Howdy!

Every week I share the business projects I’m working on and what I’m learning — excited to hang out with you.

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 got a confession.

There’s so much going on in the tech space — it’s really hard to stay focused.

But that’s ok because I’m just trying to be a sponge and learn as much as possible.

Last week, I told you about a project I launched in a few hours because I wanted to take action.

You can read about it here » Earned $1 in Less Than 36 Hours 

I’ve since created marketing reports for a handful of marketing agency owner friends and I’m waiting to hear from them if they find the reports valuable.

I’ll take what they say to heart.

I’ll let you know what I find out!

Ok, I’m soon to circle back to my credit card tracking tool!

I’m getting closer with this.

I’m building out the AI advisor that will help answer questions about the user’s credit cards.

I also had the idea to create a “top 50” credit card list, so I’ll get that live as well before launch.

If you see a need for it or would just like to follow along, you can sign up for updates here.

Have you guys heard of Kalshi?

You can trade on the outcome of future events.

Very interesting site that’s similar to a site like Polymarket.

Polymarket is currently not allowed in the U.S.

And many other sites that do sports betting aren’t allowed in many U.S. states.

But Kalshi is available in all 50 states.

Here’s $10 for free if you want to test it out.

🐶PetMurals

Ok, so PetMurals.com is now live and has gotten its first users.

No paying customers yet.

I’ve spent $35 $70 out of $100 on Facebook ads as a test to get a sense of the demand for the dog moms out there.

Below are some of the ad samples. 👇

This project was more of test for learning how to build, so I’m not sure if I’ll invest more time into growing it.

We’ll see — want to help me grow it? Reach out!

💵 TrackitandSave

Have you checked out Track it and Save yet?

I’ve shipped a few new updates for the tool and will continue to do so.

And I’m continuing to log in and use it often (just added some notes today to a subscription I have).

There’s a free tier, so if it’s a tool you can use, I hope you find it helpful.

It’s been very helpful for me, so I decided to make the tool public.

I used a combination of Cursor, Lovable, Claude, and ChatGPT to build out the tool.

A few months back I built a few websites with AI and did some cold outreach to businesses to help them out.

But it didn’t work.

I quickly figured out why 👇

Amazon Influencer Program [Update]

I’ve made more than $3,000 in 2025.

I periodically make videos for brands that reach out, and I charge them (so I get paid there as well).

But, some updates…

I have 141 147 videos.

(plus 90 videos from other creators..)

My total earnings equal $4,752.19 $5,341.35

After expenses, I’m making $103.25 $107.51 per hour.

Until next time!

Don’t just think outside the box — keep destroying that box 😉
