July 2024 – Amazon Merch on Demand Income Report

by

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 Income Report In June, I made $38.60 from 6 orders. I had 237 visits which gives me a conversion rate of 2.5%. These stats are worse than last month and I’m honestly very disappointed.

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 …

May 2024 – Amazon Merch on Demand Income Report

by

Welcome to my Amazon Merch on Demand May 2024 income report! May was an extremely busy month and disappointing in terms of hitting my passive income goals. The first half of the month was spent on vacation where I had no access to reliable internet (and, frankly, I didn’t want to work while on vacation) and the second half of the month was spent doing freelance work to try to get caught back up on bills (vacations are expensive). I am very motivated to get June started with a bang, but first, let’s reflect on what happened in May. May …

May 2024 – Amazon KDP Income Report

by

May was a disappointing month when it came to hitting my goals. It was a very busy month for me. For the first half of the month, I was on vacation and had no reliable internet connection. For the second half of the month, I was focused on making money to pay my bills and getting chores done around the house (currently in the middle of a DIY kitchen/living room renovation). I didn’t complete any of the goals I had set for Amazon KDP. Luckily, June is a new month so I can start fresh. Below is a look at …
