guys are you feeling inspired after
watching that video
it is kind of exciting though i mean
those of us that have been doing this
for a while um
you know it seems like it's just
becoming more and more of an official
thing
like
for me
going back to my start with merch by
amazon
you know i told you guys like they would
do things like running out of uh
inventory
um
when you know it would be the fourth
quarter when when you had the the
christmas sales rush
uh they would
they would basically like freeze letting
new sellers in in the fourth quarter
which i still think they may kind of do
just probably due to like the burden on
their web servers um they would like
freeze us sometimes from uploading new
products or maybe drastically limit our
daily uploads during the fourth quarter
and it's like now what do we see
compared to the future we see
that we can um that we upload to the us
market and then behind the scenes
they're pushing our products to the
international markets right they're
expanding for us
and that's for sure causing you know a
massive burden on their web servers
something that used to be an issue now
it's not an issue at all it's something
that they're doing behind the scenes for
us using automated processes because
they want this program this merch on
demand program to be a global success
they've obviously also invested in the
infrastructure
around the world they've got the
printers they've got the employees
they need us to go and
you know either create demand or serve
the existing demand on these
international amazon marketplaces so it
is really cool
so it says earn royalties we pay you a
royalty on every product sold no
inventory risk don't worry about unsold
stock we'll print your product after
each sale using world-class print
technology prime shipping all of our

track your success use our analysis
tools for insights on your best-selling

mean
we know that the analyze tab not exactly
the most insightful they could probably
just call the developers of
uh pretty merch and you know see if
they're interested in jumping on the
merch team and building out like a truly
insightful dashboard that's something
that they should definitely make happen
um we see here amazon merch on demand
content creators include everyone from
independent designers like us
to big brands uh disney marvel cartoon
network fortnite adult swim overwatch dr
seuss
universal uh so yeah i mean a lot of the
universal studios we know we've seen
some movies dropping their merch on
merch by amazon to coincide with the
release of the movies so that's pretty
cool
uh and then they've got you know
frequently asked questions do you need
to comply with the content policy yes
how a royalty is calculated they link
you to the royalty calculation page can
i order a sample before i publish a
product um they're saying you have the
option of making something before it's
public available via direct link so it's
kind of like ordering a sample you're
buying your own product but here's the
thing they're saying right here
that you can make your product
um well you can either make it publicly
available or do the link only which is
like a private way of um publishing
where it won't be indexed in amazon's
catalog what they're basically saying
though is like if you order your own
sample that's going to count towards
your sales
and get you closer to a tear up so i
think if you're worried about buying
your own products you shouldn't be that
seems pretty safe
how should you prepare your t-shirt
artwork to be uploaded
give you some insights there i want to
upload a product designed to amazon
merch on demand can i submit the same
design to another website or
manufacturer yes it is non-exclusive
what shipping options your customers get
they get the prime shipping uh if they
spend more than 25 they get free
shipping i've signed up for amazon merch
on demand account what happens next once
you've submitted your request we will
provide you with an expected time frame
for a decision and we will notify you of
the decision via email as soon as it has
been made
and then of course there's a lot more
frequently asked questions i did do a
video while i was on vacation i
pre-recorded one and went through like a
45 minute video going through all the
frequently asked questions so make sure
you check that one out that was a doozy
to make there's a lot of reading and of
course i like to give my commentary as i
go um anyways guys that's basically it
so what's new with amazon merch on
demand well we got a new video here
on the amazon fashion uh with less than
eight thousand subscribers youtube
channel uh beyond that i mean i don't
think anything really changed other than
a if you're trying to maybe get indexed
on these keywords uh in the past
everybody was calling it merch by amazon
or amazon merch and you can be early to
the um to the rush if you will by going
and putting some youtube videos out with
amazon merch on demand in the title wink
wink and maybe a blog post or whatever
else you've got going on guys um but
anyways let me know your thoughts in the
comments below is this like a preview do
they have some more going on behind the
scenes that we should be worried about
or excited about
or is this just kind of par for the
course somebody decided hey let's change
the name and keep things going as usual
minus the new name so anyways guys
