Designing for Success: My Amazon Merch Journey as an AuDHD Artist

Success on Amazon Merch and other print-on-demand platforms requires a combination of hard work, strategy, and creativity. As an AuDHD artist, I've found that it's important for me to occasionally create designs that I personally love and would want to buy. This helps keep me interested and engaged in the whole process. While it's important to approach print-on-demand in a business-minded way, it's also crucial to maintain a sense of creativity and enjoyment in the process.

When I first started on Amazon Merch back in 2017, I was already selling on Redbubble. However, I quickly realized that to succeed at POD, I needed to diversify my offerings and focus on uploading as many quality designs as possible. It wasn't just about sales, but also about the number of designs I uploaded and the markets I targeted. I found that finding niches and expanding from there was key to success.

Of course, uploading design after design can be draining, but taking breaks to create designs that truly inspire and motivate you can help. In my case, it's important for me to balance my business-focused approach with my own artistic interests. By doing so, I can stay engaged and energized in the process of creating and uploading designs.

So, my advice for anyone looking to succeed on Amazon Merch or any print-on-demand platform is to find a balance between a business-minded approach and a creative one. Keep uploading as many quality designs as possible, but also take breaks to create designs that inspire and motivate you. By doing so, you'll be able to stay engaged and enjoy the process of growing your print-on-demand business.
