Merch By Amazon & Etsy : September Results - 1,299 Shirts Sold Profit $4,832
About this video
Martinez reports his September Merch by Amazon and Etsy results, presenting them as his own figures. He says he sold almost 1,300 shirts in September — the video title claims 1,299 shirts and $4,832 profit — with about $20,000 in product purchases and a payout he expects to be about $5,000. A key change on September 11 was raising new uploads from $12.99 to $16.99 after checking front-page averages around $15.99-$17.99; he says sales increased right away and calculates the roughly $3-4 difference as about $1,200 extra over 400 shirts. He reports 3,085 live designs, over 4,000 shirts sold overall by his estimate, and expects to tier up at 3,200 live designs. For October’s first days he claims daily profits around $236 and $260 and projects $6,000-$8,000 for the month if the pace holds. On Etsy he reports 11 orders / about 12-13 shirts and roughly $80 profit in the first month, with per-order profit he puts at $8-$20, noting Etsy buyers will pay shipping. He frames a first month as an investment to reinvest, not expected profit.
