#68: Let's talk Amazon merch
In this extended episode we talk to a Merch expert as well as a coach in our community who are both very knowledgeable about Merch! Merch is really heating up and it's a pretty simple biz model too. All you have to do is submit simple t-shirt design ideas to Amazon (free) and they wait for sales to be made. You get paid a nice profit for each sale! While we don't consider Merch a great income model on its own just yet, we do think it's a great add on stream of income for anyone who wants to dive into custom printed shirts on the number one shirt selling website in the U.S. - Amazon.com!

#65: If you are so good at selling why do you teach instead of just selling?
My partners and I have an 8 figure physical product business online. We could live VERY comfortably ONLY selling stuff to random strangers. Why don't we just do it then? Aren't we inviting competitors when we share our ideas and products publicly? One of the questions we get from time to time from new members of our community is this, "If you are so good at selling why do you teach instead of just selling?" It's a fair question, and on this episode, I answer all those questions!
