what's up guys thanks for joining me for
a new video today we're going to talk
about redbubble and specifically i want
to show you
something kind of random it's almost
like a hidden
redbubble google drive where they upload
design templates for various products
that we can sell on redbubble
now just to get this out the way you're
not required to use any of these design
templates
for instance because this is extra work
you know these templates are so that you
can use the replace
image function that's available for i
don't know if it's for each i almost
said for each i think it's for each
honestly
if not for each it's available for the
majority of redbubble products that we
can sell when we're creating a new
listing
and you know again it takes a little bit
of extra effort
typically when i'm doing my uploads i'm
optimizing for speed and efficiency but
if you
really like a design or you really want
your redbubble shop to be like
only the best of the best then you may
consider
using these templates and optimizing and
tweaking each design
for a specific product typed on
redbubble so i think you're gonna find
this interesting either way i'm gonna
walk you through what's available then
i'm gonna show you a couple of examples
of how to use them
and i'm gonna show you what it actually
looks like on redbubble so if you're
interested let's get started
[Music]
real quick just wanted to remind you i'm
running a weekly print on demand

enter use the link in the description
right next to that link i've got a link
to my eight day print on demand mini
course it walks you through setting up
the printful etsy integration
again completely free delivered to your
inbox one lesson a day over eight days
somebody messaged me on facebook either
this morning or yesterday saying that
they did
8 500 in sales in their first two weeks
granted it is that time of year where
sales
are uh you know higher than than normal
but i mean they just absolutely crushed
it and i know there's other people out
there doing the same
and right next to that link guys link to
my print on demand facebook community if
you'd like to join a group of
like-minded people we'd love to have you
all right let's look at these redbubble
templates so here i'm looking at the
google drive again this is maintained by
redbubble not
me and i'll put a link to this it's just
called product templates
in one of their shared folders and if
you want to check it out feel free to do
so it's
completely free to use and they add to
it over time so
let's just take a look at each folder so
they don't have a folder for every
product
they only have them for certain products
that they felt like warranted creating a
template
for so to start this is the a-line dress
template sometimes there's just a png
template other times they might include
a psd file as well this is one of the
times where they do also include
a psd file and actually you know they
don't always do
this with a document explaining how to
use it but in this case they did they
tell you
you know what what it is how to position
the graphics guides
uh how to export it and then they even
include a couple screenshots so it's
pretty cool
they show you like importing a design
into photoshop here i'll zoom in a
little bit more
and then if you overlay the
template itself over your design you can
see which portions are going to make it
into the product itself and which
portions will get cut out
and they show you how to export it
ultimately
out of photoshop so if you want to go
super in depth
on a product to product basis again not
every product has this level of
detail but the a-line dress does i mean
if
i was using this myself i'm going to
show you a couple examples but
if i was using like the a-line dress
template myself i would just
overlay this on my design in photoshop
and then turn it off and then export you
know and
that way i'd know what portion of my
design was going to make it but also
just so you guys know my typical
approach in redbubble is not to use
these templates it's just to use
redbubble's like tiling pattern
function so that i can upload a normal
you know
amazon merch optimized design and just
have it repeat
uh horizontally and vertically all right
so they have an acrylic block template
which is pretty funny because i mean
look how simple it is it's just like a
square with um
the edges showing that not not a hundred
percent of the
image that you upload well first of all
it also tells you that it's optimal to
use square dimensions but then also that
a portion will get cut out along the
edges
uh apron template so there you go
sometimes they some of these look a
little bit more professional like this
one has the uh
actual um real world physical
measurements
included and they got the redbubble logo
so you know it's legit
they have artboard templates there's
multiple of these they did it for the
various art board
sizes and they have a word document also
explaining how to use them
so i'm not going to read this to you
because i i know nobody's probably that
interested in uh
in the art boards but
all right backpack template this one's
pretty interesting and i can show you an
example of this
so they only have a png template for the
backpack
but this is interesting how they've got
this working
so just to test if this actually does
work the way they've got it laid out
i downloaded this exact image and then i
uploaded it
to redbubble and let me scroll down
because i had the mug open there
all right so here we are i uploaded that
exact image
for the backpack and by the way if you
guys didn't know this existed
you can click edit on most products like
on this product this is just a dummy
product that i threw together
using a pattern from vexels and so even
though i uploaded a pineapple graphic
for
all over print you can come down here
and click edit on a product
and then you can hit replace image
that's all i did and then i uploaded the
backpack image
and you'll notice that it actually does
line up
uh on the backpack mock-up here like i
mean i didn't actually pull up the
finished product because i didn't want
to save it but
if i did save it you can see right here
above me that it correlates exactly how
it says it will
so if we go back to google drive you'll
see that
you can design on the top pocket the
front of that pocket the face of the
backpack
you know the side panels and the bottom
panel so all of those portions are
available to design on
for redbubble backpacks
pretty cool uh they got the uh
guys i know that you were explaining to
me how to say this chiffon
chiffon scheifen i think it was scheifen
uh i feel bad now because i know i got
like at least five responses on
like people telling me how it was
pronounced on that video and i already
forgot
um scheifentop typhon either way all
right so they've got the template here
and they have the design guidelines here
in a word document as well
all right they have
clock template by the way check this out
they've got artist templates here
and i know i found it somewhere they did
have
no it was on the redbubble blog on the
redbubble blog they do on occasion
have like lifestyle mockups
for the finished products um not sure
exactly what you'd use them for since
you know
redbubble's not where i would be sending
paid traffic if i was creating ads but
maybe you know
or you know maybe you just run a blog
and you want redbubble to fulfill your
products if you have like complimentary
products that you sell
for your website um you know redbubble
is a good one-stop shop that's easy to
manage
um yeah i was like did i see those
lifestyle templates in here but it
wasn't in here it was
on the blog and i think it was on like a
product to product basis
all right contrast tank top template
looks very similar to the
a-line dress duffel bag template
so similar to the backpack in the
different portions of the graphic
are going to correlate to different
portions of the bag
fitted mask template so
newer product got the higher quality um
mock-up here or mask template
it's interesting actually tells you
where the nose it goes and where the
chin goes
interesting uh flat mask template
a lot a little bit more basic there
graphic dress template
has anybody ever sold any of these i
don't think i've sold a graphic dress
to my to my knowledge granted the year's
almost over so i'll probably do another
year in review
and if i did i'll i should be able to
find it
graphic t-shirt template yeah because
redbubble makes a
makes all of our sales available in like
csv so what i did last year was i pulled
all that csv data into google charts and
charted it
and so we'll see we'll see what products
i sold uh see if i sold one of
everything that would be awesome
so that was the jigsaw puzzle this one's
pretty
pretty basic i'm not really an expert as
far as the jigsaw puzzles go
oh okay i see what they did there so
the jigsaw puzzles come and that's
interesting that they have the ability
to do that so you can do it in like 30
to 110 piece
puzzles 252 piece puzzles 500 piece
puzzles and a thousand piece puzzles and
the thickness of the line of these
rectangles correlates to
various puzzle sizes which the side the
bigger the size the more pieces there
are
all right yeah i don't think i've sold a
puzzle because my designs i can't
imagine them looking good on puzzles but
if you're gonna do it like if you're
into photography or something
you know like i know alex strombo is
really good at photography she's
another youtuber that's crushing
redbubble um i actually did an interview
with her a couple months back probably
like in the middle of the year
and you know for instance like her
photos that are already selling on all
these other products like puzzles are
kind of new i'm sure she's gone in and
enabled puzzles and she's probably made
sales
like that would make a little bit more
sense than me designing t-shirts and
trying to sell them as puzzles
uh mugs so i'm gonna show you an example
of this here but just know the mug
template is very useful because
i was struggling to make you know my
t-shirt designs look good on mugs on
redbubble now typically like
if i'm using gear bubble which i do have
lifetime gear bubble integration so i'm
not recommending anybody go and even
don't look at gear bubble okay gear
bubble is a print-on-demand production
partner that integrates with etsy and
amazon but they charge you monthly so i
don't recommend them
but if you were using gear bubble it's
very easy to upload a t-shirt design and
add it to a mug and have it look
looking good on redbubble for some
reason i i was not having the same level
of success
so what i typically do is i typically
use the uh
the pattern function you know like this
um
you know i'll do a separate video
probably on showing you guys how i use
the pattern function but
just so you guys know you can use the
redbubble
template here the design guide and
you can um well i'll show you how i did
it actually i think i have photoshop
open
yeah so this is essentially what i did
i took a design and i dragged it into
the design template and i lined it on
the left side
and i lined it on the right side and
then what ends up happening when you hit
use the replace image function is you
get it on the
left side of the mug and the right side
of the mug now you may not want to align
it exactly along the edge like i did you
may want to kind of push it in just a
little bit more
um and i think you'll get a little bit
more centered there but
ultimately you see how this helped me
position my designs the way that if i
was using
gear bubble for instance like i could do
very quickly and very easily
for some reason redbubble just a little
bit harder for me
pin template
there you go and they show you like the
bleed areas so make sure your artwork
still covers
you know i'm sure that's kind of like
the part that wraps around the edge of
the pin
and last but not least uh sock template
and i actually ordered a bunch of socks
that i'm gonna give as christmas gifts
but
uh maybe tomorrow i definitely need to
do at least
one video kind of reviewing the various
products that i ordered
i put a nice little spin on it i ordered
a lot of
custom print on demand products to make
like a custom personalized gift
of like matching human and dog clothes
kind of like an outfit where the dog and
the human match match each other
so i got that video coming this week so
i think i got the last one of them in
the mail today
so that'll be fun i did not use the sock
template but i did order a pair of socks
for the matching outfit hopefully it's
not too over the top but we'll see i'll
i'll let you guys decide when i drop
that video
and that'll do it for this video guys
thank you for watching till the end just
wanted to remind you i do have a full
redbubble course if you want to check
that out the feedback has been very
positive you can find a link in the
description where you can find more info
on it
and if you guys want to do me a quick
favor and like and subscribe
