If you\u2019re a gamer, merch might not seem like a money making option. But it\u2019s a way to monetize your gaming passion AND build your own brand right from your bedroom.<\/span><\/p>\n

Spreadshop<\/a> has helped creators of all kinds turn a profit. It\u2019s FREE and easy to use. Upload designs onto hundreds of products. If anything\u2019s challenging, it\u2019s coming up with merch designs.<\/span><\/p>\n

Here\u2019s some inspo to help you come up with designs for your merch shop!<\/span><\/p>\n

Be the Face of Your Brand<\/h2>\n

If you have a dedicated audience, they\u2019ll support you; whether that means paying for a livestream or buying your merch. And they followed you because of who you are.<\/span><\/p>\n

Use your personality to your advantage. Offer a design in your shop that capitalizes on your likeness. We\u2019ve seen many shop owners find success with similar designs.<\/span><\/p>\n

Don\u2019t have design experience? Use a FREE design tool like Canva<\/a>, hire a designer through Fiverr<\/a>, or ask friends to see if they know a designer looking to get experience. Professional, quality looking designs are key to making merch sales and earn money gaming.<\/span><\/p>\n

Gamer Graphics<\/h2>\n

Being a gamer gives you so many different design opportunities. You can play around with things like consoles, controllers, and gamer phrases when it comes to your merch. We particularly love when shop owners embrace a retro feel with their designs.<\/span><\/p>\n

When you upgrade to a premium\/pro plan on design tools like Canva, you have access to all kinds of graphics. You can even alter the coloring and style of some of them to better suit your branding.<\/span><\/p>\n

If you want to think more outside the box, use quotes or phrases you\u2019ve heard in the gaming world. These can be things that only gamers would understand, like the headaches of multi gamer play or the struggles of Minecraft. If it\u2019s more specific, it will really speak to your target audience. And ultimately that\u2019s the goal.<\/span><\/p>\n

Have an Official Logo<\/h2>\n

If you don\u2019t already have a logo, now\u2019s the time. Even if you want your merch line to appeal to people in the gaming world, you still want it to feel specific to you. A logo is a great identifier for people. Whenever they see it, they\u2019ll associate you with it.<\/span><\/p>\n

A logo can be a great first design to lead your merch drop. It introduces you right off that bat and can help establish your brand. PRO TIP: We recommend launching 1-2 new designs a month. This way, people will have a reason to keep coming back to your merch shop. <\/span><\/p>\n
