If you have looked into ways to sell t-shirts online, you have likely heard about Merch by Amazon. There have been a ton of stories about people making a killing through the platform. The problem is that Amazon stopped accepting new designers due to demand and scaling challenges.
I submitted my application sometime last winter and just received notification of acceptance. Although it took me almost a year to get in, they might be letting a lot of new people in, so get your app in! https://merch.amazon.com/landing
That's the good news. The bad news is that the royalty payments have been reduced significantly. Just like in the crypto world, if you did not get in early, it is harder to make big money. Still with Amazon's reach and ecommerce dominance it might still pay off well.
Follow me for updates on this journey! I will also share general experiences with my ecommerce efforts. Over the last year I have had some wins and some losses in selling t-shirts and apparel online. Amazon will definitely be a sales channel, along with https://www.sunfrog.com/ and my own sites which are currently in redesign.
Here's my first shirt on Merch, let me know what you think! https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0794ZR7P4
Good luck! Went through the same process last year. Don't forget to keep up with marketing.
Are you referring to marketing on the Amazon platform, or just through other channels like Instagram, FB, etc?
Yeah my app is in. Merch by Amazon is a great opportunity. To everyone reading this get in while you can. This is a business opportunity that will allow you to make money while you sleep!
