what's up guys thanks for joining me
today we're doing some Redbubble Shop
reviews we've got six new Redbubble
shops to take a look at and provide
feedback this is episode number 54 and
if you'd like to be featured in a future
episode please use the link in the
description to share the link to your
Redbubble shop it'll take you to my
print on demand Facebook group and you
can drop a link there on that thread all
right let's get right to it
[Music]
real quick reminder I built a free print
on demand mini course if you would like
to take advantage of it all I need is
your email address you can find a link
in the description I'll send you one
lesson a day for eight days and again
completely free also in the description
I've got a link to my print on demand
Facebook group that I hope you'll join
alright let's jump on over to Redbubble
all right the first shop we're reviewing
is drinky merch drinky merch I guess
it's drinky I don't know d-r-e-a-k-y uh
they have 26 designs which is not very
many and then I would say your banner is
also kind of a low resolution image I
would fix that uh two collections you
got some it looks like you're just
pulling images off of uh Google Images
honestly if I had to guess like I doubt
I'm not trying to be a hater but I doubt
you're doing these like really high
quality like professional you know anime
uh images of course Redbubble also I
mean I have no clue if these are from
you know anime cartoons or or shows or
movies but
um of course the Redbubble doesn't care
enough to pull them uh either way so I
guess the summary of this shop is that
they put in minimal effort maybe they
signed up for Redbubble and uploaded 26
designs in the first day and just kind
of moved on from there but obviously
we're trying to do
a long-term business model not a like
one and done where somehow you get rich
after going to Google images and pulling
some images yeah Attack on Titan I know
I recognized that name from an anime
all right let's go on to the shop number
two
Savage Myrtle join 2020 211 design so
hopefully you'll continue to upload to
Redbubble
um you know there's definitely a
correlation between how many products
you have available for sale and how many
sales you make also other factors are at
play but like the more the better right
more coverage
uh you have a whole collection dedicated
to accordions
pretty interesting I guess maybe you
play the accordion or I don't know is
there like a whole untapped Niche there
of potential like print-on-demand sales
to be made for for accordion players
I'm just making fun uh I like that idea
candy heart stickers and you've got like
a sticker pack there that's actually
really smart uh you took the accordion
you multiplied it four times and then
you uploaded it as a sticker pack that's
also really smart
that's what we're looking at right here
so that's that's pretty good idea too I
mean I love the idea of sticker packs
you've got really great contrast in that
you've got your designs your white white
foreground designs against the black
shirt black foreground designs against
the white shirt
um they're looking good I mean good
color contrast absolutely helps sell
when people are just scrolling through
your content
um beyond that I mean yeah a lot of
stickers a lot of shirts that's my
preference when I'm selling on Redbubble
uh and you're doing a lot of like
generic sort of
template style approaches but I mean
they work you know what I mean I'm not
trying to even say it in a bad way I'm
saying that
um for instance like I play accordion
what's your superpower right like we
know that the the I do this what's your
superpower
um that that sells well across like all
niches so you just applied it to
accordions
uh you have badass X player where X is
an instrument
you have I heart and then something
right I heart anything like if you
create the I Heart Design uh just go
ahead and cycle in and out words below
and that's a tried and true design that
you know is going to work you know what
I mean and it can work in different
niches all right Shop number three
Beauty Clover joined in 2020 270 designs
cool looking uh Banner there
so let's check it out 10 collections
um scrolling through your home page some
I don't know some of these are like it's
kind of hard to tell that what's going
on in the foreground of this design
because it's like almost like a very
faded brown against a like a light brown
and a light blue in the background there
so unless that's like an intentional
like artistic thing I would just use
better color contrast
um looks like you've got a lot of
stickers a lot of shirts that's great
some of your designs though I do see the
same kind of repeated like
it's hard to read what's going on in
your design because of the use of colors
or you know stacking things where the
rabbit's ears are over the text just be
mindful of that
um this design that I'm pointing to
behind me Merry Christmas Happy New Year
it's like really hard to read
uh typically if I'm using a script font
like that
where it says Happy New Year
um most of them I've found are meant to
not be all caps so the first letter
might be caps and after that lowercase
so Capital H lowercase a p p y because
it's really hard to read that um as it
is
yeah and this may even be the same
font right here but you're doing it in
lowercase and look at what a difference
it made you can actually read the font
not 100 sure if that's the same but um I
would just mention that yeah script
fonts guys make sure yeah you've got
some other designs here that are kind of
hard to read both with color contrast
and font selection so I would definitely
keep that in mind like when you're doing
designs
it's almost like yo you could just go
back like the shop that I just looked at
a second ago where I closed out of
a lot of their designs were simple it
was like all white foreground as if they
went and they did a color overlay so
that every element in the foreground was
white and then they put on a black shirt
you're not blowing anybody away with
that style of design but like it works
right it works it's simple if you're
gonna get crazy with color selection
make sure you're not picking like colors
that don't work well together you got to
use complementary colors so that we can
read the foreground and that it stands
out from the background more importantly
uh if you're using text in your design I
mean that's when it really matters most
so definitely consider that
all right the next shop Here Pink Dream
design
3916 designs well done a nice Banner
there too says make your dreams come
true it's kind of matching The Branding
of the shop logo you've got stickers
you've got shirts so you're actually
highlighting the products that can be
purchased on your Redbubble shop I love
that well done
featured collection you're showing off
the pet mats which is a great idea if
you ask me why not right why not why not
show off the brand new products uh new
to Redbubble because here's the thing
I only know of one tool that will go
back in time for you and enable the new
product Types on your pre-existing
design uploads and that is called orbit
kit all right and if I remember I will
drop a link to orbit kit in the
description but beyond that a lot of
people
may not be going back in time and
enabling these new products so if you're
really on top of your Redbubble shop as
a Redbubble seller and you hear you get
the email that says hey we got these new
products you go in and you start
enabling them on your existing listings
and
you know creating new designs as well
like in this case these are probably all
new uploads all these uh dog designs
right because they fit the dog mat theme
so go ahead and uh feature them on your
shop right give them as much visibility
as you possibly can I think that makes a
lot of sense
beyond that you've got some sticker
packs um probably just a whole bunch of
different um products I would imagine
with 3 000 uh plus products on your shop
looks like you've scaled out some
designs as well class of 1993 class of
1953 going all the way back
if you're going to sell some 1953
class of 1953 I mean those are some old
people shout out to anybody that
graduated in 1953
the right place to sell them is probably
Redbubble right or or anywhere where
you're not paying per listing so like
Amazon Seller Central works as well
because you don't pay per listing if I'm
designing all the way back to 1953 I'm
probably not going to upload this to
like Etsy because Etsy I'm gonna have to
pay 20 cents per listing
and we do want to optimize for profits
guys
so shout out that you're doing that made
in 1933 so you went all the way back so
you're selling to people born in 1933
shout out to them almost 90 years old
hey at least on Redbubble like they'll
let you upload these things it looks
like you're probably scaling out some
designs probably using upload Automation
and I mean hey everybody has their
opinion on that I do it myself so I'm
gonna go ahead and just say Well done uh
I hope that you're being rewarded like
if I had to guess of all the shops that
I've reviewed on these Redbubble Shop
reviews with almost 4 000 designs you're
probably right up there with if I had
again I'm just guessing because I don't
have any indicators here but you're
probably making as many sales or more as
any of anybody shop we've seen in the
past so well done
Shop number five is serum Stone joined
March 2021 726 designs nice Banner there
nice crisp resolution nice uh shop logo
13 collections you have the ocean
collection I mean I think that became
popular because uh the other YouTuber
Alex strombu like she kind of shared her
red bubble shop and then people were
like whoa she's making a ton of money
off Redbubble I think she made like 20K
off one listing and it was like related
to the ocean next thing you know all
these people that watched her YouTube
videos are making Redbubble listings
with very similar um designs and whatnot
trying to kind of step on her her Niche
so it's like it's good and bad being on
YouTube and that's why I don't really go
out and like volunteer up my my niches
a lot of anime here
um kind of looks like maybe you're doing
the the Google image thing because I
mean I don't know where else you're
getting these like magazine covers
unless you're making them yourself you
got like some photographs though
Bridget Westfall like I don't know who
Bridget Westfall
is but now you've piqued my interest
recurring character in Australian
television drama Wentworth so who knows
maybe that is part of the Redbubble
partner program as well
um some of these stickers like this one
right here taisos looks like it could
have been from like the placeit
templates or potentially the canva
templates and if you're using those
there's no no shame in that I mean again
it's better to Max your daily uploads
using templates and maybe customizing
the text than to do nothing right
because you don't make any sales if you
don't upload if you upload though you
have a chance at making sales right and
then you all the Nuance starts to come
in like is your design good is it
researched what's your competition
etc etc etc overall though I think the
shop
um doing pretty good it's weird that you
have like the random like mixed in
like photos of real life in addition to
like then like the the nice print on
demandy looking designs like this one
you have here I really like this color
scheme I like this approach some curved
text big bold 1951 being like the
important part of the shirt therefore
it's the one that pops the most with the
yellow contrast with the biggest font
great distressed font there by the way I
love that uh special edition vintage
parts love that I like the color scheme
here you have the brown shirt but the
foreground contrasts really well with
the white and the yellow against that
brown shirt so I like that and I want to
go back really quickly and just mention
one thing I noticed
when you upload uh coffee mugs to
Redbubble definitely like in your I'm
assuming everybody that uploads to
Redbubble regularly
is doing the cloning of a template
listing in your template listing just
position your design so that when you
have coffee mugs the design faces the
front all right because I understand
what's happening here this used to
happen to me and then I went in and
fixed it and now it doesn't happen to me
anymore but you got to like optimize
your design for facing the front of the
coffee mug because the way that
Redbubble did their mock-up generator
for mugs to me makes no sense because
it's not uncommon at all to see this
like what we're seeing right here
um someone posted a shop that got
removed so let's I picked up one more
um this is LJ forever uh Redbubble shop
they have 340 designs from the United
Kingdom
really liking the banner I always like
when you kind of have the some of your
designs just kind of framed up kind of
like when you walk into a t-shirt shop
off the boardwalk at the beach at least
here in America so featured collection
is wedding themed shirts and hey we know
that when it's wedding season or people
are getting married
you know hey they spend a lot of money a
lot of impulse buys
you know it could be like a funny gag
gift it could be whatever right but you
you definitely are going to make some
sales and I mean Etsy I feel like built
their whole brand to build their
business I mean I'm just making this up
but honestly I wouldn't be surprised if
it was true
basically built that whole business
selling to like wedding themed stuff uh
bridesmaids themed stuff bachelorette
party theme bachelor party theme you
know what I'm saying you guys that have
been to Etsy before you know what I'm
you know what I mean uh you have 15
collections let's check out this shirt
that looks funny
um the beer shirt with the
reactive power wasted electricity real
power usable electricity so it's kind of
making like a beer into a power
I guess and I would just say one thing
like where you have power factor in the
gagglein font I recognize that font
you got you got room why not stack the
font put power up top and Factor
underneath and then make it bigger you
know I'm always looking at like filling
up the available design space myself I
think that makes you know a small subtle
difference but over time can result in
increased conversions so that's that's
the goal right uh some horse racing
shirts uh I will say like I get kind of
critical of people's use of red the
color red because it's it's hard to find
like a good red in my mind like I almost
like this softer red for karate versus
that harsh red in the nope sticker when
I see like I mean this is probably a
little bit softer than I would go with
but when I see a nice Soft Red I'll just
borrow the borrow right I'll write down
the the hex code and use it in the
future whereas like right here um the
dark red not as big a fan of the dark
red if you're gonna put it next to like
some black text because it's just like
two two harsh colors competing for your
attention
um so I want to just mention that I do
like your general like t-shirt your
approach to T-shirt design in general I
think it looks just fine looks good
um
you know you've got some kind of like
worn looking designs almost like a faded
almost like you limit you lessen the
opacity on these designs or maybe you
just chose like a subtle gray instead of
a white uh but I don't think it looks
that bad it almost kind of fits the the
niche too of like a lumberjack not
looking for like a bold design you know
on the shirt but maybe just like a more
subtle one you know whereas this white
the B like a bison is clearly a nice
white
um
like full white color
uh so you got it looks like you got the
evolution templated design approach you
know I like that I've honestly done that
myself too bourbon goes in with wisdom
comes out love that you can switch the
word bourbon with other words as you
probably did
um bourbon goes in wisdom comes out
another one
I like cats maybe three people yeah so I
think you're doing a great job though I
mean this is really it like you don't
have to be creating world-class t-shirts
with Redbubble you upload them for free
you get like 50 or 60 uploads a day as
long as you're doing good work and in
niches that people are actually looking
to buy you can do exactly what this shop
is doing and build a real business over
time so I do think that you're on
something here and I hope that you
continue uh would you have like 700 no
you had 340 designs so keep uploading
all right guys thank you for watching
please like And subscribe if you made it
till the end I appreciate you appreciate
your time hopefully you found the video
valuable uh drop me a comment if you
have any feedback or questions and I'll
see you guys tomorrow with a new top
