This has already been a great source of easy, unsaturated niches that you can use on Merch by Amazon by using SOCIAL proof! The entire idea was to find ideas off of Amazon (on social media instead), and get some social proof that theseRead more
The trademark industry is OUT OF CONTROL. As Print on Demand sellers, we hear about this every single day. Someone has trademarked a new phrase, and is using their phrase to take down everyone’s products on Merch, Redbubble, Etsy, you name it! A while back, our good friend Ken Reil found a FREE way to combat these trademark trolls as they tried to register more common phrases and wordsRead more

It does not matter if you are an artist, a business person, a stay at home mom, or just trying to scrap together a few hundred dollars a month with Merch. Your job is to find demand (or create it), and then offer the supply. Doing anything else, is a complete waste of time.Read more
Today I am going to be bringing you one of the most exciting interviews I have ever done. This one is with one of the biggest (non partnered) Merch brands there is! If you have been on Merch by Amazon for any amount of time, you will be familiar with this brand. They have been a powerful force in some of the toughest niches out there. With how hardRead more

This is going to open up so many different opportunities for these emerging markets when it comes to your research as well as figuring out what keywords work best for culture you may not be as familiar with.
