@podninja what are your thoughts on the Merch Informer tool? Do you recommend it?

I uploaded about 10 t-shirts in early September, fast forward sometime this month they tiered me up to 100. Only one of my t-shirt designs sold 30-40+ times which was enough to get there, mostly in Q4.

Do you btw offer to manage MBA accounts?

Now I'm wondering, what tools do I use to find the best keywords for my designs on Merch By Amazon? It would help if you share how you go about finding the keywords

Thank you in advance.

I know this question was asked more than a few million times but:

How can I avoid Redbubble ban?

I have created 3 accounts so far, all banned without any clear explanation

#1 Account was banned just 1 day after creation, maybe because I'm not from an English-speaking country (I'm from Vietnam)

#2 Account was banned after I submited my 20th or 21st design (they're all text design), this account was created using US VPS, I made my first sale too

#3 Account was banned after I submited my 2nd design, this was created using US VPS, too (different IPs)

So at this time I don't know what to do, Redbubble is too confusing.

Any help or advice would be appreciated

Merch Informer works. Really sorry for the delay.... But try groupbuy and once you are profitable... Purchase directly.

If this thread inspires at least one newbie who is looking for methods and takes action. I would think my time spent on this thread is well justified. I know the pain of a newbie...In 2012, I have gone from thread to thread, blog to blog, course to course to find one good method. Earning that $1 will give you a lot of confidence. The morale of the thread is... Making money is very easy if you take action. Why would I hide the traffic part if it really requires? No one is competing with me here...This is not my main income source.

You can buy some design bundles or editable bulk designs to begin with. You might get it for cheap.


Yeah, it's $89/month to access all of their designs.

The method is very old and noob friendly. I am posting now to prove that this method still works.


Let me post this method in Q&A format.

1. What is this method about?
A. Finding a POD website and upload designs on those websites. Once they make a sale... You earn a commission every sale.

2. What is the process involved uploading designs.
A. You should upload a design and select a product from list of products they can fulfill. Once the design is uploaded...They will create a mockup and list it on their website.

3. What are the best websites to start with?
A. Here are the list of websites you can upload:
a) https://merch.amazon.com/
b) https://www.redbubble.com/
c) https://www.zazzle.com/
d) https://www.cafepress.com/
e) https://www.spreadshirt.com/
f) https://teespring.com/
g) https://www.sunfrog.com/
h) https://www.teepublic.com/
i) https://www.designbyhumans.com/
j) https://fineartamerica.com/
k) https://society6.com/
l) https://teefury.com/
m) https://www.threadless.com/

4. Do I need to be a designer to make money on those websites?
A. It's like asking "Do I need to be a Model?" to make money on OnlyFans or Adult websites. If you are a designer, You can make money without incurring any expenses. Others have to hire a designer... Better to learn photoshop for making small edits on Original design.

5. Where to start?
A. Find a funny quotes, do some research on Teespring, Amazon and search youtube like this "https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=how+to+research+t-shirt+design+ideas+". Hire a designer and get your design. Start uploading and repeat.

6. How to scale this shit?
A. Let's say you are getting sales for this design: "Of course I am Awesome, I am a Teacher". Get the PSD from the designer and edit yourself to save money or ask him for a bulk price. scale it with different professions, names etc. Sky is the limit.

7. Best advice you can give us?
A. Don't really abuse the platform. Don't upload cheap quality designs. They will suspend your account and all your hard-work would go in vain.

8. How to get the traffic?
A. Frankly speaking, We have done nothing in the beginning. But we use to stuff good keywords/tags while uploading the design. Later stage, we have tried Pinterest, Wanelo to pin the URLS. That boosted our sales for sure. I am noob in SEO... Use your own SEO skills to get the traffic.

9. Do you have any proofs that method is still working?

These are just few accounts of us.

10. Can we automate this?
A. There are tools but I never used. You can build imacros to automate uploading. But I don't suggest... Just get a VA if you are busy.

11. I am a creative and hardcore designer... Do I have any place to sell my designs & make more money?
A. Yes. Here you go:
1. https://www.creativefabrica.com/
2. https://creativemarket.com/
3. https://www.etsy.com/

12. So what now?
A. If you are still searching for methods. Stop here and start working.
