 Merge by Amazon income report July 2018. That's one of the things there's three things I want to cover in this August 2018. What did you say to July? Okay, so three things I want to cover I want to do income report. I want to talk about a huge update to Merge by Amazon No, it is actually like really huge and then I also want to talk about it is the last update Which was like they added UK and Germany markets to Merge by Amazon. So I just want to look at my Sales that's not even the big news in it. No, it's not. It's just something I want to I'm reminding myself right now It's looking at so the first thing I want to cover is the huge update with Merge All right, so the update is actually I think really important especially for beginners Yeah, so Amazon is adding AMS ads to t-shirts I'll put the message on the screen. Well, bam, that's really exciting if I was still in Merge Yeah, but they deleted they terminated my account for no good reason. Yeah, so I'm gonna read the message real quick that they have here Amazon marketing services is launching for Merge by Amazon. We will enable accounts on a rolling basis When an account is eligible content creators, we'll see a new advertising section at the bottom of their merch Dashboard, which will include AMS registration instructions and unique code. Please note. Yeah, okay, so I think this is Really fucking important for people in tier 10 and tier 25 That like can't get out, you know Because I say it all the time that getting out of tier 10 is the hardest part of Merge Amazon and then once you have like 500 slots, could you get off your phone? I just want to show really quick our setup. Okay. This is what we're seeing in the past We were recording from the webcam just like this But now we got the phone set way better set up and then your quality for you you guys probably don't care But then in Adobe Premiere, we just overlay it two videos on top put it in the corner And then we got this mic instead of the shitty laptop mic. Oh, yes 10 times. Oh, I'm so pumped about this having this new setup every time We do screen shares. All right, basically. All right What was in the little thing? Yeah, if you're into your 10, I think this sounds like the absolute perfect way to get out of it Because once you get to tiered, uh, like 500 a thousand huge 500. Yeah, I mean the potential is there once you're into your 500 If you're not making money to your 500 You're doing something wrong Really? But in tier 10, I don't blame you. You kind of have to get lucky Getting a design to sell real quick because no one knows how to rank a t-shirt No one no one knows if anyone claims I didn't Amazon knows if anyone claims you know how to rank a t-shirt how much Mamsa on their line. Yeah, because it's just random. It's random. It's so annoying. Yeah All right. So yeah, that's the thing if you're tier 10 You only have 10 slots to play with You put 10 t-shirts out there. It's really hard to get discovered Both AMS ads you go to the top of the first page Boom. So if you have good designs, they're gonna sell and if you get just a few sales You're out of tier 10 do it more out of tier 25 to 100 you get tiered really quickly with just these new AMS ads So it's great for beginners and for like me I'm gonna try and like run it because I have a bunch of really good designs that I'm ranking on page 4,000 So they don't sell it all so I'm definitely tried on those really good designs Yeah, because there are some like some of the best designs they just never be found They just need to be seen and then once they like get a few sales through AMS Organic rank. Exactly. The organic rank shoots up. This is a game changer. It really is for the people willing to like Put in the money to run the ads Would you do a separate video just about how to run AMS ads for merch? Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes Comment down below if you want to see that video. Yeah I mean, I'm assuming it's very similar to what it is for books Probably so it's slightly different, but the same the same principles apply All right, so we got that out of the way. That's awesome It's huge for everyone. Now merch is just growing expanding. They're adding so many new things all the time. They are pop sockets new markets Uh ads wasn't another new thing. They were new products. Well, yeah, just new products All right, so let's get on to the income report part August 2018. All right. I'm now on the screen I don't know if it's blur. I don't know how I'm set this up yet, but Let's take a look at it Don't hype it up so much Why not? Because people want to know they're gonna be disappointed. Okay There it is Eight hundred thirty six dollars and that's like one cents give or take a hundred bucks. So you made the last three four months Basically, so because we're focused on all these other money moves, right? So eight thirty six fifty one That's up from like seven hundred and seventy three. It's just hella passive anymore It's just hella passive as fuck and that's what that's what I really want to bring up here Eight thirty six. Hmm. It's cool I was hoping to break a thousand because I was actually on pace for that halfway through But then it really slowed down like a motherfucker towards the end. I don't know why look, I got a zero a zero for like It was like the first time in many months Um, anyway, so eight thirty six the thing is that I put no time Into merch my amazon at all in august and it went up to fifty dollars. It's pretty lit. Yeah, so that's sick March my amazon really is extremely passive just the way kind of publishing audiobook publishing is Um, I got to have to three thousand I only have one thousand one hundred ninety designs up three thousand is a high tier Yeah, and you're you filled a third of the slots exactly one like the potential is huge the potential is huge I had so let's get to upload. I know so that's what I want to say real quick It will soon we've been crazy crazy busy last month like I just have not had time to do this at all I'll say we can barely fit this video in yeah. Yeah, so that's tough enough. But yeah after the launch of the course This is filmed before this video. I'm assuming it will be up after Um, then I'm gonna make it much more of a focus because I do want to grow this thing not a merch course by the way What oh, yeah, this is an audiobook course, which is 10 times better than merch by the way Is what it is. I think merch amazon is Simpler it's more simple. Mm-hmm, but it's not better at all. Yeah, audiobook publishing is way better Um, yeah, so I do want to make it a focus in september to get a shitload of designs that because I have a lot of designs made You know because that's something that I don't have to work on but the uploading part I do have to put in time. I have a very uploading it, but only into draft Um, and then I still have to review every single one individually. So there's a shitload in draft So that's really what uh, I need to do next. I don't have time. I've not had time yet We'll be working on that And it is gonna grow. I want to hit a thousand in september or it'll be tough So let's try to hit a thousand and the last thing I want to cover Is uh the recent update that merch for amazon had was that they added the uk and the german markets All right, so I just want to talk about what I have had in terms of results with that So let us check that out Oh, I'm so curious to see All right, there you have the last seven days. I think it's been up about seven days 32 sold in the us zero in the uk zero in germany. That's a little bit disappointing. I will be honest I had high hopes for it. I really did have high hopes for it because there's no competition Yeah, no competition and there's a lot of people live in uh, germany in the uk. Yeah, so pretty disappointed by zero sales at all And amazon they are let's give it more time. Yeah, I know I know I'm still gonna upload shit to that And uh amazon they uploaded like 120 designs for me So there are designs up only about 120 of them, but still no sales. Yeah, it's pretty lame. Oh, yeah That's what it is. So that's the last thing I want to say Wow a video under 10 minutes. Can you believe it? Wow, I know. So that's it. Let's Wrap this shit up before the video is over Subscribe to the channel like the video leave a comment and one thing we've never seen before Share the video You never say that but people always plug it and I feel like it's a pointless plug because who shares videos Yeah, I've never shared a video. Yeah, so we're never gonna plug that again. Yeah. All right. See ya
