facebook group alright now we got the
business out the way let's get to these
shop reviews all right shop number one
is called pitch black teas and more from
shelton's tees only 16 designs though oh
man i'm already let down let's check out
the shop real quick they've got a
featured collection sloth love
a sloths as a niche for t-shirts sell
extremely well and i do want to
compliment the designs real quick
because these do look pretty sharp
as far as designs go like for a shop
with only 16 designs you got to
compliment the uh sloth flicks and chill
slothication i don't know if these are
actual niches or not we can actually
check
slothcation
okay maybe not um one other thing i'd
recommend doing is a little bit of niche
research because if you're the only
slothcation shirt on the internet
you may have a monopoly on it but you
have a monopoly on a niche that nobody
knows exists so um but i do like the
designs and what else you got tampa
brady yeah i'd be really careful there
about using the word brady in anything
because obvious reasons got another goat
12 shirt
um
yeah i think back to the drawing board
though with with uh getting some more
designs up on your shop
oh man check out that that background
image here that is sick
yo i really like this look at this
behind me too with the the astronaut it
looks like very high resolution too
that's cool
um so this is tommybln
joined in 20 2018 914 designs all right
featured collection trom land now i
don't know what trom land is but these
do look like some really cool stickers i
would say you should increase the
pricing on your stickers though only uh
250 i mean you're not making much profit
if they sell and i think these are
quality i mean check this out check this
design out
if you're doing original artwork you did
a really good job on these because yeah
i just feel like that would take forever
to create but these all look really nice
and it doesn't look like you're doing
original artwork these look
pixelated maybe like they were magic
wanded and i'm not a fan of people
stealing or borrowing other people's
artwork i could be wrong too but that
certainly did look magic wanded which is
a pretty good indicator
yeah you get some pretty sharp designs
though
i think you can do a better job with
like contrast as far as like the text
goes you know this is a heavy text
design
but you've got like very inconsistent
font size you've got inconsistent um
vertical spacing between the lines of
text so it's not a good look
and um
you could definitely like contrast
colors more you could contrast font
families more it's a lot more you could
do um that are better than that
there's also a very wide range of art on
your shop
even like 3d graphics i mean this looks
to me if i had to guess like a shop
where
i mean
am i wrong for saying this that like
maybe you're you're stealing other
people's images because like you've got
like such a if this is original artwork
you've got such a wide range of
different styles
and uh
i don't know have you like researched
any of these ish lib let's check let's
do all right before we move on ish
lib pills all right let's check it out
each lead pills
one result
also it's not even the design so if you
have text in a design
the text needs to be either in your tags
or in your title like i just searched
for the text that was in your design you
don't even show up
also like is this a researched niche
because there's no other products
so better niche research
graphics i would try to do original
artwork or you know you can also pay for
a design service but like
when you're entering niches like
obviously like validate them make sure
that people are actually buying stuff in
those niches right
all right next shop
linger0418 you don't have a banner image
that's okay it's not the end of the
world 605 designs let's check them out
featured collection statements irony
funny
um one thing i would mention is just uh
when you're doing these stickers
actually you have some of them that
connect pretty well but these first two
are like in fragments you see what i'm
saying on the end product there there's
like it's one sticker that they buy but
you're gonna get three little stickers
and have to self-assemble
not exactly ideal
this one's like very hard to see what's
going on
i don't know why that is
yeah i just don't think this translates
well into a sticker if you're gonna sell
this sticker guys if you're gonna sell
this sticker render it with a white
background
you know i know it's counterintuitive
especially if you're gonna like put it
on a t-shirt and stuff but like you
don't have to enable all products like
if you think this is gonna be the best
seller as a sticker
i think you're better off just uh
making it a square
and then uploading it to redbubble and
saying sticker and you can put it on
whatever else too but like it's gonna
look weird on a shirt if you've got a
background obviously
like you do have it on a shirt here and
that's kind of the difference you only
enabled by the way you only enabled four
product types is that right
it looks like it said you only enabled
four product no no you got on okay
the various types of t-shirts but
it doesn't look like you enabled too
many product types actually look classic
t-shirt which then includes all the
other t-shirts
poster
and
iphone case
view this design oh nevermind all right
you do have it on everything i was gonna
say guys make sure you create an upload
template and then just duplicate the
upload template upload your new design
uh if you're not taking advantage of
redbubble's like massive product product
catalog i would say you're doing it
wrong
all right
uh what else you got that's that pillow
looks really cool again wow look at this
everybody's a crazy artist
guys how is it i'm just saying like
where are you getting all these these
graphics and these different styles
you see what i'm saying
i don't want to say everybody's like
ripping designs off but maybe you guys
have sources
you know what i mean like this is a
crazy design style is that available for
free on the internet like should we
should we check
i don't know i'm scared too
you could do like a reverse image search
on google and try to find it though if
you cared enough too
this looks really cool too
this looks not as cool i would say just
some silhouettes it doesn't def it
definitely doesn't lend itself to being
optimized as a sticker
i would consider again doing like the
the background
this may look better actually as a um
if you were to
go extra large
this may actually look better
if you were to
space them out enough and i guess it
actually did work itself out right here
where if they're spaced out enough
they're like individual stickers and you
could call it a sticker pack
um that is also an option all right i
think i fixed some of those technical
issues that my computer's been having
i'm sure you noticed um i might have to
like invest in more upgrades even though
it's just a year ago basically that i
dropped like three grand into update
upgrades for the computer
but i am like rendering a video in the
background so maybe that has something
to do with it but either way the show
must go on let's check out walters um
redbubble shop he joined in july 2020
319 designs
featured collection word art oh he went
in and he enabled baseball caps that's
pretty cool so check that out
he's got some baseball caps going on
how are these we need to do a test order
of these baseball caps by the way
definitely about to do that for a video
because that's cool
um so i like that you're leading with
the hats
i'm assuming they can't be embroidered
it's got to be like
like uh printed on
uh as far as your shop goes this does
not
ring that that that bell of like
that you're stealing designs so that you
have a wider range of stuff here
um teal and purple swirls stuff like
this you can stay away from you know
what i mean also check your pricing 466
maybe just like find a better price
point 450 399 something like that
um but like stickers like this this is
like where really where the money's made
you know what i mean i love that you're
doing this
coffee tea me like i don't know that
that's a niche that's selling or not i'm
not gonna look but you know stickers
like this
well executed it looks like a sticker
you've got your stickers increased in
price
people put them on water bottles laptops
etc perfect
must love chickens again i don't care
what it says i'm assuming you research
these niches but perfect make a template
where you can just add text really
quickly overlay it on some sort of a
background like that that looks good
enough and just crank out a bunch of
stickers even the black text on a white
background like that that works you know
what i mean this is well done people are
like oh i don't know how to make red
bubble sales it can be this simple it
can be this simple we know stickers sell
make a sticker template and just hammer
stickers
you don't have to do that by the way but
i'm just saying if you need a place to
start start there we know what works we
know stickers work
this one as far as design definitely not
my favorite um it's like white on
very light black outline on more white
but you can definitely contrast better
than that
this one definitely a better example
here
yellow text wooden um
overlay on the uh the cross
so yeah
what else you got going on some some
pictures it looks like
i thought that was a postcard i guess
it's a sticker says travel new mexico
so you can probably save your time from
even uploading stuff like this
the abstract stuff it's a weekly like
running joke at this point that like we
always come across one shop that's got
some stuff like this uploaded and i
don't hate on you guys for testing it
out like i've definitely
uploaded stuff like this just to test it
but i don't think it ever
makes sales because nobody comes to
redbubble and types in abstract heart of
love also this looks
very grainy that is weird
like that looks like it was pulled from
google image's low resolution search
hopefully not but i'm just saying it
certainly does
all right uh overall though walter um
good shot best one we've seen so far i
bet you're making some sales on those
stickers and i love that and i think you
should double and triple down on that
all right next ritesh sapoi uh joined
august 2020 218 designs come on get
those designs going guys you can upload
50 60 a day why why did nobody have any
designs up 200 designs you could do that
in less than a week come on
featured collection called illustration
i would maybe change the name of that
and just say like on sale or something
your stickers are priced really low
dollar 35.35.35
like
are you really putting in all this work
to make pennies of profit per sale like
i you should increase those prices
also i mean there's like a psychological
component where if it's too cheap people
may be less likely to buy it so
consider that
i like your illustration styles
this design looks really really good
this one i would make the 2020 maybe a
little bit thicker
unless there's a reasoning to make the
20 20 in like a weird font that's like
scribbled
i would just make it thick and bold you
know what i mean
miyagi do karate okay so referencing
karatekit i guess i like the contrast
though in the design there
uh what else you got some of your
t-shirts here i mean we can definitely
pick some of these apart real quick
sorry that i focus on the stuff that
needs improvement but i feel like that's
like more valuable than saying hey great
job here and definitely if like if
everything's spot-on i'll give you
credit words too but like look at the
the canvas here and then look at what
percentage of the canvas you used with
this design
you could have just blown up this design
made it bigger filled up more and then
all of a sudden these mock-ups would pop
instead they're like you have to squint
and be like what does that say
okay so aim to do that eat sleep yoga
repeat here you used a lot more of the
canvas i would probably just vertically
orient the design a little bit more
towards the top so it's not just like
randomly floating in the middle of the
chest
unless that's like a fashion thing that
you wanted to do
2020 is boo sheet
again same thing i'd orient it more
towards the top but that design overall
is pretty good the word [ __ ] is a little
bit hard to read because it's at an
angle it's in cursive and it's very thin
font selection so i would probably
improve that
only legends are born in october but you
made october like see you can go into
photoshop or photopia or wherever add a
stroke to that layer of text and the
same color as the text so add it in red
it just makes it thicker and easier to
read no harm done there
if it's easier to read you're gonna make
more sales
girl power but you have red on black
i don't love the contrast um but it's
not a bad shirt it's just i just don't
love the contrast it's like a dark red
on a dark black all right last shop
wanderer bat
uh it doesn't say when you joined but
you got 449 designs and i already like
this like check out this style that you
got going on here i'm liking this a lot
a lot of unicorns we know unicorns sell
all day by the way you can do unicorn
plus a million infinite
sub niche and cross niche potential one
thing that i think could work use
improvement is the the font selection
like this font is just weird it to me
it's like too condensed vertically
i like to stretch mine out vertically
you know what i mean you can do that in
photoshop just um ctrl t hold shift and
then
drag the top and it'll stretch it
vertically uh i would personally like
when i see this that's what i think one
edit that's easy to make or just change
the font family in general i don't know
what font this is it looks like
magic marker or something but i'm just
not a huge fan of it
uh also the weird angles and stuff that
it's um everything's laid out at but i
do like the design style again if you're
gonna do it as a sticker maybe like add
a background so that the text isn't just
floating by itself because i don't think
that looks great
part irish all trouble see i like the
theme here you've got the text the
graphic i love that let's keep it simple
simple formula we know works you know
that last sticker wasn't necessarily
optimized for a sticker this one i would
say is because all one piece
want to get lucky
all right i like this good color
contrast good font size contrast good
graphic good good good another irish one
looks like you were active around st
patrick's day in a world where you can
be anything be irish
the only problem is is that like a
gaelic
font family if that's such a thing it's
just hard to read when it's all caps
like it works when it's capital letter
followed by lowercase
the all caps at the bottom i i wouldn't
have used that font family it's it's not
meant to be used in all caps it clearly
is like hard to read
alcohol doesn't cause hangovers waking
up does it's pretty funny and you got
the unicorn there very nice
i think i've sprained my liver so
another funny so you were very active
during st paddy's day
but um yeah whatever works you've got
random stickers what is this like
pictures of a book
scale of dragon wanderer fine purveyor
of wicked supplies since 1313 all right
i don't get it
scale of dragon poison hemlock
bell broth
hell broth
what is this is this like a
dungeons and dragons type thing i don't
know i'm just guessing
um
witches in shakespeare's play macbeth
okay so it's like a homage to macbeth
is this still your shop yet it is okay
same shop all right that's pretty cool
let me know if you're getting any sales
here that's kind of cool especially if
you made this yourself and you've got
like a whole think about it if you made
this yourself
granted i don't know if you have the
intellectual property rights to do this
i'm just saying i don't know i don't
want to speculate i don't like to play
pretend to be a lawyer assuming you do
you've got a nice template it looks very
nice looks very clean very professional
very old in style
um
and you can swap in and out the text
graphics as you see fit i like it
i'm i'm all for this so
compliments there and you've got like a
whole you clearly have used it as a
you know as a template so you've got it
you've milked it for what it's worth
basically so i do think you did a good
job there all right and that's it for
