what's up guys thanks for joining me for
a new video today i want to help
those of you that are in need of some
amazon merch sales not that we all don't
need amazon merge sales but
if you're in the low tiers specifically
i would honestly
dedicate all of my upload slots to
inauguration shirts
all right i'm not even gonna bury the
lead i'm not gonna say let's get started
and then show you what the niche is
um you should just be selling
inauguration shirts and
i wouldn't delete by the way i wouldn't
delete any products you have that have
sales so any slots you have of products
that have not sold
just start uploading inauguration shirts
trust me
this is where the demand is right now
and in this video i'm going to show you
how i can create some really nice
designs
for inauguration shirts very easily all
right so i want to demystify this for
you
uh because like the one principle that i
have a tough time
when i see somebody's design like i
don't feel good being like oh i don't
really like the design right so i i'm
not like a fan of putting things down
but i
this is like an indirect way of saying
not that this is the only way of doing
designs but what i'm gonna show you is a
very easy way of creating designs that i
promise
sell all right so let's get started
[Music]
real quick just a reminder i run a
weekly print on demand giveaway
completely free to enter
and this week we're giving away over a
thousand dollars in prizes to two lucky
winners
sponsored by the flying upload print on
demand upload automation automate pod
automate your uh print on demand designs
and all american graphics by the way i'm
going to show you
how we can use all american graphics in
this video to create some really nice
looking designs
all right and in the description just
want to remind you too i have a free
seven-day amazon merch mini course
delivered via email
and an amazon merch facebook group if
you'd like to join
all right so inauguration 2020 um i
don't get political on this channel but
we all know that this is coming it's
rapidly approaching it is currently
january 8th as of me recording this so
you got about 13 days till
this day comes but don't worry sometimes
it's like the holiday passes and then
all those shirts are you got to be
deleted and replace them
with the inauguration guys people are
going to be buying inauguration shirts
like on the day of
and on days afterwards i promise so this
is not one of those
like hard deadline dates although i
would anticipate most of the
sales to probably come probably come on
the day of honestly but
that's that's not normal but um probably
beforehand would be second and then
afterwards would be third if i had to
guess
so let's take a look at some
inauguration shirts so i used my search
merch tool
and i searched for inauguration 2021
which
using the search merch tool it filters
out any
non-amazon merch listings so i built one
version of it merchant former has their
own version essentially we pass in
hidden keywords
and it filters out non-amazon merch
products so that if i'm selling amazon
merch i only want to see the amazon
merch products so that's what i did here
all right so the first one biden harris
presidential inauguration 2021
uh second one inauguration biden 46th
harris washington dc 1 20 21
and they got the presidential seal so
i'm just showing you some variations
because you can get creative there's not
like a one-way approach
to getting this done but let's look at
you know what's out there for some
inspiration
um you've got the democrat logo kicking
out the republican logo with the trump
hair
i love when the trump hair is used in
ways like that like funny ways
um the other one here behind me you got
biden harris forwards
and 120 21 not backwards
that design is not the best design but
hey it's selling it's near the top of
page one so good
good for them uh we got inauguration
washington dc looks like they got joe
biden and kamala harris's signatures
so that is pretty cool that you were
able to find a high enough quality
graphic
of their signatures and then over my
shoulder here
2021 inauguration kamala harris vice
president
a lot of celebration of like kamal
harris being vice president
um so definitely tap that niche as well
um i
in my mind it's like almost like that's
moved to more shirts than the buying
shirts i could be mistaken there but
all right uh and then end of an error
this one's hilarious end of an error
january
20th 2021 so it's
play on words of end of an era you know
regardless of like which side you go to
lean left right i lean up down so it
doesn't you know to me it's like it's
just a funny shirt end of an error
and it's not even like anti-trump
because as soon as you know this um
as soon as biden's out or you know
whoever replaces him you can still sell
the end of an error shirts like it's
going to apply to whoever anytime
there's a transition to power
and then the one behind me democracy
restored i'm not a fan of that design
either but it's selling pretty well
so i mean there could be opportunities
here when you see a design selling well
that's
not that great and this is just my
personal opinion by the way i mean
sales speak for themselves and if it's
selling hey props to them
because that's the end goal right it
makes them make some money
all right so i said i'm going to show
you how i would go about creating
a design that sells and honestly the way
that i think i mean i'm in tier 100
000 so but i think in terms of like
design templates
so if i make one good design i want to
be able to like make multiple
um designs from it you know one good
template and make multiple designs
that's often as simple as just changing
the text you know we just looked at a
bunch of different shirts
and got some ideas for different text to
include
on the shirt and all we then need to
really solve and you don't have to have
a graphic on your shirts by the way you
can do text only shirts they do sell
but if you do that i like to get
creative sometimes maybe like not offer
the shirt in black maybe offer it only
in blue or only in red so it stands out
a little bit in search results but
separate story um i'm going to use all
american graphics
from the makers of all sunsets to get a
professional quality pre-made graphic
done for me so i don't have to slow down
and make it myself sometimes it's fun to
you know spend an hour and learn
something new in photoshop or whatever
you use to design
but i'm typically like i'm spread pretty
thin as far as my time goes
so i'm like hey if i can pay you guys to
get me a nice graphic that i need done
for me
i'll take that all day so real quick
just wanted to remind you
all american graphics is the site that
i'm looking at they just let me know
that they're running a sale i don't
remember how long they said it was going
for but
instead of paying 27 for the year which
is still really cheap it's like two
dollars and change per month
they are currently running a discount
it's like 20 and 21 cents
and you get a membership for a year from
the time you join so all of 2021 into
2022.
that's 25 off i did the math you can
trust me
i was like i did actually do the math
even though it was 25 should have been
pretty easy for me to do
um but it's friday so my brain's not
working 100
all right so i ended up going with this
graphic right here the
they call it the round patriotic grunge
it's got the
blue uh circle with the stars and then
it's got the red stripes
in the middle so i used that as the
design
of choice pulled it into photoshop and
then i did some round
text and i did biden harris up top
and inauguration down bottom and i
didn't actually go looking at other
shirts to see if somebody had done this
before i just kept it super simple like
those were the first words that popped
into my mind
there's plenty of ways you can get
creative like i didn't put the date
anywhere so maybe i make a variation of
this shirt and i put the date in the
middle 1 21
21 or 1 20 21 lots of ways to get
creative here you know
lots of ways i mean my brain is already
coming up with other ways i can make
various versions of this design but i
just wanted to show you that like this
can be done
very simply right graphic text above
text below or just
graphic text above or just graphic text
on the middle
it doesn't have to be complicated notice
too when i use text it's like big it's
bold
i know someone's going to hit me up in
the comments be like what font is that
the font is called
uh edmond texture as i blank on it it's
called edmund
texture i can put a link in the
description too to where you can buy it
for like a dollar i think
from creativefabrica so i'll put a link
in the description
and just so you guys know because i know
another person's about to ask me how do
you do the curved text well i already
have a tutorial on how to do that
i'll put a link to that youtube video
right here in the youtube cards so it's
going to pop up above my head you can
click that
and watch that video and it'll show you
how to do the curved text
alright so i got my design i exported it
from photoshop uploaded it to amazon
merch
and look at that i mean i'm just saying
like i like how that looks you know i
can't say i can't take credit for the
graphic because
i just used all american graphics for
the pre-made one but i like the way the
curved text looks and notice
too i made it big and bold and i'm a fan
of the distressed fonts i mean
i don't feel like you always have to use
distressed fonts but i am a fan of how
it looks on t-shirts
and what i always say i'm just going to
reiterate it real quick like
when your shirt is selling on amazon the
biggest
thing is you need to get clicked in
search results which is tough because if
you've ever done a keyword search on
amazon
it's your product and then it's like 47
other products on page one
so 48 products on page one if you're in
the the mix
you still need to get clicked and then
when you get click you need to get the
sale but if you can get clicked the
likelihood of you getting the sale is
pretty high because you have a monopoly
on their attention at that point
in order to get clicked guys remember
this they have to be able to read the
text
in your design from the thumbnail so
if you can't read the text if they can't
read the text it's going to be tough
you know so i use big bold text even if
it doesn't look the best
in the end result product i don't care i
still need to get the sale before it
even gets printed
and then they can make their mind up of
whether or not they actually like how it
turned out so big
and bold trust me on that one i'm just
showing you the rest of the products
here
i should have redone that screenshot
because i did end up actually uploading
a hoodie
but you can see it looks good on the
long sleeve the raglan the sweatshirt
by the way i used merch resize to resize
for pop socket hoodie cell phone case
tote bag pillows
so there you can see got the zip hoodie
design looks good on that got the pop
socket
crushing it the um iphone and samsung
galaxy case by the way when you render
those you should render two different
variations because of how the camera is
situated
which merge resize merch resize is a
completely free tool so
check that out i'll put a link in the
description too and then you got the
tote bag and the throw pillow so how
easy was that i know i make it look easy
on this video because i didn't actually
do the design in real time
but the design is as simple as import
the graphic
and then watch the curved text tutorial
which once you've done that a couple
times
it's second nature so this actually is
very quick and easy to do
and then i just had to do to give a
shout out to my tool me and a friend
built this it's a chrome extension it's
called automate pod this is not useful
to you if you're in the low
tiers of amazon merch now it's useful if
you're on redbubble and you're trying to
hit 50 uploads a day
but you'll get the most value if you
wait till you're like in tier 500 plus
you can use automate pod to insert
automatically
variable text in your designs so you can
see here
i have var1 var2 as like two variables
and you can create a spreadsheet and
just put your text in and it'll just key
off the spreadsheet
and you can set it by the way you can
set up automate pod in like
three minutes i think the tutorial to
set it up is three minutes long so
you know it's pretty darn easy we made
that easy intentionally
and so i put some ideas for text on the
left hand side there biden hairs 20 21
end of an error forwards not backwards
washington dc
first female vp democracy restored
january 20th 2021 biden 46 making
history i mean the list goes on
there's so many ways to approach this
and again if you're in tier 10 and
you're only focused on amazon merch
don't worry about this but i just want
you to know this is possible
and when you need more designs you can
take this approach
and make a ton of designs you know it's
really limitless um this is how i got to
98 000 upload slots full in i think it
was like four months
so i'll put a link in the description as
well but that's it for this video guys
i really think that if you guys are
struggling on sales target the
inauguration trust me
this is what people are going to be
talking about thinking about they're
going to be excited they're going to be
wearing the shirts
and um you know make some shirts for the
for the trump crowd too why not you know
make it
put a put a negative spin on the
inauguration and you know if that if
that niche is not as tapped
or it's untapped um you know there's
still a lot of demand if you looked at
how many votes trump got there's still a
lot of demand for those shirts
so do that as well but anyways just want
to remind you guys really quickly
i have a full amazon merch course full
knowledge transfer
from me to you how i got from tier 10 to
tier 100 000 if you want to check that
out
link in the description as usual you
