[Music]
thanks for joining me on this video my
name is juno with detour shirts i've
been designing and selling t-shirts
online since 2005 and i want to share
with you some tips that you can use to
help you get more sales and in this case
on redbubble so the email that i got was
telling us about six ways to get
featured on redbubble i've been featured
on redbubble as a featured artist you
get this on your profile right here and
this is when redbubble shares with the
public your designs uh and it's really
good because it gives you great exposure
it's on redbubble's home page if you go
on there you'll see and you scroll down
you'll see featured artists right there
and
lots of people get on there and it's
great exposure especially for people
that are coming to redbubble they also
share your stuff on their instagram
channel so you can get featured there as
well so lots of good free traffic if
you're a featured artist and these are
six tips to help you get that
badge and that exposure that you need as
a artist and i think it will just help
you get more sales i've noticed a lot
more sales as being featured especially
on the designs that they pick to feature
you get so many more sales when that
happens so let me show you what i
learned from this email recently so
you're going to want to stay till the
end i'm going to recap all six as well
as a seventh bonus tip that they share
in this email too so let's get started
so the first tip in this email is tag
your work well so i know there's a lot
of
talk on redbubble especially for spam
tagging and that's not what they're
talking about this is tagging your work
well using relevant tags using the right
amount of tags you can go to the
redbubble they have a blog post about
what kind of tags to use how to use
those tags but basically you want to use
the right tags that people are looking
for so if your
design has something like a dog eating
ramen of course you want to put dog and
ramen in there if it's a corgi dog you
want to put corgi things that people
actually are going to type into the
search bar on redbubble to look for your
stuff because if they don't know how to
find your stuff you know people aren't
going to be able to buy your thing so
make sure you tag your designs well
not the spam tagging not repeating the
same word over and over that's not best
practices i know that's a big topic on
redbubble but you want to make sure to
use the right tags that people are
looking for and you can look for these
things on redbubble if you go through
the search you'll see some of the tags
that redbubble recommends as well so
tip number one tag your work well
the second tip in this email is format
format format they stress it three times
and that's because it's very important
whenever you see that three times that
means it's super important to do make
sure that your t-shirts are formatted
correctly make sure your stickers are
formatted correctly each product should
have a design that fits on there
perfectly
watch out for postcards a lot of times
if you just put the default design on
postcards you'll get that
top and bottom white space so make sure
you get the right spacing for that
just look at each product when you put
it on and it and it lays it out nicely i
have a video about
laying out postcards and stickers
using the right kind of sizes for that
mugs especially too you're going to want
to do that so if you're going to choose
a product just make sure that it lines
up correctly and watch out for white
text as well a lot of people
put in their white text but then put it
on a white background and you can't read
it at all so especially on the stickers
because the stickers don't have a
background by itself so make sure that
you
look at the stickers make sure that you
can read everything everything's in the
right space and everything like that so
format format format very important tip
number two because redbubble is not
going to feature your artwork if the
format is wrong on products so they want
to make sure that it's good right there
so make sure to follow this tip and
format your designs correctly on each
product so tip number three is related
to tip number two and that is enable
more products so redbubble has so many
different products i think they're up to
70 products right now i don't know it's
a lot i know it's more than 60. they
have so many different products make
sure though that your design like i said
fits properly on those products but put
them on as many products as you can
stickers without backpacks they just
added more products recently i think for
for pets as well scarves and things like
that so
make sure that your design works on
those products don't just put them on
products and they don't look good so
make sure you you have a balance right
just put them on as many products as as
they look good but they got shower
curtains and duvet covers and and
sometimes you'll be surprised you may
get a sale on a product that you didn't
think you would i know that happens to
me a lot of times i get a sale for a
duvet cover or sale for a post or
something that i didn't think that's not
a t-shirt so that can be helpful too so
put it on on as many products as you can
that look good enable all those products
that are great and that will give you a
better chance of getting featured as an
artist at least that's what red bubble
is saying so
tip number three is enable more products
so tip number four is to upload new work
regularly so this is a great tip not
only for redbubble for any print on
demand service i notice as you add more
and more products
more often you'll get a spike in sales
at least that's what how i see it
redbubble is also looking for new
designs constantly so as you add more
new designs your designs will show up on
the new feed for them and they'll have a
better chance of finding your stuff so
constantly upload new stuff it's a lot
better in my opinion to upload
a couple a day or as many as you want
every day as opposed to uploading a bulk
of stuff in one day and not uploading uh
in a week so
if you have 60 designs for example don't
just upload 60 designs in one day i
would spread it out over the week
just so it looks like you're uploading
constancy so that's a that's a tip that
i do personally
just to make sure that i have a constant
stream of uploads i think it really
helps in the algorithm even though i
don't know what the algorithm is i'm
just assuming that it does and redbubble
also is saying to upload consistently so
lots of benefits for this and this is
tip number four from redbubble and that
is upload new work regularly so tip
number five and this email is think of
trends so if you see trends happening
they have the trend lines on redbubble i
used to feature that as well i know some
of them are very saturated but if you
have something that relates to that
there's a good chance that redbubble
will see it as well because they're
always looking at trends so a great way
to be featured is to make sure that your
design
is a design that works really well for
that trend don't just copy what other
people are doing but make sure that your
design stands out
it's something that people actually want
to buy and can be related to that trend
so
redbubble is looking for that and i know
other people are too so
you know if they're featuring a trend on
their page they're going to be looking
for something to show and if yours is
standing out from it it just makes sense
that they would feature that
design as a featured trend because
people are looking for it so make sure
to look for trends you don't have to
consistently do trends trends aren't
everything but it can help when getting
exposure and
getting redbubble to look for your stuff
so i've i've done that a few times
redbubble has some contests and things
like that that i've entered in in the
past and you know if if you win some of
those contests or you or you design for
that a lot of times they they put those
kinds of trends or call outs on their
website or on their instagram look for
those kinds of trends as well very
relevant so
tip number five in this email is to
think about trends so tip number six in
this email is to let redbubble know who
you are so what they suggest is to make
sure you fill out everything in your
profile fill out your social media
contacts
fill out a little bio of who you are
things like that what kind of style you
like make sure that everything on your
profile page on your home page is all
filled out you want to make sure that
you have that background and everything
just make sure that redbubble knows who
you are they really love that
as far as having a featured artist so
they can say this person is from blah
blah blah and
you know it just makes a great article
when they do a featured artist so make
sure to fill all of that out
that way that when they pick you they
have something to share about you
in on their page because it just makes
it easier for someone to connect with
you and your artwork so make sure that
your profile is filled out make sure
that everything is
the way it should be don't leave
anything out there and just have a good
story as well so uh this is red bubble
tip number six and i think it's a really
good one that a lot of people uh forget
about and that is to let redbubble know
who you are so the bonus tip the ps at
the end of this uh email is to use the
hashtag or at symbol of red bubble
artist so on instagram or on any of the
social media sites uh twitter is a good
one facebook and things like that make
sure to use either the hashtag or the at
symbol
just so that redbubble can find you on
there so they're constantly looking at
these things they have a social media
team right looking for that so if you
have something nice and you tag it with
those special tags then they'll be able
to find it and it'll be on their radar
so don't forget about that if you're
sharing your redbubble artwork on social
media use the hashtag redbubble artist
or the at redbubble artist as well
