It is usually depends on the everyday events. Up untill now I would spent an hour or two a week... and that was the best case scenario :)A few months ago I became a full time freelance illustrator and it gave me an opportunity to invest some more time in Zazzle too, so right now it stand on 2-3 hours a day, not including image creation itself.
