Hello World,

It's been a while since I've been on here. I had to step away, and a year ago I had asked to get my account deleted due to having my identity exposed with my Google Play account. But I am back now and ready to dive in a bit deeper and push a little harder.

Here's what I've been up to:

-Google Play Apps: published 3 apps
-Started a new dropshipping site: I got lucky before and organically made $500-700 per month on my old dropshipping site.
-Clickbank: got one site up, but put on the back burner
-Amazon Affiliate Blog: I am in the middle of restoring my old blog with 180 posts, which I started in 2019. The site made $300 per month in 2021, I am hoping to achieve this again.
-Music Educational Site: Built a site with React that is donation-based with Amazon Affiliate Links. It has made $21 in the last two weeks.
-Social Media: I have a faceless YouTube channel with 2k subscribers, and I am trying to get monetized.

From 2017 to 2023, I had a mix of income from what I mentioned above, the Quora partnership (discontinued), Fiverr, doing voiceovers, and SEO services. In 2023, I hit a dry spell and only made 1 sale on my old dropshipping site. I let everything else dry up because I was working as a software developer. Now I am jobless, and after applying to over 1000 companies with no luck, I am back at it trying to earn online.

I look forward to being a part of this community again.

Cheers

Welcome back @SlippinJimmy ~ sounds like you've had a time of it, well done for motoring through and remember 'you're not starting from scratch'...you're starting from experience. All the best to you and because a few things may have changed since you were here last, tap into the T's & C's and use the search function to find threads that match your interest.
 
Is the Amazon Affiliate Blog working?
I have had this idea since a long time ago, but I never started it.
