what's up guys so in this video i want
to talk about
orbit kit it is a print on demand suite
of tools for print-on-demand sellers but
in this video i am limiting the scope
of what features i talk about because i
know there's more
to what they have to offer but right now
i'm really only
bringing experience to the table from
one aspect and this is actually why it
was recommended to me
from somebody that saw one of my videos
from i don't know like a month ago maybe
where i was talking about my redbubble
account and how i wish i could have
it might have been my redbubble year in
review where i said i wanted to
enable masks on all of my older listings
because i had so many redbubble listings
already
uploaded prior to masks existing so
i wanted to enable the masks but i don't
have all day to go into those older
listings
and you know do the manual enabling of
those products
and somebody messaged me on my discord
server which by the way if you're on
discord check out the link in the
description join the discord server
and they said hey there's a piece of
software that can do this for you
automatically and they had checked with
the people who made the software who've
been extremely helpful in getting me set
up
and it turns out it actually works so
that's what i'm going to talk about in
this video it's called orbit kit if
you're interested stay tuned
quick reminder i run a weekly print on
demand giveaway that you can enter
completely free using the link in the
description this week
two lucky winners will win licenses to
merch titans upload automation
merch ninja research tools and all
sunsets premium pre-made
professional quality sunset graphics and
in the description i've got a link to my
free 8 day print on demand mini course
and print on demand facebook group if
you want to join
all right let's talk about orbit kit
also in the description i'll have a link
to orbit kit if you want to use that you
support the channel if you end up
signing up
but orbit kit again they call themselves
the mission control
for print on demand and they call
themselves a design management system
for artists designers and digital
marketers
so essentially it's like having your
offline
library of designs being able to move it
online to a central hub
and it's actually funny because i'm
going to do a video for my girlfriend's
youtube channel
and um you know if you guys were
following that we did like a q4
amazon merch challenge and one of the
next videos that we were going to do was
like how we organ or how i organize
my design files now that i've got
probably
50 60 000 unique designs it is crazy
and organization like i'm a firm
believer you got to be organized in
general like part of how i'm able to do
so many different business
have my hand in different businesses is
i'm super organized you know
spreadsheets and all that crap
keeping it like very on point so anyways
orbit kit essentially is like your
online hub
for designing and the way that i use it
thus far i haven't really dug into the
rest of the potential
is i've been using it for redbubble and
i want to walk you through exactly how
i set up orbit kit for my redbubble
account so what you're seeing on this
screen
if it doesn't make any sense to you
don't worry i'm going to break it down
this is when you log in though the
dashboard that you'll see
i only have one venue set up which is
currently just redbubble
so if you have more venues set up you'll
see more than just redbubble
and then what you see there um the
cookies part i think you can pretty much
just ignore uh the sync profile i'll
talk about in the blueprints i'll talk
about so
again venue the first thing you'll want
to do when you log in
is add your first venue um you'll
probably want to add redbubble
at least and you'll actually have to
download i forgot to add a slide but
you'll have to download a chrome
extension
in order to sync up your redbubble
account so that's something that
um they give you extra instructions on
how to do this as well and they have a
live support uh team that
can walk you through whatever you need
to do so you get the chrome extension
you add the venue
when it's synced up it lets you know
that it uh that it's working also you
see that my
the button there all the way to left
says pause that's because it is actively
updating my listings now i've given it
something like four or five days to work
but because i have so many listings it
is still cycling through them all
updating them
now the next thing you're going to want
to do and my chair is blocking it but
right here
i suck at pointing on the green screen
right here over my finger it says add
blueprint
so you'll want to go and grab your
primary listing like by the way guys if
you're uploading to redbubble and you're
not using the
clone function then you need to start
using the clone function it's so much
faster so much easier so much more
efficient
and a big part of my red bubble strategy
is i always optimize my designs for the
same dimensions and i try to
fill the designs up that way if i upload
to redbubble
and by the way same dimensions i should
just give you the dimensions i uh i
optimized for
4 500 pixels by 5400 pixels which also
just so happens to be the
amazon merch standard dimensions that is
no coincidence that i do that do it that
way
that is intentional now by also
filling most of the design uh canvas
area
then when i'm using like redbubble and
using
tiled patterns you know where you can
take one design and you can
use the tiling function and create a
pattern
which may look better on certain types
of products like the all over print or
the masks i like it or the socks for
instance
you know you can take a t-shirt design
that's optimized for a t-shirt
and use the tiling and then all of a
sudden it looks good on socks too
so anyways i go through i make one
really good looking blueprint on
redbubble
and then here in orbit kit i go and i
add my blueprint
okay that blueprint is what it's going
to key off of
when i tell it to go update all of my
other listings
now the next box says sync profile
and what you probably want to do the
first time although i think the default
profile worked for what i needed it to
do but i wanted to make 100 sure before
i told it to go update all of my
redbubble listings
so i click the button that says manage
profiles for redbubble
and here you can create a new profile so
on the left hand side there where it
says add profile
i click that i called this profile
enable new products all right and can
you guess what it does
all it does is it enables newer products
on listings that were potentially in
existence
prior to those new products being
launched you know like face masks
you know i have all these designs on
redbubble that weren't available on face
masks it was criminal you know that's
why i didn't sell as many face masks as
i would have liked to
in 2020 which i think is what led me to
making this video after somebody
suggested orbit kit
so after i created that new profile
you get to configure the options here on
the right hand side
and i checked the box for
do not sync title i checked the box for
do not sync description and i checked
the box for
do not sync tags i don't want it
rewriting my title description or tags
i only wanted to sync the
pro they call it the product assortment
so you see that's the only checkbox
that i did not check the one that says
do not sync product assortment i left
that one open
and then i went back and i uh set that i
guess i didn't put a screenshot in but
after i created this sync profile i go
back over to the main
dashboard i make sure that that drop
down for the sync profile
says enable new products and then from
there
go up to that first box in the top left
where it says redbubble venue
and i clicked sync exhibits now one
thing that you should know
is that before you go and click sync
exhibits well actually after you click
it it's still going to ask you like
are you sure it gives you a double
opt-in a confirm and that's always a
good idea as a web developer i know that
that's a good idea we actually teach
that in the college course
too about kind of contextually when it
makes sense
and i think this is one of those times
where it does make sense to make sure
somebody wants to go
touch you know any number of redbubble
listings in my case it's over 20
000 but you can also
go and i didn't put a picture of this i
don't know if i should have or not but
just so you guys know it's possible you
can go into your
sidebar navigation in orbit kit before
kicking off a process that's going to
touch all of your redbubble
um listings and you can have it
man you can manually say update this
listing
and for me it only took probably three
maybe four minutes
from when i clicked that button to when
i was able to go
in in a separate web browser to make
sure you know i don't want it to overlap
or anything
and hit refresh and so i was doing this
on some of like the first redbubble
listings that i'd ever uploaded
that when i was first when i was first
uploading to redbubble guys i was only
uploading to
t-shirts and i think stickers because
stickers just kind of work by default
because
when i was first uploading to redbubble
they didn't have the clone function
so you had to upload a design and do
everything manually and it took
so long you guys have probably heard me
you guys that are subscribed no
there was that day where i watched an
entire series on netflix and i uploaded
probably for 10 or 12 hours
and i uploaded 400 products in a day
manually without the clone function
however part of me doing that was i only
enabled standard t-shirt and large print
t-shirt
and stickers so only three things
because doing it manually it was just
so inefficient to do more than that so
anyways when i hit sync exhibits here
what it's doing is it's going through my
entire catalog
and it's turning on all of the products
it's based on the blueprint that i
provided
so it's as if i'm cloning the blueprint
on my old listings
so it's turning on the you know not just
the new products but
there were products back then when i
initially created the listings that i
didn't turn on every product available
so this is huge for me
i didn't think this was possible and uh
shout out to the person on discord
you know who you are i don't actually
know your real name i know your discord
handle but thank you for the suggestion
and it took me a while to get around to
actually doing this and verifying that
it works but
it in fact does do what we thought it
does and it works so that's why i'm
recommending it on my
youtube channel and if any of you guys
want to check out orbit kit or if you
want to wait i'll do another video on
orbit kit i'm going to
invite one of the um one of the guys
that made orbit kit
to jump on a video for my channel and
maybe talk about the other functionality
that it's got packed into it
so you know make sure you're subscribed
if you want to catch that video as well
but for those of you guys that want to
sign up obviously link in the
description and that's it thanks for
watching guys quick reminder i have a
full print on demand course if anybody
wants to check it out it shows you my
exact
process exactly how i make six figures
plus in sales every single year through
print on demand but that's it thanks for
