MERCH BY AMAZON TIER SYSTEM EXPLAINED | How to Tier Up Fast Amazon Merch Tier 10 or Tier 25

[@iammbahgodswill]

You are the best ma'am and the most honest KZbinr I have seen

[@ArtistCreek]

I agree with the idea of uploading designs gifts. Just make it unsearchable and lowball the price to break even and voila...you got Christmas presents AND your tier sales. You can change them out as you want so its not like your stuck with Uncle Bobs i ❤Beer shirt forever. I also order christmas presents with my sample orders. Joined gelato and got 6 items at 50% off. There's 6 more presents and i was able to really see how their quality is over multiple items and sizes.

[@JustArtsCreations]

Print on demand gifts for family at Christmas to get your sales is actually a really good idea

[@hannahebeling]

Win win 🙌🏼

[@LisasEbooks]

Great idea for sure.

[@halitsanr4439]

Thank you so very much for your efforts Hannah !!

[@hannahebeling]

You're so welcome!

[@LouisCornea]

Thank's for the very valuable information, it answered mostly of my questions.

[@EyeSeeBots]

I was tiered from 10 straight to 500 thanks to 1 shirt.

[@hannahebeling]

Woohoo! Good for you. That’s so awesome to hear! Sometimes you just need to find your one standout design to really get your business going.

[@MyAkikan]

wow insane for you ! what kind of tshirt it was?

[@paulrobinson7364]

I really appreciate your videos very informative thank you 😊

[@ReviewsAndHowTos]

Great video! I started out at tier 1,000. I don't know if that's something new or because I'm also an Amazon Influencer.

[@bigman7856]

Great videos! I’ve decided to make use of my design hobby and actually start making a side hustle from it. I’ve seen a lot of people get good success but it isn’t always so easy. If I can get accepted I will stick to this. I feel like a good strat is to make sure I’m marketing myself on social media. I don’t have any following outside of a few hundred family and friends(which is more than most), but I want to make design related content to showcases my process.

[@hannahebeling]

Good for you! Excited to see how things go for you! Wishing you the best of luck!

[@brittsvegandinners9390]

U sound real knowledgeable bout setting up side hussle, I’m in a rut & maybe u could give me tips Or tricks to get me out of this rut that I am In w/ this side hussle

[@LisasEbooks]

This was a great video. I really enjoyed your content.

[@hannahebeling]

Thank you so much!

[@CarlBroadbent]

If you get accepted how quickly do you Ned to start adding designs. Or should you have designs ready to go

[@elijahroussell7653]

Getting confused by the Merch by Amazon name. Where do you find this on the Amazon site and how do you sign up for an account?

[@brattykitties3053]

Would it be possible to reveal or give us an idea of the niche you used for the getting out of tier 10 on amazon ? i know we need to make all the shirts be one niche and then promote them on an instagram exclusiving for our niche amazon brand to get sales to tier up and then we can change later. but it still seems like unless we making something super super niched down, sending people to our store they may still just buy from something else. just a thought! thank you!

[@mrpensive7341]

Hi Hannah, I remember watching one of your videos on how to do proper descriptions and bullet points, iv just spent a few hours perfecting a Thanksgiving Turkey design and looks way better than the top seller, so I need to get the description done properly and correctly, send me the link please, I can't remember which one of your videos it was in ... And ill bookmark it for future reference ;-)

[@hannahebeling]

Very exciting!! Hoping it sells super well for you. My Video is called “How to write perfect merch by Amazon descriptions.” If you look on my video page it should be right there!

[@luisfernandopippi6480]

Hi hannah, thx for the great vídeo. I’m at tier10 since 2021. I got 224 sales, 100% designs slots (not all products) but I'm still trying to figure it out why I'm not tiring up. Can you help me?

[@hannahebeling]

Sometimes it’s purely just randomness on Amazon’s part. If you don’t think it’s one of the several reasons listed in the video, I wouldn’t be able to give you a solid reason.

[@StellaLanai]

I have a question about returns. I ordered 8 of my own designs and out of those, 4 of them were printed poorly, missing ink, off centered or the shirt was too dark for the design even though they looked fine on the upload. I did return them because I couldn't use them for photos and gifts like I'd planned. Does Amazon ding me for returns that are their fault?

[@RightWingMediaEdits]

Hi Hannah thanks for your videos, I've been watching ur videos for months now and they have helped me so much. I took ur advice and was excepted to amazon merch but I'm curious if I'm looking at my dashboard wrong cuz it says I'm teir 1000, that can't be rite I just started but it says ...status- tier 1000 lol do you have any advice or input on this lol?

[@thesupportcrew1]

Very helpful tips. Thank you!

[@hannahebeling]

Glad it was helpful!

[@JoJo-up1zz]

Been eligible for over a year, still tier 10, 59 sales 2 returnes 1 canceled, 6 of my 10 slots have sold and still stuck at tier 10, 4.8 average star rating. Even emailed Amazon once but just got a canned response. Trying to be patient here but I guess I should just move on.

[@hannahebeling]

Ugh! That is sooo frustrating! I’d like to do another video digging into why this might be happening if I can find out more. It seems like I’ve been hearing this more and more lately!

[@nabil-zc5mv]

شكرا جزيلا على الترجمة و كل ما تقومين به من أجل المبتدئين في هذا المجال

[@hannahebeling]

[@niceice07]

Hi Hannah, very informative video! I believe the returns issue might be why I am still stuck on level 100 with 731 sales - For better or worse, my absolute top seller is a Halloween shirt that people seem to "borrow" for the holiday and then conveniently return in November. This is so disheartening. I have a total of 73 returns and 68 of them have come from this shirt ...but this shirt has also sold 591 total - even after returns. Do you have any tips or insight on holiday shirts that get returned like this? I've heard this is common ... it's just unfortunate that this is my biggest seller I think. I have another similar shirt selling well this year and I'm already anticipating that one getting returns now too. Also, for the ads - I have access to them at tier 100. It's almost like they gave me ads instead of tiering me up. Would love for you to do some videos on Amazon ads! Mine are working but I think I am overpaying as my cost per click is around 0.35 but it also seems to be helping organic sales. Thank you for all the info and great videos!

[@niceice07]

Literally got another return on that shirt as I typed this ha so I guess it's not just November ... but I don't think there is anything wrong with the design. It has over 40 reviews with 4 and 5 stars.

[@hannahebeling]

Hi Lisa! Thanks for taking time to watch and comment! Wow, that's so frustrating about the halloween shirt. My returns tend to go up during Q4 too with people buying gifts and then finding something better or returning something they got. Wish I had more insight into this, but I think you're smart in not deleting the design since its making good sales. honestly 73 returns out of 731 sales in a bit on the high side, but not astronomical. Fingers crossed that after the holiday you'll get moved up. That's awesome you have ads! A video on ads is pretty highly requested, so I definitely will make that happen soon. Unless its a great seller, I tend to spend between .15-.36 per click, but it really does depend a lot on the niche/profit margin.

[@MB-pf9ox]

@@hannahebeling maybe try lowering the price of that shirt at Halloween time. If the price is low most people weight the amount of time it takes to go through return process. I wouldn’t take the time returning a $15 shirt but if it was $25 i just might. Seems like a contradiction but if it cut your returns to say 23 and allowed you to move up a tier… maybe lower across the board until you reach the higher tier.

[@niceice07]

@Vic currently I also have 90 of my 100 filled ... but I have had all 100 filled at different times. I have been rotating them pretty consistently for the last 2 months so I was able to upload something every day up until the last 3 days anyway.

[@nuricello5083]

Hi Hannah! Thanks a lot for your informative videos 🙏. A skort question: can Isell to 2 or more different niches separately on amazon merch? Like having 2 or 3 different facebook pages? (Which I have and would like to use as a possible traffic way). Thanks again! Nuri

[@hannahebeling]

Absolutely! Each listing on Amazon is unique, so you can target as many niches as you want!

[@judeihekwoaba]

Hi - Hannah; I got denied on my first application; how do I re-apply.

[@rencaulder8262]

Big question, I want to do this but am afraid of returns being the thing that hurt me. What do you recommend for someone starting out on how to deal with the return policy?

[@hannahebeling]

The wonderful thing about Amazon merch is you won’t eat the cost of the returns-you just won’t make the profit for that item. Typically returns are going to be a small percentage of all sales.

[@christiancarfann729]

Do you have to have a computer or can you do this on a phone?

[@sudhanshujayaswal2141]

I am a designer from New Delhi(India). I am already on PODs like Tee Public, Spreadshirt, Threadless, Fine Art America and Zazzle. Can I upload the designs I've posted on their sites for merch Amazon too without any risk of infringement of rules?

[@hannahebeling]

Yes, you totally can!

[@anthonyreuterink2835]

Greetings Hanna and thanks for all your efforts in your tutorials re: Amazon Merch. To keep it brief l have two questions: 1). My initial target on Amazon Merch will be to market one design in a large niche zone. l want to place 5 garments x 2 color combinations - White on black & black on white = 10 in total. Not sure if Amazon Merch finds this okay....Let me know if you can. 2). Does Amazon Merch ( specifically ) have a chat function [ not the general Amazon chat ]. Thanks so much. Regards Anthony.

[@Bea-q6v]

1) you can totally do that. however, I always would only load up one product in one country and wait if it doesnt get rejected for copy right questions. I'm an artist and my designs are 100% original, but still they sometimes find something in the description what is in their optinion copyrighted. If rejection happens too often you get banned. Plus if your designs dont sell you have to put on different ones anyways so I wouldnt think more about different ideas than differen color combinations 2) dont know what you mean so I cant answer that

[@sonz4205]

Thank you Hannah ❤

[@hannahebeling]

Thanks for watching!

[@mania7927]

@Hanna Ebeling Thanks, can you run ads in tier 1? And do you mean category when you say products when talking about slots?

[@hannahebeling]

Tier one typically doesn’t have access to ads. And by slots I mean the number of designs that you can have uploaded.

[@mania7927]

@@hannahebeling Then what did you mean when you said 8 designs must be original? and that cannot be divided into 600 products?

[@Cup-t9l]

You are amazing, thx

[@cerebrumexcrement]

i keep hearing about this program but when i go on amazon to look for printed tees, i can never find anything. its just the basic color block boring a55 chinese imported clothes. even the amazon fashion showcase are all if not most chinese brands. i cant find a decent american brand on there. wth.

[@hannahebeling]

If you look for almost any kind of t-shirt (like nurse shirt), most of the results that pop up are part of the Amazon merch program. The giveaway is usually a really basic mock-up.

[@generalnewsense5264]

it says I'm Tier 10 but it says I can only create 2 products per day, what am I doing wrong?

[@N14F14]

If I used Canva for my designs, would it be copyright free and safe to use?

[@Bea-q6v]

no

[@MarkMcKittrick]

Random question: has anyone "tiered" up in a LONG time? I haven't tiered up in 6 months. My slots are full. I'm tier 100 and have sold about 400 items (200 were this month alone). But i have to consistently delete art that hasn't had a chance to sell because I want to upload something new due to no slots. Is my account stuck? I've contacted them but its useless. I get the same response whether I spell out my problem to them or if I ask them where the closest McDonalds is. It makes no difference. I get the same responses no matter how many times I reach out which is a general message that tells me nothing. So if anyone has any advice or can at least say when they last "tiered" up, that would be helpful. Thanks guys!

[@mehmoodsani6875]

i got tiered automatically from 25 to 1000. i also did not make any sales.

[@4xTrades]

I’m “tearing up” cause I didn’t know about this program until now… 😅

[@secrethustler]

I made over the 60 sales and still not tiered up. 😢

[@deemanga324]

Hannah a question. I am in tier 10. With 10 t shit designs only. Can I enable all products for each of my 10 designs?

[@hannahebeling]

Great question! Yes, you can, but it will count towards one of your daily uploads. I always suggest getting 10 standard t-shirts up first, and then going back in and editing those listings to add to more products later.

[@mohammedabushaban5816]

​@@hannahebelingOK Hannah, if I'm in tier 10 and I made 10 designs and put each one on 3 different products so in total 30 products, in this case will the Amazon customers be able to see my products or still I need to bring buyers frome outside?

[@Daisys-Place]

I have seen conflicting opinions. Here is the question. I am a nonprofit. Does a nonprofit have to pay the monthly fee to sell customized merch? Thank you

[@hannahebeling]

Hmm. I’m actually not sure on this one. I’m thinking yes, because Amazon does not let you say that “proceeds go to (blank) either,” because there is no way for them to verify.

[@Daisys-Place]

@@hannahebeling Ok Thank you
