 Welcome to today's video where I'm going to show you how to set up your AMS ads for your merch for Amazon business What are you doing? Nothing So I actually was trying to set this up myself. I haven't done it yet So I'm gonna actually walk you through me setting up my own account And I went to YouTube to try and find it and there's not a single walkthrough video So here's the first one. Let's run some AMS ads to our t-shirts and watch the new name Amazon advertising so AA ads I guess I everyone still today that says we'll see how it changes. Yeah, also We never plug in the beginning of our videos. All right. We have to do it. We are the Mickelson twins a cool name, right? How twins watching Wilson so scratch our channel. We make videos about anything online business related some are spot Amazon Some publishing if you're not publishing you definitely into that and like the video to get to like it. Okay, so We're gonna go inside the computer now what bam. All right, so first things first You have to be approved by Amazon to run AMS ads for your for your t-shirts So you will know if you have this thing down here. It's as advertised your merch and I'll have a little code Right. So if you have people are gonna ask, how do I get approved? Yeah? They will just approve you over time. There's nothing you do just wait on a higher tier They start from the top they move down. So if you're tier 10, you probably not gonna prove They'll approve you eventually. Yeah, so if you have this, you're good Then you can follow the steps that we're gonna talk about and also one other thing if you um if you have a this is a kind of random if you have a KDP account or if you Do not have a KDP account. The steps are slightly different for setting this up. I Don't know why it just is so first for people who don't know what KDP is KDP Kittle Direct Publishing a publishing account on Amazon So the first thing I'm gonna do is walk you through how to do it if you do not have a KDP account because that's Maybe my guess that most people don't and then I'm gonna show you the method that if you do have a KDP account So the first thing you have to do if you have been approved for AMS ads is click this link Amazon provides it somewhere. I'll put it in the description. So you'll know exactly Which one it is. So click that link Then it will take you to this page click get started And then once you get here, click I am a vendor agent Don't click any of these other ones forget all the other ones even the first step Are you like what do I do? That's what you do. I'm a vendor agent. Good thing. We're here to show you So after you click this next button You will then have to sign in to your Merchant Amazon account and then this form is going to come up I'll put it on the screen right now. That's what it looks like Okay, you have to fill out all the information inside this form and also keep in mind that your business name Your brand name your company name They're all the same thing the business name that you have inside your Merchant Amazon account and the one that you fill out in Your application has to be the exact same. It has to match word for word So once you fill it out all of the information in the form which you can see on the screen right now There will be a section that asks you to fill out your vendor code And it's that same code at the bottom of your dashboard inside your Merchant Amazon account It'll say merch dash and then five digits So enter that into the space that says vendor code and include the merch dash part not just the five digits I wonder why they did it like this. I know I set it up like this I don't know why they had to make it so complicated check the accept terms of service terms of conditions box and then click request Access then once you have requested access you're going to get two emails from Merch by Amazon I'm gonna put them on the screen what they look like right now They each have their own link like one will say verify your email or something like that No one will say verify your account You have to go on into each email and then click both links if you only do one It's not gonna work if you only do the other it's not gonna work You have to do both verification links in each email This is the page that you'll be brought to once you verify your email one And then this page will go brought to once you click the link in the other email on that on that new page That you're brought to check the box that says accept terms of conditions and then click approve and agree So once you've done that you've then submitted your application for AMS ads for your Merch by Amazon business And also since I haven't done this myself yet I'm not exactly sure how long it's gonna take to be approved once you have been approved for it You'll get an email that looks like that and then once you've gotten that email that means your AMS ads Account for Merch by Amazon is set up. You're completely done. You're good You can go then go to AMS.amazon.com and get started running ads for your t-shirts Is it AMS.amazon.com? For now it still is Maybe it redirects you to like AA. That is how you do it and now there is a second method For if you have a KDP account like I do so I haven't set it up yet I'm gonna actually do that right now. You'll see me set up my actual account The first step is to sign out of your KDP account Which I'm now signed out of everything if you have a KDP account already You have to create a new account just to run AMS ads for your Merch by Amazon business So you have to go here to and click this button that says create your Amazon account So I actually just created a new email account right now just to use for this I'm just gonna fast forward fill out this information. All right. I now fill out the info click create your Amazon account My account is being created. Okay, so from now on the steps are well Actually, they're kind of the same now from now on as the ones I already showed but now I can actually walk you through So go to this link again Boom, it's in the description cop. Oops Click the link you will be taken to this page. That says sponsored ads click get started So this will say I have a KDP account Don't even check that one check the one that says I am a vendor agent because that that's then it's gonna Thank you that you want to set up ads for your for your books, but we want to do it for our t-shirts Click next. So now fill up this information. I'm gonna do it real quick All right, I fill up the information as you can see company name brand name. I said Rasmus T's Oh, actually, no, hold on. It has to match exactly what it says inside my account So let me check that real quick. So to check what the brand name is inside your Merchant Amazon account Just click here in my account And it will say right here business name, so I just use Rasmus Mickelson So that's actually what I'm gonna put here instead of Rasmus Rasmus T's just I feel like people always stress about this sort of stuff Like oh, what should I put for the brand name? Like it's not that important. Just make sure it matches your Merchant Amazon account. And then next is to enter the vendor code, which I will find right Here inside my dash of board. Oh, that's bud. That's about it. Here's mine copy that with the merch dash and the five digits Face that in here. Ka-Blammy Ka-Blam Accept that and then click request access Your request has been received Amazon reach out to the owner of the brand to approve your request You'll receive an email notification when they respond. So I should now be getting two emails from Amazon Let's see if it's real if the if if I actually do get that. Yep. Okay. So here's the first one Please verify your brand agency Then I'm gonna click this link right here. I'm so legit brand agency brand agency baby click that link Review and approve. Yeah, so this is actually super simple Check I agree and acknowledge approve and agree Thank you for authorizing Rasmus Mikkelsen as a brand marketer with AMS It's being a second email as well about my having to verify my email. This video is boring, but setting up AMS ads is boring So, yeah, sorry not sorry. Yeah, I do have an email. Please verify my email. Here's that second email Here's that second email. Okay. Yep. Okay. Now. We're getting somewhere. Mm-hmm Like I said, you have to get both emails and verify Both links or click both links. Okay Email verification complete your emails now verified for we are currently reviewing your registration for approval Okay, see now now I feel we're back on track. So like I said, they're gonna review it And I don't know if it's gonna be instant does not seem like it's instant so far But you know what actually what I'm gonna do is Stop the video now and I'll come back to it once you get approved I'll let you know how long that took so start the timer start the timer So this is it now and then we're gonna snap and then it's gonna be at the time of the next time. Yeah, right? Okay, do the snappy thing. All right No, yeah, yeah, I actually reset the timer. See we're all human. We're all human I fucked up and so I can't really time it's been about 23 hours And I still have not gotten my confirmation email, which I didn't see an Amazon says it takes between one and three days To get approved. So let's just go with that. No need to do this. Yeah, that's just how long it takes And then once you get the email which looks like this Once you get that email, it means you are set you can go to ams.amazon.com You can start running ads for your t-shirts, which you should definitely do so yeah that wraps up the video That's how you set up a message for your merge my Amazon business That's all right.
