I started on Kittl per your video, as I don't have the skills for Photoshop or Affinity. Unfortunately Kittl doesn't go up to anything past 6144k px. What do you recommend getting to those larger sizes? Also, do you find that getting the Tshirts to accept the change of colors can be difficult? I go through and change the colors but in the end there's always the active Tshirt/baseball shirt and the hoodies/sweatshirts that are resistant to change. I've contacted Redbubble about and so far I'm waiting to hear back. Thanks.
I use this technique using Artboards in Affinity Designer, I set up a template file layouts needed for redbubble matching the sizes for the products. Name them as for what is going to be used on redbubble products, that way when I export the names of the files are ready and easy to find which goes where. Then I used that template to layout the design and also make special ones for full print products. At the end I just export it all at once as png using Export Persona and woala... next to redbubble and upload them. It's a process but it helps with workflow and can optimise each design for specific product easily.
With many of my designs, I generate four versions of the design (in BeFunky): 1) The main design with a transparent BG. 2) A design with a background and a little "whitespace" around the edge (for instance a white design w/ black BG) for stickers, which I also tend to use on the water bottle and tote bag, too. 3) A version on a transparent postcard (1800x2600 or 2600x1800, depending on the design.) 4) A two sided mug (which I would not have been able to figure without your kind advice, Juna!)
For sticker designs that I specifically want as white, I will only turn on transparent stickers. For those that don't know, this is in the gear options for stickers. When I do that, I typically will make a second design in black so I can have it on white products as wel.
I'm definitely going to add the greeting card/postcard to my workflow. I make a mug version for each design, based on your previous mug template video. Love doing that; they look just great. I will make a sticker version for many, as well. I also picked up from another UA-camr to try out using a pattern for larger products like blankets and shower curtains, as well as backpacks, duffel bags, socks, etc. I find that the offset grid pattern, scaled down, often looks very nice.
Great content! I was making all of these mistakes in the beginning lol - One thing I do (because I'm lazy) is upload the 'black font' version on the postcards so that I don't need to create a special dimension file. Also, there are RedBubble templates that can help, especially with clocks because they provide numerals in various types and colors that one can use in their design.
I have an Affinity design and I benefited a lot from your tutorial , I have a store in Red Bubble but I never sold any product because of my failure to learn more
I find I am unable to make the bigger size 7600 x 7600 in Canva. My tips -If you go into the Edit tab for TShirts where the products are listed, you have to manually turn children's sizes on and choose your colour. -for colourful graphic designs I save a transparent and then another with a colour back ground for the white products. But I like your tip for word designs. - sometimes you can choose the all over pattern option if your design suits, for the larger sized items. Thanks for the helpful video Juna 👍
In 10:07, I remember it was a gear icon on the second tab. There is the place where we can activate shirt for babies/toddlers. And inside that tab is where we change the default colors for babies/toddlers clothing. After quite some time, I prefer to Manage my portfolio > copy design so each and every placement stays like how I do it for other shirt. This guide is really good. What I think I'm going to change in my process is, to change the default mug color to white (because the default black on white mug handle is ugly) and make 7600x7600 or bigger design to better fit the larger item. Thank you again :-)
I'm kinda new to this and have been thinking... how can I get the double-sided mug. It didn't occur to me to do what you showed and I haven't pursued looking for an answer. Thanks for this video, it was an answer to a few problems I was thinking about. I recently bought affinity designer and haven't quite got all the details worked out. Thanks for all the tips and tricks and especially for redbubble since that is all i have started with.
Juna, that's a great tutorial. Thank you. I learn a lot, one of those is the option settings on the caps and in the large print clothing, I always miss that, now I know... tnx
When I make designs for Redbubble I use anywhere from 4 to 10 artboards in Affinity designer. I won't go into details here. set up the boards you want (nothing on them) before you do anything with the boards click save-as. Put it in a folder. Do this with all your set ups. The next time you need a particular artboard lay out, open the folder, doubled click the lay-out you want. Bang no set up required. I now have 8 artboard layouts stored on my desk top in the artboards folder.
Yes, tiles and patterns can do grest job. 🍀🍀 so those mugs you can try what will look like with pattern(s) and if you have a seamless tile, it will most probably look great! 🍀🍀
Juna, thank you so much for all of your videos in relations to POD and Redbubble. They are truly valuable for a novice like me. Can I ask when you export the PNG file does it not need a transparent background? Thank you. Regards, Rahul.
@@DetourShirts With the method you used to export the PNG file does it automatically do this? Or do you have to go to the document settings and manually change to transparent background?
Thank you so much Juna for all your valuable videos. Could you please make a video comparing between Photoshop and affinity designer which one is easier to use and pro & cons for both of them.
juna could you please talk about how to fix things on tee public, i have a lot of trouble there in editing and sometimes totally lose the image and i cant figure out how to get it back. thanks, i watch you most everyday, you are my favorite on you tube.
Thanks for the content. Do you actually do this for every item or do you just turn off products that you don’t typically sell? I would think by now you have a pretty good idea of the types of products that sell for you. I love your channel btw. ❤
Thanks for the video!!!!! I have a question concerning color of shirt and color of design. If I have a design with a black font for a white shirt and want to have the same design with white font for a black shirt, can I upload different designs for the shirt? So the white shirt has the black font and the black shirt has the white font? Thank you again!
Hi Juna, thanks so much for the tutorial! What do you do about designs that show up differently on different colored shirts? I have some t-shirts that I used black lettering on white, but on black I use white lettering, for example. It's not a different product that I can create a different design for. It's 2 different designs for the same t-shirt, but just with different colors in the designs. Is there anything to get around that? I'm not sure if I'm making my question clear, so sorry about that....
It's a great question and honestly you can't do anything besides pick the default color....RedBubble still let's people see the other colors for some reason. I really wish they had an option to pick all the colors....so I would do two uploads with the two different designs
Canva users can use cm rather than pixels.. I have standard sizes in cm for small products like cards,pads masks etc.. One size for wide products, one size foe narrow products..
Hey Juna Great Content man. Been Following you for a long time. Just wanted to ask a question about uploading different version for same design on different products. Does Redbubble count this different upload in their daily upload limit? I mean if we upload same design version for different products . Thanks man.
This is a really basic question but if you were to pick pink as a background color on a shower curtain for instance would the shower curtain be all over pink and then your design on top of that? Or, a pillow, can you choose the actual pillow color other than the standard white? I'm confused with regards to the underlying printing method. I get black and white but can you use any color options on products other than the standard clothing?
Another great video. I am making some of these mistakes and I tried fixing the postcard but it appears that I cannot separate the post card image from the image used for the poster ... and therefore the postcard image is not large enough for the poster... What am I missing ?
You are so right... I designed for the postcard only but not the poster.... the biggest poster is 5000x7100... you should change your design to that size and you won't have a problem.... thanks for catching that.
I spoke with RedBubble a while ago, and they recommended to use 6480x7632 (WxH) to fit most of the large products perfectly. But of course, the rest of them would need to be tweaked, as you said. I found that those dimensions work well for me and I’ve been using them since the get-go. Thanks for the vid … great info.
AGAIN, sooo timely -- earlier today, just up/down loaded a bunch of designs to 'my' redbubble store A-N-D did just what you are advising us to do BEFORE I viewed this video. THANK YOU!! Initially did the 'disable' option on items I thought did not fit my 'profile' style BEFORE clicking the 'Edit' button. Out of sheer curiosity, on 1 design download, I gave it a try &, lo & behold, MORE REALLY COOL OPTIONS as you mention here!!@# Since am only partially clairvoyant, will continue to PAY ATTENTION!!@#$% As usual, my man - THANKS AGAIN!! Later, 'nuf said, ALOHA 4 now...🤪🙃🙈🙉🙊
@@DetourShirts yeah, had to Delete a couple that were inferior after further inspection! Really appreciate your insights & personal examples on how to implement your info. Truly amazing! MAHALO NUI LOA!! L8R...
Hi Juna, hope you will reply to this. Great tutorial and I am stuck due to a problem. I was repeating exactly what you were doing from (15.38 - 15.50) but in my design a few graphics went missing after changing their resolution( my designs have multiple graphics). When making a selection by clicking and dragging the mouse the elements are visible but cannot be seen later. I hope you have understood my issue. Looking forward to hearing from you. Thanks in advance
You probably have things in your design that are lines or text or something else..... Make sure your original design is one piece like a PNG or one graphic.... I think the different parts of your design are messing it up.
You can do either... I did white just because I know the background will be white... but transparent would work as long as you choose the background color of white on the mug in RedBubble
Hey, I have a question about marketing your store, do you think that you need to create a FB account for every niche or can you have all the niches in one account?
When I did postcard size in the past it stopped by default the posters etc and only did the postcard and greeting card and nothing else. To get round this I changed the size to 6000 x 4000 px for all in this option only and made sure the background on RB was the colour ie black and this worked on alot of designs, hope this helps someone.
Not every product needs this kind of attention... Cards and mugs do but a lot of the other ones you can just zoom in and out if you have a design that is big enough
I have a general store, a vintage store, a kids store, and a religious store. I also have a general store on cafepress that I am going to try to work on. Right now, I am just storing some pictures there in case one of my stores on Redbubble gets shut down. I love Redbubble but one thing I don't like about it is there is no phone support so they refuse to tell you why a store was shut down and ignore your emails if you are telling them anything about your store that was shut down. So this makes sellers nervous because we put so much effort in, and it is unfair to just shut our store down for one design that is not even copyrighted.
Thanks for sharing....I've been hearing that a lot... I don't know what's happening over there... I hope it doesn't happen to you... all we can do is keep uploading safe designs and practice safe uploading procedures... no copyright or trademark and no tag spamming.... good luck.
Juna - how can I change text to have a variety of colors - such as rainbow colors across a phrase like "kindness matters?" I found how to do a 2 color option but I can't tell how to add more than two colors to a word or phrase. Thanks! Your video's have helped me so much and I love how easy and thorough your content is....well done and thanks so much!
Juno, thanks for this video. I have a Redbubble account and I have done what you are showing here, but there is still an issue with the colors. In the Standard Print Clothing, I set the color on white because of my design (red and blue), but the Active T-Shirt shows up in black, and Lightweight Hoodie and Lightweight sweatshirt in gray. The rest of the tees are white as I want them to be. Any tips please? Thank you.
I'm guessing you are doing it right and picking the colors for each product... RedBubble is weird though... they don't have white for the Active T-Shirt so they just put it on black.... same with the lightweight hoodie and sweatshirt... they don't have white so they put it on gray... I would just leave it... that's the best you are going to get... sorry
How do you change the color of the active tshirt, the lightweight hoodie, and lightweight sweatshirt? when i finish and it shows preview the active tshirt is black and the other 2 are gray. I want them to be white like the rest of my shirts.
Great question... the active shirt only comes in 3 dark colors...and the hoodie and sweatshirt don't have a white option so RedBubble chooses the closest color which would be gray.
Juna, this is a GREAT video! So how do I scale down a .png file to under 25 MB and to under 5 MB? The one I made is 30 MB. I have Affinity Designer and Canva. Thanks in advance!
hi. is there a way i can fix the product like backpack to include ? i tried it several times but everytime i save it. it doesn’t include it my product listing
If you are doing your design in Canva you will need to copy that design and change the white text to something dark (I just like using black). White text will not show up on stickers. Click on the sticker when uploading and upload the design with the dark letters just for stickers. Do the same for anything else that only has a light background like the tote bags.
Helpful tutorial Juna, thanks. Another thing I don't like on Redbubble is that you can't adjust the designs on the kids' Tees and Onsies as by default the design is positioned so low towards the stomach! Also they group certain products together which shouldn't be grouped together hence, when you want to scale a pattern up and down, you're forced to have the same scale on products. Like in some products in the same group, I want a smaller scale of the pattern and on they other a bigger scale of the pattern but it's impossible to scale them individually. I wish they left all the products to be edited individually. They don't listen to feedback from artists either. I really like the stylish simplicity of your logo, what is that typeface please, if you don't mind? Thanks.
Do u have any videos teaching marketing for POD? There’s so many graphic design tutorials, I’m a graphic designer already I do t need any more education in that. So how does one create a sustainable career out of this?
Marketing is huge if you are selling on your own website but if you you sell on Amazon, RedBubble, TeePublic, etc you don't need much marketing if you are designing for the audiences on those sites..... create something good for those audiences and they will find you.
@@DetourShirts i dont believe you, theres always something that can be done to promote your POD store, if my livelyhood depends on customers i cant just be passive and wait for redbubble to to suggest my store to people. And also then, how would i market from my own website?
I'm not saying you can't. It's just that ads can get really expensive if you are going the traditional route but if you want to advertise I would suggest starting a newsletter subscription, do more social media (twitter, instagram, tik tok, pinterest), start a Facebook group, start a blog..... those are less expensive.... Facebook and Google ads are an option but can be pricey.
how do I know if my designs are being viewed on Redbubble? They have "Recently Viewed" that shows on the landing page once you sign in, it shows a number of my designs that I didn't view, does that stand for visitors viewing my designs? thank you.
Thanks, I thought so and was disappointed. Hopefully they will come around in the near future and let designers see if their designs are being viewed on their site.
how do you do this on affinity 2? when I export I don't get those options and when I try to upload to redbubble it says it doesn't recognize the file type?
4500x5400 covers most sizes and all Tshirt sizes. The bigger sizes are mainly for big stickers, posters and larger items. If you want to cover everything, especially on RedBubble you would need something like 7500x7500
Hi, I'm uploading my 7 designs but its still not appearing and I'm uploading designs it before 1 week. Im completed my shops all connection payment, phone number, etc. Please guide me why its not work. Thanks.
Just wondering if you can tell me what the problem is on Redbubble where my items are not showing my store? I have filled in all the Information for my store including the banking information and I have more than 5 images uploaded. I am at a lost as to what the problem is. My items in TeePublic show up on my store immediately. Thanks
@@DetourShirts I don't see anything in my tags and non of my graphics are a problem. I have no indication as to what the problem is at all from RedBubble!
I would look around the internet and get inspired by different ideas and write those down.... then look back at those ideas and see what other pattern you can think of in those niches
Please I Have A Question For You, How To Change Color Of Active T-Shirt In RedBubble Because On White Background Design All T-Shirts Change To White Except Active T-Shirt Stay On Background Black. Thanks
If the postcard image is changed as suggested to 1300 x 900 then it is too small for many of the expensive prints as for some reason they use the same image.
@@DetourShirts There is only one image for Prints, Cards and Posters. I have checked again today and cannot see how I can load one image for a postcard and another for a print.
Hi Juno, I am new to Redbubble. Currently I have uploaded 10 designs. I know it is not enough and I am keep on uploading new designs. Meanwhile I have a question to ask from you. Currently I am creating design based on trending daily keywords. Which means I am creating designs according to the demand. Am I doing the right thing here? Because I have seen in other youtube channels saying that we should target in 1 specific niche and expand in that. But is it really possible? Can we do like that? Then our visibility in the platform will get reduced right? I am little bit confused here. Can you help me to solve this situation? Also should we do marketing for our Redbubble designs outside of Redbubble? Thank you.
I'll see if I can answer all your questions.You can do what you are doing or target 1 specific niche. Either can work. What is really important is to design something that an audience at RedBubble likes. Whether it's trending keywords, a specific niche or something else the designs have to be something someone will stop and want to buy. The more you can do that the better. As you design more and more and start getting sales you will get the data to know what else to design. You can do marketing for RedBubble outside. I would use social media or other cheap methods because the mark up on products aren't enough to pay for Facebook/Google Ads for example.
I like using 4500x5400 but it's actual size for RedBubble shirts is only 3873x4814.... I like having a bigger size so that my design fits on other products
Or you can just save Redbubble's templates to your hard drive for each product and fit your design to their templates. You can still keep the background black on the waterbottle, magnet, and stickers by saving your file as a .jpg
my design color is white and does not look good on a white t shirt can I change that color to white specifically like we do for printify? or should I change that color design on redbubble
@@DetourShirts Thank you for replying my design in white and that does not look good on white. i want to change that specific color when I changed that it changed all.
When I upload designs to my account and log in to view them, the site tells me that this design is not visible because this account is under review. Is there a problem with the design or with the title and description?

For mugs you can select pattern and most times it will double the design for both sides. Saves one resize.
Whenever I try that it doesn't fit the way I want but yes, if it works than that does save an upload

thank you very much for your videos, these are great advices!
Glad you like them!
Hey Juna Great Content man. Been Following you for a long time. Just wanted to ask a question about uploading different version for same design on different products. Does Redbubble count this different upload in their daily upload limit?
I mean if we upload same design version for different products .
Thanks man.
I don't think so but I actually never tested it... my guess is this all counts as one upload
How do i change the colours i want for t-shirts on RedBubble? Thanks
You can pick the default color but you can't really narrow down the colors in RedBubble, I wish there was a way to do it
@@DetourShirts I know man i wish you could turn certain colours off all together cheers anyway mate!
Amazing value on this mate thanks a lot
My pleasure!
This is a really basic question but if you were to pick pink as a background color on a shower curtain for instance would the shower curtain be all over pink and then your design on top of that? Or, a pillow, can you choose the actual pillow color other than the standard white? I'm confused with regards to the underlying printing method. I get black and white but can you use any color options on products other than the standard clothing?
Yes... that's how it works... they will print the background and then your design on top of it.
Another great video. I am making some of these mistakes and I tried fixing the postcard but it appears that I cannot separate the post card image from the image used for the poster ... and therefore the postcard image is not large enough for the poster... What am I missing ?
You are so right... I designed for the postcard only but not the poster.... the biggest poster is 5000x7100... you should change your design to that size and you won't have a problem.... thanks for catching that.
@@DetourShirts thank you! I alway learn a lot from each of your videos, still a lot left to learn.
I spoke with RedBubble a while ago, and they recommended to use 6480x7632 (WxH) to fit most of the large products perfectly. But of course, the rest of them would need to be tweaked, as you said. I found that those dimensions work well for me and I’ve been using them since the get-go. Thanks for the vid … great info.
Thanks for the tip... that's a pretty good size
AGAIN, sooo timely -- earlier today, just up/down loaded a bunch of designs to 'my' redbubble store A-N-D did just what you are advising us to do BEFORE I viewed this video. THANK YOU!! Initially did the 'disable' option on items I thought did not fit my 'profile' style BEFORE clicking the 'Edit' button. Out of sheer curiosity, on 1 design download, I gave it a try &, lo & behold, MORE REALLY COOL OPTIONS as you mention here!!@# Since am only partially clairvoyant, will continue to PAY ATTENTION!!@#$% As usual, my man - THANKS AGAIN!! Later,
'nuf said, ALOHA 4 now...🤪🙃🙈🙉🙊
Aloha.... and mahalo for the kind words... I'm so glad I could help you
@@DetourShirts yeah, had to Delete a couple that were inferior after further inspection! Really appreciate your insights & personal examples on how to implement your info. Truly amazing! MAHALO NUI LOA!! L8R...
Another tip for the stickers, i change the design to a jpeg works very well.
That's a good idea!
Hi Juna, hope you will reply to this. Great tutorial and I am stuck due to a problem. I was repeating exactly what you were doing from (15.38 - 15.50) but in my design a few graphics went missing after changing their resolution( my designs have multiple graphics). When making a selection by clicking and dragging the mouse the elements are visible but cannot be seen later. I hope you have understood my issue. Looking forward to hearing from you. Thanks in advance
You probably have things in your design that are lines or text or something else..... Make sure your original design is one piece like a PNG or one graphic.... I think the different parts of your design are messing it up.
@Detour Shirts In my experience it doesn't work with a .png file. I had to download it as a .pdf file to do this. Thanks again for the information.
Hi, I don't understand if you download the mug design on a white background or transparent. Thanks!
You can do either... I did white just because I know the background will be white... but transparent would work as long as you choose the background color of white on the mug in RedBubble
Hey, I have a question about marketing your store, do you think that you need to create a FB account for every niche or can you have all the niches in one account?
I've seen both work
When I did postcard size in the past it stopped by default the posters etc and only did the postcard and greeting card and nothing else. To get round this I changed the size to 6000 x 4000 px for all in this option only and made sure the background on RB was the colour ie black and this worked on alot of designs, hope this helps someone.
Ps i use canva so have restrictions on size.
Yup... that's one drawback on using Canva.... thanks for the tip
@@AJ-wt5zy with canva, if you have windows. You can resize canva items with plain windows paint or whatever the default app is to open pictures.
@@nicogreen764 thanks for that i will try it 😀
helpful tips, tnx Juna 👍
Thank you... so glad they are helpful
Do we really need to change product size for each, instead of fixing their size by zoom in & out option in redbubble?
Not every product needs this kind of attention... Cards and mugs do but a lot of the other ones you can just zoom in and out if you have a design that is big enough
I have a general store, a vintage store, a kids store, and a religious store. I also have a general store on cafepress that I am going to try to work on. Right now, I am just storing some pictures there in case one of my stores on Redbubble gets shut down. I love Redbubble but one thing I don't like about it is there is no phone support so they refuse to tell you why a store was shut down and ignore your emails if you are telling them anything about your store that was shut down. So this makes sellers nervous because we put so much effort in, and it is unfair to just shut our store down for one design that is not even copyrighted.
Thanks for sharing....I've been hearing that a lot... I don't know what's happening over there... I hope it doesn't happen to you... all we can do is keep uploading safe designs and practice safe uploading procedures... no copyright or trademark and no tag spamming.... good luck.
This is what i needed!
Glad to hear
Juna - how can I change text to have a variety of colors - such as rainbow colors across a phrase like "kindness matters?"
I found how to do a 2 color option but I can't tell how to add more than two colors to a word or phrase. Thanks! Your video's have helped me so much and I love how easy and thorough your content is....well done and thanks so much!
What app are you using to create your designs?
Juno, thanks for this video. I have a Redbubble account and I have done what you are showing here, but there is still an issue with the colors. In the Standard Print Clothing, I set the color on white because of my design (red and blue), but the Active T-Shirt shows up in black, and Lightweight Hoodie and Lightweight sweatshirt in gray. The rest of the tees are white as I want them to be. Any tips please? Thank you.
I'm guessing you are doing it right and picking the colors for each product... RedBubble is weird though... they don't have white for the Active T-Shirt so they just put it on black.... same with the lightweight hoodie and sweatshirt... they don't have white so they put it on gray... I would just leave it... that's the best you are going to get... sorry
Thanks Juno. I appreciate your response 🙏
Great job, thank you very much 👍
Thank you too!
How do you change the color of the active tshirt, the lightweight hoodie, and lightweight sweatshirt? when i finish and it shows preview the active tshirt is black and the other 2 are gray. I want them to be white like the rest of my shirts.
Great question... the active shirt only comes in 3 dark colors...and the hoodie and sweatshirt don't have a white option so RedBubble chooses the closest color which would be gray.
I have this same problem,, except my sweatshirt always turns out blue, on all my designs it's blue, no matter how I try to make it black,,
Juna, this is a GREAT video! So how do I scale down a .png file to under 25 MB and to under 5 MB? The one I made is 30 MB. I have Affinity Designer and Canva. Thanks in advance!
Good question! Man that is huge.... You could try simplifying the design or make the size smaller in pixels. Are you using any photos?
@@DetourShirts Yes, pics from Canva. Is there a compression tool in Affinity?
I think you could use GIMP to make a smaller size file.
@@sakpatten thanks Scott! I have Gimp. I'll try that. :)
hi. is there a way i can fix the product like backpack to include ? i tried it several times but everytime i save it. it doesn’t include it my product listing
Are you saying as a default so you don't actually click it to select it as a product you want?
Juna, I'm sorry but I don't understand doing the stickers or adding both a black dnd white design. I'm using Canva mostly. Can you please help me?
If you are doing your design in Canva you will need to copy that design and change the white text to something dark (I just like using black). White text will not show up on stickers. Click on the sticker when uploading and upload the design with the dark letters just for stickers. Do the same for anything else that only has a light background like the tote bags.
Helpful tutorial Juna, thanks. Another thing I don't like on Redbubble is that you can't adjust the designs on the kids' Tees and Onsies as by default the design is positioned so low towards the stomach!
Also they group certain products together which shouldn't be grouped together hence, when you want to scale a pattern up and down, you're forced to have the same scale on products. Like in some products in the same group, I want a smaller scale of the pattern and on they other a bigger scale of the pattern but it's impossible to scale them individually. I wish they left all the products to be edited individually. They don't listen to feedback from artists either. I really like the stylish simplicity of your logo, what is that typeface please, if you don't mind? Thanks.
All good points, thanks for sharing.... BTW my logo is hand made I did not your a typeface I drew the letters myself.
I agree with what you mentioned about RedBubble... I drew the text in my logo it's not a typeface.
How can you make adjustment for the black shirt if the words are black, while it can be applied for other color shirts?
You could put a white outline around the black words
@@DetourShirts thks for the reply. But it will be applied to all colors, won't it?
This is a really good tip. Thanks
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks for the info. On one of your other videos you mentioned that you still have a day job. Does that mean that there's not much money in this?
I actually make more with Print on Demand than I do with my day job... the day job is mainly for a secure paycheck, insurance and other perks
Hello! I have uploaded 5 works on my redbubble account and it is not showing up in my shop. What shall i do? The designs are on my portfolio.
Just wait a week or so
Might also have set them to private instead of public?
Impressive! 👏👏👏
Thank you
Do u have any videos teaching marketing for POD? There’s so many graphic design tutorials, I’m a graphic designer already I do t need any more education in that. So how does one create a sustainable career out of this?
Marketing is huge if you are selling on your own website but if you you sell on Amazon, RedBubble, TeePublic, etc you don't need much marketing if you are designing for the audiences on those sites..... create something good for those audiences and they will find you.
@@DetourShirts i dont believe you, theres always something that can be done to promote your POD store, if my livelyhood depends on customers i cant just be passive and wait for redbubble to to suggest my store to people. And also then, how would i market from my own website?
I'm not saying you can't. It's just that ads can get really expensive if you are going the traditional route but if you want to advertise I would suggest starting a newsletter subscription, do more social media (twitter, instagram, tik tok, pinterest), start a Facebook group, start a blog..... those are less expensive.... Facebook and Google ads are an option but can be pricey.
how do I know if my designs are being viewed on Redbubble? They have "Recently Viewed" that shows on the landing page once you sign in, it shows a number of my designs that I didn't view, does that stand for visitors viewing my designs? thank you.
There is no real good way of knowing.... I just keep uploading anyway
Thanks, I thought so and was disappointed. Hopefully they will come around in the near future and let designers see if their designs are being viewed on their site.
and why other products like travel mug is not shown in edits menu? how can i show it?
Some products are combined with other products
how do you do this on affinity 2? when I export I don't get those options and when I try to upload to redbubble it says it doesn't recognize the file type?
Make sure to export as a transparent PNG and it should work
How would you upload just women's design and is there an option to select just for women design in Redbubble?
There isn't a really good way to just select women's t-shirts unfortunately. I wish there was
@@DetourShirts thanks. Looks like the designs have to be both.
Hello, Sir different websites have different sizes for print on demand which size I should use
4500x5400 covers most sizes and all Tshirt sizes. The bigger sizes are mainly for big stickers, posters and larger items. If you want to cover everything, especially on RedBubble you would need something like 7500x7500
Hi, I'm uploading my 7 designs but its still not appearing and I'm uploading designs it before 1 week. Im completed my shops all connection payment, phone number, etc. Please guide me why its not work. Thanks.
Give it some time... some times it takes a couple weeks
Just wondering if you can tell me what the problem is on Redbubble where my items are not showing my store? I have filled in all the Information for my store including the banking information and I have more than 5 images uploaded. I am at a lost as to what the problem is. My items in TeePublic show up on my store immediately. Thanks
Sometimes it takes a while.... check your tags... sometimes that holds them up
@@DetourShirts I don't see anything in my tags and non of my graphics are a problem. I have no indication as to what the problem is at all from RedBubble!
But how to change the color of light weight hoodie?
It is not an option in standard print clothing!
I believe it pulls the color from the regular hoodie
I have a pattern based shop but i am very confused for how to come up with the new ideas and on which niches !
I would look around the internet and get inspired by different ideas and write those down.... then look back at those ideas and see what other pattern you can think of in those niches
@@DetourShirts thanks
Please I Have A Question For You, How To Change Color Of Active T-Shirt In RedBubble Because On White Background Design All T-Shirts Change To White Except Active T-Shirt Stay On Background Black. Thanks
Yeah... I don't know how to do that one... it's not even in the dropdown... but active only comes in black, navy and royal blue
@@DetourShirts thinks
Another question what is the limit uploading the designs?
When you say limit do you mean how many designs can you upload a day? The answer is 60
@@DetourShirts yes that's correct. How many you can upload a day. Thanks
Hey when writing the title on Redbubble do i have to put the artist name on the title ?
Hmmmm..... Do you mean you are not the artist? Where are you getting your art?
@@DetourShirts I sell Public Domain Images
Can you do these edits on Canva as well?
Yes
What's your logo's font? Is awesome!
I hand drew that one... one of a kind... it's not a font
@@DetourShirts Haha I didn't see that coming! You did a very good job! Nice idea instead of searching for the best font!
If the postcard image is changed as suggested to 1300 x 900 then it is too small for many of the expensive prints as for some reason they use the same image.
As long as you follow that ration your should be fine.... you could do 2600x1800 or 5200x3600.
@@DetourShirts That won't work as al the large prints, posters etc are a ratio of 1 to 1. e.g large canvas print is 16"" v 16.2""
You upload them separately
@@DetourShirts There is only one image for Prints, Cards and Posters. I have checked again today and cannot see how I can load one image for a postcard and another for a print.
Hi Juno,
I am new to Redbubble. Currently I have uploaded 10 designs. I know it is not enough and I am keep on uploading new designs. Meanwhile I have a question to ask from you.
Currently I am creating design based on trending daily keywords. Which means I am creating designs according to the demand. Am I doing the right thing here?
Because I have seen in other youtube channels saying that we should target in 1 specific niche and expand in that.
But is it really possible? Can we do like that? Then our visibility in the platform will get reduced right?
I am little bit confused here. Can you help me to solve this situation?
Also should we do marketing for our Redbubble designs outside of Redbubble?
Thank you.
I'll see if I can answer all your questions.You can do what you are doing or target 1 specific niche. Either can work. What is really important is to design something that an audience at RedBubble likes. Whether it's trending keywords, a specific niche or something else the designs have to be something someone will stop and want to buy. The more you can do that the better. As you design more and more and start getting sales you will get the data to know what else to design. You can do marketing for RedBubble outside. I would use social media or other cheap methods because the mark up on products aren't enough to pay for Facebook/Google Ads for example.
@@DetourShirts Thank you very much 😃
what is the size for t-shirts?
I like using 4500x5400 but it's actual size for RedBubble shirts is only 3873x4814.... I like having a bigger size so that my design fits on other products
Or you can just save Redbubble's templates to your hard drive for each product and fit your design to their templates. You can still keep the background black on the waterbottle, magnet, and stickers by saving your file as a .jpg
Yes... that would work too... the main point is that there are several products that need their own uploads
OMG - lots of work for! I think I'll only select certain products unless it's a high profit item.
Thank for sharing
my design color is white and does not look good on a white t shirt can I change that color to white specifically like we do for printify? or should I change that color design on redbubble
You can change the color of most shirts on RedBubble as the main color of the shirt.
@@DetourShirts Thank you for replying my design in white and that does not look good on white. i want to change that specific color when I changed that it changed all.
How do you fix the hoodie zipper issue where the design shows up on the front - you can't separate it. Any suggestions?
just leave it... It's okay on the front
Your big size is 7600 x 7600. Redbubble says their jigsaw puzzle size is 9075 x 6201. So how will 7600 x 7600 work?
Yeah.... my big size didn't include the puzzle.... you may have to go bigger if you want to include that
When I upload designs to my account and log in to view them, the site tells me that this design is not visible because this account is under review. Is there a problem with the design or with the title and description?
Hmmm.... hard to say..... Did you use a fan art tag? Sometimes those take time to review
@@DetourShirts This message has disappeared, but my designs do not appear in the store, and I am sure that they are visible
I don't have affinity designer what do I do
You could use canva or photopea
Do I. Need To have a licence To. Sale. In red Bubble.
And. Do I need to. Have coy write Any. Of my work. ?
No and No
