October 24, 2016 Merch Informer Optimization 63 comments

Selling shirts on Amazon with Merch can be super exciting! It can also make you question what you are doing with your life if you take the time and effort to design your shirts but they just are not moving.

You could learn to drive outside traffic like I just wrote about with Pinterest, or you could learn to optimize your listings. A combination of both is ultimately the best but this article is going to focus on the later.’ Coming from an internet marketing background, I have noticed that […]

October 20, 2016 Merch Informer Free Merch Marketing 43 comments

Amazon is an absolute powerhouse for selling items online. At the time of writing this, they are the 5th most visited website in the USA and the 10th most visited website in the entire world.

This can make sense if you are in the higher tiers and have hundreds if not thousands of designs uploaded to the platform. But what of the beginner who only has 25 shirts uploaded and […]
