what's up everybody Carter Maxwell here
and in this video I'll be going over how
you can quickly make you first $1,000
selling it t-shirts on merch by Amazon
so before I show you a few merch by
Amazon t-shirt designs that are live and
for sale on Amazon as well as the whole
process from listing to you know doing
research on t-shirt designs getting your
t-shirt design source I want to go over
what exactly merch by Amazon is and how
you use it you know so print on demand
t-shirts so right here on the website
you can see it's a pretty simple process
so basically Amazon has this platform
that allows you to you know upload your
own artwork onto a t-shirt you know
select colors based off like your design
and what its gonna look best with you
know make a title bullet points in a
description for your product that's
gonna you know explain the benefits you
know or the features of that design what
exactly it means hopefully you can sell
that viewer on your listing for your
t-shirt it's actually purchasing the
product and the great thing is is once
your product is live on Amazon and for
sale whenever someone purchases the
product amazon is gonna fulfill the
whole order for you so what I mean by
that is when you sell a t-shirt with
your design on it Amazon is not going to
take that customers information and
whatever that design was they're gonna
print it on the t-shirt based off the
color that the customer selected they're
then gonna ship it to the customer for
you you know leaving all the hassle of
happening you know store inventory ins
like that Amazon fulfils all that for
you
now as the t-shirt is sold you're
receiving a commission of the sale
depending on what you're pricing your
t-shirt now I think if your price your
t-shirt for around 1999 you receive
anywhere from a six to eight dollar
Commission I'm depending on if they've
changed the feast lately because I
haven't sold on in the past year or so
but anywhere from six to eight dollar
Commission which is gonna be basically
your profit if you sell it for around
1999 so merch by Amazon is a great way
for you to build a passive income on the
side so these are examples of what you
know merch by Amazon t-shirts are oops
can't type
got a cute dog t-shirt and I'll show you
what exactly a merch by Amazon t-shirt
looks like they're pretty easy to spot
you know they're Mercer Amazon t-shirts
and they have this little white tag
right here so this is a March by Amazon
t-shirt this one is you keep scrolling
so you find some more right here right
here that looks like I don't see the tag
though here's another one right here and
so you know 1997 I mean 1999 $21.99 so I
mean they're making anywhere from
probably six to you know ten dollars in
commissions depending on what they're
selling these t-shirts for and I mean
it's a pretty simple process you just
need to go through and you know do you
do your product research and try to find
designs you know are trendy and selling
and so within this next part I'm going
to show you step by step you know from
you know signing up for your merch by
Amazon account you know how to outsource
designs cheaply or someone else is
creating in making that design for you
and you just pay them a fee as well as
listing the t-shirts to them and going
through and consistently running the
process so let's get into this step by
step process now starting with step one
you have to enroll in the merch by
Amazon platform because they have to
accept you what I mean by that is you
have to request an invitation basically
send an invitation if you know who you
are you know any experience that you
have they're basically just gonna ask
you a few different questions and when
it comes down to like you don't only
need to have a website me obviously it
helps but when it comes to you know the
description just try to put something in
there that explains you know you've
already sold t-shirts in the past maybe
you know maybe not in an online store
whether it be locally or you already
have designs ready to go just let them
know that you know you're more
experienced than the average person that
you know you're ready to join the
program you know you already have yet
designs ready to sell and they're really
good selling designs high quality
designs you just want to have the
opportunity to be able to sell in the
program and hopefully they can accept
you soon I mean I've seen invitation
times take anywhere from a few weeks to
a few months for that person to get
accepted so the best thing that you can
do now is to go to merch by Amazon
request an invitation sign up and wait
that's really all you can do but while
you're waiting I mean is tons of
different things
do you know like getting two signs ready
you know doing more research online to
see what works what doesn't work so
that's gonna be the first step so the
second step in building your merch by
Amazon business is to find hot selling
t-shirt designs that aren't too
competitive and what I mean by that is
you want to find a niche where there are
people that already have designs you
know already had t-shirts listed around
that niche that are already making
pretty good sales and it's not too
competitive cute dog is probably going
to be too competitive so maybe if you
wanted to go to you know a cute pug
t-shirt I mean it's gonna take 10,000
results - 890 and you can see there's a
couple designs that are somewhat similar
you know there's the pug dabbing you can
see there's a few different designs for
that and you know just scroll through
and now you can click on the shirt and
what you'll do is you'll just scroll
down and you can see you know the sales
wedding so that t-shirts never sold
before because it doesn't have a sales
rank and the sales rank is there for
when things have actually sold so if you
know and you go to t-shirt like this you
know the Pug diving t-shirt for 1695 you
can see has a sales rank of 34,000 that
is a really really good sales rank
there's a reason for that I mean it has
33 reviews reviews definitely help on
t-shirts because it's just just social
proof and people were a lot more willing
to purchase from a t-shirt like that
here's one right here for $19.99 same
thing a pug dabbing t-shirt just you
know kind of a looks like a different
shade of colors maybe some different
color options things like that
so 579 thousand that's not too bad I
usually like the sticks under when I was
doing it about a year ago I would stay
under six hundred thousand and you know
if I found a t-shirt that was like 1999
or above and a couple other people were
selling something similar to it you know
I'd have my designer create the t-shirt
also other great ways is you know once
you're on the t-shirt like obviously you
can scroll through you know you can
click on different t-shirts another
thing that helps that way you know
really speed up the process if you're
looking for sales ranks is you know
invest in Jungle ska I know I use it for
my private label business but it just
works well for anything on Amazon so
I'll
that jungle scout you know information
and link of this description if you're
interested if you ignore learning more
about that but it'll pull down you know
the sales ranks of all the products so
just right off the bat within 30 seconds
I was able to tell like hey so you know
there's five or six shirts that are
under 1 million sales rank you know I
look at them see if the designs unique
or something like that see if there's
possibly an opportunity so that's a
quick way to you know pull up 10 to 20
t-shirts that you can quickly look at
you know if you the sales Frank see if
there's something that you can possibly
you know make a design near or something
that's you know there's a good niche or
in other ways you can spy on other
sellers now this is huge for instance
this seller is listing all of his
t-shirts under his one brand name jb
t-shirts so from this one t-shirt I was
able to scroll through and find 422
results from this one marched by Amazon
southern which is absolutely huge so
then I can scroll through and keep
clicking on the t-shirts you know if you
in the sales ranks I'm not going to do
that because I already have the jungle
Scout Chrome extension I could just pull
them and you can see I mean hey there's
400,000 rank seven hundred thirty
thousand five hundred thousand eight
hundred thousand so I mean there's some
decent sales ranks and he's selling all
of his t-shirts for looks like at least
$17.99 and um so he's making some pretty
good commissions so that is gonna be
step two so the third step in building
your merch by Amazon business is once
you've had your account accepted once
you've found designs that you know you
want to make something similar to you
found a nice where you think you could
possibly have an opportunity for you you
know put a t-shirt in there and make
some really good sales the next thing is
to actually have the design created now
there's two different ways around this
you can either be the designer yourself
you already be a graphic designer so
you're gonna be able to save a little
bit of money you can create the designs
on your own or you know if you want
something that's a little bit more
efficient you know something that you
not have to go and like invest a lot of
your time and you can just outsource it
now my favorite website that i recommend
is Fiverr once again i'll try to link
this in the description again if i don't
know if i forget the link jungle scout
or five or just drop a comment on my
video and i'll see it and i'll put it
back in the description other than that
like this is like a freelancer website
basically you can go and you can hire
other you know entrepreneurs free
II know do gigs do services for you sue
even look at merch by Amazon and I mean
there'll be plenty of sellers that I'll
be able to you know make you t-shirt
designs I mean pretty cheaply $5.00 is
like the basic cost on this website and
I know there's sellers on here if you
order you know maybe 5 to 10 t-shirts
t-shirt design creations at once you can
probably get a discount so maybe you can
get your t-shirts anywhere from you know
three to four and when I was doing this
I was on a way more advanced site hiring
like someone professionally and they're
making designs for like me for like two
dollars a piece but I mean to start out
and get your first teeth first 10
t-shirts listed I might recommend just
you know paying anywhere from four to
five dollars per design and get a really
really high quality design graded you
know listed and create it back on Amazon
I mean you can see try I don't know what
that is
you know I would create a merged Amazon
design $25 bullet points you know I want
creative vintage design $5 custom merch
bamas on design $5 I mean you can see
there's tons and tons of men hearing
like $10 $5 I mean so you can just come
through here and try to find a seller
that has you know a decent amount of
reviews but I mean get 10 t-shirts made
for 10 t-shirt designs made for like $50
so it's just a great way you know to
kind of automate the process you know
you don't have to go and you're not to
go and learn Photoshop or you know Adobe
Illustrator and have to go and create
the design just so if you can just
outsource so that is step three so the
fourth step and one of the last like
that so the fourth step in running your
merge by Amazon business is once you've
found a t-shirt design that you think
you want to make something similar to
you tell your graphic designer you want
something made similar to this you want
to be within this nice you know have
this animal on or something like that
and he has that design created basically
the last step is to go and actually
create the listing for the t-shirt now I
can't show you it right now
does it show a bunch of my personal
information but basically what goes down
is you know you upload your design and
then you're gonna go and you're gonna
select your colors for your t-shirt that
are gonna fit your design the best
you're gonna select what size
you want your t-shirt to be available
for your price point that you want to
sell your t-shirt for then you're gonna
upload your title bullet points and a
description for your product now you
don't have to upload the description or
our bullet points but I mean it doesn't
help to put you know a sentence or two
in there explaining the design the
significance of it you know some
possible features or benefits of the
designs you know potentially build up a
better resume to hopefully sell that
product to the person who viewing your
listing and once you've gone through you
know have the design uploaded colors
sizes you know all the optimization from
your title to your bullet points in your
description your product is then going
to be sent to Amazon for them to review
the design make sure it's not against
any other Terms of Service and then your
t-shirt will be live on amazon.com for
sale so now that you have a better
understanding of you know what the
initial process is for running a merge
by Amazon business how exactly it works
to be able to scale to your first 1,000
dollars selling t-shirts you have to
stay consistent that's such a big word
when it comes to merge by Amazon because
I mean sometimes it'll get boring when
you're doing your research on t-shirt
designs maybe you haven't found one in a
little while or maybe you're just
getting bored I mean just just put some
music in your head find something that
motivates you because this just it's a
great platform you utilize I mean it's
almost it's pretty similar to FBA in the
sense that you know Amazon is still
doing most of the fulfillment for you
you're literally just providing a unique
design and creating someone of unique
listing with like your Tod at your
description and bullet points to then
sell back on Amazon so when it comes to
getting that first $1000 or profit off
of Commission's you just need to keep
consistently going through the process
keep consistently finding you know
seasonal designs know trendy design
designs that are selling but not too
competitive so we can go increase
something similar to it and upload it
back on and sell it on Amazon you know
just keep doing your research keep you
know keep sending your designer you know
different designs and you want to keep
tearing up because what happens is you
start out with a brand new account and
your tier is 10 t-shirts so you can list
10 t-shirts until you sell 10 so the
best thing to do is you know make your
price you
as low as it can go to where you're
making like a cent and just sell as many
teachers as you can at that point then
you get moved up to the next year which
i think is 25 and then the next year is
a hundred and I think it's like either
200 or 500 then it just keeps going up
so the best thing to do is just to keep
tearing up keep you know having more
capacity for you to upload more designs
and just keeps killing the business and
keep staying consistent that's it for
