facebook group if you guys would like to
join i'd love to have you all right shop
number one is the overthinker from
uh chemigon india all right and i know i
butchered that so apologies if you're
from there but um let's see 154 designs
got a featured collection best artworks
and this is actually pretty cool if this
is like original artwork that you're
doing uh then you know credit to you i
think that's really awesome
um is this like watercolor or something
looks like you're painting these uh like
kind of robotic transhumanist
type designs
and i guess you know one thing that i'm
going to recommend right away is
don't include words like artsy
or fictional character you know what i
mean you got to actually
assign keywords that people are
searching for and i doubt many people
come to redbubble and type in like artsy
fictional character you know what i mean
like this is
when i looked at it like i said i said
like robot you know transhumanist robot
or you know dystopian future type deal
um whatever you want to call it you know
you're the artist so assign some words
to it that you think people will
actually look for so that redbubble can
put it in front of the right people you
know the buyers uh you got some sticker
packs you know i love that
um face mask it looks like you're just
letting redbubble pick what is what
product is best to display on
so you know you don't always want to do
that because they can get stuff wrong
you know like for instance this one
right here this shirt
you've got almost like a solid full um
i don't know what to call it like design
canvas with a background color on on on
a black shirt which you can see where
the design ends and the shirt starts and
i don't think that looks very good i
don't think it converts very well
um one thing i'll compliment you on is
your pricing at least on the t-shirts
getting over 20 bucks per per shirt but
you need to
increase your pricing on your stickers
that is something i would recommend you
know a dollar 29 for stickers is not
going to work
so yeah so there's that and then also
you know generic like just solid color
um products is not exactly a oh okay
there is something there um but you see
what i'm saying you didn't choose your
your default mock-up so redbubble's
putting it on a duffel bag and you can't
even see the design on the main mock-up
so
got some improvements to make also you
need to list some more products of
course some more designs
all right let's see i love your
background image there you're
highlighting some of your i'm assuming
like either favorite or best-selling
designs you've got your
email address up there which i'm sure
probably goes against red bubble policy
but uh i doubt they're ever gonna find
you so i mean hey if you're willing to
put your email outdoor out there like
that then hey why not
rochester brad from rochester united
states 269 designs
let's see you got your featured
collection viva las vegas all right i
like that hey why not right and
honestly it if this was like on etsy
maybe
that could actually work really well you
know because you're gonna get indexed by
google and you know etsy gets a lot of
traffic i just don't have a lot of faith
in the redbubble search algorithm um
when we you know provide too many words
i think it confuses the redbubble
algorithm personally
we also know that it has to police such
a massive number of submissions that
i always just try to be very concise
and use like you know refined selected
you know intentional
keywords and not not include like five
six seven keywords but i do like this
idea um i'm tempted to click the mature
content but since we're on youtube here
i will not do that
but yeah it looks oh man that's cool so
i mean i don't know how these are
actually going to print
generally speaking it's not going to end
well
when you do things like you know add a
glow effect to a design it's not really
a best practice
but it does look cool on my computer
screen you know i just think that's
going to probably result in a return if
somebody bought it so just just throwing
that out there
this style of design by the way i mean
you guys already know my subscribers my
loyal subscribers on youtube you already
know that this this works
all right so when i see somebody
designing like this i'm like okay you
know they know that at least like this
formula exists for a reason because
customers are clicking it and purchasing
it and it's not like the only way to to
get designs done
but um
you know if you don't necessarily if
you're not feeling inspiration to go
another way well you've always got this
to fall back on where you got some text
you got your little sunset graphic and
then you got more text i'm not trying to
be the sunset forever guy but like this
is still working for me you know the day
it stops working i'll let you know but
um it's still making me regular sales so
i do like to see it also of course you
can do
um large you know white text on a black
shirt you know leverage the contrast
there and hey be the cryptid you want to
see in the world right be the x you want
to see in the world where x you can just
swap that piece of text out and you can
make a bunch of different designs from
one template of course it's also
text only which means you kept it simple
and you didn't overthink things and i
mean that's honestly
you know i see a lot of designs guys
um so when i
see people doing too much and it's
working against them i'm like man you
could have just done a little you know
and done
again just just for an example here just
done text only
you know in in less than half the time
and probably put yourself in a better
spot to make more sales so don't be
afraid to do something like this it may
not look impressive you probably
wouldn't you know
i don't know brag to your friends about
it but like hey online if someone sees
it there
some people just want text
all right so here we go number three a
vaulter six a vaulter yeah i don't know
um from saudi arabia 279 designs i do
like your shop by the way that's really
cool i'm still trying to figure out what
a vaulter is but um you know maybe i'll
figure it out if you know in the
comments below let me know uh featured
collection new year so it looks like you
haven't updated your shop in a while i
would recommend doing that your designs
aren't that bad though um you can kind
of tell when the designs aren't going to
print too well though like check this
out here with the fireworks
probably yeah that doesn't look great um
just being just keeping it real here
being honest also i hate overlaying text
on like complex graphics in the
background
um overlaying text in general it's not
like if you know if you aren't sure it's
gonna work i just wouldn't do it
personally as a rule of thumb
uh looks like you've got some pretty
generic kind of designs going on here
um some of them are a little bit too
busy some of them are spaced a little
weird
like you know what i mean you've got
some that are like super busy like check
out some of these
while like the reason i'm pointing it
out is because like these aren't bad
graphics i think they're good graphics
but
there's just like too much happening you
know you've got like a whole story book
in there like a whole story line
um
and then again it's kind of like when i
see designs like this i call this
designing for the internet instead of
designing for t-shirts so i think
you may want to take a tip from the
previous shop uh and don't be afraid to
list some just text only designs but
like even how you're doing this i got to
point it out real quick
uh like adding a stroke to this to this
design i don't think it was necessary
you know like that's what i do on a
website
or like a graphic for a website you know
what i mean um you don't need to do that
for print on demand i'm not trying to be
like the design critique here but like
it just looks
doesn't look right it doesn't look right
on a graphic t-shirt in my mind and then
here you've got like a gradient going on
and bevel and emboss and a stroke
i just think it's gonna look better
without all that extra stuff you know
sometimes you just pick a good font
pick a good color done move on don't
overthink it
all right shop number four is neural
hoda from
perba bardaham india and i apologize for
butchering names all right sticker packs
hey there we go
alright some sticker packs here they
look pretty good and guys sometimes a
sticker pack
shout out yo shout out to to
to neural
all right and i'm sorry if i
mispronounced your name as well but like
shout out here all right because look
sometimes you take a good graphic
and then you just duplicate it four or
five times
and you've got a pack of stickers it
doesn't have to be complicated like it
can literally be this simple if you let
it be simple all right and um i'm really
i mean honestly we should just just stop
and have a moment of silence i'm liking
what i'm seeing here with the sticker
packs i mean i definitely would increase
prices but that's just me you know i
want my pricing to be
uh at least you know 100
profit margin which on stickers i'm
usually doing 150 200 even i know people
do that and they get away with it but i
really like the way your sticker packs
work also i mean it's like honestly just
letting redbubble give you an assist
because redbubble we know does a pretty
good job rendering thumbnails of
stickers they do a pretty crappy job
rendering thumbnails of a lot of other
types of products so benefit from
knowing that
yeah you're mixing in t-shirts you're
mixing in masks you're mixing in
stickers
i think you're doing a great job so you
know shout out to um to this shop
shop number five is i heart la i heart
la la so you you heart law
times two
from lis united kingdom 107 designs all
right so you love the la la i don't know
what that means i keep saying it to
myself trying to figure out like maybe
you're a lo i was like a lawyer but
you liked the law that much that you had
to say it twice i don't know
and you've got some work to do all right
because you only have 107 designs and it
looks like you already ran out of ideas
or maybe this is like some crazy
uh
okay i guess maybe i get it so they're
all themed where it's like a dinosaur on
a letter of the alphabet and i guess as
long as somebody finds your redbubble
shop this may work
and if you get people that want to go to
like the stands in a big soccer match or
something and wear these shirts uh maybe
that'll work but um otherwise like i
don't know
this could be tough but uh
another thing i i would definitely tell
redbubble to display it on whatever
product you think is correct like they
looks beautiful on stickers but what's
the likelihood of people buying this on
a sticker i'm thinking that it giant
letters are typically for people to wear
on shirts right so i would probably
prioritize that
all right last shop shop number six is
4c
joined february 2021 195 designs you've
got you know some t-shirts up at the top
and then you've got a girl in a bikini
so kind of catches your eye right away
um even though i don't think redbubble
sells bikinis do they uh anyways sticker
packs all right i like that again we got
more sticker packs on the featured
collections now
i'm just being honest you know if i had
to pick between shop number five and
shop number six i think the previous
shop did a better job or no it wasn't
five was it it was four um but i think
that he did a better job the previous
one with the sticker packs
if i had to you know pick one um
i just think that like these aren't
rendering as well like i think this the
anchors look great and the rest are
um well i mean they're not too bad but i
think you can still make them a little
bit better like if that initial
uh glimpse at your product doesn't catch
your eye
then you may not feel compelled to click
it and purchase it whereas the previous
shop we looked at it seemed like they
had blown up the graphics and spaced
them out really well to where it looked
like a nice value proposition at least i
was getting that vibe when i when i
initially saw them so maybe use the
previous one as inspiration here
and i would increase your pricing as
well just so that you mean because
you're making like pennies on on each
sale i don't think it's worth it
uh i'm not against this approach
especially on redbubble where it's like
hey you know throw a lot at the wall see
what sticks like you're just adding
color overlays and um clipping masks to
your anchor graphic and then uploading
them as separate listings of course
you know maybe be a little bit more
strategic with your keyword choice
because i don't think many people go to
redbubble and type in red space motif
nautical anchor right
unless i'm wrong but i don't think many
people do that all right um maybe just
put like
red anchor
you get what i'm saying red anchor i
think there's a much higher likelihood
of someone typing in red anchor then red
space motif nautical anchor
i could be wrong though but i mean come
on
um pink space motif natal clanker you
get the point right uh just keep it
simple it's almost like the red bubble
algorithms the special one that doesn't
have as you know it's failing behind the
amazon algorithm the google algorithm
the etsy algorithm it's it's struggling
to keep up keep pace so give it an
assist with
simpler keywords
um but yeah i think your designs are
actually pretty good on t-shirts as well
and that's always what i'd prioritize on
redbubble t-shirts stickers keep it
simple we know it works a lot of sailing
shirts on here i'm guessing you own a
sailboat so props to you
you are you out there on the seas like
wearing your own shirts
um pretty cool though all right i think
