Inspired by another post, decided to chart my 3 main trickles of passive income since starting. It’s been a pleasant surprise. : passive_income

I’ve been aware of passive income for a while and have tried many different things with varying success. I started on Amazon Merch and Redbubble by creating designs that I wanted to wear but couldn’t find anywhere because the niche wasn’t popular. I haven’t uploaded any new designs in 2 years because I haven’t been feeling creative but I’m hoping to change that this year. Amazon Merch has 150 live designs (Tier 500) and Redbubble has maybe 50 designs. Vast majority of Redbubble is from 1 design. Amazon Merch is also 1 or 2 designs that sell a couple pieces every month.

My affiliate code is for 1 service business. The service is a “necessary luxury”. In 2019, they were brand new to market and provided the cheapest, and easiest, way to accomplish a needed certification. When I googled the company late-2019, the top 3 suggestions were “Is company X a scam” “Is company X legit”, and “Company X reviews” (there were a couple on reddit but that was it). I decided to give them a chance and everything went smoothly so I created a YT video reviewing the company and process. The video did fairly well on YT (better than the company’s own vids) after a few weeks. I reached out to the company about a code for people in my community to save a couple bucks on their service. They quickly responded and my affilaite code was live in 1 day. I get a couple bucks and the person using the code gets to save a couple bucks. I pinned the code to my vids on YT and shared it in some niche communities I actively participate in who would utilize the service. I havent actively shared the code since the end of 2020 but it’s out there and doing numbers.

I’m looking forward to 2022 and hopefully growing the streams larger and maybe even adding a new one.
