- My first Amazon KDP book is live
Howdy!
Every week I share the business projects I’m working on — I’m excited to hang out with you and 5,239, 5,321 others.
I’m asked what tools I use in my business. Here’s my tool list, AI tool list, and money-making ideas to help you with your income stream building. Reply to this email and ask me anything - happy to help. A note: I always use referral links when I have them. I will make a commission if you purchase through the links, so thanks!

I’ve been working on a daily planner.
I decided to launch it on Amazon KDP.
I decided to create a daily planner with the exact process that I use on a daily basis.
And now I’ll have it in a book journal format I can use the entire year.
I’m my first customer, as I just ordered a copy!
PS - if you snag a copy, send me your receipt and I’ll send you a bonus.
Have you made Amazon KDP products before? I’d love to link up with you!
So far in 2025, we’ve made close to $2,854 $3,162 with our MSN Hustle.
We mainly write stories about entrepreneurs and share their growth stories.
If you’re interested in applying to write for them, you can get more info here.
I would like to see this grow.
I have a team member who 100% handles all of this for us and she does a killer job (Thanks Tish!)
She also gets paid a 10% commission each month, so she has an incentive to create great content.
It would be really cool to see us grow revenue and her make more in commission than her base pay!
My part is to help with ideas —- for example, I’m trying to integrate AI to help us automate some of our research and initial content creation.
This is my hack of the week!
I have started using this feature every day on my laptop.
I was "today years old" when I discovered that I could hit "Windows + H" to access the microphone for voice typing.
I just used it to type this post.
Game changer!

How I’m Using AI this Week…
My goal is to make 100 useful tools to help automate my life & business.
I created a new automation for my business.
It allows me to drop a link to an article into Slack.
Our AI assistant reads the article, conducts additional research, and then writes our own version, placing it in draft mode on WordPress for us to review/edit/publish.

If you want to learn more about Amazon Influencer, an overview of the program is here, and my first update is here.
(If you want, you can check each weekly update. I’ve come a long way from $2.81 per hour!)
It looks like I just booked a silent disco headphone event for October.
Currently, the only advertising outlet is our local newsletter.
So that will be $1,500 in revenue to produce a private event all thanks to the local media brand.
Pretty cool!
Events are another fun $$ stream for a local media brand.
[These are ideas we share over in the Local Media Crew if you ever want to join us!]
Other projects I’ll update over time (or provide future updates) include…
Real Estate Investing
My Daily Planner (in process…)
MSN writing hustle
4,000 weeks calendar (in process…)
See more current, past, and dead projects here.
Until next time!
Don’t just think outside the box — keep destroying that box 😉
