In partnership with

Howdy!

I’m excited to hang out with you and 4,989 5,020 other box destroyers today! I’ll share my projects, the strategies I’m trying, and what I’m learning.

Note: I’m often asked what tools I use in my business. Here’s my current list of tools to help you with your money-making ideas. I’m also tracking the AI tools I’m using. Reply to this email and ask me anything —I'm happy to help. Also, I always use referral links when I have them. I may make a commission if you purchase through the links.

Read Time: 3.75 minutes

Last week, I told you about this newsletter I bought with 10,000+ subscribers.

A stranger reached out to me in the beehiiv slack group (it’s one of the benefits when you have your newsletter with beehiiv).

I just finalized the sale today.

We did it in 3 lump payments.

1 — I sent some cash, and he gave me access to the Twitter page.

2 — I sent draw 2 and was given access to the newsletter.

3 — I sent the final payment after I received the ad payouts from his previous ads that ran (I wanted to confirm I’d be able to get my Stripe account connected first).

Because of beehiiv’s ad program, I still think I can break even on my investment in 6-9 months!

It will be a project that I will start providing updates about in this very newsletter!

What I’m Learning: For a smaller newsletter like this, there is only so much data you can ask for (subs, open rates, ad revenue, etc.) before you have to take a leap and take action (I took action 😉).

🤖 How I’m Using AI This Week

I had my account closed down by Swagbucks (I used to refer it out and get Amazon gift cards).

I felt they were being a bit cheeky, so I asked ChatGPT to review the Terms of Service for me.

With so many AI tools coming out that I need to test, I launched this doc to keep up with it all.

Feel free to bookmark - let me know what tools I need to add.

Ok, on to some project updates!

Domain Name Flipping [11/25/24 Update]

Ok, I just put out another domain flipping video.

I talk about why I think domains are a great investment and opportunity.

I still need 5 more domains to get to 100.

You can see the majority of my portfolio here.

Also, my friend Ian H. has a cool domain name email newsletter, and I’m debating on starting something similar. I don’t want to spread my team too thin, but I think it can be a good fit to what I’m building.

Facebook Page Growth Project [11/25/24 Update]

[if you’re looking for more tools for growing Facebook pages, I took this course (referral link) — it’s a solid course].

Our page is continuing to grow nicely.

And we just passed 14,000 16,000 — sweet!

I’m still gaining followers at $.03 each, but I’ve slowed spending on this page to work on organic growth.

I am trying to be more aware of the challenges that Facebook invites us to do. I think that if we complete them, this will help us get invited faster to the bonus program (makes logical sense at least).

Plus, they are things I should be doing a better job at anyway (like replying to comments!!)

Ok, just got them done!!

I hope to be invited to the Facebook Bonus program soon. If that doesn’t work, I’m an affiliate for Gulf Beach activities via TripShock and FishingBooker. 

Maybe I’ll be able to book some condos as well!!

Amazon Influencer Program [11/25/24 Update]

I crossed $2,500 in earnings on the program!

I might get in a final 5 or so vids in before Black Friday.

And I just had my highest single-day commission at $91!!

At your request, I created a digital download that includes the best tips I’ve gathered from the Amazon Influencer Program.

(note: I’m selling limited quantities at this price—it’s also the lowest price it will be, and I’ll continue to add more as I learn more). 

—

If you want to learn more, an overview of the program is here, and my first update is here.

(If you want, you can check each weekly update. I’ve come a long way from $2.81 per hour!)

Last week’s numbers were interesting, because I invested $400 in 40 more videos.

So my hourly rate actually decreased.

But if things go to plan, it will rebound between now and end of the year!

I now have 120 124 videos.

(plus 75 videos from other creators..)

My total earnings equal $2,274.71 $2,512.25

After expenses, I’m making $43.40 $48.77 per hour.
