Another way to earn money online is by either creating a Zazzle gallery or by becoming a Zazzle affiliate and promoting other people's galleries. Zazzle fits well with Squidoo, and the two sites can be synergistic.

Zazzle allows you to set up a gallery for free to sell your own designs which they print on several types of products including t-shirts, cards, and photo sculptures as well as many other products. It is an easy site to navigate and build. You can also sign up as an affiliate through Zazzle to sell other people's designs which earns you 15% of whatever sells from your links.

So how do you promote sales on the Zazzle site?

Just like anything else online, Zazzle is not an immediate windfall, however if you build traffic, you will also build sales. Building traffic works just like sending traffic to lenses, hubs, or any other webpage you have online.

Here are some ideas of how to send traffic to your Zazzle gallery.

1. Make your Zazzle gallery a niche gallery.  Tightly focus the type of products sold.
2. Bookmark the gallery and individual items in the gallery on social bookmarking sites.
3. Create a blog to talk about your designs and Zazzle items.
4. Make an RSS feed to feed to Twitter and other places of your new products.
5. Make flyers and business cards to hand out to people about your Zazzle business.
6. Link to your Zazzle business from other online ventures.
7. Make a Squidoo lens about your Zazzle gallery, designs or products or topics related to them.
8. Write an article online that talks about your Zazzle gallery and put your link in the signature.
9. Research keywords on your topics and use them for the titles and descriptions of your products.
   

This is a great start to how to promote your gallery.  I am sure that you can think of more ideas.  You can also choose other galleries to promote in the same ways, and earn money from their sales.
