Amazon Merch Upped My Daily Uploads Q4 2017 | Use All Your Daily Uploads Get Increased
Hey guys, just wanted to make a brief video letting you guys know about something Amazon Merch related.
So for any of you who watch my videos and/or pay attention to the Amazon notifications you know there's some changes and restrictions Q4, so through the end of the year.
These changes include things like stalling tier ups, limited color and potentially size availability of shirts, and limited uploads.
A few days ago I made a video talking about how my uploads were changed from 10 per day to 3 per day. I talked to Yong from Merch Minds this past Sunday and he said he wasn't affected, I imagine because he had been using his full 10 uploads everyday where as I hadn't.
Anyhow, my uploads wound up being knocked down from 10 to 3, however after about 3 days of maxing out my 3 designs everyday they upped me to 5. I'm hoping after a few more days of utilizing all 5 designs they'll bring me back up to 10 uploads per day.
Q4 and around Christmas tend to be one of the better selling months of the year for shirt sales so I'd like to really go heavy and get as much uploaded as possible as quickly as possible. Currently I'm at about 261 shirts out of 500.
I have all of my 500 designs done and I've been uploading 10 a day until 2 days ago. They throttled my uploads to 5 a week now so it's going to take me longer to fill up all of my 500 slots now :( I was really hoping to have them tier me up to 1000 designs before the holidays, but I don't think that's going to happen. It's okay though I'm at 429 designs live now and I can see my sales increasing so I'm hoping for a very active holiday season this year. Fingers crossed, ha.
Hey @spacehead that's awesome man. How long have you been on Merch? Any tips or strategies to share? What are you using to design your shirts?
I'm not really very talented with design so most of my stuff is simple text based shirts but sales are picking up, a few months ago I sold 1 shirt and made $1.96, last month I sold something like 110 shirts and made $380 so things are definitely ramping up for me but still have a ways to go
actually I had an account of my own on merch about a year ago that was doing really good, more into that on my personal feed. But I lost it. I'm partnered with my brother, we've had the account for about 9 months now. I just focus on broad niches and try to upload as much as I can. I do create the designs myself.
Love your work man. I wish I had more time to watch every video and comment more. SO BUSY!
Hey buddy thank you reall appreciate the kind words buddy
