Thank you. I started RB in January of this year. I am a tyro in POD, but I love designing. And though I haven't made a sale yet, I press on forward. I've tons of things to learn and though I lean toward minimalistic designs, your advice makes valuable sense.

Big ups to everyone working effortlessly trying to earn a living while building wealth. I am 50 and my wife 44 we are both retired with the net worth of over $3million with no depts. Currently living smart and frugal with our money. Saving and investing lifestyle in the financial market made it possible for us this early even till now earn monthly through passive income.

Not quite long I started investing. I'm very curious and need help on how to enhance and increase my returns. Any good investment tips would be appreciated.

[@davidreus9321]

@@alyciagordon3447 Generally, investing requires higher knowledge. For this reason, It's important to have a solid support structure (financial consultant) to guide you through especially in asset picking. I operate with (Alexandra Diana Jose) a consultant who partners with a licensed wealth management firm. For the record, the experience has been the best for my finance. She made me financially stable investing through her help, now I earn on a monthly basis through her passive income strategy... So I'd advise you do get a good investment advisor for yourself.

I'm about to start POD myself and I suspect you are going to be an epic source for guidance! I'm a designer so looking to create a unique feel and I'm prepared to take my time and watch the results...

[@hannahjoy4857]

This is the most in depth, helpful video on this topic that I've seen. (And I've watched a lot of videos about this)

[@DetourShirts]

Wow! Thank you.... I'm so glad it was helpful

Thank you for being transparent in your success! ☺️🥰😍

[@DetourShirts]

You are so welcome!

[@Jaebirdsing]

Another great video! I was getting discouraged I wasnt creating tons of designs a day like I see some other people recommend. I just did the math and it looks like I’m on track for the 100 designs within 3-6 months. I hope to actually add some to a pod site within the next month and was afraid I had to have hundreds to start. I’m going to set my goal to have 25 and I think that is a realistic number.

[@DetourShirts]

You can do it! Slow and steady is the best... don't get burnt out... keep going

[@tarot_treasures]

What a great video Juna, thank you so much! I'm just starting out and somwtimes it's so overwhelming and there's so much to do that I don't know what to do next! I've taken notes and I've already watched this video twice... I'm sure I'll watch it again in a month or so! It's helped me a lot! I love your channel, keep it up! 🙌

I had a crash courses in working with pod and I'm a local artist and I have a part-time job! I want to leave teaching soon so I can settle on one thing I love so this was truly inspiring!

[@DetourShirts]

Good luck... it's a long road but it's totally possible to do this full time if you wanted to.

[@musicteacherengel]

Thank you also for the insight about NOT scaling designs at first. I've been learning about scaling and have been thinking about doing more scaling, but as a Tier 10 seller, there are not enough slots to do scaled designs - but I'm getting them ready and saving drafts for a future day.

[@DetourShirts]

Great to hear! That's how to do it..... scale later when you have more data

[@christins.1481]

Your videos have reassured me that I'm moving in the right direction. I've researched, researched, researched. My very first upload of shirts will not be just one shirt but one shirt with different colors. My first upload of one design will have 12 different colors and that's only one design. I have two more designs lined up, one of which is going to have different colors.

[@DetourShirts]

Best of luck!

Thank you. Amazing video. can i use quote words in other t-shirts for my design using a different design? how do i check the copyright of the quote words?

[@DetourShirts]

You can use words just not famous quotes from movies, famous people, etc.... but individual words don't count as quotes unless it's a copyrighted or tradmarked word like "Banzinga".

Very well explained steps, I’m very new to this, so I should first try to upload 100 designs of mixed different niches like pets, fitness or maybe funny tshirt designs?

Yes... I would do that... along with niches that you really understand, like your hobbies or interests.... try lots of different thing to get a feel for what works for you.....just because it works for someone else doesn't necessarily mean it will work for you.

Thanks Juna! I started POD in Dec 2021 but was not really active, and has no clue how to find tags until I chanced upon a youtube video teaching SEO, then things started to change better. I got my first sale on 2/7 this year followed by another 4 sales. Though is slow at least my designs are being seen in other parts of the world (USA), I am from Singapore. Thanks again Juna!

Been trying out POD for about 2 months. Still trying to make 100 design. My question is do you use the same design in different POD stores?

[@DetourShirts]

Yes you can... once you have figured out one POD store you can take those designs to another

[@AOZ_-jk4yk]

🤩🤩🤩Thanks for the video It gave me some energy to do some designs. 😭I haven't made any sales that started 8 months ago, unfortunately I'm not very good at designing, but I'm trying to get to 100 designs I'm trying to make it as good as possible..

Keep it up

[@mistitrimble3334]

Another great video! I now have to backtrack and get out of the scaling design since I'm a newbie to POD. I suppose I was rushing to try and succeed before I start. Leaving out scaling designs though saves me so much time at this point, excited about that. Thank you again for your amazing videos!☺❤

[@DetourShirts]

[@rajeshbj7841]

I have been doing it for 2 years now. That has been little on and off for me. But I have question what amount of sales do I need to know that this kind of design works for me. Could share your thoughts on that

[@DetourShirts]

Yes... exactly why we should be testing and trying different styles and topics.... it's because we need to find out what works for us... just copying others is not a good long term strategy.... it's better to do more of what works for us.... it's a lot of trial and error.... but that's the beauty of print on demand.... it's FREE to test

[@tatyanadeniz]

Sooo good! 🔥 I found the strategy of 10 topics especially useful (and the graphic that comes with it). And I absolutely love that you used kawaii as a niche example. Cause kawaii is my jam!!!!! 😄

@@DetourShirts Anyways thanks

[@ThouDailyBlab]

Hi Juna, your videos are a big help. Much appreciate. I started on Redbubble back in early feb and have 21 sales so far. In for the long haul. So in my data (as it were) I find that one design in one style sells and the others don't and one design in another style sells while the others don't. Kinda weird. Is that typical? Also I have about 13 collections in my shop if i categorize by topic. Is it best to categorize by topic or by design style? Many thanks.

[@DetourShirts]

You are so welcome! Yeah... that's typical.... try more of those styles and test.... you can categorize by topic or style as long as you label it correctly and it's easy for the buyers to understand what you are doing... good luck

[@ThouDailyBlab]

@@DetourShirts Many thanks!

[@vickydesigns1236]

Thank you, Juna Amazing Video like before. thanks for sharing these crucial steps. I have a question, when I follow trendy niches to create a design like others do(back to school, Halloween, redbubble trendy niches, etc) I feel bored or not feel exciting. but when I do something I like means I design different things not follow trends in my own design that time I’m feeling so exciting bcoz it's different from others and I love to design this. So it's good as a beginner to follow my own path or own interest as you told in this video. bcoz many other POD influencers told in their video to follow trends to rank or get sales. but when I start my POd journey you are the first POD youtube that I follow and start learning things from my other youtube account.

[@DetourShirts]

I would actually do a little of both.... it's all about research and testing and finding what works for you... who knows your own designs may work... put them out there and test it

[@BlackCat_2]

Strange I tried to edit my previous comment but some error happened and my comment vanished. Anyway will do a shorter version in case it happens again. I enjoy your videos and they are always very informative. I would like it if you would cover using false tags or tag stuffing. I have had issues on a couple POD sites (including redbubble) with others using tags that have no relevance to the design uploaded at all. I uploaded a witch sticker pack earlier today and now it is buried. I have no issues with the designs that come up on the search that are relevant but my issue is with those whose design has nothing to do with cute witches or witches at all. I don't think this helps them make sales but I think it does hurt those who are actually using tags correctly. I would like to hear your thoughts on this and if you have already done that video then let me know and I will try to find it on your channel. - Heidi

[@pc-bh2in]

Same, my long comment was gone when I tried to edit so I had to opt for a shorter one :(

[@dashcams7472]

i agree i have found the same problem with cute witches and many other Halloween related designs but they are everywhere and tag spammer to gets me so annoyed and reporting them does nowt

[@DetourShirts]

Yeah... RedBubble really needs to fix their tagging situation.... tag spamming has been a problem for a long time.... I personally just use the tags that are relevant to my design but I agree it's frustrating to see designs that shouldn't be there and getting a higher placement on the page.

[@BlackCat_2]

@@DetourShirts Thanks for the reply. Honestly I was so frustrated by it last night that I was thinking of just stopping. Not the lack of sales, not the work... just that. I slept on it though and I won't quit. I also was annoyed by the large amount of leggings with horrible design placement. I love making the leggings possibly because I love leggings. :P I have enough for at least 2 weeks of clothing *laughs* though some are holiday only but I can get through a solid week in leggings. Anyway... my leggings designs are also being pushed down by crap placements as well as false tags. I guess I should just ignore it but it just really irks me when I take this seriously and those others seem to be just in it for a get rich quick kind of thinking - not the art.

[@Jaebirdsing]

I also find it annoying as a shopper when things that aren’t relevant come up in my searches.

No problem with hard work and produce 100 designs in 6 months.. The problem is how can you upload 100 designs when you are in tier 10???
