How to Sell On Redbubble

If you want to start a business, print-on-demand is the best business because start-up cost is virtually non-existent. If you are thinking about starting a print-on-demand business, you should try Redbubble.  That’s because you can list unlimited products at zero cost.

Research

Design

Search Engine Optimization

Actually, whether you are selling well or not also depends on these three things.

You begin by searching for a trending product. Find the keywords that people are tying on Redbubble, and find keywords that are driving traffic from search engines to redbubble.

If you use photoshop or Indesign, that’s fine but even if you don’t use these tools, you can use a drag and drop tool like Canva. Canva free does not allow you to download transparent backgrounds, you can use photopea to remove backgrounds or make design changes.

Use the proper title and tags to describe your product.
