It’s a normal situation for someone to start a business. You don’t, right away, make a bunch of sales. It started slowly, but by the next month I had made double the sales. My stuff started getting all over the site. The process at the start was kind of slow, but it was fine, it’s going good.

Do you have any tips for people who want to start selling their creations on Redbubble?

The way I found my way around getting all over the site pretty quickly was to make sure the title of your product or design is commonly searched on the Internet. Normally what I would do is try to search something on google that’s related to the theme of the design or idea, and see if it comes up quickly. Also, they have a keyword place to put tags on the product. Usually I put popular vocabulary on there that’s related to the product, so it comes up more frequently on the Internet.
