Common Mistakes On Redbubble | Redbubble How to Make Money-Redbubble tutorial-Redbubble Trends-POD

About this video

RJ Martinez, who says he has sold on Redbubble for over four years, lists the most common mistakes he sees sellers make. First, uploading only 10 or 20 designs and expecting sales; he recommends focusing on one niche you personally understand (e.g., baseball, football, English bulldogs) and aiming for 100 to 200 designs in it, noting a sale from 20-30 designs is usually luck. Second, creating designs without research — a generic dog or cat design is unlikely to work; sellers should check what is actually selling and trending on Redbubble and design what the customer wants, not what they want. Third, uploading trademarked designs, which he calls one of the biggest mistakes because a successful account can be suspended and its income lost. Fourth, not designing ahead: for holidays such as Christmas, Thanksgiving, Easter, and Halloween, design about three months (90 days) out so listings can rank before demand peaks, rather than two or three weeks out. Fifth, mistargeting the audience with keywords and tags — e.g., using cat tags on an English bulldog design pushes it to page five. Finally, he warns against low-quality scaled/spam uploads and ripping off designs pixel-for-pixel from Amazon or elsewhere, and against skipping tags, titles, and descriptions, which hurts visibility.

Key takeaways

• Aim for 100-200 designs in a single niche you understand, rather than 10-20 designs scattered and expecting sales.
• Research what is selling and trending on Redbubble before designing; design for what the customer wants, not what you want.
• Check every phrase for trademarks before uploading — a trademark violation can get a profitable Redbubble account suspended.
• Design for trending holidays about three months (90 days) ahead so the listing can rank and build sales velocity before the holiday.
• Match keywords and tags precisely to the design’s audience, and never skip tags, title, or description or copy another seller’s design pixel-for-pixel.
