First thanks @RealDaddy for posting the POD Thread ! I got inspired from the thread and started my work with canva and worked 10-12 hours a day making designs and I was posting 50/day in redbubble i have started to have lots of fav in redbubble and followers ! all of sudden the account got suspended.

Lesson learned always run your own site ,those who are doing redubble kindly reconsider check reddit also redbubble scams people once you reach the limit and steals your customers
 
The biggest problem is that even if you don't suffer from these problems and your RedBubble account runs perfectly, they only give a tiny share of profit in exchange for your hard work.

You are better off creating a Shopify/Woocommerce store, uploading designs and investing in paid ads. Or at least post in FB groups and organically on TikTok.
 
Sorry to hear that happened to you. Sounds like a bad company. I’m curious about the POD thread you mentioned. Will you please link it?

The saddest part is there is artist support or no email to contact them to ask what went wrong ! I think all artists should avoid redbubble

You make it sound so easy... I did exactly this. Bought a POD store design service here on BHW, bought another very reputable paid ads service here on BHW, put $500+ in ads and 0 sales. So what did I do wrong?

Not that easy to make sales. It's over saturated. Artists with an established followers base would make sales and sustain the business. When running ads, you're bound to burn a lot of money before finding your winning audience and that may never even happen.
People do redbubble or any other platform for that matter because of the free traffic. All these shopify dropshipping and POD gurus are full of shit, don't listen to them.

if you tried to sell shirts, you already started wrong
to sell POD on shopify you need to sell higher ticket and less saturated products

I don`t know how to get traffic to the store. Once I know how to do that I can build another store and offer someting more than just apparel. There are million opinions here on BHW, some say tshirt business will never die.. So what now, are the ones making money only those that sell ebooks and "methods"? BHW is so overwhelming with info for newbies that don`t know where to start.

Not really. If you take this serious you create 1 design and use that design on multiple sites. Therefore you wiill a huge exposure to your designs that you now reuse.
Creating your own site involves much more time and money and definitely does not bring the same opportunities you have with such large marketplaces.
 
all of sudden the account got suspended.
Did they give you a specific reason why you were suspended?
