haha Yeah, they have many grammar mistakes there ! And thanks for the complos, though I'm still shocked when people comment on this video, it's so old LOL
I find this relevant still all these years later. I MUST be going to do well (I just started) but ALL those things you say are mistakes, well I have come across this and dealt with it because I wanted to make Jigsaw Puzzles which are horizontal, thank you! On to part 2.... 🎯🌎🌹
Yeah, this video is still valid... I did however make a somewhat updated version, based on Q&A for RedBubble: ruclips.net/video/br4L2SQjJ0c/видео.html And good luck with your puzzle desire LOL I love designing puzzles, but didn't really like what i got from RB (yet to make a video on it), I personally prefer Zazzle over them, or Society6- which has been the most amazing puzzle I have received so far from a POD supplier.
I am excited to play with the greeting cards. I couldn't figure it out. Lol. I used vertical designs for journals. 🤦♀️ But, thank you. You are awesome. Lol
Mostly for the journals I use the seamless pattern version of my design, cause I use the vertical option to the notebook, and I like that they make sort of a set :)
Nice video! I’ve been selling on Redbubble since 2018, and seen so many people make the mistakes you mention (and some that weren’t mentioned, like not putting commas between tags!), it’s kinda soothing I guess to see others complain about it too 😅 I'm gonna subscribe now :)
Commas !!!! It’s so nuts, my original field of expertise is SEO and while making this video I had like so many seo comments, but didn’t want to overdo it - and I forgot the commas !!!! So thank you for putting it out there :) I will def remember this comment when I make a video like this - on Etsy lol
Mey, I love your videos & can't get enough of them. I agree 100% with everything you said, especially regarding copyright infringement & correct grammar. It drives me nuts seeing so many sellers blatantly ripping off Pixar, Star Wars, Disney, Marvel, etc. I wish there were better QC checks in place that prevented these designs from even being uploaded. One of the reasons I love watching your videos so much (& respect you as a content creator) is because I have never seen you use any movie or tv clips that are copywritten. Just because everyone else is doing it doesn't mean it's right or legal, especially if your YT channel is monetized. Once I see stolen content like that on anyone's YT channel I give a thumbs down & click the "don't recommend channel" button. When I get the prompt from YT as to why I didn't like it, I reply back with "copyright infringement". I was a professional wedding & portrait photographer for years & don't have an issue reporting people who clearly steal. All you can do is all you can do. With regards to the grammar...OMG...YES! I had a girlfriend in high school who had atrocious grammar ("I seen this" or "Guess who I seen yesterday?" ) who went on to become, of all things, an English teacher for developmentally disabled children. (*eyeroll*) I have been following you for about 2 weeks now, binge watching your videos & am ready to launch my stores. I've niched myself down to one main popular concept but can do hundreds of variations of the same theme without repeating myself. I googled the idea & so far, nobody has done anything like what I am planning to do so hopefully this will take off like a rocket. I decided on RB & Society6 as my only 2 venues. Once I have them up & running, I would love to send you the links & have you review them when you are able. Blessings to you & yours...keep up the awesome work! Love from Jen in the USA.
Thank you for taking the time to help others with their shops. I have made many of those mistakes already but you pointed out a few things i still need to fix. The duplicate image for the cup thing. Brilliant.
Honestly, it's a thing i got from POD with Etsy. A year ago i was using the seamless pattern for the mugs on RB, but after using POD with Etsy to sell mugs I saw that the uploaded file is horizontal- so I just did it for RB too :) Happy you found it useful :) I posted a new video today with my video schedule for March, and in it I call out to people to suggest video ideas you'd like to see, so feel free to comment there too if you have any topic you'd like to see a video about :)
You are giving gem content consistently. I'm really appreciate your hard work for us. My shop have 57 designs. Still not getting any sale. Reason i have white sticker and upload 1 design for all products. It's not make sense. I'm understanding now what is the reason behind the scenes. Thanks for this valuable content. Going to watch part 2. 🙏😌😊👌
Mey, you are amazing!!! So, how do you calculate the space between the 2 identical images that you use for a mug? Another question regarding grammar: Do you use period at the end of the sentence? And, when do you use Capital letter and when not? Thank you so much for explaining these things.
Hi, Mey! Thanks for the video. Yes, please talk about having your own website to sell products. One of the reasons I'm currently building my own website is so that I can sell my products from it. It would be nice to hear your perspective on this.
Well, the next video is marketing and mindset that can fit all POD... And regarding these sites... my websites are not ones I sell at. These are blogs that I have for affiliate marketing, and they are also where I promote my own products (redbubble, Society6, Etsy). I don’t have a shop-website. But I will work on explaining it better :)
OHHH Croatia !!! I've seen so many photos of it, it looks like a beautiful country- that I one day hope to visit !!! (BTW, If I lived in a place as pretty as Croatia my Entire RB and society6 would be photography :))
You are my new guru. I've even chucked the bell on and I never do that, but you're very experienced and are answering a lot of questions I've had. Couple of further questions though... 1. If I design a girls t-shirt is there a way I can get it to show female only models? Somehow my designs are looking ridiculous at the moment. 2. Does anyone actually buy those garments with the black sleeves?
Oh wow, thank you ! (It is still somewhat of a shock to me when people comment on an older video of mine LOL) 1. On RedBubble? No. And you don't really want to :) I order my tshirts from the men's sizes as the women sizes run super small... I'm size EU40, usually get size Large for tshirts, but the women's fitted I got a size 2XL and it's still a bit tight... So I order most of my stuff from the men's shirts :) Plus, there are a lot of "feminine" designs that are super attractive to men from the LGBTQ community! 2. I wouldn't know what other people are getting, but I do know that RB wouldn't have kept that item on the list for such a long time if it wasn't selling! I myself have several of these shirt types, just not from RB :)
Thank you. After watching the video you made about designing the chess pattern for Redbubble, I went back and adjusted my designs, I’m gonna keep working on your tips in this video as well. 🥰
Ways to get more noticed ! I feel like because I'm so new to selling online / RedBubble , I do not have the exposure I need . If you could maybe go over some strategies and ways I can better gain a following that would be helpful ❤ thank you
@@caandymusic as this would be a “what not to do video” there would be less strategy talk, but I’ll try to make note about “being new” in the marketing and mindset parts :)
Good info! How long did it take to get your first sale? Also why would other sellers favorite a design? Shouldn’t people buying on the site do that? Not the artist selling on the site? Doesn’t make sense to me 😅
Thanks :) I was worried some of my things would be only for people more advanced, so it's a good feedback to hear :) BTW, I just started uploading a video with the full March schedule & an offer to design someone's cover photo, it will be up in like an hour if you want to check it out!
Hey Mey! Thanks for the video, beside the great information you provide you have a very soothing voice, i think you could cross niche between Print on Demand and ASMR!
Oh wow .... I actually thought about opening a RUclips channel for guided meditations , before I decided on a professional RUclips, cause I thought my voice would be bad for meditating lol
@@MeyTribe guided meditations is a great idea too! one thing for sure you know how to explain in a very clear way and your voice is amazing!..keep up your awesome content, greetings from Egypt
@@AhmedHedayet I think that I will probably have another YT channel later on in life... Either singing, meditations, or for product reviews... And hello neighbor!!! I'm in Israel about 6km from the border with Egypt!!
Wonderful info! I’m new to redbubble and love all these helpful tips! On a side note, are you psychic? Because you have white light orbs ALL over this video 😂
Yes I am! LOL It's the sun coming in and reflecting on the smoke from my cig, that you can't see- cause my smoking is edited out !!! And glad you liked the info :)
Very good point that you made in regards to Pexels and Pixabay!! I have just seen on Etsy 3 beach designs that I know come from these sites...people are just lazy and do not think of the consequences!!
Or they think they won't get caught, OR they don't know !! I have seen RUclipsrs make videos on how to "make money online fast" literally telling people to just go to these sites and download designs....
@@MeyTribe Hi Mey. Please can you clarify about images from Pixabay and Pexels, etc., as I thought the 'must adapt' requirement was only on images used after a certain date, ie. when they changed their T&Cs. Thanks :)
Wow, I saw quite a few products on Red Bubble, that should have been mature content, that was not covered up, as a "mature content" product. It was the first time I was on there, and I saw quite a bit of it.
I watched the video to the end and you confirmed what I say, you are compulsively buying your own designs, but in reality nobody buys products in redbubble.
How exactly did I confirm that?? LOL I opened my RB shop in 2017 and have been selling consistently till I closed it earlier this year. I haven't ordered an item from it till 2021.
@@MeyTribe Ok, good, the products on Rebubble are very expensive and nobody buys there, you can get a T shirt in walmart just for 10 dollars, I have been for 7 moths with 120 designs and I did not sell even a sticker, all is fraud I am sure redbubble has sales because the people buys their own products, and all the channels talking about how to get sales are a bunch of charlatans.
I am not a lawyer... But I do believe so :) I have a few designs of Paris & London And they are also good things to sell on redBubble like "Just a girl from New Jersey" The only thing you should watch out from is a city or state that is written like a song... for example: "I love Alabama" would be OK, But "Sweet Home Alabama" is intellectual property of Lynyrd Skynyrd.
@@MeyTribe I think I can answer that. Yes, names of cities can be used, because they're not copyrighted. However, certain images (even ones you take yourself) cannot be used dur to copyright. For example, you can use photos of the Eiffel Tower in Paris, but you absolutely cannot (!) use photos of the Eiffel Tower during nighttime, when it's either lit or sparkling. Why? Because unlike the tower itself, the lighting system is new, and therefore is subject to copyright (and lawsuits from the Paris municipality are no fun). I did hear they were going to paint the entire Eiffel Tower gold for the 2024 Olympics, which might then make the tower itself subject to copyright again, so if that's true, I'd recommend taking as many Eiffel Tower pics as possible before that happens...
What do you.do about watermarking? I watermarked my designs but it isn’t transparent. Does Red Bubble watermark? If i buy one of my not-invisible-watermarked shirts, would the watermark show up,?
Redbubble has a watermark option on the settings - o think it’s called “art protection “ I never used it, since any graphic designer can recreate most designs anyway. If you use their feature for watermarks it doesn’t effect the printing of the design itself
I have been on redbubble for 6 months with 120 designs and I have no sales yet, I am a digital artist and I think redbubble have sales because the people making designs are buying their own designs, but in reality nobody buys products there.😒
Not sure which PDF you're referring to, this is a RedBubble video and you cannot sell PDFs on Redbubble. but if you meant for printable wall art- you can't. You can never prevent people from reselling your art.
Society6 needs to clean up their act before I'd start selling on there! They have Trademarked/Copyrighted items on their splash page. Looking to have their site shut down by Disney alone!
Omg you're so right about the grammar, it's absolutely aggravating. Half of the time I don't know what the artist is trying to say
I know !! It's one of these things that make me feel weird about RB, this huge place with so much spam...
Very informative and brutally realistic.
Glad you think so! (it was what I was aiming for LOL )
I think I saw that "Your Awesome" design on RB🙂🙂🙂. You're so attentive. I feel like I can learn from time and again. Thank you Mey.
