    Q2 & Q3 Recap, New POD Graphics Bundle Product – Ep.16

    In this episode, I revisit 2019 Q2 & Q3 results, as well as give you some insight into two merch plugins I use daily. * Merch Wizard (https://merchwizard.app/)* Merch Informer Lister (https://merchinformer.com) New Graphic Bundle Products After 2 1/2 years of creating graphics for my POD designs. Its time to start sharing the love. Introducing... $5 Files – Five Buck Files Graphic assets created by me, Alf Brand. You won't find these anywhere else – they're fresh from my asset library and curated into bundles. With a pretty open license too. You can use the assets in your design (granted you embellish a bit). You can sell them on any POD product, for as long as you like, the more sales you make the happier I'll be.  The first of the Five Buck Files is a Halloween Bundle. The bundle contains 30+ Halloween themed elements, in vector format EPS. This way you can break things apart and rework them with minimal effort. And you'll also get a custom font called "Toxic Waste"... Yes, I make my own fonts too. For a Limited Time, I'm making this Halloween bundle available to everyone at the introductory low price of - whatever you want to pay me. Yup that’s right, for my loyal podcast listeners, and early-bird buyers, it's free ! Or, if you want to make a donation - I'm cool with that too. I want this!
