I’m actually dreading doing this report. My Etsy store didn’t do very good in Q4. At all. In fact, there were two weeks where I wasn’t getting any views or sales. I think it was in November but it might have been December (the months are all running together in my head). I thought there was something wrong with my store but then I checked out the Etsy Sellers Facebook page and found that there were other sellers experiencing the same thing. No views & no sales despite updating their stores or running sales. Not sure what was wrong but …

If you read the November 2024 Amazon KDP Income Report, then you’ll understand why the December report is so late. The holidays were super busy for me and I just didn’t have any time to dedicate to my business. The cool thing about passive income is that even if you don’t work on your business, you still make money. December was a record month for me despite not working on my books. For most people who work online, Q4 (October, November, December) is the most profitable time of the year and that was the case with KDP. I’ll stop talking …

Welcome to 2025 everybody! I swear the holidays just flew by and before I knew it, it was the middle of January. A lot has happened since my last post. I’ve been busier than ever and haven’t had much time to work on KDP, Merch or Etsy. Between November and December, my mom was diagnosed with kidney cancer and had surgery (she’s going to be OK), we took a 3 week cruise, we celebrated Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year’s & my birthday and I started a new diet & exercise routine. Whew! It’s been a lot!! And it’s not over yet, …

Welcome to November! It seems like October just flew by. My October stats for Merch on Demand are very disappointing. I was doing great in September and then it was like a switch flipped and my sales died. I also didn’t get all my goals completed in October. I spent most of my time working on KDP or Etsy and neglected Merch. Here’s what happened with Amazon Merch on Demand in October: October 2024 Income Report In October 2024, I made $64.84 with 14 sales and 2 returns for a total of 12 sales. Compared to the 32 sales I …

Welcome to November! It felt like October just flew by. I’ve been very motivated the last few weeks and have gotten most of my monthly goals completed for KDP, Merch and Etsy. I thought I’d keep the momentum and motivation going by getting the October income reports published right away. Here is my October 2024 KDP income report: October 2024 Income Report In October 2024, I sold 32 books for a total income of $65.97. This was a record month for both income and number of books sold in one month. I published 4 new books and I uploaded 3 …
