[PROVEN METHOD] Passive Income through POD Websites

I got my first sale on RedBubble after 1-2 weeks (that particular design I sold was uploaded 2 days before, so that was quite fast sale). I didn't do any promotion or didn't share my links anywhere, so it sold directly from Redbubble which is great news for a newbie like me!

I jumped into this thinking I would spend no more than several days creating some popular designs and then just waiting for money to flow in (especially after looking into some youtube videos where people have earned thousands of $$$ by very simple designs). But I ended up working non-stop 14-16 hours a day for 2 weeks

The one sale I got is from 186 uploaded designs (and these are not basic designs). You can search "artado" oon redbubble, go into my store and sort by best-selling and you should see the one I sold as I sold just one design so far. All my designs are more graphic based, but I start to think text based designs work better as they can approach wider audience. I read somewhere that out of 10 most sold t-shirts in the world 4 were simple text based t shirts. Also, feel free to like my works, I will try to like some back, I think we should help each other when starting out to get more exposure.

I also registered at some other POD websites, will try my luck there too. I did some analysis, here are top 10 POD websites you can sell your art, based on traffic they get (I checked on Alexa). I was surprised by some of them having more traffic than others. There are other players, these are the biggest in terms of traffic (I didn't include etsy as you need to combine it with Printful/Printify for it to work)

1. Merch by Amazon (10th)
2. RedBubble (493th)
3. TeeSpring (1081th)
4. Zazzle (1542th)
5. Society6 (3736th)
6. FineArtAmerica (5126th)
6. TeePublic (5347th)
7. Displate (6360th)
8. SpreadShirt (8246th)
9. Threadless (10424th)
10. Cafepress (11787th)

Jack Ingram is a new POD YouTuber who is going all in for the past months. He has been doing 20 designs per day for over 4 months - started in August.

He posted an income video last week and had 1900 designs and $152 US income.

Ryan Hogue is great. He also does low content KDP and Amazon FBA but I watch his POD vids.

I know this question was asked more than a few million times but:

How can I avoid Redbubble ban?

I have created 3 accounts so far, all banned without any clear explanation

#1 Account was banned just 1 day after creation, maybe because I'm not from an English-speaking country (I'm from Vietnam)

#2 Account was banned after I submited my 20th or 21st design (they're all text design), this account was created using US VPS, I made my first sale too

#3 Account was banned after I submited my 2nd design, this was created using US VPS, too (different IPs)

So at this time I don't know what to do, Redbubble is too confusing.

Any help or advice would be appreciated

Where do you get your designs from?

They are all simple text designs, made with Photoshop. Since I don't know how to draw and stuff like that.

Very cool. I just got 2 sales from 1 design so far, but sticker + pins. Low cost, thinking about making more but I put a lot of effort into designing them (custom).

Yep, my first sale was just $0.36 (selling a sticker), it feels good. But unfortunately that account got suspended for unknown reason . So now I'm looking for possible explanations to this.

can any country register?

Too many designs maybe. My design is personally made by me and I do not mass upload designs.

Well, I think it's impossible. Since there're only 20 designs in total , and I uploaded 1-2 designs daily, which is not many imho. Redbubble is sure full of surprises.

Traffic is a problem in this case, quotes r a good idea, i'd say quotes + trendy stuffs = successful mix with no need to look for traffic

 

[Watercolorz]

If you think you can add a couple of designs and make money you will be sadly mistaken. You can go broke fast paying for art, trust me I know. It's better to partner with a artist and offer them 75% of sales you make on the art. You provide the accounts and do the uploads. They provide ORIGINAL work.
