That's what happened to our wonderful student Wendy, but she didn't let it get the best of her—even though she wasn't sure what came next, she went out and looked for it, anyway.

That's where she found Zazzle—and our Profit by Design Academy®!

In this episode, Wendy will be sharing...

• What happened when she lost her job of 20 years
• How she discovered Zazzle

We're here to help you get started on the right foot in your Zazzle business by sharing our top five tips for beginner Zazzle sellers.

In today's episode, we'll be talking about...

• What Zazzle is and how you make money on it

Episode 107 - Last time, we talked about achieving a seemingly impossible dream...traveling the world while running your online business, and how Jen accomplished this through Zazzle.

• The slow build of her Zazzle business profits
• How she was able to utilize that income to leverage herself out of debt
• How to begin building wealth once you're out of debt

Episode 105 - If you think you need to sell a certain product to be successful in your Zazzle business or that you have to aim for a broad audience in order to sell, think again! We're here today to challenge any assumptions you may have about selling on Zazzle.

In the episode, we're going to go over:

• The most popular products on Zazzle
• The more unusual products you can sell if you don't care for the common ones
• How narrowing down your customer pool will actually help you sell more in the long run

Does that sound strange? How can designing your products for a smaller audience result in bigger sales? The concept is called niching down, and we're going to explain exactly how it helps you sell more by designing your products to appeal to a smaller group of buyers.
