Travis is spilling the beans on how to tap into Amazon's 2.5 billion visits—a goldmine compared to Etsy's impressive but smaller reach.

He'll guide you through choosing between individual and professional seller accounts, leveraging "Fulfilled By Amazon" (FBA) for that Prime edge, and keeping your listings live indefinitely. Learn how to snag that coveted GTIN exemption and wield the power of Amazon's Brand Registry, which not only offers brand protection but also helps with a certain level of control over your listings.
Whether you're a seasoned seller or just starting, Amazon just might be the rocket fuel for your print-on-demand dreams. Tune in an find out!
