How To Pick Your Merch by Amazon T-Shirt Display Color

August 9, 2017 Merch Informer Amazon 29 comments

If I had a dollar for every person who asked me how they could pick the display color of their Amazon Merch shirts within Amazon when they first post, I could probably retire. Over and over again, people come to me with this question and until today I have not really had an answer for them. How many times have you put up a shirt and the display color is almost always the least attractive option? Some shirts work well on darker colors, while others work on light, but there is often 5 good choices with one being kind of “iffy”. For me, this is almost always the yellow color or light blue. Do not get me wrong, these sell […]

Stop Trading Your Time For Money! Scale Your Merch Business

August 8, 2017 Merch Informer Amazon 12 comments

I recently got back from a conference in sunny California talking to people about Merch by Amazon and how (in my opinion and many others), it is the best online opportunity to make extra money or simply replace your day job. So many of the people I talked to where trying to figure out what designs worked best, the best way to get their products in front of customers, how to market, how to use keywords, and the list went on and on. MOST people I know in this business are not designers themselves but are still trying to learn how to design and get things to sell. The day started off talking about “being good”. The simply fact is […]

The Beginners Guide To Merch by Amazon – My Merch Informer Workflow Explained

July 27, 2017 Merch Informer Beginners Guide To Merch by Amazon 25 comments

I have been seeing a lot of people mentioning lately that they understand how Merch Informer works, but are having an issue coming up with an ideal workflow or that they do not understand where to start. MI has come a long way since we first released with a lot of new modules, each one of them implemented to help in our work flow in some way. Instead of pointing out the bits and pieces of what I have already written that covers a module here and a module there, I thought I would go a little into my own workflow or where you might want to start. Keep in mind that because of the vast amount of people who […]

The Ultimate Merch by Amazon Career/Hobby List

July 20, 2017 Merch Informer Amazon, Merch Holidays 19 comments

When doing your research to decide on what designs you should do next, most people get really hung up on the same niches time and time again. This eventually leads to a LOT of competition with everyone competing for the same top slots doing the SAME niche shirts. Sound familiar? If not, check out the amount of “Nurse” shirts, or “dog” shirts out there. Do not get me wrong, you can make very good money in these niches. You know what is MUCH better though? Making designs for professions and hobbies that no one else is targeting. I love doing career shirts because they sell well and are evergreen. The secret is just creating designs for professions which are either […]

Merch by Amazon Success: Interview with Hektor

July 15, 2017 Merch Informer Interview Series 7 comments

Making a full time living online is amazing but my personal favorite aspect is the amount of diverse and interesting people you meet through networking. Today I got to sit down with Hektor who I have personally known for about 3 years now and we even got to work together on an affiliate project a few years ago (cashed out near 6 figures which I can imagine was a HUGE amount to a 16 year old at the time). I wanted to make sure I got to tell his story as I think a lot of people that read the Merch Informer blog can probably relate. If you have felt like giving up on Merch or if you decided to […]

Merch by Amazon Success: Interview with Chris Green

July 10, 2017 Merch Informer Interview Series 4 comments

If you are in the world of selling online via Amazon, even a little bit, you have no doubt at least heard the name Chris Green. A type of “Merch Messiah” to many, thousands of people have attributed him as the reason they got started with Merch by Amazon in the first place. Coming over from the seller world, I never really understood how many people he got started selling on Amazon (all types of selling not just merch) until I met the guy in person! Everyone had their own CG story of how he had helped them in their journey. With that, I will let him take it away in our interview where I ask him some questions on […]

How To Sell 100 Merch by Amazon Shirts A Day Using Reddit

July 7, 2017 Merch Informer Free Merch Marketing 58 comments

What if I told you that you could sell an extra 100 shirts every single day through Merch by Amazon? Sounds a bit far fetched I know. The great thing about understanding marketing though is that this is VERY achievable if you know what you are doing. Most people rely on organic traffic through Amazon to sell their shirts. This is great and something I love doing myself. Amazon seems to have an almost endless amount of organic traffic that will shop and buy products all day long. If you rely on that traffic only, you are doing yourself a disservice. You are fighting for that organic traffic that EVERYONE else is fighting for when getting ahead of the game […]
