Merch By Amazon Income Report For April - Royalties, Top Shirts, and Amazon Advertisement Spend

About this video

The creator gives his Merch by Amazon income report for April 2021, using Pretty Merch analytics across the US, UK, Germany, France, Italy, Spain, and Japan marketplaces. The creator reports his best day was the 8th at $344 in royalties, average sales of about 72 per day, and that 92% of his sales come from the US. He says he is in the 200K tier and is still trying to raise his average royalty above $4 by repricing older designs from the $16.99–$17.99 range toward $19.99, noting that a $5 average royalty would have meant close to $10,000 instead. Standard t-shirts dominate his account; tank tops rise in summer, men’s fits outsell women’s and kids’, and black and white are the top colors. His top design made 175 sales and almost $900 in royalties, with the next two at about $312 and about $264.69. On US advertising, the creator reports spending $2,930.32 at roughly 19% overall ACOS for 783 orders, calculating US profit of $4,421.61 after ad spend. International ads were still in a testing phase: the UK ran around 17% ACOS and Germany around 12%, France around 13%, while Italy was near 50% ACOS and unprofitable and Spain was close to breakeven — both needing negative targeting and optimization rather than panic. His Q4 goal is $1,000/month from each non-US marketplace.

Key takeaways

• Track analytics by marketplace and product type; the creator’s sales were 92% US, mostly standard t-shirts, with tank tops rising in summer
• Average royalty per sale is a major profit lever — raising prices on older designs toward $19.99 was his priority
• Apply the same ad setup and optimization process in each international marketplace, accounting for language differences
• Don’t panic over an unprofitable marketplace (Italy near 50% ACOS): use the data, add negative targeting, and optimize
• Review ad accounts weekly or biweekly; adjust bids, budgets, and negative keywords based on ACOS versus your goals
