Merch Minds Podcast - Episode 124: Interview With Tyler Dooley May 01, 2019

Show notes

In this week's episode, the boys interview Tyler Dooley who is an up-and-comer in the POD community. He attended the private mastermind event that was held in Orange County back in March. He met Yong there for the first time and it was a match made in heaven.

Like most of us, Tyler's Merch numbers have tanked. However, he has been diligently working on Etsy and now has five stores. With a system in place and leveraging his VA's, Tyler is expected to open his sixth store by the end of the year.

We will keep in touch with Tyler and keep up with his journey. If you haven't started an Etsy business it's not too late. There is no better time than now to start leveraging the same designs you have on Merch on different platforms.

Merch Minds Podcast - Episode 122: Interview with Zach Knickerbocker Apr 17, 2019

Show notes

This week the man with the most well-known name in New York City stops by the Merch Minds Podcast. Zach Knickerbocker started his Merch journey just a year and a half ago and he's already making on average $5k per month. Zach is obviously making moves and stamping his name in the community.

Some argue that he might have a slight edge over others because he actually works for Amazon. But Zach's day job has nothing to do with Merch. He told the boys that he has no direct connection with the people at Merch by Amazon.

So how did he scale his account? It was through hard work and determination. He wanted to build an income stream outside of his day job and as a developer, he was already comfortable being in front of a computer. This allowed him to be able to design his own shirts and scale at a rapid rate.

Make sure and subscribe to Zach on his YouTube channel, which is listed below. He promised to put out more content on his channel in the near future. Also, make sure and show him some love on Instagram.

Merch Minds Podcast - Episode 117: Interview with Mr. Mitch Fairchild from Student Like a Boss Mar 13, 2019

Show notes

This is the best feel-good episode ever of the Merch Minds Podcast. This week the boys talk to Mitch Fairfield from Texas. Unlike most of us who are in the business of POD for ourselves, Mitch is teaching special needs students the skills to be a designer.

Glen and Yong originally met Mitch back in 2017 at the Denver seminar. Mitch drove all the way from Austin, Texas to attend the seminar and afterward drove back home immediately. Excited about what he learned he went back home and launched a program that teaches kids to design but more importantly the lesson on being entrepreneurs.

We support Mr. Fairfield with everything he has done for the kids. We are encouraging everyone to please support him by subscribing to his channel where he showcases his students and their work. In addition to his YouTube channel make sure and follow him on Facebook and Instagram. All the links are listed below.

Merch Minds Podcast - Episode 116: Is KDP a Profitable and Sustainable Business Feb 26, 2019

Show notes

With so many people on the KDP bandwagon, Glen and Yong discuss if it's a sustainable business. While journal publishing is considered print-on-demand it is different compared to Merch. The main difference is the products are not removed due to no sales because each journal is assigned an ISBN number.

The boys break down on what they think about the KDP business model. Obviously, people are making good money on KDP such as their good friend Kelli Publish. They believe as long as you focus on quality and have a long-term plan that KDP can be a profitable business.

What are your thoughts? Are you venturing into KDP and do you think it's a profitable and sustainable business? Let the boys you know with your comments and opinions.
