What I Learned From My Projects This Week...
Howdy!
Iām excited to hang out with you and 4,709 4,750 other box destroyers today! Iāll share my projects, the strategies Iām trying, and what Iām learning ā all based on those business ideas I originally sent you.
Note: Iām often asked what tools I use in my business. Hereās my current list of tools to help you with your money-making ideas. Iām also tracking the AI tools Iām using. Reply to this email and ask me anything about themāI'm happy to help. Also, I always use referral links when I have them. I may make a commission if you purchase through the links.

Before we get going, I launched a hangout for local media creators (blog, newsletters, etc.) called The Local Media Crew.
Weāve already got nearly 20 local creators hanging out and sharing strategies - itās great!
I didnāt mean for it to be another side hustle, but if it keeps growing, Iāll track it in this email.

š¤ How Iām Using AI This Week
Itās funny, Iāve started to be a user of my own tools ā when I need a YouTube thumbnail or to know a character count, I just hop to my tool list.
Here I go again!
I had 2 more tool ideas this past week, and I made them (well, AI helped).
I made a title case converter and an email size calculator.
Iām also deep into building a side hustle tool.
This is the first tool Iāve made that I will plan to sell, as it will help folks figure out which side hustle might be the best fit for them to start.
I could sell it here in my newsletter, on Etsy, or via Facebook ads ā weāll see!
Either way, Iāll share what I learn through the process.
I also keep a running list for potential tools to build.
What I am debating is whether or not to set them up as simple websites or not.
I think I will do it with a few of them, just to see if they possibly rank over time.
In the past week, Iāve heard of more AI companies and tools that I need to look intoā¦
With so many AI tools coming out that I need to test, I also launched this doc to keep up with it all.
Feel free to bookmark - let me know what tools I need to add.
Thereās a lotā¦
Thatās just scratching the surface.
I have a ton to test and look into.
Which makes me wonderā¦
Should I make a paid product to help folks find the best AI tools for their projects? |
Ok, on to some project updates!
Domain Name Flipping [09/28/24 Update]
No sales yet.
I bought several .chat domains because there was a promotion deal.
If I donāt sell any of these in the first year, Iāll only renew the best ones.
I think a few of them are pretty great, but of course, Iām a bit biased š
Iām also looking to line up some additional firepower with some domain brokers for them to do some outreach. I have one broker working with a few of my domains, but this week I plan to do more networking with brokers to see how they operate, etc.
I talk about my domain flipping challenge more in this YouTube video.
Iāve purchased 79 90 domain names (Iām buying at least 10 more if you have names you no longer need or want).
What Iām Learning: Once you have your strategy dialed in and everything set up properly, it can be passive. I havenāt thought much about it this past week (well, except for a domain Iām thinking about buying).
[2x] Facebook Page Growth Project [09/28/24 Update]
[if youāre looking for more tools for growing Facebook pages, I took this course (referral link) ā pretty solid].
Note: I just made a video talking about some of my strategy for growing my Facebook pages using AI tools.
You can watch it here or watch below.
Here are my updates.
Corporate Rain is still averaging $.02-$.03 per like, and we just crossed 2.8k 3.2k fans on this one. Iām not so sure this page is the right fit for Facebook. As of this past week, I paused the ads for it.

But, Iāve continued the ads to this same audience to grow this email community (so hello if youāre from those ads!) Currently, itās costing me about $.50-60 cents, which I think is pretty good.
Our other page is continuing to rock on as well.
And we just passed 11,000 12,000 ā sweet!

And Iām still gaining followers for $.02-$.03 each, but Iāve slowed spending on this page to figure out organic growth.
I also tested an ad arbitrage deal and failed.
Granted, I only spent $6, I still knew it was heading in the wrong direction (less than 40 clicks). I think I made like $.50 or so ā- I donāt need to be a math pro to put a pause on that one!
Iām game to try again with some fresh ideas.
Now Iām testing different post types, linking to blog posts, etc. - in the video above, I talk about some of the things weāre finding successful.
What Iām Learning: Iām still waiting on an invite to the Facebook bonus program. I hope that this will cover the cost of growth as I expand into other revenue streams. Iāll keep you posted.
Amazon Influencer Program [09/28/24 Update]
Wild, but I created more than 125 new videos this past week. The reason is I was just invited to make special types of videos within the program. [Iām not allowed to discuss the terms, but itās an interesting reason you may want to join the program.]
Tell me youāre an Amazon Influencer without telling me youāre an Amazon Influencer. š

I showed up to my house on Friday with a lot of boxes on the doorstepš
Iām also thinking to create a simple digital product with some strategy.
Should I create this?
Should I make digital content to give you some of the secrets and tips I've learned? |
(and if you want, you can check each weekly update since. Iāve come a long way from $2.81 per hour!)
I now have103 107 videos. [Iām not going to update this just yet with my new videos, as everything Iāve done is about to adjust all of this dataā¦]
Iāve hired freelancers to make 30 videos.
My total earnings equal $1,642.62 $1,706.91
When you factor in my expenses for video creation, Iām now at $51.63 per hour.
That officially makes my pay rate a six-figure job!
What Iām Learning: You may receive special offers to make certain types of content by being in the program. Itās content that Amazon wants more of in certain categories. The only way to get these offers is to be in the program.
YouTube Music Channel [09/28/24 Update]
Slow and Steady⦠I guess Iāll keep posting updates for this one (even if not much movement..)
The Story: When I work, I usually listen to LoFi hip hop or Chillstep or Ambient tunes that help me focus. I launched my own channel with the idea that I would listen to my own channel and be my own best customer.

We signed up for a month of Suno and created 100+ songs for our videos. I created a template using Descript that allows for quicker song creation.
I made a vid showing my process if youād like to check it outā¦
Updated Stats:
94 videos
96 videos
99 subscribers
100 subscribers
What Iām Learning: We will keep creating different types of vids (just made a beach waves video thatās pretty great) and assess where we are once we cross 100 videos. At that point, Iāll take a hard look and decide how to proceed with this project. Whether to Pause or Keep Going.
Which online business projects do you want me to talk more about? |
Want FREE Promo in My Newsletter?
If you refer my newsletter to 2 friends who could benefit, Iāll shout you out and link to you in the newsletter! (use your referral link below to send to your friends).
Until next time!
(keep destroying that box š)
