Promoting from the Zazzle Community has never been easier!
Use the forward and back buttons to get to each product / collection you want to share and then hit the buttons for sharing.
Note that any products shared in the Community Boards that use shortened links are excluded from this speed sharer. Also, products / collections have to have been shared with the Zazzle-given html code you get via the product / collection page link button or the Nifty Speed-Sharer for posting to Zazzle Community Boards available in the Nifty Promo Control Panel.
There's also a handy feature for easily opening a new tab / page on a Board topic. Either:
Of course, to do 2, you need to know the topic (message) id...
Behind the scenes Zazzle sometimes uses the term "message" where they really mean board topic. Where it helps, we put it in brackets after the word "topic". So a "message id" is really the (behind-the-scenes) id of a board topic.
When you set the image frame mode on, you can choose to use your own image frame instead of the automatically generated ones.
To use your own:
More about making your own image frames:
If you switch off the image frame mode, then the normal image of the products / collections will be used once more and the Facebook and Twitter buttons will become available again.
Your referral id and associate id are the same thing. One has to be provided, so until you give yours, ours will always be used. If you've got an up-to-date subscription, yours will be used on all links.
Without a subscription, as long as you put in your referral id, half the links will use it and the other half, ours - as chosen by your computer / mobile / tablet flipping a virtual coin.
If you have a Nifty Zazzle Promoter Program subscription, links for your products / collections will be clean, with all others using your referral id (and tracking code, see below).
If you want to restrict the products / collections to those from a particular store, put in the store id - that's the one in a store link.
For example, in the following store link, the store id is hightonridley
https://www.zazzle.com/store/hightonridley
The main purpose of putting links "out there" is so that people can follow them and buy what you're promoting. If you're half serious about it, you need to know whereabout and what types of thing works best.
And that's what tracking codes are for. You see, when someone follows one of your links with a tracking code in it, and you end up being credited for an arising sale, Zazzle will tell you what the tracking code was in the link used.
The buttons below will put fbk_, twtr_ or pntrst_ on the front of the tracking code you give and will add today's date on the end.
You can use pretty much anything for your own tracking codes - letters and underscores only according to Zazzle documentation. I'm not sure what the character limit is but I've sometimes used 20 or more.
The default one suggested here is nzcb - short for Nifty Zazzle Community Board but you'll likely put in a much better one, one reflecting the type of product or the theme.
How does Zazzle tell you the tracking code in the link used when you're successful? They tell you on the line in your Referral History Report which records the sale.
If you have a Nifty Zazzle Promoter Program subscription, links for your products / collections will be clean, with all others using your (referral id and) the tracking code you give here.
This is really only useful here for listing topics in the Show Me and Affiliate Requests boards. We've included the other boards because it's also a handy way of checking for topics you haven't seen in them yet.
When you choose a board you'll see a list of all topics within it displayed in the scrollable area (Zazzle limits this to a maximum of 100). Each topic title is shown, together with its "message (topic) id". You can click a topic to open it in a new tab / window.
If you set a date filter, then only topics created since that date will be shown.
Note that only topic (message) ids from the Show Me or Affiliate Requests boards can be used in the sharer section below.
click to open the ShowMe board in a new tab / window so you can get the message id
To get the id of the message (topic) you want to promote from, follow the instructions in the image below (click it to open in a new tab / window and see larger)
Once you've got it, put it in the box above.
set image frame mode
When you set the image frame mode on, a frame will be added around the product image, changing it from square to a Pinterest-recommended aspect ratio (600x900). If it's a collection image then it's slightly fatter (668x900).
Image frames work only on Pinterest so the other sharing buttons are hidden as a reminder.
To give some variety to your framed product pins, the following applies:
If you switch off the image frame mode, then the normal image of the products / collections will be used once more and the Facebook and Twitter buttons will become available again.

The above text is the product's title as supplied by the designer (with 'Ad:' added at the front - remove if you like).
Otherwise you can copy ready for pasting into your Facebook shares.
text pad, if you need one:
Use these notes to keep track of the message ids you've promoted. When you click save, the date is added at the front so you always know when you did what.
It's a good idea to include the title of the message as well as its id so you can see at a glance where you are with your promoting.
If you need to, you can edit an existing note (but not the date it was created). When you've made your edits, click Update to apply your changes. The edited date is added at the end of the note.
The notes are stored locally in your browser and are 'persistent' so they're always available, even after you shut down and restart things. They're specific to the browser you're using at the time, so if you use different browsers, each will have its own notes.
It's a good idea not to put any personal info in them, just in case.
