Amazon Merch | a journey to start off...

[ducktown]

Hey Guys!

I just got acccepted by amazon merch after about 3 Months...never thought it will get that fast for what i've read in the forum!

I want to start this journey because i really, really need to get stuff going to earn about 2000$/Month extra to my normal job to help my parents out for paying insurance and rent etc (i know thats a lot, but insurance costs are already about 1200/Month..) ... and i thought maybe one piece of the "puzzle" could be amazon merch.

One thing i wanted to ask is how do you promote f.e. a shirt design?
Do you just put it out on merch or are you adding facebook ads/Pinterest/Instagram too?
Is there anything to know about keywording?

My plan is to aim my designs at big events and trends/hypes in 2018...

my skillset:
Design
webdesign
Photography
Film editing

staring today with my research, 0 Designs done yet.
so for this month i got 300 yet for a job i've done yesterday...so 1700 to go...won't be possible this month..

thanks for reading and if you have something, some information, a link, anything to help me out that would be awesome.

Designs: 0
Amazon Merch: 0 $
Other Jobs: 300 $

cheers,
Jamal

Good luck, i gave up on Merch. Getting out of Tier 10 is a ball-ache these days with everybody and their cats selling T shirts on Amazon.

Good luck bro I am trying Merch By Amazon. Also use Amazon ads

Good luck man, Ive yet to start mine but from what Ive gathered looking out for trends and designing for them is important. Bitcoin/Trump etc (though saturated now im sure) Especially if you're not looking to spend money advertising. I have insta accounts on bot atm, I think i'll add merch link to one thats relevant and try advertise through there.

you need a brand idea behind you and really deep understandings on promotion of a brand .

the problam is design , i been into tshirts on a stall since 15 and we pay 400 just for each design to be copywrite to us with our brand .

yeah really quick! very lucky ) I've shown them a proper running website of another project of mine that was for sure a big +

do you mean i should focus on one niche than multiple? and build up a brand around this niche?

400 sounds a lot to me! where are you from? I'm from Germany actually.

i am aware that the designs are essential tho... i'm not the best designer yet but i will improve hopefully..and once i have a clue how to get this running i also could ask some designers i know to do a partnership.

hello mate i am from uk .

the designs must be of your own or csn lead to legal issues .

but i heard there logo and design packs you can buy to put on anythink as long as you paid for them .

i havent looked into it all yet .

^^ brand designing somethink copywrite to you and added to every product you make , example like nike, addidas , ect ect just identifies it your work from you .

then promote it and show yoyr items off hopefully get sales.
