what it takes to make a successful listing and actually start making sales i'm gonna break it
all down for you step by step so you can hit the ground running so sit back and enjoy this
content alright guys so welcome to my guide on how to create a successful amazon merch listing from
scratch as someone who has successfully created and sold listings in the past i know what it takes
to make your product stand out from the rest first and foremost you need to make sure that you have a
great design for your product this can be a simple text based design okay that's what i mean by this
it can be a graphic it can be a mixture of text and graphic okay there's really no right way of
having a really good design there's a few different ways that you can have a great design
right so one of the things that you want to understand is knowing what your customers want
when it comes to a design this is by far the most important aspect of any listing as this will be
the first thing that people see when they land on your page and if you're not a good designer
okay obviously one practice at it two you can actually hire someone to help you create designs
which that's the route that i've took in the goal is to give the customers what they want next
is you need to create a very optimized listing okay this is important this what's this is what
drives the traffic to your design so the design and the listing optimization go hand in hand
because you can have a good design no traffic you can have a okay design and a good optimized
listing and you can still make sales you can have a bad design and have a good listing i mean good
optimized listing and still make sales okay or you can have a you know a horrible listing with
no optimization no good keywords in there and a horrible design and not make no sells so what
is amazon merch amazon merch is a print-on-demand platform that started back in 2015. think about it
as you don't need no inventory and you do not need no startup costs to start this business
now what happens is you create a product on amazon merch and then it becomes on live on amazon.com
when the customer makes that purchase of your product on amazon.com okay amazon prints and
ships the product for your customer there are a few different products that you can upload to from
t-shirts to tote bags okay and they keep on adding more and more products every single year now
the more of the challenge here when it comes to this okay it's actually creating the design okay
creating the listing okay and then driving the traffic next okay so a lot of people are
struggling with that part of it because when it comes to driving traffic to your products most
people are relying on the organic traffic yes you can do that but if that's going to take a
little bit more work and research as far as ranking into a new niche okay with no
competition or very little competition because if you plan on going after these really big niches
and there's a ton of competition you have to figure out how you're going to rank closer
to that front page to make sales how to create amazon merch listing as you can see right here
the listing and the keywords are very important to be targeting your correct customer on the platform
this is what drives the traffic to your designs to make sales and i know you see like just think
about that how important is that just repeat that part okay customer doesn't see the design how are
they going to purchase the product okay yes i did that and you would do it too for a chat so the
goal is to create you created this really awesome design okay think about that now the goal is to
actually sell that product okay so you created the design sell the product sell the design
and you know get that organic ranking going so you can make even more sales okay more sales means
more money so when it comes to the brand okay you can either if you're building a brand on amazon
you can put it underneath that brand or you can put a long tail keyword now what is the long tail
keyword i want to say two or three keywords that are together if a customer searches for
funny monkey or funny dabbing monkey okay that's a long tail keyword okay so the longer that
the the longer the long tail keyword is the less competition that you're going to create for
yourself so for example if you're just going for after the monk the word the keyword monkey right
there's going to be a ton of competition because there is a ton of different you know products
out there with monkey on them and you're going to be competing with tens and thousands of products
but if you do funny dabbing monkey right you kind of just were more targeted right with the keyword
the long tail keyword and in return you're going to get those very passionate customers that are
purchasing that product and that's just an example the second step is the title okay i like to put
two long tail keywords in the title okay and this is think about it as 20 people with that long tail
keyword and then the title okay with two long tail keywords each long tail keyword is going
to drive in you know 50 people each so that's a hundred people okay so think about it that way
now bullet point one and bullet point two i like to put two to three long tail keywords related to
the niche now if you cannot think of or you cannot find long tail keywords related to that niche okay
you wanna be a little bit creative here and try to write something about the design and uh make it
you know to where the customer wants to actually purchase the product okay so that's the goal you
want to be you know give more insight about the design and everything that's going on now the
description okay you can copy bullet point one and bullet point two and put them in the description
or you can make this really seo friendly for google okay so think about how the customer would
search for a product on google and you would put some like around two to five sentences together
in the description that's up to you i know a lot of people that leave it blank me personally
i fill out that description part so i can just get more traction get more traffic to the listing
and hopefully make more sales and here's some more tips too as well you want to make sure that
the design is a very high quality design okay you do not want to have the design pixelated
okay or stretched out um that is like two of the things that i would highly recommend do
not do that and one thing to do not copy anyone else's designs because that's how you'll get your
listing reported and get it taken down and potentially getting your account suspended
so you do not want that you want to be creative being creative will create less competition for
you too now with the pricing i've tested this from the base price right now it's at 1307
and then to 19.99 okay let me personally upload straight to 1999. before back in the day i would
just you know put the base price at the back of the day was like 12 and 73 cents or something
like that okay now it's 1307. now you'll make more sales okay if you have it priced really low right
and plus you won't get no realty no profit or nothing like that and then you'll make more sales
you'll you'll get more people more traffic to the listing which is really cool but you're not making
no money now what a lot of people that i see doing is they'll depending you know the top seller or
the you know depending on the the front page okay whatever the price is at you'll see people at 1699
1799 1899 they'll price right in the middle at 17.99 okay just to get that design going and just
to be competitive with the competition and that's something that's up to you that's all on you i'm
not going to tell you how to price your products all right now tips on getting your first product
approved so make sure that your product meets all the amazon merch requirements so you want to go
back and check all that information and learn about the resources all that good stuff in the
back end faqs stuff like that and make sure you learn all that number two is you want to make sure
that you check for all the amazon merch updates because they update a lot of this on the back end
and for example like the word gift at one point we were you we were able to use the word gift
and i've made it several i made several videos on using the word gift and then all of a sudden they
have update that says you cannot use the word gif so you want to be careful because then you'll get
rejections uh on your account and you do not want that so make sure that you're up to date with the
rules before you upload any new designs on the platform number three the next one is anything to
do with cuss words or alcohol like drinking beer drinking wine and putting it on the youth right
the youth product okay so you shirt um that will get you a rejection i've done that a few times i'm
like oh dude i forgot about that so make sure that you're not making the same mistake like me and
make sure you're double checking that number five is don't use brand names in your design
or in your listing which would be example would be coca-cola or disney number six is check for
trademarks and copyrights okay now this can be very difficult from different each marketplace it
gives you the information on the back end to look for trademarks okay in different marketplaces so
that can be a challenge right and i can see that and i can see why people have a challenge
of looking that are doing amazon merch in a different country and uploading to the us
they don't understand trademarks but this is our job as a seller to understand that okay so we need
to do more research and learn about it do not rely on anyone else to check for trademarks for you
you have to do it yourself learn that and then maybe get someone else to help you
check for trademarks as you're uploading designs number seven is do not copy designs this is a
big no-no on the platform this is getting out of a out of hand right it's very it's
going very crazy on the platform right now and it's very hard for amazon merge to control this
because people are abusing this right here do not copy someone else's artwork okay you want to be
creative and make your own this is going to help you make more sales long term okay long term
they'll get they're going to catch you sooner or later when it comes to this
number eight is gonna be do not try to cheat the algorithm okay
amazon knows when you're doing something and they're gonna catch you sooner or later okay
make sure that you're not trying to go around the algorithm it doesn't make any sense to do that
okay they're giving us a platform they're giving us an opportunity to do something
and then you're gonna sit there and try to cheat it like obviously they're gonna be mad
okay if you do that they're gonna get mad at you kick you off the platform and you're gone
