Excellent!

Great stuff!

Nature Girl, I am going to check your list, but I hope you have a lens on how to do this!

Thanks

Margo,
Bonnie has a great how-to lens it's:  How to Create a Beautiful Squidoo Lens for your Zazzle Gallery .  It shows you how to feature Zazzle products using the text module and you can also add some Zazzle modules for the newer products.

I just made a $9.30 referral!

let me clarify...

I have no zazzle gallery. I don't have the artistic ability to create a zazzle gallery. I WOULD like to promote zazzle products through the zazzle module and earn referral fees for doing it.

How? who pays the referral fees? what name do i put in the 'gallery name' box? anyone?

I'm with loyalis. I don't have a gallery but there are some items I would like to feature on one of my lenses. The module won't find any items by keyword, although I know they are there. And I'm not sure how to determine the "gallery name' either.

Thanks

I'm having trouble narrowing down my items by keyword as well. All searches come empty, even for "kiwi."

I've earned referral cash from Zazzle before, but I used a text/write module and my own referral link to get the referral. In other words, I used Zazzle's affiliate code to get money. I'm curious on how the Squidoo Zazzle module works -- I'd like to start promoting other people's stuff as well.

I would also love to hear the answer to Loyalis' question.  It's always nice to have additional sources of revenues on your lenses!

My referral money was from Zazzle.  It probably came from the text module links that I set up, but there is no way to tell.  I tried to go look at click outs, but I have about 50 lenses with Zazzle products on them.  Guys, you don't have to have a lot of talent to have a Zazzle Gallery.  You can make T-shirts with funny sayings and things like that by using Powerpoint and saving it as a jpg.  Just a few T-shirts posted on your Zazzle Gallery and then you sign up as an associate and ANY referrals from Squidoo will get you 15% of the purchase price.  You don't ever have to sell any of your own stuff and it doesn't matter if it's bad or good.  Just set up a gallery and sign up as an associate.  Then it won't matter how the new zazzle module works.

some things i've learned in the last few hours:

1) to find items you HAVE to put the name of the gallery you want into the username box. I can't get any results to come up otherwise.

2) No-one who's checked their email today knows if you sell other peoples stuff in your modules then an associate fee will display in your dashboard (i.e. amazon or ebay).

3) this question is confusing by nature because people assume I mean the commission i get for designing products and selling them on Zazzle (which i'm not) or the zazzle affiliate program using 3rd party links (which is incredibly hard to use by the way). I'm referring to earning affiliate money that is split with squidoo by using zazzle modules to promote other peoples art.

Any answers?

1) I have been able to get results without putting a gallery name into the username box, but you must be very specific or put really broad terms like, animals, potter (not Harry Potter) or tiger and leave the product type set on all.  Actually I kept a zazzle tab open and the lens workshop & go back and forth.  The searches are better on zazzle & you can find better search terms that way, but it is hard to get exactly what you want with the new module.  It seems to pull up the most recently published items.  That's why I'll probably continue using the text module with the zazzle link to this code.   

2) I'm assuming that it will work like CafePress and Amazon, but I'm wondering if Zazzle associates will get the Zazzle referral on Zazzle.

3) I get that, and no one from upstairs has said exactly how the money from the Zazzle module will be distributed.
To use the Zazzle affiliate links I just copy the code for the products I want to use in a lens into word pad, then strip off the extra div stuff on the front and back of the code and copy and paste it into a text module with no returns or breaks between them and use <p align="center">

I have made several lenses using the new Zazzle module. I even went back and added Zazzle modules to several older lenses.
I have some that feature my gallery and some that feature others galleries.
I have even made some where I have left the gallery name blank and just put in the product and a keyword.
It worked fine. I also have done some that feature particular artists who have work that  I like.

If you want to see one featuring several artists look at  http://www.squidoo.com/FractalsAtZazzle
I just went to their gallery to get the link out of their address.
