All language subtitles for 04-Course-Tools

Hi guys.

These are the tools were going to use to assist

us throughout the course throughout the full duration of your

Amazon merch career or secondary career,

whatever you want to call it.

So,

the first one is called pretty merchnow pretty much.

I'm going to drag this over from my side monitor.

It makes your merch dashboard,

look pretty,

like,

let's just say,

we call it what it is.

Gives you a lot more valuable information,

including like real-time sales data yesterday,

sales data,

last month's sales data last week yet those last seven

days and then even all time.

So it is quite valuable,

quite nice to be able to drill down into those

data sets.

It also provides additional functionality.

Now,

there is a free version and a paid version at

a minimum,

go grab the free version because it's going to give

you all this data that you see here for free,

but the paid version also has some additional functionality built-in.

Like the analytics can be helpful and my favorite is

that product have the product tablets you manage.

Like essentially you can delete products that aren't selling an

Where is it would be very hard to figure out.

Like,

let's just say you have a product life for a

month.

Well,

in the past,

they used to fall off these to be pulled off

merch by Amazon.

After I think it was 90 90 days.

So you don't really have to worry about deleting them.

Cuz 90 days is pretty short,

nowadays.

Will,

then they did a double 9280,

then they doubled 180 to 360 and I would have

just rather had to be 90.

Honestly may be 180 right in the middle,

but pretty much will help you free up some upload

spots by deleting the shorts that aren't selling cuz honestly,

after 90 days it's probably not going to sell so

pretty much is great,

But you have to upgrade for what I was,

just describing with the products tab.

I think that's a pro feature.

Things like $9 a month and not sure.

Merch Seward's.

This is one that on actually built with a friend

and what this does is when you have it installed

and you are up.

Oh,

look at that.

I just got access to phone cases.

Nice.

I just got literally just got it.

That's completely authentic.

I didn't have them yesterday.

And today,

I do nice with murky words.

It's a Chrome extensions.

Free.

Just click,

click click,

add to Chrome.

Then when you are typing in your keywords,

for your merch listing,

it will highlight in red.

If you if you include a trigger word,

let me be clear,

though.

This is not doing trademark validation.

It's only doing validation on words that are against the

merch content policy.

So you still need to do your own trademark research,

which of course,

is covered in the course,

but words,

like glitter neon glow in the dark.

All those are trigger words.

So they will help.

You avoid rejection is for free by highlighting in red

and I think it changes the published button to actually.

Yeah,

you see the published button down here,

it turns yellow.

And it says,

continue and accept the risk,

basically saying like a be careful.

Ideas,

Amazon,

quickview.

This is one of my all-time favorite Chrome,

extensions.

Actually.

You know what?

I'm going to show you Amazon suggestion,

expander first.

So Amazon suggestion,

expander.

When you come over here to Amazon in,

you start searching for something.

Like let's just say,

funny shirt.

It expands the autocomplete and it shows you key words

before he words after,

and just related keywords based on Amazon's autocomplete.

So it's doing that research for us.

So you can see if we want to sell funny

shirts.

Maybe we try to sell funny shirts for dog,

or funny shirts for dad funny,

shirts for husband.

Now I know all of these examples are like very

generic,

very high-level.

But let's say a funny shirt for Dad and let's

see if it okay for Dad from daughter.

Funny shirts for dads world's best farter.

I mean,

father t-shirt.

So it's giving us suggestions based on Amazon.

Autocomplete is extremely useful.

When coming up with ideas cuz you can just provide

a couple seed keywords like funny shirt,

and it does the rest for us now by hit

enter.

Where DS?

Amazon,

quickview comes into play.

This was the third link from the tools.

It puts these numbers here underneath the listings in search

results.

Now.

These numbers represent BSR or bestseller rank,

that's a data point that Amazon exposes public publicly,

that shows us how well a product is selling relative

to other products in its Amazon category because every listing

on Amazon has to be categorized.

So the lower the BSR,

the better and this is indicative of how well,

something selling,

how many sales they're essentially,

how many sales they've made recently because BSR,

really is a recent sales data data point.

But the more sales you drive,

like if you make a sale today,

you get an immediate Improvement,

meaning lower BSR.

If you made sales over time,

you can also see a decline in vs our overtime.

So it's a very useful tool.

Adobe Photoshop.

So this is my preferred design software and when

we get into the module on design,

I do include a Photoshop template that I use for

my Photoshop self.

It's nothing crazy.

It's just like a white background black background and a

grungy file to help you do distressed designs,

which I walk you through in the course,

obviously,

if you don't like Photoshop,

there is a alternative to photoshop called canva and this

can assist you in designing in your web browser,

this costs.

I think just as much as Photoshop does the comparable.

I think if you do an annual license on canvas,

I think it's like $8 a month or 9 bucks

a month.

And I think photoshop's like 10 bucks a month,

but I have heard people say it's 20 month.

I swear.

I think there's a way to get it for $10

a month.

Don't quote me.

There's a thing.

My day job that I used to work.

I've sent quit that job,

but I still have my license through that job.

So I'm basically getting Photoshop for free at the moment.

So knock on wood.

Hopefully that that that wasn't what actually here is right

there.

I knocked on wood.

Hopefully,

I'll continue to get Photoshop for free.

That would be nice.

Otherwise,

I'll figure out what it actually costs.

And then the last one is merch Titans automation.

So this is what the merge Titans automation app.

Looks like they're actually relaunching the app in like a

week or less.

And it's going to look a lot nicer be easier

to use.

But essentially merged science automation with the Stars in.

This is the whole bonus section of our course,

is it,

it does just that it allows you to automate your

uploads to Amazon merch.

So,

and what's even better about it.

Not only will it automate your upload speed.

If you design like,

for instance,

this canvas size right here.

And don't worry.

I'm going to get into all this in more depth

in the future lectures,

but this canvas size right here is 4500 pixels by

5400 pixels.

This is the standard dimensions for Amazon merch.

If you want to upload to phone cases.

Popsockets hoodies,

Amazon,

merch wants you to upload at different dimensions for the

product types.

Well,

here's a huge benefit of merge Titans.

They will rear-ender your graphic for you at the right

dimensions for those products.

So we don't have to spend any extra time doing

that.

How awesome is that?

So I love her side and it also,

obviously let you upload to additional platforms,

which I would recommend doing to maximize your coverage,

which will assist you in maximizing her income.

So that's it for the course tools.

There are also going to be some additional tools that

I covered his course such as Merchants former.

However,

that is not in my book is not required.

So I didn't want to put it here and have

a bunch of you guys going and paying for it.

When It's like it is nice to have and I'm

going to walk you through like full tutorials on how

to use it.

But if you don't want to pay for it,

I'm also going to give you free to Torrey Hills

and how to do nice research without the assistance of

paid tool.

So,

I just wanted to,

like,

I didn't include it here cuz I didn't want you

guys to feel like you had to go pay for

it yet.
