Redbubble
If you hate reading:
A. Totally valid.
B. TL;DR—I sell inspirational quote tees on Redbubble, a print-on-demand site.
Most liked tee design
Second Most liked tee design
Third Most liked tee design
But why?
The long and short of it is—I have no clue.
The best guess I have is this: these designs all came out around the same time, about a month or two after I opened the shop. None of them have sold, but they seem to resonate with a broad audience.
To me, this suggests that Redbubble probably gives new artists a bit of a visibility boost, showing their work to people who like a lot of content. It might be a way to build confidence early on, even if no sales are made.

But Why?
Again, I don’t have any real data on why one design sells better than another—but I do have some speculation.
Actually, maybe “speculation” isn’t the right word this time, because I really have no idea. Let’s just call them observations.
Anyway, the designs that have sold are significantly more recent than the ones that only got likes. And interestingly, they have relatively low like counts.
My Favorite design
Second Favorite design
Third Favorite design
But Why?
This time, I actually do have an answer.
The Concorde blueprints are my favorite because I love supersonic planes—and the Concorde was a supersonic passenger jet, which is just really cool. The blueprints turned out great, and honestly, it’s the kind of shirt I’d wear myself.
The really long quote? I like it because it feels so true—especially when applied to my Redbubble journey. It’s like a reflection of how the store didn’t hit that big $20,000 sales goal (not even close), but I’ve still learned so much along the way.
As for the last one? There’s no deep meaning. I just love my 3D printer. That design is exactly what it looks like—plain and simple.
