When it comes to Merch by Amazon, making 5 figures a month is certainly possible if you spend the time and effort to get there. In fact, we just ran an article on running the numbers for 1k a month as well as 6 figures a year. For a lot of us, 6 figures a year was the goal from the start. I usually get a lot of questions on what the “secret” is and how they too can get there. If I am being REALLY honest with everyone, there is not a secret. The answer is pretty simple. Fill your slots, tier up, and get a good sell through rate with many shirts on Amazon. It is literally as […]

Is it really possible to make a full time income with Merch by Amazon? There are people out there that are absolute skeptics and will never understand the pull and amount of traffic that Amazon has. Instead of talking to this subset group of people, I think the best course of action is just to break down the best way to think about hitting your goals. It does not matter if you only want to make an extra 1k a month in order to pay your mortgage or your car payment as a little side gig, or attempt to go full time and pull down 6 figures a year! Amazon Traffic What most people like to rely on when they […]

How many of you are stuck in the 10 or 25 tier and are having an issue getting out because gaining traction is hard? You may have heard it before, but let me just hammer it home again: Merch is a numbers game! You cannot expect to see daily sales when you have 10 or 25 shirts live. This is just a fact of the Merch by Amazon game. Now, I do know people who get lucky and get in a trending niche or a seasonal niche and get traction and it takes off. In fact, there are people who earn $1,000 a DAY just from a few trendy shirts. Unless you think outside of the box, get in early, […]

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 […]

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 […]
