t-shirts
and the ones that do really well on my
account are the black
colored t-shirts right with that being
said it's
when it comes to t-shirts it's like
ninety percent of my account that i've
sold uh so there's other of course
there's other products but t-shirts are
number one
um and that's uh so it's a sign right so
when i make a design i focus more on
t-shirts designing for t-shirts
okay um yeah so uh first things first if
you guys haven't uh subscribed to my

if you guys want to be successful
on merch by amazon when it comes to
selling t-shirts right or even just
generated streaming income right
[Music]
so what is print on demand print on
demand
is basically what you're going to do is
create a design put it on a t-shirt
amazon printed on the shirt takes care
of the customer service the returns it
ships it off to the customer
and you just collect the royalty for us
it's literally that simple
it's really awesome really amazing time
that we live in
and this is a really amazing opportunity
um i recommend you take advantage of it
definitely take advantage of it and
let's make some money baby all right so
step number one is uh getting
accepted if you don't have your account
already one of the most important things
is when you're filling out the
application process make sure you fill
out all the blanks
fill out everything right
a little tip too as well if you have a
fba seller central account
from what i've been seeing and what i've
heard you'll get accepted faster into
merch by amazon
so that's a little tip right there but
yeah do not leave nothing blank
okay very important step two is
research and learning the algorithm
so important okay it's like number one
a side of besides getting accepted and
stuff like that
number one is researching and learning
the algorithm and how it works
learning how if a customer is searching
for a product and figuring out what
they're searching for
and then give them what they want right
basically it's that simple give the
customer make it easier on the algorithm
and yourself if you see a customer
searching for a certain product or
certain
searching for a certain phrase give them
what they want
give them what they want the algorithm
is going to reward you
and you're going to make money for else
it's literally that simple
you're just researching understanding
the platform stuff like that
learning the algorithm usually that's
how you're going to make money okay that
applies to pretty much
every single platform whatever platform
you are in a marketplace that you're on
it applies to it if you can learn that
so you can get more eyes on your product
make more money
step number three number three
uh is learning uh your niche right
select a niche pick a niche pick any
niche it could be any niche
but i recommend you starting off with a
niche that
you understand that you like that you
enjoy
it makes it more easy and more funner
for you to design for
right a niche is basically
a dog like a dog niche and then the
subnation into that is like
like a certain dog like for example
english bulldog
a cat and then submission into like
different types of cats
anything tacos burritos okay
that is a niche right and then you sub
niche down you're getting getting more
passionate
to the customer and more direct right so
um
very important that you like understand
like your ideal customer and what they
want and stuff like that selecting your
niche all that stuff all that learning
stuff
about your niche all the all the uh the
knowledge that you need to learn
about your niche is uh very important to
you making your first sales on this
platform and just
in general like long term too as well
rinse and repeat and
applying this once you even grow your
account to that level or
even if a a beginner right all right so
step number four
it's design right once you get your
research down all that stuff
designing comes next uh simple does sell
text based designs do really well
illustrations do
really well illustrations you create
less competition for yourself and be
honest with you
less competition for yourself text based
designs
a lot of people like to copy those and
make their own version of it or whatnot
now with the illustration it's more
unique and different from
everyone else right you have an artist
on your team if you're not an artist you
can
outsource okay find a illustrator that
can draw
and help you make designs i do it
text based designs you can make them on
your phone don't complicate it
real simple real easy okay don't
overthink none of this stuff that i'm
telling you
you can make it on your phone you can
make a text based design on your phone
using the over app you can use canva
there's a lot of tools out there that
you can use
to help you design if you suck right i
suck at designing
so i outsource okay and i built a team
stuff like that it's uh something that i
like to do
right saves me a lot of time so i can
create content to help other people
um and and it's literally it's that
simple
for reals step number six i'm going to
say it's going to be uh like studying
your
uh your competition um when you when you
go into a certain niche
right and you're designing for it you're
going to see some some people just come
into your niche and
compete with you right as you start to
do
designing and stuff like that and be the
best in your niche
you're in a way you're almost you're
creating competition for yourself
because people are gonna see that on the
platform that this design is doing
really well
this t-shirt's doing really well and
it's selling really well so i'm gonna
make my own version of it and yes and
that's normal
um but at the end of the day you're
competing with yourself
but you're going to see your competitors
come in and try to knock you off
and that's that's that's part of the
game right so what you need to do is
make sure you're
on top when it comes to learning your
niche and just outdoing yourself if you
have a top selling
t-shirt in one niche make another one
make another one
okay um try to beat yourself try to be
the best try to outdo yourself
and you might by you doing that you have
three or four or five shirts on the
front page
making consistent sales cells also too
if you have ams
right if you don't i don't know what to
say you should have it right they're
giving us all access to it with the new
advertisement tab up there on the merch
by amazon dashboard but if you don't
have it
you need to figure out a way but use ams
to your advantage
i made six or seven new shirt sales
last week right and these are new niches
right that i've just jumped
dived into but i put some ams behind it
um it's very important
as soon as you upload a design run some
ams as soon as possible to it because
you get more eyes on it more eyes on it
uh increases your chance of making your
first sale right understanding that
um it's gonna it's gonna push your
design more
ams is gonna make more sales and you're
gonna stand out from your competition
a lot of these uh people that are
copying your designs pixel for pixel
they can't compete when it comes to ams
because
um they're scared they're scared to
spend money invest in their business
spend money on advertisement they don't
want to spend money they want to uh
they just want to leverage the platform
and make easy money well newsflash
in order for you to stand out and be to
make more sales running ams
is not a bad idea it's actually a really
good idea right you're going to increase
increase your chances of making sales
but not only that um
make your first sale then you start
ranking in the algorithm and this is how
you get like a best seller in a niche
right
that amazon choice badge and uh number
one new release
okay whatever it is right get one of
those back one of those fancy badges
next to your shirt
it's be um and right running ams
will increase the chances of that
happening too as well after everything
you're collecting your royalty making
some money right
uh how much can you make right and this
is like collecting your royalties it's
easy right getting you setting your
makeup bank account and
getting it transferred over to your bank
account and all that stuff but
how much money realistically can you
make each month i want to say if you
work at this really hard for a year
okay you can make anywhere between three
thousand and five thousand dollars a
month consistently
okay but you gotta work at it this is
not it's not before it was a lot more
easier because we had
not that many uh we're not that much
competition
uh but now it's a little bit more
challenging you have to be
different when it comes to your design
that makes you stand out that increases
your chance of your sales
right but realistically three to five k
a month
but i want to say you want to work at
this for a whole year for you to be able
to
have that consistent stream of income
that will pay for your bills or
whatever it may be it's it's definitely
a challenge
but as you rank your products rank your
t-shirts
they're going to make those long-term
sells for you and rank better the more
the better that your shirts rank in the
algorithm
the more sales you'll get okay um and
and that's pretty much like uh one of
the most important things
to having consistent sales every single
month right
and everything that i've we talked about
it plays a factor into you
to make consistent sales and make money
uh when it comes to tearing up on your
merch by amazon account i always
recommend just start
because you'll make more sales if you
price your products low it's just proven
fact i've done it over and over and over
so if you're not making no profit at the
beginning for you to focus on tearing up
to get out of the lower tiers
to your under under the lower tiers of
500 you have to of course
have 80 uploads so 400 over 400 live
designs and of course over 500 cells
um in order for you to to do that um you
have to have the sales volume right and
and to tear up to that next level to
have the design space
for you to put up designs me personally
myself i'm over
i'm over at 100k tier so i have
you know i can upload a ton of designs
um but of course i want designs that
sell right it doesn't matter what tier
you're at at the end of the day
but because the goal is to have designs
that sell if you can have
you can be at 500 tier and have 400
designs that are selling consistently
right and next thing you know it two
months three months from now 400 designs
are selling consistently
you're going to have over 1200 to 1600
cells right so at that point
the tier doesn't really matter because
you're going to have double the amount
of cells
but when you're first starting to get to
learn the algorithm for you to
understand to learn the out learning the
algorithm and understanding the
algorithm
for yourself right personally yourself
it's all about testing
testing trial and error right making
mistakes
getting rejections that's all part of
the game right
learning how to price your products what
works for you i can't tell you to price
your pr
how to price your products but i can
tell you what data that i've received
personally myself
um i know the pricing really low will
help you get out of the lower tiers
because you'll make more sales faster
right now person myself i'm uploading
straight to 19.99 with standard t-shirts
and they're making a 5.5 royalty so
those those five or seven shirts that i
listed
that made sales last week that were new
they're all listed at 19.99 and
it's really cool and of course have ams
running each of them
and yeah it's the name of the game right
so a lot of
valuable value in this video a lot of
content follow these steps
and you'll definitely be making three to
five k
a month in the over the next year right
um so but of course remember it just
takes work right it's not going to be
easy
definitely not going to be easy because
i want you guys to think that okay if i
it it's it's a process right and just
work at it for a year
work at it for two years right you might
not get it in the first year
two years right you may get it then and
then some of the experiences like when i
first started this
uh this journey with merged by amazon at
the very beginning it was just
it was all about testing right pricing
low
getting that first initial sale ranking
to the front page
and then all of a sudden i noticed that
i was making consistent sales uh for me
personally and then it went from uh
400 a month to 15
to two to three to four to five to six
right and it's ever since like i have
one video where
i did uh over 10 or like 13 000 or 12
000
in one month and i believe that was in
june um if you guys want to go check
that video out too as well
i'll link that down below in the
comments or the description wherever the
heck that is
but yeah man it just it's you know i
mean it's all about learning and testing
at the end of the day right
what works for you what things what do
you think works for you what what you
think works
works for you it's all about testing and
testing is one of my
most favorite things for me to do in
this freaking world
so um yeah with that being said check
out these videos right here to help you
grow
your merch by amazon business
