hey guys ryan here joined by my buddy
pablo here say hello pablo
and today we're thinking that we should
do a
redbubble income report for the month of
november
and you know what i won't bury the lead
my sales
were pretty good in the month of
november they definitely improved over
october
as you would expect as we head into the
fourth quarter but if you guys want to
see
how much money i made in uh royalties
and also like what niches were selling
well and
my plan moving forward into december
stay tuned
and let's get started before pablo jumps
out of my hand
i just realized he was off screen he's
trying to jump down so i'ma let him play
while i record this video
[Music]
real quick had to remind you i've got a
weekly print on demand giveaway running
it ends tomorrow on saturday so make
sure you get your entries in today it's
completely free
and i'm giving away my print on demand
mega pack over a thousand dollars in
prizes to be split by two lucky winners
uh you can actually increase the number
of entries by the way by performing
little tasks after you enter
but this week sponsored by the flying
upload for upload automation to print on
demand websites save a bunch of time
automate pod print on demand design
creation automation so again saving
massive amounts of time

i take those i add text
and create winning designs right next to
the
entry link for the giveaway i've got a
link to my free print on demand mini
course
delivered to your inbox over eight days
very thorough take advantage and i've
got a print on demand facebook community
if you'd like to join
um growing very quickly lots of great
discussion each day love to have you
all right so redbubble income report
november 2020
my total earnings on the month amounted
to 405.99
on 153 sales what do you say we look up
how much money did that equate to
per sale 405.99 divided by 153
roughly 2.65 cents per sale
in royalties when i break down my
earnings by artwork and i you know kept
the designs to myself here
but so i blurred them out but i did give
you the niche and
my top five well my best seller my
highest grossing
uh earner was a meme and i don't really
know what more to say about it other
than that it was a meme
so it has some you know popularity a
little bit of virality to it and i
didn't have to do any advertising it
just kind of
memes take a life of their own right uh
the next one was a gaming niche the next
one was investing so anybody likes to
invest in uh stocks it was related to
stock market investing
the next one was a science slash
humorous science
uh meme if you will and the fifth one
was tailored to a specific
job and it was kind of random i was like
should i even just say what job it was
but you know i was talking about
automate pod that tool a second ago
oftentimes i'll create like a nice funny
template for print on demand
design like i don't say um like a design
and i'll create a variable for where the
job can be inserted
so i can take one design and scale it
out for 100 different jobs or 200
different jobs which creates that many
different designs
and then redbubble let's push 50 a day
which is easy using the duplicate
function
right so instead of uploading manually
and positioning your designs each time
do all your designs at the same
dimensions save a template
and then clone the template every time
you want to start a new upload
to redbubble and it makes it very easy
to
get indexed have a bunch of listings
created on a bunch of different
sub niches of various professions like
this one was super random
and it got four sales on the month so
it's pretty awesome also you notice i
didn't have any really huge trends
making a lot of money everything was
pretty well
diversified which honestly if i was to
do an amazon merch income report for
november
slash december so far it was just the
same story i mean i've got a ton of
designs up but
i'm not really trend chasing most of
them are um evergreens you know and
things like that like sell to people
working a specific profession
you know because that's not cool that's
not going away and then 2020 happens a
lot of jobs did go away but
separate separate topic all right
product type um
got a big pie chart here it's tough to
you know redbubble breaks down
they don't just say t-shirts they say
essential shirts graphic shirts
classic shirts so a lot of different um
slices of the pie in the pie chart but
my
highest earner was definitely t-shirts
if you were to lump all the various
t-shirt types together
if you split them though it looks like
stickers represented 23.1 percent of all
sales
it's weird though they they lump
together the various sticker types but
they don't lump together
the t-shirt types because it looks like
i've sold
fitted scoop t-shirts fitted v-neck
shirts tri-blend shirts fitted shirts
essential shirts graphic shirts and
classic shirts so a bunch of different
types of t-shirts if you added those up
it would probably be over 50
actually for sure it would be or maybe
it'd be close
uh my royalty breakdown by product type
looks like
classic t-shirts led the way they edged
out essential shirts just slightly
followed by stickers coming in at third
by the way just a reminder i do suggest
you increase your sticker royalties to
at least a hundred percent
and i've had people tell me they go
above 200 percent and they still sell a
ton
so just keep that in the back of your
mind you should be remember you're doing
this to get paid it's not like
amazon merch where they're going to
remove it from the catalog if it doesn't
make a sale
over a period of time with redbubble you
know you push it there it stays there
so optimize your products to make some
sales by the way when you go in and you
edit your profit margins your royalties
you can have it apply to all of your
existing listings
all at once so that's a cool little
feature i don't know if you guys knew
about that
but if you were like oh i already have
5000 listings i don't want to go back
and update no
you can do it all from your dashboard
you can manage the
markup and then you can have it apply to
everything
traffic sources so again redbubble
splits this reporting up by
redbubble as far as traffic goes
redbubble organic
direct social media and other
and you can find this on your dashboard
so it looks like
the majority of my traffic came
organically
and that is followed by redbubble and
then
it's followed by direct followed by
other followed by
social media i'd say well social media
and others look to be about equal
and again i wish i had more
clarification on exactly what
these indicators meant um you know i
feel like i say that every month when
i'm doing one of these
redbubble does give us definitions which
i pasted over there on the side
but they're not that they're not that
exact you know and i'm always thinking
as a front end web developer for eight
years you know working nine to five
i always kind of been thinking of like
the technical equivalent of what these
words are trying to say
and it's not that clear to me so you
know maybe i'll reach out to them and
see if we can get more clarification
google analytics now i wish i had the
google analytics to show you guys but as
i mentioned last
month and it's still true today that
google analytics updated their tracking
id format
and it no longer starts like basically
redbubble has some validation on the
prefix of what the google analytics tag
should look like
but that's the old google analytics and
i used to have it working and it was
working just fine but then
somebody said brian what about the new
google analytics i was like what are you
talking about so i
i don't know if i should say stupidly
you know i mean it's not stupid but i
went in and i upgraded my
old google analytics to the new one and
as a result
i can no longer track my redbubble um
traffic and metrics and whatnot until
redbubble allows us to
put the new google analytics tag in
there so hopefully hey redbubble if
you're watching
um it shouldn't be that hard you just
gotta tweak the javascript in there
uh if it was javascript actually we
might be able to get it in i'm sure
there's probably some server side
validation also
going on so hopefully by next month i'll
have the google analytics stuff in there
to show you
uh i can show you however the customer
locations and if you're wondering how
did i get the data if i can't get it
from google analytics well redbubble
actually gives us
a detailed sales report again you can
pull it from your dashboard
you can download it as a csv what i do
is i download a csv
i port it over into google chart not
google charts but
google slides and then from google
slides you can go to um
i mean i don't know what is it called
you can highlight the data then click
insert and then click chart and
they give you a bunch of options as far
as charts go i actually you know it's
funny
when i was in college i took this class
called like data visualization
and i mean i was like pretty into web
development back then
so i ended up like crushing the course
because it basically was like taking
data sets and then creating
like visualizations in using web
technologies
and um ended up like teaching basically
as a
undergraduate student end up teaching
that class you know i say basically
because
they didn't pay me as a professor they
paid me as a teacher's assistant but the
professor ended up
i don't remember if she got sick or what
but i ended up basically teaching the
whole course
as a undergraduate student so that was
interesting experience and we worked
with a lot of this sort of
this sort of stuff you know um
fortunately like i'm not programming the
charts
google does that for us and we just kind
of feed in the data sets
so anyways that's what i did here using
google slides and i was able to graph
both the um destination country
for the goods that were ordered vast
majority were in the united states but
as you can see here we got some traction
in australia
western europe and canada and also
i'm not that good at geography so i'm
not going to guess what country that is
there in the middle
to the north east of africa geography
not a strong suit of mine so i'm not
going to guess
i'm sure somebody knows but all right so
what's my plan for december moving
forward
more of the same honestly i i don't see
a need to
really deviate from the path that's been
working so far
at least until my full 100 000 amazon
merch slots are
are filled up because typically what
i've been doing recently and pretty much
for the last like couple years has been
prioritize amazon merch make sure that
i've got that account growing
as as rapidly as possible in this case
like i like to have my upload slots full
i'm about 10 000 uploads shy so i'm
going to keep going with this workflow
i use automate pod to create designs use
merch titans to upload them
to redbubble using automation to save
time of course
and again using a redbubble upload
template so i have a really nice really
well optimized upload template
and that is my go-to it makes any design
like i wish i could show you some of
these designs because you wouldn't think
that they would look good on every
product but you can make them look good
on every product
if you put in that a little bit of extra
effort when you create the initial
template
and again create your designs at the
same dimensions do yourself a favor that
way you can use the upload template
function and it works reliably by the
way i keep talking about upload
templates that's one of many things
covered in my very extensive
redbubble course my ryan's method
redbubble course if you're interested
there's a link in the description i
wanted to read you a quote
from somebody that joined about a month
ago
saletta so she said i wanted to drop you
a line and say thanks for offering such
an awesome course at an affordable price
point i've been
wanting to sit under your tutelage for a
while but didn't have the resources
thank you i've had my redbubble account
open for a few months and have already
generated a few sales
but honestly i banded it as i didn't
seem to have the bandwidth to take on
another pod platform
you solved that problem by laying out a
course that is succinct engaging and
informative thanks for providing the
tools and resources
so that a novice like me can quickly
grasp the overall concept with coherence
and take the steps necessary for success
i didn't ask her to provide a review she
did that completely organically and i
just wanted to share it with you guys
also if you're still watching and you're
interested i went ahead and did
something i've never done before
there's two codes available for 50
off to my redbubble course there's a
link right there in the description
if you click and it says 50 off
congratulations you can redeem it you
better do it quickly
uh and if you don't see 50 off then
they've already been used so take
advantage of that if you're interested
guys
i'd love to have you and if you have any
questions you can always reach out i'm
here most of the day
i'm a big computer nerd and if i'm not
on my computer i got my phone so
either way guys anyways thank you for
watching enjoy your saturday enjoy your
weekend hit that like button for me if
you haven't already and if you're not
subscribed and you want to do that this
is your reminder that would be awesome
i'd love to have you
but thanks for watching guys i'll see
you tomorrow
[Music]
