if people would actually do their research like in this video, we would have so many people that would earn so much more... THIS is creativity!

[@DetourShirts]

Thanks. Yes I agree. I wanted to show the process of creating a truly unique design, from idea to completed design. It takes a little longer but it is possible.

How many designs can one likely do in a month with this method

thanks for sharing your knowledge! I'm Brazilian and there aren't many people with this content grade 10. I'm learning a lot and I'm going to give my designs a "up". I wish much success.

[@Repko01]

Hey Juna, 5th like here. I subscribed couple of days ago too. I like your videos, and as someone, who is still struggling with sales on Redbubble, every good advice helps. I am just sick and tired watching couple of more channels, copying each other, now they are all rating people's stores, buying products from those stores, doing the same things, they make me sick, and on the other hand it is actually nice to see someone different, and fresh as you are, doing something that may actually help us. I guess, if more people feel as I do, more will be helped, and you will grow in the process too. Looking forward to more nice videos like this one :)

[@DetourShirts]

Thanks for your tips, you're brave sharing your store considering the high possibility of people stealing your designs. The pizza design is cool and I thought the one one with the rays around it was really nice actually. Also it's a shame you left so many product disabled that the design will look great on: mug, travel mug, clock, apron, hardcover journal, laptop cover/pouches, water bottle and even phone cases. You'll be surprised what people buy.

Hi there! New to this and loving your content. I was watching this video and thinking why not enable the apron setting for this design? It would be perfect for that! 😀 RedBubble shut my account down on my first design even though I researched it. So I'm not sure what to do now. Any thoughts or maybe a past video on this subject? Thanks Juna!

[@PedroSilva1]

I agree with you, he should activate the apron, and youth/baby clothing.

[@DetourShirts]

Thanks for the tips. I'll go back and enable the apron and youth/baby clothing. Can't hurt. If I get a sale I will make sure to mention it on the next RedBubble income report video

[@PedroSilva1]

Christine, that is not normal, try to contact them to see if there is anything wrong that you might be able to fix, they usually reply. Good luck.

[@PedroSilva1]

FYI on stickers you can go as far as 100% or some 200%, I have some stickers at 130% and the stickers still sell.

[@DetourShirts]

Woah! I'll gradually move them up. Thanks for the tip

[@stringsofgrace5591]

Seriously, i have all of my products at 30% and was thinking if its too much

[@PedroSilva1]

In stickers you can safely up the margin as I said, regarding the rest of the products, I usually mess with the margin until I get a .99 price, always around 30%ish, because you know if works in retail, why not here 😅

[@PedroSilva1]

Another tip regarding stickers, instead of just one sticker you can make one image specifically for stickers where you offer 2 or 4 of the design, it's better value because most people want smaller stickers for laptops and water bottles. And if you have some designs of a theme, you can make a sticker pack and bundle with all the designs, you just need to be careful with the separation of the items in the sticker. This way you can charge more and people won't mind.

[@SeoMaster-x7q]

is we upload our on thsirt or hoodies!! or we make other items products like tabs cover , or baby products etc!!

It's not mandatory to fill out the description. It's just helpful to have more keywords. You can skip it if you want. You can upload with the RB tshirt size. If you make it bigger than you will be able to put it on more products. 7500px x 7500px will fit most products on RB

Another idea for a video: You got the idea for what you have to make , because your shop has sales of that design. You may think from perspective, of someone, who works very hard (me) and had like 6 sales, and that's it, seems like it happen by chance. So video in that direction will help, from "clean slate". I am sure that would help many. Not necessary video, like, ok make a political t-shirt design, but in principal. Not sure if I came clear there... You may get the idea, what I meant ...

[@GusLandy]

Hi Juna, how do you feel about having quotes on a t-shirt, by famous writers or playwrights? I want to do an attribution (crediting of the source) with smaller letters on the bottom of the design (such as: "George Bernard Shaw", or “Mark Twain”, or "derived from Oscar Wilde"). Why nobody does attributions on t-shirts, though a lot of the t-shirts quotes are obviously derivations of famous quotes by famous people? Of course I wouldn’t touch modern celebrities' quotes, to avoid trademark violations, plus their “quotes” are usually devoid of any wisdom, just vacuous, patented garbage.

[@DetourShirts]

I think if it is public domain it should be fine... I think it's always a challenge to know what is "okay" when dealing with famous people.

[@GusLandy]

[@shubhendunaiya4402]

Hi, Juna thanks for the valuable content :) I just have two questions here : 1- As I can see you are using single tags like positivity, meditation, etc. so how do you get a sale when those keywords already have tons of competition? 2- What is the Featured Product that you will use for this design? Sticker or Tshirt? Or Can we upload both differently? Thanks in Advance :)

[@DetourShirts]

Here are my answers... 1. Tags are not everything. I believe every new design gets a chance to be on page 1 for some people for that tag. This is why design is so important. If your design is better than everyone else than people will buy it. When people buy it, it will be shown to more people. The question isn't is there too much competition.. The question is can you compete and design something better than the competition. 2. The featured product for me depends on what product I designed it for. Sometimes it's a sticker, sometimes it's a shirt and sometimes it's both.

[@georgemcflyhonored]

how important do you think it is to to click on what media type it is? I have a decent amount of designs uploaded and I never really clicked that, Did everything else pretty well? Do you also think 20 + keywords in tags are too spamming. I usually have between 15 to 25.

[@DetourShirts]

I don't know how much the media type helps. I think they are just categories. I use about 15 -20 keywords too. That sound reasonable

[@bindihindigangskrrresskeet3689]

Surely the first stage should be to see what the competition is like for this idea. No point spending hours on a design to find that it’s saturated. What ‘s your take on this?

It depends if you think you can compete with what is out there already... Sometimes the niche or topic looks saturated but they are filled with bad designs or just text based designs.... If you can provide the customer with something better you may be able to get a lot of sales.
