I'm going to tell you everything you need
to know to make money with print on demand,
Let's go!
Redbubble is still the best website for beginners
but you can apply the advice in this video
to any print on demand website.
The reason I recommend Redbubble for beginners
is because you sign up for free
and you're guaranteed to get in.
You can upload something immediately
and it gets put on lots of products for people to buy.
You get paid and Redbubble does all the work,
producing and sending the products to customers.
There are other websites which I'll talk about in a minute,
but all of this advice I'm giving you is applicable
to any print on demand site.
You need three things to make money
with print on demand on Redbubble or any site.
The first one is designs.
You create designs which get put on products
that get sold to customers.
That's how you make money.
"Wait a minute Uncle Owl",
"Don't I have to be a designer or artist?"
No, you don't because there's so many sites
that you can use for free.
Here's just a few of them that I like to use.
This is PlaceIt.
If you've got the ability to click
and the ability to type, you can make designs
that sell.
It's free to use.
This is Canva, pretty similar and also free.
This is Vexels.
You get the idea by now.
I'll list all these and more in the description.
These sites let you edit templates for free,
and then you can sell them on Redbubble and other platforms.
There are literally thousands of free templates
and resources.
You can pay if you want to access more features,
but you don't have to.
If you decide to, the links in the description
will give you a discount.
Plus it supports me and my channel
so I can keep sharing information with you.
The second thing you need is to be aware of the market.
Who is your target demographic going to be?
You're unlikely to be successful uploading random things
and hoping for the best.
Let's get some strategy, my friend.
Think about who your customer is going to be.
What are they into?
Do they like K-Pop?
Or, are they obsessed with ultra running?
Use your own interests to figure out what niche
you want to target.
Niche, or "nitch" if you're American,
is just the word that refers to a specific area
or multiple areas that you're going to have in mind
when you make these designs.
That way you can make sure you're meeting
the existing demand for products,
rather than making something that nobody's interested in.
In other words, find out what people want to buy
and then make it, rather than making something
and hoping people want to buy it.
"But what if I have zero hobbies and interests?"
Well, I find that hard to believe
because everyone's interested in something.
And even if you think it's totally mundane and boring,
I guarantee you that others are into it too.
And out of the 30 million people that visit
this website every month,
I'm sure at least some of those people
will be searching for what you make.
But if you honestly have no idea,
then there's literally a site that tells you
what's growing in popularity on Redbubble week by week.
And guess what?
It's free too, link in the description,
alongside a video how to use it.
"Okay, think I've got it."
"Use these free sites to create designs based on things
that are already popular,
so that there's a market ready to buy my creations."
"But what's the third step?"
I'm glad you asked my friend.
The third step is consistency.
Because you can't just upload one design
and wait for the cash to start flowing.
Don't just stop at one.
Repeat the process.
The beauty of print on demand
is that whatever you make will stay on the site
waiting to be sold for months and years to come.
In the meantime, you'll improve with each upload
because you'll learn how Redbubble works
and how to make better designs.
You'll understand the algorithm, the tagging system
and what your target demographic buys.
Incidentally, I've got videos about all those things,
which I'll link in the description
if you want to learn more.
Now, here's a bit about the other sites that I promised.
If you're comfortable with Redbubble
and you want something more,
then my next best recommendation
is Merch by Amazon.
Yep, Amazon expanded into print on demand years ago
and their audience is gigantic.
So there's more opportunity for sales on that platform.
I've got entire videos about this tricky beast of a site
because not only is it hard to get into,
but the customer base is totally different.
See the description for more information.
Next in line is Etsy, which again isn't technically
a print on demand site, but you can make it work
as one really easily.
You will literally triple the amount
of profit you get from each sale in the process.
I promise I'm serious.
I've got a video about how to do that too.
And the reason I recommend Redbubble over Etsy
is because it's so much easier for beginners.
On Etsy, you've got to do your own customer service,
which can be difficult.
And it's not as user-friendly,
which is why I say stick to Redbubble
if you are just starting out and expand later
when you've got that figured out.
My time's up now, so I just wanted to take this opportunity
to shout out all the members of Passive Ethics,
which is the charity fundraising group
that I set up recently, especially the following people
who joined at the top tier.
See the description for details
if you've got no idea what I'm talking about.
