okay and if you haven't subscribed to my channel subscribe to my channel hit that notification bell
let's get into the content all right finding the right niche right what i recommend is you
start with something that sh you know okay and this one niche can make you a thousand dollars
a month if it's done correctly it could probably even make you more it can make you that one is you
could probably make you five thousand dollars a month right if it's all done correctly okay
think about the niche as a whole and how are you going to dominate the niche and be the best
in that niche okay so it's very very powerful that you understand that okay knowing your niche
from the phrases the funny sayings and staying ahead of your competition is powerful because
you can just rank your products on the front page over and over and over if it's done correctly okay
at the very beginning it may be a struggle and you may you know it may be a challenge for you
but once you start to make sales and be consistent in that niche you get an understanding of what you
need to do you learn your niche you learn your audience and you learn what your customer wants
give your customer what they want and you'll make sales and it sounds easy right
an example of a niche tool as well it can be an english bulldog it can be any type of dog breed
right that's a niche right there okay it could be cats okay it could be hobbies anything that
you like to do sports soccer mom okay soccer dad okay whatever whatever it is to you okay and any
of that okay occupation if you're a nurse okay if you're a um i wonder why yesterday you told
so a me a dentist like all these all these there's all kinds of different niches okay
right here think about uh something that may interest you that you want to start creating
designs for okay and then you can go to on to any of these platforms okay and like amazon.com
and see if there's a demand for it and if there is a demand for it you'd be the best in that
niche and you'll make money all right the next thing is that creating a good design okay now
what does that mean don't think that it has to be some crazy out of this world type of design
okay because it doesn't have to be it can be a simple text based a funny saying in that niche
okay it can be text based with graphic okay or it could just be text based it can be um just a
graphic illustration right and those are very very powerful because they they do stand out and they
do make a lot of sales right and i could if you do your research you can look at this type of stuff
you can see that the demand for illustration is pretty good there's also a demand for tech space
text based designs sell really well too so if you're creating text-based designs and you want
to turn it up a little bit right you want to start creating this elements for yourself okay
um like illustrations and stuff like that you can a graphic right so like let's say
you're in the soccer niche you have some texts with a soccer in the middle right
football whatever you want to call it okay and you want to say start creating custom illustrations
you know custom graphics and stuff like that you can either one you know learn how to do it
right which takes a lot of time that's okay that's okay two outsource it hire somebody you know or
find a friend that can help you out with this type of stuff me personally i've outsourced it and i
have you know some really good illustrators on my team really good artists on my team
all right or number three or you can sign up for any of these these places that provide graphics
like freepik.com okay if you go over there if you sign up for them you can use you know um yes
obviously have to follow their terms and service right there's something like that there's vexels
too as well you have to sign up when you sign up for them follow terms and service and you can
you can use any of their you know basically the graphics as long as you follow the rules make sure
because every single platform is different when it comes to this make sure you're following the rules
very very important okay doing this type of stuff like this will help you get kind of get a head
start get a jump start you know maybe your goal is to make 500 a month right when you make the 500
a month you're going to outsource and have some custom illustrations made for your business right
and that's something that i've done i built a team around that which is very very powerful
as you start to grow okay when you start to grow your business you want to think about how you
know how you're going to grow it even more and create more opportunity for yourself okay now
you're creating all these good designs and stuff like that right and how are you going to
stay ahead of creating these designs so if you're creating these designs for yourself you know you
want to think about all the new sayings that are happening in that niche if you live like you live
inside of your niche you know all the new sayings that are being said inside of that niche okay and
obviously you want to check for trademarks one of the most important things uh when it comes to any
of this stuff making sure that you know you're not infringing on someone else's you know information
and all that right you don't want to be doing that type of stuff so make sure that you're double
checking for that too of course but staying ahead of you know these phrases and stuff in the niche
will help create less competition for yourself okay because you know what's going on before
anyone else does and then you're like oh what up that is a design idea okay and i can put this on
a shirt it may not sell tomorrow it may sell in two weeks it may sell in two months three months
all right i have some designs that have sold it took about eight months for them to sell but
they sold right um so think about it that way okay it's more of a long term play um but obviously you
all you want to create something that sells fast right and that's a goal but it can all be done is
just the research staying ahead of everything and you know putting a system in place for yourself
to help you create that opportunity for you to make sales in that niche okay making sure that you
make sure that you have a system in place for all this too as well okay everything that i'm telling
you in here put a system in place for yourself my system is different than your system and
your system is probably different than my system because you understand it i don't understand your
system i understand my system because i created it for myself okay and what does that mean one
day research one day design okay that's what i mean and then the next day upload right and stuff
like that so making sure that you have a system in place is very very important okay when it comes to
anything anything related to business having a system is key okay now optimizing your listing
think about how a customer is going to search for your product okay think about it this way customer
is going onto amazon.com they're searching for funnymonkey okay when they search for funnymonkey
you pop up with the design that they want and they make a purchase that is the goal right here and if
you can do that you can get a product you can start getting products ranked on the front page
okay this is very very powerful because that's all it is that's all you need to do right and
it sounds simple right that's all you need to do okay so if you do that and give the customer
what they want you're going to make sales faster and you're going to make sales consistently okay
and this is what i talk this is what i mean i mean like
keyword research is just as important as the design or if not more important because if you
do your keyword research correctly you can see new design ideas when you're doing keyword research
and sometimes when you do your research you'll see people searching for things and there's no designs
that's one way to do research okay and that's very very powerful because if you see it ahead of
everyone else the rest of your competition you're ahead of everyone boom you're gonna make money
okay because you're gonna be the first design up okay and that's what we all want right with more
and more competition coming on the platform it's like a struggle to figure out how am i gonna stand
out from these first six pages on amazon and i'm ranking number seven which brings me to a topic of
when you're creating these designs and you're creating what everyone else is creating
so they have a phrase on a shirt okay and you create that same phrase on that shirt
how are you okay you're gonna rank on page five how are you gonna stand out so think about it
when you're doing all this research and you're doing all this stuff and you're creating the
design when you put the design that everyone else is doing you're gonna rank on page five you gotta
figure something out right there right there's something wrong you're gonna right and i will get
into that more in this video watch to say to the very end because we're gonna talk more about that
because that's gonna be hard if you're creating the same and i see a lot of people do this
create the same phrase that everyone else is creating and you're ranking page six and you're
not making no sales and you're asking yourself why why am i not making no sales why what i mean
by optimizing your listing is your brand okay if you don't have a brand on amazon or if you're just
creating you know there's several different ways you can do this this is not just one way if you
create a brand you can create a brand obviously you know you create your own brand and stuff and
put everything under one um one brand or if you're just creating brands by niche which is you know
it's that works too as well they both work okay um you want to make sure that you have solid keywords
in there and then the num the next part is be the title okay and then putting that together
correctly and i have a video right up here going over all of that and i'll show you exactly hold
your hand and i'll show you exactly how to create a list and put it all together okay so watch that
video up there okay very very powerful but finish this video first of course um the title okay then
the bullet points in the description make sure you have all this all lined up correctly because
if it's all lined up correctly and you're making sales with this product right there's a possible
chance that you can rank on google next and if you rake on google that means more traffic so
think about these keywords as being traffic to your listing okay on amazon make sure you have
all this in place and the next thing you know you're starting to rank on google and getting more
traffic from there so you're like probably double four extra traffic five extra traffic six six
six extra traffic if you put these keywords all together very very very powerful designing
an eye catching design okay um now think about let's say if you have a top selling design in a
niche already or if you plan on creating a top selling design in a niche already
search in the search bar okay whatever you plan on you know say they say your funny monkey shirt
right or whatever product that you're selling on merch by amazon there's a ton of products that you
can sell on them which is really awesome because it creates more opportunity for you to make a sale
and then you can upload to other marketplaces too now which gives you even more opportunity to make
a sale so type in funny monkey shirt okay and then you see all these other designs that pop up
okay if you see all these other designs why are you gonna stand out from everyone else
you have to ask yourself that okay even i even ask myself that when i have a top selling design
in my niche that i know that i'm selling the most for okay what can i else what else can i
create in that niche to stand out from myself and then everyone else okay what how can i create a
the second top selling design or if not beat my first top selling design and then
my top selling design is the second top selling design in that niche
so there's always ways that you can outdo yourself you just have to figure out how
you're gonna do it and what's the best way to do it okay so when you're doing the research or
you're searching for the keywords in your niche you want to figure out like how you can create
an eye-catching design in that niche and stand out from you and stand out from your competition okay
just really have to ask yourself that what what's going to make that person buy or click on my
design from everyone else okay bold font works really well taking up that whole design space
on that product is very important because that's gonna sometimes helps you win the click okay
something funny you know something's all that all that stuff works really nice okay and then the
detail and stuff like that in the design will help you stand out from your competition too as well
okay that can make all the difference in a custom purchasing your product so think about
it to another level don't make any excuses for why you can't do something because obviously you
can do it there's obviously there's services out there that you can use when it comes to this right
next is going to be promoting your product right if you have access to ads okay use it test it
figure out what you can do to drive more traffic to your product and get your product ranking to
that front page what are you gonna do and i have a a whole detailed series about using ads with right
here check that out it's really awesome i showed you know hold your hand show you how to launch
your first ad and how you can optimize it and you know obviously get your product ranking close to
the front page and making more money leveraging that is one way okay and then like outside of that
you can either you know promote it on pinterest facebook create your own facebook fan page
instagram fan page you can promote it on twitter right there's a there's a ton of different ways
that you can do this create a blog and then put your product in there to drive traffic to it all
right there's that's one leg too as well there's so many different ways that you can do this but
figure it out okay even if you have to you know take your products off amazon create your own
website and drive traffic to your own website if you feel more comfortable by doing that
do it there's a lot of ways you can do this okay but as we start to get more and more competition
what are you gonna do you're just gonna rely on the organic traffic on amazon and and just say
all right um i can't do this um i'm not making no sales i don't know what i'm doing wrong
that's it you got to figure out why okay why there's there's a reason why you're not
successful at this or there's a reason why you know you haven't you know started doing this
those are all excuses at the end of the day you just have to figure out what what your goal is
accomplish it follow these steps exactly how i'm like telling you
