How To Buy Yourself Out Of Tier 10 (As a Non US Resident)

August 27, 2018 Merch Informer Beginners Guide To Merch by Amazon 7 comments

Almost every single person I have talked to over the few years that Merch by Amazon has been around (and is serious about growing their business) has bought at least one of their t-shirts to test the quality. Lots of people want to hit the ground running as soon as they are approved but you slowly start to realize that Merch forces you to SLOW DOWN! You get 10 slots and can only upload a single design per day. So what does the serious mercher do? They buy their way out of tier 10 of course! This practice used to require 10 shirt sales to get to the next tier of 25, and to get from tier 25 to the […]

UPDATE: How To Resize Popsockets For Merch By Amazon

June 16, 2018 Merch Informer Amazon, Beginners Guide To Merch by Amazon 32 comments

UPDATE! This script has been turned into a web based tool for FREE that you can use without any hangups with coding: https://merchresize.com/ Popsockets have been released on the Merch by Amazon platform and people are starting to have their accounts activated for these new products. However, these are all a different size than we are used to for t-shirts and hoodies, and also have a bit of a learning curve with the bleed area. For those who have 100s or even 1000’s of images, resizing these is a seriously daunting task. Since we knew about popsockets WELL in advance and also added them to the product search module within the Merch Informer software, our good friend Greg Hesp has put […]

How To Turn Google Calendars Into A Merch Calendar

There has been a lot of talk in the Merch Community lately about trends and holidays and for good reason.

The idea is to keep track of different events that might sell well on the Merch by Amazon platform, but with a monthly fee attached. Josh Brown brought this to our attention a few days ago, and it is something we care deeply about. In fact, this […]

May 13, 2018 Merch Informer Beginners Guide To Merch by Amazon 10 comments

Masking an image is probably one of the most exiciting things you can do in the new Merch Informer Products Designer and something I have been playing around with the last few days. This feature is a little bit “hidden” so let me go through a few things you can do with it. If you have no idea what masking an image is, think of it as making the background of any text or shape a separate image. Step 1: Add some text The first step is to add some text. As an example I am going to use the text: New York on a white t-shirt. Step 2: Add your mask image In the menu, select images. Drag the […]

Keyword Research Friday – Merch Informer Made Easy

May 5, 2018 Merch Informer Beginners Guide To Merch by Amazon 10 comments

Just finishing up some keyword research to send off to my designers and thought I would share part of my process. Apologies I am posting this a day late, but this is just one easy way you can utilize Merch Informer to save a bunch of time and find a bunch of untapped niches. Step 1: Find a starting place Typically when I sit down in the morning, I have no idea what I want to research for that day.

Step 2: Niche down Secretaries work hard and are often […]
