Selling merch designs on Merch by Amazon is a rewarding venture as it can help you bring home a sound profit. It’s a cost-efficient way to start an off-hand business as the side gig doesn’t require a financial investment on your behalf. All that you have to worry about is coming up with an attractive design that buyers will love. Although this may sound easy, if you’ve been a Merch by Amazon Seller for some time now, you’ll probably agree that it’s a challenge to keep the creative juice flowing. You may have started fresh and full of innovative ideas. However, as time goes by, it’s completely natural to start finding it difficult to find your muse and come up […]

By now, everyone probably knows that Merch by Amazon has currently shut down their USA printing facilities because of COVID-19. Just recently Merch by Amazon let us publish drafts so that we can get ready to launch products as soon as they are back up and running. During this time, many people have decided to stop working on their print on demand business completely. Here at Merch Informer, we like to focus on things we can actually control! There is going to be a good opportunity to set some things up so that by the time that Merch gets back to normal, we can get ahead of everyone else! So, with that in mind, let’s go over one of my […]

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 […]

For one reason or another, the majority of Merch by Amazon users are not willing to spend money to actually market the goods they work so hard to create. While this is not recommended (we have lots of guides on how to drive your own traffic), there is nothing wrong with wanting to ride the Amazon gravy train as long as possible. With the Amazon/Shopify Integration that just happened and the Teespring update (guide coming soon everyone, we have inside information here), the simple truth of the matter is that if you want to stand out from the competition and increase your sales, you will need to differentiate yourself from the flood of new designs going online. Here at Merch […]

Being part of all the Merch by Amazon Facebook groups and talking to people who are just getting started with the platform often have the same complaint. They open up their account and see they have 25 spots available. They will then slowly fill up the slots and after 3 weeks, may have a few sales or even worse nothing! Does this sound familiar, or is this describing you? I have seen over and over again posts like this, and then the responses are always the same “have patience!”. Coming from a marketing background, I always thought this was not the best response. If you have nailed down your Merch SEO and made sure that your listings are good, you certainly […]

Amazon is an absolute powerhouse for selling items online. At the time of writing this, they are the 5th most visited website in the USA and the 10th most visited website in the entire world. With over 2 billion visitors each and every month, Merch by Amazon has allowed us to start to leverage this incredible traffic source to make more sales. With all the traffic available though, there are also a lot of sellers that are relying only on organic traffic to make money. This can make sense if you are in the higher tiers and have hundreds if not thousands of designs uploaded to the platform. But what of the beginner who only has 25 shirts uploaded and […]
