Transcripts
you've applied to Amazon merch on Demand
only to get that dreaded email saying
that you've been rejected absolutely
crushing your dreams of becoming this
big time print on demand seller Are
Falling Away confused and not sure what
to do the easiest thing would be to just
give up no don't do that I have a
solution and it's not going to be the
classic just sign up with a different
email and keep going until you can
finally get accepted because that
clearly doesn't work work the solution
also isn't to just go out there and buy
a merch account because that is a
Surefire way to just get it banned
pretty quickly this is an actual
solution where you can still use Amazon
to sell your print on demand t-shirts
Amazon has many business opportunities
Amazon get over 2 billion visitors every
single month so if we can capitalize on
just some of that that would be ideal so
if we can't sell on Amazon's merch on
demand let's try and sell in another
another area of Amazon's ecosystem I'm
recommending you create an Amazon Seller
Central account and sell via that now
this is a lot more complicated I agree
but it's far more scalable the profit is
much much bigger you get instant access
to ads you don't start on tier 10 you
can upload tons of designs and once you
do get the hang of it it actually makes
a lot more sense and it opens up your
business to using many more tools to
actually make money now if this does
still seem daunting that's what this
video is for I want to show you exactly
how you can sell on Amazon's own
platform and I just want to quickly say
if you have got accepted to merch on
demand I still recommend selling on
Amazon's own platform this way as well
because you're just doubling your
chances of getting seen by someone on
Amazon it's a no-brainer the first thing
you need to do is open a Seller Central
account now unfortunately this is not
free which is why people love merch on
demand as that is completely and utterly
free this is is
$39.99 a month which is frustrating but
it's important to know with merch on
demand you're starting on tier 10 with
no access to ads with this yes you're
paying
$39.99 but because you've got access to
ads and uploading many more products
you'll be able to make that money back
far quicker now I've already created my
Seller Central account I did it a very
very long time ago and I can't create a
second one because technically you're
not allowed so all you have to do is go
through the necessary steps it's really
really straightforward just put your
information in as they ask it once
you've created your Seller Central
account you'll see a dashboard like this
now this does look complicated but again
don't worry about any of it let's keep
it simple the only thing you need to do
at this point in time is know how to
navigate to your inventory so just on
the left hand side you click those click
inventory click manage inventory and
that's it we can now move on we're good
we're going to use printful as our print
on demand supplier because they
integrate with Amazon probably the best
in my opinion it's just so seamless so
the next steps would be to actually
create a printf account this is
incredibly straightforward go over to
the printful website and click create a
new account once signed in to printful
head over to stores connect a new store
then select Amazon from the list you can
now connect that with your Amazon Seller
Central there's a few complicated bits
I'm going to be honest cuz so far this
has seemed quite straightforward but
it's it's not so you need to be a to get
a gtin exemption now this is a global
trade item number and it's used to
identify each product sold on Amazon
this can be a bit of a headache to sort
out but don't worry it's a onetime thing
you sort it out and then you'll be ready
to start getting sales on Amazon so
don't let it deter you from our end goal
now in order to get this GTI you'll need
to order one of your products and you
can do that on printful at a discount
because it's your own item this allows
you to submit proof of brand again don't
let this scare you and rather than
explain it to you I'm going to actually
share a video there's a video in the
description where printful has actually
made a stepbystep tutorial on how to do
this exact thing so rather than just
recreate that they've done it very well
their tutorial is super easy to follow
so I'm going to share that down below
after this video definitely go and check
that out and they'll show you how to get
your GTI n how to order your item and
how to link it with Amazon and actually
get started selling once you're all set
up you'll be good to start selling on
Amazon you can add products on printful
very simply like you would for any other
platform submit those products to the
store wait up to 24 hours for them to
fully SN over however it should take no
longer than 20 minutes and once that's
all done you can actually go and create
ads this allows you to start getting
visitors to your product page straight
away none of this uploading and just
praying every single night that someone
sees your product and eventually buys it
here you're putting it in in front of
them from day one I will also create
another video breaking down Amazon ads
in a lot more detail because this video
is literally just here to give you an
alternative to Amazon merch on demand if
you get rejected but if you do want to
see a full Amazon ads video let me know
in the comments down below personally I
really think this is a no-brainer yes
it's $40 a month but spending a bit of
money to make a lot of money really
isn't that bad you're getting access to
Amazon's billions and billions of
monthly visitors you won't have to tear
up your profit margins will be a lot
higher it just makes a lot more sense
for example charging $25 on item on
merch on Demand versus doing it this way
this is the price difference so on merch
on demand you'll get
$859 versus
$15.75 doing it this way now it will be
a little bit closer to $12 after the
fees but still that is more money that's
3x extra dollars or so every single time
an item is sold which adds up to being
quite a lot of money on top of that you
get instant access to ranking and being
seen on Amazon versus merch on demand
where you've got to upload for ages and
ages get teered up very very slowly and
just hope that you get some sales I
guarantee you this will feel like a
proper proper business and if you really
want you can actually order items in
bulk and that's the beauty of this let's
say you have a t-shirt doing really
really well a design doing really really
well right and you've connected it
through printful what you can just do is
go and order that exact design in bulk
for two or $3 per item you've just
tripled your profit margin and you can
sell it on that listing you know and you
know that listing is getting sales
because it's now got reviews it's got a
good rank it's got social proof it's got
history of getting sales all you need to
do is just order the items yourself in
bulk and sell them that way and it's
just no-brainer in terms of building a
much bigger much more scalable business
I'll be bringing out a full video
tutorial on this in the near future not
connecting your account cuz that's what
we've spoken about here but actually
finding products finding designs the
strategy behind selling and advertising
and then going and ordering from Alibaba
in bulk and selling those it's quite a
cool strategy and it's a legitimate big
proper business that could be sold one
day for all you know I could so it's so
real and it's so cool for now let me
know in the comments if this method of
selling interests you if this is
something that you think you'll want to
try and you want to see more videos on
Amazon really is the PowerHouse of
website traffic and e-commerce and print
on demand for that matter and if you
just want to see how much they actually
beat out every single other print on
demand platform out there you've got to
check out this video next I break down
every single platform and tell you which
one really really beats the competition
when it comes to share customer size and
traffic
