what's up guys Ryan here so today I'm
gonna show you like one of the most
valuable lessons I think I could show
you which is how I personally make
progress with my print-on-demand
business everyday pretty much no matter
what and that's because I'm constantly
pushing fbm products to my Amazon seller
central account every day and for the
most part throughout the day I mean if
I'm at a computer I'm always doing it
and I've released a video in the past
where I talked about how I pushed 200
products to Amazon from my phone using
instead of the printful integration
which I'm about to show you I used your
bubble butt fbm if you're wondering what
that means that means fulfilled by
merchants so most people when we think
about Amazon we think about FBA
where you buy products ahead of time
import them from overseas send them to
Amazon's fulfillment centers and then as
they sell Amazon does the pick pack and
ship to the customer but in fbm case
that means like it's like selling on
eBay basically you put something up on
eBay someone buys it you ship it to them
right but with FBM p OD fulfilled by
merchant print-on-demand products we
essentially are just listing a product
that doesn't exist someone buys it we
outsource the fulfillment creation and
shipping to the customer we just collect
a profit very similar to Amazon merch
but obviously Amazon merch is restricted
in its products and you know it's not
like everything ever that could ever
exist is on Amazon merch right if we use
the printful and Amazon integration we
have so many more products that we can
upload and sell on Amazon so I'm gonna
show you one of my favorites if you guys
have been watching my videos you
probably know where I'm going I'm going
to hats hats are super simple so even if
you don't have time to design and
research and whatnot you can make a hat
super easily just put some text up there
I've also done other videos where I talk
about how to optimize your designs for
hats because that is a thing I had
learned this the hard way over time but
I'm gonna show you I'm gonna just upload
a hat to Amazon through the printful
integration so the dad hat in my
experience selling hats I've sold
probably at this point over ten thousand
of them I've sold eight
of hats not just on Amazon but on Etsy
too
I'm gonna use my hug dealer example so
this design is optimized for hat by the
way what that really means is that I cut
out all the additional space let me show
you what happens if you upload an Amazon
merge standard design standard t-shirt
design to a hat you'll see that you'll
notice this like very quickly so you see
what it did there it put the whole
design in the full fillable area the
embroidery area on the Hat and because
there's so much extra space it's not
optimized then you have to like kind of
drag and resize and you don't want to be
doing that it's not it's not an optimal
approach to doing this so if you cut out
the extra space you can just select it
it automatically fills in the fills it
up as much as possible then you have to
pick an embroidery color I'm just gonna
pick white keep it simple it looks like
that's cut off a little bit alright
there we go
so we have our hats and by the way
there's no harm in selecting more hat
colors so I'm gonna select every color
but white because white on white tends
not to look good like the baby blue the
pink stone they all look good all right
I hit next hit next again you just say
hug dealer hat and I like to say
embroidered dad cap and I can't type
today in Reuters dad cap and then the
tags is only showing up because I'm
actually using my demo account which is
only linked to an Etsy school that's
East or if you're posting the Amazon
directly you won't see the tags so
that's only there cuz I'm doing this as
a demo all right then we select our
price I'm going to do I don't know I
like to do around like you can be like
24.95
thing is if you're pushing to Amazon I'd
suggest at least $10 so 25 95 or $25.99
whatever you think works
Amazon's referral fee is higher than
anybody else's I've ever seen so ten
dollars is about right plus with hats
guys don't forget if you've never sold
this design before there's a one-time
digitisation fee that printful will
charge you
I think they reduced it down to like six
dollars and change
maybe it's like 695 or something it used
to be higher so thank you for reducing
that that fee printful but yeah so this
is ten dollars four cents that's about
where I like to be with Amazon after it
assuming that the designs already
digitized we might keep shoulda done the
math ahead of time it's like five
dollars and change I think maybe four
dollars and change after Amazon's fees
so then you would hit submit again I'm
using an Etsy store right now as a demo
but assuming this was pushed to Amazon
because I don't like to show my all my
designs in my main account but assuming
this was pushed to Amazon guys there's
one last step so I just took this
screenshot out of my seller central
account well one of them you can see
actually if you look it's my european
seller central account proof that i do
sell in europe by the way but when you
see this so when you go in your seller
central to the inventory tab and then
manage inventory this is the screen you
see you'll always see the most recently
created product listing automatically at
the top and if you see this where
everything's incomplete my suggestion is
to wait until it no longer shows you
what you're seeing in this screenshot so
when it's done it'll look like a normal
product listening it'll say status I
don't know if it says complete but
you'll also see like the image thumbnail
now the image thumbnails like the last
thing to render so if you don't see
incomplete under status but you don't
see the thumbnail you're good to push
another product but they do throttle you
if you push too many too quickly so just
keep that in mind guys that's pretty
much it though like when it's done you
push another product you just keep
pushing them all day and this way you
build out your catalog these are gonna
be available for sale all year round
unlike Amazon merch where they fall off
eventually if they don't get a sale now
merch used to be 90 days then it was 180
days now is 365 so if you guys are new
to Amazon merch you are lucky when it
was 90 days I had to reload my catalog
so many times that's why ivory uploaded
I have manually uploaded to Amazon merch
over 13,000 times because I was doing
that before the beta uploader even
existed so yeah I've put in my time I've
gotten my hands dirty with the uploading
nowadays I use an automated uploader but
save that for another time guys thank
