Single Upload Interface vs Merch Titans
I had received some questions in the comment asking to describe the different between Merch Informer's uploader vs Merch Titan's uploader.
Here was my response:
This is my quick attempt to summarize the differences:
Merch Informer's is easier to use & less intrusive (chromium doesn't stay open)
Merch Titan's is a much more robust/advanced product at the moment. Quick example: MT supports using Redbubble's "Copy" feature which is CRITICAL in my opinion because it pretty much guarantees that your designs will be positioned correctly... MI does not at the moment.
MT also supports uploads to more platforms (+ Amazon Merch being the most popular)
Note: The "ease of use" difference is not a huge deal once you're comfortable using either tool. Like anything else in life, if you've done it a few times, it gets easier & easier.
Finally, the last difference: PRICE!
If cost prohibited you from buying MT... MI is an affordable alternative. I strongly believe that if you buy the tool & actually use it, it will easily pay for itself.

Questions & Answers
Here are some of the questions that I didn't answer:
Q: Is using a tool like this against the terms of service for Merch by Amazon?
A: Yes
Note: The person who asked also asked if I had gotten in trouble for using similar tools in the past... the answer to that is no - I still use upload automation daily
Q: Could that be applied in google drive also?
A: You should be able to create the CSV files for your upload information in Google Drive --> download them --> use them in the app with no issue
Q: Would you mind telling using quotes on brand name, titles, bullet point helps in ranking, or any tips for selecting brand name, tips about multiple brand for generic niche is appreciated, Tnx
A: If by quotes you were referring to famous quotes, I would refer to the USPTO trademark database (tmsearch.uspto.gov)
A: As far as keyword strategy goes, I typically repeat my primary keywords in the Brand + Title + Bullet Points. It signals to the Amazon algorithm to associate your listing with those keywords
Q: Hey guys whats best advice you can give on etsy, and how the seo works and to get first sales and get visits? I have OVER 100 listings and get a ew faviorites for my shirts here and there but no sales
A: When a listing "renews" on Etsy, it gets priority placement. You can renew listings early (costing $0.20) to improve placement. Also use tags strategically & also make sure your Shop is setup in an optimal way & spend some extra time making your listings better. Also, make a good primary thumbnail
Note: My [FREE] Etsy+Printful Mini Course will touch on a lot of these, & my full-blown Dropshipped Print on Demand Course shares every last detail possible that helped me achieve success on Etsy
Q: What about resizing on each product?
A: This isn't built into the app right now, it follows the standard/default flow. In the future I'm guessing they will build in the ability to use Redbubble's "Copy" feature
Q: Where you can buy designs for POD? Other than fiverr
A: I don't buy designs... but stay tuned, I've got something big coming in the near-future related to creating designs
Q: Will there be an Merch by Amazon integration?
A: Neil said no, because it's against the Amazon Merch TOS.
Note: My friends over @ Merch Titans built an upload automation tool that support Amazon Merch that I use daily.
