MERCH BY AMAZON WHAT I'VE LEARNED AFTER SELLING OVER 1000 SHIRTS - $5563 LATER 1. Progress is fucking slow. It seems pointless at first. Try not to compare yourself to others. When I started I coudn't sell 5 shirts in a week, now I make $200-300 a week in Royalties. 2. Be smart with your time. The more you tier up the more designs you're going to need. If you can batch upload shirts and change one word in a design it's much easier. Instead of making 10 different designs make 1 design that you can turn into 10 different shirts. 3. Make what you know. Your unique perspective is going to lead you down some rabbit holes that few people will get to. Some of my most successful shirts have to do with MY hobbies. I know the lingo, the design preferences, and the target market. 4. Invest in your business. Hiring designers. Buying fonts. Buying graphic bundles. Buying premade designs. As long as you make smart investments, you will be fine. You're not going to miss $10-20 or even $100 that you used to get your Merch business off the ground. 5 of my top 10 sellers this week were outsourced designs. 5. Be careful when it comes to following the crowd. Watch out for always and never statements. This business is evolving daily. Facebook groups can provide useful info, but be careful to take everything with a grain of salt. I have no problem telling you guys that most of the time I'm just talking out of my ass, but not everybody will do that. There's a lot of people trying to profit off selling "Vital Merch Information." You don't need a tutorial or a guru to make a fucking shirt. 6. Look forward. Think ahead. This applies to everything in life, but consider how Merch will keep changing as more people enter the market and learn about it. You are already at an advantage if you're in the program now. Study and learn! Apologies for the audio lag, but all the info is still there!
