- Hey everyone.
So, today I'm going to show you my favorite method
for earning free money online
that has no hidden costs or fees,
does not require a credit card,
and it can be done with just a cell phone
or a tablet like an iPad, yep.
And the way that you can make free money
with just a cellphone or a tablet
is you can open a free online store
and sell free items in it
like cell phone cases, T-shirts, hoodies,
and even bath mats,
all while making a nice profit.
Now, I'll be honest, if you've been subscribed for a while,
you're probably going to recognize this method,
but I highly recommend you keep watching anyway,
because in this video,
I'm going to teach you how to do it on the go,
on a phone or a tablet with step-by-step tutorials,
which is something I've never shown before.
So, say goodbye to playing silly phone games
and hello to using that time productively
on the bus or train,
to work on creating an extra source of passive income,
but first, quick disclaimer.
This is not a way to become rich
or become a millionaire overnight.
If that's what you're after this video is not for you.
But I am really happy to say
that lots of subscribers and viewers
leave me regular comments telling me how the views,
my previous video tutorials I've made on this,
to now earn extra side money, which is awesome.
Congratulations everybody.
And see, here's the thing.
Yes, I've shown how to do this method before,
but never on a cell phone or tablet,
I've only ever shown how to do it on a computer.
And so, literally every day,
I get multiple comments from my viewers
asking if they can do it on a mobile device.
So, I need to answer this question for these viewers ASAP
And while the answer is obviously yes, 100%.
You can do this,
but you need to know the right apps to use.
So, the first thing that you need to do
is to hit that like button enter subscribe,
but now, seriously, thank you so much for everybody
that takes a moment out of your very busy day
to give this video a like.
I genuinely appreciate the support.
Now, the actual thing that we need to do
is to come to Redbubble.
Redbubble as a website that lets you create
and sell lots of products online for free
using something called print-on-demand.
Now, I know a lot of my subscribers
already know what Redbubble is and how it works,
but most people who watch my videos are new around here.
So, please bear with me while I explain it for them.
I appreciate your patience.
So, as I said, using Redbubble,
there are lots of products that you can create
and sell for a profit for free.
So, you could create and sell hoodies and sweatshirts,
and you can create and sell all sorts of things
for the home.
So, you could correct and sell mugs,
or you could create and sell bath mats,
or you could create and sell clocks.
Plus you can create and sell pillows,
which are very popular,
And something else that's really popular right now
are masks.
Masks are selling really great right now
because people wanna wear fun ones outside,
instead of boring, ugly ones.
So, if you have a fun face mask idea like this one here,
Foggy Glasses Club, you can create and sell these for free.
And, of course, you can create
and sell the most popular product on Redbubble,
which are T-shirts.
And the thing is, all the products that you're seeing here,
including the T-shirts,
all of them have been created just by average normal people
like you or I.
And while you might look at this and you might be like,
"Well, Sarah,
I'm not a graphic designer and I'm not an artist.
So, I don't have a way to design T-shirts,
I can't do this."
Trust me, you don't need any designing skills
nor do you need to be able to make T-shirts, as I will show.
But I can imagine though, that there's another question
that a bunch of you are asking out there.
You're like, Sarah,
"I get that you can sell all these products on Redbubble,
but how is it free?"
I mean, if someone buys a T-shirt from me on there,
don't I have to go buy that T-shirt,
so that I can ship it out to them,
or do I have to go make it?
Look, I'm broke, I don't have a T-shirt factory.
I'm confused, this doesn't sound free at all."
Well, here's how it works.
You simply register for a free seller account
and upload either a picture or a trendy funny slogan
that you think customers will love.
And once you've uploaded your picture or a slogan,
you can then choose from Redbubble's products
that you think it will look good on
and that you want to sell
in your free online Redbubble store.
And you can modify them too.
So, for example,
you can choose your primary T-shirt color
that you think your design will look best on
and move the picture around to pick a spot on the T-shirt
that you like best.
And then, once you've got the design
looking the way that you want it to,
you then just save your product.
Redbubble with then store a digital copy of it
on its website,
and your product will immediately go live in your store,
and Redbubble's huge amount of customers
will be able to find it and if they love it, buy it.
And there's something that I think is pretty unique,
Redbubble don't review your product
to determine whether it's good enough for their marketplace,
and there's no waiting around
to be able to make sales and money with it,
and you don't have to prove yourself either.
Brand new sellers can immediately upload products
onto their superpopular marketplace
and customers can start buying them right away.
And to me, I genuinely think that this is pretty cool.
Because it meant then that this lovely viewer
was able to make a sale on her very first day.
And if you don't believe me that Redbubble superpopular,
check this out.
Millions of people are coming here each and every month
looking to buy quirky, fun T-shirts.
And it's not just my subscribers using Redbubble
to make money, nope!
Redbubble have made over $200 million in the last year
from customers coming to the site,
buying products that people like you upload.
And so, if one of those customers finds your T-shirt
and likes it,
and it's like, "Well, I'm going to buy this."
Redbubble will collect the money that the customer paid
and then their merchandise factory will print
your design onto a T-shirt.
They will then package that T-shirt up
and they'll ship it out to the customer automatically,
without you having to do anything.
They will move their production fees
from the money that the craftsman paid
and pay you the profit as a commission.
So, Redbubble makes money
because they make money from producing the product
and you make money from the commission they pay you
for your art.
It's a win, win.
The standard commission rate for T-shirts is 20%
and they will pay it out either to a PayPal account
or to your bank account for eligible countries.
And so, you can see why we in the industry
call Redbubble a print-on-demand website,
because that's literally what it is.
Their printing the products you create with them on demand
as customers order them.
And by the way, if you're watching this video
and you would like to learn even more
about setting up a print-on-demand business,
then you should be sure to download my free ebook.
"The Six Steps That Six Figure Online Stores Follow
To Make Over $10,000 A Month,"
and you'll find a link to download my free ebook
in the video description below.
But anyway, back to the video,
and clearly, if you want to make money on Redbubble,
it requires that you do two things.
One, it requires that you're able to create
trendy, cool slogans
or pictures to be able to upload the products.
And two, it requires that you're able to actually
upload those products to Redbubble.
And luckily, with the right apps,
you can do all of this with either a cell phone or a tablet.
So, let me show you how to do these things step by step.
Now, for this tutorial,
I am going to be using my cell phone,
but this will work just as well on a tablet.
So, here's the thing, right?
On Redbubble, they list your top selling T-shirts
on the product category, Home Pages,
and look at what one of the top selling T-shirts is.
It's just a simple T-shirt featuring some typewriter text.
The simple little T-shirt
is earning its creator money each month.
And of course,
it's not the only simple word-based design here, nope!
There are so many other top selling T-shirts on Redbubble,
which are just funny word-based designs that feature text,
and that is it.
Simple word-based designs, when clever, can sell great.
And so, if you're not an artist,
then this is what I recommend that you focus on creating.
So, for my tutorial,
I'm going to show you how to create word-based designs
by showing you how simple it would have been,
if you had been the person
who would come up with the slogan here
by recreating this design
from scratch, using just my phone.
And to recreate it,
we will be using this 100% free app here
Spark Post by Adobe.
Now, while this does have a paid version,
you don't need to buy it at all.
The free version will work great.
So, download the app and load it up
and I'll show you how I recreated this design step by step.
So, firstly, I clicked on the blue plus button
in the bottom right corner to create a new design,
and next, I to choose a background.
So, I clicked solid color.
Now, when you're creating designs to print onto products,
you don't actually want a background at all.
You want to remove your background
and to make it transparent.
Now, luckily, this is super easy to do with the app
and we will be making our background transparent later,
but for now we need to just pick a color,
and gray is nice
because most colored text will show up on it,
making it easy to work with.
So, once you've picked a color, click next.
And now, you need to select how big of a file
you want your design to be.
I recommend clicking Custom, like me, and making a big file.
I made mine 5,000 by 5,000 pixels.
By making a big file,
it will mean it will print in higher resolution
onto your products,
Because, well, if you upload a picture that's too small,
Redbubble will tell you it's in too low of a resolution
to print onto products.
So, having a big picture size is important.
And once you've done that, click Done.
So, next, I of course want to change this text to be
my funny slogan rather than this filler text.
So, I just double tapped the text
and then modified it to be my slogan.
"In my defense, I was left unsupervised."
And the reason why this, of course, sold so well was,
at the time this was uploaded,
nobody had uploaded this phrase here onto Redbubble.
So, if you want to succeed with making money on Redbubble
with simple word-based designs like this,
a great tip is that you should stay on top of trends
so that you can be one of the first people,
if not the first person,
to put new funny slogans and phrases onto their products
when they first become popular.
But yes, after that, I didn't want to have the square box,
which shows is that behind your text by default,
but it's really easy to get rid of.
Just come to shape
and then here you can, of course,
select all sorts of different shapes
to appear behind your text.
So, if you did want some sort of shape, you can edit here,
but I just wanted plain text.
So, I clicked the circle with the cross in it
to get rid of it,
and after that, I came back to color.
So, here you can select any color you want for your text,
but obviously, my design featured white text,
so that's what I chose.
White text is often a good choice for T-shirts as well,
because it looks awesome on a black T-shirt
and black T-shirts are by far the most popular color.
So, that why you will mostly see
black tee shirts on Redbubble.
And so, that is my pro tip for you.
If you have a design
that you think customers will absolutely love,
that we'll definitely not work on a black T-shirt
and needs to work on something like a white one,
then, sure, you can do that.
But otherwise,
I recommend that you design your slogans and pictures
to work best on a black T-shirt
since they are the most popular.
And after that,
I went and selected which font I wanted to use.
And something that's also really cool about Spark Post,
is it all the fonts here, they are free open-source fonts.
Is what this means,
is that you're legally allowed to use these fonts
on products that you sell,
and obviously, that's what we want to do.
But for me, I wanted to go with a typewriter look,
so I settled on the Josefin Slab font,
which I'm not sure if it's the right pronunciation.
And it was looking really good,
but obviously the text area is pretty small here.
And my advice for most people
is that you should make your design as wide as it can be.
There will always be exceptions,
but this is usually the best thing to do.
So, I came to the size tab
and dragged the size bar make it bigger
and moved it to the top and center of my design.
And you can just drag and drop it with your finger,
and a dotted line will appear on screen,
which will tell you that your text is centered.
And so, this was looking really good, of course,
but there was still one more tweak we needed to make.
Do you see how far apart
these sentences are from each other?
That was looking a little ugly.
So, I came to the spacing tab
and dragged the line space down
to bring the sentences closer together.
And boom!
We had the design.
The only thing we have to do is to save the picture
and remove that gray-colored background
that Spark Post post forced us to add in the beginning.
So, to do that, just click the download button
and then click Transparent image.
And this will now save our picture
and the picture will only feature text
and it won't have any of that gray background.
And once it saved, you can now upload it to Redbubble.
And also pro tip.
If you're watching this and you are an artist,
then check out Autodesk,
it's a free drawing app for tablets like an iPad.
If you have the talent,
you can use this to draw and upload a cool piece of artwork,
if you prefer to do that instead.
And by the way, if you're watching this video
and you have any questions,
then you should be sure to come along to my Instagram
Q and A hangout session at 8:00 pm Eastern USA time tonight
as in, the date that this video goes live.
I regularly host live Q and A Hangouts on my Instagram page.
So, if you haven't followed me, go ahead and do so now.
But anyway, back to the video.
So, we created a top selling design
using just our cell phone,
so now, we need to upload it to Redbubble.
So, I'm going to show you how to do this with a cell phone
step by step.
All right, so if you go to your phone's App Store,
you will see that Redbubble has an app,
and this app is great for customers.
It's very easy to browse here for products.
So, you know,
I'm sure a lot of people buy stuff using the app,
but it has zero functionality
to allow sellers to upload the designs.
Boo!
So, instead, just come to Redbubble's website
and log in to your free seller account.
Now, make sure you've completed your profile too,
because you can't sell products publicly
until you've selected your payout method,
but that literally takes 30 seconds, so it's no big deal.
After that, click on the menu item
and then click your seller profile
and then just click, Add new work.
And as you'll see,
it now looks exactly like the computer version of this page
and it works just as well.
Obviously, the buttons are smaller,
but it works just fine.
So, to upload a picture,
click Upload new work,
and then, select the artwork
that we made earlier with Spark Post
and just let it upload.
Now, something that you might have noticed is that,
when you upload a design to Redbubble,
it will let you add in tags.
Now, for the sake of keeping this video, not overly long,
I'm not going to go into how to pick tags.
But picking great texts can be an awesome way to help people
find and buy your products.
There are some fantastic video tutorials on YouTube,
which talk more about this.
So, if you're interested,
I highly recommend checking them out.
But while tags are optional, a title is not.
You have to add in the title.
So, if you're uploading a slogan,
just using the slogan as a title is absolutely fine.
And next, you want to come in and choose
which products you want to sell,
and edit it to make your design look great on it.
So, for me, I wanted to sell it as a T-shirt,
so I clicked the edit button on the T-shirt,
and here you can choose which color T-shirt
you want as your primary tissue color.
And so, of course, while all colors do sell well,
black T-shirts are the most popular.
So, if your design looks good on black,
it's usually the best color to pick.
And you can drag your design around with your finger
and place it where you want
and center it using the buttons on the right.
The functionality is 100% the same as it is on a computer,
you're just working with the smaller screen.
So, once you're finished with it, click Apply changes.
So, you now want to go through
and edit each of the products that you want to sell.
If there's a product you don't want,
make sure it's disabled.
If it's enabled, just tap the enabled button to disable it.
So, go through and pick which the products
you think your design will look good on
and disable it for the products that it will look bad on.
Now, you may have noticed that
my design isn't showing up on a lot of these products
and that's because I'm using white text
and a lot of these products are white.
So, my white text will not show up on them.
So, for products like this here,
it means then that if you have white text,
there's no point in selling them on those products anyway.
So, I highly recommend disabling them.
So, here at the bottom,
there are text boxes that are tiny on a cell phone,
but if you squint, you can read it.
But basically,
there are two check boxes here that you need to tick.
The one on the bottom left says
that you have the right to sell the art,
and the second on the bottom right is asking
if your product contains nudity.
So, just tick no.
You know, on the condition that
it doesn't actually contain any nudity.
Otherwise, your Redbubble account
will probably get shut down, which wouldn't be so good,
so, don't include nudity.
And then, just save your products
and well, you know, that's it.
You've uploaded your first product to Redbubble for free,
and now, people can come in and buy it,
and you've done it all just by using your cell phone
or your tablet.
