Journey To A 6 Figure Business Merch By Amazon Results For May
About this video
Martinez gives a short May update on his journey toward a six-figure Merch by Amazon business, describing May as his first full month uploading every day. He explains he had been testing many designs at $12.95 and raising prices on holiday sales, but changed his pricing mindset: if his design is as good as or better than a comparable one, he will now match the middle or highest comparable price, including $19.99 when he feels a buyer will pay it. He says that after hearing a claim in a group that selling 38 shirts a day at $19.99 makes a six-figure business, he raised prices on some early designs — one had been $14.95 — and made seven sales that day at $19.99, which changed how he views pricing. He also describes testing sponsored ads on his top sellers, starting each at a $2 daily budget and doubling to $4, then $8, after sales. He states he is at tier 500, wants tier 1,000, has sold about 1,400-1,500 shirts by his count, is outsourcing to one designer, and sets a goal — presented as his goal, not a result — of $5,000 profit for June.
Key takeaways
- Creator’s claim: raising prices toward $19.99 on designs he judged as good as competitors produced seven sales in one day.
- Price to the middle or highest comparable listing when the design warrants it, rather than defaulting to $12.95 test pricing.
- His ad test starts top sellers at $2/day and doubles the budget to $4, then $8, only after a campaign makes sales.
- Creator’s stated status and goal: tier 500 aiming for tier 1,000, about 1,400-1,500 shirts sold, and a $5,000 profit goal for June.
- He reports outsourcing design to one designer while uploading daily himself during his first full month of daily uploads.
