👋 About this channel: My name is Juna. I am a graphic designer and t-shirt designer. I've been selling t-shirts online since 2005. I started selling with Merch by Amazon in 2017. I am currently a tier 100,000 seller on Merch by Amazon. I also sell products on RedBubble, TeePublic, CafePress, Zazzle, Spreadshirt, Threadless, Society 6, Design by Humans and more. My channel is all about helping you design and sell t-shirts online. Let me know how I can help.

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

15:48 I'd be careful with those product selections, it's a quick way to accumulate rejections. Since Amazon reviews every design before publishing, it's much safer to publish a new design on a single product first. If that gets approved, only then add more products. This way, if (when) there's a rejection, you'll only have a single rejection. If there are multiple products selected, every product will count as a rejection. Too many rejections too quickly, and your MBA account goes bye-bye.

This helped. Best detailed listing help for new users I have found!

Thanks for another great video. I would mention to check title, bullets etc. for trademarks, easily accomplished with Productor and I presume Pretty Merch. My one beef with AMD these days is trying to write decent English without finding that a combination of words are trademarked. For example "sunshine &" is trademarked BUT "sunshine and" is not. Go figure!

Would appreciate these 2 quick clarifications:
1) Do you mainly use the auto complete method of finding niches/phrases or you've other main research method for your actual designs?
2) You set $5 royalty on standard t-shirt in all marketplaces. Do you also set $5 royalty on other products too?

Thanks!

Thanks for this video! I'm about to try my hand at Merch by Amazon and hope I get on. BTW that Japanese 285 yen profit is about $1.92US - try 3500 yen.

Great job!
But could you maybe also create a video for advanced tiers and their special needs and problems?
There are very few videos for high tier accounts out there and I believe even people who are just starting MBA might benefit from it.
Take care! 😊

I have merch by Amazon since 2016 upload 10 but never make sales and never log in again, agree this video i think Will try again, my stress is really tags tittle and what kind of designs...

Keep up the great work...

[redamartin]

Thank you, I am a 6k tire, and I do not achieve sales, only 2 to 3 per day. I have mastered the Affinity Designer, but the sales are very few. I currently have 3, 500 designs

[amylouisebrutonl]

That's what I needed to know the title stuff etc, thanks

[thedisciplinedhq]

Can we have an updated/current MBA ad strategy :)

[AdarshaRudrappa]

Thanks for the video Juna, it's been truly helpful. May please know if we have to trademark check only for the title that goes on the t shirt or should the same be done for what goes into the feature bullets and the description as well, as I am a total beginner. Cheers.

[Nita]

Thank you so much for your ideas are greatly appreciated.

Hi 👋 thanks for making such great educational content so consistently! I used to make good money on Merch by Amazon but I stopped uploading new stuff because one of my Etsy shops (where I make the products myself) took off and I didn’t have time. Now it seems like on Merch, you need to advertise to get sales. Is this true? Please be honest if there’s any chance to get back to Merch and actually make significant sales without spending on Ads. I know how to make good designs and use keywords etc, I do it successfully every day on Etsy. I have a baby now and I can’t afford to mess with Amazon Ads at the moment. I appreciate any feedback and I trust your word. Thank you!

Great video. I have just applied for a Merch on Demand account so fingers crossed i can try this out.

Thank You! I was just approved today! Your video has been a big help!!

Hi Juna, this is a little off topic, but can I make a suggestion for a future video (or maybe even a series of videos)... I'm curious as to your social media marketing approach. Firstly, may I ask if you are "Detour Shirts" across all your stores and social media? The reason why I ask, is other POD gurus sometimes have multiple stores across multiple platforms, with different branding concepts to their different stores, along with different social media strategies for such. I've noticed that the POD platforms that you have the most success in, are mostly the ones that have good traffic and SEO by default (ie. Amazon, Redbubble, Teepublic). But what if you had to start over without your Youtube influencer status at play, and if you were not a designer by trade, and you had to aggressively drive traffic to your low to medium performing platforms (Spring, Threadless. Zazzle etc) or your own Shopify store? How would you approach your social media/POD strategy if you had to start from scratch? For instance, would you maybe focus on party invitations and kids party products on Zazzle so as to capitalize on the platforms popular products and customization features? Would you maybe rebrand that hypothetical store to something like "Detour Party?" Would you start a "Detour Party" Pinterest account and then calibrate it around a Detour Party brand concept? Would you do the same for Twitter, Insta, FB and YT? Would you use all, some, or none of these other social media platforms for a "Detour Party marketing strategy" etc? Also, I wonder if you would maybe start a different type of YT channel if you were not the "learn how to do POD" guy?... maybe like a channel called "Give Pizza Chance" which might be a food vlog where you rate and review different pizza while wearing your own merch Lol. I should add, that I am aware that you do this "side hustle" around your day job, so your approach has to be economical and convenient. But, if you do have any insights on how you might entertain such hypotheticals, and you care to share, that'd be awesome. "Imagine" though... if you ended up becoming the CEO of a corporation called "Give Pizza Chance Inc"... what would Yoko Ono think LOL... Pizza Out, Brother 😁✌
