Summary

The author advocates for using Pinterest as an effective free traffic source to maximize exposure and sales on Redbubble, having found it more successful than previous attempts with Facebook and Instagram.

Abstract

The article emphasizes the importance of self-promotion for achieving consistent sales on Redbubble, a print-on-demand platform. The author, who relies on Redbubble as a primary source of passive income, shares their journey of experimenting with various free traffic methods.

If you have been following me on Medium, my primary passive income source is Redbubble.

Since starting on the Medium platform in early 2020, I have dived into every aspect of creating, marketing and boosting my Redbubble stores.

You can find my highest-read Redbubble article here:

In the last three years, I have tested multiple free traffic methods to boost exposure and sales on Redbubble. Now, I understand that it does promote its platform to potential customers through Google, but more is needed.

To succeed on Redbubble and enjoy the pattern of consistent daily sales, you need to take marketing and promotion into your own hands.

Here is what I have previously tried:

  • Branded Facebook business page for my store.
  • Facebook group based on my main niche.
  • Branded Instagram page for my store.

All of the above failed miserably because of one main thing: my lack of consistency, which I hold complete responsibility for since managing these pages, as well as juggling KDP and YouTube, were weighing me down.

I stopped everything and wanted to focus on an easy-to-use and managed platform that brought consistent results.

I came across Pinterest, which checked all the boxes: Ease, efficiency, and fun to ease.

I am not too hyper-fixated on follower and view count anymore.

Here is my exact Pinterest strategy outlined below:

Takeaway:

If you’re not using Pinterest, you are missing out.

Utilize the free strategies on this beautiful platform and reap the benefits over time.

This is not to say that the three other methods outlined above are unsuccessful. They simply did not work for me for me at that time.
