Anime Tshirt Design Listing on Merch by Amazon in the Right Way | Print on Demand What You Must Know

About this video

The creator walks through exactly how he researched the anime niche for Merch by Amazon and then built a listing. On merchresearch.com he leaves the search blank, keeps results on featured, and filters to new arrivals from the last 30 days to see what is selling now, checking BSRs. He observes sellers mixing anime with other themes like food and video games, and advises sub-niching down to something different with barely any competition rather than copying broad designs. He warns repeatedly about infringement — designs resembling a PlayStation controller or leveraging a TV show brand can get a seller in trouble. He then builds his own anime design listing using tools he names, including Helium 10 (including its Cerebro keyword tool), Merch Informer for a trademark check, Productor to place the design on hoodies and other products, and the AMZ Suggestion Expander extension. For the listing itself, he puts the design’s phrase first in the title, aims for two long-tail keywords in the title, uses a keyword in the brand name, and treats the brand, title, and bullet points as the main focus, while leaving the product description largely as-is. He says there is no guarantee the design will sell, and plans to run AMS ads and report back only if it makes a sale.

Key takeaways

• Research method: on merchresearch.com, filter Merch by Amazon shirts to new arrivals from the last 30 days and study their BSRs to see what is selling right now.
• Sub-niche down inside a big niche like anime: find a different angle or unique funny saying with barely any competition instead of copying existing designs.
• Avoid infringement: do not leverage TV shows, brands, or recognizable controllers you do not have rights to.
• Run a trademark check (he uses Merch Informer) before publishing a design.
• Listing structure: phrase of the design first, aim for two long-tail keywords in the title, a keyword in the brand name, and focus effort on brand, title, and bullet points.
