working what wasn't working

sold best for me

money

geography geographic location

all right let's talk about redbubble and
my
october 2020. by the way i need to
remember to get these
uh redbubble income reports out earlier
because when you go to your dashboard i
really
like how this chart looks like it just
looks good it looks professional
unfortunately they don't let me like
drill down into a specific date range so
as you can see here
it says october 8th to november 6th but
what i actually did
is while the picture is of that date
range i went ahead and hacked in my
actual
uh earnings from the month of october
which was 300
and 33 cents on 107 sales
all right and if i break down earnings
by artwork
and you know i protected my niches but
at the same time
i gave you well i protected the product
itself but i gave you the niche
so my best seller my most profitable
redbubble product was
i guess that you would call it an
investing meme i could have just said
meme but
the sub niche of meme is that it was
related to investing
the second best seller or at least most
uh
money most royalties made from a product
was
a pop culture reference the third
unfortunately was removed actually i i
removed it myself because i was like ah
i'm making some money here but at the
same time it's like do i really want to
roll the dice with my account
even though redbubble seems pretty
lenient because i have had stuff removed
in the past and it's they've been
i mean i'm still on but i removed it
myself
anyways i made four sales 13.7 cents and
uh
without getting into what the actual
meme was i will say that
it was from a big youtube channel let's
just put it that way it was very time
sensitive
major youtube channel with over 10
million subscribers
time sensitive and i i actually got the
majority of my sales from that meme
on ebay of all places so
uh trump so it was a trump niche
that was my fourth most profitable niche
on the month and then my fifth most
profitable
unfortunately was in the sports niche
and you know what i might make
a video and just talk about that because
that's my most that's my most profitable
product on redbubble
it's sad to see it go uh the design
literally was
just a colored letter of the alphabet
and it was not the letter of the
alphabet that if you're familiar with
uh the pro-trump movement that's related
to a single letter of the alphabet
that i can't say because i'm scared that
the youtube censorship hammer's gonna
come down on me but it's not that letter
it was not that letter so
um because i know you probably think oh
if it was that letter then it would make
sense no it wasn't that
so and that's how crazy it is now you
can't even say letters of the alphabet
without potentially getting censored or
de-platformed so i'm not even going to
roll the dice
um it's just the world we live in these
days 1984's is 2020
so it wasn't that though but either way
still got removed i might do a separate
video on it it sucks i made a bunch of
money from that design
but that's it i gotta let it go so what
is this it was
it was a letter of the alphabet that
sports fans were buying
because it was framed correctly let's
just put it that way but it wasn't
infringing on anything
even the font was not anything from a
major sports team so
all right let's look at a breakdown by
product type obviously redbubble has i
think like
86 or 87 different products that you can
sell designs on now so
there's gonna be a ton in the in the pie
chart each month when i do my month in
review
but it looks like uh stickers really led
the way in october for me with 40
percent
of my overall sales followed by
it looks like essential t-shirts with
thirteen point one percent and then
classic t-shirts at nine point one
percent also shout out to greeting cards
look at my greeting cards
five point one percent of my sales not
bad
and if i look at my royalty by product
stickers
led the way and i did mention this
before but
all of my stickers well technically two
of the three sticker types i have my
artist margin which is my profit margin
at over a hundred percent i recommend
you consider doing the same
because it still doesn't make them cost
that much and if you have something that
somebody likes
and wants they'll pay a couple bucks for
it um the one sticker type
i have set to like i forget which which
sticker type it is but it's
it might be the glossies glossy stickers
if i remember i have it set to like i
think 95
and then it brings it to a nice round
not round number but like a
i think 4.99 so that's the only one
that's under 100 but it still comes to a
nice markup
but as you can see here stickers
followed by essential shirts followed by
classic t-shirts in terms of royalties
generated
traffic sources so in case you want to
take a look it looks like
direct traffic was the majority
of what drove traffic to my listings and
if you look at how on the left hand side
they
define direct traffic they say direct
traffic represents visitors that land
directly onto your shop or product
listings by either typing your url into
the
browser's address bar clicking the
bookmark or clicking the link on an
email or message so i'm guessing that
may be from
redbubble's ability to bring people back
to the platform via email
you know they also run retargeting ads
which do they
split up ads here i don't know if they
do actually
interesting maybe other represents ads
being bringing people back
i don't know or direct i mean i don't
know if you click direct that's you know
it is
a direct landing on your listing but uh
i love that redbubble does the
retargeting ads where if somebody
clicks like if they do a search find add
to cart or like a search find and don't
add to cart
they can still potentially serve that
person that potential customer
retargeting ads to bring them back to
the platform try to get them to convert
but they also
you know and this is free what i'm about
to describe so they don't have to pay
retargeting ads you pay
via email though that's why if you do a
keyword search and you're not logged in
but you start scrolling through search
results
in the middle of the search results i
mean they'll probably hit you with a
pop-up but
in case they don't get you to give the
email address with the pop-up
they'll try to get an email address
right there in the uh
product um search results like about a
couple rows down
probably towards like the middle of the
page honestly but once they have an
email address then they can say to these
people hey we know you searched for
t-rex t-shirts we may have what you like
and then try to bring them back to the
platform so maybe that's what this is
honestly
um oh yeah redbubble okay nevermind the
redbubble the tan the peach one sorry i
missed that
redbubble traffic represents visitors
that land on your redbubble shop or
product listings from redbubble
generated activities such as
marketing emails paid advertising
affiliates the blog and any searches
conducted on the redbubble website
well then i don't know what is
generating all this direct traffic
to my redbubble listings unless never
mind
no organic alright this is a separate
video topic probably at this point cause
i've been talking too much but
if they're putting organic traffic from
search engines
as purple and the redbubble is peach
then how the heck am i getting so much
pink traffic as direct
because i don't operate any websites
sending traffic to my redbubble shop
i think they might have an issue with
their reporting honestly because
that implies that other people are doing
it for me maybe
um i just don't get it i mean not that
there couldn't be bloggers out there
that
find my product on redbubble and put a
blog post together with links but
i'm guessing that's probably not the
case where i'd be driving consistent
traffic on a daily basis
could be wrong but anyways let's move on
google analytics and i said i had an
update here
so unfortunately i had a couple people
message me that redbubble changed their
google analytics and i'm like what do
you mean
i went in i looked mine my stuff was
still working perfectly
i went to my google analytics and it was
working perfectly
however this screenshot is from
september there's a reason for that
so i started digging like what are
people talking about there's only two
people that messaged me so but i mean
that typically if it's one person it's
like
it's probably them if it's two it's like
it starts to be a trend i'm like all
right i'll take a look
google analytics upgraded to like
version four
and you don't have to upgrade but i went
ahead and i clicked let's go let's
update
and in doing so you get a new analytics
web property id that
does not have the ua prefix redbubble
unfortunately
currently has validation on this text
box that says
must begin with ua so
if the prefix for the new google
analytics is not ua
you can't save it if you can't save your
new
property id for tracking then you're not
going to get any tracking
so my google analytics now is blank
and because i'm in v4 it won't even let
me go back and look at like
because i mean i did i just probably
just did this on november 1st so i
should have been able to pull my october
data it wouldn't let me see my october
data so that's all i got for this month
hopefully i'll figure it out for the
november redbubble income report all
right customer locations this is a
breakdown of where i got my sales
obviously australia since it's a
redbubble's an australian company
by the by the way did i do this last
time i did a
i might have done this last time i did
one of these income reports but check
out redbubble stock they're crushing
here we go so let's look at the last
month
okay so if you look at six months
redbubble's doing pretty well it went
from 79 cents to uh
327 but just like month over month i
feel like i would look every month that
i did one of these videos and it's like
i would be like was redbubble another a
good investment again
so it went from 308 to 327 which is
still not too bad i mean 3.08
divided by 3.27 in a month you would
have gained 5.9 percent which
that's good believe it or not it may not
be exciting but um that's still pretty
good
anyways completely separate maybe i
should just invest some money into
redbubble for fun and we can all like
look at the stock together i know stock
videos do really well
um but it's i don't think it's traded on
the new york stock exchange otherwise i
would have done it for fun anyways
and then i'm going to short the crap out
of etsy at sea stock
real quick you all want to look at this
with me etsy stock
they got added to the s p 500 so their
stock has been doing really well even
though i hate them as a company
i considered shorting them but i did not
do that because everything's backwards
these days i'm happy i didn't
alright so customer location mainly
united states as you can see here
a little bit in canada a little bit in
europe and australia
all right real quick the plan for
november
i'm going to be selling some masks and
i'm going to be optimizing some designs
for some masks because it looks like joe
biden will be the next president of the
united states
there's a lot of rumors and rumblings
that he
is going to basically double down on
you know the whole c19
cerveza sickness narrative um you know
regardless of if you
actually follow never mind i'm not even
gonna go there
um but yeah the whole mask thing there
might be nationwide mass mandates
so if that happens the people who have
positioned themselves
to make money off of people buying masks
even the people that don't want to wear
one that will have to if this happens
it's all speculation till it happens
right
but i think that masks will be in high
demand again
sadly they may be a big christmas
present this this year too
so um i mean sadly because it really
does kind of dehumanize us right and
especially for deaf people
that read lips you can't read lips
anymore i mean it's sad for a lot of
reasons but
um if they're going to be in high demand
with print on demand
us sellers trying to make some money
position yourself to benefit from it you
know redbubble just released those
fitted masks too so it would not be a
bad idea
to upload your designs and then set your
primary thumbnail to the
fitted masks because look you type in
masks on redbubble you get all the same
masks because these are the first ones
to be
released if you start optimizing for
fitted masks as your primary thumbnail
you will stand out in search results and
if you stand out
higher likelihood of getting clicked you
can't make a sale unless you get clicked
from search results so you guys already
know this stuff
but anything you can do to stand out
also when it comes to quality designs
for masks
obviously not portrait but landscape
oriented designs
all over prints tend to look really well
look really good as well
if you are like hey i want to sell masks
too i like the logic behind it
but i'm not that great of a designer
well consider just saying consider i'm
letting you know
vexels is like a really great place to
go it does
you know it's a membership site but they
specialize in like the all-over prints
i mean they do it all they don't just do
all-over prints but they have some
really nice-looking pattern designs and
i mean i didn't do a search here for
thanksgiving i just went to the site and
they were already like
throwing all the fall theme thanksgiving
themed stuff
in my face which i was cool with because
i was like hey that's what i want to
show anyways
uh so here's just a preview of some of
the awesome thanksgiving stuff they've
got going on
also you can always like flip these uh
90 degrees and go sell them on phone
cases
on amazon merch as well and i mean
plenty of other products but
there's a lot of good all over print
products on redbubble and i'm planning
on doing some shop reviews tomorrow as
well so
we're going to look at some of those
really nice looking all-over print
products tomorrow um
because i've already recorded that video
hint so i already know there's some good
looking ones that we're going to see in
some of the shops
