In spring of 2023, Star Atlas announced their intellectual (IP) Build Program. This was a program that would allow anyone to have access to to the Star Atlas’ IP to use for a profit making enterprise. I applied to create a merch store and was approved in the middle of June 2023.
I had been doing a few things related to Star Atlas as a content creator with the avatar of Intergalactic Herald. But, I was interested in the idea of a more direct revenue generation effort. A merch store sounded like a good idea and it would give me a chance to learn more about ecommerce. I am the owner of a marketing agency and meet people that need help with their ecommerce businesses for paid ad and SEO. I could get more experience for my business, provide a service to the Star Atlas community and maybe make a little money.
