Update #16 This has been a good week! My affiliate income is slowly growing. I am uploading new designs. And looking forward to the future progress of the series. I have learned a lot, acquired new skills, and transformed myself from a consumer to a creator. But this is still just the beginning of the journey. I have a lot of ideas for the future. I want to try my hand at creating digital products, I want to create a newsletter, maybe a course and I want to focus on growing a YouTube channel in 2023. Earnings Total: $95.90 Breakdown: Print-on-demand: $0.61 Affiliate marketing: $95.29 This Week: Affiliate marketing: $43.03 Accomplishments Series started — April 21, 2022 First photos accepted to Shutterstock — April 26, 2022 First video published on Youtube — May 5, 2022 First sale on RedBubble — May 10, 2022 First referral on Medium — May 12, 2022 First actual affiliate sale 34$ — August 7, 2022 Affiliate Marketing The number of referred members on Medium has increased from 5 last week to 8. Now I will be receiving $17.90 every month as long as they keep their subscriptions active. This is not a lot in itself. But it will add up over time. And lately, I have been witnessing handsome growth with the amount of referred members doubling each month.

*screenshot by HungryMinded* My strategy on this is currently unchanged. I do 3 things to acquire new referrals. Call to action — in the footer section of my articles Writing about Medium and sharing these articles on other writing platforms Promoting my Medium article to external audiences, such as SubReddits on Reddit and groups on Facebook. Here’s an example of an article I wrote about Medium. It also explains what I do to reach external audiences: Promote Your Medium Articles Like A Pro https://medium.com/seeds-for-the-future/promote-your-medium-articles-like-a-pro-c2f93bb21a49 But this week I made another $36.48 commission from Pictory.AI (affiliate link). https://pictory.ai/?ref=tdwiz

*screenshot by HungryMinded* In total, I have made $75.48 from this Affiliate program. And all the traffic is coming from one Medium article that I wrote back in July. It is still getting pretty solid traffic. Here’s the article: I Turned My Medium Stories Into YouTube Videos and You Can Too! https://medium.com/seeds-for-the-future/i-turned-my-medium-stories-into-youtube-videos-and-you-can-too-f8520774b78a This article has also earned over $120 here on Medium. And it’s still earning today. It has earned $35 so far in October.

Midjourney AI in particular. I’ve done a lot of creative experiments with Midjourney. And I also created a lot of cool designs that I am slowly uploading to RedBubble now. https://medium.com/@HungryMinded/list/the-power-of-midjourney-ai-955edbfe9073?source=my_lists---------1-------955edbfe9073--------------------- I have only made one sale on RedBubble so far. But the number of followers and favorites my designs are getting is steadily increasing.

*screenshot by HungryMinded* Hopefully, all of this pays off in the long run. Here are some new designs: Astronaut Cat Tote Bag by HungryMinded https://www.redbubble.com/i/tote-bag/Astronaut-Cat-by-HungryMinded/127870081.A9G4R?asc=u
