Merch By Amazon to Redbubble
About this video
(Summarized from the Arabic caption track.) Martinez shows exactly how he uploads his Merch by Amazon designs to Redbubble, explaining that the video doubles as a training video for his virtual assistant, who will take over the uploading so he can outsource the task instead of spending his own time on it. The goal is a second income stream from designs he already owns: he expects to pay the assistant out of pocket for the first month, but hopes that once more than 1,000 designs are live on Redbubble the site will bring in over $1,000 a month, covering the cost and letting him scale. Working through an example design — a ‘Make Tacos Not Walls’ taco shirt — he disables every product type except apparel (using a tool that filters the options; he focuses only on t-shirts for now, keeping standard-print and large-print clothing) and sets the default color to black, since the design looks better on it. He keeps the listing simple: a short, playful title and nothing in the description, with tags built around the main keyword plus related terms found via a thesaurus (taco, Mexican food, Trump, Donald Trump, food), repeated with variations for each shirt in a niche. He notes he has sold only two shirts on Redbubble so far from about 15 uploaded designs, and expects sales to grow once his full Merch catalog is mirrored there.
Key takeaways
- Mirror your existing Merch by Amazon catalog onto Redbubble to create a second income stream from designs you already own.
- Record your exact upload process as a training video so a virtual assistant can take over the repetitive uploading work.
- Budget to pay the assistant out of pocket at first; his plan pays off once volume (target: 1,000+ designs live) generates enough monthly sales — he hopes for over $1,000 a month — to cover the cost.
- Keep uploads focused: enable only t-shirts/apparel for now, set a sensible default color (black), and skip writing a description.
- Build tags from the main keyword plus thesaurus-related terms (taco, Mexican food, Trump, Donald Trump, food); with only about 15 designs up he had made just two sales, so catalog size is the lever.
