Update #19 To begin the update of the week I have some positive news. The earnings of the series have finally crossed $100. It’s not a lot. And it took quite a while. But this is a proof of concept. A proof that it is possible to make money online. For now, I have been mostly learning, gaining new knowledge, and exploring the ins and outs of being an online creator. But now it’s time to apply this knowledge. I am beginning to work on several new projects. I want to start a newsletter, launch my first digital product and start working actively on growing my YouTube channel. Starting next week I will report more on these projects. So far, I have had the most success with writing. And as it was the first side hustle I started, I haven’t included it in this series of articles. But I do publish monthly earnings reports. And here is the last one: Writing Earnings for October — Goal Achieved https://medium.com/seeds-for-the-future/writing-earnings-for-october-goal-achieved-e3c0bef4de4d New challenges As I have stated in previous weeks. I am planning to grow and monetize a YouTube channel during 2023. But I am planning to start earlier than that. I have already dabbled with YouTube and made Faceless videos like this one: https://youtu.be/EIS8_OQSgRM But now I have started a new channel named HungryMinded and I want to change some things and improve the quality and value my videos provide. https://www.youtube.com/@hungryminded And this is going to be challenging. The first thing I would like to change is using my own voice for the voiceovers. And to do it I will need to record it, and process it well. I already did a test run and wasn’t pleased with the results. Quality of audio is super important for videos to do well. A video with decent audio and not-so-good visuals is easier to watch than a video with great visuals and poor audio! Here’s a video explaining this in more detail: https://youtu.be/SxVuYo4I1Ec I know it will take some time to get the voiceovers to the level I want them to sound. But my goal for the week will be finding the best possible way I can record my voice with what’s available to me. And to learn how to process the audio to get a better-sounding result. Maybe there are some tools already out there that could help. Now let’s move on to the regular parts of the update: Earnings Total: $117.98 Breakdown: Print-on-demand: $0.61 Affiliate marketing: $117.37 This Week: Affiliate marketing: $19.91 Accomplishments Series started — April 21, 2022 First photos accepted to Shutterstock — April 26, 2022 First video published on Youtube — May 5, 2022 First sale on RedBubble — May 10, 2022 First referral on Medium — May 12, 2022 First actual affiliate sale 34$ — August 7, 2022 Crossing $100 mark — November 1, 2022 Affiliate Marketing This week my affiliate income has come solely from referred Medium memberships. Last month I gained 5 new followers. Hopefully, I will be able to grow this number more this month!

*screenshot by HungryMinded* I also found a new digital product that I really like. But I wasn’t able to find if there are affiliate programs for these on Google. So I wrote an e-mail to the sales team. We will have to wait and find out if I get a reply. Print-On-Demand I will still keep uploading my designs on Print on Demand site and keep you updated if there’s any progress. But I will be shifting my focus away from this side-hustle to some of m new projects. Here is my RedBubble store https://www.redbubble.com/people/hungryminded/shop?asc=u Next week I will be adding some new sections to the update. Stay tuned.
