    Here at Zazzle: 68% Higher Cost-per-Clicks

    At Zazzle, we’re not immune. As an example, our own average Cost-per-Click has jumped an astounding 68% in the past five years due to intense competition and rising price increases.

    We’d Rather Pay You

    Zazzle spends millions to market products. But let’s be clear—we’d much rather pay that marketing money to YOU, our Creators and Ambassadors, instead of the other guys.

  • The "Hustler" (Self-Promotion)

    

    🚀 The "Hustler" (Self-Promotion)

    Who's hustling? (It's all you, Marketing Rockstar.)

    • Your Earnings: 35-50% of Net Referral Sales (includes your Royalty + Referral Commission)
    • Marketing Royalty Fee: Technically applied, but the Referral Commission is calculated so that it makes up the difference and your Earnings will total the promised 35-50%.
    • Excess Royalty Fee: This fee (5% of your royalty) only kicks in when Your Royalty Rate is above 10%
    • Best For: Creators who are up for the hustle
  • The "Good Neighbor" (Cross-Promotion)

    

    🤝 The "Good Neighbor" (Cross-Promotion)

    Whose Product is it? Another Creator’s amazing Content.

    • Your Referral Commission: 15% flat of Net Sales
    • Creator's Marketing Royalty Fee: This is deducted from the Creator's royalty, not from your Referral Commission
    • Excess Royalty Fee: This does not apply to you, only to the Creator's royalty
    • Best For: Creators, Customers, Anyone
  • The "Hands-Off" (Zazzle Marketing)

    

    ☕ The "Hands-Off" (Zazzle Marketing)

    Who did the heavy lifting? Zazzle’s marketing machine.

    • Your Earnings: Your royalty minus the Marketing Royalty Fee
    • Excess Royalty Fee: Only applies if Your Royalty Rate is above 10%
    • Best For: Creators who want to sit back and let Zazzle do the work
  • The "Set It & We All Forget It" (Nobody Promotes)

    

    🤷‍♂️ The "Set It & We All Forget It" (Nobody Promotes)

    Who’s Marketing? Nobody. Your Product waits quietly.

    • Your Earnings: Your set royalty (No extra fees unless your royalty triggers the Excess Royalty Fee above 10%).

🚨 An Earnings Example

Congrats! A Product just sold for $100! For simplicity, we’ll assume we sell Wedding Invitations in these examples. Ready? Here we go!

(These figures are illustrative examples only. Your actual earnings may differ due to a range of factors.)
Earnings if Product Royalty Rate is:   10% 15%
🚀 The "Hustler" (Self Promotion Link) $50.00 $49.25 (75¢ Excess Royalty Fee)
🤝 You're a "Good Neighbor" (Cross-Promotion Link) $15.00 $15.00
🤝 They're a "Good Neighbor" (Cross-Promotion Link) $5.00 ($5 Marketing Royalty Fee) $6.75 ($7.50 Marketing Royalty Fee +
75¢ Excess Royalty Fee)
The "Hands-Off" (Zazzle's Marketing Link) $5.00 ($5 Marketing Royalty Fee) $6.75 ($7.50 Marketing Royalty Fee +
75¢ Excess Royalty Fee)

Nobody Promotes: Why no calculations here? Well, if nobody promotes, it's harder to predict sales!

💰 Bottom Line

Self-Promotion is the clear winner at 10× higher Earnings than letting Zazzle or other Ambassadors handle the marketing! Whether you market yourself or let others do it, you'll still see Earnings—just keep an eye on the above 10% Royalty rate threshold to maximize profits. Choose your hustle wisely!
