Happy Wednesday! 👋
This week’s newsletter is a day late because of the US holiday over the weekend. Another month means another side hustle income report from me.
Here’s how much I earned in August 2022:
eBay: $850 profit from 34 sales
Medium: $293-12 stories published
Amazon KDP: $49 from royalties
Constant Content: $26 from 1 story sale
This newsletter: $87 from affiliate links
Total: $1,305
I also lost money last month because Google Adsense demonetized my niche blog. I’m still working to build new ways to monetize it. You can read about that heartbreak here.
Let’s dive into today’s newsletter.
In today’s newsletter, you’ll find:

This week’s eBay BOLO: Textbooks
I wish someone would’ve told me in college that I could’ve sold my textbooks on eBay. Textbooks can sell quickly, for decent money and are super simple to ship.
In the past, I’ve purchased textbooks at thrift stores for 50 cents and resold them the same week for $35. Shipping them through USPS Media Mail is extremely cheap as well.
I know resellers who just flip textbooks. They stand around all day scanning and buying used books to sell online and you can too!
