Merch By Amazon Approval – How To Get Approved Quickly – Earnologist

 So during the fairly short sign up process, you will see the sign-up form which should look like this – nothing special to look at but it contains 3 opportunities to speed up your acceptance.

Organization Name: Not really that important – you can just use your own name, a made-up business name or if you actually have a business, drop the name in here. There’s not a lot you can do here to speed things up.

Industry Type: Select the relevant option but ideally you should be choosing “Novelty T-Shirt Business” as this tends to be what sells in the Amazon Merch sphere. Are Amazon going to quickly open a slot up to you if you’re just promoting a low-level brand (musician, local business etc.)? Probably not because if you’re focusing on a single brand, your options for designs are very limited and MBA is most certainly a numbers game – the more t-shirts you create, the more that sell and the more money Amazon earn from you and let’s face it, Amazon is in it for the money, and rightly so!

Website: If you have a quality website that either showcase artistic ability in general, t-shirt sales, online marketing or even a non-related high traffic website (more on this in additional information) drop it in here. This will set you ahead of the crowd and either show quality design experience, ability to market well and most importantly you have an existing platform on which to market your t-shirts. If you do not already have a website consider setting one up prior to applying to Amazon Merch.

Additional Information: This is your time to shine! If you added a website above, make sure to reference it here and state how you will leverage it to increase t-shirt sales. If you have associated social media accounts, again reference them and make sure you clearly explain your intent to push your designs out to a large audience. Any previous design and SEO experience should also be listed here and definitely mention your previous forays into POD with well-known sites such as Redbubble. Think of this as a very, very short interview – cram as much positive information about yourself as possible and really make yourself look like the ideal “candidate”.
