RedBubble is a company that allows independent artists such
as myself to sell my artwork on a number of different products. From framed
prints to t-shirts, iPhone covers to travel mugs and much more. There are over 70 different products to choose from. They handle all of the financial
transactions, printing and production of the products and the delivery and
customer service.
By far their most popular products are in my opinion their shirts. Most T-shirt sites offer just a standard T-shirt, maybe the same design on some different colors and that is it. Most of the RedBubble T-shirts come in over 17 colors, and various T-shirt types: long sleeve, active (not me), long, 3/4 Sleeve, Premium, V-neck, Tri-Blend, Slim Fit, Schiffon Top, Fitted, Fitted Scoop, and more!
Another product that is quite timely is Masks! If your jurisdiction is going to force you to wear one, you may as well get one with a design you like. Practically anything you can put on a a T-shirt can go on a mask.
Just 4 of the products available at Redbubble:
RedBubble is one of the leading POD platforms (POD stands for
print on demand) for the independent artist to sell their designs on a wide
range of products. Print on demand means basically what you would expect; they
only print on their products when someone buys your work. On RedBubble you can
find a wide range of artists from famous YouTubers to absolute normie artists
like me.
Not an artist or great photographer? You can still make a
commission with an existing website or blog that you have. Consider joining the RedBubble affiliate
program! If you just appreciate great art, photography and design, head on over
to RedBubble.com and see what you can find.
To join RedBubble as an artist is really simple; you just
create an account. Get some high-quality photos of your artwork and upload it
via your artist account. From there you can add your art, or
photos, to the products of your choice. There are well over 70 products to put
your design on, with some of the main categories being:
·
Clothing
·
Stickers
·
Phone cases
·
Wall art
·
Home & Living
·
Kids & Babies
·
Accessories
·
Stationery
·
Gifts
Once your design is placed on the product and you ‘publish’ the design
it is then available (usually well within 15 minutes) for you to order any of
the products. Not only is it available
to you, but to any one of the 1000s of visitors that visit the RedBubble site
(unless you mark the design as private).
Just think, that coffee mug with your face on it could be bought by
someone who fancies you in Belarus!
Pretty much anyone from anywhere in the world can order from RedBubble.
RedBubble even takes care of the local and national taxes the customer would
have to pay. You set the percentage above
the base price, so you have full control on your artist margin per
product. RedBubble takes care of all the
headaches involving shipping, taxes, currency conversion, and even
returns. The biggest headache that RedBubble
solves is TRAFFIC. You may have seen
various ads, particularly from Wix and Shopify where making money online is
simply putting up a pretty website with their miraculous tools. WRONG. You can have the prettiest, fanciest website
in the world and it will not generate sales unless you have tons of traffic.
For getting a lot of traffic to your site requires you put in a lot of work!
And I mean A LOT. Even with A LOT of work, you still may find you will have to
pay for advertisements to drive the level of traffic that you need. Last time I checked, RedBubble had over 20
MILLION visitors a month!
Occasionally there are Promo codes for saving 10 to 30% off of the
product price which you can use to entice potential buyers who might be undecided
about one of your products, or a friendly reminder to past customers to check
out your latest designs.
I am legally obliged to put the following disclaimer on this page,
however, I can honestly say that all of these are my genuine feelings and
opinions toward this company that has allowed me to make money from my creative
endeavours.
