go ahead and click that link i'd love to
have you there all right let's look at
these redbubble shops
we're gonna look at six different shops
today so let's get started this first
one
looks really cool it's got like an outer
space vibe um is that like a ufo up here
behind me in the corner
it looks pretty cool it says always
original always unique lfry
art guy lfry art guy it's pretty cool
and you've even got like the same kind
of brand in your
shop profile pic you got an angel and
like a little devil
cool cool it looks like your designs are
all kind of presented
uh with this unique sort of is it meant
to be like a ufo
the only thing that i'm seeing right now
because i like the designs and i've seen
is this like the deep mind you guys know
what i'm talking about like the google
deep mind thing where it can produce
an infinite never-ending like uh
polygonal shape structures and it comes
out looking kind of like that
um i don't know i'm just thinking out
loud by while i look at your designs
anybody listening to the podcast i'm
looking at like a tapestry or a poster
it's got his ufo brand on it with like
an eye on the top of the ufo
and the background looks like outer
space like a galaxy and there's some
stars and weird shapes and
it's really well done but the thing i'm
noticing is
i don't know that your keywords are like
how many sales have you made
your keywords yet it doesn't actually
say how many
sales oh yeah because we're not looking
at etsy i like etsy because it tells us
how many sales
um you do want to like assist the
redbubble algorithm and understanding
when you should rank
and i don't know if like saying like
m-e-e
happy hatched day like it may mean
something i don't know or this is
completely over my head and this is
something that like a lot of people
understand and i don't
i don't i don't claim to know everything
but um yeah like if people aren't
searching this
specifically then it's probably not
going to get seen
you know if it doesn't get seen it's not
going to make any sales uh but this is i
mean this is really cool that you've
really got
like basically your own brand of you
know branded artwork
on redbubble and you could send anybody
like if you have your own direct traffic
you can send people or you know
guys you can go to like godaddy.com if
you if you will don't do it don't go
direct to godaddy go to google and type
in like cheap domain name
and then click the godaddy link it
should give you like 99 cents for the
first year you can buy a domain
like his domain could be m-e-e-com right
because that seems to be how he signs
his brand and then you can go into like
when you buy your domain through godaddy
which by the way they try to upsell you
a million things don't buy anything
99 cents right that's it that's all you
need to spend and then as soon as you
have it
just click uh domain forwarding like
manage domain domain forwarding and then
you can point somebody directly to your
redbubble shop so when someone types in
your domain
they'll pop up right here and then
they'll see like oh yeah here's all your
like awesome artwork with your original
character or i don't know what to call
it your original like graphic element on
there
so i do like this you don't have too
many designs up but if this is really
what you're going for for like this
you know unified theme of your shop then
um you know
sure and you've got five collections set
up too that's really nice
looks like you got some paintings here
too so maybe you're like a real deal
artist i like the vibes too i'm into the
uh
i'm open-minded let's say to some of
this stuff this theme
um outer space type stuff i did like
that shop i just wish i could see how
many sales you had made
because i'm curious but anyways shop
number two says
sweatshop design and
i don't know if that's like a good play
on words or not because think about the
negative connotation associated with
sweatshops and the fact that
it wouldn't surprise me if at least a
few of these things sold by redbubble
were potentially like sewn together and
created in sweatshops but
just maybe consider a name change there
anyways you have 61 designs up
i do like some of your uh font
selections and kind of color schemes and
whatnot
like this you've got a lot going on
in uh this design but at the same
so niche southwest florida metal
detecting with a link in the design
you know like it this is a nice job
though of um
using a lot of text but it's not
overbearing notice the contrast
of the color of the word florida and the
the font change so he's whoever he or
she
whoever made this is jamming a lot of
information into one design but like
it works then they've got the metal
detector and they've got the florida
but like the color contrast you know the
metal detector the shark the crab
it's all black you've got florida red
and then you've got
the florida text red and then you've got
the other text white with an outline
i mean this is really well done because
it's not easy to jam that much
information into
such a compact space and uh have it look
you know decent so i think you did a
good job there also i like this nurse
life mask
again another example of like nice font
selection nice graphics
not overbearing uh so i think that's
well executed and you obviously
you optimized your design for i always
get portrait in landscape i have to
think about it
for landscape the the horizontal which
is
the best way to do it for masks so
that's well done class of 2033
damn you're playing way out there uh
teachers can do anything virtually
so you've got some some big trends it's
looks to me like you watch the
top five niches of the week videos that
i put out so thank you for that
um you know it looks like you have good
designs
but this is this always brings me to
this like debate in my head right
because i don't know how long it takes
you to make these
to make these graphics and make these
designs they are good
but then it's like are you because this
is what i'm why i'm saying this by the
way you have 61 designs live
for sale and in my head i'm like if i
started our new redbubble shop today
i could get 60 designs posted before i
go to bed
and you only have 61 and while your
designs are awesome
you know it's you probably would make
more money just doing like text only
getting a bunch created really quickly
and just getting them uploaded that's
that's really what i wanted to say
because 61 is
especially just on redbubble you know
we're talking redbubble right now
redbubble
is very easy to get on low barrier of
entry you're going to have more
competition
so you want to occupy more uh real
estate on redbubble that's just my
thoughts anyways
shop number three e-t-o-i-d-e
it works etoid looks like a professional
business or something
uh this does look really cool really
well branded it's almost like a like an
instagram
on a redbubble shop or something they've
got the banner kind of split up into
four different images but that's really
cool
118 designs so again two day if i
started my new redbubble shop
right now then in two days i could have
more designs up than you
so try to get more designs up guys if
you you know if your goal is to make
money
i don't know necessarily if this is a
passion project and you know whatever
but
consider that the more online real
estate you occupy the more money you
will make
these motor motorcycle and biker shirts
are really well executed if this is
original work
um very nice graphics
you even got like shading in there and
the the way that you've got the font
there
at the bottom it's not overpowering it's
not too big too bold
like the font size is good the fact that
you did italic and it's kind of slanted
towards the way the bike is facing looks
really good so well executed there
this one's probably like a mountain bike
because it's going up a mount or it's
going like at a horizontal
upwards slant or diagonal slant this is
again another really nice
use of contrast check that out now be
careful with the logo on the helmet
you know if you pop a lamborghini helmet
on uh logo on a helmet or whatever i
don't know
i'm not into bikes but i'm just glancing
at that maybe something similar
those logos will get you in trouble
obviously that one was scaled down far
enough where you know you couldn't
really see it but
these are really nice designs though so
graphic design is
a strong suit of yours you're not going
to have any trouble in that realm
so just make sure you're assisting the
redbubble algorithm by using good
keywords especially in your title
all right let's look at shop number four
this says jen
jun jen june j gen j u n
uh 52 designs come on guys get more
designs up
more designs i know you got it in you i
know you can do it
uh featured collection valentine's day
so this hasn't been updated in a while
also it's kind of weird for valentine's
day you got like
random maybe i don't know maybe i don't
get this one it's like a sun with a
heart in it on a rainbow but this one's
got like a bunch of fruit and veggie
veggies on it
and the the primary image that red
bubble chose to show
in this collection is on a skirt so it
looks kind of weird
um you know just come through your own
red bubble shop every now and then audit
it
it's easy to make some some minor
improvements typically
i do like the waffle pillow that's
pretty cool uh here's a use of
poor contrast um so the waffling looks
cool but right here this is what i
wanted to show you guys
the light heather gray with white text
is not a great use of contrast
especially in a primary thumbnail so
you know you definitely want to go in
there and probably change the
pic pic like the the t-shirt as the
primary
product that is displayed on and then
set your color to black and then you
should be okay
um overall though you've got some pretty
generic
pretty generic niches here and sometimes
it's okay to do what that first shop did
and just niche down
into like one thing and hit it really
hard because if you just you know tackle
all of the week to week trending niches
like the second shop we looked at and
now the fourth shop
appear to have dabbled in chasing like
the top five niches of the week trending
niches and it's kind of like
hey if you don't get a sale really soon
these
i'm not saying that you can't sell it
year round but like a lot of those
things are trending like short term
and then you end up with a shop with
like 52 designs because maybe you gave
up because you didn't make any sales in
the short term
my top five niches is mainly for people
in like amazon merch
low tiers because they can just delete
the product and re-upload a new one and
as long as they make sales eventually
and scale up their account they're still
getting ahead you know with redbubble
what's your goal is it to constantly be
chasing trends or is it just to put some
products up
over time build a massive catalog and
make some recurring passive income right
that should be your goal in my opinion
shop number five joy surf lab designs
inspired by the ocean
i like again the theme looks really nice
like that
background image there at the header and
then you've also got your shop profile
image set up too
looks great from indonesia 78 designs
so you can definitely get more designs
up there so try to make a point of doing
that wow these designs look really nice
though
uh let's just check out some of these
i'm just going to open them up
look at this theme so it looks like it's
all surf themed
man see this shop like if you could just
get on etsy get on
amazon like you should be making money
because these these designs are good
this one says super tubes uh that looks
like a poster you could put on like a
wall of a restaurant or somebody's room
jeffreys bay south africa i mean it
looks professional so well done there
you've also got your watermarks on there
so people to deter people from stealing
this one's kind of a similar vibe it
says zika letta puerto escondido
from mexico and uh the surf beer that
looks like a soul beard i know when i
was there i had a soul let's see what
else okay same theme here with the
this is really nice though i mean is
this original work if this is your
original work
you should be crushing print on demand i
don't know how long it takes you to make
these but
this is sick um these graphics like
you've kind of stylized i mean
for the life of me i would not be able
to figure out how to make this style of
design
but you've got like with minimal color
usage great contrast
you've illustrated you've captured the
island vibe somehow
it's really nice this one just says
surfer babe you have a little bit of a
contrast issue here
the white shirt does not look nearly as
good if you were to do the
black shirt here so redbubble just let
me switch it to black maybe even the
dark heather gray so just something to
consider
you definitely want that primary
thumbnail to show off your products in
the best light possible
got the acrylic block here tropical
state of mexico
i'd rather be surfing in that standard
design guys this is one of those like
best-selling print-on-demand design
styles where you just have like the red
bar red bar typically in the middle it's
like the run dmc so you'd have like dmc
except don't do dmc because that's
actually a rap group
but you would put like an acronym like
three letters four letters
not typically like big words but i mean
it still looks good here it still works
and then this one reminds me of uh
something you might find on all sunsets
i know i've been looking there lately
and seen a lot of tropical designs
i don't know if this one was there or
not but it's really cool how you have
like the letters bleeding into the color
and then you've got a silhouette of a
guy surfing
over top of the colors one thing i would
mention though is like
you kind of like blurred quite a bit of
the letters into the colors
so like for instance the r the f the
whole bottom of it is like ripped into
the color and you it's it's kind of hard
to tell what it actually says
i would probably just do the part that's
connected at the bottom
but really well done though with these
designs all right shop number six
it says fine collection artwork design
okay so it kind of reminds me of
like fine art on redbubble though only
29 designs
from morocco maybe get a couple more
designs up
this is something that i see a lot of
people do i think i talked about it in a
video this week yeah i definitely did
where you center your designs uh in the
middle
vertically and i it's something that i
see a lot of like newcomers do pretty
often and you definitely want to orient
it
vertically towards the top now redbubble
makes it easier to do because you can
actually adjust
but in amazon merch for instance like
you actually need to go to photoshop or
go wherever you design and like optimize
it to be wherever you want it in the
finished product
so while we're here just wanted to point
out that's something that anybody
watching can
can just remember and improve upon um
you will probably want to stay away from
doing things like here let me show you
these two
so putting like a actual black box in
your design
because then when you put it on a
t-shirt it's like it just looks weird
right if i
swap this color to like a different
color look it's just like a black box
on the shirt that's a different color
and again it's
it's oriented in the center vertically
and should just be most likely oriented
towards the top
unless that's some some artistic thing
that i don't get and here's one that
like looks pretty good but the font
selection is so thin that it's gonna be
hard to read
you know what i mean remember most
people we're right now we're looking at
the listing
most people are just scrolling through
results so you have to pop
you know what i mean you're not gonna no
one's gonna slow down to read what it
says
so make sure you optimize for that a lot
of the stuff you have is like
vertically centered and that's not
really great
um so anyways guys i think that's that's
about it for this shop it's got 29
designs so
they definitely got some improvement
that they can do with uh minimal effort
by just uploading some new stuff and
then
fixing how they design thanks for
watching this video guys make sure you
like and subscribe quick reminder i do
have a full print on demand course that
shows you how i make six figure print on
