Q4 Results So Far, the Future of Amazon Royalties, 12 Tools of Merchmas | Ep.11

December 19, 2017

In this Episode:
Q4 results to date – what I've been doing to keep my sales on the uptrend during this time of listing throttling, all-out suppression, and the freeze of all Merch by Amazon accounts on December 5th. I also touch on some success I've had selling on Redbubble during the quarter.

The Future of Amazon Royalties – My thoughts on the news that Amazon will be reducing Merch royalties in January 2018, and what it means for my Merch business going forward.

The 12 Tools of Merchmas – I give you a rundown of 12 tools I use on a daily basis in my POD business. From research tools to graphics to reporting, there's a little a little Christmas magic in each one.
