1. Trailer Skillshare: Hello and welcome. My name is Leonardo. I'm 20 years old. And in this course, I will teach you what is print-on-demand and how it works. Basically, you will learn how to design a t-shirt, how to create a sharp on written Bible, the website that we're going to use, how to upload a product on Redbubble and how to do a proper niche and a tag research for your products. So if this is sounded interesting, you can watch the overview of the course in the next video, and we will see us in the next lesson. Bye bye. 2. Overview Skillshare: Hello and welcome back. My name is Leonardo, and thank you for choosing this course. In this course, we're going to learn how print on-demand works. Specifically, we're going to learn how to read Bob bolt, print-on-demand words. A customer places an order on your website, which will be on Redbubble. And when the order is placed, the print on demand suppliers, in this case, read by boat, is going to print and manufacture the product, which can be a T-shirt among us, thicker hoodie, whatever. Then it will package the item and sheep bit directly the customer. What is your role in all of these chain? Basically, your job is to create, designs and upload them on your sharper on your Redbubble shop. Specifically, by doing so, you will earn margin for each product that you will sell. The more designs that you will have on your website, the better. So more costumers are going to find your designs. And once a design is uploaded on your website, it will stay there forever. You will have to stay patient. But trust me, it will be worth it in the end. So read Bible is the main website that we are going to use. The next lecture, we're going to see how to open an account and how to set up your Redbubble shop. But later on this in the course, the prerequisites are none. We're going to use a free websites and the softwares to create the designs, to research the niches needed for the designs. And this is really eat another quick mention, what is in each. Well, basically it represents a hobby group of people, passion about something. For example, cycling or I don't know, music. That's specific. Pets, like dogs, cats. I don't know. But by dividing the universal audience in those little niches, you can target specific designs for Denton niche that you know, it will sell. Last but not least, I want to talk about setting the proper expectation. So it will be as low growth at the beginning. So you have to keep yourself motivated. You will have to fail thousands of times. And you know, when you feel a lot, you get demotivated, you'll want to quit. You want to stop uploading designs, but trust me, if you stay consistent, stay patient over time, you will see this snowball effect. Again. Once the design is set up on your shop, it will stay there forever. And again, you don't have to do any type of marketing work because we will focus on niche research and SEO, search engine optimization. So by choosing the right keywords, your designs will pop up automatically for the costumers. This is it. Thanks for tuning in. And in the next lesson, we're going to start by doing the practical things and really getting into the meat of this course. So thanks again for choosing this course and choosing me as a mentor. And we'll see you on the next one. 3. Create a Redbubble Account: So welcome back. First thing. First, you have to go on rent bamboo.com and it will show up this page.

And you will click artist sign up. You will have to choose a male, a password and you're sharpening. So for my shop, I choose super-duper name just for the sake of these, of these tutorials. And then you will see this page, the dashboard. So I've created a new shop just for you, just to teach you well and do all the step-by-step prune things that we have to do in order to start selling on our shop. So when you go to your dashboard, you can just click on Account and click dashboard. Here, we show up. And you will see these fake picture. Basically. Those are all the steps in order to create and set up properly your shop. So I have already set up the get paid agent. So you have to confirm your email. They will just send you a verification email. It's really easy. You will have to add your name and address and add payment details. So for the payment details, you will choose the currency. And so I don't know if pounds, US dollars, euros, and the way they, that they are going to send you money basically. So if you are in the US or UK, you can add your bank account and your tax info. If you are outside those countries, like me, I'm from Italy, you will just need a Paypal account. And that's it. Once you create a Paypal account here, we'll just need to add it to your payment details. I hope that you have people unless you can just search people on Google and just need to create an account. So this is in Italian. You will not understand anything, but you will just need to search people. Going, it creates an account and you are good to go. There will also be average education process with your e-mail and a lot of bureaucracy, things kind of growing. So you will just need to click on those short leaks For do all the things. And then you will need to add a social link. If you have, you don't need a lot of them. You can just add your personal Instagram account. Or if you want, you can create a dedicated Instagram account or a Facebook account. At the beginning. This is not needed. You want to need to do any type of advertising for these series. So back to the dashboard. We can add a quick bio. So I don't want to see my city and country are my public profile. This is my email address. And basically underbar you have to tell your customers a little bit about you. It doesn't have to be complicated. It can just be, Hi there. I like to make funny designs. No one basically will search for this. It is really not needed. And then you just save your changes. And that's it, basically. So this is my avatar. And in the next video, I'm going to show you how to create an avatar and abandon it for your account. So this is really it for this video. If we're going back to the dashboard, you will see that you will check other bio, just give it some time. And then in the next one, we're going to see out and add an amateur and the covert. So thanks for staying with me and we'll see you on the next one. 4. Create A Banner: Welcome back. In this video, we're going to see and learn how to create an avatar and a cover image. So we're going to click on add a cover image first, as I have already created the navigator, but it really easy. So images must be 2400 wide by 600 pixels. And the main website that we are going to use for creating and designing ultimately, our t-shirts. It's Futopia, which basically works exactly like Photoshop. I mainly use Photoshop, but photo PIE, it's free and Photoshop is note. So we're just going to click on Futopia.com and click New Project. So we add so that we need the project to be 2400 pixel, right? And 600 height. The background. I like to have it transparent or ways. And we can just choose to create. So this is, will be, this will be the boundary for your shop. And let's see how we can create it. So we lead to a little bit of photoperiod basics. Once you eat the V key, you will have this arrow, which allows you to move objects around it. And we can start creating and designing our button here. So I like to have a kind of funny fema for my shopper. I mean the Creator. Finally these lines and funny t-shirts and stickers. So first, I selected the gradient tool. You just need to press G. I've chosen this one, so orange and yellow sheets. And I want to be the decision to be radio. So I've just pressed in the center of my Canva. And then I draw a line, the angle. So I will end up with a thing like this. I kinda like it. I already did my avatar in a similar rate. And the mean of my shop is super-duper name and you will have to choose choose a better one for sure. Yeah, basically, at the background, you can also add a picture of something and maybe an animal or something else. The important thing is to have an editor and a backroom but are matching. So you can press T or just click this team on this side. And this select the side of your texts. So I selected bankers because I like it. And once you click here on the, on the canvas, you will just have to type your shop name, in my case, is a super super-duper name. And let me just so super duper name. Let me expand it a little bit. So by hitting Control plus and minus, you're going to zoom in and zoom out. By holding Control. It will pop up this rectangle in which you're in. If you drag just these shapes, you will expand and resize your image. So this is the name of my shop. Now what I like to do is to groups. So I erase it completely. What I like to do now, it's just to work the text a little bit. So just to recap your work, this time, I'm going to use is a flag. And here I will hit 25 per cent. And this is basically it. Now, I'm going to rasterize this layer and I'm going to duplicate, duplicate this layer. Basically you right-click, you'll get right-click on the layer. And click Rasterize and then duplicate. So by clicking super-duper named copy, okay, and holding Control and click, left-click on the veto image. I'm going to select only the letters. And then by clicking, by selecting the color. Here. Gun has a lighter one. And then clicking Alto plus conscience, we add, we add just colored hour. The next line. And then we can do the same thing. Hold Control, left-click on the literal image, and then go to the color section and choose a darker color. So I'm going to use this color. Right? Click Alt plus couch, and then Control D to de-select it. And basically, I'm going to sorry, and didn't intend to do it. We've hit the button and then we're going to get super-duper name, not the copy, which will be the darker color. And then going and just clicking the right arrow, sorry, the left arrow. And then a little bit, which gives the texts that these shady effective. And that's basically it. Now I'm going to hold the Control and click also super-duper name copy, right-click and merge layers. So that I have one layer. Then I'm going to hit Control a to select everything. And happier, we're going to center our imaging by clicking those buttons. Then I'm going to press Control D. And that's basically it. We have our banner. It's not super cool, but I like it. It's kinda funny to me, at least. And now you just have to click File, Save, sorry, export as a PNG. So the quantity is 100%. The format is PNG. The name will be banner dot PNG, and then you will click Save. Now you have downloaded the file. You can go back to red bubble. So this will be your cover image. You go into download and just choose the file on your folder and click Upload. Okay. Now you have to go down and click Save Changes. And for the avatar, we just need to create a new file. Just click New. And the project will be 800 by 800. And you will do basically the same thing. I suggest that, suggest that the banner and the Avatar are matching. So I just did it the very same thing with the banner. So id and grabbed the gradient tool, choose the radial diffusion and just wrote super-duper Nana work the taxa color it a little bit at the shade. And that was basically. So. Now that you have add all those things, you can go back to red bubble basically. And that's it. Thanks for following during this video and we'll see each other on the next one. 5. Create An Example Design: Hello and welcome back. This is our dashboard. Now we have completed everything. We just need to add the design. So just click on it at a design. You will need to click on Upload New World, but not now. First, we have to create a design. So at the beginning, just to enable our shop before the selling, we're going to create just an example design. So go to Futopia, Dotcom, peak file, click New, and click wife per 1508, 5,400 DPI. And the pixel per inch is this, and the background is transparent. And now you can create, you can create. For this design. We're going to hit the T button. So the Texas tool, this time we're going to use is mangers regular. So just hit a point on the Canva. And we're going to write cool example. For the sake of the video. You just need to create something out of, out of the blue. It doesn't have to be perfect. So this is our example for our design. We're going to move it a little bit. Then we are going to hit Control Plus eight. We're going to hit V and then move it in the center horizontally. And this is our crew example. Obviously, our design will be, our designs will be, I bought more, better. But for this video. And just to add a new design, we're good with that. So just click File, save, export as a PNG. And the name will be example dot PNG. We're going to hit Save. We have downloaded and we just drag and drop the o. Sorry. You're going to hit Upload Work, click on example, and open the file. So the title will be cool. Example. This is just the theories, the description. You won't need to longer and very detailed the street and the description. Just to say, this is an example. And tax are cool. In this case, an example. Those, this is not a correct way to do it, is just to upload a product. And then we're going to see now uploading process to work. So we have already added a title, tags and excretion. So once you click those products, like standard print clothing here will have to go down here and check those things that are not checked it. Those are the products and you will, you will want to add all the products that red bubble is offering. You want to be the design on top of the shirt like as APA as possible on this rectangle. And then center the design or accidentally click Apply Changes. And you will just have to do this thing over and over again. And when you select the default color for premium t-shirts, premiums scoop t-shirts, and lung t-shirts. You will have to choose and selected the default columnar manually for all of those. I don't know why, but written bubble works like this. You will have a caps. So he doesn't have to be perfect. Now, we're just going to do it for the sake of the video and just for opening our workshop. So just to select it down a little bit, click on enabled on everything, just to adjust them a little bit. And then you're good to go. So you will have to do the same process, process for every product. But we see, we will see on greater detail, what do I mean by this? And just click this, this material content. No, I have the rights to sell the product. Who can do this work? Anybody? Public? The default product in your shop floor? I recommend to be stickers. So there it is, sticker. And then media select up to two. You are going to select design and illustration and digital art. So we're going to hit Save work. And this is our first design. It will take some time for uploading. And this was just an example. Later in the course, we're going to learn how to design a proper design. And then how to research a niche for our design. And basically the real process of print-on-demand. Basically, all that you will do once you have set up, setting up your shop. So we're good to go. We can now view our shelf. So this is our super-duper named shock. It will look like this. And then it says that there are no designs. Don't worry. It just it's just uploading. We have uploaded a couple of seconds ago. And then this is basically eaten. So this is a workshop. In the next section, we're going to learn how to choose, what to design and how to design it. So thanks for staying with me and we'll see you on the next one. 6. Tag & Niche Reasearch: Welcome back. This is our shop. And now we're going to see what to design. So let's start with the basics. If you click on Redbubble, this will be the homepage. 7. Create A Real Design: In the last video, we saw how to find it in each. So we found a Winnipeg bright and the other partner. So when I checked it and it is Canadian CT. And it says here Winnipeg pride and so something related to the LGBT plus community. And my idea is to create something that represents both things. So I hit F4 to Pierre. I created the project Five 1400 by 4,500. And I searched their Canadian GBT flag, and I just search it, added to the search yet free license to use it. So just on Google Images, you don't need a pretty difficult websites. And going to play right-click and copy this image. And hit Control V. To add the deflection. When you click B and play and press Transform Controls, you will pop up this. So if you're older, you can keep it in the center. So we're going to expand this flag creek transform or Control. Click back on how to select it. And basically we have to choose. I went to write Winnipeg and pride when the bank get above the flagging and pride under it. And I want to choose a cool font. I suggest that you use a bold font like this. Black Hand Sans. I like you. These will be one, S, C. And we're going to switch the color to black and just start writing. So I activated the Caps Lock and going to write green infected heat to control. And tried to, sorry, control class. So I won't go crazy. And try to expand this. Now I'm hitting Control minus. So I wanted to be really bold. So I'm going to expanding it and expand it like this. Okay? I am going to click on this layer and go in and click down again and to pride. And going to move it down a little bit. And this is basically it. Designs don't, doesn't have to be super complex. They have to be simple and easy to understand. Now, I'm going to create a new layer. Move it under everything else. Choose the dark theme. Darker colors. Sorry. He did that Paint Bucket tool. I'm just, I just right-click on the gradient tool. And now what I want to do is rasterize this layer and this layer. So with the text one, I'm going to choose to select this and this, sorry, only Winnipeg. So control and left-click on Whitney Peggy. Then I'm going to catch on this Control D. Then I'm going to click on the pride Control and click down here. Sorry. This all right, eye. So when you click Control, click on the Winnipeg. I misspelled it. We're going to rasterize it both layers. We're going to click on Winnipeg and control and hit today EMS books. Then we're going to select a white color and click on the couch. Then we're going to hit Control D, selected private layer, hold control and click, right. Then when going to hit again Alt plus catch. And basically controlling. Now we're going to hold control and select all of our layers and click New Folder. So we're going to group them, everything. So we're going to move it up a little bit. Then we're going to switch the colors. It, the black, press the button, select the layer two, which is on the back, and add the background. Basically, this will be our finished product. The black background. He is not needed for the uploading process by these just to see final image of these of our design. Then we've grown into heat, Greek, layer runner, Hank, hold control and click everything. We're going to hit Control plus a and the center, everything in the middle, and then hit control plus D. So everything is centered. Now we're just going to hit to hide these layer. Click File, click Export as PNG. We're going to name it. We need peg, PNG and hit Save. So this is our first real design Brand going to go back and read Bible. And in the next video, we're going to see how loaded properly and do a proper type research. 8. Upload A Design To Your Shop: Welcome back. In this video, we're going to talk to them, we're going to upload it. Did decide that we are created, we have created in the last video, which is this. So going to click on, Add a New Work, upload, new work. We need peg open. Okay. And now we're going to choose the title, which gonna be Winnipeg pride. And then we're going to choose the background color for all the shirts. We will choose black. Black. Awesome Sass, better than white shirts. And as you can see, all the, almost all products as being selected to back as a default. And now we're going to edit this t-shirt. We're going to activate older kids and toddler T-Shirts and products. We're going to choose black as the basic design. We're going to move it a little bit up and then center it right there. Same thing here, where you're going to centering, centering horizontally. And then we're going to choose black at all. These premium t-shirts. Remember, you have to do them singularly. And then click Apply Changes. And now we're going to adjust all the products. I suggest that black for all the products. Okay. And then you're basically going to enable all the products there are disabled and adjust them. So I'm gonna do it, okay, so now I have adjusted all the products, as you can see. And for example, this teacher here won't, you won't see it because we have a good white text. And also on other projects, there will be the same problem. And also just a quick mention, on-demand, you have to put it on the right side. And then on let me see. Yeah. On the miniskirts, the leggings, socks, backpacks, and defiled bags. I have just put a pattern. You can just click Edit and you can do it for all the products. Just pattern and click offset grid and then escaped the image it to like around nine or ten per cent. You can just look whatever looks better under product. And then what I'm going to do now is to create the exact same design on photo PR, but with black texter so we can adjust it for the stickers and the other products. So I just went to Futopia and edited picture. So I just changed the color of the text. And I replaced the image. You just click on the product, click Replace. You mentioned, and click on new file with the black text. And I've done it for the cartoon tote bag and DI water bottle. It just go down here. You just press design and illustration, digital art. You put the default product sticker. This is not mature content. And before saving the word cat, we haven't do the most important part, which is target research. So we have found in each and which one you want to publish this design, but we don't have many tags to publish it on. So the first is obviously will be Winnebago Bride. And we can add like up to 50 about the subjects to these 15 relevant rather than taxon or upload. Which is also what I suggested to you. For doing this. I suggest if you go on merchandise and automation on this link here, you just need to search, marriage Titans automation, read Bob, both data generator. You can put the tablet. You will have to register on this website. Your predicted get to tax. It will load and we do it. It will give you a list of relevant tax for this keyword. So why would you need it in the first place? Because when someone was searched for similar phrase or word that you put in the taxi, for example, Canada or Toronto. Your result, your design will pop up on the page result. Even if you're, if the title is, for example, peg pride, if you put Ottawa, it will pop up. Anyways. So once you have all those taxa, I suggest to click Format and copy and just copy and paste them. But we pay attention to these like these long lists of Winnipeg pride when it by Friday. Those people that are using these tags are using it to boost the rank and the pager. I don't have that advisor to do this because red bubble is banning people for doing this kind of stuff. So just click Format and copy tax and copy the relevant. But if you do, if you want to do a better version of all of this, you can do another thing. You go down on red bubble, go to Winnipeg pride, and start to open the best-selling products, which are relevant keyword. And start searching for date the types that these people who use them and check if the tax that they had used that are under 600 results. You want to go down here and on the list, old product taxon, you just click it. You open it, you just open a new tab with all of these. Okay. And then you just copy and paste them if they are under 600 results per page. In your toggle this down here. Once you've do these process, you can publish your work. You need a description, but really you don't have to be too much creative. For example, this is a Winnipeg cried design. Hope you enjoyed and you are good to go. So now I will create and research Paulista of at least 15 taxa. Wait for publishing these design and then we are good to go. I have done the research here. Here, use shirt fleece of tax. You don't have to use all the 15. And those stacks don't have to be all under 600. You just need some common sense in which you use it. They shouldn't be relevant. So I've chosen this one and many others for our niche. And then we can go down here. Remember to choose their sticker as a default view because it wants the customer will see this thicker. And other products with decent design will show opera. And they will be more likely to buy a shirt. And also stickers. If they buy just the stickers, you can put high-margin of profits on the stickers. So you just need to be on Save work. It will process the work. You have to wait some time until it shows up in your shelter. And then you are really good to go. You have to do this process of researching it, creating it, and do the tag research. And all of these many, many, many more times before getting some sales. And then when they shop gets some traction, you will send to, you will start to rank higher on these pages. And you will start to see your very first sale. So which will be a very good thing for you. So this is our product. Now, this is not supposed to be like this. My Internet connection is just too slow. So you have to be patient. There we go. This is a magnet very similar to this thicker. And the basically we are, we have done. And if you want to repeat the same process, so suppose you have another design, just click on adenine work and to copy an existing work. So you'll create another design based on the dimension that we have already used in photophobia. So 4,500 by 5,400. And when you have done this, you can just click here Copy Settings. And you will just replace old images and start moving them around to adjust them properly. But you won't have to do all the hard work that you did the first time. You will obviously need to change the title and the taxi and then excretion. And really you're good to go. For example, if you want to create a design for Phyllis DLL Padron, Eugen can just take some texture. Right? To finish the other Padre. I don't know, a hard estar ahead to like all of this. And you can just go on couple of your work changed the title changes the test detects. Adjust a little bit down here, what he's done. And for making look better. And then you're good to go. Another quick mention is to select the Default product as a manga, I've found that seekers and maggots sells very well. In fact, if you see Winnipeg pride, mostly, those are stickers. Okay. And they refute t-shirts. The fact that week the T-shirts is that the product is niches specific. So mostly if you see a trending design like this, it will be rare case that you can push the t-shirt unless your search, niche. Searching is not exactly for a t-shirt, you will just need to put sticker or among those products are cheaper and customers are more likely to buy them. So thanks again for staying with me with this one. 9. Other Niche Research Methods: Hello and welcome back. I just wanted to show you in this video and other method to find your niche to design in. But first, let me address some of the things that I said in the previous video. So it is right that you have to put your design mainly on niche, that it has got less than 600 results. But in the tax is not necessary to have less than 600. But I wouldn't suggest it to the tax that you Putin at less than 5 thousand results, or at least if you can do thousand. But that's a general group that we've had to, to generate more sales, more sales. So back to the video. Another great method to create and choose the niche to create design is to just to type a letter of the alphabet, for example a. And then here you will have three results are laughter that are currently trending. Will see this nice little arrow that is going up. Those are Misha and tax that people are searching this day. So if we, for example, search abortion rights, you will see that it has 330 thousand results. So it's not good for us. But if you stick to it and search for every letter, eventually you pop up but with some niche that is under 600 results. So again, if you Putin just a letter, for example v, you will find burner rate burning rays male, though, by well-made found bands of our bodies. And you just can go for C and then D, and then E, et cetera. You're basically run out of letters. And this is also a really valid metal method to find your niche, to design in. Just to look at those niches to that hasn't less than 600 results, and then you are good to go. Another method is going on. So if you go down here and search for funny t-shirts on general clothing, you can search and add a filter for searching which are the best selling or as it's sold recently, just need to go to advanced search and search including sold listing. And then you are good to go. So if you just go on advanced and like I said, and then click on sold listings. You will see that there are really cool t-shirts that you can just recreate that are not on Redbubble, let's say. And the one with a white background that is usually done on a computer, it seems, are the ones that are also doing print-on-demand it and add data are also selling it. So if you search by the first, by the latest, the sale, you will end up also with new inspiration that is not on red Babu. And you could just if put it down out there, search for the tax, and then you can publish your design. This is it for this video. You can also check on other things, but those are minor stuff. If you start like this, you will get good. You will get, if you stay consistent and start publishing designs daily. There's a daily limit of 60 designs per day, which you can upload on Redbubble. But trust me, it will be very difficult. At the beginning. As you do this, the process will start a little slow. You'll need the five designs on read Bible before you can start making any sales. But in a more honest way, I will say at least 30 before getting any sale. Even though red bubble don't write about this, I found it to be that very case. And yes, this is, this is it. You can justice the Arctic. And in the next videos and going to show you the long term strategy, we took print on demand. So thanks again, and we'll see you on the next one. 10. Product Pricing: Let's suppose that you have uploaded all five yard designs that you are doing your research correctly. Now let's start by talking about the pricing details. So you should just go down here, tips for new sellers and click review your product pricing. You will end up on this page. So this percentage here shows Ola, shows that margin that you are earning from selling up specific product. So bags, for example, grocery bag here, so forth, 29.49 Euros. And your margin will be for euros, which is about almost $5. Now we want to change it those markups. And at the beginning, I will say start as low side with 15 for basically every finger. And later as you start getting more sales, you can increase them by very much. Break sample. I would say that you can already start with 30% for mugs, 40 per cent for magnets, which is pretty good. Then at 20 per cent for tape is three ratings cards. You can bump them, bumping up really, really high, like 70% or even more. On my current profile, my main shop, I have it. I have them on a 100% percent. And then on, let's see, in buttons, 40 per cent. And on all the stickers, so glossy, transparent and the normal one, you can put up to 80 per cent at the beginning upfront. And you will start to sell very quickly, very quickly, and earn decent margin. So you can also add up to a 150. I'm saying like 150 per cent when you start getting a lot of tech sales, which is, for example, for the first, let's say 50 sales, then you can bump them up by 10%. And the maximum, I would say for everything else is 25. For all the bags, socks, t-shirts, and all of them basically 25, at least at a maximum or a Thursday if you're really selling really high. Because if the margin is to hide, the price in total will go up. And the people are not going to buy something that is too much, it's too expensive basically. So this is it, these are the margin that I suggest to you in the beginning. You can hire them as your sales will go up. 11. Useful strategies: Hello and welcome back. So as I said in the previous videos, stickers are very, very good for making sales. In fact, sticker packs are the thing that will boost your sales even more. As you saw before. In our designs, we have just put one image. But if you go on the upload process and you click on the sticker one and replace the image. You can upload a sticker pack, for example, you so you sold, you can sell, sorry, one sticker For nine. Basically, they're paying one year and thirty-six cents for nine stickers on less than one. You can do the same thing. Be careful to copyright rights. And basically, all of these sticker packs can sell you really, really well. And you can also bump up the margin for selling them. You can see this setting for $2 to Euros instead of one and something to yours and €4,549. So you can really high up the margin here. And it will be worth it because the customer is getting not one sticker, but many, many more. So this is it. And also another thing worth mentioning are written skirts. So written skirts are really helpful to making sales. You can sell them for a high-margin. You can make really funny and stupid ones. Those will be the stupidest, the batter. I will say. You can sell them really high because if you buy ten stickers or Dan greetings cards, you will see, you will receive a discount. So you can look at this by three and get 20 per cent off by Dan and get 30 by 15 and get 35. So this costumer is very likely to place a big border on those products. So you want to focus your attention on the products that can have the highest margin and the most probability to sell stickers, radians, cards, T-shirts, I will say yes, but focus more on stickers and greetings cards. Also Moxa cells very well. And then also tapestry. Person, athlete. I have made really good money with the tape histories, which are dose because they sell for really, really high prices. And the light for once a year you can up like $10 or in something which is really, really high. Imagine if you sell one tape is three a day, you just made really high money, like $300 per month, which is very cool in my opinion. And yes, you can just search on the rent Bible, popular tags, search if there are any specific research by the costumers for tape is three Matson, for example, coffee mugs. And so it sorts by results. You can see this is a 1 thousand, you can still try it. I mean, or maybe tape history. Really solved by results. You can see that those are Gabi, suicide boys, et cetera. And if you find that really good niche that is selling well, for example, you start selling in the Tokyo World papers. You can design stickers, greeting cards, and paper three. Team, Dubai, Tokyo, or mountains for example. And this is basically the strategy. So you have to do the research, go on to this side, start to design a new photocopier. You can also consider two by two by Photoshop. It's a monthly subscription. Subscription. I think it's really affordable. It's really cool. It works way better than Futopia and it will boost your time and efficiency. So this is basically the strategy and the long term. You want to have at least hundreds of designs before getting any sales. Remember to stay patient. To keep yourself motivated and series with come. You have to trust yourself and the process. You will get them. You can also do your own research. And in order to create a better and better designs, better and better stickers, how to use it, how to better use Photoshop. This is all up to you and this is not the goal of this course to teach you how to use Photoshop and to design the coolest and graphic design t-shirt possible. I'm not that good and it's not that useful. Basic anti-military. You just need to gain a really high, high experience on tag research. Investing your time in this thing will help you get really, really dance off sales. I can even tell you how much sales I made just by focusing on where to sell some finger and not what I am selling really. And yes, this is it. In the next video, we are going to talk about copyright issues and how to avoid them. 12. Copyright Issues: Hello and welcome back. Today we're going to talk about copyright issues and trademarks. So basically, you can publish your design on every niche and you can't design everything. For example, if you search, you see that you can probably share design. I don't know, On Stranger Things. You go here, you see that you can create a similar design. You will just search. For example, I don't know Stranger Things. On Google. You will hit on images. We'll just copy and paste the logo on a shirt. If you do it, red bubble will strike you and we'll take down your design because this is a copyright infringement. So basically, what you have to do is check if there, if there is any trademark or copyright on the thing or underneath that you want to design. So in order to do that, you have to go to trademark, yahoo.com. This is the website and search trademark here. Stranger Things. You hit search. And as you can see, there is a pizza mark for Stranger Things and also the clothing. And I'm bunch of other stuff we did the logo on. So if you go against the copyright law, your design will be taken down. And if you, if your designs will, we'll be taken down too often. Red bubble is going to close your shop. You will lose all of your designs. And with that, all of your earnings. So it's something that you have to be careful. In my history in publishing designs on red Babu. My first, my first shop that I had opened when I was still learning how to do all this stuff. You've got to take him down and you have to open one again and start from scratch and nothing really. Because when you upload something and starts to sell, basically, it gains traction and it gains some, I don't know, points or ranking. I would say on the page on the niche and on the red bubble in general. So losing all of that can be very, very frustrating. I know for sure. And please, please, please search for copyright, permission before you publish anything, or even before you start crenate creating anything. Even if you are designing for, sorry, M ring low results. Like Elton John for sure has a copyright on it. And also can you would Ferrari, red bubble bed, Bonnie, all those things as a god to trademarks. Don't risk please. It's not worth it in the end. You want to sell things that are trending. Yes. But you don't want to get your shop closed for this. So be very careful. And also trademark check here, all of the tags that you are using, two that you are using in your taxa listed when you are uploading your product. For example, search for acute posters. You see that I don't know. I call the tags will be animal usage. You search for animal here. And as you can see, they're easily animal trademarks. But be careful, you can still use animal tagging, the animal tag because it's way too general to copy ad copy an avid copyrighted. Basically, you have to stay vigilant between what you are designing it and what tags that you are using it. So be very careful, um, do your own research before publishing anything. It's your responsibility to do that. And really all that you want to do. You don't want to have your designs taken down and your shop closed. Also, there are things that you don't have to worry about. Talking about copyright. Because if you search for red Babu partner program, you can get some grants that are working with red Babu and weeklies artists to create some designs. You have to see all the guidelines, all the rules that today a brand is offering to read bubble. And you can possibly start to create some designs for these brand, which brings with it a really good audience. For example, the keys rock band, it has a really, really high fanbase that wants to buy kits itself. So you can see here all the guidelines and see how it works. Usually it isn't this groove. And you can also see all the guidelines for all the programs that are out there. And this is another strategy, I highly recommend it to you. You will have a thumb of things to try out before getting a consistent sales. And this is it. Thanks for staying with me. 13. Conclusion: Welcome back. This will be our last video. So this is our shop so far. Not so cool, but we have a diet with adequate of success. In this video, I want to talk about the conclusion of this course. What have you learned?

Good luck with everything. 14. BONUS 1: Sticker Pack Tutorial: Hello and welcome back. In this video, I'm going to show you how to create a sticker pack. So let's say that you have found your niche which has less than 600 results. You have decided what to design and you have decided also to create a sticker pack. Let's see how we can do this. So first, you will need to go on the dashboard and click on manage portfolio. Down here. It will pop up this page. Those are all of your works uploaded so far. Let's say that we want to and a sticker pack. So you want to upload a new product with the Winnipeg pride design. For example. Click edit, and then scroll down until you find the stickers. So this is the sticker. And if you click on Edit, we have seen that if you click on Replace Image, it will replace the image for the sticker, magnets, etc. So by doing this, we can create an image that has multiple images in it. And we'll see how to do it. And then by uploading, uploading the image. Here, you will see that you have just created a sticker pack. So we're going to go on photo pia. We're just going to create a new Canva. I suggest that we create a new file and do it. Six thousand, six thousand pixels. The two transparent background and click Create. So let's say that the niche is different for from the Winnipeg pride one. And that you have found that a specific niche that has a high demand greetings niche. So you will have to design a lot of ways to meet and greet people. For example, we can just select the Bowlby one SSC font. Click here, and type hello. Hit Control Plus to zoom in. Hold the Control and drag it. Neatly mentioned, Control minus to zoom out a little bit. We're going to click Control Plus out to stick it in the center. Contour minus. And we don't want the image to be bigger. We want it to be kind of small. So once you have done it, click on a text layer, click on v, so you can move it around. And we're going to place it on the left corner of the camera. So we're going to hit T again and write a new tax them. And let's say we write high rate to the exclamation mark. We're going to heat that the text layer too. I'm going to hit the button on the keyboard and place it, sorry. Transform controls. We're going to enlarge it a little bit. Okay? We're going to hit Okay. Uncheck Transform Controls. And let's place it on the right side of the cabinet, up on the right side. So if we type something else, let's say, congratulations. Next, we are going to hold the Control down. And we're going to shrink the image a little bit. Okay, We're going to hit the text layer tree. Are you going to hit V? And then click Transform Controls again in order to shrink the image a little more. Then we're going to hold control here. And then we're going to adjust it a little bit. So let's click, Enter, click, uncheck, sorry, just Pharma controls. I'm going to place it, congratulations down here next to re going to write something else. So let's say that those things that you are writing are relevant to the niche that you have found. Let's click confirm. And let's say that we are good with that. Then we can press V and click on Hello rasterized layer and duplicate the layer. So we can move it around and we have a second hello. We're going to click on high rasterize layer and then duplicate, Duplicate Layer and go into move around it again. High. So if we save Dean and just so as we export it as a PNG. And let's say that this is our sticker pack. We're going to name it. Stickers. Save. Click on the X button down here. And then click on, Replace image on here. Let's say we want to upload. A stickers. Will take some time to upload. And then as you can see, we're going to click on Edit. You have to look at the background. You will have to have some separation between the white parts. If you have a big white massa. So if those words are older, combined into one big white thing, those words or those images will stick together when you will try to remove one sticker. Basically one word in this case, or one image represents one sticker. So we have created six of them in just one product. And if we click on Apply Changes, we have created a sticker pack. You can do it with a text to images and all other stuff. I'm not going to save this work, but if you want to and if you have a founder relevant work, relevant images and saying, I don t know, for your niche, you will just need to click Save work. But as you can see here on red Babu, This person has uploaded nine pictures as I separated them on a canvas like we did in photophobia. And basically upload it on Redbubble and set a sticker as a default view for their part from the product. As you can see also this person as uploaded a lot more stickers. And the more the better, basically, but stick to be relevant. As you can see here in this image. Those are the future is accessible and no human Inigo are merged into one sticker. You want to have? I did. So be careful and space your images and texts that well, in order to not have them merged together. This is it for this video. And we'll see you on the next one. 15. BONUS 2: Class Project: Hello and welcome back. In this video, we're going to talk about the project of this course. Basically, you will have to do the entire process that I've shown you. So this is our shop. Next, you will want to go to the red Babu popular tags website and find a niche that has at least 600 results, sorry, below 600 results. So just to order the products per results, just click here on results and then find a niche. And then go ahead to photophobia. Click New Project. And select it like we did in the course. Four thousand, five hundred and five thousand, four hundred. Critique, background, transparent key to create. And then once you have found your niche and everything else, designed the product, upload it to your shop, and do really well. Search for the tax that you are going to use them by using merged item automation or by searching just to own Red bubble. So you can choose whatever niche research method that you prefer.
