$4k Profit For January | Merch By Amazon | Etsy | Shopify

About this video

RJ Martinez recaps his January print-on-demand results across platforms. He says Merch by Amazon was slow in the first two weeks amid what he describes as throttling, then recovered as top sellers re-ranked, finishing with 835 shirts sold for $3,413 profit, per his creator claim. He highlights a Valentine’s Day design he says cost $2, sold over 100 times, and was priced up to $19.89 for about $5 profit per sale, then cross-listed to Etsy and Shopify. For Etsy, he reports 61 orders and $1,418 in sales, calling it his best month yet, slightly ahead of December, and notes using promoted listings, including a day he says $6 in ad spend produced $147 in revenue. For his new Shopify store, he reports about $100 in sales while testing Facebook and other social ads, and cautions that testing on Shopify takes money. He stresses outsourcing design and operations to free time to test new platforms, and sets a goal of reaching $10k in a month.
