How Trump Is Making People Money Online ($3681 from 1 Sticker)

📝 An article from The Verge…

• The Trump rally shooting is a cash cow for the dropshippers

An excerpt…

Within hours of a shooter attempting to assassinate Donald Trump at a rally on Saturday, countless products emblazoned with an image of Trump, bloodied and fist raised, were for sale on e-commerce platforms.

For example, listed as bestsellers on Amazon are this $12 mug and this $16 t-shirt 👕

Lots of similar products on Etsy, including a bunch of digital downloads.

This $7.50 digital download is listed as “popular now” and I wouldn’t be surprised if it has sold 100s of units already 📈

I also found this $11.49 gag gift on Etsy. It’s basically a fake donation receipt to the Biden-Harris campaign that people can send to Trump supporters.

Etsy Hunt estimates that 867 sales of that product = $9,961 revenue 💰

Perhaps more impressive is this Trump Merica Svg. 

Priced at $2.66, Etsy Hunt estimates 1384 sales = $3,681 revenue 🤑

And that’s a digital download, basically just an image, no shipping costs. People buy the image to put it on t-shirts, stickers, etc.

Back to that Verge article…

Any enterprising sellers with two free minutes and a Redbubble account can get in on the action — and so far, platforms seem willing to accommodate the merch. And if there’s money to be made, you can bet someone out there will try to make it.

Btw, I posted this on X a couple of days ago with some other examples 👍

And now that Biden has dropped out of the race, I guess there will be a market for merch related to whoever replaces him.
