Course Description
Have you ever wanted to start your own clothing brand?
Have you always dreamed of earning money in your sleep, or from a tropical beach?
Or maybe you just want to earn more money and own more businesses and assets?
This course will take you from zero to hero, and teach you, step by step, how to start, run and grow a passive, online business using the amazing Merch by Amazon platform. You'll learn how to design, upload, sell and dropship your t-shirts to people using Amazon's own traffic. You don't need to deal with paid marketing or advertising, customer service, printing, shipping, inventory, or anything else. I'm being serious... All you need to do is upload designs and collect a monthly paycheck!
March by Amazon allows you to focus on sales, whilst everything else is taken care of for you.
Sounds good, right? If you agree with me, read on...
Learn from a four-time-best-selling Udemy instructor and multiple 6 figure E-Commerce entrepreneur as he teaches you the ins-and-outs of a Merch by Amazon business from scratch. The course is designed for beginners and will take you through all of the necessary knowledge and skills required to get your Merch business started the right way. Not only will you learn how to start your own Merch business, but you'll also get access to Adam's awesome monthly progress reports. In this bonus 'progress reports' section, you get to see exactly where Adam's Merch business is each month, how many sales he made that month, and how he did it. You'll hear from him first-hand about his plans and strategies for the months ahead, so you can try and apply the same strategies to your business, too.
They say the best way to grow your business is to learn from someone one or two steps ahead of you.
Well, using Adam's progress reports you can join him on his journey and learn from him while he genuinely is just a few steps ahead of you! His progress reports start from just a few months in to his Merch by Amazon business, and document every single month's sales, thoughts and strategies right up to the present day. You can watch, copy and implement his ideas and tips in to your own Merch journey!

As the course title suggests, it is just a 'guide' for beginners. The course provides outdated information as it was recorded in 2017 and early 2018. Merch by Amazon has surely moved a lot since then (it is 2021 now). I haven't found any uniquely valuable information that you won't find on YouTube for free. The tutor seemed hesitant about some of the information provided. Now the catch is that this course is sold for two prices, if you are a new subscriber to Udemy, you might pay a reduced amount (approx. 10% of the original price), otherwise you will need to pay the full amount. Definitely, this exaggerated price is a waste of money.

Very good overview. I will be able to start an Amazon Merch business from this course. Last update was over a year and a half ago. Not sure if this is the most up to date information anymore.
By John Meaden on 5/17/2018
Great course and good overall explanation of the process No huge design tips here but a solid course on how to get up and running on Merch and updated sections on the Authors progress to date. Good job
By Jerry Hart on 4/18/2018
Very happy with this instructor and the way he lays out his courses. He doesn't assume people already have knowledge in this subject and goes very in-depth with easy to follow instructions. Thanks.
By Bee C. on 1/26/2018
I love that Adam gets to the point without wasting time. He speaks proper English that is understandable and especially, he explains the reasons behind everything very well, which is valuable information one can learn from his course. A++++

Thanks so much for all of the helpful insight and information so far in this course. The research part is very valuable I appreciate you laying out the class the way you have. I look forward to getting started on my merch account!
By Parrish Lee on 12/17/2017
What was explained was done so really well and I got a bunch out of it. I watched every video in fact. But when I get to the end after investing however many hours to see that your own sales have failed made me feel like I wasted my time and my money researching this.
By Caroline Long on 11/25/2017
I started on Amazon Merch in May 2017 and I had treated it as a hobby. After listening to Adam, I realized that having an MbA-account is a privilege and should be used much better. He explained everything really well and in an entertaining way, and I could not stop watching it. I already made some improvements and hope to get to the 100 tier in the next few days. I can highly recommend this course!
By Aykhan Zeynalov on 11/24/2017
It is an awesome course with an awesome income strategy, which was revealed by Adam. The course is very useful and easy to understand. Except that, Adam will add new lectures here constantly and this is amazing. Highly recommend to buy this course it is worth of it! It will be the next Adam'a bestseller, definitely. Adam is an amazing instructor, he is really professional of online business and he his courses, at least several, are bestsellers, his courses are always the most comprehensive, which i ever took. And Adam has a huge experience in this kind of business, and always ready to help you and answer to your questions. Respect you, Adam! Highly recommended!

Fantastic, Detailed and Thoroughly covering everything needed. I have bought courses from Adam before and have integrated into his community.
