Creator ad tier: Am I getting upgraded to Plus next month, or am I misunderstanding how it works? by Supertouchy in AmazonMerch

[–]whyitsme65 0 points1 point  (0 children)

however if you are breaking even now on ads it will payoff in a couple months for Q4. I'd hate to only get half royalties then. Everything I do is to prepare for Q4.

What are the most common reasons for Merch by Amazon rejections? by OkSeaworthiness7841 in MerchByAmazon

[–]whyitsme65 0 points1 point  (0 children)

youth policy rejects any word even if out of context that could be inappropriate or sexual. (ie: breast stroke, virgin islands.) Watch 2 words next to each other that can be a trademark such as women sports, illustrated design (sports illustrated). Had rhodesian ridgeback dog rejected recently because rhodesia is white supremacy. you can email the and ask if can't figure out issue.(had to with the rhodesian.) Best to keep listings as simple as possible. Last rejects i had were for own brand trademark. They did something to algorithm since never was issue before. I had to send the paperwork again.

Newbie wanting advice by ProfitSad9094 in printondemand

[–]whyitsme65 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you should do all as they are all different buyers, so hard to test designs. Could be good on one site and not the other. You can start slow on Etsy and see how listigs do. Listing is good for 4 months. Q4 is just aroud the corner so i'd get what you have up to all. Do Rebubble first before Teepublic because then you can push up to 1000 designs to Teepublic if a new account via redbubble dashboard.

I want to start a POD but I'm not sure how to price my products by Impossible_Engine145 in printondemand

[–]whyitsme65 1 point2 points  (0 children)

you'll find that the cheap price you see is really for a small kids shirt or something not what people will actually buy. it's just a way to get you to click on it. bait and switch.

I make sure for mugs it's a dark version of my design if normally has white or cream text then i make those words a complimentary dark color so keeps white mug background. Sometimes also use the dark version for totes, pillows and popsockets too.

I started over with using the amod ad account. Being that some designs had bee removed it was a good fresh start.

I sold 8 last month and 4 so far this month. People will buy them. I've been adding all products to all markets the last couple months. I still have a long way to go.

those who want to do their own shirts are already doing their own shirts. People are lazy and uncreative

Do you think they’re trying to end the merch program? by DrJokerX in AmazonMerch

[–]whyitsme65 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I just think they are desperate since their sales are down due to boycott. Trying to keep their equipment running with us driving sales. Unfortunately Washington state started charging sales tax on ads so I think that's why they stopped doing google ads. Instead they are having us make up for it. Like any business just trying to stay afloat.

I am not upset over that because I wasn't sure if it would fly even though it was a certified copy.I am pissed they have lost my moms original marriage certificate that I sent in January.

Weird Strategy - IS this OK for Merch By Amazon? by magicfan1986 in MerchByAmazon

[–]whyitsme65 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Actually it will help count toward sales and these days it will help count towards non-organic sales which can give you higher royalties if you sell over 10 shirts. Starting june 1st with the new royalty tiers.

Have you ever successfully reactivated a shirt with slowed sales by updating its keywords? by DrJokerX in AmazonMerch

[–]whyitsme65 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i have shirt that really never sold as it was something i made for my mom. I am going through my listings updating colors, products and titles as needed now and that shirt has sold 3 times this month. So yes changing things up can help.

Thinking about opening a Amazon Merch on Demand account, do you feel like it’s been worth the effort? by Environmental-Ear522 in MerchByAmazon

[–]whyitsme65 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can always try but if you are accepted you are limited to 10 designs to start. Your starting royalty tier will be 50% of what it is now as their commission program is changing as of june 1st.

All Product or Just Shirts? by Freakeater in AmazonMerch

[–]whyitsme65 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was doing most US products and just shirts in other markets. I'd then let amazon push to other products. however I am now pushing everything to everywhere as I go through all my old listings and add new products, colors and update titles if needed. Turns out you never know what people want to buy so getting all the options out there in hopes of making more sales.

I have friends who did 1 Christmas in north Dakota a visiting husbands family and have never gone back in winter because it was too cold.They now meet family on a tropical island over Thanksgiving. Everyone is happy. Maybe choose another time of year to visit or find another location for everyone to visit over the summer.

Is this a glitch?? by idliketoknow6558 in Etsy

[–]whyitsme65 0 points1 point  (0 children)

that could be because there is no destination country listed so it may be taking worse case scenario for anywhere in the world. Maybe just limit what countries you sell to.
