I submitted my first a few hours ago and found out they probably won't approve until Monday. I hope my design is approved :lupe: Got 2 more ready too.

What your t-shirt about :mjpls:

I'm tapping into the snowflake/weaboo market and selling Japanese Kawaii t-shirts :mjgrin: what type of designs are you doing?

From what I gathered, it’s best to do trendy or holiday shirts to tier up quickly. I’m gonna do half upcoming holiday shirts targeted at specific groups then half trendy slogan type shirts.

You can experiment more when you have more design slots to upload daily. Right now we gotta choose our 1 design a day wisely.

I love this Merch shyt :banderas:

When Amazon is on that bs I wanna pop a cap in Steve Bezos ass but when they on point :ohlawd:

Advice to anyone just starting out....figure out a way to push outside traffic NOW don't wait till later....and once you find a system that works stick with it. Free or paid. The freeze in January was a blessing in disguise because it forced me to take action and now that I built my own audience I don't have to be fully reliant on Amazon anymore. All in all, what I'm basically saying is cover your ass.

Yeah I'm running ads and link sharing to my shirts. I'll be damn if I just "wait" for organic traffic. Question: Have you bought one of your own shirts to see the quality?

Nah, I haven't yet but I have reviews that talk about how good the quality is so I just went off that. That was before they switched to Port & Company tho. So far I've seen mixed reviews from other sellers about the quality of the new shirts. Some say it's good, others say that it decreased.

Have you looked at Etsy/printful?

Some people say they are making more on there than they are on merch. Only thing is that you have to pay for the order before they will start printing it.

If you sign up, make sure that you tell them that you design your own shirts. They will terminate you if you dont.

I had no idea of how to find a good dropshipper to help me with the printing side of the game... I already had all my designs ready but I wanted to get a good deal on each shirt and sizes... I'll look into etsy is the amazon thing doesn't pan out but I've been busy with other things here... I was looking for a print on demand service for a minute... but alas they was kind of expensive...

I use printful. Their prices are better than Amazon's. But you have to pay etsys 0.20 listing fee and a small percentage of each sale. Amazon is a lot easier to deal with though

I seen those prices on Printful and it's not bad but I need something like amazon is offering... I use them to make my novels which is cool with the print on demand service...:ld:
