How does RedBubble work?
You begin by uploading digital files of your artwork to RedBubble. Each product we offer has a fixed base price which is the amount RedBubble keeps for making and shipping the product to your customer. You can then add a 'mark up' on top of this, which is the part of the price you keep when your artwork sells. Add 3%, 30% or 300% - it's your choice.
Example:
If the base price of a greeting card is $3 and you add a mark up of
50%, your customer will pay $4.50
RedBubble will keep the $3 base price to cover manufacturing and
payment processing costs, and you get the 50% mark up (in this case
that equals $1.50)
You'll then get paid automatically, once you have accrued the
minimum
amount.
Uploading your work is only part of the equation. First and foremost the RedBubble community is about encouragement and support. We believe in the power of positive reinforcement. RedBubble is also a place to be inspired, meet like-minded folks, exchange ideas, learn, make friends and more. But the foundation of the community is its supportive and encouraging nature.
One of the best ways to get started is to join a group and add some of your work to it.
