| 00:00:12 | 00:00:15 | you have running through your head if |
| 00:00:13 | 00:00:17 | you're debating whether or not you |
| 00:00:15 | 00:00:18 | should start your own merge by Amazon |
| 00:00:17 | 00:00:21 | business now let me tell you before you |
| 00:00:18 | 00:00:23 | even get in the video i'm ecommerce |
| 00:00:21 | 00:00:26 | online selling it's always changing now |
| 00:00:23 | 00:00:27 | with change there comes two different |
| 00:00:26 | 00:00:30 | options you can select those the first |
| 00:00:27 | 00:00:32 | option which means you do not change you |
| 00:00:30 | 00:00:34 | stay with the same methods the same |
| 00:00:32 | 00:00:36 | strategies you know the same tools and |
| 00:00:34 | 00:00:37 | you don't you know invest in you so if |
| 00:00:36 | 00:00:39 | you don't invest in something that |
| 00:00:37 | 00:00:40 | everybody else is having success with |
| 00:00:39 | 00:00:43 | you know the market is moving towards |
| 00:00:40 | 00:00:45 | you know it's the future of whatever it |
| 00:00:43 | 00:00:47 | is you know if you just stay the same |
| 00:00:45 | 00:00:49 | you're gonna fall down the wrong path |
| 00:00:47 | 00:00:51 | you're not gonna be able to scale and |
| 00:00:49 | 00:00:54 | everybody else that has adapted is gonna |
| 00:00:51 | 00:00:56 | pass you now the second choice is just |
| 00:00:54 | 00:00:58 | adapt you know change to whatever the |
| 00:00:56 | 00:01:00 | market is you know do the different |
| 00:00:58 | 00:01:02 | strategies use the different tools and |
| 00:01:00 | 00:01:04 | do whatever you can to stay on top of |
| 00:01:02 | 00:01:06 | your competition so you boom you're |
| 00:01:04 | 00:01:08 | ready to go whatever time of the year so |
| 00:01:06 | 00:01:10 | you can outsell your competition now |
| 00:01:08 | 00:01:13 | back to merge by Amazon the actual |
| 00:01:10 | 00:01:15 | playing field for merged Amazon was so |
| 00:01:13 | 00:01:18 | much more different two years ago so um |
| 00:01:15 | 00:01:20 | just kind of recap where I was in my |
| 00:01:18 | 00:01:23 | career so I was selling on eBay and |
| 00:01:20 | 00:01:24 | Amazon at the time and I've been |
| 00:01:23 | 00:01:26 | watching a lot of YouTube videos and |
| 00:01:24 | 00:01:28 | someone mentioned this program called |
| 00:01:26 | 00:01:29 | merge of Amazon so I ended up doing a |
| 00:01:28 | 00:01:31 | little bit of research and it sounded |
| 00:01:29 | 00:01:34 | like a great opportunity for me so this |
| 00:01:31 | 00:01:37 | is about two years ago and you know it |
| 00:01:34 | 00:01:39 | was still a very very new platform I |
| 00:01:37 | 00:01:41 | think I was accepted within you know one |
| 00:01:39 | 00:01:44 | or two weeks which is fairly quickly |
| 00:01:41 | 00:01:46 | boom I had my storefront up I could list |
| 00:01:44 | 00:01:48 | 25 t-shirts and I started outsourcing |
| 00:01:46 | 00:01:51 | t-shirts I started putting designs up |
| 00:01:48 | 00:01:53 | and what I saw is once you have a design |
| 00:01:51 | 00:01:55 | that was you know a hot seller was |
| 00:01:53 | 00:01:57 | selling you know multiple times |
| 00:01:55 | 00:01:59 | throughout the day people would find you |
| 00:01:57 | 00:02:01 | know the BSR of that item and they would |
| 00:01:59 | 00:02:03 | just copy your design so what would |
| 00:02:01 | 00:02:04 | happen is if there is one best-selling |
| 00:02:03 | 00:02:06 | design you know three or four other |
| 00:02:04 | 00:02:08 | sellers would come on and sell that |
| 00:02:06 | 00:02:10 | exact same design now this is still at |
| 00:02:08 | 00:02:13 | the beginning stages you know of march |
| 00:02:10 | 00:02:14 | miami sonya the |
| 00:02:13 | 00:02:16 | you know the restrictions you know |
| 00:02:14 | 00:02:17 | weren't too you know strict people |
| 00:02:16 | 00:02:19 | weren't really you know flagging yet and |
| 00:02:17 | 00:02:21 | Amazon didn't really know how to deal |
| 00:02:19 | 00:02:23 | with all these copyright issues and it |
| 00:02:21 | 00:02:25 | was just a huge mess whoever also at |
| 00:02:23 | 00:02:27 | that time any t-shirt you would put up |
| 00:02:25 | 00:02:28 | was most likely selling if your design |
| 00:02:27 | 00:02:30 | was really unique |
| 00:02:28 | 00:02:32 | it really just stood out because I mean |
| 00:02:30 | 00:02:34 | there weren't many sellers on there and |
| 00:02:32 | 00:02:36 | I remember I had 25 t-shirt designs up |
| 00:02:34 | 00:02:38 | you know I probably sold you know 9 or |
| 00:02:36 | 00:02:40 | 10 of those designs probably within the |
| 00:02:38 | 00:02:42 | first week and then before you knew it |
| 00:02:40 | 00:02:44 | through the leaks later I was up to the |
| 00:02:42 | 00:02:45 | next year then I was close to the next |
| 00:02:44 | 00:02:47 | year and I just kept working my way up |
| 00:02:45 | 00:02:49 | you know playing with different price |
| 00:02:47 | 00:02:51 | points but it was just a total different |
| 00:02:49 | 00:02:54 | playing field two years ago than what it |
| 00:02:51 | 00:02:56 | is currently fast forward to today it's |
| 00:02:54 | 00:02:59 | a little bit harder to start getting |
| 00:02:56 | 00:03:00 | started for instance the waiting times |
| 00:02:59 | 00:03:02 | to get accepted into the program are |
| 00:03:00 | 00:03:04 | really everywhere I've heard some people |
| 00:03:02 | 00:03:06 | are getting in within a week or two and |
| 00:03:04 | 00:03:08 | some people is taking three or four |
| 00:03:06 | 00:03:10 | months to get accept and now they're |
| 00:03:08 | 00:03:13 | having so many applicants there being a |
| 00:03:10 | 00:03:15 | lot more selective when it comes to |
| 00:03:13 | 00:03:16 | actually selecting different people to |
| 00:03:15 | 00:03:19 | join they're looking for people to |
| 00:03:16 | 00:03:21 | either have me maybe past experience |
| 00:03:19 | 00:03:23 | selling t-shirts online people that |
| 00:03:21 | 00:03:24 | already have you know designs ready or |
| 00:03:23 | 00:03:26 | go to graphic design they're not looking |
| 00:03:24 | 00:03:28 | for just anybody and everybody they're |
| 00:03:26 | 00:03:29 | wanting people are gonna provide value |
| 00:03:28 | 00:03:32 | and ultimately make them more money |
| 00:03:29 | 00:03:36 | through their print on demand service |
| 00:03:32 | 00:03:38 | now is merch by Amazon hard now maybe |
| 00:03:36 | 00:03:41 | has the landscape changed on March by |
| 00:03:38 | 00:03:42 | Amazon yes so this shouldn't be anything |
| 00:03:41 | 00:03:44 | worrying to you I mean this is gonna |
| 00:03:42 | 00:03:46 | happen in any business model on any |
| 00:03:44 | 00:03:48 | platform that you ever do within your |
| 00:03:46 | 00:03:50 | lifetime things are always going to |
| 00:03:48 | 00:03:52 | change that's an opportunity for you to |
| 00:03:50 | 00:03:54 | take advantage of that change and to be |
| 00:03:52 | 00:03:55 | one of the first people on there one of |
| 00:03:54 | 00:03:57 | the people that are standing out one of |
| 00:03:55 | 00:03:59 | the people that providing more value and |
| 00:03:57 | 00:04:01 | in return and in the long term you're |
| 00:03:59 | 00:04:02 | gonna be the successful one why |
| 00:04:01 | 00:04:04 | everybody else is using the same |
| 00:04:02 | 00:04:06 | strategies that worked a year ago but |
| 00:04:04 | 00:04:08 | now to current day they don't work as |
| 00:04:06 | 00:04:10 | well and the new strategies that people |
| 00:04:08 | 00:04:12 | are implementing are now taking over the |
| 00:04:10 | 00:04:14 | marketplace making themselves a lot more |
| 00:04:12 | 00:04:16 | money now you're probably wondering you |
| 00:04:14 | 00:04:19 | know is merch by Amazon dead the answer |
| 00:04:16 | 00:04:20 | is you know no I mean it's a little bit |
| 00:04:19 | 00:04:22 | different you know things gonna be a |
| 00:04:20 | 00:04:23 | little bit harder it's gonna be a little |
| 00:04:22 | 00:04:26 | bit hard to get accepted there's going |
| 00:04:23 | 00:04:27 | to be more competition but you just have |
| 00:04:26 | 00:04:28 | to find different ways |
| 00:04:27 | 00:04:30 | standout with unique designs and |
| 00:04:28 | 00:04:33 | Amazonas on if you copy |
| 00:04:30 | 00:04:36 | anyone's design any bit close you know |
| 00:04:33 | 00:04:37 | same color you know same wording you're |
| 00:04:36 | 00:04:41 | gonna get flagged and if you get enough |
| 00:04:37 | 00:04:42 | flags on your you know account you're |
| 00:04:41 | 00:04:43 | gonna get their suspended or terminate |
| 00:04:42 | 00:04:45 | so that's something you don't want to do |
| 00:04:43 | 00:04:47 | you know I just looked up entrepreneur |
| 00:04:45 | 00:04:49 | t-shirt and I don't see one t-shirt that |
| 00:04:47 | 00:04:51 | has a similar thing other than maybe |
| 00:04:49 | 00:04:53 | this t-shirt right here but obviously |
| 00:04:51 | 00:04:55 | they can't copyright that phrase but |
| 00:04:53 | 00:04:57 | they change you know different color you |
| 00:04:55 | 00:04:59 | know different fonts so it's different |
| 00:04:57 | 00:05:01 | but you see there's no t-shirts on here |
| 00:04:59 | 00:05:03 | that are being copied you know there's |
| 00:05:01 | 00:05:05 | no two t-shirts that are the same and |
| 00:05:03 | 00:05:06 | there's a reason for that Amazon has |
| 00:05:05 | 00:05:08 | really come on to that so if you're |
| 00:05:06 | 00:05:10 | really worried about people copying your |
| 00:05:08 | 00:05:12 | artwork it should not be a problem and |
| 00:05:10 | 00:05:14 | that that leaves a big opportunity for |
| 00:05:12 | 00:05:16 | the people that actually take time in |
| 00:05:14 | 00:05:17 | making really quality you know really |
| 00:05:16 | 00:05:19 | unique designs because you're gonna |
| 00:05:17 | 00:05:21 | stand out if you take you know that CEO |
| 00:05:19 | 00:05:23 | design and you make something you know |
| 00:05:21 | 00:05:25 | super unique and maybe add another you |
| 00:05:23 | 00:05:27 | know money or something below it that's |
| 00:05:25 | 00:05:28 | an opportunity to be able to out sell |
| 00:05:27 | 00:05:30 | you know your competition maybe charge a |
| 00:05:28 | 00:05:32 | higher price point as you can see the |
| 00:05:30 | 00:05:34 | price points are kind of everywhere you |
| 00:05:32 | 00:05:38 | know there's some $19.99 16.99 |
| 00:05:34 | 00:05:41 | I mean $21.99 just some basic designs |
| 00:05:38 | 00:05:42 | but that's just what I wanted to show |
| 00:05:41 | 00:05:45 | you real quick about how the playing |
| 00:05:42 | 00:05:47 | field is kind of changed since where it |
| 00:05:45 | 00:05:50 | was two years ago so when it comes down |
| 00:05:47 | 00:05:53 | to the question of the video is March by |
| 00:05:50 | 00:05:55 | Amazon Dead and my personal opinion it's |
| 00:05:53 | 00:05:57 | not sure maybe it's got a little bit |
| 00:05:55 | 00:05:59 | more competitive maybe there's just some |
| 00:05:57 | 00:06:01 | more sellers but that leaves you with |
| 00:05:59 | 00:06:03 | the mindset that you need to find a way |
| 00:06:01 | 00:06:06 | to stand out you need to think outside |
| 00:06:03 | 00:06:09 | the box when you know selecting you know |
| 00:06:06 | 00:06:11 | t-shirt colors you know with your price |
| 00:06:09 | 00:06:15 | points with your know a big thing is |
| 00:06:11 | 00:06:17 | your title I mean your title is is huge |
| 00:06:15 | 00:06:18 | if you have a really good title and you |
| 00:06:17 | 00:06:20 | know bullet points see they're not |
| 00:06:18 | 00:06:22 | they're barely using their bullet points |
| 00:06:20 | 00:06:23 | check out this awesome design if you can |
| 00:06:22 | 00:06:26 | find a way to know write a really |
| 00:06:23 | 00:06:28 | descriptive title a bullet points that |
| 00:06:26 | 00:06:30 | you know sells the design sells the |
| 00:06:28 | 00:06:32 | t-shirt to your customer as well as a |
| 00:06:30 | 00:06:34 | description of your item you're not |
| 00:06:32 | 00:06:35 | gonna have a problem competing with all |
| 00:06:34 | 00:06:37 | these other people because most people |
| 00:06:35 | 00:06:39 | just make a decent design they're |
| 00:06:37 | 00:06:40 | probably outsourcing it unless riding it |
| 00:06:39 | 00:06:42 | with my business whenever |
| 00:06:40 | 00:06:44 | you can do it yourself if you're a |
| 00:06:42 | 00:06:45 | graphic designer or you can outsource it |
| 00:06:44 | 00:06:48 | but I highly recommend you focus on |
| 00:06:45 | 00:06:50 | finding a way to be unique within your |
| 00:06:48 | 00:06:52 | market so if you're wanting to make an |
| 00:06:50 | 00:06:54 | entrepreneur t-shirt make sure it's |
| 00:06:52 | 00:06:56 | something unique make sure the text the |
| 00:06:54 | 00:06:58 | color the design is something that |
| 00:06:56 | 00:07:00 | people haven't seen before and something |
| 00:06:58 | 00:07:01 | that people might want to purchase so |
| 00:07:00 | 00:07:03 | you have an opportunity to go and |
| 00:07:01 | 00:07:05 | compete in that market even with a |
| 00:07:03 | 00:07:07 | higher price point that's it for this |
| 00:07:05 | 00:07:10 | video hopefully you guys like the little |
| 00:07:07 | 00:07:12 | bit of an explanation of you know kind |
| 00:07:10 | 00:07:14 | of the current merch by Amazon platform |
