How Does Selling On Redbubble Work - Redbubble Success - Redbubble Tips - What Is Redbubble

About this video

Martinez explains Redbubble as a print-on-demand platform for artists, graphic designers and anyone with a funny shirt idea: you upload a design, and Redbubble prints the product and ships it to the customer — you handle no inventory, shipping, returns or customer service, and simply take a royalty. He stresses text-based designs work: simple funny or sarcastic sayings made in tools like Canva, the Over app or Word Swag, as well as Merch Informer, Photoshop and Affinity products for artists. He says Redbubble is more lenient than Merch by Amazon on getting in, but warns there is a daily upload limit — he believes it is 60 designs a day — and urges sellers not to spam, steal designs pixel-for-pixel, or use trademarks like Pepsi, all of which can get an account suspended. Start with a niche you personally love (baseball, true crime) so you know the sayings that will sell. On pricing, he describes his own test: raising his markup from around 20–25% to 55% while, he says, keeping the same sales volume and making more per sale, so he urges testing rather than pricing low forever. On earnings, he claims he personally makes between $100 and $1,000 a month on Redbubble (his main focus is Merch by Amazon), thinks consistent uploading could yield $100–$200 a month in the first three to four months and then $500–$1,000, and hopes to grow his own to $2,000–$4,000. For research, search your main keyword (e.g. English bulldog) on Redbubble sorted by trending and best selling; use 8 to 10 tags per listing because tags drive traffic. Audiences differ by platform — his best-selling sticker sells daily on Redbubble but only about once a month on Amazon. For marketing he recommends Facebook groups and building relationships rather than spamming links.

Key takeaways

• Redbubble handles printing, shipping, returns and customer service; you upload designs, set tags and pricing, and collect a royalty — no inventory needed.
• Respect the platform rules: he says uploads are limited to about 60 designs a day, and copying designs or using trademarks (e.g. Pepsi) risks suspension.
• Test pricing upward instead of staying low: he claims raising his markup from 20–25% to 55% kept his sales consistent while increasing earnings per sale.
• Use 8–10 researched tags on every listing — he frames tags/keywords as the traffic engine that gets eyeballs on a product.
• Research inside Redbubble itself (search your niche keyword, sort by trending/best selling) because audiences differ: a design can sell daily there while barely selling on Amazon.
