Let me take a wild guess

You’re tired of throwing money down the drain on failed merch attempts, right? You’ve got killer ideas, but the process of bringing it all to life has been more of a nightmare than a dream. I get it—I've been there too.

Hey, I’m Emy, and I’ve spent years navigating the merch world. When I started in 2017, I made plenty of costly mistakes. But I turned those missteps into lessons, and now I run a six-figure merch business. (I break down actual costs inside.)

'Merch 101' is here to save you from the same pitfalls. This course isn’t just about creating merch; it’s about creating it wisely. I’m going to teach you how to avoid the financial traps and design mishaps that 'could be.'. Together, we’ll transform your vision into a profitable reality without the unnecessary spend. 

Join me, and let's turn your passion into a successful merch business—without breaking the bank.

You don’t have a clear vision of what you want to achieve with your merch. Are you in it to make a profit, or do you want to boost your brand’s marketing? Without clear goals, your efforts feel scattered.

You’ve set specific, achievable goals for your merch business. Whether it’s generating income or enhancing your brand presence, you’re focused and driven, knowing exactly what you’re working towards and how to get there.

You’ve tried to figure out the merch process on your own, only to be met with confusing choices and costly mistakes. It feels like you’re spinning your wheels without making real progress.

You’ve learned from my years of experience, avoiding common pitfalls and taking the most efficient path. With expert tips and tricks, you’re creating high-quality merch without the trial and error.

You’re excited to start your merch journey but have no idea where to begin. The sheer number of options and routes is paralyzing, leaving you stuck in analysis paralysis.

You have a clear roadmap tailored to your goals, whether it's for profit or marketing. With a structured plan in place, you’re confidently taking the right steps toward your merch success.

this could be you but you haven't nailed down your real goals.

this training does
cover the following things.

NOT

we do not discuss apparel design, as in designing and manufacturing things like dresses, sweaters, pants, etc. That requires a very different process and is considered creaating a clothing brand, not merch. However... send me a dm and i can tell you about my next offering coming out soon! 

i do not cover how to use design programs like adobe illustrator or canva. I have another course called design acadmey that teaches you how to create inside of adobe illustrator. And a training on canva coming fall 2024. I do give you copious amounts of design resources though!!! 😱

i don't cover buying plans and inventory planning spreadsheets. however i do think these are great things to keep track of. To analyze your numbers more in depth you'd want to book a power hour or mentorship month with me. I am not an accountant by any means but i have a few tricks up my sleeve.

emy dyer

hey, my name is

@itsemydyer

and I'm so excited to share all of my merch secrets with you. I've been in the merch game since 2017, and let me tell you, it's been a wild and amazing ride. I myself have dabbled into merch numerous times in my career, and in the past year I dove in head first, learned so many lessons, and accidentally built a six-figure merch business. 

But it gets better. The designs I've created have generated over seven figures for my clients and some of my graphics are even literally for sale in Nordstrom rn. I've learned so much along the way, from the best places to buy blanks/materials for the DIY route to the most effective sales/marketing strategies. Now, I'm here to help you do the same with this course.

I believe in designing from the heart and having fun with it. Whether you're just starting or looking to up your merch game, I've got the tips, tricks, and insights you need. So, let's embark on this journey together and make some amazing merch!
