the the first redbubble strategy part one i i talked about add more funny food t-shirts
so these are my goals for september hopefully this strategy works for me we'll see at the end
uh when i show my september sales numbers i showed in august so you'll see in september and so the
things we're going to talk about in this part are part of my strategy add more big ticket items so
you might be thinking what are big ticket items in redbubble so here they are big ticket items
in redbubble are items on redbubble that have a higher cost so that the profit is bigger so
imagine if i'm looking for when i say big ticket items things that have a 50 dollar price tag
or more some of them actually have more than a fifty dollar price tag now so this is different
then this is one of the big benefits of being on redbubble as opposed to merch by amazon merch by
amazon i think the highest price thing there is uh probably a hoodie and you could probably
mark it up 30 maybe 40 dollars if you're lucky but there's no way you're gonna sell a hoodie
not no way but it'll be hard to sell a hoodie for more than 50 bucks right so here you can there are
some big ticket items on redbubble like this think about the base percentage on redbubble is about 20
so if you're doing something that sells over 50 you're making more than 10 profit on these big
ticket items you might be thinking well how do i find this what what is it so here is the list
let's look at that i'm going to go to redbubble now and where you check this is you check the
product pricing so we're going to go there to redbubble and see where to look for that
so here we are on redbubble i'm on my dashboard right you click on here
and let me just show you you click on here to dashboard so that's where i am
and just on the left here you go down and see product pricing so let's go to that right now
i'm going to click product pricing and you can see here the retail price and your margin
and the markup so i i showed in our earlier video that i marked up all my t-shirts to 40
by default they're 20 like i said earlier so if we scroll down here you can see things that are
more than 50 bucks t-shirts can go up to about 46 it says right here retail price we want something
over 50. so let's scroll down and see right here uh a-line dress i did not put that in my thing but
you could sell a a-line dress for over 50. we're going to look for things that are even higher than
that though so let's scroll down here scroll down no stickers will not give you a big profit margin
uh cases and skins again not very big i mean you can see ipad skins at very top it's close to 50
but it's not what we're looking for here's the art print that i'm talking about you can see at
the top the large art prints are 56 dollars retail um canvas print can go up to 110 if you're selling
a big canvas print if someone buys that so that's a big that's double right and 50 bucks again frame
framed prints here 131 dollars if you by chance get to sell one of those that's awesome
metal prints look at this up to 287 dollars margin your profit can be 47 at 20 you can get
a 47 payout just for selling one of those metal prints so you know things to think about we'll
go here throw pillow at the high end the big ones are 53 dollars here's a duvet cover 131 for your
large probably the king size duvet covers 131 so a 20 profit when you sell one of those right so
these are the things i'm talking about tapestry here scroll down here comforter 134 for the king
size the small ones start at 105. so if you can design a comforter that someone wants to buy
this is a great way to to increase your sales or your profit right and this is just at 20 so um i
don't know if there's any other ones besides that here's a duffel bag oh we talked about that at the
very high end the bigger duffel bags 55 so that's a new one as well if you can design for that so
that's what i'm talking about higher priced items take a look at that if you're not selecting those
or if you don't have a way to to put your patterns or your designs on those patterns work really well
but you can also make patterns out of your own designs t-shirt design so that's part one of
what i want to share with you is doing that we'll go back to my presentation and show you what else
works here now that we know that these are big ticket items the next thing we want to do
is a way to add stuff to it so mainly what my strategy is and you'll see in the in the next
one is that adding patterns to it so let's go back to that and i'll show you what i'm talking
about so here we are back in my presentation goals for september you may have remembered
this add more big ticket items now you know what that means those are those things that we're
talking about with a high margin a high profit and here add more patterns this ties really nice
into the big ticket items which is why i put it here if i'm going to do more patterns i can add
those patterns to the big ticket items right so this is how you're going to be designing for big
ticket items and first of all before you even do any more patterns you need to think about the size
of it so we're going to go back to redbubble and i'm going to show you how i figure out
what size i need to make it at what pixel size width by height we need to do this on so that we
can set that pixel size in something like affinity designer illustrator or something like that so you
know what size will work for all of them right so i'll go back to redbubble again here so here
we are back on redbubble now the way to find the different sizes that we're going to need is we're
going to scroll down all the way to the bottom here you may have seen this on my one of my other
videos is that we're going to go here to the help center okay so we'll click on help center here
and it's going to take us to this do we need help with buying or selling of course we're selling so
we're going to click that and then designing we're designing so oops wrong one designing here and
let's say i want to know the dimensions and formats so that's how you see it we're going
to click there and these are the dimensions for all the sizes so what i'm going to do and you
can look at it yourself when i scroll through here as i'm going to look for the biggest size
possible so that i can put it on everything right because redbubble if you make it the biggest size
you can always scale down you can't scale up so if you make something that's let's say for instance
you make this size on 2000 by 2000 it won't fit on the leggings because leggings are 4 000 by 4
000 right but if you made something bigger than that then it would fit on the leggings let's say
if you did something 5000 by 5000 it would fit on leggings and it would fit on mini skirts so let's
scroll down let's look for the biggest pixel size that we can find um i'm just going to scroll down
scroll down the 4 000 so far is biggest let's go i'm sure it's going to be bigger than that
um i'm looking down here where you're looking 7 76 but 32 that's pretty big that's for throw blankets
i'm sure duvet covers are going to be pretty big let's scroll down past the wall all right these
wall art ones are pretty big there's a nine one four four that's gonna be tough to beat so let's
look at that nine one four four was the latest oh that was the end okay so then the biggest thing
here is nine one four four i think there might be stickers notebooks postcards i'm just gonna go up
again oh jigsaw puzzles i knew was a big one nine zero seven five so that's not bigger than nine one
four four so i like to just go to the next hundred so instead of nine one four four i'm gonna do nine
two zero zero and i'm going to show you how to do that i'm gonna make it a square just so
we can fit the pattern on anything if something's wide or tall i like just using the square size
so that's real easy to remember so look at this 9144 i'm gonna go into affinity designer
and show you how to make it 920 90 200 by 9200 so let's go to affinity designer now
all right so here we are in affinity designer you can see that i've made my artboard 9200 by 9200
i'm gonna click on it you can see down here in the bottom right the width and the height
9200 pixels px for pixels if you don't know how to do that when you make your artboard just go to
document setup and make sure your document units are pixels by default i think there are inches
or something else probably inches but you can make it pixels and when you click pixels and
hit ok make sure that dpi is 300 also that's probably by default then you can go in here
and change the width so if i went in here and i changed my width and height to what i need it's
going to size it right okay so that's the size we need and then what what i want to do and part of
my strategy like i said is to make patterns right for for these so i'm going to make more patterns
as part of my strategy for september you don't even have to be a graphic designer you can take
shapes from affinity designer i use the rectangle tool here the circle tool the triangle tool and i
just made these shapes right how did i get these colors i just searched on the internet for 80s
colors palette there's so many color palettes you can do autumn color padded palettes sorry you can
do 70s color palette vintage color palette so i just took all these colors made them this
and voila just put them randomly all i did was grab this put it here right and i did
this multiple times and so there that's the pattern you can see that it's it doesn't repeat
it's just random i put this circle wherever i want it i put the triangle wherever i want it real easy
you can do that with shapes you can do that with letters you can do that with pictures or graphics
patterns are easy guys don't make it complicated so let me show you what this pattern looks like
when i put it on redbubble so let's go back to redbubble i'll show you after you want
to export this as a png and then put it on your products so let's go to redbubble and i'll show
you what that looks like okay here we are back at redbubble i took that pattern that we did
or i showed you that i did an affinity designer i uploaded it here i put in a title you know make
sure you use the right keywords some tag keywords descriptions we're not going to go into that but
that's important to do and you can see i've it didn't look good on some of these so i'll
turn on and off the things that look good it kind of looks good on some of these you know
all over print design so i clicked this sleeveless top i didn't like it with the sleeves you may like
it there this one doesn't have sleeves so check that i unchecked this the stickers and magnets i'm
not sure how many people want a whole thing like that but it looks great on phone cases right on
phone wallets on totes and pillows and floor pillows here it is on the duvets comforters and
shower curtains by default you just see the the shower curtains but it looks good on this is kind
of the size that it would be on a on a comforter so on travel vlogs it looks great on leggings
it looks kind of good i think the scale probably on leggings needs to be smaller so think about
that when you when you make your patterns it looks really big here i don't know who would want to
wear big blocks of shapes on their leggings maybe again many skirts on clothing maybe it's uh maybe
it's too big there but i'm going to put it on there scarves tablets bags notebooks journals look
how many things that it looks good on patterns look good on clocks here's prints and coasters
patterns may not look good on that but you if you want to go into the prints we
saw that those do really well you may want to do something more artwork like a like a scene
maybe something more not like a pattern you could still do nice things on there but pattern
like this probably won't work on art prints um throw blankets bath mats you know what i'll i
don't enable that i think people would like that water bottles um these are prints canvas again
i don't think it would go down on socks though it looks kind of cool right socks pin buttons
masks backpacks that came out really nice on the backpack so you can see that worked on the duffel
bags because we did it at the big size it fits on all of these it even fits on the jigsaw puzzle
um which you know i don't know how many people want to do a jigsaw puzzle of a pattern maybe
i'll enable it and aprons here so again i just click i click on these things here digital art
design illustration because that's kind of what it is it doesn't fit any of my collections uh maybe i
need to make a new one i hit no this is not mature content and i do have the right to sell these so
i'm going to save the work and that's all it is so my plan is to do more and more of these just
you know do more and more patterns and put it on more and more things and hopefully i get a sale
on some of those big ticket items so that's my plan for september part of my plan step two part
two of my strategy for redbubble that is it for this video guys hopefully this was really helpful
for you i think it is let me know in the comments if this was even more helpful than the part two
and again let me know if you subscribe to this channel put that in the comments just

all right guys thanks for staying till the end for the trend credits here's a quick one for you
um i know this video was long but hopefully this is really helpful for you this one's man i love
farming t-shirt you can see here the bsrs are really low right now that means it's trending
you can see here the results um right here 318 not so bad so not so saturated in fact not all of
these are the m-i-l-f so they're playing on that word or that acronym m-i-l-f so man i love farming
now of course you don't have to copy this i'm not saying to copy this exactly this is
one thing that's trending you may want to use the f for something else so maybe maybe it's
man i love food or man i love fishing or man i love you know so just playing off of that idea
you can see that this is is really good um right now it's selling and probably
do really good for the holidays too it's kind of a funny gif kind of t-shirt for those that
love these kind of things so this is a great gift for farmer or if you do food a great good
gift for foodie and things like that so this this is the trend for today for this video
