millions of people are making a killing selling on merch by amazon but for some reason
you are not i'm going to show you why you should be selling on merch by amazon and how to get
started why are you not selling on merch by amazon so what is merch by amazon basically what it is
is you choose a product type choose a color and then you add really good keywords to your listing
and drive traffic to your design or you saw you create a design for your product amazon gives you
the ability to choose different types of colors and then you add really awesome keywords into the
description and then when the customer on amazon goes over purchases the product when that product
is purchased amazon prints and ships it to the customer for you and you don't deal with none of
that stuff you don't deal with the returns you do get dinged for the royalty at one point when you
know back in the day you never got dinged for the return um but now they're deducting the royalty
if the customer returns the product you have to do the research keyword listing making unique
and original design that sells after all that you collect the royalty when that product sells
okay and it sounds easy but what i said right there is the research keywords and creating the
design is one of the most important it is the most important part when it comes to creating products
you know on merch by amazon and when they go live on amazon selling on amazon just in general how
to get started go to merch.amazon.com sign in when it comes to any of this one of the most
important steps right here is make sure you fill out everything okay do not leave nothing blank at
all okay this is so so so important they want to see that you have a portfolio of designs from my
understanding and testing over the years there's that little website optional okay it says website
it says optional if you see it it's like right here you know you want to make sure you fill
everything here okay but they want to see that you have a portfolio and you're taking this seriously
okay they don't want to see that you're coming onto the platform to copy other people's designs
rip them and put them up they don't want that they want you to be original unique and different from
everyone else okay that's so so important so make sure when you're doing filling out this
information make sure that you do not leave nothing blank okay says it right here do not
leave blank spaces okay so make sure that you're not doing that how does it work when you log in
okay you're gonna get this this is what your login looks like when you log in in the beginning after
getting access to your account you'll have the option to upload 10 designs once you have
made 10 sales you'll get teared up in that way you'll have the right to upload more designs per
day increase the total number of sales on amazon hopefully right so merged by amazon levels i'm
personally at tier 200k i made this just kind of give you an idea so it goes tier one you know
a hundred twenty five a hundred five hundred one thousand two thousand four thousand eight thousand
then it goes ten thousand twelve thousand and then and then they've been mixing it up
here and there okay like i said me and myself i'm not personally two two hundred k tier um
i was there's a hundred k tier and then i got bumped up to two hundred k tier
um i know that i think i believe there is a 300k tier i get a lot of questions is how do you make
your first sales to get out of that lower the lower tiers okay that's this is one of the most
important things when you get your account you want to get out of the damn lower tiers because
you do not want to be hanging out on tier one tier two tier three you want to get up where you have
more wiggle room to put more designs and test the platform to see how it works okay you do not want
to be down there just dreading it and then totally hoping you get cells if you have to buy your way
out of it do it or you know if you have any friends or anything like that reach out to them
and have them you know make a purchase of one of your shirts okay don't be afraid to
ask create a design for them hey i got this cool design i'm going to create it for you
or i have this cool design do you want to purchase it or or ask them hey i can create a cool design
for you um i'm you know i'm starting to sell on amazon i'm starting to sell t-shirts on amazon
and i want to know if you um want a design i can create it for you you just have to
make the purchase okay don't tell them to leave a review okay that's one of the things too as well
um you don't want to be getting caught up in any of that stuff you don't want no one close
to you leaving any type of reviews nothing like that okay how to upload your designs the process
to upload design is relatively easy okay after i upload your design you have the option to choose
what type of product you want to sell you can see on the mock-up how your design looks on
each product prior to publishing on my personal account the standard t-shirt right here okay when
this program was available i was approved like six months after i applied three months after it
started and then i got approved like in june april area around that time but like 92 percent of my
products sold is the standard t-shirt everyone's accounts differently but different of course but
me personally that's like the number one product that i sell and sells every single day right that
that product what i like to do is when i have a top seller i will start to put them on other
products but recently i started uploading to all products and getting my designs on all products
and i'm seeing you know sales from just random products like you know v-necks um pop sockets
tote bags stuff like that it's all up to you it's really cool that you have this opportunity
to design for all these different products so it's all about a test at the end of the day one
of the things too they have like the resources on the back end when you sign in and go to the
resources it will tell you all this information about how they want the design you can see when
they up when you're uploading it it kind of gives you the art should be you know the png
format and it gives you all this information here i would definitely recommend you go back
there and see the best practices stuff like that and what they're recommending okay all art files
must meet the specifications for a successful upload into much by amazon platform 300 dpi srg
transparent background the file size size does not exceed 25 megabytes do the process on your own so
you get an understanding of how it all works or are you going to do it a few times you know 10
times 20 times 30 times until you get the idea how it works how much money can be made with merch by
amazon after you create a t-shirt design upload to amazon you can earn a percentage of each t-shirt
sell every single cell is going to be different if this fluctuates okay depending on what they charge
you right your royalty is based on your product purchase price less than any acceptable tax and
unless amazon's cost amazon's costs include materials production fulfillment customer service
returns exchanges resources required to detect and prevent fraud so if your shirt is priced at
15.99 your royalty will be 2.36 if you price it at 17.99 your royalty will be 3.87 so this fluctuates
guys okay after watching this video let's say you're watching it from a year from now this
may change okay so 15.99 and your relatives 236 it may be you know two dollars depending on you know
the cost and all that stuff and everything that they're doing for us we're not taking care of none
of that so we're just collecting the royalty and if you don't like that model then you're
going to have to go somewhere else and do your own thing because that's just the way it is but
it's really awesome to get this amount of traffic to your product and make a lot of sales you know
some shirts have made me 100 200 300 in a day okay and just that one shirt design because it
just crushes okay i have a few shirts on my on my personal account that made over twenty thousand
dollars and that's amazing right so it's you can see the power in this it helped me you know
be a full-time you know print on demand uh seller and stuff like that just to help other people too
so this is why you know what this is one of the reasons why i create content remember this i do
the same thing as you guys okay um but i do i i test a lot and i like to share with people
um because you know at one point where i didn't know nothing at one point um i
still help people to this day to understand the whole process and the understanding of you know
finding top selling you know products or selling top selling designs and researching
and understanding what's going on it's one of the most important things okay so researching keywords
researching a niche okay coming up with a design idea outsourcing because a lot of moving parts
you've seen that everything that we're going over there's a lot of moving parts so if you're good at
something i recommend you stay good at it and then you know figure out a way to you know outsource
and get help to help you you know achieve what you want to do with this business merchandise
made it possible for many people to earn a passive income by selling t-shirts you can be one of them
but you'll need to put in significant work to get there if this is going to take a lot of work it's
not no like oh yeah i could do this and i could do that and get a cell and do this it takes a lot
of work it's not easy but i recommend you take it step by step and understand the whole process and
then once you understand the whole process then you can start you know as far as doubling down
and trying to you know scale it i recommend then you can do that type of stuff but understanding
everything that you're doing putting up 10 designs putting up 25 putting up 30 designs
that is one of the most important parts to this and understand what your customers want in your
niches avoid these mistakes do not copy designs when it comes to this right here do the research
check what the competition is doing use their designs for inspiration to create something unique
and original okay to get an idea of what's selling and that's the main point of looking at certain
types of designs to create something of your own this is why i create a lot of custom illustrations
because me personally when you have more you know things that you can do inside of a niche and like
creating custom illustrations or just being like one of the first text based designs in a niche
okay that kind of it's sometimes it's hard to go into a nation you're like oh
if i'm the first text base to design with the same i can you know obviously you can be the
top seller yes you can do that but then what happens if you have custom illustrations and
i've done this at the very beginning this right here it creates me more wiggle room to be creative
in the niche right and create something original and unique and different from everyone else and
if you do that okay and it does take a little bit more work a little bit more brain power
it you will make more money that's just the way it is next do not post outdated designs
always check for like what's trending and what's going on at this time and point
you know that the retro and the rainbow and stuff like that that's some of the top selling
stuff right now that's going on anything with cultures stuff like that they're crushing it
right now okay graduation certain times of the year training designs christmas just try to stay
up on the trends as long as possible you know they they last sometimes they last like five
years right a trend lasts for like five years three years four years some of them even last
for like three months then it's gone okay i've seen it happen here and there and that's all
another victory you know what it's just gone do not make low quality designs the quality of the
design is the most important thing i understand the design okay you want that that design to be
nice and big on the product so it can stand out on the thumbnail so important especially with the
print when it when it gets printed on the shirt you don't want it to be like a real low quality
because it'll look ugly on the t-shirt or whatever product that's being printed on okay it can mess
it up and next you know you get a lot of returns for that product and then you get bad reviews
and it's just it's not good right what are the right strategies to be successful on
merchant amazon is important you have a strategy to follow a system in place okay
that's with anything that i do personally and i recommend you do this with everything that you
do personally too anything that you follow and you understand you're you're learning about it
learn everything you know it may take a month for you to learn everything that's okay
but always try to break it down in step one step two step three step four step five you do it that
way it's gonna be easier and you're gonna make money okay because the reason being is just like
you just follow the steps and it takes all the like all the thought process of what do you have
to do next away if you just follow the steps boom you're done follow the next step boom you're done
boom you're done boom boom boom now put that in and and process that scale then you can hire a
person to do that hire a person do that hire a person to hire you know what i mean it's like
you're running a business so treat it that way do niche research what i recommend okay i enjoy
using merchant farmer i enjoy using helium 10 you can use the amazon search bar too that's free but
as your business starts to grow use merchant former merchant farmer i'm going to have my
link affiliate link down below in the description and i have my helium 10 link down below in the
description use these tools to your advantage they help you with research they help you with
ideas and especially with merchant form there's a ton of stuff that can be back there that can
be done okay from um designing researching different niches in different ways right
it's freaking freaking powerful how you can use that and then there's like listing tools that
you can do use back there too as well now when it comes to keyword research right merchant former
does that too helium 10 is a powerhouse when it comes to that there's a tool called celibro
if like i said if you check it out down below in the description that can help you with
understanding what customers are searching for in the niches okay this right here is amazing okay
that can help you come up with new niche ideas and and all kinds all kinds of sorts of stuff right
i know people that make over ten thousand dollars a month and they just use the merchant
former designer back there okay they're not using canva they're not using uh photoshop they're not
using illustrator they're not using [ __ ] they're using strictly merchant former to create designs
and they're making over ten thousand dollars a month just by doing that but it takes work okay
it's not just like oh yeah i can just use the merchant farmer and yes you can but it takes
work i understand it takes work and research and all that stuff okay anything's possible with this
business if it's done correctly and i just want you to know that next is make different designs
so think a little bit differently when it comes to any of this stuff you were trying to figure out
what you can create to be different from everyone else if you go in there and create the same design
that everyone else is creating so there's a hundred of that design you're gonna be 101
so what's going to be different from the the first three or four pages that everyone's seen two years
right so you need to be creative when it comes to this like i said text based we know text based
with graphic text based just with this just text based design custom illustrations all that stuff
works okay uh cross niching okay taking you know just like christmas and monkeys and putting them
together and then you have a monkey wearing a hat okay simple stuff like that's cute right if you
think of stuff like that okay you can literally by you doing that you're just standing out and
creating less competition for yourself and then if you want to go to a next level you have to be
just a little bit more detailed with it making sure you know you know it looks good on that
product um thinking about who you're targeting with that product right because you switch up
a different color of the design index you know you're targeting a girl a woman or a girl or if
you switch it to another color you're targeting a man or a boy so just think of ideas like that
okay do not try go out there and copy this you see a lot of people on the platform that are
copying um no well yeah you'll see people doing that okay and that's just normal but it sucks
because just that's just the way it is and that's the way the people try to play the game
um but they're gonna get their account banned and stuff like that so don't do that just figure out
ways you can create designs and and and niches and uh just try to stand out okay so even if you just
pick three inches think about this way pick three niches and and create ten designs that no one has
okay create 10 unique designs in in those three niches that's 30 designs okay and rinse and repeat
that okay and that may take you a month may take you two months but you know the goal is to build
up the portfolio to where you have consistent sales in those niches every single month one
niche can make you ten thousand dollars a year one niche can make you thirty thousand forty thousand
fifty thousand it doesn't matter just think about the process understand it and just try to make it
work for you all right guys and with that being said i thank you very much for watching my content
