Let’s be honest, selling merch online can be a daunting task. Without the help of someone who knows the game it’s almost impossible. So many things to check off. Having to think about setting up a shop, product selection, artwork (branding), fulfilment and choosing the right platform. For someone like you who wants to perform or share great content, these are not the right things to focus on. And doing all of this by yourself will end up in disappointment and being a waste of time. Here’s where Merch.Music, may be able to help out. From what we can see they’ve built one of the easiest solutions to selling merch online. Making merch easy and accessible.

Here’s what Merch.Music say:

“It’s our mission to enable artists, early-stage to established, to sell Merch directly to fans all across the world with zero risk, stock or commitment. Any artist can generate revenue in minutes with no upfront costs."


Fire up your own personalised merch store
There’s a lot to take care of if you’re to operate your merch process professionally, that’s before you even get to fulfilment (i.e. getting the orders out to your fans!). You’ll obviously need a logo and other design assets so Merch.Music will fire up your personalised ‘artist’ store in a matter of days.

Get your brand out there and make some money. We especially like that bit!
