going on guys in this video i will show
you how to start a t-shirt business
using amazon merch this is a really cool
way to start a t-shirt business because
you guys won't need to buy any equipment
you will just do some work up front and
then sit back and collect royalties from
each sale and make passive income let me
show you guys how this works all right
guys so the first thing you're going to
do is go on amazon.com you're going to
scroll all the way down to where it says
make money with us you're going to click
on see more right here it will show you
all the different ways you can make
money on amazon so for example this
right here is fba you can make money by
being an affiliate by the way guys i
have videos on all of this so you guys
can check that out if you want you could
be an amazon influencer you could drive
for amazon or you can start your own
amazon trucking business you can make
apps on amazon you can publish ebooks or
publish your own movies you can stream
gaming on twitch the one we're looking
for is merged by amazon so we're gonna
click get started and the next step is
for you guys to sign up for a free
account the only thing you guys will
need is a bank account and your social
security info if you're international
you can also sign up for this so let's
talk about the way that amazon merch
works it's very simple you guys will
make your own custom t-shirt designs
you're going to upload your designs to
amazon you're going to set a price
whenever you get a sale amazon is going
to print the t-shirt with their own dtg
printers they're going to ship it to the
customer and you get a royalty in
exchange so what you guys are going to
do is go on to websites such as buy
t-shirt designs.com and have somebody
either make your own custom artwork or
buy the artwork that they have for sale
so for this video we're going to use
cryptocurrency t-shirts as an example so
the first thing you guys will do is
check amazon to make sure this t-shirt
design is not already on there if it's
not you guys will simply buy this design
and upload it you guys can also easily
buy different bundles you just have to
make sure that nobody else on amazon has
the designs because if they do amazon is
going to take your listing down so you
don't want that as soon as you pay for
the design you're going to be able to
download the png files these are the
files that you're going to upload to
amazon so amazon has a tier system which
means when you first open up your
account you're going to be tier 1 so you
will only be able to upload 10 designs
so if you want to grow a large merged
business you will have to move up tiers
so if you're in tier 1 you will have to
sell 10 t-shirts to move to tier 2. when
you're in tier 2 to move up to tier 3
you will have to sell 25 t-shirts and so
on and so on your goal is to have as
many t-shirts on amazon as possible the
more shirts you have the higher chance
you have of making money now the first
thing you guys will have to do after
uploading each design is rank the design
what you will do is have a couple of
your friends purchase the t-shirt and
leave you positive feedback when they
purchase the shirts you have to tell
them to type in the specific keywords
that you're trying to rank for so for
example if we have a bitcoin t-shirt the
keywords we're going to try to rank for
our crypto shirt bitcoin shirt ethereum
shirt etc
so they have to type that into the
amazon search scroll down to the last
pages to find your item and buy like
that make sure you never send them the
link through text message the biggest
mistake people make when starting a
merged by amazon business is making a
bunch of designs and not taking the time
to rank them whenever you upload a
t-shirt design to amazon your goal
should always be to bring that design to
the first page now when you guys first
start i suggest lowering the price at
the point where you actually break even
and don't make any money then when the
shirt ranks you can increase the price
also it's better to keep the price low
and make a dollar or two off a t-shirt
than having a high price not getting
sales and de-ranking remember guys it's
always better to make a small margin but
have a ton of sales
let's talk about some of the pros and
cons of this business the pros are
there's pretty much no startup cost you
don't have to do any kind of work as far
as making your own t-shirts everything
is done by amazon and the most important
part is you don't have to pay for
traffic when you rank your item on
amazon all the traffic is organic
whereas if you have a shopify store you
have to run ads which can be a big
headache the only con is that the
royalties are small but if you take your
time and make a lot of t-shirts you can
easily have a successful business the
key is to make designs that people
actually like and purchase and to take
your time ranking the products correctly
also make sure you have positive reviews
and one more very important thing amazon
is very strict with copyrights so make
sure you guys avoid copyrights at all
costs alright i hope you guys enjoyed
