I just sold 10 copies each of two cards at zazzle.  Total royalty was $3.40.

The interesting thing is that they were landscape photographs from a tourist
town, which I'd say are "above average" in artistic merit but far from say
Flickr's Explore quality.  I did tag them well and put in a good description of
the exact location featured.

This is *such* a motivation to upload my entire collection of vacation photos.

Congratulations. You've just sold more stuff than I have in my entire 
Zazzle career.

(OTOH, one of the items I told was a fairly large poster that I got $8 for.)

I guess only weird people like me enjoy psychedelic fractal images. ;-)

Well, mine are tagged too. Trouble is, if you search Zazzle for 
"fractal", you'll find several billion results. Fractals are extremely 
easy to generate, requiring almost no skill or talent. And some people 
aren't using dinosaur software that makes everything hard to do like I am...

Fractals are my best sellers at zazzle.  Maybe you should be using a more
advanced program, LIKE POVRAY!, to make them!!  ;-)
