Simple and on - Point guide ! Can you make one for the invitation only approval process too ? I would like to know in detail how to get approved by MBA

I have never done it, to be honest. But I guess you just fill in those details and talk about your previous experience with designing?

Great share. One of my first IM ventures was Kindle publishing and I actually have one book that made me $500 last month so Amazon is definitely a great place to start.

Few q's if you don't mind:

1) So I assume you hire a FT designer because this is a volume game in the sense that 75% of your shirts wont sell and maybe only 25% will and therefore be responsible for the bulk of your income? That was partly why I never decided to go deep with Kindle, I just got lucky with my first book.

How many of your shirts would you say you have to upload before you achieve a successful one? Be good to know this.

2) So as far as expenses go (excluding that keyword tool), it's really just $5 per t shirt?

3) Does your account need to follow a certain theme or can your shirts be based on a variety of topics?

Thanks in advance and once again, great share.

1. Yeah, 50% of them never sell. 50% sells, and once they have sold once they for sure sell again. Some become hits and make up for those 50% I lose. It's all about quantity (my designs aren't shit but I am mass-producing them).

2. Yep, $5,5 due to him writing brand, title, and bullets too. I also got a team uploading my shirts now, but they are not necessary to include in the overall expense (it is like $300/mo).

3. You can go wild! 1 account 1 billion niches/topics!

Good luck!

Another awesome share @hekke , are you sure you're still so young?

smaulpaul · Mar 22, 2018

Great share! One point though: don't you have to be careful about saying "for a more loose fit please order a size up" ?? I read that Amazon would crack down on them phrases now.

Thanks man! Haha, yeah been a few years now on this forum - I've been stuck at the same age for a long, long time.

That's a good point, I'd not recommend anyone using it right now - will try to get the thread updated!

I love hearing stuff like this! Makes me want to write more and more of these.

Any suggestions on what I should write about next (related to Merch)? Post them below!

Great Guide, OP!
I myself am very interested on this business. Does anybody have been successful opening a Merch By Amazon account after been suspended as a Regular seller on Amazon?

AmberJones · Mar 24, 2018

what countries are allowed to sell on amazon? I think its just U.S, Canada and UK am I right? pretty unfair though haha

Heiko · Mar 24, 2018

I applied in Germany and got approved 5 days after application!

Can't wait to start this! Thanks hekke!

Ozzyzig · Mar 24, 2018

Thanks for the guide. I got the approval email through this morning and already uploaded one image.

you mean you can sell in amazon even you are not american , candian and UK citizen? How about african latin american or asian and rest of europe? I read a thread once where you cant do this if youre not from one of these 3 countries

Minnehaha · Mar 26, 2018

Does it make sense to rank a site #1 for unicorn t shirt etc then direct traffic to your Amazon merch t shirt page?

Vegeta · Mar 26, 2018

Is it worth buying an approved merch account if you can't get approved or have been waiting forever?

I assume you'll be fine. I have no experience in that though.

All countries as far as I know. You only sell the products in the US though (for now).

I am pretty sure you can apply no matter what. I know people from all over the world being connected to the Merch by Amazon platform!

Minnehaha said:

Hm, redirecting would lead to your site after a while being removed from the index. However, if you create an e-com and include your products there you can make even more sales by promoting it. I have yet to test something like that out though.

Vegeta said:

Right now I don't think so, I see people being approved left to right at the moment and there doesn't seem to be as long of a waiting time anymore (previously it was 6 months+ average), now I think if you got a good experience with designing you can get approved in a few days.

Thanks for all the feedback! Please let me know if you want any other guides on Merch by Amazon!

I am now approved but my problem is when i'm going to add bank my country is not there. Do you have any idea how will i do this? thanks

soulow · Mar 30, 2018

Thank you for your sharing! I just filled all the forms for the taxes and for the invite. Hope I can get it and start soon.
Good luck in your future!

As previously said by juniorfast1, use Payoneer to receive the money and then transfer it from there.
