\"2022<\/picture><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

2022 in review saw many big things happen here at Spreadshop<\/a>. We had the opportunity to attend VidSummit<\/a>, and connect with our creator advisory board<\/a> and giveaway winners. We collaborated with more creators and announced new integrations that made it easier for people to make money selling merch.<\/p>\n

At the start of year, we were looking forward to all of the possibilities ahead – which is what makes this year end review so exciting! We are thrilled to be able to look back on all that we\u2019ve accomplished and the impact we’ve had on creators.<\/p>\n

So what did 2022 hold for Spreadshop<\/a>? Let’s take a look!<\/p>\n

Athletes Making a Difference<\/h2>\n

For years, college athletes couldn’t accept partnerships or make money off their name due to NIL<\/a> (name, image, likeness) legislation. We were one of the first print on demand merch providers to partner with college athletes once they were able to monetize their brand. This opportunity has inspired a lot of athletes to give back, like Amari Carter<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Amari \u2013 safety for the Miami Hurricanes \u2013 is creating change with his nonprofit, Survive Foundation<\/strong>, which provides food and resources to underserved, homeless communities. His merch<\/a> has allowed him to raise money, and it’s also been a great way for him to promote his message.<\/p>\n

Exclusive Merch Partnerships<\/h2>\n

Spreadshop<\/a> partnered with experimental rap\/rock band Flobots for exclusive merch drops<\/a> on their tour last spring! Limited merch releases took place throughout their run of tour dates in the US. We’ve been a big fan of them for years, so it was exciting to help them with this exclusive merch.<\/p>\n

Buying band merch online is a great option for people who can\u2019t make it to a live show and still want to support their favorite artists. That’s why it’s so important that all bands (big or small) have accessible merch for their fans!<\/p>\n

\n

Clamour Creator Summit<\/h2>\n

We flew out to Arizona in May to attend the Clamour Creator Summit<\/a>. We connected with some of our favorite content creators, like Mixed Tarxan<\/a> and Rachel Pizzolato<\/a>. It’s the only conference designed exclusively for online video creators.<\/p>\n

Spreadshop was able to reach a new generation of creators that want to monetize their brand and connect with their fans.<\/p>\n

Workshop with Modern Millie<\/h2>\n

At Spreadshop<\/a>, we believe creators are more than just a \u201ccommodity\u201d or a buzzword to be exploited. In the age of the \u201ccreator economy\u201d, there\u2019s more pressure than ever to produce and feed the \u201ccontent machine\u201d. That pressure also with comes anxiety, creative depression, and burnout.<\/p>\n

That’s why we partnered with Modern Millie for a workshop about how to find your content compass<\/a>. Once completing this workshop you’ll be able to:<\/p>\n

\u2013 Establish and stay on track with hitting your ultimate goals\/dreams.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u2013 Stay true to YOU as you grow as a creator.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u2013 Maintain healthy boundaries to prevent burnout.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u2013 Stay on track with your content without added stress.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

The workshop is completely FREE to watch, and best of all, you can work at your own pace!<\/p>\n

More People Can Make Money on YouTube!<\/h2>\n

This year, YouTube announced they were adjusting the requirements for their product shelf, making it easier for more people to monetize their channels<\/a>.<\/p>\n

YouTube Shopping now allows eligible creators (with at least 1,000 subscribers) to showcase their products and official branded merchandise directly on Your audience might not follow you on every platform, so having merch accessible on your channel makes it easy to monetize your content. Stop stressing about AdSense<\/a>\u00a0and sell your products on YouTube!<\/p>\n
