Simple Step-By-Step Guide To Get Started Selling Stickers
If you want to get started making money on print-on-demand sites such as RedBubble, Etsy, and Teepublic, then creating simple sticker designs is the best way to start and scale this side hustle.
Why am I saying this? Simply because I have experienced firsthand, the power of stickers in boosting my earnings throughout the last three years as a casual seller on Redbubble.
As of today, 75% of my revenue on the platform is primarily simple text-based sticker designs that took me 2–3 minutes to design.
For this reason, you might assume that I have primarily designed stickers but the truth is the majority of my portfolio of 400+ unique designs ranges from tapestries, T-shirts, mugs, and wall clocks.
Yet the 80–20 rule truly makes sense in this context, as only 20% of my designs (black and white text stickers) are selling yet the 80% make casual sales every few weeks.
Why Selling Stickers Will Boost Your Earnings
I could sit here and talk for hours about why you should never underestimate the power of these little beauties, yet I’ll simplify it into three points:
- Stickers are easy to create
- Stickers are easily customizable to any niche
- Stickers are more affordable, encouraging buyers to purchase bundles all at once because of price affordability.
For the above reasons, they are easily scalable.
How I Sell Stickers
- This is only applicable to Redbubble, although I have seen the most success on that platform, yet feel free to try it out on Etsy, Teepublic, Teespring, and Zazzle.
- I use Canva to design stickers and Creative Fabrica to find winning sticker designs. Please make sure you change the original designs by adding your own touch and elements to make them your own.
- In Canva I use the maximum size of 5000pixels x 5000 pixels to design my stickers, which includes larger stickers as well as bundle sticker packs.
