I really liked the course. The content was exactly what I need and it saved me from searching the web for hours watching random videos hoping to learn what I need. It is geared towards Merch by Amazon. Although all the information is available for free on the web, this course saved me tons of time because I didn't know what I would need for Merch and it tells me and why. Great course!

I thought the quality of the course, and especially the explanations of the various procedures was GREAT. This was the course I was looking for, cutting thru the technical and right to the meat. I will definitely be looking for future courses from the author.
