Hey Hannah. I’ve been doing Merch for 5 years. Occasionally I’ll go to RU-vid for reminders and inspiration. There’s a lot of junk out there, but having viewed three or four of your videos I can honestly say that you’re bringing great value. Keep it up!

@hannahebeling 2 года назад

This means so much to me! Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment. It’s definitely scary starting a new channel, but it makes me want to keep sharing when I hear feedback like this-especially from someone who’s been doing merch longer than myself!

I'm always searching for ways to become successful as a beginner seller on Etsy cause I wasn't approved for Amazon :( I've loved every video I've watched of yours, specially the one where you mention to not spend too much time trying to create unique designs that could take hours, which is what I was doing, but I'm learning not to lol Thank you!

@hannahebeling Год назад

So glad you’ve found something helpful! Thank you so much for your encouragement and comment! Wishing you all the best in your pod business!

@mayak.1828 Год назад

Hannah, I just got approved a couple of days ago, and jumped in with both feet, just uploading some designs that *I* love. Now that I've watched this video, I'm wondering if two things: 1. Should I only be creating designs for ONE niche? Your example with the DIY woman niche - do you never put any other designs in that shop? My challenge is that I have SO many niche ideas - would you suggest creating a different merch account for each of these niche ideas? Like how do you branch out from one niche into multiple niches? 2. My first few designs have already been approved and are live, but they are not all in one niche: some are kiddie T-shirts, and others are fun tote bags. Would you recommend removing all of them and starting again, focused on just one niche and just T-shirts? Or did you mean one niche and one product type? Or??? Thanks for any insights. And a giant thank you for starting this channel and sharing what you're learning! I was going to just go buy my own merch as gifts for family and friends (based on one of your more recent videos that I watched yesterday!), but this idea of actually picking a niche and promoting it and getting organic sales makes MUCH more sense, now that I'm thinking about it. So, yeah, thank you so much! 😍

@hannahebeling Год назад

Thanks so much for watching and congrats on getting accepted! If you do want to go the social media route, I’ve found it very hard to promote multiple different niches on one Instagram. I think you just don’t find the right audience always. I think for each “brand” you create, it’s best to have at least 4 designs. You could certainly do another niche store, or just leave the items you have up for 30-60 days and if they don’t sell in that timeframe, switch them out with something new.

@mayak.1828 Год назад

@@hannahebeling Thanks for the quick response! So: one merch account with multiple brands (one per niche)? Or one merch account per niche? :D Sorry, I'm just so new and don't quite know what I'm doing here! And yes, I've already learned from my social media experiments that it's one IG account per niche. Just trying to figure out the AMZ side of things now. So, suppose I want to do kiddie shirts and say wedding shirts - 2 IG accounts, yes, but do I also need 2 merch accounts? I *think* it's just one merch account with multiple brands under it - yes? After having binge-watched every single one of your videos so far (keep 'em coming, they're EXCELLENT!) I think I'm going to have to step back delete my current designs, do some research, pick a micro-niche and upload some different designs focused on one single niche, especially if I want to get out of Tier 10 quickly!

@hannahebeling Год назад

Thanks so much! I think you may have mentioned that you found this answer in another video, but you just need one merch account. By filling out a different phrase in the "brand" section during uploading, you'll create new pages for each of the items that share that same brand phrase. It's confusing to explain, but easy once you do it the first time.

@mayak.1828 Год назад

@@hannahebeling Yes, that other video of yours really helped! I was thinking I needed to create one brand and put everything in there, but you pointed out the flaw there: that just makes it easy for someone to scoop up everything you make under that brand! So the idea of multiple brands under one merch account makes perfect sense now! 😍🙏

Wow! So many rules and variables w Amazon merch. I might just stick to Printify.

Either are great choices! Amazon is much more passive than Etsy, but you have to play by their rules.

@hannahebeling 2 года назад

Great question! I’d definitely get on merch by Amazon first and then quickly start trying to diversify the platforms I was on, probably Etsy next and then redbubble and teepublic. Like I talk about in my tier 10 video, I’d probably start making a social media account too to help be a sales funnel for some of my designs and to get out of tier 10 fast.

@niceice07 2 года назад

I've heard several other creators talk about merch informer but this is the absolute best step-by-step tutorial on how to use it I've found. I've been using some of the free features for the past year but this made me want the pro account. I wish I would have seen this before buying Pretty Merch Pro+

@hannahebeling 2 года назад

That is so kind of you! I definitely love Merch Informer and it’s been solely what I’ve used for a little over two years. I haven’t experimented with Pretty Merch Pro+ yet, but I think it would be really cool to do a side-by-side comparison in the future, as I’m sure they both have great features. If you ever do want to try out Merch Informer, the coupon code in my bio will get you 20% off. Best of luck to you, Lisa!

Hi Hannah! Thanks for the videos! Who do you use or is best to use as a printer for ETSY, EBAY, SHOPIFY etc? Printly? Printify?

@hannahebeling Год назад

For Etsy, I personally use and love printify since they are priced very low, have tons of products and great quality. I have a full tutorial on how to integrate with your Etsy shop here on my channel.

@MoonHutMusic Год назад

Thank you so explaining this. I have a question, the number of products that competition checker gives does not match the number of products when I type the same phrase into Amazon. Where do they get the number?

@hannahebeling Год назад

MI uses their own data method to calculate these numbers, but this video is also almost a year old, so many more products may have been added during that time too.

@helensmith945 Год назад

@melissaweisman3918 2 года назад

Would you use Merch Informer for Etsy's too?

@hannahebeling 2 года назад

Great question! I think merch informer could be a great starting place for Etsy too, but you just have to keep in mind that the shoppers on Etsy are a little different-often looking for a more boutique, custom looking designs. However, I know many of the same niches do well across both platforms.

@lorenzozampetti6653 Год назад

Thanks for sharing these precious information Hannah. I have a question though. Can I use Merch informer to understand whether a niche might be profitable even on Etsy? Or is it a tool that I should be using only if I want to sell products on Amazon Merch? Thank you

@hannahebeling Год назад

Great question! I have a tool linked down in the description called sale samurai that is made specifically for Etsy sellers. I definitely have used merch informer to find great niches for Etsy too, but if you are mainly selling there, I’d recommend SS. (I also have a tutorial on my channel).

@lorenzozampetti6653 Год назад

Back again. Just put cat into competition checker and it gave a total of 137 products online and 123 products with BSR. This is so far off its ridiculous

@hannahebeling Год назад

Sometimes if you refresh the page or login again that helps to “reset” everything to get more accurate results.

@susanevans7766 Год назад

What's really weird is that when I put "first time grandma" in, the competition checker tells me that there's 11 total products online and only 19 with BSR. Not the insane amount of products that came up in your video which was only 4 months ago. Not sure where the thousands of other products went. I did it exactly like you did

Thanks for getting back Hannah. Love your videos. I did refresh. Went out and came back in, plus went in cognito mode. Nothing changed. When I first signed up I was having trouble with the copyright check and sent them a ticket. They told me to try it in incognito mode. Didn't help. I guess I'll put in another ticket. Maybe I just need to delete and upload it again. I don't know.

Hi Hannah, I watch all of your videos and you’re great but I’m beyond frustrated. I’m a single mom and an artist which just doesn’t pay the rent. I believe I’m pretty good at designing and creating as well as color and I’ve been doing the research, but I suck at social media marketing. I do not know how to sell myself and I’m drowning while trying to make POD work for me. Can you help me with figuring out how to market my shop and myself?

@hannahebeling 2 года назад

Thank you so much for your support and kind words! I can imagine how frustrating that would be. If you are trying to sell through social media, I think good mockups make all the difference even if you don't really have great captions to go with them. I know there are several shops on etsy that sell them, but I use and love Placeit because they make making mockups super user friendly and have a lot of good options. Wishing you all the best of luck.

@hebbiederman Год назад

Hi Hannah, thanks for your video. Question for you: Let's say a niche I plug into merch informer gets an A, can't that just mean that there's not a lot of competition? How would I know if people are actually searching for that niche?

@hannahebeling Год назад

The grade is actually based on competition and sales. So something might be good to pursue even if it had tons of items but still made thousands of sales a day.

@johncraig4407 Год назад

Hannah, sorry for commenting on one of your older videos, but I have a question about Merch Informer. I was just following along with you in the video and I have found there to be a huge discrepancy between your search results and mine. When you searched Yoga, it gave a grade of F with roughly 38K (or so) products. When I do the search it gives me an "A" grade with 44 total products online? My results clearly are not accurate, and wondered if you might know why I am getting these results? Anyway, love the Vids....keep it up. John
