Redbubble · Melbourne, Australia and San Francisco, United States · founded 2006
What it is
Redbubble connects independent artists who upload designs with customers buying products featuring them. Artists can set up a shop, create products, and add payment details through the Artist Dashboard; signup is free for people over 18. Designs can be printed on more than 70 products, including apparel, stickers, and home goods. Third-party manufacturers make products to order and ship them around the world. Artists can use custom branding, customer personalization, and design and mockup tools. A shop becomes publicly visible when it has at least five public artworks, with at least one enabled product for each design. The Artist Analytics Dashboard reports earnings over time, audience traffic sources, and top-selling artwork and products. Artists can connect social accounts, link external portfolios such as Instagram, Flickr, Behance, and Dribbble, and embed designs on their own site. The mobile app does not support uploading artwork or managing an artist portfolio. Redbubble is available on Android, iOS, and the web, and its marketplace is free to join.

Redbubble gives artists a marketplace for selling designs on made-to-order products, with shop analytics and portfolio links. Review the shop visibility threshold, payment threshold, and mobile app limits before getting started.
Who it suits
Redbubble suits independent artists who want to offer designs on made-to-order products and manage a shop through its Artist Dashboard. Artists who need to upload or manage a portfolio must use something other than the mobile app for those tasks.
