| 0:35.2 | Way back in the dark ages, also known as Year One of the Podcast, we featured several |
| 0:41.5 | stories of people who had done quite well using the Merch by Amazon platform, and they were |
| 0:47.4 | typically using this platform to sell T-shirts and other print on-demand items. If you're not |
