June 27, 2017 Interview Series No comments yet

In the spirit of doing an interview series with some of the most prominent Merch by Amazon users out there, it would not be complete without including Michael Essek. Funny enough, I knew and spoke with Michael on Reddit before I even knew his real name. Since the very beginning he has been involved with the community giving out excellent advice to everyone who asked for it. He represents the other side of the spectrum when it comes to the Merch by Amazon business. Most of us are not graphic designers and rely on simply designs and outsourcing to build our business.

June 19, 2017 Interview Series 12 comments

Do you have that one friend or family member that you have been talking about Merch by Amazon with but they just would not get started?

From our previous success interviews, it can be daunting to see some of these people who do not have normal jobs (9-5) and are doing over six figures a year with thousands of designs live.

To start off our guest blog series, we invited Jewel Tolentino to write a post on a marketing strategy that I have not seen anyone really talk much about: influencer marketing.

June 5, 2017 Interview Series 2 comments

When Merch Informer first launched, Matt was one of the first people to jump on board and has stayed with us ever since then! He has seen some crazy growth with his Merch business and regularly posts in the Facebook groups giving general advice and getting people motivated by displaying large daily selling numbers.

He is one of the most helpful Merchers out there, so I will let him take it away! Tell us a little about who you are and a general ballpark of how much per month you […]
