Help Another Help Oneself

I guess the best way of explaining my Fantabulous Friday topic of the day is a wee explanation of my "abitosunshine" moniker. One word is broken into four - a bit o' sunshine - no letter "f in of" as I use the apostrophe in its place to speed up and smooth out the process.

The process of abitosunshine is quite simple. Every time I spread a bit o' sunshine into the life of another, its rays bounce back at me - tenfold! I've helped someone else and helped myself at the same time. FANTABULOUS!

Now, I have learned to apply this process in support of my friends who work to earn extra income online, just like I am trying to do. A perfect example of this is in the promotion of a friend's design work, in this particular case, her Zazzle store.

In December, Sylvestermouse shared her Flying Seagull Binder. Being a lover of seabirds I was instantly drawn to the beauty. But of course, when I see a good thing I share it! I did just that on my Facebook timeline status.

Now, I also have my own Zazzle store (abitosunshine, go figure!) Checking my earnings at one point I saw that I had earned referral earnings for Sylvestermouse's Seagull! FANTABULOUS!

 I was so excited. Seriously, I get so tickled when I promote something and it sells - that's sunshine, pure and sweet! The really cool thing is that both of us made money on that sale. In fact, each of us made $3 and change. FANTABULOUS! 

Now, you can do exactly the same thing in supporting others and supporting yourself at the same time. All you need to do is get yourself set up as a Zazzle Associate (which automatically makes you an affiliate.) It is not necessary for you to design products of your own (though you might want to) in order to earn income by promoting the designs of others.

How To Become A Zazzle Associate

  1. Visit www.zazzle.com
  2. Click on Sign In
  3. Register with required information.

NOTE: Always sign in before you begin to design or search for products to promote. This will assure that when you click on the "Share" and "Link" button your Zazzle Associate ID will automatically be provided in the links you share.

You are well on your way to promoting others, which is a win-win situation for you both. FANTABULOUS!

    1. Fantabulous it shall be, Charli! I enjoyed our Night Owl activity online last night! Of course, it was 2 hours later for me.

  2. Always nice to help out as a favor... and have 'success-shared'. :) I have been a Zazzle Affiliate since my early days on Squidoo and like using Zazzle images as they are frequently of fantastic (or is that 'fantabulous') photos!

    1. Yes, Pat, shared success is the best! I love zebras! And yes, I became a Zazzle Associate shortly after joining Squidoo, too.

  3. I do love Zazzle and I do appreciate all of your support. You are always wonderful to encourage and promote your friends online. Thank you!

    Ironically, the seagull featured on that binder was simply "coasting" when I snapped that shot. He was simply hanging there and letting the wind carry him to his destination. Kinda like me just hangin' at Zazzle and letting you carry us into that sale. Again, I thank you!

    1. Nice thought thinking I'm just like a sea bird, Cynthia! You know I love promoting others. I sometimes think I need to find myself some kind of job in a promotional field, I enjoy it so.

    1. You did just fine, Charli, with the correct link. You used your name instead of post name but that's ok too. And oh my goodness, your story is a fantabulous treasure! Thank you so much for hopping along!

  5. I was away at the hospital on Friday and missed your blog hop that I fully intended on joining in on. Sorry about this. Hopefully I'll remember next week and maybe even get it done early on Thursday to post first thing on Friday morning.

    1. Susan, I know you are sometimes busy at the hospital on Fridays (HUGs!) But you, anyone, can link to the group anytime throughout the week. So go ahead!
