Merch by Amazon Success: Interview with Matt Sheeran

March 26, 2018 Interview Series 2 comments

In today’s interview I got to sit down with Matt Sheeran and ask him some questions about his business. Matt has been in the merch game for a lot shorter time period than a lot of people, but has been making a name for himself. You may have seen him with RJ Martinez on YouTube, his own channel, Merch Elephant, or in any number of the Facebook groups. What struck me about Matt is that he was doing things a little bit differently than the majority of people in the MBA program. He was taking the time to learn paid traffic to add to his toolbox of skills. He was doing a lot of stuff in house (I hear his […]

Merch by Amazon Success: Interview with Amy Herberger

March 20, 2018 Interview Series 18 comments

We were ignoring the trend […]

100k School Debt to Financial Freedom – Merch by Amazon Update 10

March 8, 2018 Case Study 20 comments

February was an interesting month. A lot has happened in the world of Merch by Amazon but not too much has happened with this account (except for some increased sales!). While there has been talk of Merch throttling in all of the communities on social media, the account still managed to see increased sales. While it would be nice to compare this to last years earnings, this account does not have any earnings from last February. What I can tell you that while Amazon is having some issues with search visibility, that there is not an actual throttle going on. In this month’s case study, we are going to go over a few things that happened in February, the switch […]
