Thanks, Juna! I watched the Merch Informer video but your tutorial is more short and to the point. I appreciate you sharing your talent and it's very inspiring!
Make sure you check trademarks on trending phrases. Just A Girl is trademarked. I had a bunch of designs under that niche from a couple years back then Amazon took down one of my designs. I researched it and it is now trademarked for clothing. I had to go in and delete every design that had that phrase before Amazon sends more rejections.
Justia shows that the trademark was abandoned. Still though, might want to be better safe than sorry. Amazon doesn't really care what the truth is--they just make their decisions and go on about their business. Appeals are pointless (IMO).
@@arkikali5632 it's crazy. Just A Girl Who is trademarked in USPTO for clothing and it's Live. It's record number 8 of 41. It gets confusing. Sometimes people use part of the phrase and just because of that, we can't use it in Amazon. Amazon doesn't like to take chances they'll reject anything that has a partial phrase, it seems.
@@elvis723 Yup. And yet if you look up superhero notebook or Disney coloring book, the infringement is rampant. It is what it is though. I don't have an issue with trademark when someone came up with it. I have a huge problem with someone seeing a trend and then filing a trademark to block competition. 😠
Would you say it's worth the investment for someone who's still in tier 10? A lot of the tools seem to be just a much more convenient way to do something, that can be done for free with more steps. But, if the thing helps sell more products, I'd say that's worth it in any case.
Depends on how much you have to spend. If you were like me and had nothing to spend then I wouldn't. If you are already making an income of $50 or more a month then it could be worth it.
Great content, Juna! I liked the reminder to be wary of the one-day movers and shakers. A broader look time-wise definitely gives more valuable information. Because you're right, it's never clear what caused a brief uptick in sales to land them on the movers and shakers page. Better to see those designs selling well for at least over a week. Kind of unrelated but still a Merch question: When you're uploading one design to each of the different worldwide Amazon markets, how do you insure that you won't get a trademark violation in those markets? (Are you checking for trademarks and content rules for each market for each design?) I've been hesitant to upload to other markets besides the US because a few times when *Amazon* auto-uploaded to other markets on my behalf a while ago, some weeks or months later I got one or two notices of content/trademark violation from those non-US markets. For that reason, I halted auto-uploading a long time ago. Also, what is your best practice for handling non-English language translations with your title, brand, and feature bullets? Basically, what is your process for uploading to ALL international markets? Thanks for any info you could provide!
Well.... you may not like my answer.... you can check every market but I don't.... I take a chance that US is the one with the most trademarks so if it passes on US I just put it on all markets... most of the times I'm right..... about 1 in 300 or so I get a trademark strike on a different market.... it may be even less than that, I can't really remember the last time it happened.
@@DetourShirts Ahh, I see. Interesting. Thank you for your response. I am TERRIFIED of trademark/content violations because I value my account so much. My method is CLUNKY. I upload a design to just a lone standard shirt in the US market. Then if the standard shirt goes live without a problem, I upload the design to all the other products in the US market. Then I'll include just a standard shirt on the UK market. Wait for it to go live. Then I'll upload All of the products in the UK market. I fully admit it's a horrible method. (There must be a better way!) I like your method, though. Bold. Just successfully upload to the US and cross your fingers for the other markets lol. Thanks for this! What do you do about the non-English languages in the title, brand, etc., if you don't mind my asking? Thank you!
Juna, I realize this tool is for Amazon Merch. May be a good idea and personally selfish request (wink) to make a video , to know which research tools you recommend for other sites, such as Etsy. Thanks!
Would you recommend buying a service like Canva or Kittl over using software like Affinity Designer (or similar apps) for speedy and convenient t-shirt design?
Yes.... it really depends what you want and how you want to design your shirts but those apps can really be useful if you want something quick and you don't want to draw your own stuff.
@@DetourShirts Thanks for the reply. For me, it’s part and part. I want something quick, likely for the same reason you demo them for people on CZcams. However, I want vector node capability so I can trace photos and make images for concepts that require a more unique, custom feel. Let me ask you then, for someone with your capability do you use both Canva and Kittl? If not, then which one is your go to?
I wouldn't use 'tie dye' if I were you - it may mislead the customer to think it is actually tie dyed. I mean, it won't but Amazon might think it is misleading, like using 'glitter'.
@@DetourShirts Thanks for the info! Do the social posts convert a lot or would you say that most of the traffic on redbubble comes from organic results?
Thank you for the information, but I have a problem with the Merch by Amazon platform that does not accept me, and I need a portal to put my designs on
thank you so much I need those informations please if you can help us how to get inspiration to design like video of the whole process if you have a time for that , and thank you again sir.
You are writing the CRAWfish into CRAYfish @ 3:22 (spelling mistake)... By the way, we have no idea what "Mardi Gras" is or means. And Can you explain further the the best Range of BSR? from what Up to what numbers should we look for BSR? Thank you for sharing this info. That was the kind of video I've been looking for about the research. And last but not least, From Where can we find the General niches, to start for?
@@DetourShirts Aw! Thank you! So we must look for BSRs lower than 500,000. Thank you for telling me that. 👍🏼 Always have in mind when you do your videos that many beginners are watching them. So you must explain these details in every episode. 😉
Hello, greetings to you, but I have a question, how is the average PSR as you showed in the video about 67k, and the products exceed one million!! Is this normal or can you just clarify it even if I misunderstand, thanks
Yes... basically Amazon grouped Merch on Demand products in a climate pledge category so now our BSRs are lower than before because it is based off of that group not all of Amazon..... So now you will see BSRs that are like half what they used to be
Hi, Juna! Thanks so much--I'm actually trying to get better about researching and SEO. Nobody'll buy it if they cna't find it, right? So, question--is there a cutoff on BSR for you? Like if the average BSR is above XYZ, you don't bother? Thank you again. I love your videos. 🙂
Well I've only used Pretty Merch and Merch Informer..... I like the convenience of Pretty Merch, it's right there when I'm logged into Amazon. I can see top sellers right away.... I like the different tools that Merch Informer has, the competition checker, the free graphics, the trend checker.... so they both have good things.
It could work.... remember it only tells you what is selling and what has low competition... you will still need to make a design people want to buy.... and on top of that it really is just a helpful tool but it doesn't guarantee sales
There is no real magic number but I like to post 100 to get a feel of what gets a sale and what doesn't and then learn from it.... if you get no sales at all you may need to change your style.

Yup.... got to watch those trademarks.... I touched on it but I should have said more
It is frankly ridiculous that someone was allowed to trademark that. *sigh* USPTO is a shitshow sometimes.
Justia shows that the trademark was abandoned. Still though, might want to be better safe than sorry. Amazon doesn't really care what the truth is--they just make their decisions and go on about their business. Appeals are pointless (IMO).

@@DetourShirts Hi can I ask you for advice? should I put my domain on teespring?
I'm not sure... I don't use TeeSpring that much.... I don't think it would hurt though
@@DetourShirts ok thank you , your video so fantastic

Ohhhh.... good point... thanks for your comment
Hi Juna,
do you have any marketing strategy aside from sharing your designs on Pinterest?
The only paid thing I do currently is Amazon ads.... everything else I do is free.... I post on Twitter, Instagram and Pinterest occasionally.
@@DetourShirts Thanks for the info! Do the social posts convert a lot or would you say that most of the traffic on redbubble comes from organic results?
Thank you for the information, but I have a problem with the Merch by Amazon platform that does not accept me, and I need a portal to put my designs on
It's tough to get in
Merch Informer is the best tool for print on demand or you can suggest a better alternative? Thank you and thank you for the video.
Depends what you want but Merch Informer does have a ton of features
@@DetourShirts Yes, I just subscribed to PRO account.
thank you so much I need those informations please if you can help us how to get inspiration to design like video of the whole process if you have a time for that , and thank you again sir.
Sure thing!

Hello.
Merch Informer Graphics Mega pack, worth buying? Thank you!
Depends, will you use it? Do you have access to other graphics?
You are writing the CRAWfish into CRAYfish @ 3:22 (spelling mistake)... By the way, we have no idea what "Mardi Gras" is or means.

Great point... Crayfish and crawfish are interchangeable I believe... I like lookin for BSRs lower than 500,000

You don't have to look for low BSRs but a shirt with 500k or less is selling a lot.
@@DetourShirts oK. Thanks a lot!
Thanks
You are very welcome
Hello, greetings to you, but I have a question, how is the average PSR as you showed in the video about 67k, and the products exceed one million!! Is this normal or can you just clarify it even if I misunderstand, thanks
The average BSR are for the products shown.... usually only the top 500 of the search results not all products
hello pls can u explain te me the new badge climate pledge and how it affects the bsr
Yes... basically Amazon grouped Merch on Demand products in a climate pledge category so now our BSRs are lower than before because it is based off of that group not all of Amazon..... So now you will see BSRs that are like half what they used to be
so if its 200 000 in the bsr ( climate ) we can that its 400 000 in the normal one ?
Yeah something like that.... Anything under 100k is really good.
Hi, Juna! Thanks so much--I'm actually trying to get better about researching and SEO. Nobody'll buy it if they cna't find it, right? So, question--is there a cutoff on BSR for you? Like if the average BSR is above XYZ, you don't bother? Thank you again. I love your videos. 🙂
I like it below 500,000 but the lower the better.

which one do you like "Pretty Merch or Merch Informer" "eRank or Everbee" "sale samurai or Bubble scout"
Well I've only used Pretty Merch and Merch Informer..... I like the convenience of Pretty Merch, it's right there when I'm logged into Amazon. I can see top sellers right away.... I like the different tools that Merch Informer has, the competition checker, the free graphics, the trend checker.... so they both have good things.
One year I'm using the merch informer but it don't get eny sell I think that website it not working with lower tier 10
It could work.... remember it only tells you what is selling and what has low competition... you will still need to make a design people want to buy.... and on top of that it really is just a helpful tool but it doesn't guarantee sales
is anyone good enough to share what he wrote in the "application" to merch by amazon to accept him?
It's more of being lucky than anything else.... Amazon only picks a few applicants at a time
Do you also use merch informer for redbubble and teepublic?
No.... not really... I mean I do put my designs I make for Amazon on RedBubble and TeePublic but they are really made for that platform
What does bsr stand for?
Best Seller Rank.... every product on Amazon has it... the lower the BSR number the more it's selling
Is sale samari the same as this tool
I don't know I've never tried Sale Samurai
first view and comment, where is my trophy.😀😀😀
Lol.... here you go...🏆
@@DetourShirts thank you
design for sneakers make you
You can't design for sneaker on Amazon but there are some other POD sites that do... I'll have to make a video
Do you have any courses?
Not yet... sorry
Yes, designing for the American Market when you are not American 🤷♀️
It must be tough... but this should help
You are meant to pronounce it neesh (niche)
True.... I've heard it both ways....neesh sounds better though
Good to cuddle good to eat 15:25 ja😂
Funny furry potatoes
@@DetourShirts we eat them in Peru they are call Cuy
Merch informer steals you money Don't use it
Really? I haven't heard that.... sorry it didn't work for you
Can I apply this on redbubble and teepublic?
The data is only for Amazon... of course you can try putting it on RedBubble and TeePublic and you may get lucky
I post around 40 design how many should i post to get my first sell? 🥲
There is no real magic number but I like to post 100 to get a feel of what gets a sale and what doesn't and then learn from it.... if you get no sales at all you may need to change your style.
