When it comes to selling on Amazon, there has always been one category near and dear to my heart. As weird as it sounds, clothing is one of my favorite categories to sell on Amazon.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I know that most people tend to shy away from selling clothes on Amazon, but I\u2019m a huge fan.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Why do I love to sell clothing on Amazon? Because it takes extra effort and that sets me apart from other sellers. Plus the clothing market on Amazon is one of its fastest growing segments (actually found this out while taking a tour of an Amazon warehouse a few years back).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Over the years, I have made a good sum of money buying and selling clothes products on Amazon. People love buying clothes on Amazon because it is easy to do, returns are easy, and the selection is incredible.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Understanding how to sell clothes can open up new doors and opportunities for those selling on Amazon.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

However, a seller must first understand how selling clothing on Amazon works before venturing into the business. It\u2019s a little trickier than just scanning an item in a store and sending it into a warehouse. But if you learn the ropes, you can start setting yourself apart from other sellers.<\/span><\/p>\n

That\u2019s why I decided to create this guide. To provide anyone looking to sell clothes on Amazon a guide that can help them get started and avoid a few of the mistakes I have made along the way.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

So let\u2019s get started on how to sell clothing. Here is your ultimate guide to selling clothes on Amazon. <\/span><\/p>\n

Why You Should Start Reselling Clothes On Amazon<\/h2>\n

Well. To be frank, there is a lot of money to be made by reselling clothes on Amazon. We are going to take this section to dive a little deeper into the reasons there is a high demand for clothing on Amazon and why sellers on Amazon have the opportunity to profit from it.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Over the past 5 years, there has been a massive shift from a retail environment to an online one (just take a look at the current state of malls and retail stores across the country). This shift has changed the way people buy clothes and more and more people are searching the web for their next outfit.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

When someone searches online for clothes, they are most likely going to go to their favorite online retailer. For most, that means Amazon.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Since there is a demand for clothing on Amazon, sellers who take advantage of fulfilling the supply side of the equation are able to make some money. If you are able to provide the customer with a product they like and in their size, you have the opportunity to land a sale.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Amazon does most of the heavy lifting for you with the advertising, promotion, and even order handling, and all you have to do is ship the clothes to the customer.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Sounds like fun (and a money maker)…right?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I started selling clothing online a few years back by venturing into the world of t-shirts. If you take a look at my t-shirt draw at my house, you would most likely agree with my wife that I have way too many t-shirts.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I have everything from Indiana brewery shirts to shirts with stupid sayings on them. Since me, a fashion master (heavy sarcasm here), is willing to drop $15 on a shirt, there has to be a market for shirts on Amazon.<\/span><\/p>\n

After a few months of selling shirts, I realized there was INDEED a market on Amazon and I was able to make some serious cash. Since then, I have expanded into additional products and have clothing as one of main categories in my portfolio.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

So why should you start selling clothes on Amazon? Why not?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

How To Start Selling Clothing On Amazon<\/span><\/h2>\n

It looks like I convinced you to start selling clothing on Amazon (I can tell I really had to twist your arm). Now it\u2019s time to get everything set up on Amazon to get started.<\/span><\/p>\n

First, you need to open a seller account on Amazon (that can be done <\/span>here<\/span><\/a>). Amazon does a pretty good job of walking you through the steps, but make sure to read everything as you sign up.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Now that you have an account, you would assume you are good to go\u2026.right? Not quite. To provide customers with a high quality shopping experience, Amazon requires approval to sell in certain categories before you can start selling those items.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Clothing is one of those categories (which isn\u2019t surprising), so you will have to request and receive approval before you are able to sell any clothes on Amazon.<\/span><\/p>\n

Applying for approval is pretty straightforward, but it does take a little bit of time. If you need to apply for approval, you can do that <\/span>here<\/span><\/a>. Provide Amazon with all of the requested information and you should be good to go.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

You just have to sit around and wait until you get approved (if you have nothing else to do, you might want to <\/span>take some time to read this article<\/span><\/a>)\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Once you get your approval, you are good to go! All you need to do is find a product, list it through Seller Central, and wait for sales to start rolling in. Sometimes this happens really quick and sometimes it takes quite a bit of time to get sales trickling in.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

You want to consider optimizing your listing when you create them if you want to speed up the process. This makes it easier for potential customers to find your products and hopefully help with conversions.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Here are a few tips for optimizing your Amazon profile and listings that you create:<\/span><\/p>\n
