do you do when you are not zazzling? *	When I am not zazzling, I am kind of boring. I have several cats and a dog. They seem to monopolize my time going out, coming in, it is snack time, I want to be held…. well, you get the picture. I also like to landscape. Some people garden, I landscape. The landscaping supply companies around here must gasp each time I place an order, “She is doing what with 4 tons of river rock and she wants it when?” Throw in a terrific best friend, a wonderful sister, and brother-in-law, and you have my day to day life.
How many stores do you have on zazzle? *	2-4
Which do you prefer and why? 1 Mega Store or Several Niche Stores *	I have a mega store and a niche store. This set-up is mostly because of the way I started. I had been on zazzle for quite some time before I realized you could have additional stores! It works well this way, though. I might start up a few other niche stores as I go along. But I think it is important not to spread yourself too thin.

Don't list how many products you currently offer on the Zazzle forums or be proud of it in any way because people there love to pick fights about it for some reason... This ain't no get rich quick scheme. Learn what colors work well together when choosing them for your page, I'm tired of going blind trying to read what you say. Don't put your whole life story or everything you've ever linked to your page or every top100 club and forum ad pic you belong to in your description because nobody likes reading that. Keep it short and simple and let them get to your products asap (I have trouble with this myself.) Learn what Squidoo is and what it's good for, and get on every other social networking site you can and link back.... Have a sense of humor and get used to the bitter taste of defeat.

Store Name *	DigiCaptures
How do you create/edit the designs you place for sale on zazzle? *	Digital Camera Inkscape Gimp
What is the most important thing you have learned since starting on zazzle? *	Design and marketing play an important part in selling photography-based merchandise. Pretty pictures are nice to look at, but customers are more prone to buy images if they're part of an attractive design. Even the best images in the most attractive designs won't sell if no one sees them. Customers need to be found and persuaded to purchase products. That old saying about, "If you build it, they will come," just doesn't work on the Internet.
Do you consider yourself an Artist selling art, or a Business person selling products which happen to be art? *	Both - every product contains art, even if it is not in my taste I will offer it for sale, since that is what the customers want
What do you enjoy most about zazzle? *	Its helped me evolve as an artist and as a merchant. I've developed a better appreciation for what makes an image interesting to someone beside myself. Art in of itself may be a wonderful thing, but it's better appreciated when purchased, and to do that one needs to acquire some business sense.
When working on zazzle you... *	need complete silence to concentrate
What is your favorite thing to do when not Zazzling? *	I like to go outdoors and walk. It can be a walk with the dog, a hike in the mountains, or a stroll out in the desert, perhaps along the banks of our local river. Nature grounds me, which is probably why I love to photograph it.
