How To Sell Shirts On Merch By Amazon - (Amazon Merch For Beginners - B2B)

About this video

The creator presents an alternative to designing shirts for organic Amazon traffic: a B2B, local-merch model built on relationships with businesses. He tells how, while playing Call of Duty, longtime friends recommended him as someone who makes logos, which led him to design a logo (for a fee) for their new burrito business. After they loved the logo, he offered to put it on t-shirts, had samples printed and sent to them, and positioned the arrangement so the business never holds inventory — customers order through a link (for example in the business’s Instagram bio, or via a QR code or flyer he is working out), Amazon prints and ships, and he handles the product side. He suggests finding clients by walking in, calling, or searching Yelp and Google for local restaurants, breweries, realtors, or new businesses. He recommends putting a royalty agreement in writing — for example a 50/50 split — getting signatures, and sending the agreement to Merch by Amazon to notify them before making the listing live publicly or via a private link. He adds the same B2B idea extends beyond shirts to other Merch products and to KDP, such as a beer-tasting book or a burrito recipe book for the business. He jokes the deal also earns him free burritos for life while the business lasts.

Key takeaways

• Merch by Amazon can be worked B2B: manage shirts for a local business instead of relying only on organic traffic from your own designs.
• Use logo/design work as the entry point — a paid logo for a friend’s new burrito business led directly to the shirt deal and samples.
• Find clients via walk-ins, phone calls, Yelp, or Google searches targeting restaurants, breweries, realtors, and new businesses.
• Put the royalty deal in writing (he suggests a 50/50 split as an example), get signatures, and send the agreement to Merch by Amazon before publishing, publicly or by private link.
• The selling point for the business is zero inventory and zero shipping work; the same model extends to KDP products like a beer-tasting or recipe book.
