$7k In Profit For December | Merch By Amazon | Etsy

About this video

This is the creator’s December income recap for Merch by Amazon and Etsy. He claims, as his own reported figures, that he sold 1,409 shirts on Merch by Amazon for almost $6,500 in profit, and made roughly $800 to $900 in profit on Etsy for December 1-31, which he describes as his best month in the fourth quarter. He says throttling slowed sales and led him to cut one designer’s output while his main designer still produced about 10 to 15 designs a day, and that Amazon had just raised him to 120 uploads a day, with close to 9,700 total shirt sales as he approached another tier-up. Looking ahead, his main focus is keyword research: he was listing shirts at 16.99, saw lower-tier sellers doing well with basic designs because of keywords, and plans to give his uploader sets of keywords to test. He demonstrates using Amazon search autocomplete for Valentine’s Day terms, noting ‘funny,’ ‘shirt’ and ’t-shirt’ recurring. On Etsy, he observes onesies and ‘my first’ holiday baby designs selling that he had not yet uploaded, plans to hit upcoming holidays at full speed, and mentions sweaters rolling out on Merch by Amazon to tier 100 and above.
