The Easiest Way To Create Your Own Tshirt On Amazon (Print On Demand Amazon 2021) | Merch by Amazon

About this video

Note: this video’s caption track is in Arabic (the ledger-listed language); the summary below is a faithful English rendering of that Arabic caption text. RJ Martinez walks through creating a first t-shirt for Merch by Amazon, stressing that research is king: do not design something people are not searching for, design for a customer and a hobby you understand, and never use teams or brands — he names the Phoenix Suns and Los Angeles Lakers as examples — without rights. On Merch Research/Merch Informer he filters to Merch by Amazon shirts and sorts by newest arrivals to spot demand, pointing to Fourth of July designs, Christmas in July, and a simple text ‘plant mama’ pride design as examples of holiday and evergreen demand, and warns that sellers gaming the algorithm with punctuation or trademark tricks risk suspension. He explains reading Best Sellers Rank movement as a sales signal and notes very small, low-competition niches can still sell a few shirts a week. He then lists design tools — free GIMP, Merch Informer’s designer (with templates and a three-day free trial he mentions), Affinity/Infinity Designer, Adobe Photoshop/Illustrator, Canva (checking commercial-use rights) and the Over phone app — and builds an example lion design in Merch Informer from a Pinterest-inspired idea and a dominant lion phrase, checking trademarks before downloading the transparent PNG to upload.

Key takeaways

• Research before design: create what customers are searching for and would buy for themselves or as a gift, not what you personally like
• Sort Merch by Amazon listings by newest arrivals in Merch Informer to spot holiday and evergreen demand early
• Avoid trademark infringement and algorithm-gaming tricks, which can get an account suspended
• Simple text-based designs in tiny, low-competition niches can sell consistently even without topping overall rankings
• Free/low-cost options include GIMP and Merch Informer’s template designer; always check commercial-use and trademark status before uploading
