In this video I'm going to give you five tips,
five ideas to create designs that more people want to buy. These five tips will
help you get your design to stand out and hopefully get more sales. Let's go!!
Thanks for joining me on this video. My name Is Juna with Detour Shirts. I've been designing and
selling T-shirts online since 2005 and over those years I figured out some tips that could help you
create designs that more people want to buy. so these are five tips that I use a lot of times and
these are tips that you can use after you've found your knit so I'm not going to tell you what Niche
to design for you have to go and find that first but once you find that once you've niched down you
can use these techniques and if you can't find a niche if you don't know what Niche to do I have
this holiday Niche you can start here holiday t-shirt niches I have it on my site if you want
to use that but I would suggest doing the research and finding a good Niche that's not very saturated
but still something that people want to buy so find that small Niche and then when you have
those then these use these tips to design it so what I'm going to show you in this video video is
I'm going to show you the top selling T-shirts on Redbubble tea public and merch by Amazon and see
if these tips that I'm going to share with you coordinate with those top selling ones now I'm
not showing you these so that you can copy them I'm just showing you these as an example of what
the top sellers are doing and they kind of do the same thing that I I've seen and that I'm going to
teach you here so let's get into the internet and I'll show you that and I'll start with number one
and go through number five all right so here we are on the internet I'm on pretty merch Pro Plus
on Amazon merch on demand I have this tab right here if you have pretty much Pro Plus you can see
these These are the top selling designs right now on Amazon for Merch by Amazon or what's called now
merch on demand Amazon merch on demand so they're in order of you know top selling to down and then
I have here Redbubble best-selling t-shirts I feel like they just recently updated this because
I don't remember this guy here the Star Wars shop maybe that's new but a lot of these look similar
to to what we do but they're still going to work what we're doing and then T public kind of updates
there and and I know there's a lot of you know copyright stuff on here but we're just gonna use
these as examples I'm not saying to do copyright material but we're going to show you I'm going to
show you what they are so first things first the first tip that I want to share with you is humor
so if you found your Niche let's say your Niche is basketball of course that's too big of a niche
but let's just say it's basketball you do funny sayings for basketball I do a funny graphic for
basketball let's look at to see if there's any funny t-shirts on here in the top sellers first
one that's funny right I'm not old I'm classic Pluto never forget kind of funny admit it life
would be like all of these most of these are funny t-shirts right if they're not funny they're doing
something else and we're going to touch on some of those but you can see a lot of these have
humor related to it right so you can see that is a huge thing funny t-shirts sell on Amazon and on
T public and on Redbubble so let's go to Redbubble you can see which one of these is funny right here
right it's funny uh let's see great Ramen that's kind of funny let's see uh Bodacious period funny
right uh what is this street cats support your local Street Cats these are funny don't talk to
strangers um seal of approval it's upon puns are funny so think of it doesn't have to be a phrase
it can be a graphic that's funny you can see these are kind of funny this has no words but it's a
sloth on a turtle and that's funny right so lots of funny designs on Redbubble this is probably one
you'll already know if you've been in the print on demand business you know funny t-shirt sale so you
can see here Hotel California this this is just a funny graphic again with the Muppets you know
funny ideas so funny is a huge one if you find your Niche once you find your knit so let's say
like I said basketball think of funny Graphics or funny phrases now you can do this with any Niche
you can see these are lots of different niches that have funny humor t-shirts on it so that's
a big obvious one that's why I made it first uh humor use humor use funny sayings that kind of
thing so number one is funny so my number two tip is to be unique or original so some of these it's
hard to tell which ones are unique but I'm gonna guess this one right here this is very unique I
haven't seen anything like this before with the tree and the moons and you know this all so they
made something very unique with the colors and everything let's see if we can find something else
that's very new this one right here Cottage core Cottage core is huge but this one is very unique
with the frog playing a banjo and things like that this one right here Japanese Tokyo if we did a
search for Dragon Japanese you can see they made their very unique by doing different things on
here so unique is a way to stand out especially if you're going in a niche that already has designs
on there you're going to want to make yours unique so that yours stands out when everybody else is
copying each other and yours is unique yours is going to stand out from the crowd right so let's
take a look on Redbubble again very unique a lot of these big Brands they do their own thing right
um You can see here very unique the concept is unique this concept of the Dragon in the ocean
from illustrata very unique right right here uh LP with the thing is very unique of course this
one we talked about uh Steven Rose has his own brand his own style which is unique to him right
so as you build Brands as you think of what to do try and make yours unique different than what's
already out there look at the competition and see what they're doing and don't do that do you
know pivot and do something else so let's look at T public again um we got some things that
are unique right like this Stephen Rhodes again again this is Muppets but you can see the the
unique style of it so some some very unique stuff some some things aren't unique but then you have
some right here that definitely unique right they kind of put these kind of things together so have
fun with that uh unique is very important if you want to stand out and make sales especially again
like I said if you're in a niche a competitive Niche you're going to want to make yours and you
can match these together you can make yours funny and unique together so you don't have to do one
or the other you can kind of put them together so have fun with this tip make your designs unique to
have it stand out and get more sales so tip number three is to do mashup so mashup is a really easy
way to make yours unique so if you have one thing and another thing and you put them together like
nobody else has done then yours will be unique because yours is a unique mashup right so let's
see if there are any mashups right here you can see cat eating Ramen you're you're doing the ramen
Niche and the cat Niche together it's a mashup cat drinking Boba you got the bobones and the
cat drinking Boba right cat and sunflower right it's a mashup let's see um you got you got the
cat Niche and the tarot cards right right here and you got uh the mom and the dinosaur Niche right so
lots of things um doing mashups together here so you can see a lot of funny stuff as well but a lot
of mashups so let's check Redbubble let's see if there's any mashups of course there are right uh
of course you got the ramen and the Japanese thing you got this again is kind of a mashup of outdoors
in the record let's scroll down let's scroll down because we haven't done these down here so again
so you got this mashup of a kind of a samurai or sword with a cat right so then we got this
mash up here of space and foxes right you got this mashup of a cat being a DJ right uh let's see on
T public any mashups here well you got the mashup again this is copyright but you got the mashup of
outdoors and Hawkins so this is a mashup down here of Godzilla and the way the Japanese wave
let's see kind of some kind of vintage color and you know helmet kind of a mashup of Wu-Tang and
Care Bears even though you shouldn't be doing that but you can see they're doing the mashups right if
we go page two let's see if there's any mashups so here we got the mashup of a dinosaur and the
the claws right so lots of mashup things here as well so you can just see a bunch of mashup things
um kind of 80s and dinosaurs right so that's a mashup so mashups is a great way for you to
you know kind of be unique and stand out so if you're stuck and don't know what to design try
a mashup and you don't always have to do a mashup but a mashup could be something that can help you
stand out and make it you make your design unique so tip number four is to give your design some
personality and that can be with the eyes that can be with the graphic that can be you know
with some funny words we already know funny is an emotion it can give you personality but let's
look at some of these other ones you can see here this one has uses the eyes right kind of gives it
personality this one you can see is kind of the personality here it is just kind of relaxed right
uh here you can see this one is cute right it's giving it some personality this one right here
is it's like frazzled so you can see that it it also gives some personality so when you're
trying to design stuff it doesn't always have to be animals or cute things but it does help
if you do some things with personality and you can give something personality by adding a little more
details and stuff like that so you can see this one this has some personality of the roughness
right you put some distress texture so that gives it personality there you can see this one also
has a different personality so this one also has a lot of Personality with the shades and the things
so you can see all those details kind of give it just a little bit more personality that you need
or gives your design some emotion right so let's check out Redbubble scrolling up here you can see
um you know gives it some personality or some emotion when you see these kinds of things so
right there just look at this that Fox right there I have some had some personality right and
a lot of these right thing can they when you look at that or look at that I look at that it just and
it has some emotion tied to it so emotion sells t-shirts when people see it they they need to
feel something uh and the personality this right here has a lot of Personality right with the
um chimpanzee or the monkey with the headphones right so uh think about that when you're doing
your design one last one with T public so you can see these people have a lot of Personality
they're funny um this is funny too you can see a lot of this this has its own kind of feel to
it right so think about that try and add it just a little bit more to it than just plain words you're
going to want to add you know some little extra things or you know uh like when you when you're
picking a design for a uh animal just make sure that animal has personality or a face make sure
the face has a personality right again you can't use famous people but I'm just saying a lot of
these have personality you can see with all of these right here they have personality right so
fourth tip when you're designing something is make sure that your designs has personality and gives
some kind of emotion to the buyer when they see it the last tip number five is to give your designs
details just add a little bit more detail so it kind of goes along with what I just said you know
add those little details to make it better so like here you see types of dinosaurs so many details
you got the name of the dinosaurs my dinosaur alphabet right a lot more detail so this one
right here you can see a lot more details with this drawing right here what part of don't you
understand look at all the detail on this right so details can add value to your design now you
got to be careful you don't want to just put all the details but you do details can help like this
one right here you can see little flowers you got the Japanese text and everything let's see
this one right here you can see bubbles everywhere the different colors and then a hand print right
so all the details on it let's look for some other ones I already talked about this with the
details you can see this has details in it with the Stars and everything this one has lots of
details the flag right so so think of the details the little details help your design sell and make
people think that it's a better value because you can it has just a little bit more than the other
ones right so let's check out the details here look at the details on this on illustrata right
they spent lots of time on it and added lots and lots of details on their designs let's see here
again this one has lots of details on it right this one even this one that it's simple lots of
details because there's different line shapes and colors and things like that so the details matter
just having that extra on there you know gives it some variation as well look at the details
here the splatter and the um butterflies right so if you can give your design just a little
bit more details instead of something anybody can do if you're adding more and more details
that's going to give your design some value right so check it out here as well you can see lots of
details they went to do that vintage um texture right and then the detail of it being curved like
this so this one has details with big and small texts right again varying the text the color
the details here of the different kind of rainbow color right and this one has lots of details they
added a beach ball right and some snorkeling thing it didn't have to do that but those details kind
of matter and the colors and everything right so uh think of those things when you're designing
your creating your designs is when you create it now can I add a little bit more details and
will that help so details will help you sell a design help you create something that's unique
and give it personality as well so they all kind of work together in this so let me share with you
all five together okay so here's all five that I talked about to create better designs and stand
out right first humor that's a huge one a funny t-shirt so probably the best out of all of them
it doesn't have to be funny but humor is a good way to go now it it should be unique you don't
want to copy anybody so unique is a great one and one way to be unique is to mash up things right
like I said and then give it person finality and some details those personality and details really
will help sell your design and make your design a little better make it stand out and make people
feel like it's more valuable to them it has more value it's not just the same old thing your ears
has a little bit more details and personality so these five things a good way to remember this is
if you take the first letter on all of these it says h-u-m-p hump and D so hump D I don't know
if that helps or not but I thought it was really funny to to do it in that way so remember hump D
