group if you'd like to join
okay let's head on over to redbubble and
start these shop reviews alright
redbubble shop number one is archer25
joined july 2020 146 designs not that
many designs so hopefully you can get in
there and get some more designs up you
have a featured collection called
stickers but the first thing you see is
a pair of socks so maybe fix that and
make the
default view of that design a sticker of
course
some of these stickers do look really
nice though so i would say well done
there
they do look great in your shop mockups
uh stickers do really well on redbubble
as well so the product type is a good
selection now you got some kind of
random ones like a picture of outdoor
like public area um cheap plants so
that's kind of funny if someone buys
that sticker then
props but otherwise i don't know it
seems kind of random also increase your
prices you're selling stickers for like
a dollar and 23 cents you're not making
anything on those i mean you're making
like pennies
um some of these things could use
improvement like you know these shirts i
don't think are the best uh way of
highlighting your designs
like this kind of pastel watercolor
design
on a white shirt it just kind of blends
in so i would change at least the shirt
color and then this to me i don't think
looks like a shirt design looks like it
belongs on something else maybe a
coaster or maybe a sticker but i don't
know about a shirt design
um so you got a lot of like yoga stuff
and while there is a huge market for
that it's definitely you know
everybody's aware every seller is aware
of the yoga market and they want a piece
of it and it is uh vicious
super competitive so just be realistic
about your niche selection there not
that you can't make money in the yoga
one but it's it's tough it's tough
um overall i mean the shop is looking
pretty good i like that it's a lot of
t-shirts a lot of stickers good for
product selection your pricing probably
just needs to be updated like stickers
at 1973 aren't making you very much also
it's you know up that to 1999 right
stickers i would increase your profit
percentage to over 100
so those prices should at least double
and um you know keep uploading you you
look you probably stopped uploading you
only have 100 and what 46 designs so i
would say keep going you're on you're on
your way
shop number two mosaic muse
join december 2020 123 designs so it's
like 123 designs in a year so you're
uploading one design every
three days
you know if you guys are serious about
making money online like just
stick with it don't give up i'm assuming
you gave up or if you're spending three
days to make every design
then you should have some crazy really
nice designs right but i'm guessing
that's not the case
featured collection here stickers
some of these they do look pretty nice
check out the
the contrast here and the color
selection i really think that this is a
great example of
like
notice this is a text only design
doesn't it feel like it's more than just
a text only design but this is just text
two different font families
uh variable font size
variable colors
and they just look great together you
know like i would i mean if this was me
guys if you're watching this video pause
the video right here screenshot you know
by the way if you're wondering how i do
this with my screenshots it's called
light shot and i can put a link to it in
the description it's free
and it basically rebrands your print
screen key so if you want to just
screenshot anything on your computer and
be selective
it's very easy to do
so then i would go to photoshop paste
use the little eyedropper tool and save
those two colors because i think they
look great together and you can make
text only designs that look as good
right because you've got the color
scheme right there so just thinking out
loud here but i love saving color
schemes for things that i like and you
know what i might do is minimize this
and actually do that after i finish
recording
another great design here with the
unicorn like i'm not a big fan of like
the script cursive fonts because they
can be hard to read and i don't even
know if people can read cursive anymore
i don't mean that as a joke i don't know
if it's like being taught in schools
anymore is it like i don't know i don't
have kids i don't know i know it's not
used that much though cursive
so
the cursive though i think looks great
for the unicorn uh theme design here
this design is really nice if you made
it then well done you're a good graphic
designer um but yeah like check out the
colors i think that that's also a great
rainbow color scheme one that i may
borrow and write down for future
reference so i will minimize that as
well
so i'm loving the colors that we've seen
so far your shirts look great
a lot of them are designs optimized for
a black shirt because you know you get
really good contrast by just putting
white foreground design
on black shirt you don't need to over
complicate things guys
um the duffel bags on redbubble have big
potential but look at how redbubble
frames them so if you're gonna sell a
duffel bag on redbubble i think you
should edit your template for uploading
and
leverage patterns
okay because clearly it's very hard to
see like what this design on the duffel
bag actually says
if you don't like tile the design and
let it repeat
so if you make a template for that um
then every time you clone that template
for a new upload it'll just work
automatically but overall you're on your
way this is a great shop it sucks that
it looks like you may have given up on
redbubble just based on your upload
count but um
i think you're you're doing well all
right this shop looks really nice mary
mo
mario
miriam okay i'm struggling
mariam art i was like is there three
words in there or like mary am art but
no figured it out merriam art 90. okay
join november 2020 201 designs i love
the banner there it looks nice
professional looking uh shop logo as
well so good job on the branding
featured collection is father's day so
i'm just guessing maybe that was the
last time you were active on redbubble
because only 201 designs is not very
many designs uh hopefully you can get
back to uploading
i do like that you've got a collection
for father's day though so hey if people
are on redbubble looking for father's
day t-shirts which i think that's a
pretty common gift on father's day to
give
you know hopefully they find your way to
your shop
um bears lives matter save the arctic
so
of the of the designs that we can
actually see under your father's day
collection it looks like maybe one of
them is actually related to father's day
and the rest aren't so i would kind of
clean that up
seven collections you got some stickers
some good shirt designs there using good
colors good contrast
so i think some of these designs like
let's just compare these two designs
really quickly okay to each other
so you have this and you've got this
right
now which of these designs do you think
i like
and do you think i think is gonna make a
lot more sales yeah probably this one
right because you can actually read it
uh you've got
good color contrast you got the black
background the white foreground the red
even works
whereas this is like
very condensed and crammed into a tiny
portion of the available design area so
always factor that in when you're making
your design decisions guys
what else you have going on in your shop
some stickers sticker packs
your sticker designs are looking really
good actually
and yeah so i think it's a good shop i
would say just keep pushing new designs
also everybody that's watching take note
that they
did a lot of like sticker packs
all right and i think that's actually a
pretty cool idea
to like actually intentionally optimize
to make sticker packs so they take their
design and then they replicate it one
two three four
are they doing it in high resolution
they are you've got the extra larges
available here
so customers are getting more bang for
their buck if they actually like these
stickers instead of buying one go to the
extra large and check out you know
all right shop number four fenzin join
december 2020 77 designs featured
collection valentine's day dare i guess
that was the last time you were active
in redbubble come on guys why are you
giving up on redbubble it's still
there's still time you know what i mean
the thing about redbubble is if you make
one good upload template
like all you have to do is copy that
upload the new design and change the
primary keywords it can be done so
quickly so efficiently
that if you're still selling print on
demand
it's almost criminal not to take
advantage of redbubble right because
you're taking the time to research
design upload somewhere else i'm
assuming if you're only doing redbubble
i would definitely diversify but it's
like you can upload to redbubble and
make you know enable all the products
available so easily using the clone
function so you know don't give up on it
your featured collection though
valentine's day uh i don't know that
they're necessarily even related to
valentine's because
it's like a computer programmer shirt uh
sticker
uh a lazy bear sticker
a shirt that says will you be my
valentine it's actually a good idea but
i would these two shirts that i'm seeing
right away you know and i feel like i
say this once a week but
push the design from the middle of your
chest which is like random up towards
the top like
when you go and look at best-selling
t-shirts they're oriented vertically
towards the top they don't just sit
because like a customer that
buys this shirt has no clue that the
seller
had a canvas space to work with
and that the designer ended up just
putting it in the middle also it looks
like he stole this design because i can
see like the remnants of a magic wand
tool being used so that's never really a
best practice and it's not going to show
up well on the end result also you can
kind of tell that you blew up a smaller
design just because it looks pixelated
not high quality
so shop number five we have
fatini
fat fatenird 21 from greece
138 designs i like the branding on that
background image the uh the banner and
then also check it out on the last shop
that we have here shop number six it's
almost like you guys had a similar
approach to your
banner color scheme and whatnot so i
just wanted to point that out actually
no this might be the same person running
multiple
shops because look how similar these two
are
all right so maybe we'll just review
them together all right so they both
have featured collections one is nature
patterns
and you guys already know that these
these pattern style designs
uh unless you have good keywords like
nobody's gonna find them you know on
redbubble you need to be very direct
with your primary keywords because
low barrier of entry lots of competition
high saturation so if you're trying to
get indexed on like random keywords
it's not really going to work so i would
say select like some very high value
keywords that you know people search on
redbubble and just hone in on those
so you make my heart bloom do people
actually search down redbubble let's see
all right i typed in you make my heart
bloom
1071 results
but check it out like these
results don't have anything to do with
what i actually searched so that is kind
of a shortcoming of redbubble okay so we
have to go through 10 products before we
get to the 11th product which is
actually related to what we searched
so that's kind of not even your fault
it's redbubble's fault i would say
uh watercolor flower bouquet you know
what i mean this stuff is kind of just
random and nobody's really going to
redbubble to buy these so um not to
shoot down your effort i think you
should be commended for trying but i
would
be like like put it this way
if you don't know what you're doing like
just kind of look at what's working look
at what other people are doing that are
successful
and take a hint from them you know what
i mean because it's not just that
they're doing it as the seller it's that
they're being validated by the customer
who exchanges their money for the
seller's product right so
uh it's it's a it's a whole ecosystem
right there's two sides of it it's the
seller and the buyer and they meet at
the middle and uh the middle is is the
product that's selling so study those
um because you know the abstract like
patterns and
it doesn't really those don't do
anything you know i mean they don't sell
and you can see you've got like couple
collections related to them colorful
designs colorful patterns flowers
nature patterns let's check out sketches
because i feel like this is your best
chance to actually make sales
these are all pretty nice
um i think some of these actually look
good on t-shirts too
that sticker i don't know about the
tic-tac-toe
the white white background on the white
sticker not exactly optimized check out
that sticker
uh that's like an all-time
bad sticker not trying to be a hater but
you know what i mean the white
background didn't do any favors there i
like this design a lot though the cat
sketch i think that looks great um kind
of like abstract and uh in just a weird
way i like it
and here the crown as well
i think that looks good artsy
i don't know if i'd buy it but i think
it looks good all right and then your
last shop too i'm assuming this is the
same person
um weird that you've got the valentine
collection
okay pizza is my valentine coffee is my
valentine some cards
heart-shaped pizza with the slice coming
out pizza is my valentine
and my dog is my valentine so at least
your valentine collection is on point
here by the way you're from morocco you
have 206 designs so shout out to the
shop owner
let's see a lot of t-shirts
well-designed t-shirts though big easy
to read text you're checking those boxes
i would say you can vertically orient
your designs closer to the top though
because kind of across the board here on
row one
uh they're not oriented to the top of
the design so i think you can definitely
make better looking shirts by just doing
that otherwise just looks weird it looks
kind of awkward to have the design
floating down
the middle of the shirt you know
that's just me maybe it's an artsy thing
but i wouldn't intentionally do that
so yeah but i mean this shorts like this
are a great example of how you can fill
your shop with designs that are
definitely good enough to make sales
check it out you know what i mean it's
just text only and you've got two font
families
variable font size
you can make this sort of a design super
super easy by the way if you have
multiple computer monitors it's like i
put my photoshop here i design in
photoshop just a creature of habit
that's my preference and then over here
or over here because i got two different
monitors and then a fourth i can put you
know amazon etsy redbubble wherever i'm
looking for inspiration and ideas of
things that are selling right
and when i say things that are selling i
mean yeah like things that people buy
because if i'm actually trying to make
sales
like if that's my goal or i want to make
money through making sales well reverse
engineer how i get there well i'm going
to study what people are buying
right it's just simple logic right so
i'm going to look at what people are
buying
oh look somebody bought a shirt that
says dude i don't really care okay let
me make my version of a shirt that says
dude i don't really care
it's text only so i make it in
two minutes max probably less than that
and then i go to redbubble clone an
existing listing template
and upload the new design type in the
primary keywords dude i don't really
care i wouldn't include all the extra
keywords because i don't think that
helps i think it just confuses the
algorithm
and that's it and the whole process
takes three minutes
so fill your redbubble shops up guys
overall though i mean this is pretty
good a lot of these i think actually
have potential you guys just need to
keep uploading thank you so much for
