day for eight days and i've got a great
print on demand facebook group if you'd
like to join i would love to have you
there all right let's go on over to
redbubble all right shop number one is
bollywood ken
and i will say i've noticed bollywood
designs and niches trending
on redbubble uh via using the bubble
scout chrome extension in the past so um
let's see what's going on i'm not really
sure what the intellectual properties
rules are when it comes to bollywood but
i imagine it would probably be similar
to what you'd expect with the
united states and whatnot uh
there's some definitely like adult
content i don't know if you guys read
the
names of those products that are like
censored up at the top in his featured
collection but um definitely some adult
sounding content here um i don't
necessarily understand the kind of
language that's going on behind but i
will say one thing i note if we don't
look at the niches is that they're
selling a lot of stickers and a lot of
shirts and those are my two preferred
products as primary products
to sell on redbubble a lot of mature
content in this shop though
geez but it's all you know kind of
featured towards the top of the shop
which i think tends to indicate that
they are um you know selling so um
congrats on the sales i'm assuming you
probably made some i mean it could also
just be random like if you have no sales
something's gonna show up at the top but
um
yeah i mean it's funny because i did do
some reading some niche research you
know the other day and i saw a lot of
the bollywood stuff trending and now i
recognize some of these words
i do like your design style good use of
color contrast good use of graphics um
i do think you know you're doing a good
job as far as your design style for sure
and i wish i could see like your sales
but i'm guessing that either
this is like a niche that you're
passionate about or you know you were
just using maybe bubble scout or other
redbubble research tools to pull um
these keywords but you know i i think at
least you know based on the fact that i
was looking recently and you know you're
probably doing pretty well i know
bollywood sells on redbubble that's
really what i'm trying to say you know
what i mean i've seen it in the top 20
that you can get
just by using the bubble scout chrome
extension for free
google bubble scout chrome extension and
it'll inject a chart at the top of the
page showing you the trends and we know
bollywood does quite well so i think
honestly your shop seems like you do
your niche research you've got good um
color schemes good contrast good design
style like it's easy to read your fonts
so good job shop number two jody with
the zero
join july 2020 35 designs let's see
what's going on you don't have a
featured collection
um you got a lot of stickers though
you've got
a lot of stickers actually all right i
like the stickers but your pricing
though check out the pricing from 1.29
dollar 59 i would uh increase your
sticker pricing there's no harm done
there
this was a short shop to review because
you only have 35 designs
i would keep pushing products to
redbubble especially um i'm doing you
know
you can definitely yeah you could
definitely like use an uploader like
maybe merge titan's upload automation
i've got a tutorial on my channel and it
makes it very easy to queue up automated
uploads and fill up your shop because 35
designs you're not doing yourself many
favors with so few designs
shop number three why does this look
familiar i swear we've seen that
background before doesn't it feel like i
don't know for some reason i feel like
i've reviewed this shop before or maybe
a shop with a similar crazy colorful
cool shape background but that
background is pretty sweet
maven designer joined june 2020 161
designs so definitely there's time to
get more designs up than just 161 in
basically two years so hopefully you
will continue to upload to redbubble
some of these designs do not look like
you probably created them i'm going to
venture a guess that maybe you like
pulled them from google images or maybe
from canva you know don't some of these
look like they're from canva this is
like cute bees but
that one sticker to me looks like it's
from maybe place it or canva but like
one of those websites where you can kind
of access um pre-made graphics
uh
you know you've got like some halloween
stuff
which is interesting okay maybe you
joined in june and you published designs
through october and then you gave up or
something
um just guessing you know what i mean
but uh
let's see a lot of fairies
a lot of
squid game stuff which i mean that's
grounds for getting your account closed
too so i'm surprised that they still
allow that
on redbubble um redbubble is just the
wild west it really is all right so i
would say you know come back to
redbubble um when you upload your
products set your primary
thumbnail uh because just like some of
the you know the first shop we reviewed
it was like t-shirts stickers and it
looked great you know what i mean but if
you let redbubble kind of decide what to
place your designs on um
you're gonna get some good and some bad
right also if you're gonna design for
t-shirts i always like to mention like
you should optimize your designs to
be placed towards the top of the
canvas um because when it's just like in
the middle vertically it's just kind of
like awkwardly sitting on people's
chests
and you tend not to see i mean it's not
that it couldn't be a thing but like
it's it's definitely a minority of
people that wear their designs that want
to wear a shirt where the design is like
sitting really low on the chest it's
just weird all right shop number four
retro maggie
from the united states 81 designs i like
your your
wallpaper there the likes what is that
60s 70s era um you know psychedelic
colors on the flowers but only 81
designs so that's not cool i gotta get
some more designs up featured collection
turquoise all right so they're doing
collections by color that's actually
really cool so you've got a turquoise
collection you've got aqua purple pink
teal and green i mean that looks really
cool
not gonna lie
um your shop honestly looks like
it looks like we're going to like a home
like furniture store i mean i don't know
i don't really go shopping like that but
i feel like i'm walking into like an
ikea or like whatever like the the
fashion side of maybe like a more
fashionable higher end ikea maybe like a
restoration hardware i don't know um
going into some sort of a store i'm an
idiot i don't know i
if i need something i just like buy it
online and it shows up at the door and
that's how i get so much done in a day
because i don't really spend too much
time
doing other stuff i mean i do stuff
that's important to me but going
shopping to me is not uh it's not not
that high on my list just saying um plus
i mean who needs to go shopping when
you've got retro uh
retro maggie's shop on redbubble if you
need any um throw pillows
floor pillows uh bed sheets shower
curtains well it looks like she's got
you covered um the only thing is
you know i always i always wonder i
can't help but wonder
who goes to redbubble and types in 1970s
vince vintage retro hippie boho orange
peach yellow peace sign daisies
you know what i mean i think your design
is good
but i think your keyword strategy for
redbubble
may not be optimal um that is that is my
those are my thoughts all right i think
maybe you should hone in on a shorter
more direct
set of keywords that is basically equal
to what somebody would search
and most searches are either one to two
words
most searches
are shorter not longer
um doesn't mean you can't get away with
long tail keywords and make that work
but i wouldn't stack multiple sets of
keywords in redbubble i think their
algorithm is uh easily confused so i
would just give it like a layup say hey
when someone searches for 1970s vintage
boho
and it's going to add the word comforter
they'll know that they're looking about
they're they're talking about your
comforter
all right shop number five is trendy bkc
damn this is not what is up with this
episode of shop reviews 35 designs
everybody's slacking in this episode man
trendy bkc joined march 2021
35 designs i mean you can basically
double that in a day you know just i
think you get 60 a day just upload all
um as many as you can
alright so you got some stickers um this
is what it looks like when you
do not have a design optimized for
stickers you get white text on a white
background so nobody will ever buy that
bunny rabbit loaf sticker because you
know have no clue what it says if you're
going for stickers guys definitely take
more of this approach where you have
black text
uh knowing that it'll be kind of
outlined in the mock-up and in the
actual print um even though there is
like a what is it is it matte no it's
like transparent just called transparent
um option as well for the stickers who
who people for people who don't want the
like white outline you can make it clear
redbubble can make it clear
so you've got a lot of stickers i mean
at least you've got that
uh i would continue to you know just
upload even if you just want to have a
shop dedicated to selling stickers and i
would increase your prices as well so
that it's worth your time also the daft
punk while everybody loves daft punk
you know you may want to uh delete this
design so that you don't get in trouble
with redbubble
or worse i mean they you know in theory
if you infringe on their ip they could
take you to court i mean they probably
take red bubble to court instead of you
remember i've done videos on that by the
way i think i have like two videos on my
channel
where red bubble had to go to court one
was hell's angels
it might have been both hell's angels
honestly anyways um rich history of uh
redbubble and ip infringement issues if
you go looking down that rabbit hole
all right last shop
mo the third
and he's from lafayette united states
283 designs i like his banner by the way
uh he's got like a juneteenth promo he
says custom designs and mods available
so you know on redbubble there's a thing
called bubble mail
people can reach out to you and if they
have a customization request i mean if
you monitor your bubble mail
you know which you should do you can
work with them and you know upsell them
on a customization i mean it's it's more
likely to happen on etsy i would guess
just based on personal experience
but that being said you know it can
happen on redbubble just as well um but
etsy's uh to me a more mature
marketplace you know it's just my
personal thoughts
all right so featured collection
photography it looks like you've got
some really nice looking um
photographs as well i mean i'm
definitely
not the photographer when i need
photographs i go to pixels i just go
here and because people upload them
under the creative commons zero license
so you know this is where i go for my
photographs that's why i'm very ignorant
to how to take a good photo and then i
don't know if you need to do like
post-production or not i don't know if
that's common but um looks like you know
what you're doing so well done
i would probably
recommend like
instead of having these just shown on
stickers i would say like
take a a note from um alex strombu on
youtube who i've interviewed in the past
uh she did really really well on
redbubble by being one of the like early
uploaders of her photographs but then
also was like strategically putting them
on products that really showed her
photographs well
and if you do things like comforters for
instance you make quite quite
quite a bit of money per sale all right
and if you're doing really well
and you're making money while
redbubble's making money with you and
then their algorithm is more likely to
advertise your listing you see what i'm
doing there if it's converting well and
there's nice margins redbubble will also
advertise them for you
and it creates this flywheel effect
alright if you don't believe me go check
out my interview with alex strombou
because she did it with her photographs
all right so if she can do it hey we can
do it right that's that's kind of how i
feel about life in general like hey i
see other people doing it you know and
that makes me inspired you know if i if
i choose to go try to do something i'm
like okay well at least we know it can
be done right
um so
all about that you can definitely be
successful in redbubble with with
photographs looks like you're really
optimized for stickers though and if
you're going to do this no worries i
mean definitely do what you want to do
um i would maybe increase your prices
from 1.50 to 1.99 even 299. um people
don't think twice about
paying you know a couple bucks for a
sticker so i if they like your work um
you know
get get paid right we're doing this to
make a profit um but anyways i like that
i like that you're doing a lot of
photography you've got some graphic
design as well honestly
i'm doing a quick scroll through your
stuff
i think your photograph stuff is better
than a lot of your design stuff maybe
not all of it but i mean generally
speaking i think you know your
photograph stuff is if i had to guess
you know you can always improve your
design approach too but um i think your
photograph stuff is definitely uh
what stands out to me as i scroll
through your shop um anyways i would
continue to upload 283 designs that's
great you know keep pushing guys um but
yeah guys how about that for our episode
