The journey
The journey will be updated at the end of this month. I'm trying out a few new things. I will include these as well. I apologize for not updating in time.

No. Actually, I might update it this evening. I'm trying out a few new methods. So I haven't had time. But the journey will definitely continue.

Update and new roadmap. Full details: (27 July 2025)
I’ve decided to expand this journey far beyond its current scope and elevate it to something even greater. I’ve been working on some exciting developments behind the scenes, which made the last two months incredibly busy. But I remain fully committed to this path—now with a much broader vision.
This journey will no longer be limited to just Amazon; I’m expanding its horizons significantly. I apologize for not being able to share updates sooner, but the wait is over. Here we go!
1) Amazon KDP
This journey will always continue. I'll occasionally publish new books. But now I'm even more focused on scaling ads.
You can see the overall chart here. These are the earnings figures for this year. I generally earn between $2000 and $2500 per month.
2) Digistore24
I've become completely dissatisfied with Digistore24's refund policies, which effectively devalue creators' hard work. (While digital products aren't legally required to offer refunds, Digistore24 unfortunately mandates them anyway.)
This frustration motivated me to create a better solution. Together with a developer colleague, we're building a Digistore24 alternative that features:
• No forced refunds on digital products
• A cleaner, more intuitive interface
• Fairer terms for content creators
Development is currently 70% complete - I'm sharing some preview screenshots below (full launch expected in 1-2 months).
Upon launch, I'll promote this platform on BlackHatWorld. As an affiliate, you'll earn industry-leading 50% commissions on every sale you generate! (I'm thinking of adding 2 withdrawal options (stripe and cryptocurrency).)
3) teacherspayteachers (tpt)
I discovered a website that's widely used by teachers in the U.S. and decided to upload some PDF files there. I don't have huge expectations, but I thought I might earn a little money. I've already made my first sale - it happened about 6-7 days after setting up my account.
4)Etsy
After learning that Etsy doesn't enforce refunds on digital products (unlike some other platforms), I decided to capitalize on this by launching two niche digital product stores. I carefully selected two specific market opportunities and established separate storefronts for each. I will continue to focus on Etsy because their money flow is very fast. (Weekly payment plan (payout) available)
4.1) Etsy - 1
I've started running ads for this store (both Etsy stores were established about a week ago). Currently achieving an impressive ~1200% ROAS after Etsy fees. I plan to continue and test scaling opportunities.
4.2) Etsy - 2
As for my second Etsy store, there's no sales data yet - it's still in its early stages.
My Current Perspective:
While I'm also earning about $1 monthly from my Creative Fabrica store, I chose not to highlight this as my current focus is fully on these new initiatives I've described. I'm committed to building something significantly better and scaling these operations.
I'd be absolutely delighted to hear your questions, thoughts, or suggestions - please feel free to share them anytime. Your input would mean a lot to me.

The main question is: How do you promote your stuff? are your using paid ads?

I sometimes use ads. But it's not necessary. It's just something I do to speed up the process.

That's great. But how that strategy works in order to speed up the process? It's about what kind of promotion specifically?
