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 […]

Merch by Amazon Success: Interview with Michael Essek

June 27, 2017 Merch Informer Interview Series No comments yet

In the spirit of doing an interview series with some of the most prominent Merch by Amazon users out there, it would not be complete without including Michael Essek. Funny enough, I knew and spoke with Michael on Reddit before I even knew his real name. Since the very beginning he has been involved with the community giving out excellent advice to everyone who asked for it. He represents the other side of the spectrum when it comes to the Merch by Amazon business. Most of us are not graphic designers and rely on simply designs and outsourcing to build our business. Michael is a graphic designer and has built his empire by doing exactly what he preaches. I will […]

Merch by Amazon Success: Interview with Michael V

June 19, 2017 Merch Informer Interview Series 12 comments

Do you have that one friend or family member that you have been talking about Merch by Amazon with but they just would not get started? Well, in today’s interview, we are going to talk to a good friend of ours who did the same thing! We finally convinced him to start with Merch since he already had the tools to succeed and as you are about to find out, he is already doing great money with very little designs up. From our previous success interviews, it can be daunting to see some of these people who do not have normal jobs (9-5) and are doing over six figures a year with thousands of designs live. I believe you can […]

How A Simple Influencer Campaign Made Over $1000 With A Single Shirt (Famebit Marketing)

June 15, 2017 Merch Informer Case Study, Paid Merch Marketing 9 comments

If you have not noticed, we at Merch Informer like talking about marketing your shirts once they are live on Merch by Amazon in order to stand out from the competition. Having a background in marketing has helped tackle the usual channels of marketing that have helped Merchers see success running campaigns and using social media. To start off our guest blog series, we invited Jewel Tolentino to write a post on a marketing strategy that I have not seen anyone really talk much about: influencer marketing. Since Jewel and her business partner are Youtubers, this strategy is a pretty awesome twist on using Youtube to drive amazing sales and traffic to your shirts. Don’t worry, you do not need […]

From talking to people all over the world about Merch by Amazon, there seems to be a few common themes. There are those that are just looking to make a little side money, and there are others who are looking to replace their full time job.

If you have read any of the interview series we have started doing, you will see that some of these people who have dedicated their time to their merch craft have been successful at getting rid of their debt. Not having all that pressure looming over you really helps to […]

Merch by Amazon Success: Interview with Matt Carlett

June 5, 2017 Merch Informer Interview Series 2 comments

When Merch Informer first launched, Matt was one of the first people to jump on board and has stayed with us ever since then! He has seen some crazy growth with his Merch business and regularly posts in the Facebook groups giving general advice and getting people motivated by displaying large daily selling numbers. We got a chance to sit down and chat for a bit about how he approaches Merch and some of the steps he took to get ahead of the curve. He is one of the most helpful Merchers out there, so I will let him take it away! Tell us a little about who you are and a general ballpark of how much per month you […]

Keyword Optimization Merch by Amazon Case Study

May 31, 2017 Merch Informer Amazon, Case Study 33 comments

Do you use keywords in your Merch by Amazon shirt titles? Maybe you only use your keywords in the bullet points. Perhaps you have tried to add the keyword to the brand name as well, but are not really sure why. You could have heard any number of people tell you where and how to include the keywords you want to rank for in your listings. If you have followed Merch Informer, we went over our strategy in the 20k a month case study where we lay out a little on how we do our keywords. This has very clearly worked for us, but everyone has their specific way of doing it. Not only that, everyone will swear that their […]
