Tier 10 Amazon Merch Sellers: Should You Buy Your Own Shirts?

Ryan would you make an updated video?

I think it's possible that one reason tier 500 or 1000 might take longer, as in the case of Ryan's girlfriend, is because that's when you can qualify for their ad platform, and integrating that may take an extra step of approval or processing internally for Amazon. Just a thought.

Great tips, thanks!

Thanks for the course I had thought pretty much about everything you explained but didn't think about dropping the price buying then raising and why it matters with Amazon's percentage 👍

I just got my account approved, and it does seem like I'm in purgatory 😆, BUT--I'm trying to stay positive and realize that they do it this way to teach us the basics. It's like cheating on a test. Sure, you might get a good grade, but then you're going to get hammered when finals come along. So I'd rather be stuck at Tier 10 and learn how to do it right than cheat my way to the next tier. Just my two cents. Thanks for the great video!

its not about buying your shirts or not it about how many sales y'll made to tiered up and how long it take to tiered up for example i have more than 100 sales and i've been waiting more than 6 months and till now i didn't tired up to tier 25

Love the tips and suggestions! Thank you

In my experience, I had my sisters buy 1 t shirt of the same design, and leave a review. I noticed that specific design is the only tshirt I've sold.

Thanks for your videos! I watch you all the time.
I have been uploading different designs to Amazon for two months now, but there is not a single sale. Tried different strategies. I set the prices to the minimum, but still no sales. What can you advise?

Do it… whatever it takes to get you on your way of getting out of Tier 10!

How do you enable the cha-Ching noise?

Quick question: I am at level 10. Amazon took the liberty of creating listings for my designs in different languages so now I have a total of 67 designs out here. Amazon is saying I have reached my limit so my question do I need to delete at least 58 of these designs out here or what is the deal? Sorry if my question doesn't make sense or if you already covered this. Thanks!

I am against buying my own products, because they do not give you time to gain sales experience, so the possibility of making mistakes in the future remains, mistakes that may cost you your account, which has reached higher tiers.

Ryan, thanks so much for this video. I have a question - I’m new to Amazon merch and in tier 10 and after designing a shirt and it was live, I searched for it and used the same description in my listing and looked through all the pages of search results and couldn’t even find my shirt. What’s up with that?

I don't know about Amazon... I kinda lost my motivation. RedBubble and Spreadshirt are super profitable already and while I make 3 digits there after a year of POD, I'm still in T10 on Amazon, although I sold about 40-50 products. Just wanted to know if someone is/was in a similar situation. What did you do?

thanks for amazing video.
I have 14 sales and still in tier 10.

I'm still in tier 10. I've sold 13 shirts from 10 designs and I have all my slots filled. 2 months have passed and I'm still making the occasional shirt sale, but still Amazon hasn't tiered me up yet. They did, however, allow me to increase my upload slots from 1 design per day to 2 designs, but that doesn't do me much good with only 10 upload slots available.

hello Ryan
I don't know but i think the tire up algorithm is taking more factors than we can think about. I'm on tire 10, have had 76 sales for one t-shirt over the cours of the month of February still stuck in tire 10. Also when i started having those sales i saw some friends getting similar design rejected so i simply removed the listing to keep my account in a healthy state. not sure if that one of the reasons why i didn't tire up to 25 or 100. any thoughts on that ?

I didn't buy my own shirts. Sold total 94 shirts and I'm still on T10 waiting forever to tiered up. Anyway, thx for the tut video.
