i've been getting a lot of questions on social media about if you can make designs for the
ukraine right now and i'm going to teach you how to research and why you can't do it right now
all right so first and foremost when you're unsure of something right um
what i recommend you always do a google search so if we do the do a google search for you know the
word ukraine you're gonna see that obviously there is war going on over there okay and now
if you dig in a little deeper you're gonna see that there's people getting hurt
okay doing a simple google search okay with whatever topic that you're like whatever whatever
you're doing okay if you're unsure and you're trying to figure out okay why is it making sales
or why are people creating stuff like this or why they're doing this on any platform i recommend
that you go and do a google search a simple google search you know you need to figure
that out okay so by you doing a google search it's showing you what's going on okay but the thing is
when it comes to this type of stuff you have to be very careful because if you're playing
in you know on any of these platforms and they have rules you want to make sure you understand
them before you just jump into something and like oh yeah cool that's making sales i'm very tempted
because it's making so much sales that i'm going to jump in this and and do what the other person
that's doing and they shouldn't be doing that type of stuff but i'm going to do it anyways
because it's making so much money right it's not that's not right when it comes to this and i'm
making a point right there because i want you guys to understand when you're doing this type of stuff
you want to research it and make sure that you're doing the right thing when it comes to any of
this stuff especially when you're selling on different platforms all right now if you log into
your merch by amazon account and come over to you know resources right up here resources and then
come down to content policy click on content policy and then when you go down right here
um the number two part right here you're gonna come down and it says content related to human
tragedies and natural disasters okay that right there is gonna fall under that right
and right now at the beginning you know there's a lot of people kind of just getting through and
and making sales and stuff like that but that falls underneath that content policy on merch
by amazon so you have to be careful okay um you can do whatever you want by all means
but me personally like this is something that i've like you know i stay away from
um just because it's making sales and making money yes like like i you get the urge to like you know
create a design and make sales right and it it that's okay but when it comes to people getting
hurt and stuff like that that's not okay so you have to make sure that you understand the rules
and like i said you can just you can do whatever you want when it comes to this but
following the rules and the guidelines is one of the most important things when you
you know you have an awesome opportunity like merch by amazon to come on the platform
and and you there's so many different ways that you can make sales okay there's so many different
issues that you can go after okay um and you do not have to do because just because the bsr
is at one thousand two thousand three thousand four thousand you wanna jump on it because it's
trending right it's making sales yes but that doesn't mean that it's okay to do it
okay it it may be there may become amazon you know there's gonna be a wave of accounts getting bad
and suspended pretty soon because of the policy right here and amazon is probably making lots of
money right now and they're not catching it but when they do catch it there's going to be a lot
of accounts getting back so be very very careful i had a few people reach out to me i was like
they're like i did a little that deleted the design am i gonna get my account suspended still
i'm like dude i don't even know that's that's that's i don't that's not my rule to put in to
place for that to see you know just because you made one sale you're gonna get your account back
i i don't know okay but when it comes to stuff like they just want to be very careful
so that's the policy right there i will go over here and check that out right there
now there's designs that have been been up like before any of this stuff has happened
right um and that's it's like a it's more of a it's more of a timing thing right people like
the platform see people trying to take advantage of the situation that's going on in the world and
they're uploading tons of designs right now based off of you know the ukraine and they see them
trying to take advantage of it and amazon really doesn't like that because we've seen this over and
over and over again if you've been doing them for amazon for many years like i have you're gonna see
you know designs that have been up for for example like this one this one's been up since uh 2019
okay and if you scroll up you're gonna see like you know it has a consistent sales right here and
it's been selling and it's been up okay now if and it's a bestseller right now but the thing is it's
it's been up before anything like you know anything that's tragic that's happened in the
world and it's been up it's more of you know the part of the country and you know making design and
people love to wear that type of design right so it's at the end of the day like i said it's
all up to you and how you want to do this but when there's a tragic event going on and you're
uploading you can probably most likely get in trouble because amazon will see it and i'm just
saying from experience right by the way amazon can see it and they see that what you're trying to do
like this guy never uploaded a ukraine design before but all of a sudden something's going
on in the world they want upload designs now right and they'll take you know amazon's gonna
start taking down designs so it's it's a timing type of thing in a way i feel like as i start to
understand the platform and understand what's going on um with everything um me personally like
i said i'm not doing this type of stuff repeat that again um but it's something that you have to
understand and you have to be very aware of when you're trying to grow your merch by amazon account
and take it to that next level right um just like i said this design's been up for since 2019
and you know they probably feel okay just keeping it up because you know they were not trying to
obviously take advantage of what's going on right now and make sales and make money so yeah you know
what i mean it's that's what it is all right came over here to merchant former right um i'll show
you this cool little feature um if you're unaware of it uh merch hunter come over click merge render
type in the keyword ukraine um and then hit search and it's going to show us the live products right
okay and then if you come over here to not so much boom right let me search that let's see if it pops
up let it search to the search okay it did so not so much and then i just hit search down here
okay it's going to show you designs that you know you know they have really good
awesome they have awesome vsrs right and and look at them you know they're doing good but
these are the ones that are being taken down okay on on amazon okay these are merged by amazon
products but they're starting to get taken down as you can see which is crazy
because you know even though you know people are just uploading like crazy over here
amazon is starting to take them down or even people are starting just to
take them down because they see what's going on and they're just
taking them out okay um because you know they don't want people to break the rules so that's
a cool little feature right there that can help you you know if you're unaware of something right
and you have no idea if you can create a design like that that right there like i just showed
you is one cool way to do it and then following all the steps that i shared with you in this
video can help you too as well my goal by me showing you this video is to make sure that
you follow the rules and if you have a question to learn how to research it yourself okay that's
the only reason i made this video yeah if you have any questions feel free to let me know know down
below and check out this next video right here if you want to learn more about merged amazon
