How to Get Accepted to Amazon Merch On Demand
I hope this video helps you get accepted! Here’s the link to the Full POD Tutorial mentioned: th-cam.com/video/-hV1199wN0k/w-d-xo.html
thanks for the full tutorials. i have a bunch of one template scalable design and it needs to be seen .
@GregGottfried does Amazon Merch sends a micro deposit to your bank account to verify?
Submitted the application. Amazon says review time is approximately 14 days. I hope will be sooner. I'll keep updated. Thanks for this video, it help me to take action.
I was not accepted with Amazon Merch.
@@MrRamguerrero22 me either and it was less than 14 days.
When I clicked on the 'sign up' button a few weeks ago, I got a pop up saying, 'All applications are closed'. Boom.
Finally someone did it step by step!!! No Fluff!!! Love it
As a tax professional: Some advice- If you are an LLC, sign up as an Individual- you are a sole proprietor. 2nd, If you are outside the US find out how to file your income but as far as the US in concerned you are suppose to file a tax return for the US also, there are credits that you can take if qualified to help reduce any money you might owe. 3rd- He says royalties, if you are paid on a 1099MISC under the royalty box then you want to file on a Schedule E so you can also take any expenses that you might have incurred ie. fees from Amazon. If you put this under "other Income" you cannot take the expenses, it's not totally wrong to put here but you cannot take expenses on this section. If they pay you on a 1099-k then this is considered self employment income and it needs to go on a Schedule C. (not sure which one they actually send you).Ultimately, you need to consult a tax professional or do your research to make sure if you need to file a tax return and where to put it. Hope that helps clarify some! Good Luck everyone!
For tax purposes, is it better to open an account as an individual or LLC? Do I get more write-offs either way?
@@merijackson6448for this purpose they mean the same thing. An LLC can be an Individual/partnership/SCorp. The LLC part is just you registering for the state that you live in. If you are worried about getting sued then do the LLC But it is not needed. The only difference in expenses is the setup to do it. Everything else is the same
As a non-US citizen, do I have to file a tax return to IRS on my Amazon royalties? Or do I have to file a tax return to my country's tax authorities? Amazon has submitted 1042S form to IRS which has all information about my gross royalties and taxes withheld.
The one is buying your services ambulance chaser
This person is hardly an ambulance chaser. This is very sound advice. While Greg Gottfried has provided some amazing information, no one should be paying tax on their gross income. Any expenses incurred legitimately need to be subtracted from gross income.
Greg, I've been dreading applying to Amazon Merch for the longest time and today, after watching this video, it gave me confidence in starting the application process right away. You're amazing! Thank you so much!
thank you so much i have watched so many videos but you explain the solution to the problem to the point. Thanks a lot
Thnx for the helpgul information and the support you are willing to give to the people who are struggling to be accepted. It really counts
Thanks Greg! You always make me smile whenever I watch your videos. I never get bored watching your videos again and again. They are so helpful for the business. Keep up the good work brother 👍.
Thank you! I appreciate that! If you run into any questions on any of the videos just let me know 👍
Just used this to apply today! Thank you! Fingers crossed
Thanks Greg. very informative tutorial Applied today. now the waiting .
Greg thanks for the wonderful tutorial, info and tips. Waiting for my Amazon Merch registration to be approved.
Thank you Greg. Your videos are very informative and helpful. I wish you continued success and all the best.
Thanks, Greg. I've been looking for Merch sign-up information, but no one lays it out as clear as you have.
Awesome, thank you! If you run into any questions on the application just let me know 👍
@@GregGottfried Hey Greg, great info as usual. When you say to re-apply with a different email address, do you mean during the application stage? I tried to make a create a new Amazon account to re-apply to the Merch platform, but when it wants to send an OTP to my phone number, the form says, "this phone number associated with another Amazon account". So I'm guessing you must mean that you sign into your same personal account with your regular email account login but when you go to the Merch by Amazon sign-up application, you THEN use a different email address. Is that correct? Thank you so much for the help!
Greg, this was amazing. Thank you!
i like these tutorials from you, Gregg. very comprehensive, saying as well the minute details, incorporating every bit of idea and instruction with every utterance. Some questions:
what is the diff between live vs auto-uploaded?
why cant i see other amazon merch on demand markets like sg, and aussie? are the not part of amazon merch on demand? Im sure these two are included in amazon fba/amazon wholesale/amazon arbitrage
Wow! Another super helpful video Greg! Thanks for doing what you do.
Thanks, and hope you're doing well!
👍 Yes. 🙏Thank you for this update. It’s the little things that make the difference. Time to apply again…💪
Right on! I hope you get in, you got this!
Thank you so much for the update on this topic Greg! Very helpful indeed :-)
No worries! If you run into any questions just let me know 👍
This was way to helpful. Exactly what I needed to know to get into Amazon Merch. Thanks Greg!!
Glad it was helpful! If you run into any questions just let me know 👍
This is so helpful! Thanks for the info and detailed description.
Glad it was helpful! Thank you! If you run into any questions just let me know 👍
Greg, it's awesome to see your dedication on answering everyone's questions throughout your videos. From all of us, thank you!😊🙏
Thanks 🙏 Always here for you guys… thanks for your comments I appreciate them!
always detailed and very easy to understand , you’re awesome Greg
Thanks a bunch Greg, for the updated info…
No worries!
Thank you that was super helpful!! by any chance have you made a video about setting up a RedBubble shop and how to maximize sales?
Thanks man! I’ll be trying again today!
Right on, good luck!
Very helpful video. Thanks Greg!
Thank you! If you run into any questions just let me know 👍
thanks heaps Greg🙌♥️
Very useful video Greg, as always.
Thanks again Roy!
Thank you for this information. I just applied using your tips.
How’d it go
@@cruzvcruz5752 I didn't get accepted, but I'm going to try again.
I earlier struggled with getting able to sign up for merch on demand I have now managed to get onto the sign up page and I am awaiting confirmation from Amazon ..Supposedly should take about 14 days or so but could be longer we await with baited breath .. fingers crossed !
Hope you get in!!
Thank you so much for the updated video/ information on this.
When letting them know that you already sell on other market places, do you recommend listing them out? Etsy, red bubble, etc. Or, should we just state that we already sell on multiple marketplace platforms? Thanks for all of the great information you provide on this channel!
I've noted my address on Etsy. I think it's a big advantage, especially since I'm a star seller with huge sales. Let's see what they reply.
I was declined twice 😢. Thanks , Greg , I will try again , using your tips
I think I have been declined around 13 times, will continue trying
Thank you so much for info!
Glad it was helpful! If you run into any questions just let me know 👍
thanks to this tutorial i just applied and fingers crossed🥶
Did you get accepted ?
Thanks greg this video is very very helpful ❣️
Glad it was helpful! If you run into any questions just let me know 👍
@@GregGottfried greg I have question about redbubble I was created 5 accounts which are suspended after creating account..... No designs upload yet .
. But my account was suspended I don't know what's the reason behind this can you guide me greg ❣️
I’ve heard of RedBubble doing it sometimes based on location, and it’s a totally automated thing. There’s no good explanation for it so I would come back to them later on once you’ve built up your business on the other websites 👍
Super super zGreg...best video to explain this..THANK U,
My pleasure!
Thank YOU so much... God bless!!!
Thank you! If you run into any questions just let me know 👍
Any tips to apply from South America? I'm already in RB and TP, but AMD will be top
Great info, thank you.
Thanks Chuck. If you run into any questions just let me know 👍
Been denied 4 times 😢 will keep going! I've said all of the same things as told above plus I sell on walmart & etsy plus website still no!
Hello! Sorry for the inconvenience, can you tell me how you do it so I can try again? They have denied me once and I can't access it anymore. If there is any trick, I would greatly appreciate it if you could comment on it.
What would you put if you aren’t just selling t-shirts (Novelty Tees) part?
Thank you for sharing
No worries! If you run into any questions just let me know 👍
Do you have any advice or can you point us to any guides on getting a TIN or EIN if we want to avoid using our SSN? I'm going to be trying online sale stuff on a number of sites this year and I really don't want to be handing out my SSN all over the place.
(I've heard you can get a TIN for a sole proprietorship from the IRS for free?)
Very good video as well
As always, helpful content and walk-thru - thanks! So is it better to establish our other POD stores first, so that we can list them in our Amazon application?
That's what I'm doing. I also wanted to have some good designs that I felt confident about under my belt. I'm applying to Amazon next week.
@GregGottfried Hey Greg, great info as usual. When you say to re-apply with a different email address, do you mean during the application stage?

I have used your advice here and tried my 3rd time. Very hopeful to get in.. fingers crossed
I'm also on my third try and waiting to here back.
@@jeremiahthomason2012 this time I used my personal amazon account that I have had for years…… and made sure my application sounded as pro as possible
Hoping for the best!!
Hope you get approved!!
@@GregGottfried I hope so too!!
It would be my 3rd try… and this time I concentrated on the application paragraph and instead of creating a new account, I used my personal long time shopping account…. Crossing fingers!!!
@@GregGottfried hope so too
Its been a week and still under review.
I am hopeful….
I was rejected and need to reapply. In addition to a different email do I need to use a different phone number too? Thanks for the video!
Any reason I can’t see the amount that have sold like you can?
Thank you! 🙏 One question - what is the 4th tip? I have 1,2,3 and 5. 🙏
The 4th tip starts at 11:56 minutes of the video
Great walkthrough with good advice Greg! Question, can one person owns multiple accounts with Amazon Merch at all? If yes, how do you do it exactly to avoid getting in any trouble with Amazon?
I’ve seen a video of someone sharing his horrible story about having a second account a while back, but I still wonder if it is even possible to do. Thanks!
Thanks! Hope you've been well. Still traveling overseas? Great question. This is something I've too heard horror stories about (having multiple active Merch on Demand accounts). They state in their terms that you cannot have multiple active Merch on Demand accounts, and I believe they do actually enforce this. If you had multiple on accident, I'd just keep one dormant and use the other as your active one 👍
@@GregGottfried good to know, I feel like sellers on Amazon always need to be extra careful and cautious, like walking on a minefield. I came back from traveling two weeks ago, however, I caught COVID somewhere on the way back unfortunately. So, I’ve been trying to recover since then. Would like to create new TH-cam content again soon. Thanks Greg!
Dang.. I hope you get back to 100% soon!
Another great video Greg! Quick question; do you find simplistic designs get more movement or more colorful & unique designs get more traction? Maybe a video based on your experience?? Thanks Greg!
Simple sells!
Thank you!
Thank you
No worries! If you run into any questions just let me know 👍
I followed your tutorial thoroughly. Even then my application got rejected.
Dang.. At least you know you have yourself the best odds. You can reapply with a different email address so don’t give up, it’s well worth it once you’re in 😀
Can we make both seller central and merch on demand on same LLC. i already have seller central acount. now i also want to make merch on demand acount. is it possible?
Hi Greg, you provide very useful information and I love your videos, thank you. So, do we choose the quality of the t-shirt? Are there options that fit everyone or is it standard on Redbuble, Amazon and Teepublic? Also, are returns common and how does the process continue? I would appreciate it if you could give me information in case of a return.
With Greg's passive POD format, the POD provider handles all the customer service -- including returns!!!
That being said, RedBubble & TeePublic [& I think Amazon also] allow the customer to choose the quality of the product ["premium" t-shirts cost more, of course].
Do you suggest sticking to one topic with designs or a mix? I currently have 3 storefronts on Spring (Wine / Drums / Graphic Ts - themes). On Amazon, would it be better to have a mix of my best designs from my three storefronts or stick to on theme? Thanks for any advice you can give me. Love all your videos.
I think what Greg has said before is that you will be choosing your keywords strategically so you can mix niches in your storefront & prospective customers will find your designs according to their keyword search. But you need to do your keyword & niche research carefully!
I have been denied twice and heard that you can actually buy an approval. Do you believe this is correct?
I heard this from a very reliable source so I don’t believe it is spam
Is it possible to modify the Additional Information after you've hit submit?
Great video Greg. One question. Im not in the US. So, if im using a US bank through payoneer, does that mean that my address should be US as well? because if im saying my country is In Africa for example, and i put a payoneer bank thats US., wouldnt that cause a problem??
If you are not accepted the first time, you say to re-apply with a different email address. Does this mean setting up a new Amazon account or can you just change the email address attached to your existing account? Thanks!
On Etsy it costs 20 cents per post per yearly quarter. Is there a cost to post on Amazon? I’d like some more info about the actual posting of designs bro❤
Hi I am from Singapore and unable to select a county which means I need a payment support can you guide on this
In Amazon's Merch on Demand, I need to enter an address. Since I am in Portugal/Europe, what address should I use to sell to the United States or the English-speaking market? I really enjoy your videos, congratulations. Thank you in advance for your help.
thankyou
You're welcome! If you run into any questions just let me know 👍
Is this the same for wall art or just T shirts?
Thanks
Welcome! If you run into any questions just let me know 👍
Thanks for the info.
According to another 'guru' you need to use a new phone number as well each time you re-apply?
The few people who do get accepted nowadays, seems to be from the US.
(I've been denied 20+ times and gave up)
Yes, each time you create a new Amazon account to apply from, you have to use a new phone number. I have applied twice so far and the second this I had to use a different phone number.
Wise ??
Informative video , but my question is that i brlong to Pakistan , i have applied many times but rejected my applications as know that we do not have any tax file and local usa address so what should i can do please
Hi mate if your Brand is successful, what is to stop any compony from stealing your design, please let me know Thanks Paul
Can anyone from India or UAE apply, cause it didn't show these countries when I was applying
How can i active Amazon fba seller deactived Account?
Sorry sir, I asked, the explanation video was, how to register to sell designs on merch by Amazon, thank you
What if I have an active KDP account. Do I use the same email etc for Amazon Merch?
Great question. Since they treat the accounts separately, it won't matter which email you apply with. I hope you get in!
Hi Greg i have a large audience on Instagram in the weight loss niche please how do i get accepted on clickbank in a restricted country
Re-applying also requires a new phone number, not just a new email. Anyone know how to get around this so you don't have to buy new phone numbers every time you want to apply?
Still show declined what I have to do
Greg what do you do when you have been rejected before , every time I try to re admit they have my email and password and my rejection page keeps popping up. I cannot get another chance to try applying again. It has been over 6 months since last application.
No worries! If you log out you’ll be able to apply again with a different email address 👍
People mention showcasing their designs in the application - is that done through the section where you can put the website link?
Yes that's exactly right, and I've heard of others doing it too but I haven't heard of any increase in approvals from it. I think if you have a large following it's going to be more helpful to link it, but that vast majority of us applying don't have one to link so it's not going to hurt you if you don't link to one.
@@GregGottfried thanks for the info ✨😀
I am from Bangladesh.. When I submit my number fr the OTP..They say that invalid OTP.. But they haven’t even accepted my number..why is that?...pls help!
I have already registered amazon affiliate but can apply for merch on demand from the same email?
Yes, but it still gets treated as a separate application 👍
I got accepted but all my t-shirt designs got rejected and are all originals designs, i really don’t know why , someone help please
Hi, I have been accepted and I started posted. But I am limited at 4 products a day. I don't understand how it works. Because I have selected an item, chosen One platform and then, it has chosen 3 more platforms and Decided I cant post any more. Then once published I have a possibility to modify but I cannot. Could you please made a tutorial explaining step by step the process for merch on demand which is absolutely not intuitive like teepublic. Thanks
How many times did you apply before being accepted?
I’m in the UK and want to sell in the UK, USA and South America. Do I need to open accounts with Amazon in UK and USA.
Great question. No you will not need to open multiple accounts. They allow you to select multiple marketplaces all within your single Merch account.
I've been denied but I'm concerned about signing up with a different email address since all of the other information is still there (ie - SSN). Would this not lead to being booted from Amazon altogether?
Good question!
No it wouldn't I've tried. And I think it's because you use the same name with the same home address.
No worries! You truly can just change the email address. I've spoken to a whole bunch of people who have done exactly this and gotten in on a later attempt with a different email address.
@@GregGottfried Right on! I'll be giving it another shot after I get some designs uploaded to the other sites. I probably should have done that the first time but didn't realize how competitive it is. Thanks for the reply!
Where they need more information when l click, it ask me to put my phone number to receive OTP, l put it but it says internal error. I never get the OTP, pls what do l do.
Tried 3 times and am still getting denied. Help!
Can i join amazon? Im from Asia
denied 8 times
After being accepted, would you be able to update and change your email address?
Yes you absolutely can 👍
Greg, thank you! Are you able to have multiple niches on your Amazon account and separate them by category like on Redbubble?
Yes Amazon makes it super easy too. Just use different brand names when making each niche listing 👍
Denied 4 times now so I have moved on. To many other platforms to utilize to keep messing with them. Sadly
Dang.. I hope you do get it because it's an entire economy of its own. Here to help if you need it!
If you have applied before and been denied is it possible to try again?
Yes you just need to use a different email address 👍
damn, why'd i watch this AFTER applying :D
😂 you may get in on the first try anyways! If not you can always reapply 👍
Hey Greg , very good video . I can do better editing in your videos which can help you to get more engagement in your videos . Pls lmk what do you think ?
If you start as an individual and create a business later, do you need to create a new store or can you change the information from individual to entity?
Great question. You can change the info anytime on your account 👍
Thank you!
When I click the link to sign up it goes directly here. "Thank you for requesting an Amazon Merch on Demand account.
We appreciate your interest, but your account request has been declined. We thank you for taking the time to introduce yourself to us and encourage you to check out selling options on Amazon." They won't give a reason or let me reapply.
I'm in the same situation. I'm thinking to reapply with another email address, you will either need to clear your browser history, or open an incognito tab.
You have to use a new email address each time. Sign out of your amazon and then go back and sign up for a new amazon account
@@catherinew5208 So we need to make many email and have several Amazon accts if we don't get accepted? Yeesh how annoying!
No worries! It just means that application was not approved. You can reapply as many times as you'd like by logging out and using a different email address to apply again. You'd be surprised how many people I talk to that simply just reapplied with another email address and got approved on a later try.
@@GregGottfried Are you saying we just apply again after logging out of our main Amazon acct and simply reapply with a new email without setting up more Amazon accounts?
After watching your video I did try my self and Unluckily I got rejected:(… Can I reapply again?
Yes! Just use a different email address 😀
@@GregGottfrieddo you have to create a whole new Amazon account to reapply?
Hello, I thank you for the excellent advice, but Amazon rejected me more than 12 times. I changed my gmail every time and followed all the advice you said, but I doubt that the real reason is behind my site. I am from Palestine, Gaza City, and I want a solution. I desperately need it.❤
You seem to be lying and if you're not then it's not cool coming off like this. Stop victimising yourself to get pity from others, it's not cool. This is from someone who holds Palestine very dear to heart.
I was DENIED, and they won't say why. Disappointed. Can I reapply?
Dang.. Yes you just need to use a different email address. Don't give up because it's a huge site for POD once you're in!
If you are not accepted, every time you send a new application, a new address is not enough but you will also be asked for a new telephone number.
Yes, I just found this out on my 2nd time applying!
@@amandafox815 So it is not possible to make many requests, unless a person has many telephone numbers
@@amandafox815 So it is not possible to make many requests, unless a person has many telephone numbers

No worries! You're not rejected forever, you can reapply as many times as you' like by using a different email address each time.
