If you missed the second update in the series, you may want to check that otherwise. Otherwise, prepare yourself to get a real dose of what everyone was feeling for the month of July. 100k School Debt to Financial Freedom – Merch by Amazon Update 2 You should read that article, but if you are really lazy and do not want to take your time, what happened was that my girlfriend was about to 5X the earnings of the account with 30 […]

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 […]

July 17, 2017 Merch Informer Beginners Guide To Merch by Amazon 17 comments

Merch by Amazon seems to be on a role lately of tier ups as well as expanding the program a lot of us have grown to know and love. With the expansion comes opening up more slots for brand new designers and business people who have the chance to take advantage of all that Merch has to offer. Because of this max influx of people to MBA, here at Merch Informer we have decided to run a series that is more targeted to people who are just getting started. This series will be called “The Beginners Guide To Merch by Amazon” and should contain bits and pieces of information that should keep your account safe and help you blow up […]

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 […]
