Interview with Elke Clarke, weightlifting Challenge, zazzle artists





Interview with Elke Clarke, weightlifting Challenge, zazzle artists


Interview with Elle Clarke By Askazombiehousewife Elke Clarke is one of the most successful Zazzle artist designers of all time, reaching Diamond ProdDesigner status.
She was once working in the pharmaceutical industry, but wanted to find a way to make money online being creative.
Zazzle was a perfect fit for her to be able to quit her 9 to 5 job and earn substantial passive income from heart, photos and graphic design.

Askazombiehousewife: What is one tip you would give to new artists?

Make sure you name your Zazzle store with a proper business name, not just something like “Sarah357”. Instead pick a name like “Sarah Jacob Designs”. Your Zazzle store name will help your Zazzle business be branded more easily and then you can use the same store or business name on all your social media accounts. If you don’t want to use your name come up with something generic like “Blue Sky Designs”. Always check to make sure your name you choose is not copyright protected or used by someone else. I quick Google search will tell you if your name brings up any other businesses or famous people’s names. You can also do a trademark search. If you are going put a great number of hours into making virtual products to add to your Zazzle store, you should make sure it has a professional business name and is not infringing on copyright.
I personally made this mistake when I started on Zazzle. My first store I started is named “epclarke”. So www.zazzle.com/epclarke is not nearly as easy to promote compared to maybe www.zazzle.com/ElkeClarkeDesigns. Now that I have had this store for so long, I don’t want to start a new one just to fix the name. But I always have trouble getting people to easily remember my Zazzle store name.

It seems so simple but your choice for your Zazzle store name makes such a difference in how your store and brand will be recognized by online shoppers. I wish I would have known that tip when I first started.

Askazombiehousewife: I have made that mistake myself. A proper store name is an amazing tool when creating a brand out of ones art.

Askazombiehousewife: Elke Clarke, please tell us about your new business venture teaching artists how to bring in more sales.

As you might have guessed, I have a passion for Zazzle because it has been this amazing business opportunity for me. I have been able to work from home, while doing what I love. I am so happy I found this opportunity, I want other artists, photographers, graphic designers and scrapbookers to know that they can make money online too.
For many years, I have helped coach and mentor people privately to set up successful Zazzle stores. My 27 year old daughter, Jennifer, is one of my success stories. She is now a Gold Level ProDesigner, living her dream life on the beautiful island of Mallorca in Spain, supporting herself solely with her Zazzle earnings.

One day I realized that I can help more people if I put all my steps to success in a course for beginners. That is why I created my Beginners Zazzle Course
https://clarkecoursesin.samcart.com/products/7-days-to-success-with-elke-clarke-2/
People loved my course. But most importantly, people were making sales in the first month after completing the course.

Zazzle is not a get rich quick scheme. Zazzle is a legitimate business platform you can use for free. You create the virtual products in your store and Zazzle takes care of the rest.
If you set things up properly and put in the effort like I did you can earn money on line while you are not working. I have made over $100,000 US every year for the past 5 years from my Zazzle earnings. I worked hard and made a lot of mistakes in the past 10 years on Zazzle, but now I just do upkeep on my stores and make a few new products.

For the past 2 years, I have only worked for about 1 hour a week on Zazzle and still make 6 figures a year.

So people asked if I could do a more Advanced Zazzle Course to teach people exactly what I did to set up my business and grow it to where it is today.

That is why I made the Advanced Zazzle Course VIP Masterclass. It is a combination of an online video course that you can do yourself in a month. But first you need to go through a month long VIP Masterclass so that you have access to me to ask questions and really get the right start. You can email me, post questions in the private Facebook group, there are weekly live Q & A sessions and 2 conference calls after the course is done, so you can still ask questions once more things are completed from the course. After the month VIP Masterclass you have life long access to all the videos and worksheets and tools and the Facebook Live Q&A sessions. I am here to help you be successful on Zazzle.

There is no use doing a lot of work if you do not get set up properly with the right tools and make the right choices. That is what the Advanced Zazzle Course is all about. It is not only a month long course, but it is a monthly planner with all the steps laid out with worksheets and checklists so you can follow my system and use the tools I use to be successful on Zazzle.

The Advanced Zazzle Course gives you 10 years of my knowledge about what works and does not work so that you don’t have to waste time learning from scratch. The July Masterclass is in progress. The members are loving the course and have had many AH HA moments which will help them tremendously with earning money on Zazzle. In fact 2 weeks into the course, people are already seeing more sales from things they used in the course.

There are 2 more VIP Masterclass Advanced Zazzle Course sessions in 2017, September and November. Enrollment for September 5, 2017 start date is now open. You can enroll through this link.

Askazombiehousewife: links to three products of yours that you loved creating.
1. This t-shirt is one of the first products I made. It has not sold too many times but I get a laugh out of it each time I see that it has been purchased. It meas someone else has my strange sense of humor about new husbands. Now the wife is the new management!

2. This baby birth announcement is so sweet. I have 3 kids, 1 girl and twin boys. They are grown adults now, but I would have definitely bought this baby announcement card back when my twins were born.

3. I love creating personalized pillows. This one is a favorite of mine because it is rustic but still modern and fits well in many people’s houses. I love that it can be a thoughtful gift someone could purchase for a friend at any time of the year.


Askazombiehousewife: Elke Clarke what is your favorite cake?
That is easy! My favorite cake is chocolate brownie. But I have recently gone on the Blood Type Diet and am not allowed any grains!! So not even gluten free. But I will treat myself with a great brownie. The Ghirardelli Triple Chocolate Brownie mix is THE BEST.

Askazombiehousewife: We love brownies as well. We mostly bake simple scratch Brownies in my house but anything with Ghirardelli is amazing.


Askazombiehousewife: Is there an artist whose work you love?
This is a harder question to answer because I love so many different styles of art and love collecting artworks. I also like to support local and Canadian Artists, so I have some Joe Average, Brian Atyeo and Zoltan Szabo originals. I also like Romero Britto and Roy Lichtenstein.

Askazombiehousewife: Do you go by a schedule or are you more a free spirt?
When I started on Zazzle, I was using a schedule to make sure I made the right number and type of products. Now I am more of a free spirit because I put all these things in place that are already working for me. So I can do things for pure enjoyment.

Askazombiehousewife: What is your favorite fruit and veggie? You can name more than one.
I love mangos and peaches. So I am glad those are on my Blood Type Diet list of things I can eat. My new favorite veggie is spinach. I would have never said that 2 years ago. But I have lost 25 pounds and feel great, so eating spinach and kale salads with chicken are now my favorite.
Askazombiehousewife: I Also highly recommend you pick up a free ebook entitled "10 insider Tips on How to Make Money on Zazzle" On the website www.elkeclarke.com you can also find her blog on the site with many free how to articles and posts.
I want to thank you, Askazombiehousewife, for interviewing me and having me on your fabulous blog. I really enjoy reading your posts and looking at the products you showcase.

I wish you continued success with Zazzle stores.
All the best
Elke Clarke

Valentine's Day Crafts, Valentine Artwork and Designs

It's time to get crafty folks as Valentine's Day is just under a month away. Read on to be inspired with some crafts that you can create for yourself or to help your kiddies make.

I love repurpusing items for special occasions and this idea is perfect for that. If you have some jars of various sizes, you can add some fabric scraps, burlap, ribbon, and vintage jewelry to whip up a romantic setting in no time.


I can see all kinds of romantic possibilities with this idea. Visit Crafts by Amanda to read more about how she suggests making these luminaries. 

Here is a cute idea from the Martha Stewart website.


It's a cute kid's craft idea and easier than you would think. Visit the Martha Stewart Site to see how they made these cute candy decorations. 

Here is another cute idea for you to make for your sweety or for the kids to help make for mom or dad. 


The instructions suggest using dowels but I'm thinking a straw or chop sticks would work just as well. See how to make this awesome Valentine's Day Pennant at the Say Yes to Hoboken blog.

Now for some Valentine's Day Art!

Creative Designs,Writing for Profit, Article Suggestions, Topic Ideas,

Hello Everyone!

I've recently discovered a site that is very fun to write for if you like getting paid for article writing. It is possible that I'm one of the last people to hear about this site but maybe not. Feel free to take a look at Bubblews.com and see what you think. If nothing else, you might find some interesting articles to read.

The site is different from most sites I've written for in the past in a few key ways. Mostly, it is about connecting and making friends on the site so that your articles get viewed by others. Bubblews pays you for views, comments, and likes or dislikes for each article that you submit. Their rules are pretty simple and straight forward. They have zero tolerance for plagiarism so no copying and pasting even of your own articles you may have written elsewhere.

You can feature one or more photos in each article that is either your own or is a creative commons photo. The fun part is that your articles only have to be at least 400 characters (not words!) long. I haven't been able to submit an article yet that is that short but many people do just to get their article count up. I prefer to invest in the future and offer something in each article that might be of value in the future and not just for those friends that might click on the article initially.

I thought it would be fun to open up the comments section to ideas for topics that I (or anyone!)can write articles about. If you have any suggestions, please list them in the comments section below as my goal is to list several posts a day and I need some inspiration big time.  If you do sign up on Bubblews, be sure and hop over to my Art Blog and let me know as I would love to Connect with you there.  :)

Halloween Kawaii Style or Kawaii Halloween Style

Halloween Kawaii Style or Kawaii Halloween Style

Kawaii is an art-form that stems from Japan. Kawaii means cute in Japan.

Kawaii is also mega popular in the US.

Hello Kitty, faces with food, drawings of strawberry shortcake would all be considered kawaii.

So if you want a cute but scary Halloween rather than a gory one. I have some Kawii Halloween ideas that are sure to but odd but cute style in your life.

Kawaii ideas

1. Dress stuffed animals in Halloween costumes

2. Use cookie cutters to make cute sandwiches instead of gory food

3. Watch cute but creepy Halloween movies like Nightmare before Christmas

Kids Games and Crafts for Fall and Winter, Autumn Artwork Features

It's almost the end of summer and that always turns my thoughts to making things for the fall and winter season. Today I thought I would share with you a few cute articles and tutorials that will inspire you to make some fun things with your little ones.

Here is a fun game that is geared for Halloween but could be modified for any theme. It encourages kids to fine tune their motor skills. I found it on No Time for Flashcards which is a site that is filled with inspirational games and crafts for kids of all ages.


Spider Web Walking Game

Here is another fun activity from this same site that will encourage your kids to go foraging outside as well as making a fun craft item for autumn. I'm thinking these could not only be used as place mats, but could also be hung as wonderful little works of art on the fridge.

Fun Fall Placemats

I also came across this link on Pinterest that takes you to a list of over 75 Kid Approved Fun Activities that can be done anytime of the year. Now that link alone should keep you busy for quite a while being inspired with all the fun activities you can do with your little ones.  

Now for some Autumn inspired artwork.
