Thanks for your transparency. I mentioned this before on your last income update but I'd love to see you do a different challenge in 2025 where you come up with more unique quotes for your challenges. A lot of your designs are improved designs of quotes that already exist. (Pitbull mom, leveling up, etc.) I'd love for you to come up with more unique quotes and niches that haven't been used as often. It may be harder, but less competition. Your designs look great, but there are already so many designs targeting those same phrases and niches. Just a thought! Keep up the great work!
Thank you so much for sharing. May I please ask if you would advise that one diversifies their designs for the different marketplaces or is it okay to load the same designs on different platforms?
It depends how much work you want to put into it. Each marketplace will be a little different so if you could diversify that would help with sales but it's also a lot more work. I just upload the same designs.
I'm using Google Translate. Sorry. Is there a fee to become an Amazon member? Do you have a video on becoming a member and creating a listing? And can we receive payment from Amazon via bank account or Payoneer?
It's Free to be on Amazon but they need to accept you. You can apply here...merch.amazon.com/landing and yes they can pay your through your bank account
I have an Amazon Merch account, T10, I have 10 sales, and from what I know, this qualifies me to move up to T25. What is the procedure, and how long does it take to change tiers?
Thinking the election played a part in the sales dipping as well. My sales trends looked like yours. A really good September, but then a dip in October. :(
I still haven't figured out what I'm doing wrong. I've listed 400 designs in the last 4 months! I do my niche research, my tag, title, description research. Nothing. I sell for a profit of about €10 a month (which is not even profit, since I pay about €100/month for subscriptions and tools)! Since I can't get into MbA I joined Amazon Seller Central out of desperation. No sales whatsoever, €40/month fees! Watching this video, though, I think I've identified at least one problem with my designs. The design! Yours are far more suited for t-shirts, so I must work on that. You don't seem to niche down, though. Your slogans are all great, witty and funny, but they're almost exclusively top niches. Maybe I should stop listening to too much advice on UA-cam. Another thing will probably be that your shops on those platforms are well established. Your designs will probably get pushed to one of the first 3 pages simply for that reason. 🤷🏽♂️ POD might not be dead, but my shops are! 😢
Before spending on costly subscription and tools, spend it on several pod courses that are done via social media influences and you will get a clear blueprint what to do after that slowely start your journey and you will see a visible results Sometimes for your luck you will get a clean, clear, well explained course via a good mentor but sometimes you won’t get that. That’s why I’m saying to test drive out few courses and you won’t get mislead easily as you have a deep understanding about the subject you doing ✨🤝🏻
You should look into services that don’t require a subscription, like the affinity suit etc. I get the frustration of the low sales, there isn’t any one good answer in my opinion. As no one piece of advice will work for everyone. One thing you could analyse is out of all your sales up to this day are there any trends? Is a particular niche in your store selling more? A particular colour scheme? I’ve also tried multiple niches/text based/not text based, still only a few designs and niches sell. Some top niches don’t seem to work in my shop. I think it’s pretty normal for not all designs to sell. Is there anything your passionate about you can make designs for? As an example do you like knitting? Do you live in Sweden and can make designs that may appeal to the people of Sweden? Etc. Niches you have more understanding about may work better even if it’s a smaller market for that niche. Still, they might not work, the only thing you can do is try.
"Test driving a few courses" would go far beyond my budget, @@صيدرشيد. And let's face it. There's so much free information available that I doubt a course would actually give you much more. Also, the subscriptions I have are the bare necessities. Amazon Seller Central, Kittl, Vectorizer, ChatGPT. Apart from that I stick to the free versions of PODcs, Merch Informer, Everbee, AMZ Suggestion Expander, etc. 🤷🏽♂️
I haven't had enough sales to determine a pattern yet, @@tothemoon3117. Juna usually recommends the same thing but I'm not even getting that far. 🤷🏽♂️ I use free software wherever possible but there still are the bare necessities. Amazon Seller Central, Kittl, Vectorizer, ChatGPT, etc. Without then I'd be completely lost. POD might not be dead, but I think for a new seller it is becoming increasingly difficult to find his way in. I gave myself a year (that is how long my financial reserves will last me) and maybe I'll find out what I'm doing wrong and can turn the ship around but right now I'm in the "valley of despair". 😒
Your designs have become beautiful compared to before, but your return this month is less due to the intensity of competition, and it is not always your fault that you did not create designs for that month. The market has become saturated.
Hi Juna Thank you for your content. I have a question please. For example, if I design a design that contains weapons or blood, for example, and upload it to teepublic, do I have to choose yes for adult content or can I choose no without choosing children’s shirts?
I am Turkish and therefore I do not know the funny or unique funny sayings of countries like the USA. Can I use chatgpt to create text? How can I search by typing? I hope I could explain my problem :D
Again I have to apologise! UA-cam in its unfathomable wisdom seems to have restricted my ability to interact with videos to a "first comment" kind of thing. For months now I have been able to comment at a video but not respond to replies to that comment. I just want you to know that I do appreciate the responses to my first comment and I don't consider myself too good to answer. I simply can't! I'm hoping that by creating a new comment I'll get at least that through. I've reported the issue several times to UA-cam already, but as it's to be expected, considering they have basically no customer service, I never even got a response. Maybe because we as users are not the customer. We are the product. The cow to be milked. 🤷🏽♂️

Amazon does it and sometimes it can take a few weeks
Will you give an update for shirtober 2023?
I can try.... I'll have to look at what sold
dude, Can I upload 1 design on 3 sites? TP, RB, and AMerch ?
Yes you can... That's what I did
Thinking the election played a part in the sales dipping as well. My sales trends looked like yours. A really good September, but then a dip in October. :(
Yeah... it was election year. Good poing

POD is actually dead. It was fun in '20 and '21 . But not anymore. People are broke. And there are too many sellers.

Your content is great and useful. I have a problem that I live in Morocco, so they do not accept us in March, and I need an account.
That's a bummer! I hope you can find a workaround. I'm not really sure what you could do
@DetourShirts Also, readable does not accept Morocco. Unfortunately, we face many problems. I wish you success, my brother.
Your designs have become beautiful compared to before, but your return this month is less due to the intensity of competition, and it is not always your fault that you did not create designs for that month. The market has become saturated.
Thanks for sharing. I'm sure that is partly it too.
Hi Juna

Hmmm it may be safer to choose adult content
You are the best Juna!
Thank you
My Redbubbal or Teepublic Account Waz Suspende duo to ai art?
Oh no... You need to be careful and use it wisely
Hello teacher I have 140 design in teepublic but not sale yet
It's a tough market! That's kind of what happens. Some sell and most don't
I am Turkish and therefore I do not know the funny or unique funny sayings of countries like the USA. Can I use chatgpt to create text? How can I search by typing? I hope I could explain my problem :D
Yes... Ask ChatGPT for funny sayings for t-shirts
I got some evergreen out sold my halloween design that rarely sold, Why's that? RBB Also horrible and waste of time.
Thanks for sharing

Thank you for leaving your comment. I hope UA-cam can make it better
What do you make on UA-cam with these videos?
Just these videos or all my videos?
@@DetourShirtsof all your videos. Do you have some collaboration with sponsors,or you earn only with youtube commercials?
