Hey everyone, in this video i'm going to talk about what I made in
december 2020 on RedBubble, as well as what i made
in the entire year of 2020 on RedBubble. You don't want to miss this! Let's go!!
Hey everyone thanks for joining me on this video. My name is Juna with Detour Shirts, the channel
all about helping you design and sell t-shirts online. If that's something you like to do don't
forget to hit that subscribe button right here. In this video, i'm going to talk about what I made
on RedBubble in December of 2020. As well as what I made throughout the whole year of 2020
on RedBubble. You're going to want to stay till the end for that. As well as another edition of
trend credits. I still got these going... trends for amazon, if you're doing Merch by Amazon these
trends can help you. This year I'm trying out some new things. This year I got this new mic.
Hopefully this works. Hopefully the audio's a little better. So if you're new to RedBubble
you're going to want to stay to the end because I'm going to show you (kind of) the whole year.
The highs and the lows, so you can see what's going on in a typical RedBubble shop. I think
that's very helpful for all of you that are in Redbubble. Kind of... what to expect
in this year and every year when sales go up and when sales go down and kind of.. what you
might see in your RedBubble shop. Let's get into the presentation that i made for RedBubble now.
So here we are in my Redbubble December 2020 sales and 2020 recap keynote. If you've seen any of my
other videos you might have seen this. I started this in July of 2020. You can see every month
since July I've been showing you what I've made on RedBubble so you can go back and
look at all of these videos. I've done it every month, so you can kind of see
where I was in July and how i've added more designs and made more sales as a result.
What I'm using is this CSV file. When you go to your sales history and your artist
tools on redbubble, you can download your own CSV file. It gives you a lot of data in that table.
Things like, what you sold, how much you made, what was the name of the design,
what products. All those things are in that CSV file. This is very powerful data that you can have
at your disposal, so that you can make great decisions on what to design next, what's selling
well for you and what's not selling. This is a great thing for you to have as a RedBubble seller.
One of the things that i wanted to work on in December. One of my goals was to get up to
900 designs. So one of the things you want to do is to continue to add more and more
designs to your print-on-demand shops. This includes RedBubble. So in November I had
870 designs. I added 30 more designs to round out the year with 900 designs. So currently,
I have above 900 designs on RedBubble (If you want to take a look at Detour Shirts). So one
of the things that I really liked about this is that I hit my goal of 900 designs.
This is another graph that RedBubble provides. You can see this on yours as well.
It shows you how many sales you had each day. You can see in the beginning of the month of
December there are lots and lots of sales but as we got closer to Christmas you can see the sales
dropped off. That's because people didn't want to get their Christmas gifts late. You can see
here about mid December, about two weeks before Christmas, that is when people stopped buying
a lot of things. You still got a few sales but most of the sales were before the 15th.
Here's another graph that you can find on RedBubble as well. This is unique visitors and
just like sales you can see unique visitors too. The shop
visits were really high in the beginning of the month and they kind of trickled down
after the 15th. After people stopped buying gifts for Christmas.
Another thing I wanted to show you, here is in December... you can see this on your
dashboard as well in RedBubble... you can see products sold and I had a few products that
sold really well. This is typical for every month. You're gonna have a couple of products that sell
really well. Maybe two, three, four products that sell really well. Here I've sold 14 of one design,
10 of another design here. If you go down... 8 out of another design.
A lot of those are stickers, so that's why some of these, when I just sold 2 of them,
actually made more than selling 8. I probably sold 2 t-shirts and 8 stickers and of course 2 t-shirts
can make you more profit than 8 stickers. That's kind of what that's showing there.
I made this graph here to show you the difference between December
and November. I November I sold 140 products. When in December I sold 180 products. Just a
little more in December because of the Christmas sales. You can see here I sold
a lot more clothes. 26% of those were clothes. Whereas 24% in November were
clothes. People are buying a lot more clothes for Christmas gifts instead of stickers. This
makes a lot of sense because people like to give clothes as christmas gifts instead of stickers.
Some of the new products that I noticed that I sold in December were Raceback Tank Tops. This is
interesting because it's really cold but i guess people like to buy those as Christmas gifts. I
also sold a cotton tote bag. I didn't sell that before as well. So it's nice to see that sale.
Some of the highest profit products that I had in December were Tote Bags, Hoodies and Premium Scoop
t-shirts. So these are the profits I made on those products. Here you can see...a $16 profit for a
product isn't bad. If you can make and sell a lot of those... those will do really well.
You can see here, I made this table showing that in December I sold
a lot more clothes which resulted in a lot more profit. In total I made $473 in
December on RedBubble. Here is a graph to show that... you can see here in November I made
$345 and in December I made $473. So there is an increase there from November to December in 2020.
This is the breakdown of those sales. This is the typical breakdown of most shops. You can see of
my 180 sales, one design sold 19 times. There were two designs that sold 16 times and you can
see the others...going down and down like this. This just means that you'll have a few standout
designs during the month, where they'll sell a lot. Then you'll have a lot of designs that just
have one or two sales during the month. Don't worry, that's typical in any print on demand shop.
Just like every month, different designs sell month to month. I sold 61 different designs in
December. 17 of those designs were designs that I didn't sell in the last four months.
So, just think about that. Sometimes your designs won't sell for four months. You just want to keep
them on there and you may be surprised when they sell. Just because you haven't had a sale
in four months, it's okay. It's nice to just keep uploading and uploading because you never
know when you're going to get a sale. Just like in December. Some of those sales were
designs that I haven't sold in a long time but I was lucky to get those. Typically, on any print on
demand shop, you'll get more sales in Q4. Just because of the holidays and because people are
buying christmas gifts for other people. You'll probably see that December has the best traffic
for any of your print-on-demand shops. Not only RedBubble but Merch by Amazon,
Teepublic and any of those other ones. You'll probably see the best sales and best
traffic in December. I think that is true with retail stores as well. They probably see a big
increase in December. At least the beginning of December before Christmas. I also had more
designs than I ever did. This is the month that I had the most designs. 900 designs on RedBubble.
So of course that's going to help me get more sales because I had more designs out there. Some
of my goals for January 2021.. I'm gonna continue to design for trends because that's gonna get the
eyeballs on my products and hopefully bring more visibility to my shop as well. Some of the trends
that I'm going to be working on are Valentine's Day trends and St Patrick's day trends. Those
typically get a lot of traffic and people like to buy those things for those holidays. So I'm
going to design for t-shirts and hoodies because those have a higher profit margin than stickers.
I'm still going to design for stickers but I'm going to focus on designing for things that have
a higher profit margin. I'm also going to add more funny designs. Those are the designs that
sell best for me. You're going to want to look at your CSV file and figure out what designs
sell best for you. You may sell more, you know pop culture designs. You may sell more photos,
if you're a photographer. Look at the things that you sell more of and make more of those things.
So that is it for my Redbubble December 2020 review.
Let's go into my 2020 recap, where I show you all of 2020.
So on the dashboard of Redbubble, you can do this as well, just look at a year view
instead of a monthly view and you can see this. This is my traffic sources for all of 2020. You
can see here, from January to December. You can see here, on this graph, right here in January
and February. Earlier in the year, my visitor count was really low. My traffic was really low
and started adding more and more products to my shop. My visibility my traffic started going
up and up. So you can see here December was the highest traffic. Of course it's up because
I also got lots of sales. Traffic and sales kind of go hand in hand. So that's something
to be aware of in Q4 (or quarter four) the last part of the year. You'll get a lot more traffic.
The other thing you can see on your RedBubble dashboard is your earnings summary. You can
see here, you start low in January. Kind of go up in March, April and May because of Mother's
Day and Father's Day, those kinds of things. Then it goes down in the summer and then it
starts going back up in Q4. This is typical for everyone. At least I've seen this every year.
Kind of this up and down during the year. So if you're new to RedBubble you're going to want to
look out for that. Just because your sales are low in the beginning of the year, it doesn't mean
you can't finish strong at the end of the year. You can see it's more than twice in December. So
don't give up in the first three months. It's just... just realize that it all pays off here
at the end of the year. You may be thinking... some of you are thinking...
You have 900 designs and you're only made $2,000 during the year. Yes,
I know that's not that big. So RedBubble isn't my only print on demand income.
I wanted to share with you lastly, this thing, so you can see RedBubble only accounts for 3%
of my print on demand income. I usually focus on Merch by Amazon and I have a few Merch by Amazon
videos on my channel. Merch by Amazon accounts for 72% of my print on demand income. So a lot more
than any of these combined. It's just a monster! It's because I have more than 50,000 designs on
there. I wanted to make videos about RedBubble because Merch by Amazon is by invitation only. So
not everyone can get onto Merch by Amazon. Everyone can get on RedBubble.
I know my RedBubble income isn't that great. Like I can't survive on $2,000 a year but
don't worry RedBubble is only 3% of my Print on Demand income. So that is it for this video.
Thanks so much for staying till the end. Hopefully this was really helpful for you
and your reward for staying all the way to the end is another edition of trend credits.
Here is your trend.. Your inability to grasp science t-shirt. You can see right here,
inability to grasp science. This is some of them. Here are some low BSRs. DS Amazon
Quickview is not working well because I think some of these have low BSRs as well. Let's just check
Merchant Informe. It's getting an A. Here you can see 79 products online. You can see here this sold
14 times, 14 times. So this is a great one to do. Your inability to grasp science... this could be a
funny t-shirt, as a gift for people who love the science thing. So here again.. Your inability to
grasp science t-shirts.. is a funny one here. This is trending right now, so jump on this one. Thanks
