Sell Your Amazon Merch Designs On Etsy With The New Printful Integration

September 19, 2017 Etsy 104 comments

When we all jumped into Merch by Amazon 2 years ago, we had no idea how far the rabbit hole went! As some of you know, we stayed away from the Merch space because it seemed that everyone was starting a t-shirt business and that most of those failed. This ALL changed when Merch by Amazon came out and it became obvious that a winning strategy was creating great designs for a market that was already there and hungry for our products. If we did not have to figure out how to market the shirts outside of a platform (like Teespring), and customers would just find products organically and purchase them, this sounded both lucrative and easy!

September 12, 2017 Amazon, Case Study 43 comments

How to Value and Sell a Merch by Amazon Business, by the Man Who’s Sold Hundreds Of Millions in Online Businesses

September 4, 2017 Amazon 30 comments

As many of you may know, before we started Merch Informer I was big into the affiliate marketing scene building large scale websites and eventually selling them. This is a great business model (it can even be used to sell more merch shirts!) and you meet a lot of really great people in the business along the way. This is how I met Thomas and the team over at FE International. Throughout the years I have known him, he has always been an excellent source of information and advice. Since I have sold a few Merch by Amazon businesses in the past that has caused a lot of controversy, I thought I would get up a post about how exactly […]
