All right. Welcome to my RedBubble strategy part three video. In this video I'm going to show you a
strategy or strategies. I'm going to be using this month to increase my sales at RedBubble. So these
are the ones that I'm going to use in September to make more money or hopefully make more sales
than I did last month. And stay till the end so you can see exactly what I what I'm doing. I'll
show you exactly what design that i'm uploading and stay to the end as well i'm gonna add i'm
gonna show you another trend credits but before we start for those that are new my name is juna

notification bell as well so you'll be notified of the new videos i try to do at least three a week
sometimes more so that's it about my channel let's get into this redbubble strategy part
three so if you've been following me and my channel you know that i already have part one
go ahead and watch that and part two they're not in any particular order you don't have to watch
them in order but um i do have a strategy that i'm following that i'm showing you so
you can watch them in any order and hopefully they're really helpful so this is the order
that i'm doing these are my goals for september i the first one talked about adding more funny food
shirts in part one and part two i talked about adding big ticket items and adding patterns
to those big ticket items so this week or this video i'm going to be talking about add more
halloween designs so if you went to and saw one of my other videos i did with ryan hogue i did
talk about halloween trends but that's mostly for merch by amazon i believe it's actually different
for redbubble and i'll show you why let's go into redbubble i'll go on the internet right now and
log into redbubble and i'll show you what i mean so here i am on redbubble i typed in halloween
just so you know i'll do it again halloween search i think you'll reload maybe halloween designs
let's do that and actually i'll just do halloween again just so you can see this is live
okay so there it is halloween we'll scroll down and see what comes up for halloween on redbubble
as i search it right and this is most relevant so we want to look at that too um just because that's
when people search for halloween stuff they're probably typing halloween shirts or halloween
stickers you can see here not a lot of costumes like i mentioned in the video for merch by amazon
these are more artwork and stuff and patterns and bags and shirts like nice cool stickers a
lot of people aren't coming here to get t-shirt costumes for halloween like they are on merch
by amazon let me type in or go to here this is where i'm going to see best selling halloween
things on redbubble just so we can get an idea you can see it going masks stickers shirts pillows but
you can see um there's a lot of skeletons a lot of ghosts we got some cats here a cat and a ghost
bats nice artwork ghosts here's another cat skeleton so ghosts seem to do really well
um i'm seeing cats a lot too there's another cat so my thing what i'm gonna try and do and
skeletons might be good too but i'm gonna just pick a couple right now um i'm gonna do cats
and girls i'm gonna try and do a mashup that's gonna be my first idea i'm gonna sketch it out and
draw it out and see what i come up with trying to mash up um cats and ghosts let me do another thing
let me since i'm on the internet right now this is kind of what i do for brainstorming i do cat
ghost since i'm gonna do that uh puns are funny let's do puns i love puns puns do well
on redbubble they love funny things so let's see what comes up here i like to go to images
because they're more visual so let's see we got this paranormal captivity that's pretty cool
oh captivity boo yeah that's not really a cat thing feline like it's halloween that's pretty
good i like that um beautiful school spirit so the first thing i'm going to do is try and come up
with a funny cat pun if i see one here i like this oh this is kind of cool you're freaking me out
going to meow so i'm going to play off of that i'm going to draw something real quick and come
back to you and show you what i got all right so here we are in affinity designer i drew this
real simple cat you can see let me zoom in here so it's just got like a shape of a ghost right here
and then the top part is more like a cat so we got some ears and eyes the eyes are closed
i got the nose here this kind of shape for the mouth for a cat real simple on the whiskers here
like this didn't take very long so you can see it's just a real simple sketch that's what i
start off with i like to do with just in pencil and i scan it in and i'm here in affinity designer
and i'm going to just use the pen tool you know and kind of trace it out first you've seen some
videos where i do that and just take it go around i'm not going to show you the whole thing because
that might take a little while i'm going to i've already done it so i'm going to scroll over here
and you can see right here this is kind of what i came up with real simple right i just took the
pen tool like i said and outlined it i colored it let me go into here i colored it pink i put
some pause on it real simple you can use the um you know oval tool heart shape tool real easy
or draw it and then i'm using this freaking me out right here i have this in other videos but
basically if you draw an oval here and use the type tool you can start typing you know oh sorry
that's in white you can't see it i can start typing on a path so that's what i did here this
font is called velken you can see right here it's kind of a rounded font which i'm using because
this is more playful this cat's more playful they have rounded edges all my edges around it so i
thought i used the font i used this font before with my artwork it look it works really well so
once i do that um i also like to make a black version so right here or a version that works
on a black shirt because a lot of people love to buy dark shirts so not only on white shirts
but dark shirts i just reverse the text here in white i put a white outline around the
design so that it can stand out otherwise it would be black on black and you won't be able
to see it so a white outline here that's real easy to do too i might do a video on that later
and then i also thought stickers do really well so this is just a cat ghost without any words which
i think would make a really good sticker and i'll show you how that looks like in redbubble
so you can see i already have three designs so the next thing i did was you notice that on
redbubble a lot of the masks and other things they had patterns so i thought i would make a
pattern out of this ghost cap that i already did so right here i started drawing we have the ghost
cat um without the black outline i took that out because that would work really well just on black
i i did a paw print kind of a similar to the paw print on here because it matches with cat
i took that freaking me out here instead of having it separated i put it together and also had i
thought bones would be funny like a skeleton and cats like fish so i thought fish bones would play
well with that i did some dots and some stars just to add more and so taking those things
i just started moving them around kind of tilting them you can see this is all still vector i can
move things around like this and just place it and start to make a pattern and you can see here this
is a bigger pattern i'm going to zoom out here zoom out so you can start using objects to just
make a pattern in an affinity designer as well i did it manually i i didn't do i just started
copying and pasting and moving things around but you can see it kind of repeats right it's not a
non-repeatable pattern like i did with another video these this pattern does repeat but it has
just using those you know one two three four five six seven maybe ten objects using that again kind
of turning some of them the other way flipping them or whatever and kind of creating this pattern
and i'm going to use this pattern to put on mass and i can use it for other things like i showed in
part two where i can put it on different products so now i'm going to show you how these look
in red bubble and what they look like on different products and red bubbles so you can see exactly my
process on what i'm putting into redbubble and hopefully get a few sales for halloween
here we are in red bubble again i'm going to show you just first the the cat by itself the ghost
cat i'm calling it you can see i put it on some leggings where you can do just the repeat pattern
with red bubble by itself so you can i repeated it on there this is acrylic block
coasters i thought it would look good on a mask and stickers i think it works really well it has
that um white outline already redbubble gives that outline on stickers i think it would make a really
cute sticker so i'm going with that so next is the ghost cat with the words freaking me out
so i put it on a few more things this works well on a shirt i feel like it works really good on the
white shirt i put on some cases canvas prints not sure if those will sell but i'm still putting on
there i think it works there pillows bags masks i think that would work really well there and
stickers so the stickers also work has that white outline already with the gift cards and stuff so i
think that's working on that so for my next design you can see this is the same thing as before but
this time it's on black i reversed out the text like i said earlier and this works great on darker
shirts you can also put them on dark products so here's on posters canvas prints wall art pillows
so on this i did not do in stickers because if the stickers are already white i would have to
draw an outline around this i could do it as a black sticker but i didn't do it
it takes a little bit more work to do that because redbubble actually puts a white outline so it
would be a white text and then i'd have to put the black and then get the white outline i it
doesn't look that great it works better the other way so i didn't put it on stickers all right so i
saved this one for last this is the pattern that i showed you in affinity designer so you can see
how many products i can put this on now so i've put it on the a-line dress leggings mini skirt
cases and skins for phones it goes on pillows clocks blocks and which is really cool right here
not sure how many will buy it but duvet covers and comforters throw blankets so you can see all
these work really well as well as the bags scarves tote bags and you can see socks and masks too so
and of course the the books too so lots and lots of products that work with uh patterns so
if you can do a pattern with your design i would encourage you to do that as well just to give you
a little more edge on on products that you could sell potentially so you saw when we looked at
when i searched on halloween how many of them were patterned and some of them were designed so just
to give yourself you know when people are looking for halloween designs just to give yourself a
little more edge to do that so you can see just with one design i did today this is the ghost cat
i got four things i got just the ghost cat by itself i got the regular freaking me out and the
reverse freaking me out and i also got the pattern so i'm going to continue my plan is to continue to
do more and more artwork for halloween as well and do kind of the same thing do uh some kind of funny
saying and then put it in a pattern as well and just keep adding more and more of those hopefully
um people are looking for halloween things and seeing these and buy it before halloween
halloween's coming up really quick so i'm gonna have to hurry and make sure i put that in that is
it for part three guys for my redbubble strategy for this month hopefully that will help me for for
sales for this month and it will be more than what i made last month um if you like this video make
sure to give it a thumbs up make sure to like it and don't forget if you're not subscribed
already to subscribe to my channel and don't forget to stay to the end for trend credits
all right thanks for staying till the end for this edition of trend credits since this video is about
cats and halloween i thought i'd do a halloween cat kind of trend so here again these trends are
just for amazon it may work on redbubble but these trends are mainly for amazon because
i'm looking on amazon to find the the trend so this trend is cat with knife t-shirt you can see
when i do it in autocomplete it pulls up so that's a good thing and then there's it says it's only
115 results i don't know how true that is but that's very low if that's right you can see most
of them say what what what and so almost all of them but look at the bsrs on here this one's 80
163 61. i'm not saying to use the word what i think
you could use other things look for a cat pun or a halloween pun that would work well
i think you would actually stand out more when somebody's saying this cat with knife shirt and
looking for yours if everybody else says what in yours has something else to offer that's better
you you could probably do a lot better here and draw your cat differently than this of course
i'm not saying to copy that but halloween just having a scary cat maybe with a knife or something
maybe not for kids this could just be for those might be too curious scary for kids but you get
the idea they're doing really good bsrs a lot of these so just have fun with this one and of course
you want to check merch and former this is the competition checker if you don't have merchant
former i have a link in the description for 20 off of this but you can see when i do cat with knife
here in merchant former it's getting an a and you can see all of these are getting pulled up this
one's getting 32 sales or so you can see these are really hot it's getting closer and closer
to halloween and that's definitely a halloween t-shirt so you can see this is the trend for today
