Thanks Jay for the value ❤ You said that you wait for at least two weeks to see if they make any sales. My question is how possibly you can get those first sales if the niche is not micro and you like to go for big broad niches like cat even if you have a great design and the best SEO? assuming we have nice competitive design, what is your SEO listing strategy?
Good question! I said "a week or two", but looking back, that's more like 5-7 days for more recent stuff.. and only up to 2 weeks if i just can't get to it in time, but the average is about 6 days. Since the keywording will be very similar because there's only the title and brand at our disposal, I rely heavily on the design. I just had 2 birthday shirts that i listed a week ago sell (one yesterday and one this morning), and i will be running ads on them for sure. Also, if it's a design that i have no doubt will sell, then i might run ads on it whenever it goes live (my stuff has been taking 2-3 days to get approved lately, so sometimes i forget about them since i only upload a couple maybe once a week at most). Hope this helps! Thanks so much for the kind words!!
@@jayswayworks yeah I’m with you when a design is great it will definitely convert when the amzn algorithm give it a chance. I took a look at your tacocat design (sorry 😅) to see what is your listing keywords formula and i find it simple not overloaded with keywords.. That really makes me wonder what could be your keywords picking strategy.. looked on youtube to see if you already made a video about listing but unfortunately found nothing :/ do you create listing based o keywords backed with some tool data like ggle keyword planner or helium 10 or you just scan the first page of your niche to see whats working.. Any hints could help. Thanks ♥️
Awesome content as usual, Jay! Thanks for a look inside a real designer’s mind! 👍🏽 MY “designer mind” is more like a wind up monkey with cymbals 🙈 I also didn’t know Bob was my uncle, so thank you for telling me! 😅
It is possible to show a Kittl mockup, which will be printed in Printify and models of tshirts or tote bags…. doesn't are the same, that is, won't they look like they really look on the client? This is a doubt that constantly assails me about the models and the final product.
Yes, you can use a Kittl mockup to show what will be printed in Printify. You control the size and placement, so you can adjust in Kittl using Printify's printer's size specifications. Stop doubting and start designing. You've got this!
Re-watched this. When you use smart mocks in kittle, do you worry /concern yourself with the exact shirt model is wearing (ex Bella vs gildan)? I know Etsy is cracking down on mocks that doesn't represent the actual product. Curious to hear how critical that REALLY is.....
Good question! I won’t be too concerned until there are thousands of people using them. Plus, the lifestyle ones (the ones with people wearing them), don’t really make it easy to tell what brand of shirt it is. What I would definitely not do is use a mockup that appeared to be fitted for a gildan, or a really baggy one for a bella if that means sense. Nothing i do misleads the customer.
Good Question! NEITHER ;) 1 Merch account, but they allow you to put in whatever you want for the "Brand", so you can literally create a new "brand" for every design you put up. Some people do this because they think it stops copycats.. but all it really does is stop customers from potentially buying more from YOU. I have a few different main "brands" that are based on my niches, and then a few more that are more obscure to test out.
Hey! Good question! Not inherently, no. Earthquakes happen all the time where there is no tragedy. In hindsight though, I should definitely have waited to make sure nobody got hurt (or worse) before uploading, but I got excited.
I have it linked through my Ads account, but the different branches of Amazon don't talk to each other. I get rejections for my own trademark ALLLL THE TIME even though i'm "Brand Registered". Thanks for watching!
I don't know. I wish i did. How many of your designs have sold? How often are you getting sales? 10 sales doesn't mean that you'll get more sales with more slots. 30 sales in Tier 10 says you probably WOULD get more sales with more slots. I'd stop waiting and delete your oldest 2-3 designs that haven sold and make new ones for Father's Day. Then blast them on social media. Ask for feedback on 10 design ideas and then make 2-3 banger designs that will sell.
@jaywayworks when you said you re-edited the tacocat shirt, do you mean you created another similar design for tacocat to double down on this type of design/niche?
Sorry - no! I re-edited that part of the video to include the fact that i sold 3 already (because i said "hopefully it'll sell")... I will definitely be using the same layout with different tacocat images though! Hope this makes sense!
Amazon always seems to give new listings a chance, so i usually give it a few days and then run ads to it. Ads will always help, but they're not *always* necessary. Thanks so much for watching!
I don't do cityscapes but have some music/guitar shirts for popular music cities that seem to do OK. They sell well on Amazon but haven't caught on on Etsy yet.
Great question! Yes, established shops do have an edge due to their credibility and customer base... But new listings get a "honeymoon phase" where Etsy bumps them in the algorithm to see where they will fit the best.. Targeting big POD niches as a newbie has its perks too: Volume: Larger audience means more potential eyeballs on your stuff. Learning Curve: Diving into competitive niches forces you to level up your game. You'll learn quickly what works and what doesn’t, which is invaluable.. especially as a newbie. SEO & Trends: Good SEO and staying on top of trends can increase your visibility. It's work, but it'll help. Brand Building: Establishing a brand in a popular niche can help you stand out as you grow. It’s a challenging but a rewarding way to do it... Success takes time, so focus on continuous improvement and adapting to what the market demands. Hope this makes sense!! Thanks so much for watching :)

This is amazing video. Thank you Jay. Please make more of these kind please.
Will do! Thanks so much for watching!

@@AbdelaliSd use the Amazon search bar and stop overthinking it ; )
@@jayswayworks ok sir 🤩 thanksss
Loved this! Thanks Jay!

How funny I just did a New York design right before watching this.
Nice! Hope it sells!!

Sweet breakdown! Do you have any tutorials on making effective Etsy thumbnails?
Not yet.. but I will!
Do you put all your designs in one shop or do you have multiple Amazon merch accounts for different niches?
Good Question! NEITHER ;) 1 Merch account, but they allow you to put in whatever you want for the "Brand", so you can literally create a new "brand" for every design you put up.

Thanks Jay for this video, isn't earthquake under tragedy?
Hey! Good question! Not inherently, no. Earthquakes happen all the time where there is no tragedy. In hindsight though, I should definitely have waited to make sure nobody got hurt (or worse) before uploading, but I got excited.
hi bro , first thank you, i have registrede brand on amazon brand registery, i can create merch by amazon acc and link it with my brand ?
I have it linked through my Ads account, but the different branches of Amazon don't talk to each other. I get rejections for my own trademark ALLLL THE TIME even though i'm "Brand Registered". Thanks for watching!
Why is Amazon taking so long to tier up 😡 I just want to start creating and uploading but still stuck in tier 10 even after 10 sales.
I don't know. I wish i did. How many of your designs have sold? How often are you getting sales?
10 sales doesn't mean that you'll get more sales with more slots. 30 sales in Tier 10 says you probably WOULD get more sales with more slots.

Hi for me 15 sales and still in tier 10!!
@@jayswayworks great feedback thanks you. I will do that.

That is amazing. Did it sell on Amazon or Etsy. I feel like some designs just don’t work on Etsy and wish I could get on Amazon.
@@colleencourt6203 Amazon - i didn't list it on Etsy yet.. not enough time in the day haha!
Great video as always! Question: big niches have a lot of competition. How do you get your tacocat design to be seen on Amazon? I assume you run ads?
Amazon always seems to give new listings a chance, so i usually give it a few days and then run ads to it. Ads will always help, but they're not *always* necessary. Thanks so much for watching!
I don't do cityscapes but have some music/guitar shirts for popular music cities that seem to do OK. They sell well on Amazon but haven't caught on on Etsy yet.
For Etsy, maybe try to gear the design to the style of music? Etsy can be a tougher nut to crack for sure! Thanks as always for watching man!!
How about your title? tags?
What about them?
But new listings and designs, from an established shop, have an advantage. How do newbies benefit with these strategies?
Great question! Yes, established shops do have an edge due to their credibility and customer base... But new listings get a "honeymoon phase" where Etsy bumps them in the algorithm to see where they will fit the best..
Targeting big POD niches as a newbie has its perks too:
Volume: Larger audience means more potential eyeballs on your stuff.
Learning Curve: Diving into competitive niches forces you to level up your game. You'll learn quickly what works and what doesn’t, which is invaluable.. especially as a newbie.
SEO & Trends: Good SEO and staying on top of trends can increase your visibility. It's work, but it'll help.
