Crossed $1k in a single month from a pet blog finally

I'll keep this short because I know everyone's tired of vague income posts. Real numbers, real timeline, nothing held back.

A few months ago I picked up a small pet blog from NicheBlogHub for $199. It had some content, a bit of existing traffic, nothing impressive. I almost passed on it, seemed too cheap to be real. Kept the existing content mostly as-is, and they replaced the Amazon affiliate tag with mine.

Here's where April landed:

  • Amazon commissions: $647
  • Creator Rewards bonus: $375
  • April total: $1,022

First time I've crossed $1k in a calendar month. I genuinely didn't expect it to happen this fast.

The Creator Rewards seems to be calculated on shipping revenue from referred sales and I don't fully understand the formula. I fell just short of one of the milestones but still got $375. Not complaining.

Commissions were actually higher this month than last ($647 vs ~$550 in March). The bonus was lower, but the total crossed the threshold I'd been watching.

Running totals:

  • Paid for the site: $199
  • Earned to date: $1,500+
  • Net so far: $1,300+

Bought a second site this week. Same niche, similar profile. Curious whether the results are repeatable or if April was a fluke. I'll post an update either way soon.

How can it be this difficult??

Hope the title made you click on the post!

okay, so, I wanted to get advice on something but before saying anything and I just want to say that I don't want to annoy anyone with what I'll say

I've been trying to get into virtual assistant work in the past month but to no avail from applying to job boards to connecting with people on LinkedIn nothing seems to get me a lead on something that I can work on and I don't want to jump into upwork and waste money on connections so with this introduction (of course I'm not going into this on some cliché YouTube video and "some easiest five ways to make money" post I know there's no such thing as an easy way to make money, it's a job, you're handling people's business) and I do have the skills for it whether that being scheduling, organization, or CRM but I just need to find a client just one lead to go on, of course I'm not from the US but I mean I wrote this message so my English is on a professional level my speaking level is good too.

Does anybody have any advice for me

It all started with a flawed prototype I purchased — and instead of settling, I chose to redesign it from the ground up.

Over the course of a year, I developed a completely new, movie-accurate Woody voice box, focused on capturing the character’s iconic sound with precision. During that time, I pitched the concept to multiple factories across the UK, USA, and Germany, searching for a partner who truly shared my vision.

Eventually, I found the right team — and despite the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic, I moved forward and funded the entire project myself.

This isn’t just a toy upgrade. It’s a labor of love, created for collectors and fans who care about authenticity and want a screen-accurate experience.

This app is going crazy on Tik Tok and it works!

This App I saw on Tik Tok is paying people out like crazy and it’s gaining a lot of traction. They just added it to Android as well!

•How it works
-You open various packs and get a corresponding amt of money to what it’s worth.
-I only do referrals because it’s free for both parties that way.
-Once you enter in someone’s code you both get a free pack and a chance to get up to $20. My best pull has been $17 from 1 pack.

App name: Rips by Triumph

I made ~$900 managing a clipping campaign that did 1.48M views and paid out $2.8k to editors.

I've been testing a side-income model around short-form clipping campaigns, and one recent campaign I managed did about 1.48M views, paid out $2.8k to editors/clippers, and made me about $900 in management fees.

Basically, brands provide content, editors/clippers turn it into short-form posts, and payouts happen based on performance. My role was managing the campaign, sourcing clippers, reviewing content, and helping the distribution side run properly.

It’s not passive, but it’s one of the more interesting internet income models I’ve found.

Happy to answer questions if anyone wants to know how clipping campaigns work.

Looking for an online side hustle with 0 budget, how did you start?

I’m wondering what kind of side hustle I could start and what the best way would be to learn it.

I have around 2–3 hours a day available behind my PC, and I don’t have any money to invest into a side hustle, so it has to be something I can start with little to no money.

Unfortunately my skills are also pretty limited when it comes to things like editing and similar stuff.

I’m also not expecting crazy profits in the beginning. I’m fine with putting in time first without making much, but I would like it to be something scalable so that if it starts going well, I can expand and grow it over time.

I’d also love to hear from you guys - what was your very first source of income from an online side hustle, and how did you learn it?

$1,437 profit on 5 hours of work this week from 10 flips, looking to pay recurring commission to anyone who can help me grow the Pro version

$1,437 net profit on 5 hours of actual work this week, 10 items sold, all of them found by the free bot I built and open-sourced a few months back.

Quick context on me, I'm 20, computer engineering student currently study abroad. The bot watches Facebook Marketplace, Wallapop, Vinted, and Mercari at the same time and pings my Discord the second a listing matches my filters. The repo is here, free and open source, https://github.com/ethanashi/fbm-sniper-community

The 5 hours roughly broke down to 90 minutes of messaging sellers, 2 hours of pickups, and the rest of the time was packing and shipping. The bot is doing the searching, all I'm really doing is closing.

This week's sold listings, all in GBP since I'm running on eBay UK right now,

  • MBP 16" M3 Pro, bought £1,250, sold £1,549, +£299
  • MBP 14" M2 Pro, bought £780, sold £999, +£219
  • MBP 14" M4, bought £720, sold £899, +£179
  • iPad Pro 12.9" M2, bought £480, sold £625, +£145
  • AirPods Max Silver, bought £240, sold £329, +£89
  • Apple Watch S10, bought £255, sold £329, +£74
  • Dell Inspiron 15, bought £120, sold £179, +£59
  • Akai MPC Studio, bought £40, sold £74.99, +£35
  • PS5 DualSense Camo, bought £25, sold £49.50, +£24.50
  • PS5 DualSense White, bought £20, sold £39.99, +£20

After eBay fees and shipping that nets out to roughly $1,437 USD.

The playbook that's been working,

  1. Speed is the entire edge here, and I cannot overstate it. The bot pings my phone the second a listing goes up, I reply within 60 seconds with the exact same message every time, "Hi, still available, I can pay today." Most of these flips were locked in before the listing was 10 minutes old. You aren't competing on price in this game, you're competing on response time, and a script that runs while you sleep beats a human refreshing the app every couple minutes.
  2. Apple gear has been the bread and butter for me, and Macbooks in particular. Three Macbook Pros this week alone did £697 in combined profit. The mispricing on Macbooks is the cleanest I've seen anywhere, because the average seller prices based on what they paid two years ago, not what eBay sold comps actually say the market will pay today. The M2 Pro at £780 was a guy upgrading to an M4 who just wanted his old machine gone the same day, and the bot caught the listing about 3 minutes after it went live.
  3. The filter recipe I keep recommending to anyone who asks. You pick the specific model you want, set a max price around 60-65% of eBay sold comps for that exact spec, and exclude these words in the listing text, "icloud, locked, cracked, parts, for repair, read description." That exclude list alone cuts about 80% of the time-wasting pings before they ever hit your phone.
  4. The smaller flips are still worth chasing because the marginal time cost is basically zero. Those two PS5 controllers and the MPC pad together did £79.50 in profit on items I would've completely ignored if I was searching manually. When the bot is doing the discovery, you don't have to be selective about size, you just have to be selective about margin.

Now the actual reason I'm posting,

I'm looking to bring on a few people to help me grow the Pro version of the bot. The free version stays free and open source, that's not changing. The Pro version is the hosted plug-and-play one for people who don't want to self-host or write their own filter configs. What I'm offering is recurring commission for every subscriber you bring in, paid out monthly for as long as that subscriber stays active. If you have a flipping audience on YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, or even a decent following in a relevant Discord, I genuinely want to work with you and the deal is generous. Drop me a DM here or hit the Discord and message me directly, https://discord.gg/dWWaSxuxdU

Repo again so it's easy to find, https://github.com/ethanashi/fbm-sniper-community

Happy to answer anything about the filter setup, why Macbooks print so consistently, the affiliate split, the bot itself, or anything else. AMA in the comments.

Yesterday was $1,000+ day online - Here's how I do it

I'm going to give you the quick and dirty of it, and share the raw, real truth behind making money online. My experience at least.

Yesterday's $1,000+ day came from:

  • Building my online business and brand
  • Diversified income streams
  • Hard work

one of the payments from yesterday

How did I make money?

I sold digital products, like ebooks and courses.

I sold services, like brand partnerships where a brand pays me to feature them on my social media or I'm paid to make them content for their socials.

How it works?

This does not happen overnight, but it can happen quickly.

For me...

  • I made about $500 within 2 days of starting
  • I didn't figure it out myself, I took a course
  • There were ups and downs, inconsistency until I was more experienced

While I was building my business, I felt like giving up many times.

I would have wild swings in income, making $600 one day and nothing for a week and a half, then a few hundred dollars then 4 figures, then nothing.

This became consistent over time.

The breakdown

My business is multifaceted and I have diversified income.

If you were to start, I would recommend starting with one income stream, master it, then add more.

You could start with:

  1. Creating and selling your own digital product, like an ebook
  2. Becoming an affiliate for a product and marketing for affiliate commissions
  3. Making content for brands and getting paid as a UGC creator
  4. Starting an AI influencer social media account and monetize it

Yes, I took a course. I wanted a shortcut.

I'm not here to sell you on a course. You can start without one but, if you're struggling, don't know where to start, or need a step-by-step walkthrough.

Also, if you don't want to waste your time, I'd recommend it.

What's next?

I have a free digital marketing guide to learn more. Comment FREE or DM me FREE and its yours.

This month I made 419,77 euros with this app

Just sharing what’s worked. With a few survey apps, I earn $400–$600 every month without doing anything stressful. It’s become a nice side income.

This is the exact app I’m using: Attapoll

They’re legit, they pay, and you get bonuses for joining, with this link you get the best bonus 0.50$. If you want to get the most out of them, just do surveys and play games with no stress and enjoy the results. There are even +10$ surveys waiting for you.

It all depends on demographics, but I can still be sure that you will take a profit from it.

2nd month results, ( made $600 ) all from posting with 0 followers

So guys here it is again, my 2nd month results. It shows 900 dollars total but $600 this month ( it’s a bug ) I’m super proud of how far I’ve come!
Im currently doing campaign called triprank in the platform, I started a fresh TikTok account for it and warmed it up for 3 days by just scrolling naturally and engaging with others then did around 1 high quality post daily!

I’m not a pro editor or anything I just do some basic edits on cap cut from my phone, and I get paid $1-$3 per 1k views from brands apps and streamers. They have all the campaigns on the platform I use so I can help anyone who wants to get started! Just ask in the comments

Edit: I’m getting a lot of dms lol so here’s the platform https://contentrewards.com/r/oncontrolla it’s where u can access all the campaigns

6 months of UGC, month by month breakdown (followers + income)

I started doing UGC for around 6 months now after I graduated. I didn't apply for any 9-5 right away and decided to try making money online first (I was right lol) and here's how my first 6 months of UGC went

Month 1: 0 followers, $0

I opened a brand new UGC instagram profile from scratch and the first thing I tried was Fiverr where I spent a good chunk of the month browsing and pitching, but got absolutely nothing out of it. Complete waste of time honestly, I just set up my Instagram with a UGC-focused bio and email, filmed a few sample videos with products I already owned, mostly skincare, put together a basic Canva portfolio and that’s it

Month 2: 1,984 followers, $0

I started to watch some videos on Youtube and I watched I think all the videos about UGC In that moment i switched strategy completely and started posting 2 reels a day, like skincare, morning routines, OOTDs. I grew to almost 2K followers just from being consistent. I have no client yet but the account was finally starting to look real, which is what I needed before pitching anyone seriously

Month 3: 2,300 followers, $650

Kept growing and forgot about Fiver and I closed my first deal with a cosmetics and skincare brand on sideshift. I closed 10 videos at $65 flat fee each, so $650 total plus a ton of free product lol. Maybe low rate but I didn't care, I finally had real client work and a real portfolio.

Month 4: 3,495 followers, $1,450

Flat fees crept up to the $65-80 range, but the bigger change was a brand offering me a CPM structure on top of the base fee, meaning they'd pay me $1 for every 1,000 views the video got. A couple videos hit around 80K views each so I started seeing actual performance bonuses on top of the flat, and started making good money from this.

Month 5: 8,460 followers, $3,200

Best month so far. I finally understood how to make hooks that actually work, and one video (not even a promo, just organic content UNFORTUNATELY!!) hit 1M views. That single video brought in 2,500 new followers on its own. With that traction I was able to raise my rates across the board, in fact one brand paid $200 flat plus a $1.70 CPM and that video hit 500K views, so that one deal alone paid out over $1,050. Never happened before and it changed my whole approach to pricing

Month 6: 10K+ followers, $5,500

Crossed 10K and everything shifted, a lot of brands started sliding into my DMs with sponsorship offers instead of me chasing them. I started monetizing stories with affiliate links too, but the real income was still coming from CPM campaigns. What made me realize that this job was not just a hype but a business over time, was closing few 6 month contracts with brands. This means a minimum video commitments per month plus the variable CPM on top, so now I have a guaranteed base income for the next 6 months with upside depending on performance.

Everyone (also me 6 months ago) think you need a huge following to make real money from content. You really don't, UGC model works completely differently from influencer marketing, brands pay for the content itself and the performance it drives, nobody cares about ur followers. It still takes time to figure out what works but if you actually enjoy filming and creating, it's worth trying.

u/Heavy_Plan7527 — 3 days ago

Almost $12,000 in the past three months

I got tired of overthinking side hustles so I built a tool that tells you what you could realistically sell

Lately I’ve noticed a lot of people (including me tbh) get stuck in this weird loop where they want to start something online, but every “side hustle” idea either feels insanely saturated or borderline fake.

So instead of actually starting, you just end up researching for hours and getting nowhere.

I got tired of that cycle and started building a small tool mostly for myself at first.

The idea is pretty simple:
you put in the skills you already have, how much free time you realistically have each week, your experience level, etc. and it tries to generate actual offers/business ideas you could realistically test.

Not just random “start dropshipping” stuff either.

More like:

  • what you could sell
  • what people might realistically pay
  • where you’d even find clients
  • simple outreach ideas
  • rough action plans

I recorded a quick screen demo because it’s honestly easier to show than explain in text.

Still very much a work in progress, but I’m trying to make it genuinely useful instead of another motivational “make money online” thing.

I Spent 30 days learning how to use AI to create a digital product from scratch — here's everything I learned (AMA)

I know there's a lot of noise about AI and making money online so I want to share what actually worked for me as a complete beginner with zero tech skills and zero upfront investment.

Here's the honest summary:

The biggest mistake beginners make is trying to create a product before validating the market. I learned to go to Etsy first, find bestsellers in my niche, read the reviews, and build something better than what's already selling. AI does 80% of the heavy lifting — the research, the writing, the structure. Your job is to direct it and edit the output.

The three things that actually matter:

Research first — let the market tell you what to build

Specificity — a guide for everyone sells to no one

Consistency — the algorithm rewards showing up daily

Happy to answer any questions about the process. What's your biggest challenge with starting something online?
