alright let's jump into these shop
reviews all right shop number one
from miss yuli from london united
kingdom
you have 123.0 let me zoom in one more
time
and check out what you got so you have
seven collections you got patterns plant
love
photography halloween words let's check
out photography that's
not something that we see all the time
all right so it looks like four photos
posted
i don't know how you took this photo you
look way above the mountains there
that's pretty cool
socks um the primary thumbnail that you
like put it this way if you upload a
photo i think you should be very
uh intent and direct with your choice of
a primary thumbnail
uh the reason you should do this is
because you know
standard graphic designs optimized for
t-shirts don't typically translate into
great looking designs
on products that look really good with a
photograph
right something that's more optimized
for all over print so
i was thinking you know the shower
curtain looks great um
bed sheets comforters um those things
tend to look great
uh puzzles you know like photographs
make great puzzles so i would consider
something uh like that if you're going
to do photos
as far as your designs i
can sum this up i know those you guys
that watch me every week probably
already know where i'm going with this
but like i would make your i guess this
is a hashtag so it kind of like can't be
made much bigger i mean you might be
able to get creative and make that
design bigger but like just like
scrolling through redbubble search
results like this is gonna be really
hard to stop
and see and read really quickly
you know what i mean like uh it's just
too hard to to read like look at this
thumbnail right here with this guy
you know it's like it literally occupies
five percent of the
total thumbnail you know five percent
like you want that to be
50 ideally and i know on redbubble we
don't really control it but if you make
the design bigger
it translates directly into the
thumbnail um
this one says i like plants better than
people the design's fine it's just so
small you know like that would look
great on a retail store but i don't know
about online
um same thing here same thing here and
the the cursive fonts
again it may look great in retail
but we're selling print on demand online
so i would maybe switch up the font
selection or get creative
if you're in photoshop or photopia use a
stroke
match the color and then it'll make the
font a little bit thicker
and easier to read etc okay
all right next shop von say from
august joined august 2020 seven designs
ah come on seven designs all right looks
like you put seven designs up and then
quit
uh interesting choice of
products to enable um just a general
you know what i'm seeing here is guys
like if you're gonna upload two
sweatshirts you obviously want to do
pngs with transparent backgrounds
instead of like the
keeping the white background on font
selections i would
again make them bigger bolder easier to
read uh
if you're gonna do like a a heather gray
hoodie
as your primary color then i would not
recommend typically doing a black
foreground i would typically do like a
white foreground
it depends on the heather gray color
like this this is like a dark heather
grade
it's not like the light heather gray so
i don't like the black text over top so
anyways yeah i mean that was a
yeah you definitely got more work to do
on that shop
oh ken anderson of course he's a admin
in the uh
print on demand facebook group so shout
out to ken let's see what he's got going
on on his shop 364 designs
you know what i always say ken like if
you have under 500 i always challenge
you to like
make some text only designs and just get
to that 500 mark it's not like anything
special happens at 500 it just
feels like i don't know i like seeing
the number 500 because you can get the
text only designs they can sell
you know make them evergreen they can
just be words by the way i don't know if
it works as well on redbubble i've done
it on amazon merch where i just upload
random words
they sell i mean it's not like all of
them sell but they make sales right i
don't need every single one of them that
i upload to
to sell and if it's just text and words
you're talking about the easiest design
process ever so there's also that you
know it's easy
all right you got the featured
collection photography all right that's
pretty cool
um let's see what you got girl with
earring
is that a photograph or a painting um
anyways it looks pretty cool you have
this window that reminds me of that
johnny depp movie
wasn't a giant movie like the girl in
the window or something i don't know why
it reminds me of that i saw it on
netflix it was like trending all of a
sudden i was like wait i saw that movie
10 years ago why is it trending now
be my valentine greeting card got it you
got a puzzle here
it's ambitious like see puzzles are a
great idea i just don't know anybody
that goes to redbubble to buy
puzzles unless it's like they upload
their own photo and customize it
which actually now i'm thinking out loud
for a second
this is not a bad idea to sell on etsy
and then have redbubble dropship to your
etsy customer
think about it like on etsy you create a
customizable listing
where people send you their photo and
then you make a custom puzzle and you
just have
redbubble drop ship it to them just
saying i've done that before with
stickers i don't know why it wouldn't
work with
um puzzles as well what is this black
jigsaw puzzle puzzle oh my gosh dude
these are like the hardest puzzles
on planet earth so you've got a jigsaw
puzzle
outline that doesn't actually match up
with the way that they're gonna be cut
man that is like headache city
the best puzzlers in the world probably
do that
um what else what else i like this tiger
shirt that's pretty cool
um the all-over print with the with the
stars like something like this if you
were one of the first people to sell on
redbubble would probably work all day
but you're not so it probably doesn't
get indexed on page one if i was just
guessing
um this like png
face of a tiger i do think that's pretty
cool that would have been hot last year
with tiger king on netflix when that was
popular
um i would just like the thing i'm
thinking about is like contrast when i
see these
uh stop the lies vaping saved my sister
vaping saved my mom
all right i like that it's a good vaping
shirt and maybe help them quit smoking
or is it a meme i don't know
um the colors here are cool i just don't
know if like contrast wise like i don't
know this is tough like i don't
typically upload much in these
aquatic style colors like purple neon
blue
neon green etc yoga made me do it
i like that i don't like your font
selection and as a rule of thumb i
typically do all caps on my words that's
just what i do now i'm not saying
there's a right or wrong way to do it i
just that's what i personally do
this one like contrast could be better
this one might look better on a white
shirt i don't know
it's tough it's tough when you get into
like different color schemes because
you really have to start thinking about
the both the product color that it's
mocked up on
and the foreground color of your design
well you based the product color i guess
on the uh
the four uh you base the product color
which is like the color of the shirt on
the color of your design
all right next shop art stein
from nepal 40 designs get that number up
40 designs is uh not enough
all right so your featured collection is
called art even though it's kind of
random right you got like a photo of a
pumpkin you've got this
crazy metallic like 3d rendering of what
you call a monkey head
i'm not hating on it i just think it's
weird um bold color patterns
you know nobody goes to redbubble and
searches for bold color patterns so
it may look cool but nobody's nobody's
buying that um
what else you got some like photos just
put on t-shirts randomly
if you're going to do a photo like that
select your primary product to display
it on and don't select these
t-shirts that just put it there as like
a random
like random square right pick like a
coaster you know what i mean
even an acrylic block i don't think
anybody buys those but an acrylic block
would make more sense to me
uh you've got the joe biden will you
shut up man but you didn't orient the
design towards the top of the shirt
so it just looks to me like this is a
blank shirt and then it's like oh
halfway down your chest you've got a
random floating design that
that you didn't do a good job magic
wanding the background off of
you know so yeah we'll skip to the next
shot because i mean when you're not
we're not putting in the effort it's
like
you know do you really deserve that much
time on on the redbubble shop reviews
uh weekly episode all right this shop
this one i already like look at how they
used
the header of their shop they're
featuring their designs
and it looks like their designs are
straight out of a
website that sells pre-made merch
designs now i'm not accusing them of
anything
but i mean also if you buy your designs
ready made there's nothing wrong with
that right
as long as you do it the right way and
don't steal and i don't think they do i
mean these look like these could easily
be original
all these designs look like they're
professionally done
um the niche selection is really good
i'm in shape round is a shape and it's a
pizza
you've got the i do it for the hose with
santa claus of course classic
holiday vibes with the the beach there
um
life is better with and then the dog
prints yeah so all these designs are
already amazing
um the fact that you put that in the
header makes this look extra
professional
the profile photo looks professional it
says tomsnell merch and then you match
it with the shop name
joined march 2020 almost 600 designs
well done
um you've got some crypto designs some
flowers the collec
the featured collection is called most
wanted so maybe this indicates um
you know best sellers look at the
pricing psychology he's got them priced
at 21.99
love it love it love it it's crushing it
right now
um look at the the text based designs
just right here
just right here you see this that whole
row tell me it's not easy
to read the text off of those shirts if
you can read the text easily without
having to slow down
uh that's good that's a good thing
higher likelihood of getting clicked and
if you don't get clicked you can't get
purchased right so you got to get
clicked
you got some cool all over print mask
designs
um some interesting crypto like we know
the crypto designs um have been selling
pretty well
recently make tacos not war on that one
i probably would have switched the uh
shirt color to a darker one instead of
the light
um you know just just to make any
critique
like i'm just saying i probably would
have like flipped the taco's arms to be
like white
and maybe i don't know i'm just thinking
out loud here i see why now because the
arms are black but
i think that that with that yellow it
would look looked good against a black
shirt
um what else you got some stickers yeah
i really like this shop i mean
you got so like a very wide niche
selection like he's up to 600 designs
but he didn't
skimp on things like a lot of times we
do these red bubble shop reviews and it
seems like at some point people get lazy
and just start uploading things at
random
like the um the like artsy random like
painting designs you know what i mean
every weekend or every week
we do these we see like the weird
all-over prints like
descriptions of colors and just things
that nobody searches for whereas all of
these seem like pretty well researched
niches well executed designs etc
so really well done with that shop uh
tom great job
and hopefully you're on amazon merch as
well because i feel like you'd do well
there and
hopefully on etsy as well i think you'd
do well there and you know it doesn't
hurt to be on ebay either just saying
all right and this last one monica gupta
fine art
joined doesn't say when you joined
you're from alpharetta united states and
you have 266 designs so hopefully you're
still
pushing new designs regularly featured
collection
india desi food culture funny so you
kind of keyword stuff your collection
name there it's a little weird
i don't know if that helps with anything
but um either way i like the design
right there look at the color scheme
look at the like vertical alignment and
it spells out india and you change the
the color there to white i mean honestly
this is really well executed
we should spend a second and just admire
this design so
i like we know the distressed fonts sell
well it's a nice bold
distressed font that'll probably do well
with customers
you've got a great color scheme green
blue yellow
dark yellow orange but then also you
aligned it vertically so that
india is spelled out and you used white
to highlight
india being spelled out it just looks
great especially against that black
t-shirt so this is just you know text
only design right it's only text so
everybody can do this uh but again just
the like color selection alone
to me and you could also flip this where
it's like everything is all white and
then you just
spell out india in colored text but i
think what you did here is great i think
it contrasts well
i think it's you know checks all the
boxes as far as like best practices
your stickers also look really good um i
don't know if any i wish we could tell
if these were selling on redbubble
but we can't so i but i do like them
avocado lover by the way nice uh this is
there's a
in a month there's like national avocado
day so who knows maybe you'll sell some
of these stickers
but again that looks really good
especially the mock-ups that
that redbubble generates for us here you
can see they put on a water bottle they
put it on a
what is that like a fridge put it on a
laptop i think yep laptop etc
so well done you uploaded in high enough
resolution too where they'll make the
extra large available so just a little
pro tip there
you've got the what is it called i
forget this design style what it's
called but
there's another redbubble shop that's
like it's called sugar high that does a
lot of designs very similar to this
um this one the only thing is you see
the sticker gets split up into two
which i think is like less likely to
it's probably not helping your
conversion rate
so if you're gonna upload this design
and set the primary product
displayed as a sticker you may want to
then optimize it for a sticker by just
connecting the top to the bottom
which you can do just connecting it in
like photoshop
so uh what else what else what else you
got the chai
samosa dosa repeat okay that would look
better in color probably i really like
this sticker though it says lightning
lighting nerd sorry lighting nerd and
it's like a 3d
light bulb um i love the color scheme i
love the 3d depth effect
i like the font selection i like the
contrast there you use two different
colors in the
in the font you made lighting black and
nerd orange
so well done um yeah uh this is a nice
shop as well so we got to close off with
two
really nice shops that i think are on
the right track and um yeah this is a
