Make $5000 On Merch By Amazon In 2022!!!
About this video
[Provenance note: the source transcript for this video is in Arabic; this summary is a faithful English rendering of what that Arabic transcript says.] RJ Martinez presents his strategy for reaching a $5,000-a-month goal on Merch by Amazon, claiming as his own account that he has sold thousands of products and over $200,000 in all-time revenue through Merch by Amazon. First, find the right niche: start with something you know well — a dog breed such as an English Bulldog, cats, a hobby, sports-parent roles, or your own profession such as nursing or dentistry — check demand on Amazon, and aim to dominate that niche with funny sayings while staying ahead of competitors and checking trademarks. Second, create good designs: they need not be elaborate, and can be simple funny text, text with a good illustration, or an illustration alone; he gives three routes — draw them yourself, outsource to an illustrator or build a team as he says he did, or subscribe to stock services he names as Freepik and Vexels and follow their terms. Third, work to a system — for example researching and designing one day and uploading the next — stay current with new sayings inside your niche, and accept that some designs may take months to sell. Fourth, optimise the listing: keyword research is as important as the design itself, combined with a clear brand approach, a strong title and aligned bullet points and description, so the listing can also rank on Google. He stresses making the design eye-catching — bold type filling the whole design space — rather than copying the same saying everyone else uses and landing on page five or six. Finally, promote: use Amazon ads if you have access, and also Pinterest, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, a blog or your own website to drive traffic.
Key takeaways
- Creator’s claim, in his own account: he has sold thousands of Merch by Amazon products and over $200,000 in all-time revenue; the $5,000-a-month figure is presented as a goal achievable with work and consistency, not a guarantee
- Start in a niche you know well — a breed, hobby or your own profession — verify demand on Amazon, check trademarks, and aim to be the best seller in that niche
- Good designs can be simple text, text plus illustration, or illustration alone; make them yourself, outsource to illustrators, or use stock services like Freepik and Vexels under their terms
- Work to a repeatable system (e.g. research/design one day, upload the next) and optimise listings with keyword research, brand, title and bullets so they can rank on Amazon and Google
- Promote beyond organic Amazon traffic with ads and channels such as Pinterest, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, a blog or your own website
