In this video I show you everything you need to know for TeePublic. I start with niche research. How to find a topic. Designing for that topic in Canva. Then uploading and writing a title and tags with the right keywords.

Thank you so much! Your videos are very helpful as I'm just getting started in POD 😊
You are so welcome!
I am new to POD and just starting out and thank you so much for explaining it so well and so simple .Really really helpful for me.
Glad I could help
thanks juna. you're an inspiration
Wow, thank you
Great Lesson. Thanks.
Glad you liked it!
I did my 1st Geometric Abstract Colorful Cat following your instructions and it came out fabulous.
Nice!!! I hope you get a ton of sales
Thank you!
You're welcome!
Thank you, thank you, thank you 🙏🏽 😊
You are so welcome
I just love your tutorials! You show everything step by step and not being lazy :) Please do some zazzle videos how to know what is selling there and such...thanks in advance :)
Thank you! Will do!
@@DetourShirts I hope so. Mey just did a pretty good Zazzle video but, Mey can be hard to follow along with sometimes
Great video, thank you!
Glad you liked it!
Thanks Juna, super helpful
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks for sharing your experience and thanks for helping me.
My pleasure!
Thank you
You're welcome
The best ❤️❤️🔥

Awesome. Thank you.
You are very welcome
Thanks for video, really help full!
Glad it helped!
Thanks for the tips..
Any time
great video. thankyou!
Thanks
Thx very much ❤
You are very welcome
Very helpful tutorial. Thank you for sharing your insight!
Glad it was helpful!
Good video Juna. I have a Teepublic (It makes sales here and there) and have not paid to much attention to it because I'm busy on other platforms. Thanks for leveling up my game a bit more for it.
Happy to help
Hey, what other platforms do you work on ?
Thank you bro you are good man❤
Happy to help
thanks
You're welcome!
Great video Juna....I love Teepublic’s uploader! If only Society6 would take a clue from them!
Agreed
Hi Juna! Im newbie on POD business... Still confuse about that niche stuff & how to design. Find a lot of great tips from your channel. Keep it up!
Greetings from Indonesia... ❤ --Glo--
Glad it was helpful!
Me encantó este diseño , no lo había visto nunca muchas gracias excelente.
Thank you beforehand.
You're welcome!
@@DetourShirts But you didn't answer my questions below.
That New Redbubble feature is so cool! What a great idea
I think so too!
So I’m watching your video trying to get the hang of things I type in geometric cat and yours is the first I see on teepublic 😂
Nice!! It works
I love your videos specially the design ones. I learnt a lot from them. May i ask what font is this on your cover thumbnail. I love this distressed font.
It's called Veneer
I'd like to see a tutorial of the multi-uploader. Thanks Juna.
Noted....Coming soon!
Nice video! Thank you. Always such helpful information.
Sidebar: That scroll you did at the end, and all the AI art cats, yuck 😆
I know..... I bet we see more and more of this
perfect juna
Thank you
Thank you for your tutorials! Are you using mock-ups for Teepublic or Redbubblle or those are for other platforms (Etsy, Shopify, etc). Thank you in advance!
It's for other platforms like Etsy and Shopify.... TeePublic and RedBubble don't need mockups but you could use mockups for them when posting on social media if you want to.
This tutorial is very helpful! Where and how do you promote your shirts after you upload them?
I usually just do social media posts.... twitter, instagram, pinterest, etc
Thanks for this detailed video. I can not find the tee public set up in my red bubble store dashboard. Do you how I can find it?
I've heard that not everyone has gotten it yet.... sorry... I just assumed we all had it.
Can you also do video on why the designs are not showing in the search and how to overcome this thank you.
Yes... I'll do my best
Thank You for a wonderful teaching tutorial. I ordered one of my shirts and you can barely see the words. It was a cosmic design with words inside. What is the best font and best size? Thank You for an excellent job.
The best font is something you can easily read.... that's also the best size... readability is key. If you can't read the words on the thumbnail of your design the font is too small
Hey Juna, great vid, thanks. makes transferring 600+ designs easier. Question: I notice that you maintain your "brand" across multiple platforms, is there a downside for doing that? Thanks again, love ya work....
The only downside is that people know how to find me... including the copycats
Yeah! Pity this feature wasn't made available to all accounts. Tough shit for Redbubble, what goes around comes around. I'm getting outta RB. Cheers
Hi, I am newer on POD. I want to begin to work in teepublic so learn all your videos. I have a question. What first we should do- to design our account or load 20 designs?
I would design your account as much as you can.... It may change after you get more designs up but that's okay.
Juna some people suggest enabling only 3-4 primary colors for t-shirts because they believe it's more likely for the customer to buy when he has limited options to choose from (reducing indecisiveness). What do you think?
That makes sense.... less to decide
Very useful video and I appreciate the help! I use Merch Informer for Amazon but couldn't find anything to niche down on Teepublic or finding trends. I just started 2 wks ago with Merch by Amz, Etsy and Teepublic last week. Do you suggest Etsy? or should I just focus on Amz and other platforms?
I would suggest not doing Etsy until you are ready to pay for sales upfront and doing a lot more customer service.... Etsy is a different kind of POD site.... I would focus on Amazon and TeePublic first and figure out what works..... know what you are getting in for before starting Etsy
@@DetourShirts Thanks, Juna, for the advice.
That's not all there is to know. There's not enough of a section about not having your designs in the search after you upload them. That's because they don't confirm the store. My store hasn't been confirmed for a year.
Hmmmmm..... sorry to hear that..... I wish I knew how to help with that situation
Can you please elaborate on this? I see my design in my storefront but can't find it when searching for it (I even typed in the whole phrase that's in the design). Thank you 😊
How you find out that your store is not confirmed and how you confirmed your store ??
Hi bro, thanks for the video. What i dont get it is Teepublic creates the design and do the shipping right? we don't to use Printfy for example. We just create and post the designs, and thats all?
Yes, exactly
Thanks 4 your explanation. I tried to upload design from canva on Tpublic 5000x5000px, but failed. How can I fixed it?
Maybe it was the wrong file type? You will need to upload a transparent PNG
hey juna, how long does it take to show your work on profile (Red bubble) for a new artist?
Should be instant.... pretty fast anyway
and the second question: Must we place our designs in social platforms and in which form as a design or we should download the model from Teepublic then share them?
Whatever works best for you... but remember social media is for sharing value not advertising... no one goes to social to look for ads.... so you need to think about what audience you are targeting on social media and what is the value you are bringing.
Hey Juna thank you for all your amazing work. My store got rejected on Teepublic for being searchable they replied to my email but without telling me why. i would appreciate if you can shred some light into subject of how to get your store approved there and if those guys gives another chance, should i stop unloading should i continue? I'm lost. thank you for all your work
Sorry to hear that.... I would just reach out to TeePublic and explain your situation. I'm sorry I don't have a better answer than that.
@@DetourShirts No Worries Juna thank you for everything nevertheless.
How to set custom price????????
You can't on TeePublic... they set the price and those in the Artisan category get $4 per shirt sale and those in the Apprentice Category get $3 per shirt sale
hey!! Has anyone tried this and it works this way? Thank You
Do you mean the transfer from RedBubble to TeePublic? I haven't tried it but I heard not everyone has it either.... sorry
Thanks Juna.
I have 2600+ design in my store my avg 150$/month. is worth to work more?
Well not just more.... learn what sell and do more of those..... more of the ones that work
Hi Juna! When I was tagging my products, several times appeared a message telling something like their system identified an specific tag as a main tag, "trust us", but then I could not find the tag between my tags or anywhere in my uploading proccess. What do I have to do when that message appears? How do I accept that tag??
They want you to use that tag as the main tag... just switch them out
hi bro. I often experience treadmarks but I haven't found a solution. Can you make a video discussing treadmills on Teepublic? I have checked every keyword , but I could only find a few keywords that were not listed. If I force myself to add these keywords, the result will be that my design will be deleted by teepublic. What is the solution for that bro?
TeePublic isn't as picky about trademarks but I still would check USPTO to make sure
that menu not appear on mine
Yeah... I found out after making the video is that they are rolling it out to different people at different times.... you may get it later
Should i have one niche in my account?
I makes it easier but it isn't necessary
The best selling designs is trademarks stuff is it allowed in TP? I can draw a ton of fan art but I don't want to lose my account.
I would not risk it.... just do fan art if they allow it but not if the don't
Don't do it even if they allow the strike will come from the sky and later they will respond only with automated email msgs only
How many designs you have uploaded on Merch Amazon, RedBubble & TeeSpring?
Over 11K on Amazon, Over 1000 on RedBubble and about 100 on TeeSpring.... I do have over 1000 on TeePublic if that's what you meant to ask.
I need to know something, should I start a new print on demand and only design related to a niche? Or should you put the design all at once?
Only if you know what niche will work out... most don't know what niche will work for them so most should try lots of niches until they find the one that works for them
@@DetourShirts Thanks, I asked many people about this problem and they all shouted at me and didn't give me a proper word, only you explained it clearly.
Juno my teepublic account got suspended i just uploaded only 3 design all AI generated with no copyright issue and tags and description used properly . Can u suggest what i should do
Write to TeePublic... figure out what was the thing that got you suspended and don't to that again..... I don't think it's just AI generated content but it could be the way the designs look.... I've uploaded over 100+ designs that use AI artwork. I don't upload them straight though I remove backgrounds and I add to them.
Love your videos, do you have any idea why Redbubble aren’t allowing new accounts to verify their phone numbers?
I don't .... I'll have to check on that
@@DetourShirts thanks appreciate it
Hey ignore me, finally after 3 days of trying it worked and I got verified
I really appreciate the quick and seamless title and tags suggestion, but you're not addressing the most important issue. Respectfully, as great as you are since you've been in Teepublic for a long time, you're not mentioning that new sellers may encounter difficulties with their designs not appearing instantly after opening their shop.
I was hoping to talk about it when I uploaded my design.... I assumed it wouldn't show up right away. To my surprise it did.... I will do another video about how designs don't show up and my thoughts.
Looking forward to the video asap. I am facing that situation. My store is not showing up on teepublic. That's is the major challenge new artist face on teepublic. Your store will not show up. It seems they are satisfied with the numbers of artists they have there and don't want to add new to it. And they are not confident enough to disclose it in the public reasons best known to them.
Same here
how much money do you made on t public a month?
About $400-$500
Hi ! I have 40+ design uploades in teepublic, but i cant find my designs 😢 what happen?
You may be in the Apprentice category
Hey Juna,.. when people look for my Tee Public store,.. no one can find it ! Any suggestions ? 🤔
Keep uploading relevant designs and give it time.... how long have you been on TeePublic
Thanks for your awesome content. I am looking to set up a Teepublic Account. I checked my Redbubble and don't have that link that allows me to link to Teepublic. Is that country specific or has that since your video came out been disabled? Thanks
I found out that only certain people have that.... I thought everyone did. Sorry
@@DetourShirts Thanks Juno, appreciate your reply.
same problem
Sir do you have multiple teepublic accounts ? or one?
Just one
MY DASHBOARD IS NOT SHOWING THAT SELL ON TEEPUBLIC OPTION? IS IT SOMETHING I'M UNAWARE OF😕
No.... I found out that not everyone had it.... sorry
Is there an teepublic on philippines?
On Philippines? I believe it's international and you probably can use it in the Philippines but I'm not 100% sure
i dont sharing thing on my redbuuble dashboard
I think it was only for certain people... sorry
What does the blue check mark means by the designer's name?
Blue checks usually mean that the name is verified but I don't remember seeing any on TeePublic.... Where did you see that?
@@DetourShirts
I saw it on Redbubble. Sorry, I thought it was on TeePublic.
Hey, plz i wanna know why my design doesn't shows when I search for it (like do I need to upload more than a specific number of designs or what...) and thank u.
You may be in the apprentice category and those don't show up in search
@DetourShirts Ah ok, and plz do u know the solution?
and thank u again.
How can advertise these things without much amount?
Social Media can work if you build it up
That "Sell on Tee Public" link doesn't appear on my Redbubble dashboard console. Do I need to create a Tee Public account first before it appears? I thought the link would take you to a sign up page so they could be connected. Am I missing something? Thanks Juna
No.... I recently found out that they are rolling it out slowly and I was one of the first to get it.... sorry, I just assumed everyone had it
@@DetourShirts Got suspended on RB yesterday. No reason of course. Submitted appeal. We'll see. My work was all original.
Nicely explain Thank you
Glad it was helpful!
if i just take a design from canva and put it in a shirt , will teepublic remove my design or close my acc ?
Possibly... I would change it up
hello . i have just started selling on Teepublic and i wanna know . Is it okay if i upload 6designs per day ?
Yes... you can upload up to 60
Does teepubly pay globally...worldwide?
I think so... but I'm not 100% sure
Hey! I have been searching for my desgines on the marketplace. but they don't seem to be showing up i have posted over than 20 listings and i have added a cover photo and profil picture and albums to my stors
but i still cannot see them. is there anything i can do to make them visible on your marketplace? im really fed up and fell sad
That's very strange.... I would email TeePublic or try posting again.... do you want to see if I can see them?
@@DetourShirts Yess please .
Thank Great video
Detour. i have a question mylist is not show in market teepublic .I search my title design there is notthing my list . you know what happen. My English isn't very good sorry for about that
Sometimes that happens.... I don't know exactly what's happening but some of my designs don't show up in search some days either.... but I still get sales on those so I'm guessing they show sometimes
@@DetourShirts Thankyou juna
Do you sell on Etsy?
I currently don't sell on Etsy
hello great video, when i search my designs I cannot get them to appear in the search like you did, should I be concerned ?
TeePublic made 2 categories recently.... Apprentice and Artisan..... Apprentice designs don't appear in searches but if you create more designs and designs that TeePublic thinks are good enough to be in the Artisan category than your designs will show up.
@@DetourShirts wow I had no idea ! So how many do they need in a shop I have 100 designs currently so that means mine won’t sell untill they show up in searches ?
@@DetourShirts how do we know if they are good enough ?
Great question.... I think it's up to TeePublic to determine but when you think you have enough good ones you can email them.
Hey Juna, thanks for the vid. Your vids are always a good watch. However, I'd like to see you mention a bit more about Titles, because TeePublic, unlike our friends at Etsy, don't want you to put in the title whether it is a T-shirt, Mug, Coffe Cup, Sticker, etc. I came across from Etsy to both Redbubble and TeePublic in an attempt to expand my audience, and made the fatal flaw of including what the actual product in my design was for. This is a no-no on TeePublic and resulted in my design being removed and then without any warning or correspondence, the account was deleted. Here's what they said after I asked why my account was deleted: "This design was disabled for making product claims in the design title. Making false claims about products (claiming your design will be on a t-shirt, hoodie, sticker, mug, etc.) creates customer confusion which results in refund requests. For this reason, making false claims about products goes against the terms and conditions. Product claims will be automatically updated on the marketplace when the customer selects the product they want your design on." Hope this info is helpful to others who have listed on this site and being used to including the product in the title description. Thanks. Keep up the great vids.
Great tip..... I need to mention that more often... it's true for most PODs that sell multiple products.
I create canva use design but my teepublic account removed for teepublic so what can I do?
Hmmmm try a different POD site and figure out why your account got removed
@@DetourShirtsdont tell reason but removed account came mail..
How can i see designs i already posted
It should be on your shop.... Hover over My Account and then click on My Storefront. If you have more than 1 page worth than you can click through the other pages by scrolling to the bottom. You can sort your shop by Newest and see your newest uploads
@@DetourShirts Thanks a lot 💙
My design doesn’t show in teepublic ? Any solution?
Just opened my account btw is that the reason !
Keep at it.... My guess is sometimes it shows and sometimes it doesn't.... some of my designs don't show up on certain days.
That is 100% the reason. Flesh out your account (10-20 designs) and profile. Then you may have to contact teepublic and let them know you are a committed artist if your designs still won’t show up.
Hi
I didn't understand, how did you drag them from canva to upload design... Please hepl me
You save the the Canva design as a PNG first (Share then download).... this usually saves your design to your downloads folder or desktop... then drag that file to TeePublic
@@DetourShirts thnx
@@DetourShirts i have one problem. My design did not save means just logo. How can i just logo? Actually when i dowload then transparent logo not opened.
kindly tell how to put tags and title? I am confused everytime whenever i use title and tags? title short, title long wbu tags? kindly tell
Sure.... The title should only be 1-5 words with your main keywords or long tail keywords in the title. Tags are specific words that you can choose after to describe your design. You can only have 15 different tags. The nice thing about TeePublic is that they will suggest tags for you so you don't have to come up with all 15 yourself.
@@DetourShirts is our title related to text which was written on tshirt as design or our text related to category? Is there is going to be any problem if we use someone else title? tags what we should include in main tags? and what we should include in main tag like is design was relevant to animal what we should add ''cat or animal''
It should be related but It doesn't have to be exact. The title should reflect what people will be searching for when looking for your design. You can use someone else's title if it matches your design. The main tag should be the tag that matches your design the most. I would go more specific than broad. Cat over animal if your design is a cat for example.
@@DetourShirts thanks
Hey juna
I created my teepublic account one year ago i have uploaded about 98 designs but my designs did not show on the market place i have deleted my account yesterday and make a new one with new name and uploaded two designs and wait 12 hours for optimising but same thing happened they're not showing 😥
Oh no.... maybe give it more time.... and keep checking somedays I see some of mine and other days I don't
You have to go through the process of making sure your shop is presented well with links, headers, albums, and all that, and then contact them and request they look everything over and approve you for being in the main searches. I've been able to do it easily with three different themed shops once having them fully up and running with a good amount of quality designs to show off.
I have 200+ design on teepublic. Is also not showing
@@glassmonkeyface8609 okay
Why design loads of shirts designs if they're not gonna be seen on the apprentice section of teepublic
So that you can get to the Apprentice section
Can I upload all the products using 5000x 5000 pixels?
No... according to TeePublic it must be 5000x5500
@@DetourShirts I’m sorry I should’ve asked would a 5,000x5000 design work for clothing.
every body is talking about selling t.shirts, maaaan I sell tote bags and I don't find guys talking about that!!
I don't sell that many totes... what platform are you selling them on?
I created a TeePublic account and I have not received an email?
You may get one later
@@DetourShirts
Do I need to be at 100 shirts? I'm at 88.
Thank you so much for information.
Hi, juna i can't see sell on teepublic in my dashboard
same here
Oh no.... I was hoping everyone had it... they most be rolling it out in phases
@@DetourShirts As you said, if you open a new TP account, you can migrate your RB designs to TP. How about if you ALREADY have a TP account, can you also import designs from RB to an existing TP account? If yes, how?
I think that is a question for RedBubble.... I would hope so
come on bro where is the adds video you say for me befor that you gonna make one soon , i wait for like 4 monthes pls do it
Do you mean a video like this.... th-cam.com/video/KQio67WOnjA/w-d-xo.html
I did the same pattern as u told but my design did not show
Sometimes it takes a while
@@DetourShirts i just hope less every day i post 4 t shirt but no sell 😔😔
Post 100 and then see what happens
And i posted 65 design but still no sell
How long ago have you posted them?
@@DetourShirts every day i post
I have a teepublic account so it won't let me import from RB :(
Aw man... sorry
@@DetourShirts were you able to?
I didn't do that just because I already have my TeePublic shop set up with all the designs I need
@@DetourShirts I see, thanks for the reply and thanks for all you do for the community. You are appreciated!
Hi, is Teepublic free to sell ?
Yes it is.... sign up and upload....no money required.... connect your PayPal account to get paid when you make a sale
@@DetourShirts Thank you.
My teepublic account got removed for no reason ☹️☹️plz help me out
I wish I knew how... if that happened to me the first thing I would do is send them an email.... contact TeePublic
The integration from teepublic and redbubble is not for everyone unfortunately
Yup... sorry... I thought since I had it everyone did
@@DetourShirts no worries just wanted others to know as well
Tee Public sucks. They are not allowing new designers to show up in the marketplace. At least that's what they essentially told me in their email when I contacted them to see if they could post my listings. They said no they dont do that any more and from now on all new designers will have to promote their own work.
I think it depends on the category you are put in to... I'll make a video about the categories soon
