I got the 3 day free merchinformer trial, going to pull as much info as I can on keywords, best practices, what sellers...then cancel my account.
How does they keywords work like SEO algorithm?!?

kinda difficult at first getting used to 25 uploads per day but i think i got it now.....creating a keyword template is a must...i got a question for yall though
do you guys research, find a niche and once you make a sale in that niche just flood it with more designs until you get a solid stream of sales or do you use the shotgun approach and do a bunch of one-offs? i have three niches that make up the bulk of my sales but i have a bunch of one-offs that sell once or twice a month too...thinking about taking the first approach and just building more on what's working the best for me...that seems to be what all the 6k+ sellers are doing right now

I research, find a niche and then I come up with a good design. I normally finish that design and then I make several variations of that design and I upload them all. Sometimes i'll just make a few to test it out, but most of the time I am making a lot of those designs. It's so hard to know what the customer will like and what will be a dud. Some of my favorite designs that I would actually wear myself, have not sold once. Some of my simple, ugly designs. Ones that I would not give as a gift to anyone and hesitated uploading to Amazon, are my best sellers. So, I seriously doubt that I would be able to make hardly any sales trying to do the shotgun approach.

did 30 designs last night....im beat bruh lol...ready to do some research and go in again tho
I don't think I have put up 30 designs this week. Gotta stop slacking
Stopped messing with gimp and inkscape. Trying to learn photoshop and then illustrator. It's a pain in the ass, but I am getting it. Can do simple designs and all that edit crap. Gotta buy fonts and learn how to do the more complicated designs. Then i'll move to illustrator.
Been playing around with pixelLab as well. Nice little app. Lots of potential

and it's funny you mentioned not using gimp and inkscape because i stopped fukkin with Illustrator and started using Affinity Designer and Gimp exclusively now....last week i signed up for this Affinity course on udemy for $10 (usually costs $99) and it was one of the best Merch related decisions that I ever made...i wasn't using the app to it's full potential at all. i'm only on section 4 out of 15 but i learned so much already and im knocking out designs (text based and graphic) 100 times quicker than i did in illustrator. i really don't see myself switching back.
Still at T10 but got my 10th shirt up.
Got a few of the shirts up based on keyword research I did and the rest based off brand I'm trying to build.
Let's go first sale!

I had pixelLab on my phone for months. Finally messed around with it a couple of days and I really liked it. Would be even better if they allowed you to add fonts to its library.
Just checked out affinity designer. It definitely looked like a good program and seems easier than photoshop and illustrator. I need something that will enable me to knock out designs quickly. Which affinity course are you taking?
I wish I could help, but I have no experience in that area.Anyone here got a marketing group or anyway to get more followers / buyers my shyt has been stagnant even with the shyt I'm posting on FB/ig/twitter...
I need a miracle...
Have you tried putting your comics on youtube or one of these other video sites and then promoting your shirts at the end of the video?
