I am bound and determined to get this blog back up and running. It’s not like I don’t have time to work on it; it’s just that I can’t seem to get around to it. I really do need to work on getting all my writing going again. I do need to start earning my few pennies again. With the way things are going, I need all the pennies I can get.
To that end, I am working on developing as many passive sources of income as I can. I have set up on Benable, where I’ve already earned $22. Unfortunately, I have to hit $80 before I can get paid. I’ve also set up a store on my Linktree. On both, I earn a commission when people click through on a link a buy something.
If you are interested in joining Benable, please use this link. We both get a bonus when you set up your first referral. If you think you might like to use Linktree for yourself, click through on the above link, and you can click the button to join me and sign up.
I am working on a new shop. I have been increasingly unhappy with Etsy; their allowing Alligator Alcatraz merch on their platform was the last straw. My new shop is on Drifa’s Leap. I don’t have much listed at the moment. I need to redo photos for all my stuff before I can finish transferring from Etsy to there.
I still have my shop on Pixels/FAA, since my new knees are letting me get out and about more, I am working on getting more pictures taken to post for sale. So far, I am just out in my garden, but once the last of the heat and smoke go away, I have plans for getting further afield.
Where else can I set up an income source? Oh yes, I still have my Zazzle store, where I’ve discovered they are now selling things like area rugs:
I think I am going to be doing a lot of designing of home decor in the foreseeable future.
I am also working on setting up a Printful shop on my website, though I am still having a challenge trying to wrap my brain around the concept of drop shipping. I think I need to make sure I have money built up in my business account so I can pull it off.
I also have a Ko-fi account where people can buy me a coffee if they so wish. I am working on trying to be more active there and set up a shop for downloadable wallpapers.
I think that is pretty much it for various income sources for me, both passive and active. I am trying to get as many of my social media posts for them all as automated as possible, which is a challenge since I am using the free versions of Fedica and Buffer.
Oh, I forgot, I am still writing on Medium and working on writing more consistently there also.
