How to Get Accepted to Amazon Merch On Demand
I hope this video helps you get accepted! Here’s the link to the Full POD Tutorial mentioned: czcams.com/video/-hV1199wN0k/video.html
thanks for the full tutorials. i have a bunch of one template scalable design and it needs to be seen .
@GregGottfried does Amazon Merch sends a micro deposit to your bank account to verify?
Submitted the application. Amazon says review time is approximately 14 days. I hope will be sooner. I'll keep updated. Thanks for this video, it help me to take action.
I was not accepted with Amazon Merch.
@@MrRamguerrero22 me either and it was less than 14 days.
As a tax professional: Some advice- If you are an LLC, sign up as an Individual- you are a sole proprietor. 2nd, If you are outside the US find out how to file your income but as far as the US in concerned you are suppose to file a tax return for the US also, there are credits that you can take if qualified to help reduce any money you might owe. 3rd- He says royalties, if you are paid on a 1099MISC under the royalty box then you want to file on a Schedule E so you can also take any expenses that you might have incurred ie. fees from Amazon. If you put this under "other Income" you cannot take the expenses, it's not totally wrong to put here but you cannot take expenses on this section. If they pay you on a 1099-k then this is considered self employment income and it needs to go on a Schedule C. (not sure which one they actually send you).Ultimately, you need to consult a tax professional or do your research to make sure if you need to file a tax return and where to put it. Hope that helps clarify some! Good Luck everyone!
For tax purposes, is it better to open an account as an individual or LLC? Do I get more write-offs either way?
@@merijackson6448for this purpose they mean the same thing. An LLC can be an Individual/partnership/SCorp. The LLC part is just you registering for the state that you live in. If you are worried about getting sued then do the LLC But it is not needed. The only difference in expenses is the setup to do it. Everything else is the same
As a non-US citizen, do I have to file a tax return to IRS on my Amazon royalties? Or do I have to file a tax return to my country's tax authorities? Amazon has submitted 1042S form to IRS which has all information about my gross royalties and taxes withheld.
The one is buying your services ambulance chaser
This person is hardly an ambulance chaser. This is very sound advice. While Greg Gottfried has provided some amazing information, no one should be paying tax on their gross income. Any expenses incurred legitimately need to be subtracted from gross income.
Finally someone did it step by step!!! No Fluff!!! Love it
When I clicked on the 'sign up' button a few weeks ago, I got a pop up saying, 'All applications are closed'. Boom.
It worked for me today. 🤔
Greg, I've been dreading applying to Amazon Merch for the longest time and today, after watching this video, it gave me confidence in starting the application process right away. You're amazing! Thank you so much!
I got rejected the first time I tried and gave up, but thanks for this informative video. In a single video you have literally addressed all my questions. And now, I will keep trying. Thank you so very much 🙏🏾😇
Thanks Greg! You always make me smile whenever I watch your videos. I never get bored watching your videos again and again. They are so helpful for the business. Keep up the good work brother 👍.
Thank you! I appreciate that! If you run into any questions on any of the videos just let me know 👍
Thanks, Greg. I've been looking for Merch sign-up information, but no one lays it out as clear as you have.
Awesome, thank you! If you run into any questions on the application just let me know 👍
@@GregGottfried Hey Greg, great info as usual. When you say to re-apply with a different email address, do you mean during the application stage? I tried to make a create a new Amazon account to re-apply to the Merch platform, but when it wants to send an OTP to my phone number, the form says, "this phone number associated with another Amazon account". So I'm guessing you must mean that you sign into your same personal account with your regular email account login but when you go to the Merch by Amazon sign-up application, you THEN use a different email address. Is that correct? Thank you so much for the help!
thank you so much i have watched so many videos but you explain the solution to the problem to the point. Thanks a lot
Thnx for the helpgul information and the support you are willing to give to the people who are struggling to be accepted. It really counts
Greg, it's awesome to see your dedication on answering everyone's questions throughout your videos. From all of us, thank you!😊🙏
Thanks 🙏 Always here for you guys… thanks for your comments I appreciate them!
always detailed and very easy to understand , you’re awesome Greg
@@shirleycapili9838 That's Shirley 🙌 Hope you're doing well!
Thank you Greg. Your videos are very informative and helpful. I wish you continued success and all the best.
Greg thanks for the wonderful tutorial, info and tips. Waiting for my Amazon Merch registration to be approved.
i like these tutorials from you, Gregg. very comprehensive, saying as well the minute details, incorporating every bit of idea and instruction with every utterance. Some questions:
what is the diff between live vs auto-uploaded?
why cant i see other amazon merch on demand markets like sg, and aussie? are the not part of amazon merch on demand? Im sure these two are included in amazon fba/amazon wholesale/amazon arbitrage
Wow! Another super helpful video Greg! Thanks for doing what you do.
Thanks, and hope you're doing well!
You are absolutely the best ! Thank you for sharing this valuable knowledge this well. 🙏🏼 here I come to fill out that application. Wish me luck 😊
superbly explained thanks Greg!
Glad you enjoyed it!
This was way to helpful. Exactly what I needed to know to get into Amazon Merch. Thanks Greg!!
Glad it was helpful! If you run into any questions just let me know 👍
Thank you that was super helpful!! by any chance have you made a video about setting up a RedBubble shop and how to maximize sales?
So much of great information in one single video!!
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you for this video. I applied to Amazon Merch on demand today.
Greg, this was amazing. Thank you!
Thank you so much for the update on this topic Greg! Very helpful indeed :-)
No worries! If you run into any questions just let me know 👍
👍 Yes. 🙏Thank you for this update. It’s the little things that make the difference. Time to apply again…💪
Right on! I hope you get in, you got this!
Very helpful thank you ❤
I earlier struggled with getting able to sign up for merch on demand I have now managed to get onto the sign up page and I am awaiting confirmation from Amazon ..Supposedly should take about 14 days or so but could be longer we await with baited breath .. fingers crossed !
Hope you get in!!
Thanks Greg. very informative tutorial Applied today. now the waiting .
Any news?
Thanks man! I’ll be trying again today!
Right on, good luck!
This is so helpful! Thanks for the info and detailed description.
Glad it was helpful! Thank you! If you run into any questions just let me know 👍
Just used this to apply today! Thank you! Fingers crossed
Update?
@@isiahslater21 i got rejected lol
Thank you so much for the updated video/ information on this.
When letting them know that you already sell on other market places, do you recommend listing them out? Etsy, red bubble, etc. Or, should we just state that we already sell on multiple marketplace platforms? Thanks for all of the great information you provide on this channel!
I've noted my address on Etsy. I think it's a big advantage, especially since I'm a star seller with huge sales. Let's see what they reply.
Thanks a bunch Greg, for the updated info…
No worries!
Very useful video Greg, as always.
Thanks again Roy!
Whoa, sooooo helpful, thank you so much for posting, am off to do my application now, will keep you posted! 🙃
Good luck!
So helpful! I applied ages ago, got rejected and gave up. I will try again now!
Very helpful video. Thanks Greg!
Thank you! If you run into any questions just let me know 👍
Thank you so much for this awesome step by step and especially the additional info tip on the app. I submitted my application.
No worries! Good luck I hope you get in on the first try!
thanks to this tutorial i just applied and fingers crossed🥶
Did you get accepted ?
Thank you for this information. I just applied using your tips.
How’d it go
@@cruzvcruz5752 I didn't get accepted, but I'm going to try again.
What would you put if you aren’t just selling t-shirts (Novelty Tees) part?
Been denied 4 times 😢 will keep going! I've said all of the same things as told above plus I sell on walmart & etsy plus website still no!
Hello! Sorry for the inconvenience, can you tell me how you do it so I can try again? They have denied me once and I can't access it anymore. If there is any trick, I would greatly appreciate it if you could comment on it.
Thanks a lot for this again, Greg! Very informative and helpful, indeed! 💙👍 Please wish me luck for I have just submitted my request today. Keeping my fingers...and toes crossed. Hahaha! 😁
Best of luck!!
You're wonderful. Thank you so much dude.
As always, helpful content and walk-thru - thanks! So is it better to establish our other POD stores first, so that we can list them in our Amazon application?
That's what I'm doing. I also wanted to have some good designs that I felt confident about under my belt. I'm applying to Amazon next week.
Another good video Greg. I was all ready to do the Printify / Gelato to Etsy run like so many others. Then after a week or two of watching videos on POD, I came across yours with a completely different take! Well explained, easy to understand and YES far more Passive for sure. I like PASSIVE! Interesting why the masses are on a different runway. I have triple checked all the stats between the two, looked at the pros / cons and I think we are ready to go Captain, up the Gottfried runway :) Thanks for tips in this video and all the others I have watched.
Right on! I think it's less common because it's not get rich quick like you can do with paid ads on the active route. Granted, it's not easy, but it's possible and looks really encouraging to share lol. I've got a bunch more in the works, so lots of good tutorials coming for passive POD. Here's a really good one in the meantime: czcams.com/video/-hV1199wN0k/video.html
Honestly, i love your videos ❤️
What do you use to make the design!?
thanks heaps Greg🙌♥️
@GregGottfried Hey Greg, great info as usual. When you say to re-apply with a different email address, do you mean during the application stage?

Do you have any advice or can you point us to any guides on getting a TIN or EIN if we want to avoid using our SSN? I'm going to be trying online sale stuff on a number of sites this year and I really don't want to be handing out my SSN all over the place.
(I've heard you can get a TIN for a sole proprietorship from the IRS for free?)
Thank you so much for info!
Glad it was helpful! If you run into any questions just let me know 👍
Thank you Greg I learnt a ton from your video - amazing value
Great to hear! If you run into any questions just let me know 👍
Great info, thank you.
Thanks Chuck. If you run into any questions just let me know 👍
Thanks greg this video is very very helpful ❣️
Glad it was helpful! If you run into any questions just let me know 👍
@@GregGottfried greg I have question about redbubble I was created 5 accounts which are suspended after creating account..... No designs upload yet .
. But my account was suspended I don't know what's the reason behind this can you guide me greg ❣️
I’ve heard of RedBubble doing it sometimes based on location, and it’s a totally automated thing. There’s no good explanation for it so I would come back to them later on once you’ve built up your business on the other websites 👍
Do you suggest sticking to one topic with designs or a mix? I currently have 3 storefronts on Spring (Wine / Drums / Graphic Ts - themes). On Amazon, would it be better to have a mix of my best designs from my three storefronts or stick to on theme? Thanks for any advice you can give me. Love all your videos.
I think what Greg has said before is that you will be choosing your keywords strategically so you can mix niches in your storefront & prospective customers will find your designs according to their keyword search. But you need to do your keyword & niche research carefully!
I was declined twice 😢. Thanks , Greg , I will try again , using your tips
I think I have been declined around 13 times, will continue trying
Another great video Greg! Quick question; do you find simplistic designs get more movement or more colorful & unique designs get more traction? Maybe a video based on your experience?? Thanks Greg!
Simple sells!
Thank you!
Thank you so much for all the information you share. You are awesome!
Thank you! If you run into any questions just let me know 👍
Thanks for the info.
According to another 'guru' you need to use a new phone number as well each time you re-apply?
The few people who do get accepted nowadays, seems to be from the US.
(I've been denied 20+ times and gave up)
Yes, each time you create a new Amazon account to apply from, you have to use a new phone number. I have applied twice so far and the second this I had to use a different phone number.
Hi thanks for this video. If i try a second time with a second address email, and I get accepted. Is it possible to change it back with the old 1st address used once we get accepted ?
Hi Greg, you provide very useful information and I love your videos, thank you. So, do we choose the quality of the t-shirt? Are there options that fit everyone or is it standard on Redbuble, Amazon and Teepublic? Also, are returns common and how does the process continue? I would appreciate it if you could give me information in case of a return.
With Greg's passive POD format, the POD provider handles all the customer service -- including returns!!!
That being said, RedBubble & TeePublic [& I think Amazon also] allow the customer to choose the quality of the product ["premium" t-shirts cost more, of course].
Thank you! 🙏 One question - what is the 4th tip? I have 1,2,3 and 5. 🙏
The 4th tip starts at 11:56 minutes of the video
Hi Greg, thanks for teaching this. I’ve been rejected 2x so far and I just tried again to let it be known that indeed you need not only a different email address and password to start a new account but also you need to verify a totally different phone number as well. I don’t know about any one else but I only have one phone number.
is this true?
Any tips to apply from South America? I'm already in RB and TP, but AMD will be top
Great walkthrough with good advice Greg! Question, can one person owns multiple accounts with Amazon Merch at all? If yes, how do you do it exactly to avoid getting in any trouble with Amazon?
I’ve seen a video of someone sharing his horrible story about having a second account a while back, but I still wonder if it is even possible to do. Thanks!
Thanks! Hope you've been well. Still traveling overseas? Great question. This is something I've too heard horror stories about (having multiple active Merch on Demand accounts). They state in their terms that you cannot have multiple active Merch on Demand accounts, and I believe they do actually enforce this. If you had multiple on accident, I'd just keep one dormant and use the other as your active one 👍
@@GregGottfried good to know, I feel like sellers on Amazon always need to be extra careful and cautious, like walking on a minefield. I came back from traveling two weeks ago, however, I caught COVID somewhere on the way back unfortunately. So, I’ve been trying to recover since then. Would like to create new CZcams content again soon. Thanks Greg!
Dang.. I hope you get back to 100% soon!
Can we make both seller central and merch on demand on same LLC. i already have seller central acount. now i also want to make merch on demand acount. is it possible?
Thank YOU so much... God bless!!!
Thank you! If you run into any questions just let me know 👍
Just curious, if you are signing up from New Zealand, will your shirt designs still show up globally or only to Amazon Australia? i want to make sure since i legally can sign up as an American or a New Zealander that i get the benefit of the largest audience possible!
Very good video as well
Any reason I can’t see the amount that have sold like you can?
So you can reapply with the same exact email address / Amazon acct multiple times?
Thank you for sharing
No worries! If you run into any questions just let me know 👍
I have used your advice here and tried my 3rd time. Very hopeful to get in.. fingers crossed
I'm also on my third try and waiting to here back.
@@jeremiahthomason2012 this time I used my personal amazon account that I have had for years…… and made sure my application sounded as pro as possible
Hoping for the best!!
Hope you get approved!!
@@GregGottfried I hope so too!!
It would be my 3rd try… and this time I concentrated on the application paragraph and instead of creating a new account, I used my personal long time shopping account…. Crossing fingers!!!
@@GregGottfried hope so too
Its been a week and still under review.
I am hopeful….
If you are not accepted the first time, you say to re-apply with a different email address. Does this mean setting up a new Amazon account or can you just change the email address attached to your existing account? Thanks!
Thank you so much sir 😊❤
Is it possible to modify the Additional Information after you've hit submit?
Thank you! I am learning so much valuable information from your videos. Question, I heard you mention in another video we're giving them the rights of the product, so does that mean we can not sell the same product on another platform? or we're just giving them rights to sell the item?
Great question! We are just giving them the rights to sell it, so we can still sell it on other platforms too 👍
If I'm a non-US citizen living outside the USA, Do I have to open the Amazon account addressed to my LLC? I would not like to use my personal Amazon account to apply, but I'm not sure. Any advice?
Thank you
No worries! If you run into any questions just let me know 👍
1st attempt denied for Amazon Merch On Demand. I followed your steps, any suggestions when I reapply? Thank you Greg!
Great video Greg. One question. Im not in the US. So, if im using a US bank through payoneer, does that mean that my address should be US as well? because if im saying my country is In Africa for example, and i put a payoneer bank thats US., wouldnt that cause a problem??
Can you use PayPal as a way for them to pay you or does it have to be your bank?
Something I haven’t seen addressed yet is how you re-apply (setup a new Amazon account) with the same phone number. It says “that number is already used for an Amazon account.” I tried using friends numbers but everyone has an Amazon account so I cannot complete the account setup or apply. Any help would be appreciated!
Hi I am from Singapore and unable to select a county which means I need a payment support can you guide on this
I have been denied twice and heard that you can actually buy an approval. Do you believe this is correct?
I heard this from a very reliable source so I don’t believe it is spam
In Amazon's Merch on Demand, I need to enter an address. Since I am in Portugal/Europe, what address should I use to sell to the United States or the English-speaking market? I really enjoy your videos, congratulations. Thank you in advance for your help.
Is this the same for wall art or just T shirts?
rejected once again, followed the advice, now up to around 14-15 rejections, changed email once again and re-submitted. will keep trying.
What do you recommend for those who just can't get approved for Amazon?
I did everything you suggested in the video and got turned down after 7 days of being in review. I just set up another Amazon account with a different email address as you suggested. Fingers crossed I can get approved this time…
I hope you get in on this try 🙏
I followed your tutorial thoroughly. Even then my application got rejected.
Dang.. At least you know you have yourself the best odds. You can reapply with a different email address so don’t give up, it’s well worth it once you’re in 😀
Is there a way to offer higher quality shirts on Amazon, or should we just not care? I’ve bought so many shirts on Amazon that are rough, heavy, oversized and crappy quality. I’m wondering if that alone would then give me a bad review.
On Etsy it costs 20 cents per post per yearly quarter. Is there a cost to post on Amazon? I’d like some more info about the actual posting of designs bro❤
I was rejected and need to reapply. In addition to a different email do I need to use a different phone number too? Thanks for the video!
I've seen this asked several times with no reply. I too would love to know the answer 😜
What if I have an active KDP account. Do I use the same email etc for Amazon Merch?
Great question. Since they treat the accounts separately, it won't matter which email you apply with. I hope you get in!
Amazon kept singing my original designs. They said they looked too professional. Yes I'm a professional graphic designer. Lol!
thanks for the tutorial, but is this applicable to Nigerians? thanks
thankyou
You're welcome! If you run into any questions just let me know 👍
Thanks
Welcome! If you run into any questions just let me know 👍
Amazon turned me down and when I went back to try to sign up again, it stopped me, reminding me that my application had been denied, but invited me to join the FBA program. I am a POD business already with Printful. Any suggestions?
