Two minutes in and SO THANKFUL for... no bullshit music, no teenager yelling about millions, no Lamborghini, no arrogance. MORE OF THIS on youtube. Please. Ok, back to watching.
OMG finally someone who really gives you the straight goods and doesn't sugar coat it. Two videos in and I've already learned more than all of the other "fantasyland" videos I've seen on the same subject, combined. I can't thank you enough. Now I feel confident I can do this with eyes wide open!
I'm new to Redbubble (just 5 designs, but no open store yet) and I'm in the research and knowledge attainment stage, and I must say, I consistently find your videos to be clear, concise, and extremely helpful!
That title honestly made me click so fast, keep up the great content :) Edit: Watched the entire video, honestly just amazing advice and this is the type of content that puts people in the right mindset for success without leading them to disappointment... 10/10 would smash the like button again.
Thank you so much for this video! I have made over 600 sales on Redbubble and I still feel like a beginner when Iuploaded my first design 2 years ago. One must never stop improving and trying new things, thank you for the motivation and helpful tips!
Very refreshing compared to all the noise and hype with some TH-cam channels. plus lots of tips and tricks. I stayed for the whole video and I learned more from you than the 10 others I watched on this topic. Great job Dude!
YAY Congrats on the 5k Subs..... Can I just say that I have watched many POD videos but none have been as informative and new content based as yours. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge, and wishing you the deserved success that is sure to come your way.
Man I sincerely respect the courage people have to do Etsy. I started to set up an account the other day and I backed out They told me right off that they would be able to hold money to make sure that expenses were covered for shipping etc, and they demanded my Social Security number and so many things that scared the hell out of me and I just couldn’t go through with it. I hear so many horror stories about people who have done business with Etsy for many years as a top seller only to wake up one day; just like you and their entire shop was closed down without any foreknowledge, warning or opportunity to resolve any possible issues or misunderstandings. Etsy terrifies me.
So glad I've found your channel! What made it for me was the comment of 1 year of no sales. Treat it as going to school.. put everything in to perspective. Was getting a little disheartened with no sales a few weeks in...thank you..
I am soooo happy I found you. The way you explain things is amazing, the things you provide I've never heard before and I think I watched everything on TH-cam (ok a little exaggeration but you get the idea). I am going to find each and every one of your videos and binge watch them. All I can say is "where have you been all my life?" Thanks for all the great information.
I love your content, it has ALWAYS been very helpful to me. You know, if you hear it enough, you will begin to believe it, LOL! Many successful T-shirt and merch sales folks have said the same thing, this is not a get rich quick scheme. Never has been, never will be! KEEP AT IT! Thank you so much for the awesome video. 😉👍
Another fantastic video, thanks for all the tips and clarity! Some of these things are very helpful and comforting to hear as a beginner who has not yet made a first sale.
Great video. Thank you so much. I've just started a POD business (using Redbubble and Teespring to start with) and am about to launch a joint one with my daughter (different design styles). I figured the first 12 months will be a "learning experience", but it's great to hear from an experienced POD designer what to expect and not to give up.
Totally - for me personally, print on demand is really fun and the sales are a bonus. Making even $50 or $100 a month on a small shop selling cool designs is like a hobby that pays you instead of you paying to play.
This is so interesting, I normally dont bother as much with 30+ minute video's, but i watched the whole thing now. You have some solid tips which I wouldn't expect when clicking this initially. Big thumbs up
watching this video second time, first - when just started. Thank you for a "year without sales" - it gives hope) The year hadn't past and got some sales) work, work and work! And now I am looking on my shop - and I see that many designs are not good. Do not have many designs - but want to delete half of them
Failure is going to happen and it’s going to happen a lot!! Thank you... no one says that and it drives me crazy. Like everything, if you keep returning to it after many fails it means you love it and you will ultimately succeed. : )
Thank you for this. Everyone says "just do a TH-cam channel, do affiliate marketing, etc" it's much harder than I thought it was..to even get subscribers let alone watch time and everything else. I wish I hadn't believed some of the stuff, my fault, my responsibility, I know
Yes its 100x times harder than what they tell us.. Hours and hours of hard work where you only sell 1 design out of 10 you post.. Same with the youtube and everything else.
I love your attitude, and work ethic. I was just thinking to myself it’s like a university speciality which will take time to connect all the dots, and make coherent sense to creating and then becoming successful.
Thank you, I found this video, right at the time I needed it! Also, going off track here, but I love your voice! It’s so relaxing! Sometimes I look up videos that I don’t really feel like watching, but I should watch them, but the person making the video is annoying or talks way to loud, or whatnot. I figured I should watch some videos today to learn some things, I found you and I could watch all day, because your voice is soothing! Well, anyway, thank you for the video!
Hey Zen, I've been binge watching your videos since I found your channel and subscribed a few weeks ago...just echoing some other comments from below, but love your clean and informative style... Keep it up!
i opened my redbubble last feb and still zero sales. i'm kind of figuring out things and how to be visible and how all that works. recently i made a design that made it to 1st page of relevant search results with over 22k other designs. still figuring out how that specific design managed to be on 1st page of such saturated niche and results of 22k. to anyone who is reading this, don't give up. i guess my design showing at 1st page vs 22k designs is a sign that even if we are still starting, we can be visible and we will figure it out. your video is amazing and motivating. thank you.
Thank you very much for your helpful advice! Ironically, I am actually in Omaha! So this gave me some good ideas since I can observe the community. 😊🙌🏼
I love this video and you voice.. Holy makaroni, I could just listen to this for hours on end 🎧🙏 Getting in the zone 🤓 I'll be subscribing after this, most definitely 👍 Thank you Mr. 🙏
Priceless advice! Thank you so much. Feels like after watching this, you shaved off months of my otherwise probable future errors. Here's my contribution to this video: ------ if you're having fun you can't fail, even if to others looks like failure.-------- 💪💛 I'm just getting started on RB so I'm really curious to apply your approach and come back to this comment in a year from now and share my resoults. In fact I challenge whoever is reading this to do the same. 😉 Good Luck Ya'll.
Nice and full of insights as always! I like your approach of being more realistic instead of others who overly promote print on demand as a passive income. I am just wondering for uploading in 10 POD sites, have you used some automated apps that you can connect these POD sites (eg redbubble) and upload at once?
That’s a good question - no I do not use automation. What I do is set up my titles and tags in a Word doc and then just copy and paste them into each upload. I also make all my Redbubble images the same size so I can “copy settings” and just plow through the uploads
@@zenwatercooler and then for all other POD sites, you post new listings then copy paste the tags from docs? like your browser has 10 tabs open...? wow if you are doing this in one hour you're pretty fast
I’ve been about 6 months now in different PODS and started selling on the 6 th month in some of them. Was a bit discouraged about not having sales, but I’m just starting to add new tags to my designs since watching these great tips. Not expecting to get 10,000 sales …😅but hope to get at least a few more Thanks so much for sharing this great information
@@padkirsch not so well...😁I may need to keep posting new material, but it's hard for me to try to do everything by myself, posting on social media, on PODs, youtube...too much!😅
@@art_by_Ruth_and_Co what different POD sites do you use? Keep at it! Post your stuff to Pinterest and other sites like this! Make sure to title things good. Keep at it. Find new niches that have less things but are still searched for etc. What is your page where can I find it? 🙂
@@art_by_Ruth_and_Co yea it's hard it's so much work! 😥 Keep up the good work. Just keep doing it. And do the art for yourself so you don't get discouraged. It's definitely a long process and hard work
I've only just started on RB... Can u give your shop ID so I can visit? Also how do u promote your products? Im using pinterest pins for now but I guess that won't be enough
Just wanted to point out that corn in Nebraska is not about corn fields. This is a football shirt and the football team is Cornhuskers. This is a good effective way to refer to Cornhuskers without saying the trademarked content. Good example of how to avoid copyright and trademark issues.
Hey cool video, glad I found you. Just started my journey back in August 2020 on mba and rb and am only on 68 sales on RB at the moment. The only thing I wasnt sure was if you also sell on mba? If not why not? With 10k sales on other platforms you would be killing it on amazon.
Thank you for the advice it's very accessible and helpful. One question I have is this...Do you upload the exact same designs on more than one site? Or even a similar design, like you have a shirt that says I Love My Cat and you only change the font. Obviously there are some who do this, I was just wondering if you have and how well it's worked. Thanks
Yes great question - I typically make my design on the largest possible canvas and then for Redubble and Teepublic, push it to both of those. For others, I will use the canvas in Photoshop and make something similar. So yes to the exact same design like 75% of the time. It works OK - I find actually I make more consistent sales on Teepublic but the bigger wins $$$ wise are on Redbubble. (For me anyways)
Hello mister with the great and cool voici, i was wondering if when you upload a design, can you select only a gender for your design? I mean only t shirt for men for exemple? Or you only choose for products ?
Hey there - on Redbubble you can turn on or off products so you can switch off certain types of shirts. Most of the basic t-shirts are unisex - typically you would want to have your one design listed on as many products as possible. I have sold some seriously weird stuff (designs on jigsaw puzzles and shower curtains that I was shocked that someone actually paid money for it).
Great video. What resolution do you use when making your designs for shirts? i use 4500x5400 px with canva, i upload that with transparent backgound, redbubble is redusing the size of the design to fit the t-shirt, the problem is the design, especially the text looks very jagged on closer look, how do you deal with that?
Yes it's a good question - I try to use the highest-quality base image (like a vector) if at all possible. The text should be the easy part - I am wondering if when you save with Canva it is not going to 300 dpi? For Redbubble I do 6480 x 7632 (and either 300 dpi or 400 dpi and I use an ancient version of Photoshop).
@@zenwatercooler Hey, thanks for answering. Canca saves the png designs at a max 96dpi value unfortunately, only pdf for print option gets 300dpi, so i guess that's where the problem is. I didn't start using Photoshop because it seemed easier with Canva since it has all those elements just ready to use for my designs. I'm new btw, barely having 20 designs atm, but I do have time and desire to learn 😅
Honestly, I came across some redbubble accounts, created this year with thousands of likes. There is one, created in Feb, 2021, this month, having only 5 designs, with more than 8000 likes. How come? Is it realistic? Dont know... Btw, do you know whether it's possible to use erank without having a shop? I tried and it constantly asks for me Etsy shop link but I havent opened it yet. Thanks for your reply in advance.
Hey there - for eRank, I just logged in using my Etsy account (I do NOT have a shop anymore on Etsy so it should work even if you don't link a shop to your username). I primarily use eRank for keyword tools (they have some free stuff that is useful).
so true, i started with exactly 100 t-shirt designs for amazon merch, that was my goal, 2 shirts sell alot, 98 never sell, i do better designs now and have a niche...2 years hard work and its still not a big earner, keep on trying never give up
I’m yet to upload my first design and what really annoys me is while I’m searching on a platform for inspiration and I see a product where someone has just taken one of the free images available online made no changes to it and just uploaded it. And you can definitely see the difference in the quality of someone who has made some changes to an image they got on-line compared to someone who has just literally downloaded and then uploaded it straight onto A selling platform
Question, though. Do we add the "xyz STICKER" part to the tags? I thought we just put "xyz" and RB adds the product to the tags. Thank you for all your help. Your videos are excellent.
Yes that is a great question. Tags are mysterious (there is no “one source of truth”, just some RB blog posts). I personally think that there is no downside to putting the word “sticker” in the tag itself. I have found no evidence that there’s negatively impact a chance at a sale. However there are lots of different opinions so my experience only! P.S. thank you so much for the feedback!
I have a question that I hope no one asked. The question is is there any profitable niche in shirts. That has no living thing photos on it. No religious talk on it. No abuses on it. Please reply

so true, i started with exactly 100 t-shirt designs for amazon merch, that was my goal, 2 shirts sell alot, 98 never sell, i do better designs now and have a niche...2 years hard work and its still not a big earner, keep on trying never give up
I have read 150 red bubble reviews on one product, they all seem fake. Noone said anything specific about the design or the joke upon it.
Yup. They put fake reviews on my items. I was confused at first because I don’t have sales yet and thought maybe something had sold nope lol
Thank you😊
Very helpful!
I’m yet to upload my first design and what really annoys me is while I’m searching on a platform for inspiration and I see a product where someone has just taken one of the free images available online made no changes to it and just uploaded it. And you can definitely see the difference in the quality of someone who has made some changes to an image they got on-line compared to someone who has just literally downloaded and then uploaded it straight onto A selling platform
Yes I personally like to create unique designs in niches that sell. I hope you have fun starting your print-on-demand adventure!
Question, though. Do we add the "xyz STICKER" part to the tags? I thought we just put "xyz" and RB adds the product to the tags. Thank you for all your help. Your videos are excellent.
Yes that is a great question. Tags are mysterious (there is no “one source of truth”, just some RB blog posts). I personally think that there is no downside to putting the word “sticker” in the tag itself. I have found no evidence that there’s negatively impact a chance at a sale. However there are lots of different opinions so my experience only! P.S. thank you so much for the feedback!
So helpful
I have a question that I hope no one asked. The question is is there any profitable niche in shirts. That has no living thing photos on it. No religious talk on it. No abuses on it. Please reply
In my opinion, there are literally thousands of profitable niches. th-cam.com/video/VYKiks684Tw/w-d-xo.html
I love this chanel.
Thank you Beth! I appreciate it! 😻😻😻
Great info!! As for Redbubble, should I tag up to 50 or keep at 15? Thank you!!
Great question - I have heard both - I personally go with about 30 tags (usually because I am too lazy to think up 50)
