August 2024 – Amazon KDP Income Report

by

August was an absolutely horrible month for me personally but I’m excited to finally share this report. But first, a little backstory on the nightmarish month I had. During the first week of August, my 10 year old beagle, Remington, started throwing up in the early morning hours. It would only be once around 3 or 4 AM and only happened two or three days that week. The next week she started throwing up during the day, around noon. It would only be once and she would be fine after that. I decided to take her into the vet thinking …

July 2024 – Etsy Store Income Report

by

I mentioned this in the last post but the last two weeks have been extremely difficult for me. My almost 10 year old dog, Remington, got very sick and I had to put her down. I’ve had her since she was a puppy so this loss was heartbreaking. I miss her so much. I’m slowly starting to get back to regular life and a new daily routine without my girl. Someday I’d like to get another dog but first, I need to make more money. Dogs are expensive! It’s definitely motivation to reach my Etsy, Merch and KDP income goals. …

July 2024 – Amazon Merch on Demand Income Report

I was going to post this income report last week but then tragedy struck. My sweet beagle girl, Remington, got very sick and I had to put her down. She was going to turn 10 next month and I’ve had her since she was 9 weeks old. I don’t have kids and view her as my baby. It was a very traumatic week for me. I spent most of the week crying or in bed. I’m slowly starting to get into a new routine without my dog but it’s been challenging. I miss her a lot and everything reminds me …

Amazon Merch On Demand – Let’s Pick A Niche!

by

I’m having a hard time picking a niche for my marketing plan so I thought writing down my thought process could help me figure this out. So far, I’ve discovered 10 niches that have less than 1,000 results in the Women’s Novelty T-shirt category on Amazon. I choose that category because I noticed that there are far fewer t-shirt designs for women than there are for men. I also feel much more comfortable marketing for that group. Here is an overview of the 10 niches and total number of results for each niche: Niche #1 – Hobby Niche – 112 …

If you just read my June 2024 – Amazon Merch on Demand Income Report, then you’ll know why this report is so late. I’m not going to rehash that here and will get straight to the report.

June 2024 – Amazon Merch on Demand Income Report

by

Hey guys! Sorry this report is so late. I’ve had a limited time opportunity come up where I’m being paid to train AI bots. It pays $20 per hour and I can work as many hours as I want whenever I want from home. I’ve been taking advantage of this opportunity by working an insane amount hours. I really want to get my credit card debt paid off and then I need to purchase a new laptop. The one I’m currently using (and typing on right now) is 3 years old and is falling apart – the battery doesn’t charge …

May 2024 – Etsy Store Income Report

by

Welcome to my first ever Etsy store income report! As I mentioned in my income reports from last month, I have three forms of passive income that I want to focus on – Amazon KDP, Amazon Merch on Demand and my Etsy store. What Is My Etsy Store? Etsy is a platform where pretty much anyone can create an online store to sell handmade items – both physical and digital items. I sell digital items on my Etsy store. I’m not going to name my store as I’m worried about copy cats but I create business forms for a particular …
