A business isn't a way to get rich fast. A business is simply when you learn to do these 3 things really well:
1) Creating or finding great products/services to sell.
2) Putting those products in front of the right customers.
3) Giving those customers a great reason to buy.
And each person will have their own journey to get there with a LOT of hard work & sacrifices along the way 💪👊
On this channel, we discuss all topics for ecommerce business owners (with a sprinkle of motivation thrown in too)!
* Case studies on successful ecommerce stores.
* Tutorials for apps & online tools.
* Low-cost, beginner-friendly product sourcing methods (such as Print On Demand & Dropshipping).
* Sales psychology tactics to increase conversions & get customers to buy from you & to click on your ads.
* Videos to help you with the "legal stuff" (creating refund policies, setting up taxes, etc).
So if you are someone who is building (or want to build) a REAL business (especially with ecommerce) & want to follow channels with actionable content to help you along your journey & make your store even better, subscribe today! 🔥

*Every family has a person who breaks the chain of poverty. I hope you will be that person!!*
I think she already has ... she's a source of INSPIRATION and ENCOURAGEMENT to others who are doing their best to do just that!
I try be that person
I'm the only one in my family who has yet to break that chain, but I keep trying!
Still working on it. Thank you
God bless you 🙌
If you are going to buy your own merch, next time find a few famous Tik Tokers who have P.O. boxes. Send them a shirt that matches their style for free and maybe, just maybe, if one of them features the merch in an unboxing or wears it in one of their videos, you probably could pick up a few more sales.
@Michael we call this an influencer marketing
Awesome Joshua! Never thought of that. Very good advice!
Shrewd, i like it

Hi Sarah, thank you for your honesty. I appreciate it when you openly talk about your failures.
Thanks Sarah! This is great information when I'm ready to expand (current ecom clubhouse member growing and working out kinks on first shop) ;-). Your videos always get me PUMPED UP!!
This review is a rare gem, highlighting various pain-points in the process which is realistic. Sarah deserves more subscribers for her honest, down-to-earth reviews. Most 'get-rich' schemes are usually lop-sided reviews.
Lob sided
Great video Sarah. You are fortunate to have the resources of time and money (and skills) to do an experiment like this one. I think your talent with making videos and presentation AND your sharp analysis of business opportunities AND your obvious business smarts is FAR more valuable to any of your viewers, than any of the designs or services that were sold to you by the Fiver "artists" who appeared to have simply used copies of typical/common designs. From what I can see, many you tubers may pitch "get rich quick" ideas, or make "how to POD" videos, but they don't have the sharp eye, business savvy, and skills you have. That's why I subscribed to your channel. Keep up the good work!
Sarah, I've been following you for a while. You've been consistent and I admire that. Consistency is my hardest task. The follow up that you do is amazing. Keep smiling like you always do!❤
Love your honesty throughout the video. Many content creators falsely make it look like they were successful for the clicks. I watched all the way thru and was relieved when you were honest, shared what you thought could prove to make it work (unique designs), and followed that up with your wisdom. Nice job! and thanks for sharing
Yes many times the title and over-hype is to get views for their own channel. It's just them creating entertainment for false hope. I appreciate this lady much more being honest about her experience.
Thank You for walking us through this and for your honesty. I'm a beginner and I'm looking for some work from home alternatives. There are many people on here who claim that it's really effortless to make loads of money on here not that is not true. That is why I joined your channel. You seem more honest than most.
That was AMAZING. And also the simplest explanation of Amazon Merch. I am encouraged. Thank You 🙏
You either win or you learn, both are equally valuable. Thanks for the breakdown
Queenn1 is my favorite Fiverr t-shirt designer! So nice to see her gig in your video!
I really love this video! Thanks for trying out the experiment and pointing out the pitfalls of taking the easy way out in online business. Great video 👍
Thanks for posting this video Sarah, very clear and illustrative. I think this video really helps show that if you want to create a successful (and hopefully sustainable) stream of income, you have to find a genuine gap in the market and serve the customers in that niche something of real value. Throwing money at "out of the box" sellers on Fiverr and spending little or no effort selling copy cat designs into a saturated marketplace is not really going to net a decent (or any) return. The amount effort you are willing to put in is generally in direct proportion to your success. And Amazon doesn't care - it makes money in aggregate of the 100,000s of sellers uploading...
Great Video! Your honesty and integrity on this experiment was spot on and you've uncovered a passive income method that I have never heard of before yet, also opened the doors to other possible routes ripe for exploration! Thank you for taking the time posting this eye opening content!
That was a great video. Thanks for spending money on the shirts to test the theory. That might have been a pain for you, but gold for your subscribers!
Actually its a tax write off for her. It's kind of like her being her own Research and Development team.
Great experiment. Thanks for all the good info. I would like to see a follow up video in a month or so and see how sales are.
Great tutorial and experiment. I love how you explain and provide training. Very engaging and pleasant to watch. Thanks for sharing!
Wow how sneaky Sarah 😂 here’s a diamond like for your hard work 👍 💎
Sarah. it has been 1 week i have been watching your videos. I really love your content and because they are full of Facts that others don't tell us. Thank you so much
You're so genuinely unique and goofy - it's great. Stay you! And keep up the awesome content.
Thank you for doing what you did. That's pretty awesome of you!
An absolutely stunning video , every single detail was made accurately , this is something must people need to follow in order to be ready for what’s to come in the future
Thanks for your honesty. Most TH-cam "guru's" try to only show you their successes and make the process seem like it's so easy. However, once tried and applied, results are not the same...
Thank you for being our POD Guinea pig! Your videos are very inspiring and helpful!
I was depressed before I discovered ur videos. It's just the perfect amount of sunshine to add to my other side hustle as a podcaster. I've lost some of my closest friends these last 2.5 years. I loved what you shared about ur own struggles and the hedonic treadmill. It's so true, we always return to baseline. 😃
Thanks for all the fabulous videos Sarah!! 🎉
Love all your videos, one of my favorite channels to watch you give great information! Thank you
I think you are the only person i see who is very honest in this social media platform. Thank you for being honest
I love your video and your enthusiastic honesty. I'm sure that with unique design/s, many people can and will make lots of revenue selling merch on Amazon.
Thanks so much for doing this Sarah, I was doing 😱 as you were going through all of that and having to buy your own tshirt listings 😂 but this was a very powerful example! I'm definitely trying to do the same as that artist did for my niche!👌🏼
Thank you for sharing this. I'm a newbie in freelancing and I really wanted to get more into doing things for passive income. More blessings to you Sarah! Love from the Philippines!
Thanks, Sara, for this interesting video. Thank you, Sara, for sharing what you have learned.
Well, this was an eye-opener, Sarah. Thank you for your honesty.
Thanks for the honest video!
Testing testing testing👍🏾
Thank you. I have wanted to make some T shirts on a theme for a while now but am clueless to design. I’d heard of Fiver but didn’t know you could get designs made fairly cheaply. I’m off to take a look.
Shame your experiment didn’t work but if you leave them up on Amazon maybe one day one will take off!
I'm disabled trying to make a nice passive income.. ted I being following you. Im ready 🙏🙏💜
Updates bro?
Would love to see a video on how you manage business expenses and taxes if you can. Love your videos, you're such an inspiration!
Love your videos Sarah. Wish I could be like you and do other things in life.🙂
Thank you for sharing!!! Love your channel ❤️
Such a good video! Pleaaase do more videos like this 👍🏻 for example on dropshipping or where you create an Etsy store from scratch
Thank you for that insight!! Very interesting!! 🌸
I love your videos. Super informative and really helpful :)
So glad I found you ! A real person ✨👏🙏- The bist ❗️
I think in order to move to the next level you need to have maxed your product submissions AND sell up to your tier. I'm on the 500 tier but have sold more than 3000 products (over a few years) but only have 136 published products so my daily limit is 25 and have not been bumped to higher tiers yet. I'm just really slow since I choose to make all the artwork myself 😅
Not a bad thing really if you are satisfied with amount of sales.
Congratulations Millie that is fantastic!
From what I've seen people discuss there are a lot of mixed ideas on what is/isn't needed to move up the tiers, I'm surprised Amazon isn't more transparent over this issue (???)
From what I had read going into the experiment, you needed to have at least 80% of your designs threshold reached plus the right amount of sales, to bump up a tier. But clearly you don't need to move up anyway!
@@mirisoji8406 Hi Millie, How do U protect your "Creative Ideas" from being taken IF you do All your own artwork / designs ?
@@sandroswann1 Copyright ownership.
i clicked to see this 500$ fiverr experience you had, but you also gave me along the way a tutorial for MBA! and without clickbating me to it!
that's what i call a good video!
Thanks for sharing your wisdom and knowledge. You are the best!
Thank you Sarah for doing that experiment. Was really hoping that would have worked out.
I hope you keep us updated on how these continue to sell for you over time. I would imagine everyone has slow sales in the beginning until some of the designs can get traction & reviews.
It's possible you'll make your investment back by the end of the year perhaps? and then all sales going forward would be profit!
The only most honest youtuber. Most people would just say anything to get view and not tell the truth. Any business has its ups and downs. It is good to do your research before starting any business. Give it a try and if it works good and if not, try something else. Thanks for your honesty.
Such an awesome vid!!! So appreciate this one. Thanks heaps!
You are hilarious 😂. Love your videos, Sara. Super informative
Amazing video! Entertaining, educative and mind opener. After watching so many people selling "magic solutions" to make easy money, this is like a fresh breeze showing a real example, not just narrating an ideal solution. Thanks (new subscriber here)
Wow haven't seen you on YT for sometime, I used to watch your vids from about 3/ 4 years back when I was doing automated drop shipping. Long story as to why I stopped but still it's great to see you are doing well 👍📈
Absolutely amazing experiment and review, Sarah! ★★★★★
Thank you!
I'm very creative when it comes to making phrases and quotes. I also used to be very artistic so I'm pretty sure I could create my own designs for products. I'm hoping to start trying this out soon.
How did it go? Can I buy one?
Thanks! You deliver great value!!!
I didn't watch your videos since 2019 I think. Happy to see you healthy this time. Greetings from Morocco. I miss watching your enthusiastic videos. Thank you
Sarah you rock, another great vid
Nice. I never knew they had print on demand. I only new about teespring, and a couple others. Thanks for sharing
HUGE TYPO - in one of the designs lol ! - just a girl who loves “Trutles” love it
Gracias por mostrar ésta experiencia tan valiosa. Grande Sara!!
You seem super cool, for an ecommerce guru, wish you the best. Good luck 👍
I appreciate your honesty Sarah. You win some and you lose some, but at least you tried. And with Amazon, the profit margins are slim after their fees.
Thanks Sarah! Let this video be proof that there's no such thing as easy money, or earning passive income "FOR FREE". It requires a lot of hard work and little bit of upfront investment (even just to buy your own merch), which many TH-camrs and people selling training courses ignore. Appreciate a doze of reality :)
This was very interesting and well done. Thanks.
Its nice to see you around these parts now days.
Hi Sarah, great video and love your channel.
TYSM for the information. I subbed!
The Best for everyone here.
*+*
Funny, when you showed that yo were not making any money on the submissions, I actually became more interested in the video since it was "honest". So refreshing!!
you got my subscribe, keep growing
I enjoy your channel, I subscribed today!
Great! I’m a new starter and your content is fab !!
OMG, it's like you're reading my story... But I gave up after months of this. Good for you for sticking with it!
Great videos, thank you for all of your helpful info. Did you go to school for business or are you primarily self taught?
thank you it was very informative.
This is really interesting. Thanks!
Thank you for being honest regarding your journey... You even made me giggle when you got to your last "WELL" I could only be grateful to you for your journey in trying to help us. So thank you again! Eventually, I will find that work-from-anywhere niche that helps me provide for my family. The search is tiring.
This was the best 10 minutes I spent on TH-cam today!
I had no idea Amazon Merch was a thing. I'm already an FBA seller looking into creating a print on demand store, this is huge lol.
Excellent video. Thanks!
My concern with buying designs (specifically using ideas that I came up with) from freelancers is: what's stopping the freelancer from simply uploading the design to their own print on demand sites before handing them over to me? If they do that, I can't prove that the copyright belongs to me because I paid for it.
Love your vids Sarah, thx
One of the best anti-"get rich quick" videos I've seen!
Thanks for the time and effort in the experiment. Here's to hoping the TH-cam affiliate income will offset the loss. :)
A couple of thoughts on this video: The words "gift" and "birthday" are already banned in MBA. So be careful with these words! Don't include them in your listings. On the other hand, as I can understand, one of the Fiverr sellers send you designs with copyright issues that are not so professional as I can imagine. And last but not least, the "strategy" to buy your own designs to boost them and to upscale your level on MBA it's a good move, but it's not so good if you are a broke guy like me, trying to make some sales without profit and without any money for ads. Well done!
Honestly for some of the Amazon take downs, I think it was a mistake. If I had resubmitted some I think they would have been accepted. Really good to know about the change in policy, not sure if I purchased my designs prior to the change or my Fiverr sellers just didn't know 🤷
@Marcel Herold I just take an answer from them and you're right! They were not so specific on their help page.
The answer was "This rule applies only to the Title of your design. At this time, it applies to only newly created designs."
@Marcel Herold It's fine for keywords?
Sarah: Ah my lazy friends...
Me: I was attacked
I felt included and validated. 😊
🤣🤣🤣
@@gurutruecrimeguru1405 hahhah
Finally, an honest experiment of what happens. Gotta love that.
Siven!! : )
Thanks Seerah!
Naughty!
You could make your money back over time and through trying different prints or coming up with original ideas you could hit on a niche market and find a winner
Great video!!
I learned a lot thank you!!
Thanks Sarah! You are the best ! So , I did not know I could by my own T-shirt to speed up 🆙 the Tier change ! I will give it a try . I got accepted by MBA.
hasn't worked for me, purchased 5 recently, ryan hogue said you only need 60 percentage and they work on a schedule. sarah's information contradicts this. unsure if to wait. my total should be 8.
@@thanesbusiness5001 I am not sure what you're saying when you say "you only need 60 percentage and they work on a schedule"?
@@WholesaleTed according to Ryan to get out of tier 10 you just need to buy 4-6 and they tier up periodically. I made my purchase last week, hasn't happened yet.
@@thanesbusiness5001 ah that's good to know, then he is probably right and I am wrong and misunderstood how it works! I am not an expert in Merch By Amazon 🌞 I am sorry if misunderstood how the tier system works and got it wrong! The main point of the experiment was just to see if the Fiverr gig T-Shirts would sell 🙏 I generally sell privately, not on third party websites. So this was my first time on the Amazon Merch platform: th-cam.com/video/jDjcqyd7vv0/w-d-xo.html
@@WholesaleTed a shirt is naturally selling, hopefully i should tier up in two months
1 million subscribers are well on their way Sarah 👍
Short, and sweet answer for anyone who just wants to know if she made any money or not doing this...17:12
Thank you
thank you
Thank you so much!
Is there any update to this, after few weeks/months to let them run first?
Awesome as usual
Great content and GREAT experiment.
What did I learn from this video?
That Fiverr gigs are low quality and once they're off with your money, you're left holding the EMPTY bag.
Great tips!
thanks sarah, what this video basically confirmed was a major portion of internet "businesses" exist primarily or exclusively to thieve from gullible & trusting people by grossly inflated claims & promises.
Newbie here hey!!! I’ve gotta make some quick money so i sure hope this works! Both my husbands car & mine broke down at the same time amongst all our bills and rent
