Sold! Your Zazzle product(s) have been purchased


Sold! Your Zazzle product(s) have been purchased 
You recently sold 30 customized copies of your product, San Francisco Cable Car.

There aren't any words more powerful than these for a Zazzle store owner. It doesn't matter if you earned just an $0.08 royalty from a single postcard sold... All you really care about is that, somebody out there thought enough of your design to actually buy it... especially in this economy! It becomes even more exciting when you start asking, "how did he/she find my design? Where in the world-wide web did it show up?" Today, Kelly from San Francisco bought 30 of them.




Thank you, Kelly.

In a case like this, I begin to think, "I wonder what she'll use it for? Will she sell them again in a little souvenir shop in the Bay Area? Where will these postcards end up?" I've had people buy more than 100 copies of a postcard of mine at a time, so this isn't something new (not that I'm complaining though)... But every time I sell copies of this one, it takes on a special meaning somehow, as it was the first of my designs to actually sell. Five days after I opened my store, I was still unsure whether or not Zazzle was the real deal...until I got that first magical email. Sold! Your Zazzle product(s) have been purchased.

I must be doing something right... I've gotten more of these emails in the past month than I ever have! Makes me start to wonder though, will it ever be able to replace my day job...?
