Everything You Need To Know Before Selling On Merch By Amazon
About this video
Martinez gives a beginner overview of Merch by Amazon, which he describes as print-on-demand where Amazon handles printing, shipping, inventory and customer service while sellers upload designs and earn royalties from Amazon’s customers. He claims, as his own results, over $250,000 in royalties and over 70,000 products sold, and says his own approval took about three months / 90 days, advising applicants to complete the whole application and sound professional. His system: start with niches you personally enjoy (sports, animals, hobbies) so you know new sayings before competitors; do niche and keyword research with tools such as Merch Informer and Helium 10, thinking in long-tail phrases customers actually search and placing those keywords throughout the listing; create simple text-based designs or use Freepik/Vexels elements, later moving to custom artists for unique illustrations; price low to build sales velocity, then raise a standard t-shirt toward $16.99-$19.99 once ranking; never use trademarked phrases or logos such as NFL marks without rights; stay consistent, balance quantity/scaled designs with quality, use sales data to expand winning niches, and be patient rather than expecting overnight results.
Key takeaways
- Creator’s claim: he waited roughly 90 days for Merch by Amazon approval — fill out the full application and present yourself professionally
- Start in niches you know personally so you can originate sayings before they appear on competing products
- Put long-tail keywords customers search for throughout the listing; keywords are presented as as important as the design for ranking
- Use simple text designs or stock elements early, and invest in custom illustration later to stand out
- Do not use trademarked phrases or sports logos without rights, and stay consistent and patient while testing quantity versus quality
