How to Make Money on Zazzle With NO Design Skills Whatsoever! Public Domain Masterpieces FREE COURSE

Hey there, Zazzlepreneurs!



Welcome back to another exciting blog post where we explore innovative ways to turn your creative passion into a lucrative business.


Today, we're diving into the world of EASY print-on-demand. Why is it easy? Because you don't need any design skills whatsoever!

When I first embarked on my Zazzle journey, one of my stores featured vintage art. It had a massive collection of FREE public domain masterpieces and back in the day, it did rather well. This was in the day of Quick Create when I went a little bonkers (as many of us did back then) adding the artwork to everything and anything until I had a store heaving with thousands of products. Dial forward a couple of years and Zazzle introduced the 100,000 product cap. This vintage art store was one of a few I had to annihilate to get my figures under the 100,000! And since then I lost interest, developed some design skills and went in another direction. That said, the few vintage art items I have still sell, despite their overwhelming lack of attention. I particularly enjoy Maps, it doesn't have to be masterpiece art, it can be anything old, rustic, vintage that might capture the interest of customers and fit with current design and decorative trends.


I am still a lover of all things vintage and hence I am sharing this strategy for beginner Zazzler's who may not yet have the design skills to create their own artworks or the funds to license designs.
