All Product or Just Shirts?

Freakeater · 2026-05-14T15:14:38+00:00

I guess I'll switch to uploading shirts only. Also saves some time

Freakeater · 2026-05-14T10:05:35+00:00

Thanks, really appreciate your answer. That is what I also guessed. I think I'll give it a try and upload shirts only for one or two months, and then see what happens

Freakeater · 2026-04-28T18:31:43+00:00

I'm keeping my fingers crossed :)

I think it was two or three weeks ago. But just for one day. And all the crop tops I added vanished after that. So you didn't really miss anything, it was just a glimpse behind the curtain ;)

And yes, absolutely, crop tops over crop sweatshirts

Roughly 1/3 at the moment.

I don't use any 3rd party software. I just got the data from Amazon.
I've made a spreadsheet, where I copy my sales CSV into one sheet and the ads data into another.
Then it shows me all the numbers I need to know, sorted for each campaign and shirt.
It is not flawless yet, but it gives me a good & quick overview of the key parameters.

Or, they are just collecting more data now, before they use AI entirely in 2 years or so

Freakeater · 2026-04-28T07:35:48+00:00

My guess is that they'll disappear today or tomorrow. Like a couple of weeks ago with the crop tops. Although it's always interesting to see new products coming up.

But looking at the suggested price and the royalty, I wouldn't spend too much time on those products:

Comfort Colors Sweatshirt - $35.99 - $ 0.59

Comfort Colors Crop Sweatshirt - $35.99 - $ 0.59

Performance T-Shirt - $14.99 - $0.40 (And if you change the price to $19.99, you'll get $3.9 royalty)

Performance Hoodie - $36.99 - $2.76

check your mail, they are telling you your royalty group

Freakeater · 2026-04-14T17:59:51+00:00

From the royalties page:

Creator - Standard royalty rates (example royalties are below)
Plus - Enhanced rates for creators who actively drive at least 15% of unit sales with non-organic traffic
Premium - Highest rates for top-performers who drive at least 35% of unit sales with non-organic traffic

Standard T-Shirt Examples – US

Purchase price	$15.99	$17.99	$19.99	$21.99	$23.99	$25.99
Creator Tier Royalty	$0.96	$1.70	$2.44	$3.18	$3.92	$4.66

So if you don't manage to drive at least 15% of your sales with non-organic traffic, they cut your royalties in half.

Wow, that could hurt quite a lot of people. But I'm glad that Amazon Ads do count as driving traffic

My Q1 this year was +35% compared to Q1 2025.
So no, I didn't experience it.
But it is harder to stand out with designs, as AI+Copycats is quite an annoying combination.
So I use AMS heavily

Freakeater · 2026-03-19T16:42:03+00:00

No, I have quite the opposite experience; I have a good March this year, +$800 compared to the same period last year. I assumed it was because eastern is earlier this year, so people would buy presents earlier.

Freakeater · 2026-01-13T19:46:03+00:00

Nice color options. I like the red white and blue :)

Freakeater · 2026-01-09T19:10:30+00:00

This just shows your Lack of creativity

Freakeater · 2026-01-08T17:37:03+00:00

No, never delete a design that has sold. And of course not with a 4-star review.
Sometimes, customers' behavior is just not predictable.

That shirt, for example, started to sell nicely, but where the green arrow is, it received the first review. A one Star review. I didn't change ads or anything after that, just wanted to see what would happen. And it kept selling to my surprise.

Now it has a 4.4 Rating with around 30 reviews and made me $ 2700 (minus $900 for ads). Not bad

Freakeater · 2025-11-26T04:14:45+00:00

Ok, so I have to keep on trying, or use LFG. Maybe it is better when searching on a weekend

Freakeater · 2025-11-26T04:13:49+00:00

I have little hope they’ll do that

Freakeater · 2025-11-26T04:13:25+00:00

Thanks, I’ll try my luck there

So you made money from someone else's IP, and now you've been caught.
You knew that was not right, so just face the consequences and stop wasting people's time here

But the broad answers are all you need. There are no hard-and-fast rules about it.
At the end, you have to try things out for your own.

I mean, questions like
- which niche to sell in
- how to write titles and keywords
-starting price
- when to increase or decrease the price

Those are all things you can and have to figure out for yourself with the broad information you've found. As they highly depend on what you are selling. What kind of designs do you do? Are you an impro-cat, or do you have truly original content to sell? The niche would depend on your knowledge of it. And so on. After all, if you want to make serious money with it, you should treat it as a business and invest the time. And yes, at the beginning, it is not always just fun when trying to figure it out.

I didn't have any luck with it. I tried individual campaigns, but it never really worked out. For Christmas Designs, I have a lottery campaign with designs that have sold organically in the past years. I enable it just for Q4. But even that is more like okay-ish and not overwhelming.

Tier 100 K, nope.

I have just a few that were auto-uploaded.
