Amazon affiliate has been paying my rent for 6 months now

ok so this is a weird one but bear with me

i have a pet blog. i don't own a pet. never have. probably never will as i travel too much. and yet every month amazon sends me enough to cover rent because people on the internet are buying stuff for their dogs and cats through my site.

bought my pet blog a few months ago from a marketplace called NicheBlogZone for $199. came already built, articles already up, amazon links already in there. i spent one afternoon doing interlinking basically just connecting related posts to each other so search engines understand the site structure and then closed my laptop and genuinely forgot about it for weeks.

here's what that's looked like:

  • march: $710
  • april: $995
  • may: $1,461
  • june: $1,647
  • july: $1,461
  • august so far: $1,545 (amazon pays 2 months delayed so this is june's money landing now)

march scared me. went from nearly $1k in february down to $710 and i was convinced something had broken. checked everything, found nothing wrong, did nothing. it just came back the next month on its own.

pet people spend insane amounts on their animals btw. like i knew this intellectually but seeing the commission data is something else. dog food subscriptions, orthopedic beds, grooming kits, vet supplements. and because of the 24 hour cookie i get a cut of everything in their cart not just whatever article they landed on.

i do literally nothing to maintain this. no new posts, no ads, no instagram for pets i don't have. i just own the thing and amazon does its thing.

my landlord has been getting paid every month and has no idea a pet blog is behind it. honestly sometimes i forget too until the deposit shows up.

anyone else running a niche they have zero personal connection to? curious if the detachment makes it easier or harder to care about growing it

I got tired of being rejected, so I made a website that only lists legit AI training jobs.

The last few months I found it annoying finding the right AI training/annotating jobs with a decent acceptance rate. Long story short, I made my own website that only lists legit listings with good acceptance rates. Any feedback would be appreciated!: https://aiannotationjobs.com

How I made $300 to $500 days from Pinterest - no gatekeeping

I've been seeing more and more people have interest in earning from Pinterest. So, I thought I'd share my story.

I've dabbled in lots of side hustles and income streams over time. Here's how I do Pinterest.

I don't have this full income stream any more. I still earn from Pinterest but, not at this rate. I'lls hare why. Here's how I did it and what changed.

$300 to $500 days from Pinterest

Affiliate marketing.

I created Pinterest pins that took people to affiliate offers. People would buy from the affiliate links and I earned an affiliate commission.

I targeted high ticket affiliate offers, paying up to $50 to $1,450 each.

For example, 5 sales at $1,000 each is $5K.

Numbers like this are possible.

How to make pins?

I went to Canva, picked a template I liked and customized the messaging to my offer.

Colors should stand out, so if your niche has mostly pinks, do a different color.

Scroll through Pinterest searching your keyword to see if you notice common things, like feminine colored pins, bold text, etc.

Do the opposite, so you stand out.

Use keywords everywhere

This is what will help your content get found on Pinterest. Pinners are searching by keyword. Fill your pin headings, captions and descriptions with those keywords.

Pinterest traffic lives on forever

With Instagram, TikTok, other socials, the traffic fizzles out. But with Pinterest, it's evergreen. It remains relevant and circling across the platform over and over again, in abundance continuing to push traffic to your pins and helping you make money from affiliate marketing.

Why did my income shrink?

I website flip. Free guide here.

So, I sold the site that was getting that traffic.

I still have offers driving income for me through affiliate and digital marketing sales.

I learned Pinterest monetization over time from lots of experience. Pinterest is super powerful and a great way to make money. You can start for free. Don't overthink it. If this is interesting to you, just start.

I’m 19 and I’m trying to start earning online.

I have about a year before university, and by then I’ll probably need to cover my own hostel/apartment rent and other monthly expenses, so I want to use this year properly and build an actual income source.

I’ve looked into video editing, web development, AI stuff, SEO, Canva, data analysis, etc., but there are way too many options and I keep getting confused about what to choose 💀

If you were starting from zero and had one year to become good enough at a skill to get paying clients, what would you choose?

Not looking for the “make $10k in 30 days” bullshit. I just want something with real demand that I can realistically turn into a decent monthly income.

What skill would you lock in on?

Building Alina — my experiment with a consistent AI creator

I’ve recently started building a completely fictional AI creator called Alina.

The goal isn’t just generating random AI images — I’m experimenting with keeping the same character consistent across different locations, outfits and lighting, while gradually building an audience around her.

I’ve just started testing Reddit as one of the traffic sources, alongside building her creator profile.

I’m curious about the monetization side now. I’ve seen quite a few people using Fanvue for AI creators, so that’s the direction I’m currently testing.

Still very early — basically starting from zero — so I’d be interested to hear from anyone who has actually built an AI creator business:

What was the first thing that actually brought you meaningful traffic or paying fans?

Here’s Alina so far 👇

I’ve been dropshipping on eBay for nearly three years. I even left my job to do this full-time!

I've had a lot of people message me after my last post asking if I can teach them how I do this.

I'm going to teach a small group of people how to start dropshipping on eBay for free.

I'm only taking 5-8 people because that's all I can handle.

The next cohort will be after the initial group has been taught.

Want to join?
Message me to join the waitlist.

Edit: I’ve had one person suspecting that it’s a scam course. FYI: ITS COMPLETELY FREE… If I keep getting these kind of comments, I will remove this post!

How to Build & Monetize Apps with Vibe Coding

There are so videos stating that some random guy can make USD 100,000 in a month by vide coding an app. I don't get the idea of how and where the monetization work. Does the vibe coded developer get paid once people download the app? or is it that they already have an in-app charge that got them to earn?

Turn fans into subs and revenue using AI 💅

My AI girl is almost at 40,000 followers on Instagram and still gets 10+ DMs a day.

Monetized using FanVue (subs + exclusive content), affiliate, brand deals, and promoting products using TikTok.

IG Reels have affiliate links as well that I will test out soon.

AI personas are the best way to make more income without being on cam.

You just need to follow the platform rules. Don’t act like a doctor, lawyer, or financial advisor.

Plenty of other niches. I’m good at relatable and funny content related to dating and relationships that gets people to comment and share.

23 years old with $20k cash on my hands. What would you do with it?

Hi (this my first Reddit post, we’ll see how this goes).

I’m 23 and recently came into $25k cash that I’m trying to figure out what to do with

I’m in a pretty fortunate financial situation right now. I have no debt, very few expenses, my Roth IRA is maxed, and I have about $50k invested in a brokerage account, mostly in the S&P 500 / similar investments

My income is somewhat inconsistent right now, but because my expenses are so low, I feel like I can afford to be fairly aggressive with this money. I also own a small business, but I keep the business finances separate and it doesn’t need any additional funding right now

I am interested in potentially using a few thousand dollars to experiment with another online business or income stream.

I’m comfortable with being aggressive whether that means stocks or an online business.

So if you were 23, debt-free, already had a decent amount invested, and suddenly had an extra $25k to work with, how would you allocate it?

Would you invest most of it? Keep a chunk in cash? Use some to try building another source of income? Something else entirely?

Curious what you would do in my position. Thanks for whoever takes the time to read and respond.

Not going to stop building

After selling both my extensions for a humble amount of money, I thought i would relax because it was my first time making money but i was still hungry to build. So now, I'm building an extension that hides your geolocation from websites. I just want to say to those who are working, don't stop. Keep it up

Edit: I have to say, I did take motivation from GeoSpoof so props to the builder

Here is how I make side money out of surveys no bullshit no AI

Step 1: lie, pretend you are an executive, you own multiple cars, you are in the market to buy a new car, a new bike, a new phone, give opinions about streaming platforms you didn't even heard of before, you have 4+ kids in your family, you are married, you plan to travel across the globe, you actively travel for work, if you don't know enough about a topic ask Google.

Is it morally correct? I don't give a fuck, we talking about cents sometimes and data selling platforms have enough to spare.

Most importantly, find a proper platform, I tried so many of them, it highly depends on where you located, but the best worldwide is attapoll, here is my referral link, you get a small bonus by joining through my link (and I get that small bonus too, that's why I'm sharing it, as I told you, no bullshit)

Avoid on attapoll doing paid tasks cause they so good for surveys but a complete shit for tasks, poor tracking and cheap payoffs, if you wanna do paid micro tasks I highly suggest you looking elsewhere.

So let me know what you think

Last year I surveyed 50 AI OnlyFans creators, this year I did 100+. The biggest change: generic is dead, niche is eating up everything.

I run a tool for AI OnlyFans/Fanvue creators called Fannabe, and part of building it has meant actually surveying the people running these accounts. One finding stood out above everything else, and it's the thing that decides whether an account works in 2026, so I wanted to write it up.

Rewind a year and almost everyone was running the same playbook. Attractive girl, clean lighting, a few lifestyle posts, some PPV. Good enough to get by. Those same accounts are stalling out or flat-out dying now, and the ones actually growing share one trait. They're oddly specific.

Not "hot AI girl." A flight attendant who golfs. A cop. The most niche one I ran into was a submarine officer, full uniform, the whole persona built out, and it was doing numbers most generic pages would envy. The conservative/tradwife lane is quietly crushing it too, that crowd sticks around and it pays. The tighter the concept, the harder it hits, which is backwards from what most people assume.

My theory, from talking to creators and just watching the feeds:

The barrier to entry has basically vanished, so the feed is now flooded with the exact same content. Everyone's cranking out the same motion-control dance clip off the same trend with a swapped face. The algorithm's already seen that clip ten thousand times this week, there's nothing new in it, so it sits there. A flight attendant doing something in-character breaks the pattern. A thumb stops scrolling. That stop is the entire game.

Niche gives you three things generic never will.

A reason to stop scrolling in the first place. "Submarine officer" is already a hook before she's lifted a finger. Generic has no hook.

An audience that's already gathered. Every niche you can name has a subreddit, a hashtag, its own pocket of TikTok. You're stepping into a room that's already packed instead of yelling into the main feed against the entire world.

A reason to keep paying. Nobody subscribes to a body, they subscribe to a character. A defined identity is what keeps someone around in month three instead of bouncing once the novelty fades. The niche creators I spoke with saw clearly better retention, and a handful were charging more per sub off the back of it.

The dance copies are a trap. They feel like progress because you're posting daily, but it's the same thing everyone else is posting, so you vanish into the pile and never pop. Pumping out generic volume gets you almost nowhere. A smaller run of specific, in-character stuff is what moves the needle.

The mistake nearly everyone makes is trying to staple a niche on afterward. It doesn't take. The accounts that got it right chose the niche first and built the character around it, face, wardrobe, locations, the entire vibe designed for that lane from the very first frame. That's genuinely the hard part with most tools, spinning up a "flight attendant who golfs" once is trivial, keeping her consistent across months of posts is where it all breaks down. That's the exact gap Fannabe closes, but that's beside the point here. The real takeaway: decide on something specific before you generate a single image.

Glad to get into the weeds in the comments, and if you want to poke at the tool it's in my profile or just shoot me a DM.
