Tools and Tips for PODs

I’ve just learned of a Squidoo lens (Zazzle 101) that has a series of tips on how to have a profitable Zazzle gallery.  The tips cover setting up your account, choosing products, adding your designs, and much more.  It’s a good read for anyone getting going with Zazzle.

SagArt was kind enough to allow me to share one of her famous ‘Purple Crayon’ posts, that she wrote in response to a question on adding categories to your Zazzle site.

Here it is: 

Okay sweetie, to put your products into categories this is what you
do. I only give instructions in the purple crayon version, so they
should be easy to understand.

Look at the sidebar and find Add Product Lines. Off to the side there
is (Add New). Click on it and a small window opens where you can
assign a title to group of products. Key in a title that fits a group
of products you have added then save it. It will now appear in your
sidebar. Now don’t stop there.

Click on that sidebar title and another small window opens where you
can put a description for that section of products. When doing so
remember to SEO it to the max for the search engines. Once finished,
save it.

Now to assign products to that group. The products you have already
added can easily be assign to that title group by clicking on the EDIT
button. An EDIT IT window appears and you look for Contributor Gallery
Category (change) – then find the group title and click. They will now
appear under that Category in your shop.

For new products you are adding – simply select the Contributor
Gallery Category and assign them to a group in your sidebar as they
are added.
