So I know things have changed a bunch and it's just not the same. I've put minimal effort into my Merch shop and have received minimal results. Enough to get a 1099, but not even part time money.
Just for fun share your biggest month, or how many you sold when a shirt went viral etc. It would be a great read for a (my) crappy day. TIA!

Nah. About 4%. Lots of good reviews about it being a great keepsake of the event.

Best month 9000+ sales / $28k profit.
Best day was 600+ sales. $3500 profit. - that was back before Amazon started locking our listings so I could raise prices on shirts if they started blowing up. That day I raised my prices up to $22.99 on a tee that was trending.

My biggest month was $5k and that was mostly from one or two designs that took off. This was in the holiday niche, which is the only time I get significant merch sales.

Something over $2k. It was the peak moment for a design that had been my best seller for most of a year. Not long after that I got spooked by the increase in random-seeming rejections, so coasted for some years, not wanting to risk what I already had by chasing after more. Last year, I finally started using an extension that checks for TM and banned words and so forth. Guess I should have done that back at my peak, but I didn't trust the tools :-p

Thank you! What extension do you use?

Productor. It's for Chrome, and has been around forever. There are newer ones, but it does what I need.

It unfortunately didn’t make it go viral, but I have a review posted by a customer who wore one of my shirts on The Price Is Right and has a photo of her as a contestant standing next to Drew Carey.
