Update #18 Last week I experienced a minor setback, but this week has brought a small victory. Last week one of my affiliate commissions got retracted. But this week I had some new ones. Although my progress is slow. It’s steady growth and I intend to keep it that way. Success is compounding. And I begin feeling a snowball effect from all the work I’ve done previously. I have created an audience on Medium. My earnings are growing steadily and the income from other side hustles is doing the same. Next week I will also be publishing my income report from my writing side hustle. I must say that this journey hasn’t been easy. But I am not going to quit. I will keep writing, creating content, and experimenting with other side hustles. Last week I also shared my plans to focus on YouTube in 2023. But I will probably start experimenting earlier than that. In fact, I have something in the works already. But for now, you can show some support by subscribing to the channel. I haven’t published a new video this week. But here’s an earlier experiment I made using Midjourney.AI: Video here https://youtu.be/cGMQOikEcpk https://youtu.be/cGMQOikEcpk In the future, I am planning to make video-essay-type videos. Earnings Total: $98.07 Breakdown: Print-on-demand: $0.61 Affiliate marketing: $58.81 This Week: Affiliate marketing: $38.65 Accomplishments Series started — April 21, 2022 First photos accepted to Shutterstock — April 26, 2022 First video published on Youtube — May 5, 2022 First sale on RedBubble — May 10, 2022 First referral on Medium — May 12, 2022 First actual affiliate sale 34$ — August 7, 2022 Affiliate Marketing Last week was a bit sad with the retracted commission. But It all came back to me this week with a new commission from Pictory.AI (affiliate link). https://pictory.ai/?ref=tdwiz

*screenshot by HungryMinded* I also contacted Pictory about the 0.16$ recurring payment. As I didn’t understand why I am getting such a small amount. And it turns out that somebody has parked their subscription for 1$ a month and I am getting a commission from that. As I have explained before all of this comes from one article featuring pictory.AI affiliate link. Here’s the article if you are interested: 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 In total, I have made $75.76 from this affiliate offer alone. And the article has also earned me more than $140 through the Medium partner program. I also got a new Medium referral this month increasing the amount to 9 in total. I will be earning $19.91 for as long as these users keep their subscriptions.

*screenshot by HungryMinded* Although the amounts I am getting paid are small, I do love the recurring nature of these payments. And it does keep adding up over time. As well as putting new content out there brings in more referrals. Creating a snowballing effect. Print-On-Demand At this point, I really don’t feel like this is working out for me. But I have some more designs ready to be uploaded. And I will do so when I have some more free time. For now, I feel that my time is better spent focusing elsewhere. My designs keep getting more likes. And I keep getting new followers. But no new sales are coming in.

*screenshot by HungryMinded* And the margins are quite low anyway. I feel like the marketplace is getting extremely saturated with all the new AI tools out there.
