For Writers and Novelists: How to use Zazzle Promote your Writing, zazzlers can post links

For Writers and Novelists: How to use Zazzle Promote your Writing

If you self publish you can put your book covers on products as well. You can direct fans of your books where they can buy these items.

Smaller low cost items such postcards, photo cards can go into media kits.

Mugs, and bags, and cell phone covers can be door prizes for events.

Some Zazzle artists are willing to do custom jobs as well. They will still own rights to their art but can create products that only you can buy to promote your items.

Samples of my products for writers

Zazzlers who want to be promoted

Zazzle adds easy art to your blog that can complement your writing. If you're a fantasy writer, you can add some lovely products of amazing fantasy artists giving a distinct look to your blog. Now, if you write literature, there are many products from photographers and fine artists. If you write non-fiction articles on eco-friendly products, you can use the referral plans to highlight eco-friendly products. This will save time. You won't have to hunt pictures down on the web and asking permission for each item. It will help you promote your writing while at the same time save you time so you can devote your time to writing.

I will not know who refers your stores if any. Make sure your shop looks your best

Toot Your Horn Art For Your Office or Business

Toot your Horn

in the comment section share some good news.

Art For Your Office

Do you have an office? Do you have a waiting room? Do you have a dance studio, or other studio that can use art?

Do you have a home office, that needs a little art just for you? My home office is a nook in the living room aria. Its not in its own room so I can be around my family.

Are you sick of people looking at blank walls. Do your walls need eye candy?

Do you need art but don't have tons of time to find the right piece for you?

Do you need large wrapped canvas prints?

What styles and kind of Art

Art is always needed in offices. One thing as business owner small or big to think about is wall art. If you own a small waiting room art clients and customers at ease. Your office might only be for your employees but you want them to feel comfortable. Nothing feels more uninviting as blank and boring walls.

Avoid using anything too controversial unless your business thrives on controversy and even then tread lightly. You'll want to avoid anything dealing with body fluids. Artwork made with any sort of body fluid might get a visit from the board of health.

Abstracts Aka modern play with shapes and colors and people see what they want to see. The saying about abstract art goes abstract art is the art that everybody says they can do but just don't. Abstracts can be imaginative, hip and creative. With the right abstract you can make a office look trendy, or classic. They can work for hotels, as well as department stores.

Painted Landscapes as well as landscape photos can bring warmth into a room. They need not be try and boring.

Photography of flowers and gardens can be enchanting.

Still life's, such as paintings of fruit, and food can work well in a small café.

Cute whimsical art like Kawaii (Japanese for cute) might work for a children's dental office, or a children's bookstore.

If you own a bakery, photos of your baked goods might work well with cute cartoon art. Yes even bakeries have offices to take phone calls.

Abstract Wall art

When choosing abstract wall art. You want art that is eye catching but you also want to stay away from designs that clash with your furniture Art Celebration 44.55 Canvas Print
