👋 About this channel: My name is Juna. I am a graphic designer and t-shirt designer. I've been selling t-shirts online since 2005. I started selling with Merch by Amazon in 2017. I am currently a tier 100,000 seller on Merch by Amazon. I also sell products on RedBubble, TeePublic, CafePress, Zazzle, Spreadshirt, Threadless, Society 6, Design by Humans and more. My channel is all about helping you design and sell t-shirts online. Let me know how I can help.
The information shared on my UA-cam channel & resources made available is for educational, informational purposes. - Навчання та стиль
15:48 I'd be careful with those product selections, it's a quick way to accumulate rejections. Since Amazon reviews every design before publishing, it's much safer to publish a new design on a single product first. If that gets approved, only then add more products. This way, if (when) there's a rejection, you'll only have a single rejection. If there are multiple products selected, every product will count as a rejection. Too many rejections too quickly, and your MBA account goes bye-bye.
You make a good point
This helped. Best detailed listing help for new users I have found!
Oh good... glad it helped
Great job!
But could you maybe also create a video for advanced tiers and their special needs and problems?
There are very few videos for high tier accounts out there and I believe even people who are just starting MBA might benefit from it.
Take care! 😊
Good idea... I could call it High Tier strategies.... what particular things are you thinking of?
Thanks for another great video. I would mention to check title, bullets etc. for trademarks, easily accomplished with Productor and I presume Pretty Merch. My one beef with AMD these days is trying to write decent English without finding that a combination of words are trademarked. For example "sunshine &" is trademarked BUT "sunshine and" is not. Go figure!
Good points... the whole trademark stuff is really dumb right now to... so many people are just trademarking things that have nothing to do with a brand.
That's what I needed to know the title stuff etc, thanks
Good.. so glad I could help
Thanks, Juna. Great content!
Glad you liked it!
Thank you so much for your ideas are greatly appreciated.
You are so welcome!
Super helpful--thank you!!
Glad it was helpful!
Great video. I have just applied for a Merch on Demand account so fingers crossed i can try this out.
Fingers crossed!
Thank you so much, I’ve had my Amazon merch on demand account for over a year and have only just put it to use, thanks to your fantastic tutorial. I was wondering can I do ads or do I have to be in a higher tier group for that? Thanks again ❤
If you have ads you should see it as a tab in your top right... watch this video....ua-cam.com/users/shorts7M-ccmAdAvw?feature=share
Thank you ❤
You are so welsome
Would appreciate these 2 quick clarifications:
1) Do you mainly use the auto complete method of finding niches/phrases or you've other main research method for your actual designs?
2) You set $5 royalty on standard t-shirt in all marketplaces. Do you also set $5 royalty on other products too?
Thanks!
1) I use all kinds of different methods not just the auto complete. I look at BSRs. I look at top selling. I niche down. I also just get inspired and do my own thing that's not there... 2) $5 profit on standard shirts but for less expensive products like phone cases and pop sockets I do a $3-4 royalty for more expensive products like a Hoodie I do a $7 royalty.
Thank you, I am a 6k tire, and I do not achieve sales, only 2 to 3 per day. I have mastered the Affinity Designer, but the sales are very few. I currently have 3,500 designs
You can do it! Keep making designs that people want to buy.... look at the auto complete for examples or try one of the apps
Thanks for the video! Do you always select all the products for the design? Or mostly going only with the T-shirts?
I select all products when it works.... and most of the times it does work but sometimes I only upload patterns to phone cases, pop sockets, totes and pillows because it doesn't work on shirts.
That was great thanks you, so helpful as I am a complete newbie :)
Glad it was helpful!
Excellent video, thanks very much.
Glad you liked it!
Thank you. That's very good video.
Thanks so much
Thank You! I was just approved today! Your video has been a big help!!
Glad it helped!
The best 🎉❤
Thank you
Thanks for this video! I'm about to try my hand at Merch by Amazon and hope I get on. BTW that Japanese 285 yen profit is about $1.92US - try 3500 yen.
That's awesome! Thanks
thanks for everything🙂🙂
My pleasure 😊
As usual, excellent job on how to up my game on Merch. Thank you!
Happy to help!
Good information.thank you, sir.
Welcome
Thanks for the great video.
Glad you liked it!
Thanks for the video Juna, it's been truly helpful. May please know if we have to trademark check only for the title that goes on the t shirt or should the same be done for what goes into the feature bullets and the description as well, as I am a total beginner. Cheers.
Yes. You should trademark check everything, especially for Amazon
Great ! Do you have a keyword research before listing like know how many volume of that keyword?
So some of the apps do (Merch Informer, Pretty Merch, Productor) but you can't just find it on Amazon.... results are probably the closes thing
Thank you! 👌👏❤️After 2 weeks I was accepted, so your video is very helpful. Can I use some of my creation that I published on RB and Zazzle? Thank you a lot! ❤️
Yes you can
thank you
You're welcome
Hi Juna thank you for this great video! I'm in tier 10 I already sold 11 products and waiting for them to moved me on the next tier, my question is ...I have 4 tshirts that I would like to edith (change grafics, key words ect) can I do that or it's risky, what is your opinion...thanks in advance!
Glad it was helpful! The only way to change graphics is to upload a new one... if you delete a design that already has sales you lose that BSR . You basically will start over with a new upload. I would only delete it if you really want to remove the item because something is wrong. If you just want to test a new design I would just upload a different design and see if the new design does well.
Hey, Juna, can you make a video on a recent change with RB going to a tier system and charging fees. What’s your take on tHIS? Is it still worth it? What are the alternatives?
Yes... I'm working on something... so many changes
Thank you!
Can we have an updated/current MBA ad strategy :)
Sure.... I can at least tell you what I do
@@DetourShirts That would be fantastic!
Thank you 👍
You are welcome
You always make good videos 🎉
Wow.... thank you
Greetings friend. As a novice is it better to develop a theme or keep up with the trends? Example of a theme is outdoors but say Holidays are coming. Is it confusing for a customer to go to an “outdoors” graphic designer but find Holiday shirts? Thanks for all the time and videos.
If you sell on Amazon you can do both.... you can create different brands for different topics so you don't have to choose just one.... Unless you really know what one topic to focus on I think it is better to do multiple themes to figure it out....The nice thing about print on demand is it's free to test.
@@DetourShirts Thanks. Very helpful. You are the best!
I have merch by Amazon since 2016 upload 10 but never make sales and never log in again, agree this video i think Will try again, my stress is really tags tittle and what kind of designs...
Keep up the great work...
Thanks... I hope you get some sales
@@DetourShirts yap thanks
Informative video as usual,
do I have to target a certain holiday 2 months before or is it okey to a put a design like one week before ?
If you are targeting a holiday or some kind of trend put it up early... if it's just and evergreen design you don't have to worry about it
@@DetourShirts Thanks Juna
Hi Juna, thank for your great video. Just a question about niche score. Shall we pay attention to that? If yes, can you please explain? Thanks again
I think you are talking about the niche score from Merch Informer. That score can help you determine if a topic or phrase is saturated or not. A score of an A usually is a good indication that there is room for you to get some sales with that topic.
sorry I forgot to mention, it is on Productor...I just been approved on Merch, so trying to narrow down the Niche and came across that Score Niche, which shows as yellow or red, with numbers 10 or 52 etc....Thanks again@@DetourShirts
Hey juna , i just rewatch this video and have a question please : how do you do with all markets , you just do translation by amazon or do you check trademarks for all the markets . I dont uploid in all and im affraid to get bunch of rejection in other markets.
If it's good for US, it's usually good for all markets.... I just select them all and have amazon do the translations.... to be honest it's not a ton of sales but it's something
@@DetourShirts yes ,there are some designs that could work well in all markets
Hi juna, you mentioned that we can make our own phrase, how can that sell? If nobody is looking for that exact phrase? The only way will be via the big niche (sunshine in you example) meaning we will still be competing with 60k results
Make your phrase around a the same major topic... so when someone is looking Sunshine you are competing with 60k yes but yours will be different and stand out
hey man awesome video! i have a question, I have 2 designs that were rejected by Amazon Merch, and I'm not sure why. The phrase I used is for Halloween, but the designs are my own. Can a design still be flagged for copyright infringement even if I only used the phrase? i've seen dozens of that uses same phrase from different stores, so im not really sure if that's the case. thanks!
Yes... absolutely if the phrase is trademarked then it will be rejected automatically
Hi 👋 thanks for making such great educational content so consistently! I used to make good money on Merch by Amazon but I stopped uploading new stuff because one of my Etsy shops (where I make the products myself) took off and I didn’t have time. Now it seems like on Merch, you need to advertise to get sales. Is this true? Please be honest if there’s any chance to get back to Merch and actually make significant sales without spending on Ads. I know how to make good designs and use keywords etc, I do it successfully every day on Etsy. I have a baby now and I can’t afford to mess with Amazon Ads at the moment. I appreciate any feedback and I trust your word. Thank you!
Ads can help but are not necessary.... some of my sales do not have ads attached to them
Thanks Juna for another great video and i was wondering if i targeted summer shirts for women and it is a low number in results would it work that way?
So the results show the competition.... you will still need to create something they (that audience) would want to buy
@@DetourShirts Thanks Juna.
HI!! i wanted to know is thois like other POD sites like Zazzle , teepublic etc !! Means is they charge any fees to make store ! Is we have our products in warehouse orAmazon merch work like that POD site!
Well they don't charge fees but you share in the profit of the sale... so for selling a $20 shirt for example you get about $5 and Amazon keeps the rest... they are doing most of the work
@@DetourShirts can you guide how to make amazon account!
Hi Juna. I recently submitted an application to be a seller on Amazon Merch and it was rejected. I see in the FAQ that we cannot find out why our application is rejected and we cannot resubmit. I'm appalled (and bummed) about the lack of transparency in this process. Any advice? Thanks so much.
It's all luck in my opinion... just keep trying.... they haven't said it but I think they only allow so many people on at once and with so many people trying now the chances of getting on is really low.
Hi, I'm curious about having separate accounts for KDP (Kindle Direct Publishing) and Merch by Amazon. I've got a KDP account already, and when I tried to set up a Merch account with the same email, it didn't work out. Now, I'm thinking of making a new Merch account with a different email and phone number. Can I safely have two separate accounts for KDP and Merch without running into any problems, even with the initial Merch account application being rejected?
Yes you can! KDP is a separate thing
@@DetourShirts and for merch by amazon the first account that i submit application for and it got rejected it won't get me any problem for the the account that i will use later on on merch ?
Excellent! So much helpful information here. The niche research by using auto-complete is a must-know skill for anyone in POD. Thank you, Juna!
Thanks... glad I could help
@@DetourShirts hi I want to design a t-shirt and I want to make money from it how do I prove that the t-shirt is mine . also how do i know if the t-shirt i am designing has been designed before
brother i am a beginner in Amazon Merch on Demand, i'm upload 3 design today and 3 design are rejected, i don't know why. (sorry for poor english). any video suggested for learning details
Well you need to make sure you are not infringing on copyright or trademarks.... what did your designs say or look like?
This seems like a tedious process! Is there a way to bulk upload and bulk keyword?
Not with Amazon itself. You can save some presets so that you don’t have to pick colors or type titles again but that’s it. There may be apps that could help with bulk uploading but I don’t use them
If someone is already a amazon seller does it need to create a new account to the amazon print on demand.?
Yes... they are totally different
I follow your research method long time. But before some a day I follow others video. I see always check the 3rd-page competition. so I follow your research and check the 3rd-page competition. I see competition is very high. I am very confused. I check 3rd page or not. Please give me this solution. I waiting for your answer. Thank you.
Yeah... I would check 3rd page.... sometime Amazon is sneaky that way.... they don't always show the right results.
Hi Juna, this is a little off topic, but can I make a suggestion for a future video (or maybe even a series of videos)... I'm curious as to your social media marketing approach. Firstly, may I ask if you are "Detour Shirts" across all your stores and social media? The reason why I ask, is other POD gurus sometimes have multiple stores across multiple platforms, with different branding concepts to their different stores, along with different social media strategies for such. I've noticed that the POD platforms that you have the most success in, are mostly the ones that have good traffic and SEO by default (ie. Amazon, Redbubble, Teepublic). But what if you had to start over without your UA-cam influencer status at play, and if you were not a designer by trade, and you had to aggressively drive traffic to your low to medium performing platforms (Spring, Threadless. Zazzle etc) or your own Shopify store? How would you approach your social media/POD strategy if you had to start from scratch? For instance, would you maybe focus on party invitations and kids party products on Zazzle so as to capitalize on the platforms popular products and customization features? Would you maybe rebrand that hypothetical store to something like "Detour Party?" Would you start a "Detour Party" Pinterest account and then calibrate it around a Detour Party brand concept? Would you do the same for Twitter, Insta, FB and YT? Would you use all, some, or none of these other social media platforms for a "Detour Party marketing strategy" etc? Also, I wonder if you would maybe start a different type of YT channel if you were not the "learn how to do POD" guy?... maybe like a channel called "Give Pizza Chance" which might be a food vlog where you rate and review different pizza while wearing your own merch Lol. I should add, that I am aware that you do this "side hustle" around your day job, so your approach has to be economical and convenient. But, if you do have any insights on how you might entertain such hypotheticals, and you care to share, that'd be awesome. "Imagine" though... if you ended up becoming the CEO of a corporation called "Give Pizza Chance Inc"... what would Yoko Ono think LOL... Pizza Out, Brother 😁✌
Thanks for the idea.... I've been meaning to do a Instagram tutorial
@@DetourShirts Thanks Juna. I'm looking forward to it. If you are able to, could you also do one for Twitter🙏. I followed every method in your Pinterest tutorial (except for the video mock up, cos I don't have Placeit). It's going good though. so thanks a bunch. I think Pinterest is the perfect companion to POD, as it is essentially a "window shopping" kind of search engine. But I'm still trying to figure which platform to focus on to actually build and nurture a community. Maybe your upcoming Instagram video may have the answer🤞 Well, until your next one, man... peace out
I actually got tired of trying this print on demand, but my question is can I do it from ghana without any restrictions? I did with etsy but I used my husband's details because he lives in the United States after so many months of creating designs and uploading I finally got I sales then I got an email that I'm not in the state so my account has been terminated. So now I. Skeptical about a this site since I'm in africa
That's a great question that I don't know the answer to.... sorry I have no experience with being in Africa or how it would work there... this is a great question for my Facebook group... if you are not a member you can join for free and ask all the questions you have about POD
Hey Juna I've applied for MBA 3 times and it got rejected, could you maybe make a video on how to apply for it properly?
I don't think you are doing anything wrong.... I just think they have a limit on how many people they bring in at a time.
@@DetourShirts ohh alright then so I'll just keep applying until they accept me 😅
There's people who sell accounts
@@yassine4004 And there is people who get those bought accounts terminated
@@aritrasur2682 There is not much anyone can do to help. The application review process is most likely automated, so you just have to be lucky.
Do you feel that coasters and pins are good products to sell on print on demand
No.... unless you have the right audience.... some people do love pins and kind of collect them but most don't.... at least I don't.
@@DetourShirts thanks
Waited video bro.....
Thanks
how do i get into amz merch on demand....evey time i try to apply they kept rejecting me
It's tougher and tougher to get it... sorry
Sadly they didn’t approve us for Amazon Merch. We’ve been selling on Amazon for many years for our scuba shop dive gear too.
Yeah... Amazon Merch on Demand is different.... kind of tough to get in now
My listings aren't searchable. The ASIN nor title. I tried reaching out but I don't really get an answer from Amazon.
So strange
Are you sure you have selected the "searchable" option at the bottom when you upload your design?
@@vythedir4438 I will check
@@vythedir4438 Yes, all are marked searchable.
@@wataki2 It's the only thing I can think of. That during uploading you accidentally turned off the searchable option. If that's not it, it's a bit strange indeed.
I have a problem and Amazon customer service not helping at all , my Design was rejected 3 times already , and the last My description was with only two words "Just relax" and still wasn't right , can anyone help how to do this right ,I made my design in Canva , I used some of the examples but I changed graphic
What's the graphic and title?
@@DetourShirts Thank you for your replay , First title was : "Just relax" funny graphic design cool , Second was Only "Just relax" and still rejected
We want you to focus on the Affinity Designer lessons and the difficult designs challenge
It's coming
First❤
Thanks for the love
sir my Tee Public account sign in always create problem, Token is invalid , sir my new account on Tee public sir how I create email sign in password please help me.
I wish I knew the answer to this..... not sure how the the tokens work... you could contact TeePublic customer support
Sir,
how can I open an account in march or amazon from Bangladesh?
No really sure.... I think you still need to apply... but you can ask this question in my Facebook group.
Are there countries that are not accepted in Amazon Merch?
Not really sure... Amazon hasn't really come out and given a list
Do you advertize your designs on merch?
Not all designs but about 20-30 of them.... I probably should do more
@@DetourShirts Thank you for replying Juna. I appreciate your response and all your helpful videos. God bless.
I once applied but got rejected (no idea why). Never bothered again. 😂
Yeah... most people have to try multiple times
First one bro….
Thank you... you get the trophy 🏆
Just to let everyone know the reason merch informer keyword finder doesn't show certain phrases is because there needs to be a minimum of 100 views through the phrase.
Thanks for the tip
Sir i am living in pakistan i try to aprove my amazon mearch account.. but they not approved please make a video for me
I'm not sure how much I can help with that. I would just make sure to add any links to any of your designs.... that may help a little
Can Nigerians use Amazon mod
I would think so.... I don't know for sure.... Ask it in my Facebook group
i need acount merch bya Amazon pric pro
Sorry... I wish I know how to get on.... it's kinda random
@@DetourShirts Can you explain to us how to apply in Merch by Amazon with an acceptance rate
15:08 How big is your design team and/or outsourcing? Don't tell me you reached tier 100k with more than 10k unique designs single-handedly. Though, depends on the timeframe.
Yup... just me
@@DetourShirts Lord almighty. With 1 design per day non-stop, it'd take almost 30 years 😅10 designs per day would take almost 3, but that's 10 designs per day for 3 years with no weekends ever. How did you manage it?
Well.... I don't do it everyday but somedays I do way more than 10.... and lot of my design can be scaled.... think birthdays, years, family members, etc.... it's easy to do 30 of those really quickly once you get a base design.
@@DetourShirts That's not a bad approach, at least it won't lead to a burnout. I tried doing multiple designs per day for a few weeks. By the end of the 2nd week, I figured it'd be more sustainable to just do more designs irregularly, than a few regularly.
Send me do u need advertize your designe on merch
In the beginning I wouldn't worry about advertising but I use advertising now.
Hey i just wanna know is amazon merch platform worth it or not for making a good sales .
100% worth it and it's FREE
I WANT account 😔
You can apply again
Hi @DetourShirts, wonderful channel and content!! I didn’t get accepted. Do I just keep on trying until I get accepted? Can someone send an invitation to merch by amazon to get in on it?😅
Just keep trying
Hi @@DetourShirts , I went to my amazon account to hit the sign up button again but unfortunately they just display a message saying: We appreciate your interest, but your account request has been declined. We thank you for taking the time to introduce yourself to us and encourage you to check out selling options on Amazon. There's no additional button. So....I have to create another amazon account under a different email to re-apply??? That doesn't feel fair 😐. What now?
redbubble became impossible now just they sent me an update e-mail they'll deduct a monthly fee and they nearly take 50% of your earning that's ridiculous
I know... so crazy.... I wonder how many sellers will leave the platform
