Redbubble How To Make Money Using Your Designs Or Artwork (Step By Step)
About this video
RJ Martinez gives a step-by-step approach to making money on Redbubble with your own artwork or text-based designs across products such as stickers, t-shirts, masks, phone cases, posters, mugs, notebooks and pillows. Step 1 is learning how customers buy: browse Redbubble in incognito mode, study what the homepage and category pages promote, and use ‘best selling’ views for t-shirts and other categories as market research into consistent sellers. Step 2 is finding a demanding niche and creating a unique design — simple or text-based designs can work — then uploading it and carefully editing each product so sizing/placement fits that product, disabling or rethinking products the design does not suit. Step 3 is learning the algorithm/search: titles and especially tags (entered comma-separated in the product information) determine how customers find a listing, so he inspects tags on best-selling products, e.g. masks, to model his own, while avoiding trademark/copyright violations. Step 4 is to expect a slow start and upload volume — he suggests at least 50-100 designs — and step 5 is to rinse and repeat whatever produced the first sale.
Key takeaways
- Start with customer research: browse Redbubble in incognito mode and study best-selling/trending views to see what designs and products actually sell.
- Pick a demanding niche, create a unique (often simple or text-based) design, and put your own spin on proven ideas rather than copying them.
- Edit each product individually so design sizing and placement fit that product; a design that works on a shirt may not work on a clock or case.
- Tags are central to Redbubble discovery: inspect tags on best-selling listings, add your own tags comma-separated, and avoid trademarked/copyrighted material.
- Do not expect instant sales — the creator suggests uploading at least 50-100 designs, then repeating the process that generated the first sale.
