Amazon Merch Journey - from 0$ to 500$/month

1. Already working on a list with the Amazon Merch like sites
2. Actually finding the niche I wanna go (got an idea, but is kind of used)
3. Create and develop the social media accounts for further boost in sales
4. Create more designs

Hello,

About 3 weeks ago I found out about Amazon Merch, and even if I already knew (and said I'm going to try) a few other services like this, Amazon managed to give me the boost to actually start doing stuff.

I've got an Amazon Merch account (took me less than 7 days to get it) and I uploaded 1 t-shirt for now and doing the research for the next 5 at least.

I'm a graphic designer with experience so for the start is going to be easy with the design part.

What I've done quite a lot of research and found some interesting stuff about Merch but I still got to work on it.

Next steps:

1. Already working on a list with the Amazon Merch like sites
2. Actually finding the niche I wanna go (got an idea, but is kind of used)
3. Create and develop the social media accounts for further boost in sales
4. Create more designs

I am looking forward to get a stable 500$/month by the end of December 2018, but trying to get the most in the next 2 months (because I'm also working at a Self Development House Project which is really cool and helps me (and the people I'm living with) through challenges and make my life better).

Every advice is appreciated. Thank you.

I am just intrigued that how did you get a merch about in 7 days? People here waited for 7-9 months to get into one.

I'm almost positive I registered 10 months ago and haven't heard anything. I'm started to doubt that my registration actually went through. I never received an email conformation saying I was placed in queue or anything.

You really want to get from Tier 10 to 100 asap.

The quickest way is to use some form of promotion - either find a niche and target a chat forum/Facebook Group or go down the route of paid advertising (Amazon PPC). Another option is to contact companies and ask them if they want a t-shirt designed etc.

Make sure you use TESS. So many people end up losing their accounts by not checking trademarks. It takes 5 mins, it saves your account.

Don't focus on making decent money until you are in Tier 500.

MerchInformer is a great tool - I would highly recommend it once you're in Tier 100.

Even I got my merch acc after 6 months even if I got 200,000+ followers on social media which I submitted as proofs.
How were you able to achieve it?

Also, I'm getting into merch too. I am done with my designs and will be getting them listed this week. Is there anything you would like to warn newbies at merch?
