Secret Chrome Extension Makes $1000s on Amazon Merch (NO DESIGN SKILLS NEEDED!)

About this video

The video demonstrates the Productor Chrome extension for Merch by Amazon as a way to make tumblers stand out; the ‘$1000s’ figure appears only in the video title and is not substantiated with earnings figures in the transcript. Martinez explains Merch by Amazon (upload a design, Amazon prints, ships and handles customer service, the seller collects a royalty) and says he has done it for a little over eight years. With Productor he uploads a cute animal design (a beaver/groundhog-like character with hearts and glasses), stays inside the dotted print area, and uses the extension’s duplicate, resize/custom resize and download functions. The main technique is front-and-back designs: duplicate the artwork for both sides, or pair a front graphic with a different back design — in the demo a sarcastic text saying — then preview it, check how it looks on different tumbler colors such as white and silver, and download the finished image for use elsewhere. For research he browses Amazon Valentine’s Day stainless-steel insulated tumblers sold by Amazon, avoiding brand designs such as Disney, and reads BSR as a demand signal (lower BSR means more sales), citing examples around 180K, 146K, 266K and 840K, and notes Merch Informer’s tumbler/trademark check pop-up while cautioning that brand names like Nike or Disney cannot be used. He stresses evergreen angles inside seasonal searches (hearts and animals that do not mention Valentine’s Day), scaling one idea across dog breeds, and swapping the search keyword — e.g. from Valentine’s Day to Groundhog Day, or to a hobby or sport — to surface new selling ideas. He also pitches his Top Research Design Vault, described here as 700-plus niches at $10 a month.

Key takeaways

• Productor’s key feature demonstrated is building front-and-back tumbler designs: duplicate, resize, apply separate front and back artwork, preview, and download.
• Differentiate by pairing a graphic on the front with a different saying on the back instead of using a one-sided design like most competitors.
• Research demand on Amazon by niche/holiday keyword and BSR — lower BSR indicates higher sales velocity; look for consistent sellers.
• Keep designs evergreen where possible and scale a working concept by swapping the animal, dog breed, holiday or hobby keyword.
• Check trademarks (he shows Merch Informer’s tumbler check) and avoid brand designs and names such as Disney or Nike.
