products that I sell on Merch by Amazon and on RedBubble. So both of these platforms if you sell
on those two platforms you might want to stick around to see which products sell best for me
of course these products are the products that i sell the best on my pod site your products may be
different i would think if your designs are like my designs and you probably would sell the same
kinds of products so it might be helpful there i also thought it might be helpful
for you to see the difference between merch by amazon and redbubble and the products they sell
redbubble has so many more products than merch by amazon so the list is going to be different
so you're going to want to stay to the end so you can see all the products from merch by amazon and
on redbubble and i'm going to give you three tips to help you get more sales and sell more products
on redbubble as well as another edition of trend credits so lots to see in this video this video
has so much information you don't want to miss this one alright so let's start off with merch
by amazon first since it's the easiest it's the easiest if you have pretty merch pro right here
and i have pretty much pro so it's super easy with that you go to the analytics tab right here oh by
the way if you don't have pretty merch pro i have a link in the description for pretty merch pro
but it is great for looking at data especially if you're in the higher tiers and you have
stuff from years and years and lots of products so you can see here
it's showing today's date by default but you can do all time so i'm going to do all
time and pretty much is saying all time from 2015 i didn't start in 2015 i started in 2017
but it's using that date i think that's when merch by amazon actually started so that's the
date here and i'm going to run just united states and you can see here it's going from this is when
i started 6917 to 404.21 i'm just going to scroll down to show you all the products that i sold so
when you scroll down a little bit you can see all the products here and this is basing off of those
my all-time products so of course standard shirts right here you can see is 60
of my sales 60 so that's obviously number one um and pullover hoodie is number two you would think
it's a another t-shirt that could sell all year long mostly i guess people wear pullover hoodies
all year long so that's number two uh premium t-shirt you can see it goes down real fast like
it's 60 here but now 15 and then seven v-neck is five percent of my sales so uh pop sockets
four percent tank top three percent long sleeve two percent sweatshirt two percent zip hoodie and
raglan to round out the top ten right and then uh of course these newer products haven't had time to
sell that much but you see i sold a bunch of them but because we're talking all time they kind of
are zero percent even though i sold 163 cases 122 pillows they're rather new so
they're not registering against these but standard church you can see i sold 36 000
standard shirts right so obviously the number one this is the top 10 for merch by amazon so
the the reason why i show you this is if you are starting off and you only have slots for standard
shirts and you want to add other products well this is probably the order i would add them in
i would definitely try to do hoodies premiums and v-necks you know if you have the spots
to do those instead of doing these down here uh these actually got me more sales so hopefully
that's helpful for you if you're on merch by amazon so that's my merch by amazon top
10. to do the red bubble top 10 it's going to be a little bit harder let me show you
they don't have a nice pretty merch i wish they had a pretty red bubble if the guys that pretty
much can get into pretty red bubble that would be amazing i had to do a little bit of my own so
let me show you how i got there so the best thing that redbubble has is their dashboard so you can
go here artist tools dashboard or you can click on here and go to dashboard right there if you're
logged in and on your dashboard you can go to sales history and let me show you what that does
so this is what you see when you click on sales history you'll see something like this
i i block these out so you can't see what i actually sold but you can see this is
up to date today is april 4th you can download this csv file the problem with that is it only
shows you the last 500 sales so it doesn't show as much data as the pretty merch did where it did
at all time there's no way to show your all-time best product sales but luckily i've been tracking
my sales since july for youtube and so i have all those sales back into july so let me show you this
so i made this table this isn't the table that comes with redbubble i had to make this myself
in numbers and you can see i've kept track of everything that i sold from july august september
all of those youtube videos they came in handy right and this is tracking about 1100 products
so of all of this you can see right here i totaled up all the products each product sold
is one so if i sold a pack of 32 greeting cards for example each one of those counts as a product
one of the things to note on here is when you get the csv file all of these are kind of separated
out so there's all kinds of different types of shirts right on here you'll see all these classic
shirts essential shirts and and all of these there's also different types of stickers that
are broken out here you can see a glossy sticker transparent sticker and just regular sticker
those are the three types of stickers as well as different types of masks so there's the fitted
mask the kids mask a regular mask and the small mass so all of those are separated out in here
so you can see that so i'm using this table to come up with my top ten so you can see
i'm just picking the biggest number the total number of sales here and i'm going to make my
own kind of pretty merch version of red bubbles so here's my version right here
my top 10 products from july 2020 to march 2021 currently so you can see stickers no surprise
it is 64 and that's just regular stickers transparent stickers like i said they're broken
and out transparent stickers is actually number two that's how important stickers are on my red
bubble sales it's one and two even when i break it out and you can see here glossy sticker the
other sticker is number five right so number three here classic t-shirt i sell stickers and t-shirts
no surprise if you've seen a lot of my videos essential t-shirt they're a little different
but that's four percent you can see i sold 64 of those and glossy sticker like i said four percent
greeting cards and that just got a bump because of the march sales i sold 32 greeting cards in march
so you can see 36 total over this time i only sold two before so greeting cards got a big boost
mask i'm starting to see masks kind of slow down but in the beginning in july right when we're in
the middle of the pandemic selling a lot of masks right and aprons number eight and number nine kids
clothes another t-shirt kind of thing and relax fitted t-shirts so you can see here t-shirts
uh stickers and greeting cards mask and apron right one thing i wanted to do to show you even
more products is to kind of group them together so what i did is i grouped all these t-shirts
uh these ones right here to make an all t-shirts category and i'm not counting tank tops or hoodies
or long sleeves and i'm just counting the t-shirts the short sleeve t-shirts v-necks are counted in
there try blend any of those right are t-shirts i'm going to group all the stickers together right
here so you can see the three stickers just going to put them together in one so you can see i'm
selling stickers and all masks i'm going to group them all in one so this is kind of what happens
all stickers is number one all t-shirts all of these is number two um greeting cards is bumped
up to three all mask is number four and you can see this so here now is the revised top ten list
after i group those together so you can see all stickers now if i group them all together
that's 74 of my product sales uh all t-shirts all grouped together is now fourteen percent
greeting cards they're still three three percent all mask three percent aprons point nine percent
so you can see it really trickles down here but these are the top 10 uh kids clothes classic mug i
sewed a bunch of those baseball t-shirts you know the three-quarter sleeves the lightweight hoodie
long-sleeve t-shirts and rounding it out these three are kind of tied so i put this one here to
a tote bag so i sold a bunch of those too so this is the revised top 10 list take a look at those
uh if you sold any of those again this is my own top 10 products list you may sell a different
top 10 if you're on redbubble right now but if you're selling stuff like mine where you're
drawing mostly for t-shirts and stickers this is probably what you're going to sell
on sometimes you may not be selling as many of these as you think so here are three tips
to help you get more sales for some of these products so the first tip here
is greeting cards if you're like me and you just put stuff on greeting cards what can happen a lot
of times is if you're just using the background things are going to get cut off on the top and
the bottom you have to make sure that you're using the right ratio so this is the original size right
here 900 by 1300 but you can times that by two or three or four if you're using this ratio right
here and you select background in redbubble your cards will look more like this instead of like
this so don't forget about doing greeting cards the right way by using the right ratio here so
these are some sizes you can use as long as the ratio isn't you know 9 by 13 that's going to fit
really well instead of giving you this cut off top and bottom because when someone sees this
over this of course they're gonna pick the one that's full then they're not gonna want uh the
white on the top and the bottom so one way you can do that is to always have a white background
and then of course they won't the white top and white bottom won't matter but if you're choosing a
colored background on redbubble then you're going to want to use this ratio right here so that's tip
number one for greeting cards tip number two has to do with mugs so you might have to make
a separate file for mugs so if you're like me and you want to just upload on everything what's going
to happen is you're going to have to size down your sticker size or your t-shirt design and it's
only going to go in the center of the mug so this is what happens by default and you can actually
put side by side which looks really funny because your design is going to be right in the middle and
so it won't show up on here it will you'll see half of it show up on the mugs what you might
want to do to get more sales on mugs is to follow the size that redbubble suggests and that's this
2700 by 1120 and then that way you can put two of them here and that's what i did on this one you
can see ones on the left ones on the right so when you see the photo of the mug now it's right there
where it should be right here and then one on the other side so these mugs typically sell better
than the other mugs where it's just right in the middle unless you have a long sentence or
something like that those might work or if you just have a pattern those will work on redbubble
but if you're just doing your t-shirt designs and putting it on a mug may not look very good right
in the center you might want to kind of separate them out so that's tip number two for mugs so tip
number three is for kids clothes and if you didn't know this already kids clothes is right here when
you're checking on t-shirt designs kids clothes is turned off by default so you're going to have
to actually go in there and click them on kids clothes kids pull over hoodie toddlers not sure
why it's turned off by default probably because maybe they think most designs aren't for kids
but you have to go in here and turn them on manually so you don't want to miss out on that
you saw that it's in actually my top 10 is kids clothes and and honestly i probably forgot to turn
some of these on so i'm gonna have to go back in through all my products and turn these on too but
some of them are on and that's why i got some sales but by default they're turned off so you're
gonna have to turn those on manually so those are the top three tips so i wanted to show you
again the top selling products that i have for my shops for merch by amazon and redbubble so here
they are if you want to take a snapshot of this now is the time to take the snapshot again this
is the overall when i separate them and these are when i group them i have kind of a revised
list when i group them so uh hopefully this was really helpful for you let me know in the comments
what your top selling products are if you want to share that if you're if your list is kind of like
this i think this was really helpful to see the differences between redbubble and merch by amazon
and if you remember it was kind of hard to find the top selling products on redbubble if you want
to go back a few months or even a year you may not have all that information so i i thought i would
share this since i have the information with me so hopefully this was helpful for you let me know in
