working my way
through all the comments on that thread
and yeah let's get started i got six new
redbubble shops for us to review

through setting up the printful etsy
integration which
i know a lot of you guys crushed because
if you sign up using my link i can't see

dollars that went through in sales so
that's me clapping it up for you guys
well done and my print on demand
facebook community if you'd like to
check that out that's also where the um
the thread is for you to link to your
redbubble shop all right so if you're
ready let's get started with these
reviews
all right shop number one tgw camper
from morocco 1220 designs well done i
love that you have been consistent with
your uploads
the background image looks pretty cool
i'm assuming that's from some video game
actually that reminds me of a game that
i have played what is it um
not dota what's the other one league of
legends it's league of legends i
recognize that
used to play that man that game has a
toxic player base though i had to get
away from it
all right so you got your featured
collection of best sellers
oh no are you okay i see roblox here by
the way roblox they're going public
they're gonna ipo on the stock market in
2021 i would not
sell roblox stuff um it's so easy for
redbubble to just do an algorithmic
sweep of their catalog and look for
occurrences of that and then just pull
your products so it's not worth risking
your account
i see you're also doing some scaling out
like i'm working from home as a marketer
and i love it that's a nice idea for a
design that can be scaled out
also i mean look at the um i like the
font selection there i just want to
compliment that real quick
like the font selection with the kind of
two-tone embossed
look looks really nice against the black
background and
your um you know marker word you change
the color so it stands out
very easy to read and i really like that
also check this out another scaled out
shirt
pro gamer since 2008 so you can change
the year there
you can use automate pod from
automatepod.com to create those
automatically like literally it's a
chrome extension takes like two minutes
to set up and then you just hit go
and it just goes for you and it works
and it changes it and it downloads the
designs
so shout out to automate pod but i
really like that design
i mean that graphic of the hand holding
the controller is um
really nice and then also since it has
the the pink theme you might be able to
sell that to like
gamer girls you know and that's one of
those sub niches of gaming that may be
less tapped
um you got your collections i think they
look really great i mean it looks great
when you have at least five collections
and it spans the full width it looks
like a professional shop
so i'm all about that uh let's see
i started reading books in 2000 so it
looks like you're taking the um
a lot of the scale out one design into
multiple designs
probably automating your uploads um so
it's pretty good i feel like this
approach is
less it's not as good for redbubble for
some reason just based on my personal
experience like
when i take this approach and i do it to
amazon merch i get more traction than on
redbubble i don't know if the redbubble
algorithm just like
isn't as good at recognizing the
variable driven approach and how it and
how its keywords
in the the search function work or
something like that it seems like it's
harder to discover relevant shirts
um because if you upload 50 of like pro
gamer since 1983 84 85 86
like on amazon i know that their
algorithm will help people that this is
relevant to find it whereas redbubble i
feel like it's a little bit
less less true but anyways ultimately i
think the shop you're on your way um the
shop itself looks great you've got a ton
of different products
your color contrast and your font size
contrast i mean look at this
i'm loving it i'm not the i'm not like a
professional designer but
i just my personal opinion is that your
designs are pretty awesome like
the big word and then contrast that
against the small text
and even using color to draw attention
again to the six years old part
to me like this is a basic fundamental
approach to graphic design
you're not over complicating things and
i think it looks great and
if i knew how many sales you had i'd say
hey andy's being rewarded for his effort
but you know
redbubble doesn't tell us that so all
right next shop
vanessa berg join november 2020
166 designs all right i like the header
image i like the profile picture
the color schemes work very nicely
together
and you got some okay trend chasing
going on here
2020 was lit with the christmas lights i
like that
you have the new year tapestry 2021 with
the empty toilet paper roll that's
pretty funny
well done well done the only thing i'd
say is it looks like you took a lower
resolution graphic and blew it up
because you can kind of see there that
when you magic wanded it out uh
you can see the the pixels that are
still left over so whether you
stole this graphic or whatever i don't
know typically when you see that it's
indicative of like going to google
images and just picking the background
off
but if you're gonna do that let's assume
you didn't steal it a little trick is
you can use a one pixel or two pixel
stroke
on the outside well instead of outside
in photoshop you can do like in photopia
two you can do
outside center or inside so just do it
on center
and then eyedropper tool and select the
outermost
pixel color so in this case it'd
probably be that black uh
outline so just click that and then do a
one or two pixel
centered stroke on it and then it's less
obvious that it was magic wanded off you
know
or just you know go to all sunsets or
somewhere else and get like premium
quality graphics so you don't have to
like
background uh magic wand the background
off
all sunsets they sponsor the weekly
giveaway by the way so link in the
description if you want to show them
some love
um the 2020 was lit this is a really
nice uh i don't know sub niche let's say
and you even got santa claus on the
toilet paper that's pretty funny
i had not seen this one yet so that's
new to me but i like this
a lot um what else you got going on here
you got your feature collections up
there for holidays your
seven other collections you got a nice
uh variety of various different
design approaches like even this mexican
western hand weaving
pattern that's really cool
one thing though is i'm guessing so
if you're going to upload something like
this your keywords
are how people are going to discover you
and i just wonder if sometimes less is
more because trying to get indexed on
mexican western hand weave
pattern you know it's like that's a lot
and sometimes you can go to like just
google you know how they do the
autocomplete when you search or amazon
there's a free chrome extension called
amz suggestion expander like
you can leverage some of these tools um
there's even another free chrome
extension called
keywords everywhere all right so just
you know you can use standard google you
can use
amz suggestion expander on amazon you
can use keywords everywhere on google
i'm assuming it's still free
been a while since i used it but um
essentially it like gives you similar
search queries based on what you search
for
so if i think you can like probably
condense this down your primary keywords
in the title
and maybe say like mexican pattern or
mexican like poncho pattern or i could
be completely wrong by the way
i just in my experience on redbubble
like on etsy i'm a fan of doing more on
redbubble i'm a fan of doing less
there's just there's more listings more
competition on redbubble so i feel like
the closer you can get to an exact
string match
uh the better off you're probably going
to be so you've got some phone cases
some acrylic blocks some stickers etc
you've got a pretty wide variety of
designs going on too
this is kind of funny river stones mask
it's so random but who knows man
everybody's got their face masks
these days so who knows what sells and
what doesn't um that's got just an
interesting take on face masks
all right let's move on shop number
three moms and pops
from australia which i believe redbubble
was started in australia
and they trade on the australian stock
exchange i believe let's check on
redbubble stock i feel like we do it
every two weeks when we do these videos
all right
what are we at what are we at it broke
five dollars and it's been on a
downtrend since then
four dollars 36 cents all right just had
to peak my interest there and
keep up with it all right so moms and
pops 342 designs you've got your
featured collection called unique
with a capital n i don't exactly get it
but these designs are really nice by the
way
check out these designs
like they're keeping it simple i love
this
they're keeping it simple get some
graphics get some text
i mean this is like one of the things
that i think
a lot of us are still getting wrong is
your designs have to be good enough
right like there's a threshold in my
mind at least and again personal opinion
here
just a talking head on youtube but like
the designs have to be
good enough and that's a subjective
threshold in my mind
that like if they're not good enough
they're really not going to sell right
like i think that all these designs
you've like you understand what i mean
when i say good enough like and it can
be so simple get some graphics
get some text make the text easy enough
to read without having to click the
listing like you can see here
you know as you scroll look how easy it
is to read the text they're using big
enough
bold text so this is a great just
just i don't know i don't say tutorial
but whatever like example of designs in
my book that i really like
check out this design that's really nice
that's what i do i cook and i know
things see i'm a little worried to
upload these uh
you know these are like the spin-off of
game of thrones quotes so i'm a little
bit worried about selling those myself
because i know that they've gone after
game of thrones on like all these
platforms because i used to sell those
spin-off of quotes trust me guys come on
you didn't think i was selling the
i this and i know things like those were
selling so well back in like 2017
2018 of course i wanted my piece of the
pie and it's not like that's infringing
on game of thrones it's like it's
literally a
variation of a quote that somebody said
on tv and we've already talked about
like
if you go back in time from every book
and every tv show and every movie
almost everything's been said like i
mean clearly not everything but
you got what i'm saying within reason
right so um
all right it's not hoarding if it's
books never forget
vhs floppy drive uh that's funny
tape deck all right so this shop uh is
just doing a great job also you're
using t-shirts as your primary thumbnail
your primary product uh i am in
agreement with that i do most of my
designing
primarily optimized for t-shirts so if
you found my redbubble shop
you would see it looking basically like
this just t-shirts
this is great i love this shop um i
wonder how your sales are you know
only 342 designs just keep going i feel
like you've got you understand this like
you can take these designs and i don't
know if you're prioritizing redbubble or
if you're prioritizing
merch and just trickling down to
redbubble hopefully you're on etsy too
because you're leaving money on the
table if you're not i know these designs
are good enough to sell
so great job that's one of the best uh
shops that i've reviewed to date in my
personal opinion
all right nafi ahmed 269 designs
by the way optical illusions that's
pretty cool you should sell some of
these
as puzzles and call them like expert
level puzzles cause that is cool
um let's just check that out
you got your you got your watermarks
going to so nobody can steal
i don't know why that didn't load in
there we go because sometimes it takes a
while
yeah that's a pretty cool uh tapestry
there
you got a whole collection of them it's
pretty cool
you got acrylic pourings optical
illusions science
food baking floral see the only thing is
i'm guessing your sales aren't that high
because
remember like redbubble is low barrier
of entry and think about the easiest way
to create listings
on um redbubble it's to go and grab like
patterns
you know like the illusion patterns
floral patterns
any type of pattern this is by far the
easiest way to create listings
and i'm just theorizing here but like
we already know that there are bots that
can like rip your designs from amazon
strip the background
and create like a shopify or woocommerce
store
selling your exact replica designs
because it's happened to so many people
we know that people are out there doing
that
if they can do that then think of how
easily somebody could also automate the
creation of
simple listings on redbubble you know
what i mean like i almost think it's not
worth
doing a floral pattern design just
because like
how do you optimize your keywords to
stand out you know or like optical
illusions or whatever else it just seems
you know the acrylic pouring too like it
looks cool i'm sure these products are
awesome
when they're done when the end result
but
like having a hundred listings called
modern abstract acrylic pouring
what's the likelihood of somebody
actually finding this on redbubble
or even seeking it out i mean i'm just
guessing it's kind of low so that's the
only thing i'd say differentiate
yourself be better in
more and more intentional in your
choosing of niches
next shop weird shop with a capital e
and lowercase everything else weird 18
join november 2020 67 designs you have a
featured collection best selling it's
just called faded yellow backpack that's
about as simple as it gets
love shadow poster sun filled tapestry
so pretty basic as far as your uh
product selection there is your best
sellers lawn and order that's pretty
funny
um i like that design a lot too
sticking to that concept of like grab a
graphic put some text keep it simple
right
all right so this is kind of a weird way
to do redbubble guys like
simple designs where they're not even
really designs they're just kind of flat
colors
um like the only thing is if you're
gonna sell this like
people can go to amazon or local walmart
or target
and purchase these for like a fraction
of the price
so i don't really believe in this as in
a viable approach to
making money selling things online um
just personally speaking i'm not saying
that you can't capture some sales
i'm sure you can get lucky because
redbubble gets so much traffic but
i just it's hard for me to believe that
this is working too well
all right last shop rooster sinned and
you got a uh
that your son there in the profile
picture the branding here looks super
super professional so well done um
from watkinsville united states 131
designs you got your featured collection
just because speed limit
nope can't do it cannot adhere to the
speed limit
um that's pretty funny let's check out
some of these designs
home is where you build the campfire
that's a nice design there
i like when people see if i was a better
graphic designer
and i had more time it always comes down
to time too i would go after some
designs like this i've actually done it
in the past i have a uh
i'll share a design with you because
it's so generic i know i'm not really
worried about it but it's just
it's a trophy husband design so it's got
a trophy it says trophy husband
and i mean it's from years ago when i
had the time to slow down and make one
really good design
and when i made that design i went in
and i grabbed the
exact heather gray color from amazon
merch and then i chose my
cause like when i do designs today it's
like i'll do white text on black
background or black text and white
background keep it simple but
because you can scale those up quickly
and you know it works but when i had
more time
you know i would do things like grab the
heather gray color
choose a foreground you know text color
that complement was very complimentary
and looked really nice against that
heather gray background
and uh you know it worked i mean that
that trophy husband shirt
is such a competitive niche and by the
way i sell it for a lot because i put it
on a premium shirt for some reason i
think i did it just to stand out against
all the standard shirts and i'm
i mean i'm making five dollars per sale
so i'm charging 21 like 99
um which i mean in terms of amazon merch
is pretty good
so anyways i like this because they did
like the darker gray against the light
gray um
and then even you have like the thing at
the bottom there in the black so it lets
the black pop more too
you really don't know do you there there
there
um this one i don't really like as much
you got like a gray box with white text
against a black
tank top so that's kind of not not the
most optimal
product selection there this one home is
where you build the campfire it's a
really nice font selection
nice uh campfire graphic there that's a
really nice product
um i don't know how many people buy tote
bags from redbubble like if i had to
choose the primary
product i'd probably stick to things
like t-shirts
you know you could probably make a
healthier margin selling t-shirts in
most cases
um you should probably update your
prices like your sticker dollar 25
price your mask 780. we were just
looking at the guy selling
solid color masks and he was charging
16.67 so
um check your pricing out oh you got the
some products optimized for babies
that's pretty cool that's pretty good
that's a good idea um spring baby
winter baby i like that and you've got
it selected as the
primary product as well which i mean i
haven't really gone in too much into the
baby onesie category myself i do make my
designs available but i haven't gone out
of my way to optimize stuff for that
you've got your nashville tennessee
sticker priced at 2.50 cents i would
definitely increase your pricing there
as well as your masks probably
check out your pricing also again adhere
to good pricing psychology
instead of 9.75 charge 9.99 no harm is
done there
you're probably going to actually sell
more by increasing your price by 24
cents
um if you study pricing psychology
that's it for this video guys thanks for
watching just want to remind you i have
a full print on demand course
which includes access to my full
redbubble course which is 30 lectures
probably the most in-depth course on
redbubble out there if you want to check
