REDBUBBLE

This is a website that allows you to make money by creating and selling custom products online.

On this website, you can sell products like t-shirts, phone cases and hoodies with your own custom design printed on top.

To start creating your own merch, you’ll first need to open a free account. Once opened, you can immediately start uploading your own personal designs to products.

You can customise things like the style, formation, product title and description.

Then when a customer purchases a product from your store…

….RedBubble’s production warehouse will print your design onto a t-shirt (or whichever product you’re selling), package it up, and then ship it out to the customer.

All of this is done automatically, without you even having to lift a finger!

If you have not yet noticed, this type of product fulfilment goes by the name of print on demand.

The reason why this model is so great is because once you have created and uploaded your designs, it becomes an extremely passive source of income.

For each product that you sell, RedBubble will pay out to you a 20% commission. And because you are paid through a commission, you aren’t required to pay any fees! 

Essentially, selling on RedBubble is 100% FREE.

But you might be thinking “This is good and all, but what about traffic? Don’t I have to pay to advertise my t-shirt?”

The answer to this is no.

You see, similar to eBay and Amazon, RedBubble is considered what you call a destination site.

Because these sites are so well-known, there isn’t much of a need to spend money to put your products in front of customers. Customers are very familiar with these type of sites already, and so simply come to search for what they want.

Sellers on RedBubble make money through organic traffic. These are users who type in the search bar a product they are looking for, and find it through organically through the search results.

And sellers leverage RedBubbles search engine by optimizing their products for search keywords e.g. funny t-shirts, doctor t-shirts.

But again, you might be thinking, “Okay, sounds good. But what if I am not a great artist? Will my designs be good enough to sell?”

The answer? Absolutely!

Here’s the thing… To make money on RedBubble, you DON’T need to be an artist.

The majority of top selling t-shirts are surprisingly very simple, plain designs.

For example, here is a t-shirt design we easily recreated using nothing more than Canva. And here’s how it turned out. 

Best of all, this took no more than five minutes to do!

If you have no graphic design skills, but still want to create top selling designs, the secret is to focus on selling funny t-shirts. 

Because often times, simple text based t-shirts often add to the humour and make it even funnier than if it was the design was rather complicated.

So once you’ve opened your account, and recreated your own designs – how do you get paid?

RedBubble has two options. The first is to get paid directly through PayPal. And the second option is to get paid directly to your bank account.
