The Passive Shirt Profits Podcast

This will be the 5th Christmas for Merch By Amazon (my 4th), and as you can imagine, competition is thicker than ever.

Nevertheless, there is still good money to be made and MBA is definitely STILL worth focusing on. Even if you do nothing else with Merch the rest of the year, this is the time of year to upload.

In this episode I share what my strategy will be based on what I've learned in the previous years two years.

There's always more than one way of promoting your work. But I'm very glad I didn't tackle Pinterest and social media until I already had some organic sales under my best. I have created a lot of different POD accounts over the years and I typically approach them the same way in each case. I focus on building up organic sales FIRST.... then I branch out to social media.  In this episode I will explain why I operate like this.

Pinterest is one of the most popular search engines on the Web. Not only is it free, but it CONVERTS sales. I now know this and you can see the results in a YouTube video.

In this episode I share why some people don't like Pinterest and why it may or may not be a fit for you. No matter if it works or not, it's definitely worth trying. There's too much traffic potential to ignore it!

If you're not getting traffic or sales, perhaps you're ignoring the 4 things Pinterest's algorithm looks for when it comes to ranking images. I'll discuss what those are in this episode.

If you're brand new to Print on Demand, take my Starter Course for a great overview of how POD works.

Keyword research is THE most important step of earning with print on demand if you are only relying on free, organic traffic.

I find that many people either try to skip this step because they don't realize the necessity. Too many people focus on what they like to design versus what is in demand. It's why so many never meet their income goals.

In this episode I'm sharing my 3 favorite tools and a little bit about how I use them.

Also, as promised, here's the link to my detailed brand building post.

I just hit my first $2000 month with my POD brand that I built up by starting with free POD traffic. In this episode I'm sharing some strategies I use.

In March 2019, I had my lowest Merch By Amazon month since January 2017. However, my income is growing on other platforms and so is my brand. If you want to earn with POD in the long run, you better follow in my footsteps or you'll be left behind chasing keyword after keyword after keyword. Keyword chasing will make you short-term money, but building a brand will keep you in the game for the long haul. Let's get it!

On Friday, April 12th, Merch rolled out tank tops, V-necks and raglan tees. I'm sharing my upload strategy and offering some tips you may want to follow when you get access to the new products.

Merch Wizard is an amazing tool. It organizes all your listings with the click of a button, and lets your sort and report by any criteria (revenue, royalty, returns, you name it). But there are some drawbacks, and in this episode I'm giving you the good and the bad.

If you're going to buy gifts for someone anyway, why not let the gift boost your Merch income? In this episode I share how I use a gifting strategy to sell more evergreen designs. I also discuss my thoughts and strategy on the new royalties for long sleeves.
