After selling on Zazzle for 2 years I know quite a lot of their secrets. Let's start with favoritism.
Ever wonder why you've been selling on Zazzle since forever and your items are not on page 1 of search?
Favoritism.
If you go to Zazzle search and type "iPhone 4 cases" and hit enter, you will most likely find thousands of iPhone 4 cases. But who determines WHOSE iPhone 4 cases appear on page 1 of search?
Zazzle will tell you it's all about "algorithms". Lies.
It's about their favorite sellers.
I will tell you how I found this out in a later post.

How It All Started
A few years ago I was searching for business cards to buy and the dreaded Zazzle.com appeared on search.
I purchased some business cards from Zazzle, though they were very pricey. Every time you log into Zazzle you are urged to open your own store.
About 6 months later I did open my own store on Zazzle.com only as a means to market my Etsy business. I created a handful of items in the Zazzle shop and logged off without a second thought.
When it was time to order more business cards I went back to Zazzle and when I logged in I noticed I had a sale, one of the items in my Zazzle shop sold. I was pleasantly surprised and thought "Hey why not add a few more things?".
Although I didn't have that many items in my Zazzle store they were of high quality and on the cutting edge of trends...for that reason I had a lot of Zazzle affiliates referring my items.
By fall I had made Zazzle Proseller.
