Amazon Merch Chrome Extensions I Use

About this video

Note: this video’s caption track is in Arabic, summarized in English. RJ Martinez walks through the Chrome extensions he uses for Merch by Amazon research and uploading, saying he hates uploading and compensates by making fewer, higher-quality designs. He reports, as his own claims, that he passed $80,000 in lifetime royalties three days before filming, is targeting $100,000 before his July 17 birthday, sits at tier 14,000 with 9,013 live designs, and saw 64 and 25 sales on two recent days. The tools: DS Amazon Quick View for on-page Best Seller Rank (with a warning that a seller buying their own shirt can fake a low BSR — check the design’s age and sales history in Merch Informer or Keepa); Merch Research to filter search results to Merch-only shirts and run USPTO trademark checks; Merch Mastermind Toolkit, which pins the BSR onto the product page and copies the full URL with Shift+Ctrl+Space for sharing with designers; a multi-link opener so many upload tabs load at once; AMZ Suggestion Expander, which he calls essential for seeing real keyword demand in Amazon’s search bar; Pretty Merch (free and paid versions) for a clean analytics dashboard — he stresses it brings no extra sales, only workflow and data; Keepa, which he says works better for FBA than for Merch shirts; Merch Informer Lister’s one-key color and info profiles (B for black-friendly designs, W for light colors); and Amazon Merch Batcher, which he says costs him $10 a month, for filling listing fields across uploads with Ctrl-key shortcuts — with a caution that batch-filling an adult design onto kids’ sizes can get an account rejected.

Key takeaways

• RJ’s stated position (his claims): over $80,000 in royalties, tier 14,000, 9,013 live designs, aiming for $100,000 before his July 17 birthday
• Research stack: DS Amazon Quick View for BSR, Merch Research for Merch-only results and USPTO checks, AMZ Suggestion Expander for keyword demand
• Verify a low BSR before copying a design — check listing age and sales history (Merch Informer/Keepa), since a self-purchase can fake rank
• Upload speed stack: Merch Mastermind Toolkit (BSR overlay, Shift+Ctrl+Space URL copy), a multi-tab opener, Merch Informer Lister color profiles, and Merch Batcher (he says $10/month)
• Pretty Merch is workflow/analytics only — RJ explicitly warns it will not generate sales by itself
