How To Write A Merch By Amazon Listing & Redbubble Listing Tags 2021(Uploading Design Tutorial)

About this video

RJ Martinez walks through building a complete listing for a collaborator’s design — ‘Grandma’s Tomato Farm — Garden Fresh, Grown With Love,’ created by Tony from Odyssey Rock from Martinez’s niche ideas — for both Merch by Amazon and Redbubble. He researches keywords with merchresearch.com and the Helium 10 extension, checking a consistent seller’s BSR history and reverse-search phrases to understand who the design targets: grandmothers who garden and love tomatoes, not men. He builds a brand name and title around exact, long-tail phrases such as funny gardener, grandma, tomato, garden, gardening and women, warning not to put ‘gift’ in a Merch by Amazon listing because it can trigger rejection. He argues brand and title carry the most weight, writes two bullet points weaving in grandmother/gardening/cooking angles, and uses Productor to paste the listing across marketplaces and translate it. He sets product types, dark colours and fitted/youth options (cautioning that designs like drinking themes cannot go on youth products) and says he typically starts prices around $19.95–$19.99. For Redbubble he reuses the title, derives around 15 honest tags from related searches and comparable listings’ product tags, centres/scales or disables products where the design does not fit, and stresses never spamming or misleading with tags.

Key takeaways

  • Research keywords from real sellers: check a comparable listing’s BSR history and reverse-search phrases to identify exactly who the design targets before writing the title.
  • Put two exact long-tail phrases in the title where possible so the algorithm can match real searches; Martinez says brand and title hold the most weight in the listing.
  • Do not put ‘gift’ in a Merch by Amazon listing — he says Amazon has been rejecting listings for it — and always check for trademarks before uploading.
  • Use honest Redbubble tags only: the guidance shown is around 15 tags (8–15 if that is all that fits), never spam or mislead with artwork tags or risk suspension.
  • Check the design on every product and colour: disable products it does not suit, watch for phone-case cut-offs between iPhone and Samsung, and be careful which designs are enabled for youth sizes.
