To Exhibit, Oneself Is A Talent: t-shirt design online

This is my fourth article on earning through a side hustle. The second one is in line with Amazon. Please browse my blog for more side hustle approaches. As days run, my thoughts about job security keep growing constantly in my mind. Maybe the current market status and the new technologies that crop up daily around us give me a feeling that an active job can never be relied on like how it was earlier. Let me uncover one more side hustle in this blog post (i.e.) t-shirt design business.

Merch by Amazon may be a perfect fit if you or your partner are planning to start a t-shirt design business as a side hustle. Passive income is always good but it is mandatory now at least for some people.

Anybody can use Merch by Amazon to create a cash inflow besides the active regular income from a full-time job. But still, I would dedicate this post to all those friends and their partners who are abroad and in India doing an excellent job as a homemaker.

Maybe your partner is damn creative and apt for the role of a designer but still had to stay at home due to circumstances. If you are able to relate the above sentence with your family then this is one way through which you can help your partner exhibit their talent.

Help them stay motivated by letting them know about Merch by Amazon. It can help them earn by working from home.

What Is Merch by Amazon?

It is Amazon’s Print On Demand platform for the people who create content. Through Merch by Amazon, anyone can create and start selling t-shirts. The product will be sold and shipped by Amazon. So, it is all about t-shirt design.

Creating a Merch by Amazon account for t-shirt design business is easy and straightforward but it is invitation-only now. One can request an invite from the Merch by Amazon landing page mentioned at the bottom of this post.

There is no specific time frame for an account to get approved as the approval is based only on the openings available. You can find some of the designer t-shirts here to get an idea about how much percentage you will earn.

How To Become Successful in T-shirt Design Business via Amazon?

Create your own website or a blog to showcase or display your products. It will come in handy when you fill out the application form for Merch by Amazon. Providing your website address in the application will give an edge to your application.

Though Merch by Amazon can make a path for your passive income it is better to consider other print-on-demand websites as well to publish your designs.

Remember, Merch by Amazon is non-exclusive, hence you are not restricted from uploading your designs to other similar websites.

It is highly recommended to read the available FAQ section of Merch by Amazon as it contains detailed information. Maybe you will find answers to all your questions there.

How long should you wait for your Account Approval?

As I mentioned above, there is no specific defined time frame for a Merch by Amazon account to get approved. The invitations are sent and the account gets approved based on the availability of space for the content creators.

Lately, I have come across reviews from users saying that it is taking more time to get their account approval email and also to get their designs approved.

What to do while waiting for Approval?

  • Do not lose hope.
  • Be patient and do not stop designing so that your mind stays creative and your brain stays healthy.
  • Practice so that you become a pro in creating a t-shirt design.
  • Learn Photoshop and other software tools that can help you design better, save time, and refine your skills.
  • Consider other alternatives so that you stay motivated and do not stay idle.

Other available alternatives to design a t-shirt from home:

  1. Gearbubble
  2. teespring
  3. CafePress
  4. society6
  5. spreadshirt
  6. teepublic
  7. threadless
  8. zazzle
  9. teefury
  10. designbyhumans
  11. Shopify
  12. teelaunch
  13. shirtee

Google should help you land on the respective pages of the above-mentioned websites without much effort.

What Is Next?

As far as I know, anyone can become a content creator in Merch by Amazon irrespective of their country and where they reside.

Hence, Stop Procrastinating and Start Designing.

The best season is already on the way with a lot of occasions like Halloween, Diwali, Thanksgiving, and more. Try to make the most out of it.

Though designing is not my cup of tea I am positive as I know a lot about it now. More than that I am happy as my post would be helpful for many designer homemaker friends to give it a shot when needed.
