In this video i'm going to take a look at my January 2021 sales on Redbubble and compare them
to my December 2020 sales on redbubble. You don't want to miss this. Let's go!!
Thanks for joining me on this video my name is Juna with Detour Shirts

december 2020 sales on redbubble which you might have seen if you looked at this video right here
and compare them to my latest january 2021 income on redbubble and kind of show you the difference
between what is typically the best month of the year december and what is typically one
of the lowest months of the year january and you can see the difference between the two
kind of the highs and lows of red bubble and what they mean i was kind of apprehensive of
making this video i know it's a little late it's mid february when i'm recording this video and
posting it but i was kind of waiting for the whole redbubble suspension thing kind of dying
down i didn't want to release this video right in february because that's when a lot of you have
lost your accounts and may have got suspended and now i think redbubble is starting to pick up again
hopefully you got your accounts back for those that you that didn't i'm sorry that that happened
um but i wanted to show you kind of the ups and downs of redbubble so for the past three
months you've been seeing my redbubble sales go up and up and up but this time it's january and
typically the sales go down and it did go down for me and i'm going to show you how much it went down
and why i think it goes down every year so you're going to want to stay till the end of
this video so that you can see all the things i have to share with you about my january 2021
sales and at the very end i have one extra special thing as well as another edition of trend credits
so let's get started alright so here is the redbubble january 2021 sales presentation that
i made for you guys today uh i'm just doing this in keynote so i can have some slides to show you
so first of all for those of you that are new and want to know how you can look at your own sales
you just go to here on your redbubble you sign in and go to sales history on the artist tools here
and just download a csv file that's what i did you can see this is just a slide from
when i did it in november but the same thing you can do here um just look at it download right here
download as csv file and it will give you a whole table of lots of good information so in this file
it tells you all the things you need to know tells you what designs you sold how much you made how
many times you sell that like all the good things so i would advise you every month to go look
at this and this way you know what are your top sellers and what kind of improvements you can make
even what kind of products that are selling really well so this is a very very important
download that you would want to see so i use it every month it helps a lot so the next thing i
wanted to tell you that in december 2020 i had 900 designs and in january 2021 i only uploaded six
more designs so pretty pathetic so not only was it slow because it was q1 it was january 2021 but
i made the mistake of not adding design so that also will hurt me in my sales and typically i
would say you need to continue adding more and more designs every month uh and six is just not
enough i would suggest somewhere around 50 to 100 if not more i mean the more you can add to it the
even better but six that that's really low so that kind of hurt me too um just to show you
some of these things that you can see on redbubble uh you have access to your own graph like this so
you can see here you know it goes up and down up and down so there's a big spike here in the
uh the 10th and then the 19th and then the 25th i don't know why people just like buying at
different times so this will typically happen for everybody and then traffic as well you can see it
kind of goes up and down so i did get a lot of unique visitors this month and i'm very grateful
for that i think a lot of you probably visited from my youtube channel so thank you that's great
uh another thing you can see here and you can have access to this as well for yours you'll
see and i'm not showing what i sold here kind of um whiting that out but you can see uh i sold 14
you typically have products that sell your your top selling products and i had one here 14 times
in january 10 times in january this one's only two but because it was a high ticket item you can see
only with two products sold i made 23 dollars so look for those kind of high profit items as well
so one thing i like to do with that data is kind of make these pie charts so you can see
visually what sold uh in december of 2020 my best month of last year i sold 180 products and
you can see most of that was stickers 65 of those were stickers and 26 percent of those were closed
in january i sold 125 products but way more stickers so 80 of those are stickers so of course
i'm not going to get as much profit because you can see here in december i sold way more clothes
and because i sold more clothes clothes actually have a higher profit margin so because i sold less
clothes in january my profits also going to be a lot less let me break it down for you some of the
other things i found in that csv file so some of the new products that sewed in january that
i didn't sell before kids mass so kids mask i sold a few of those probably three or four
kids masks and premium t-shirts and i'm glad that i sold premium t-shirts because you can see some
of my highest profit products in january was that premium t-shirt at 9.41 profit so that is
great that is better than the profit that i make on merchant by amazon for a premium shirt so
nice nice profit margin here and the baseball three-quarter sleeves 840 profit which is
really nice and the tri-blend shirts which are nice soft t-shirts kind of of premium
um they're not calling it premium but this tri blend if you ever want like a really soft t-shirt
tri blend is a good one uh 840 profit so those are some of my higher profit i still didn't sell
a duvet cover or comforter or any of those big profit margin ones but i'll take these these
are really good so another thing i've learned in january so i only sold 17 pieces of clothes in
january on redbubble and that only translated to 114 but in january i sold 100 stickers and
even though i make less on the stickers you can see because i sold so many i made 134. worth of
stickers so there's also these other things that i sold you you know i sold mask and magnet just two
magnets two mugs but you can see my top sellers are clothes and stickers and stickers by far so if
you're on redbubble you might know you might see this as well in your account just selling a ton
of stickers so don't forget to design for stickers stickers can do really well because you can sell a
ton of those and people just buy you know five at a time or something like that so that is stickers
another pie chart i made for you guys is here so you can see the december profit my highest month
of last year 473 i'm hoping to beat that this year sometime probably in december but here january
profit is about half almost half or just a little over half of december profit and you can see the
breakdown so close accounted for 61 percent of the profit in december but clothes here only
accounted for 43 of the profit because i sold less clothes right so you can see the breakdown of both
uh stickers now because i sold so many stickers they accounted for 51 of my profit and that's
kind of how it broke down so in december you do typically sell more t-shirts because people
buy that for gifts christmas gifts and so on and in january you're not getting as many gift buys
you're probably just getting stickers probably motivational stickers to put on your water bottle
so while you work out those kind of things on your new computer that you got during christmas so lots
of stickers being sold in january so here's the kind of a breakdown of your best sellers versus
you know the onesie twosies so you can see in december i had a design that sold 19 times
that's just one design in december and in january i also had i don't think it's the same design but
i had a design that sold 13 times as well so typically what this is showing is you'll have
a few top sellers that sell 13 times in a month 12 times in a month and then you'll
have a bunch of random designs that sell only one or two times during the month and you can
see the same thing here so that's typically what happens on any print on demand shop
if you've been doing this for a long time you'll have a few really good bestsellers
and then a bunch that sell onesie tuesday and then there's a whole bunch of other ones that
don't sell at all that month so that's kind of what happens on to everybody on print on demand so
just be on the lookout for that one of the things in january you can see i i wrote this down just
so you can see and it's just so it's realistic i have 906 designs right out there on redbubble
only 39 of these if you add all these up only 39 different designs sold in january so you know
don't be surprised if none of your designs sell or if a lot of your designs don't sell you can see a
lot of my designs didn't sell in january they can sell throughout the year but from month to month
they may not sell so i just wanted to make that known here and make it realistic to you guys that
a lot more than what sales there's a lot a lot more that don't sell so you have to keep putting
designs up there putting designs up there and and figure out what does sell and kind of make this
better right so of the 39 i'm gonna look at those and find out okay what are my best sellers these
are the ones you need to look at like typically these top five right here top three or five look
at those and see what you can do to make something similar copy yourself and make something that is
kind of the same that same people that same audience might want to buy that same thing so
or your new thing right so take a look at your top sellers design more like those that's kind of what
i'm saying here so why did my profit go down well it typically goes down for everybody it's january
it's q1 it's not q4 but typically january is a lot lower typically one of the lowest
months of the year not always the lowest but one of the lowest i also sold less clothes right and
i also shot myself in the foot because i didn't upload as many things i i probably should have
jumped on some more um valentine's day designs or some more things that i knew would sell well in
january and i didn't so i kind of lost out on that and people are saving so they're not buying they
just spent a lot of money on christmas and maybe new year's and so now they're kind of holding on
to their money and not buying as much so that's typically what happens why your profit might go
down in january i know that's why mine went down in january so my goals for february is to add
more designs i gotta add more than six designs if i wanna get a better profit in february i'm
gonna concentrate on st patrick's day and earth day and some of those other trends that i know
typically people want to buy in february and i'm going to try and design for more t-shirts
and hoodies since that gives me a lot more profit and i know what sells best for me and what sells
best for me is more funny designs you're going to have to figure out what sells best for you
maybe you sell more motivational sayings maybe you sell more vintage things maybe you sell more
you know whatever it is so for me i'm going to add more funny design so you need to look at your data
and figure out what you want to add so that is it for my redbubble sales i actually have one more
thing though that i wanted to share if you heard it in the beginning i wanted to share this one
last thing just to kind of show you uh and maybe get you give you a little bit more motivation so
here it is so if i looked at january yes it is lower than my december so this right here is
january and this is december but if i go back a whole year you can see january 20
if i take this line and match it i actually almost doubled what i did last january
so year to year growth you need to look at those as well so if you've been on the platform for over
a year take a look and most likely your january to january sales is probably a big increase because
i added all the things that i did in here july august september in preparation for december
my january sales also increased over last year so that should give you some motivation to keep going
that you know you did go down from december but you actually went up from last year and if
you double all of this from next year your next december will be even better right so something
to look forward to as you continue adding more and more things to your print on demand sites
so you can see here like i said january not the lowest last year for me august was but one of
the lowest if you take the bottom three it was probably number two right there so that is it
