Merch By Amazon : Advance Research and Long Sleeves

About this video

The creator says he was just approved by email to sell long sleeve t-shirts on Merch by Amazon and is having his uploader add them. He reports asking a friend named Matt about pricing, who told him $24.99 to $27.99 has been selling, that he claims 6 to 7 sales a day, and that this implies roughly $4 to $7 profit per shirt. The main topic is his advanced research method: niche, then sub-niche, then the exact phrase in that sub-niche, digging progressively to find lower competition with some demand. Working on Christmas (saying Thanksgiving designs should already be uploaded), he says he looks for designs with a sales rank under roughly 800K, aims for 1,500 results and below, and always warns to check trademarks, which he has not done for the examples shown. Examples include ‘Christmas pajama’ leading to the phrase ’this is my Christmas pajama shirt’ with only 247 results and several top shirts under 800K, Christmas boxer dog shirts with more competition, and ‘pug Christmas’ narrowed to the phrase ‘dabbing through the snow’, which he presents as a strong example with demand shown in sales ranks. His plan for a good phrase is to make several shirts from it and send designs to his designer.

Key takeaways

• Research in three layers — niche, sub-niche, then exact phrase — digging deeper each step to reduce competition while keeping demand.
• Use sales rank as a demand signal: he targets designs under about 800K and search results of 1,500 and below, lower being better.
• Worked example: ’this is my Christmas pajama shirt’ had 247 results with top shirts under 800K, indicating low competition with sales.
• Long sleeves pricing, as reported from his friend Matt: list at $24.99-$27.99; Matt claims 6-7 sales a day at roughly $4-$7 profit each — presented as that friend’s claim, not verified.
• Always check trademarks before using a phrase or design, and watch for keyword stuffing that can make irrelevant shirts appear in results.
