every one hurricane liz here back for
another video and today i'm not only
going to show you a t-shirt that made me
over seven thousand dollars in sales but
I'm also gonna lay out for you my step
by step how to get started our merch
guide so that YouTube can get up to $100
a day now keep in mind when I'm laying
this out it doesn't mean you're gonna
make that hundred dollars a day ASAP
anyone that tells you that is full of
crap and I'm gonna instead show you how
with some work and with some effort over
a period of time you will to be able to
make eight hundred dollars a day and
you're gonna see how this shirt just
crushed it for me now these are all
based on my experiences and I'm gonna
show you some of the key things that you
can do to get started that way you can
make money in twenty twenty specifically
designing your own t-shirt so let's go
ahead and jump into my screen share and
I'll show you the best way to get
started making money with t-shirts so
the first thing to understand is I'm
gonna be showing you using Amazon merch
now there are several other ways that
you can actually get started making
money with t-shirts there's stuff like
facebook there's stuff like Pinterest
and there's all sorts of ways that you
can make money but I'm specifically
going to be talking about merch so what
are the advantages of merch well it's
pretty simple merch is a platform where
you can create t-shirt designs and then
they get sold on Amazon which means you
get to use all of amazon's customers
which have their credit cards on file
and in exchange amazon will pay you a
royalty fee for selling your actual
t-shirt on amazon so how much do you get
paid well it really depends on the price
of your t-shirt so keep that in mind a
lot of people prefer to go with a lower
price that way they make money just
dollars here dollars there but there's a
lot of people that put a lot of effort
into it so they pick a higher price and
really at the end of day it's all up to
you and it also depends on what
promotional method you're going to try
now there's really two big promotional
methods the first one is making it a
game of numbers what I mean by that is
just listing as many t-shirts as
possible that's sort of the play that I
took now keep in mind I did try the
other
that witches running ads or doing
promotions to the other method that
involves a little bit more money and
it's pretty much a guessing game so I
prefer to do the game of numbers however
if you want to learn the promotional
method well you are going to need to
learn Facebook Ads so that just requires
a little bit more time and effort to
learn how to actually run ads to your
t-shirts but let's go ahead and jump in
and look at the very first step that
you're going to need to take in order to
use the merch platform okay so the very
first step is to request an invitation
when you do that you're going to have to
create your Amazon account you can use
an existing one I would prefer to create
a new one and then use that specifically
just for merch and not anything else
once you request the invitation
it could take merch anywhere from a
couple days to a couple weeks to accept
you but once you get accepted then
you're all ready to go so that brings us
to step two now with step to that is
researching selling t-shirts so what
we're gonna use is a strategy of taking
t-shirts that are already out there that
are making money and then trying to make
them better or put putting a spin on the
design ourselves so let's take a look at
this and start looking at a couple
different places we can research
t-shirts the very first one obviously is
going to be amazon.com and what we can
just do here is type in t-shirt and see
what pops up at the end of it a lot of
times it'll tell us what's actually hot
like t-shirts for men funny sayings um
see what else let's click on that and
see what pops up t-shirts for men saying
like having something like I don't need
Google my wife knows everything might be
against some people's Terms of Service I
don't know if you can use Google on
their free words of wisdom like again
this somebody that is actually putting
Yoda so that's probably not a good idea
he's sorry I'm late I didn't want to
come something like that is pretty good
to do like it's I've got an actual shirt
now I'm even gonna show you guys these
shirt
that says people not a big fan and that
shirt has sold hundreds and hundreds
possibly even close to a thousand
t-shirts and all it says is people not a
big fan so at the end of the day our
goal is to go through here and get as
many ideas as we can see that are
selling and then try and figure out okay
can I make this like duct tape can't fix
stupid this is a decent one it's kind of
like hi with the BS are you want some
some t-shirts with a lower B s are like
this is a really good one if you met my
family you'd understand
and it's 17,000 and clothing which means
it's probably selling pretty hot so this
is a perfect example of one we could
copy and maybe change the text and the
font I flexed and the sleeves fell off
here's another good idea of 120 900 in
clothing this can also give you your own
ideas let's say for example that you
kind of have some funny things that
people think are funny that you say this
is the perfect chance to say that kind
of crap and put it on a t-shirt right
this is your chance to prove that you're
funny like I found this humorous I don't
find that humorous at all but obviously
a lot of people do because this thing is
77,000 in clothing looking at my wife I
think damn she is a lucky woman that's a
perfect example of a good freaking
t-shirt so again 136,000 and clothing
think about how you could make that
better with font or something else and
we'll talk a little bit more about
designs here in a second now the second
way you can find really cool designs is
by going to a site called Juanillo comm
this is a huge site with all the Shopify
guys I'm just gonna sign into here so
you guys can take a look and see why I
like to use it and what you can just see
here is like look at this 1900 saves
means that it's pretty freakin popular
right now we rhinoceros is just a fat
unicorn that's a perfect example of
something that you could actually put on
Amazon so let's take a look at that a
rhinoceros is just a fat unicorn
[Music]
nobody really has it they have it on a
mug but that's about it
but this 353,000 in kitchen and dining
which is not gonna like really
to a freaking house at the end of the
year anything but it certainly can sell
a couple hundred which a couple hundred
added with another couple hundred I can
be a good thing so that's just an
example of one like there's some of
these that have a massive amount of
shares Feliz Navidad 3400 I stole her
heart so I'm stealing his last
I don't know name 4,600 I thought it
said last so and I was like that's a
that's a damn gold digger right there if
I've ever seen one let's see what else
leave your worries and your shoes at the
door this one hour means I love you in
dinosaur not that many saves but you can
really just look through here and find
ones with a massive amount of saves and
then use them for your ideas nerd I
prefer the term intellectual badass that
doesn't look like it's selling that well
but anyways people I want to punch in
the face
15900 it's almost like a checklist you
could just do a checklist like you can
produce something like people I want to
punch in the face and then hit lead a
little checklist a checkoff box and put
my mother-in-law how people might buy
that kind of crap so that's already give
you guys a freaking example that I know
will sell like hotcakes people want to
punch in the face my mother-in-law
perfect alright so let's go to the third
and final way to figure this out that is
by using a site by the name of merchants
former so I'm gonna log in this is a
paid site so you will have to pay a
registration fee to actually join this
but let me show you why this is super
cool it's got a feature in there called
merge hunter I'm gonna click in a merge
hunter and I'm just gonna straight-up
tell merge hunter that I want it to tell
me the top 100 best sellers
I can even pick more than that I could
pick the top 500 and then I can hit
search I want to merge by Amazon
t-shirts and I want the US market place
and I'm just gonna let it come back to
me in 36 seconds and tell me what's hot
right now and obviously baby Yoda is red
hot like who doesn't like whoever
doesn't like baby I don't understand who
could not like baby Yoda right if you
you know like baby odor if you don't
think he's cute then there's a problem
with you that's it don't watch this
video if you know like being Yoda but
anyways trump trump is a perfect
thing here is an example of one that you
can actually do your own design I do
what I want it's a freaking cat flipping
people off pretty simple to do and to
copy that design pew-pew pew-pew pew-pew
that's pretty piu e resting pit face
there's a lot of a lot of stuff that you
can really knock off here a lot of stuff
with just words my perfect day and
here's a perfect day and there's a
reason I keep stressing the words thing
and we're gonna learn about that in the
next step but already gotten a quite a
few ideas that are pretty fairly easy to
make and do so let's get into the next
step and that step is getting our design
mate now I'm gonna show you the absolute
most bootstrap method which means it's
cheap AF right and then I'm going to
show you the higher versions of this
method so the first version is go to
youtube and google how to how to use
photoshop right or even better than that
there's another thing called and I can't
even spell photo poop I can't even spell
it right but there are a ton of
tutorials that will show you how to use
it so at least you can get good enough
to be able to duplicate some of these
words right you can do the words ones
your stuff so that's the absolute most
boostrap method the next thing that you
could do if you don't want to do that
and you actually want to invest some
money instead of some time is go to
Fiverr and search t-shirt design and on
Fiverr you can find guys that can do
your t-shirt for a very little amount of
money this one here is starting at 50
which is kind of high like he's the one
that's actually figuring out the design
I would design a t-shirt and merchandise
graphics for 5 bucks these are the guys
that I'm talking about look for the five
dollar guys and then show them the
t-shirt that you want to design and what
you want to do different on it and
they'll do it so that's a second method
where you can use $5 now the third
method which is the method that I use is
I went to a site by the name of online
jobs pH and I hired what's called a
virtual assistant I posted a job I hired
a virtual assistant there's all sorts of
virtual assistants out there they can do
things like design t-shirts right so I'm
going to put t-shirt
and you were to see a bunch of their
resumes pop up and now you can read
through the resumes you can also see
what they want to get paid
so I basically posted a job and I offer
to pay a t-shirt designer $300 for a
full-time job 40 hours a week designing
t-shirts not stop that's how I went
about it you can see that some of these
people have $100 required amount to
start designing t-shirts and they can
work $10 10 hours a week there's a lot
of people that are from a hundred all
the way on up to even a thousand dollars
you can get some very good people here
on the site this is where I've hired all
the phenol Filipino v---aids that I have
and so you can get a really good deal by
hiring somebody here to design your
t-shirts and of course like I said
before you don't have to start with the
300 like I did you could start very low
that was somebody that popped up here
for $100 a month for 10 hours a week
that's pretty darn good
you can get them to design t-shirts for
10 hours a week and again go with the
game of numbers you can do yourself the
tax version ones and you could have them
do the ones that require photos so
that's the third way that you can
actually get these t-shirts designed
because the next and final step is how
do you promote your t-shirts now
remember I told you there are two ways
to do this the first way is just playing
the game on numbers meaning the more
shirts you can actually post on there
the better and I'll show you what I mean
I actually stopped selling on merch in
2017 in 2017 I hit as much as $10,000 in
a single month selling merch and then I
just found out it wasn't for me now the
reasons it wasn't for me is because I
find that when I managed Filipino
workers it just doesn't work out well
and they end up not doing a lot of
anything and to truth be told I really
wasn't good at giving them brand new
designs so the last few that I made a
significant amount of money on merch was
2017 since then not a single design has
been made not a single finger has been
lifted but yet I still get paid every
single month from Amazon on my multiple
merch accounts now take a look at one
now this is just one merch account where
I did pretty decent on a t-shirt that
was made way back when now I'm even
gonna reveal to you the t-shirt I'm
inside
one of my merch accounts and you notice
that during 11 1 20 19 to 11:30 2019
I'll refresh it again and again so you
guys can see this is legit what freaking
happened and you'll see I'm on
amazon.com I've never even looked at UK
I've never even looked at Dee because
again I hardly ever even logged in here
and what you're gonna see right here is
there's a t-shirt called a turkey face
pink bow t-shirt kids Thanksgiving gift
I click on that take a look at this and
here is the design this shirt crushed it
for Thanksgiving 526 purchased and seven
thousand seven hundred sixty-four
dollars made in revenue and obviously I
wasn't selling it for a very high price
let's take a look at what it was I don't
even remember
$14.99 which is really freaking cheap I
still made 10 percent which is 732
dollars in cash so this month alone on
this account was over $750 and every
single month it brings in quite a bit as
well as the other ones so every single
month I passively and have an income
since 2017 since we quit this so for the
past two years passive income and
sometimes I get a super sweet bonus like
that turkey shirt so boom there you have
it that's exactly how you can make money
with the game of numbers however if you
want to do it super bold like we were
doing it at one point and we got it to
the 10k then you're gonna have to learn
how to do extra promotion that promotion
can be done through Facebook through
Instagram through Pinterest any one of
those things and that's beyond the scope
of this video if you are interested in
me teaching our Facebook method though
put a put an actual comment below
subscribe to the channel and I will
definitely think about it I will show
you how we actually do giveaways and
rank products through our Facebook
funnels if that interests you let me
know post a comment and tell me how you
like this video other than that merch
it's still a fantastic business option
if you're willing to put in the work and
the effort to make money on merch it can
still work for you take a look at me two
years later and I'm still collecting a
passive check for merch without lifting
a single finger I'll see you guys in the
next video
