My Amazon KDP business is doing amazing! I feel like I can get to my ultimate goal of $3,000 a month within the next year. All I need to do is keep publishing books.

Despite not working on my Amazon MOD business in over a year, it’s doing quite well. I’ve been averaging just over 11 sales a month and a royalty of $47 a month. Not bad for a completely passive income. But I want more. I still think I can reach my ultimate goal of $1500 a month. Last 6 Months Sales & Royalty January – 8 sales – $36.13 February – 12 sales – $66.06 March – 16 sales – $87.31 April – 13 sales – $66.55 May – 7 sales – $28.84 June – 6 Sales – $31.32 (as of …

I have mixed feelings about Amazon Merch On Demand for 2025. It was a year of a lot of changes. Amazon changed the way creators can get tiered up. Now creators have to sell at least 80% of their designs before they will get tiered up. At least that’s the rumor and it appears to be true. I am nowhere near 80% of my designs sold. Amazon also started deleting designs that aren’t selling. This is both a good thing and a bad thing. In fact, I’ve had 18 of my designs deleted. I’ll discuss all of this later in …

I’m a little behind on my reports. I was hoping to get the yearly reports published this week but I’ve been really busy. This is the last of the monthly income reports for 2025. It’s a very disappointing report and, hopefully, I can figure out why in the yearly report. For now, here is my December 2025 Etsy Store Income Report. December 2025 Etsy Income Report December was one of the worst month I’ve ever had on Etsy. In December, I had 273 views, 1 orders, a horribly meager conversion rate of just 0.4% and $5.20 in revenue. I do …

Happy New Year dear readers! I hope you all had a good holiday season. It’s now January and time to get back to work. I didn’t do any work on any of my businesses in December. It was a very hectic month. I was on vacation until mid-December and then I rushed to decorate the house, bake cookies, buy and wrap presents and watch all the must-see Christmas movies (I still ended up missing a bunch I would normally watch). I spent the weekend before Christmas with my brother, SIL and nephew, Christmas eve with my parents and Christmas day …
