Advanced: Make and Sell Custom Shirts Using Merch by Amazon

In this video, we upload the artwork and create a brand new shirt listing on Amazon using Merch by Amazon to show just how easy it is to create product pages. The finer details of this process are broken down in later videos.

In this video, we walk through the basic account settings that need to be configured prior to uploading shirt designs. These settings include your business info, your banking info (to receive royalty payments), and your tax information.

In this video, we take a detailed look at the Merch by Amazon dashboard. The features here include Creating, Promoting, Managing, and Analyzing your items.

Merch by Amazon provides some amazing resources for their users. In this video, we walk through each section and outline the information in each.

These are the Best Practices directly from Amazon. Direct link also provided to stay up to date on any possible changes.

In this video, we do a more detailed walkthrough of the Merch by Amazon upload, design, and product page creation process. We talk about each setting and give examples of when you should use different options.

I ordered several shirts with the full 4500 x 5400, 300 dpi images used and they are a bit big. This is a 15" x 18" images on a shirt. Amazon's own Best Practices state:

Artwork sizing and placement

• While you can certainly use the entire 15" x 18" in space, often customers find a print that is 18 inches to be overwhelming. By and large we find that keeping your maximum dimension to 12 inches or less results in higher conversion rates.
  
  
  I will be making many of my shirts with 12" x 12" images moving forward, and this video will show you a few tricks to making sure that they stay centered on the 15" x 18" required template size.
  

In this video, see exactly why anyone who uses Merch by Amazon has an unfair advantage when listing on Amazon. We talk about the benefits of being eligible for Amazon Prime and how Merch by Amazon shirts can quickly be the #1 result for searches on Amazon.

In this video, we introduce the tools of domain forwarding and domain masking and give examples of when each method would work.

In this video, we do a real example showing the GoDaddy settings needed to forward a domain to an Amazon search result page for multiple Merch by Amazon products.

In this video, we set up an Amazon Associates account and an Amazon aStore that allows us to pick and choose specific Amazon items (ASINs) to categorize and organize.

In this video, we change the GoDaddy domain setting to enable both domain forwarding and domain masking in order to give our new Amazon aStore a more convenient domain name.

This is a short video showing you how to add a website to a shirt design. Also think about doing this only if you have a reason to. Don't do it 'just because'.
