▬▬ ABOUT MY CHANNEL ▬▬

👋 My name is Ryan & at age 30 I quit my day job. I used to work full time as a Sr. Front End Web Developer (I quit this job), & part-time as an adjunct professor teaching web development at a local university (I kept this job — I like teaching!). Both of my day jobs were awesome! But that couldn't change the fact that I'm completely addicted to the idea of building passive income streams that will allow me to retire from ever working a 9 to 5 job again.

The information shared on my YouTube channel & resources made available is for educational, informational purposes.

I got lucky i applied once got accepted on my first time applying

[TwinkleTVi]

I applied 62 days back. Hardly added any details where they ask about our goals.

I got accepted today. I think it was because i included a blog I have which gets decent number of users.

[melissadull]

You have a great voice for media! Definitely would do amazing in radio or sportscasting

[GotMuzak]

Great video, Ryan! Awaiting my application status. Question for ya, in this video you suggested only running the Standard T-Shirt if listing your first product. Why wouldn't you suggest selecting all of the product types to increase the likelihood of making sales?

[motivationforsuccesshub]

A couple of months ago i was accepted in 24 hours...i couldn't believe it 🥳🥳

[rabidhope]

I was wondering about returns thanks for answering that!

[kellyfish]

Just signed up! Thanks so much for the video!! 😊

[TheFilipinoFoodies]

Thank you for sharing a very informative video. I have 1 question Ryan does amazon Merch does the printing too? Or do we need 3rd party POD like printfy?

[jonhylow]

Can you make an amazon brand tutorial video ? Also what is the difference between uploading with and without a brand ?

[frozenflipflops]

Thanks Ryan for such helpful free content!

[Thorzon]

Would you recommend creating a new Amazon account to use with merch, or is it OK to user your existing personal Amazon account?

[ccdoesskin]

Thanks for the info! Waiting for approval!

[janellefrancis]

I got in by adding a link to my website with t-shirt designs

[artemorbid]

Thanks for the amazing info, you are awesome!

The information for the taxes helped me a lot as a international user thank you Ryan. So you pay in USA too but for the foreign people Amazon pay the taxes to the government without we having to do something about that? Is that 100% true Ryan. And thank you for the informative video:)

[anastafish]

Thanks for video. Should i rely on amazon results number when i search for niche? How accurate are they? I tried Merch informer to search for niche and i got big gap in results.

[trinajames]

canva is 11.99 /mo. That's what I use, for now, still looking around for better graphics

[ismailhunaid]

hello Sir, what do you recommend for a new beginner to start POD business ?
1) start from our own website
2) POD from marketplaces like merch and etsy and redbubble ETC,
3) I am from pakistan
4) can i purchase ready made merch account ?

[scottrogers]

I got in on my third time just this past week. The first two times I just filled out the form. The last time I did use some tips I heard online and either I just got lucky or those tips helped. Anyway I've uploaded a few designs and they are under review. Not sure how long that normally takes. Hope it works for me.

Someone please correct me if I'm wrong but...

If Amazon is holding 30% of an international seller's s profit are they sending it to the country we live and pay taxes in? If not then... how is it helpful... or even right? We STILL have to pay taxes on money earned from abroad, including that 30% that we don't have. Amazon withholding it doesn't seem to be helpful or for tax purposes. It sounds like they are taking a cut of international seller's profits.
