But I only have access to upload a small amount of images and hope they sell
Amazon merch is pretty sweet :D
The only downside is that you can't upload hundreds of images right at the start. You basically have to earn your level and the higher you are, the more images you can upload. I know some guys who have thousands of images up and running. These guys are pulling in $100 to $300 of profit per day on complete auto pilot, which is what I'm trying to shoot for :D But I only have access to upload a small amount of images and hope they sell :(
An easier way to jump your level quick is to set up your items so that you don't profit. Sell your shirts at the lowest you can in order to increase your level. Level one lets you sell 25 designs, once you sell 25 shirts you get access to level 2 where you can sell 50 designs. When you sell 50 designs you get increased again and again and again lol. You do this until you're so trusted by amazon that they just open the flood gates and let you sell a ton of designs.
You can't upload just anything because they do manually check all the designs so they don't break any trademarks or copyrights. I had a Marilyn Monroe shirt on my account for a day or two before it was taken down for trademark infringement. I didn't get in trouble, it was just taken down and I got an email letting me know. I'm sure I will get in trouble if that happens again, so I'm going to play it safe from now on :D

EDIT:
Whoops! This response was suppose to go on your other comment lol :D
[b]- So for this you just provide the designs and Amazon provides the t-shirts with the prints and sells them? [/b]
Yup, you just worry about the designs :)
[b]- Who does the order processing and the printing of the t-shirts and the shipping?[/b]
Amazon handles everything :)
[b]- Do you set up your own website or is it an Amazon store?[/b]
Nope, everything gets sold through amazon like it were Amazons own product :)

I know people who have the ability to upload 4,000 images for shirts but have less than 1,000 done lol. I'm sure there are a lot of questions you have that we've already gone over in that discussion
Yeah, it's pretty simple :)
You won't make money right away. It's like fishing if you could throw out a few hundred lines at the same time lol :D I know people who have the ability to upload 4,000 images for shirts but have less than 1,000 done lol.
I've been talking pretty in depth over in my tutorial thread for Amazon Merch here: [url=https://www.seoclerks.com/faq/18396/Start-selling-shirts-online-with-no-inventory-Amazon-Merch-is-the-way-to-go]https://www.seoclerks.com/faq/18396/Start-selling-shirts-online-with-no-inventory-Amazon-Merch-is-the-way-to-go[/url]
Come join up over in my tutorial discussion and read up on all the posts :) I'm sure there are a lot of questions you have that we've already gone over in that discussion :D

Oh yeah, avoiding all the administrative side of things will free up hundreds of hours and let you focus on other aspects of your business. With amazon merch you can just upload your designs and wait for the sales. You may not sell a ton right away because you'll only have 25 images, but at the beginning you should just focus on building your account and ranking up. Sell your shirts for a $0.01 profit if possible. Get your level as high as possible and then start uploading everything you can get designed :D
You'll also need to do your research later on when you can upload 4,000+ shirts :D

I agree it will take time and some hard work to get going. I have no problem with hard work :)
I am seriously considering this! I just need to spend some time thinking about how I will go about it. For now I will check out what is happening in the thread about Amazon Merch and learn as much as I can from you and everyone else here.
Knowledge is power :)

Not bad for a passive income stream, right?
Well I spent $250 on designs from a company and about a month after I applied to amazon merch I found out that I couldn't use them on any website but my own (insert facepalm here).
Your investment isn't much if you don't want it to be. You can pay someone in India or the Philippines to do some design work for you to keep the costs down. You can pay them $5 per image and possibly get that down to $3 if you order in bulk. If you get accepted to amazon merch you'll be able to upload 25 designs at the start, so that's how many you'll need. If you can get the designer down to $3 per image for 25 images then that's a $75 investment, and that's all :D Not bad for a passive income stream, right? :D

Yes it was awfully stressful. It did work though and it did get me started with my online journey and I certainly learned a lot about running a business and about online marketing. But now that I am wiser and more knowledgeable I know that there are much easier and profitable ways of making money online.
I don't regret anything, it was an amazing experience but things change and so must I :)

Writing
You can consider article writing as an income stream, but that could fall under a digital service. But what I'm more referring to is if a website starts to make a good amount of money and they hire bloggers to keep the content fresh.
FBA - Fullfilled By Amazon
You can set this up so that you don't actually touch any products yourself. You'd basically be a middle man by purchasing low and selling high. You can sometimes get the manufacturer to ship to amazon under your own name so that it's more streamlined.
Amazon Merch
This is where you are basically running a t-shirt store through amazon.com. You upload your images and pick the shirt style and colors that you want to be shown. If you've been shopping on amazon.com for shirts you've probably seen a few amazon merch shirts and didn't know it
Drop shipping
Drop shipping is when you don't own any of the product, but you sell it and the owner or manufacturer sends out the product in your name. This is not the same as FBA if you have the manufacturer send items in your name to amazon. You would set up a website that either ties into a third party website and once you sell something it automatically gets fullfilled by the third party. Or you can set up a website and once you make a sale you can go to the third party manufacturer and purchase then ship to the client. The only down side of buyer for your clients and adding their shipping address is you sometimes won't be able to get your address and company info on the shipping label. You can contact the company to see if they offer drop shipping, some do and some require a minimum amount of orders before they begin to make you your own labels. I've got a few you can add to the list :) [size=160][u][b]Writing[/b][/u][/size] You can consider article writing as an income stream, but that could fall under a digital service.

The approval time could be 1 month or a year, it's unpredictable. I do know that they added a lot of new jobs in this sector so the approval rating might be much quicker :) It took me around 3 months to get approved :D [size=160][u][b]Drop shipping[/b][/u][/size] Drop shipping is when you don't own any of the product, but you sell it and the owner or manufacturer sends out the product in your name.
