Show notes

This week Kelli Roberts better know as KelliPublish returns to the show. The boys catch up with her and see how her businesses are doing. She discloses her numbers for December 2018 publishing low-content books on Amazon.

If you remember Kelli made $17k in the month of December 2017. She had set her goal to do more than double that but unfortunately, she wasn't able to meet her goal. However, she's staying positive because she knows that she still made more in month than some people make in a year.

She's working on other projects as well. She talks about hiring ghostwriters and working on audiobooks. Make sure to subscribe to her YouTube channel because she gives great advice and her channel is growing.

Merch Minds Podcast - Episode 113: Interview with Rob Cubbon Jan 30, 2019

Show notes

Rob Cubbon is an entrepreneur living the good life. After creating multiple income streams for himself he moved from London to Chiang Mai, Thailand. He moved to greener pastures where he lives a stress-free life while making money online.

Rob scaled his KDP account to where he is making well over $1000 per month with low and no-content books. He also does a little Merch by Amazon. While his numbers might not be mind-blowing in the sense that over six-figures per year he's living in a place where the cost of living is ridiculously low.

Rob has a course on how you can build and scale your KDP account. He is offering the listeners of the Merch Minds Podcast a generous offer of $49 for his Selling Notebooks & Low Content Paperback Books On Amazon course. There are no expiration dates and no coupon is needed for this exclusive offer.

Do you guys want another option to run your own POD business? This week the boys talk to Dean Jayroe and Courtney Cramer. This powerhouse couple purchased their own DTG printer to fulfill their own shirts outside of Amazon and business is booming!

Merch Minds Podcast - Episode 107: Are We Being Throttled? Nov 28, 2018

Show notes

The boys apologize for the audio quality in this episode. What do you expect when RJ Martinez joins them for an episode of the Merch Minds Podcast? He brings bad mojo and bad audio quality.

As mentioned RJ Martinez joined Glen and Yong to talk possible throttling. Despite what Amazon is saying Yong strongly believes that Amazon is throttling everyone across the board. This is all to reduce chaos in the forums and to reduce emails being sent to Amazon.

On Thursday, November 15, 2018, both Yong and RJ experienced an unusual day of sales that went through the roof. Yong sold five times more than what he normally does. Then the whole ASIN removal on Cyber Monday really was what made them believe that there is throttling even though Amazon denies it. What do you guys believe?

Merch Minds Podcast - Episode 106: How to Communicate with Your Graphic Designer Nov 20, 2018

Show notes

Glen is becoming a superstar and he seems to be too good to hang out with Yong. Glen was in San Jose, CA visiting the eBay headquarters and ignored all of his Yong's messages. First Time magazine and now eBay Live!

On this episode, Glen and Yong talk about the importance of good communication with your designer. Unfortunately, people are still not communicating with Yong when purchasing custom designs even though he provides clear instructions. This is causing unnecessary revisions and causing more work for Yong and his designer.

This is something that has been discussed on the show before. Always give a full and detailed description of what you want regardless of who you hire. The better you communicate the better relationship you will develop with your designer.
