Redbubble

Anyone had any success with this outfit ????

Yes!

I have sold a couple of Greetings Cards, but......and it is a big but......I don't create enough new work to generate much excitement, so lack of sales is my fault entirely.

Redbubble, WILL work if you take the time to runs and maintain your pages regularly, and make a REAL efforts to make your creations stand out against the thins ands of others.

Internalise all the criteria essential for uploading, printing and production across the product range.

Explore what other Artists and Photographers are creating and selling.....all the Stats are available.

TIPF member Korky has sold a few of his creations too, but like me, I don't think he uploads work very often?.....perhaps he will be kind enought to add his pennorth?

Good Luck!

Have a go......it is a fantastic feeling if a sake us made.......don't expect Redbubble to put a couple of quid into your bank account though......sales need to be good and regular for that.

I sold a T shirt last night for a whopping.... £2.75 commission lol sites like redbubble, Istock, p4m etc can work but they will never make you rich mate

I have uploaded 30 images but when I tried to put them in collections as suggested their site was having none of it.....

I think that you need to study their Upload criteria.

I have uploaded the images but the site will not let me sort them.....I have sent an email to their support geeks.....

I have sold 3 cards, all the same picture, they now owe me £0.74

 

it is such a massive site though I'm not sure anyone would have much success without uploading thousands of pictures?

[Korky]

I've had maybe eight sales and I agree with what's been said in that it's a gigantic site and the chances of images being noticed are very slim.

 

It's nice to think that someone, somewhere likes the images enough to put hand in pocket and shell out some cash, but as mentioned, RedBubble won't make you a millionaire.

 

Good luck, keep us posted as to how you fare!

Out of curiosity I went and had a look at Redbubble, there appears to be a ton of images created in Adobe Illustrator or similar, lots of photo-shopped Landscapes.

Most of the work is very good, but I just don't see the point unless you have exhausted other avenues?

I tend to use local pubs and hotels to sell my 'local' images and whilst I'm never going to make a living I think I will probably make more than via this kind of web site?

Have you tried approaching a local gallery?  Most will take a framed print or two, although they will charge for the privilege so remember to build in that cost before hand.
