[Journey] - Make whatever xxx$ per month from POD platforms

I've been an IM for almost 2 years now, you know how much I earned? less than 35$

Reason: well, I can say the first reason is that I don't have enough money to invest it in such things, such as for example paying SEMruch, or Ahrefs, or outsourcing articles ....and so on.

I live in a really bad country I should say, so the dollar for my country is something really big. 1$ in my country is like 8$ ...

Anyway, let's move on from complaining. this journey will be only about POD, and it's my first journey here. I hope I can motivate you and myself to make this journey great and achieve my goals, which are: xxx$ per month from POD.

Update 0:​

I've designed over 130 designs and uploaded them to Redbubble, I got 2 sales with a total of 8$, but I only get paid for 7$ and then my account has been suspended for no clear reason.

To-Do list 1:​

- Create a new account in Redbubble.
- Create a new logo, cover pic ... etc.
- Finish all settings (payment settings, bio ... etc).
- Upload 1 design.

Update 0.1:​

- Spend: 0$
- Designs: 0
- Earned: 0$

- Profit: 0$

If you have any ideas to say, any platforms to suggest, please share them with me.
Thank you.

GL mate.
What is your marketing plan?

Good luck. All your designs are created by you? In your banned account you have used keywords or designs of popular brands?

i just created redbubble account and the day later it got disabled. redbubble is shit. i prefer gearbubble

You can share you designs on related subreddits and try to get free traffic from there. Good luck.

Until now, my plan is this:
- Create as many evergreen designs as I can.
- Create trends designs based on Google Trends and some other tools.

In the advanced plan, I will move on from Redbubble, and try Merch by Amazon, and at that time, I may buy (If I earned some money) a subscription with Vexels or CreativeFabrica to make high-quality designs.

More Advance plan --> Invest money in advertisment.

Yes, all designs were unique with no copyright, no trademark. even the tags had no trademark. the problem I have is in this tweet:


And yeah, I was a victic because of their fucking bot. I've contacted them after that several times, but they didn't answer me.

they have baaaad bots. really bad ones. All I can say is try again, and try to finish the settings first and then upload.

Good luck with your future plans

You need to list your designs on as many platforms as you can, don't rely only on Redbubble.
For example, Etsy has way more traffic than Redbubble. There are other platforms like Teepublic, Society6, Teespring...less traffic.
Everyone will recommend Etsy, so you need to try them.

Your OP made me cringe a bit.

- You can buy cracked accounts or use services for ahrefs like supremseo and similar
- Articles you can write yourself, steal them or find from expired pages then spin and edit them to make them unique

But it's good that you moved on from complaining and you gained some self-consciousness. good luck on your journey, you will succeed if you will stop blaming the world around you and take responsibility for what you do.

RedBubble is a shit. They closed my account for no reason

Any update matey?

Update 0.2​

I was too busy with my studying, and finally, I got a bachelor (I should fucking celebrate for that). So now, let's come back to work.

I must say that I was also busy with my SEO website, I guess I'll start a journey to scale it (I have an idea to motivate myself better)

Anyway, about this journey:

- The 7.7 $ earned is from an old account (I thought making it in the table would motivate me : D)
- I didn't do a lot of designs as you can see (only 8 designs), but I will now focus more on doing designs.
- I'm also thinking about buying some PSDs from Vexels to help me do a lot of designs in few times. I'm still confused to do this step (so if you have any experience with Vexels, please let me know)

That's all for this update.

Good luck and hope you will earn a lot more

I've got about 150 designs and only few of them make money and all of them are copyrighted.. movie quotes, game quotes, memes etc..
If you're willing to risk try it out..

35 $ in 2 months shows you need to work harder. Hope you get success this time.

POD platforms can make you money. In fact, we're not just talking about 3 figures per month.

I know someone personally who makes 5 figures month after month like clockwork.

What's shocking about POD is that a lot of people have misconceptions about it. The most common misconception is that you have to spend money to make money.

Not true!

Unlike other ways of making money online, POD is actually one method that is not capital intensive.

Now, you may be thinking to yourself: "How can this be? Don't I need designs for shirts, hoodies, mugs, and other print-on-demand items?"

Yes, you do!

But here's the secret: Text designs (and I'm just talking about plain quotes here with regular fonts and no backgrounds) make the same or even more money than more elaborate designs.

Because the closer you get to an elaborate design that's all your own, the more money you're going to have to shell out.

Who knows when you'll get that money back? And who knows if you'll even make a profit?

The closer you stick to just plain letters against a color background, the closer you'll be to profitability.

And the good news is my friend is making money hand over fist with plain text designs.

So the key is to find the right quotes and market them in the right channels.

And the good news is social media is the best place to find quotes that you can convert into text print-on-demand shirts as well as the traffic for that POD.

So I'm just throwing that out there because I think that the OP is definitely on the right path.

POD, when it comes to initial capital outlay and passive income, is definitely very attractive.

Just compare it to blogging. Blogging takes a lot of time, effort, and energy upfront.

And if you don't have the time you better be ready with the money to get others to blog for you.

Not so with POD!

You just have to pick the right niches, know where the audience for this niche hangs out online, and market away.

Thank you, you really motivate me to do more.

I have a question if you don't mind, about quotes. Isn't it copyright? like if I use a quote from a movie, or maybe from a book!

Or I guess u mean using quotes (general quotes) that have no owner. ex: quotes for motivation

Hi Danki

Do not use COPYRIGHTED info

Instead find quotes from long dead people that people love to share online

That's how you know there's demand for that quote
