How to create your Redbubble Shop

From setting up your Redbubble shop to selling your first design ,this step by step tutorial is all you need ! Rohan Kar May 8·7 min read

Step 1:

Firstly, Go to the redbubble website .Then click on the ‘Signup’ button above.

You should see something like the image below.

Step 2:

Now you will get the option to choose whether you want to sell or buy. Since we want to create our shop and sell ,Click on the ‘Artist signup’ button .

Then just enter your email id and give a new password for your Redbubble account.

In the Shop name, enter any name you want your shop to be , e.g. AbstractArt.

And, one more thing, the shop name must be unique (sorta like usernames in instagram), so you might have to brainstorm for the perfect store name a lil bit.

Finally ,Click Sign Up .

This is what you will see now:

The redbubble dashboard

Congratulations ! You just created your very first Redbubble shop :)

Step 3:

Ok , so our shop has been created but its still not opened yet. Why? Because we still need to do one last thing . We have to confirm our account and payment details so that Redbubble can send us the earnings we get from our future sales ;)

Alright, Let’s start .

Click on the ‘confirm e-mail’ button.

You will reach at the ‘edit payment’ section as shown below.

Step 4:

Confirm your e-mail first. Go to your mail inbox and click on the given link .

It will redirect you back as shown below. Now Fill up your Actual Name and Residential Address (I’ll leave it up to you).

Step 5:

After that is done, Scroll down and choose the currency you want to be paid in.

Redbubble will send your earnings either by PayPal or directly to your bank account(UK,US, Australian Banks only). I am going with Canadian Dollars so this is what I will see:

Click on the “Option 1” checkbox. Now select “Verify PayPal Account” button.

Click on the ‘Connect with Paypal’ Button . This will take you to the paypal login page . Just login in your PayPal account and that’s it. Your PayPal has been verified.

Finally click on the checkbox and ‘save changes’ button.

Ok, our payment details has been verified and done .

Step 6:

Let us edit our profile picture and cover image for our shop. Click on the ‘edit profile’ option under the Account Settings.

Now you may simply click ‘choose file’ and select where your image is stored. Click Upload. It will take you to your shop’s main page as shown below.

Done! And another thing , the ‘favorited’ means the number of times your design has been liked by people. So let’s say if you have 2 designs and 12 people liked it(by clicking the heart button), then it will show 12 Favorited. Great, let’s move on , we are almost there.

Click on your profile picture next to the search bar at the top. A drop down should appear like this:

Step 7:

Click on ‘Account Settings’ .After that is done, scroll down to the ‘Profile’ section:

Here, you can choose whether to show your real name or your username. I suggest you choose to show only your username (I like my Privacy:).

You may add a bio for your shop .This bio will appear at the bottom of your shop page. A bio is not compulsory and it’s perfectly fine to leave it blank.

Scroll down further and click on ‘Save Changes’.

And our Redbubble Shop is all set up and ready to roll :)

Final Step:

Time to sell !!!

Ok our platform is ready now so let’s bring in our designs and start spreading it all across the world.

Click on ‘Dashboard’ under the Artist Tools section on your left.

Click ‘Add new work’ on the top-right corner to sell your design.

Choose the left one (upload new work).

Choose the design file (JPG or PNG). After that this what you will see:

Title : Name of your design (e.g. If your design is of a blue bird, then one name could be ‘beautiful blue bird’).

Tags: Here write the Keywords related to your design and make sure to add coma after each tag (e.g. blue, bird, animal , nature, watercolor).

Description: Any description about your design you like (e.g. “This is a watercolor style painting of a blue bird. Perfect for gifting to your loved ones.”)

Here’s what I came up with:

Scroll down to ‘Product Previews’ and you will see all the products on which your design will appear and how they will appear on each of the products available.

Now let’s say I want my design to appear on a black background. How will I do that? Simple. Just scroll up again and change the color to your liking.

As you can see now , almost all of the products have the color black now except for the two t-shirts above so we will adjust these two manually.

Now select any of the t-shirts by clicking the ‘edit button’ which appears on each of these products.

Now It’s pretty self-explanatory what you can do here. I will select the black color and also drag my design upwards a lil bit. Click ‘Save changes’ and you are done.

Similarly, you can change the color and position for every product available. Make sure you check all of your products and whether the design is placed nicely on each one of them.

Now After you are done, scroll down to the last section of the page.

For Media, select the category which best suits your design.

Keep the Default product in your shop as ‘Optimized’.

Select if your design is mature(nsfw ) or safe for everyone by choosing yes or no.

Finally click the checkbox and then Click on the ‘Save work’ button. This will publish your design on your Shop.

VOILA!! We did it , We just published our first redbubble design.

So we went from creating our shop to publishing our first design on Redbubble. That took a lil while, didn’t it? But It was also worth it in the end for we now have a perfect source of Passive income. Have a Great Day !
