Navigating the Merch By Amazon Tier System
NOTE: Starting with this issue, the name has changed from POD Weekly to POD Post to reflect publishing schedule changes.
Amazon makes it a little difficult to get started on their platform, but it is actually a good way for sellers to learn good POD business practice.
Manage your portfolio well, find your markets and serve them, and use designs that stand out and grab attention, utilize good copywriting and product descriptions you will make sales, move up tiers, and be on your way to Pro level.
Read our in-depth guide to navigating the Merch by Amazon tier system.

Print-on-demand works particularly well for charities by allowing you to have a range of branded and themed products that resonate with your charity’s audience, that are only printed, packaged and shipped on the completion of the purchase. For example if you were selling charity branded apparel, this means that you don’t have the usual upfront costs related to ordering bulk stock in all the different sizes and colours that you’d usually need to cater to your audience.3

Because, now, fast forward 47 years, and email has soared to become one of the world’s foremost communication channels. It’s reported that over 12.54 billion business emails and 111.1 billion personal emails are sent and received every single day.4

If you have a flare for fashion and don’t want to risk carrying inventory, a site like Printful lets you set up on demand printing on many apparel items — and you only pay if they sell. They integrate with Etsy and other e-commerce sites to make the whole operation turnkey.5
