hey guys thanks for joining me for a new
video today we're going to be doing my
october 2021 passive income report i'm
gonna show you how many sales i made and
how much profit i took home from my
amazon fba business my merch business my
non-amazon merch print on demand sales
that i call drop ship print on demand my
kdp sales and i'm gonna bring it home
with my google ads sales so you get an
idea of how much money i bring in from
passive income online let's get started
[Music]

also down there i've got a link to my
free
mini courses so you can start your
ecommerce businesses and i've got a
great facebook community if you guys
would like to join all right let's get
to the income report all right we'll
start with my amazon fba sales so i made
771 sales that brought in 16 875 dollars
in revenue the profit that i took home 4
387.50 for a margin of 26
by the way i could use a recommendation
for a new uh profit calculator tool for
seller central because
i spent like an hour trying to figure
out the um jungle scout sales analytics
and it's just not a great option
um for for me i don't know i couldn't
figure it out honestly like i got some
of it working but then i was seeing
errors when i was trying to add my um
all of my product costs so
uh this is a screenshot from jungle
scout sales analytics but i probably
need to move on from that tool um
unfortunately they closed fetcher down
fetcher was what their old tool was
called and that was what i used to use
like every single day and i loved
fetcher
unfortunately it is no more so nothing i
can really do about it
um my advertising
spend was 583 dollars and again this is
just seller central that generated 156
orders
and
eight cents eight pennies under
almost a clean even five thousand
dollars in sales my acos was only eleven
point six eight percent which uh is
really nice considering that my average
profit margin on the um fba products i
sell is probably right around 30 maybe a
little bit higher
um given the like caps on my inventory
that by the way have finally been
getting better my inventory performance
score has gone up so i can send more
inventory into amazon um but yeah prior
like when i was dealing with the cap
stuff
i was really prioritizing keeping my
best sellers in stock as you know you
would imagine i would do and that's why
they have such nice profit percentages
because not all of them have and that's
with like that's with like increased uh
shipping costs and whatnot increased raw
material cost
so um definitely a good situation um
this month
and yeah happy with the um profit of 4
387 dollars what was i going to say oh
yeah i was going to say that
um i know that you know most people
don't even care about the fba stuff that
i talk about on youtube or at least
based on how many people view my fba
videos
but you know i've mentioned if you guys
have been following my income reports
for 2021 that i've been getting in like
a mini legal battle with the company
that is like the number one retailer
of my best-selling brand of products and
like
unfortunately they've got a bigger
bankroll like they've been established
for a much longer time they sell direct
you know b2b uh whereas like you know
with amazon i'm not complaining i do
dominate amazon but like they're coming
for amazon now and so what do you think
they did do you think they just tried to
make better listings and do it the
old-fashioned way no they uh sent me
like cease and desist letters
threatening to sue you know what i mean
and um i had to like hire a lawyer spend
a bunch of money there
and it's looking like i'm probably just
gonna cut ties with the product at the
end of this year unfortunately so you
know it is what it is but that you know
hey in 2022 i'm going to start the year
off by launching a new product so
that'll be fun
all right let's move on to amazon merch
okay i had to pause the video for a
second there because these boys were
being crazy right next to me uh the two
chihuahuas were like
literally like vacuum cleaners sucking
up their food i have no clue why they
like don't eat all day and then all of a
sudden out of nowhere they act like
they've been starving for the past week
and they suck up all the food so just
had to let them say hello there because
i was like watching them out of the
corner of my eye like what are they
doing over there i had to pick the food
up because that was crazy
anyways back to the reason you're here
amazon merch sales
1539 sales
in the month of october generating six
thousand three hundred ninety four
dollars in revenue of that i kept wait
is that right okay i flipped the numbers
i'm gonna have to fix that in the blog
post revenue generated was thirty one
thousand two hundred sixty eight
royalties profit that i kept was 6 394.
so i will fix those in the website post
after this but profit that you guys care
about 6394 on the month uh my
advertising to generate that was 1200 a
little bit under 1200 but for all
intents and purposes let's just do 6400
minus 1200
profit 5200 on the month um that's after
converting you know euros and whatnot to
usd
so you can also see on the the blog post
the breakdown of profit by marketplace
um us market was the best followed by i
believe uk market
uh followed by german market and then it
looks like italian market um
french market spain and then i think uh
japan all right so if you would like to
see more in-depth analytics on my merch
by amazon sales check it out i'll put a
link to the income report in the
description
you can see that pullover hoodies
increased month over month to five
percent of my sales standard t-shirts
made up 83 though as you would expect um
i'm expecting this to become like i know
i'm always going to have standard
t-shirts as my best sellers but
every day when i'm um pushing new
products to merch by amazon and maxing
out the 10 000 products that i can push
each day
uh i push one design to 64 products when
you do the products and marketplaces
math
so i'm making it available on everything
because i do want to see if i can
increase sales on throw pillows or tote
bags or phone cases etc i'm surprised i
don't sell more phone cases because my
designs do look pretty good when they're
converted but anyways
you can see here popular products
standard t-shirt followed by hoodies
long sleeve shirts v-neck shirts premium
shirts tank tops pop sockets sweatshirts
zip hoodies
raglan i had five sales so in that order
basically
uh fit type uh 62 men 24 women
top colors black
navy heather gray white royal blue
purple heather blue red
uh and then my upload progress so far
i'm at 155 000 published designs of the
200 000
um it's really tough to like i don't i
don't know if it's even possible to get
that filled without like making a bunch
of sales because each day i'm uploading
more but then old ones that are a year
old are getting pulled off so it's kind
of like i put a bunch up and a bunch get
pulled down so that's why that that the
progress bar doesn't go up that much
each month even though i do
upload every single day pretty much
and my max product potential of the
eight per um of the 13.2 million
available
if i max out everything perfectly i'm at
eight percent which actually isn't that
bad
all right drop ship print on demand
sales 642 sales on the month of october
profit generated 3 721.
uh amazon.com i had a really big month
anybody that follows me on instagram
i'll be honest like i'm just not that
active on social media in general but i
do try to make a point of every day
going on instagram and adding to my
story my daily sales for
amazon fba the day before amazon merch
and uh printful amazon integration
now i do sell on amazon through seller
central
both fulfilled by printful and fulfilled
by gearbubble so the printful sales
don't capture everything but i do make
the majority of my sales through
printful um
but yeah like anybody who's been
following me on instagram knows that
like i was having a pretty good month
if you if you follow like regularly um i
was i was having some days that were
like just huge
uh so amazon.com 536 sales amazon.com uk
two sales ebay 31 etsy zero red bubble
61 spreadshirt 7 t public teespring 0
zazzle 5
all right and then these are like the
charts that you can find on printful if
you go to your statistics tab on your
dashboard and then this used to be the
default but now they hit it you have to
click costs
and if you click costs it will show you
these tables it doesn't just show you
your cost by the way it shows you like
all the relevant data like your profit
and whatnot although it won't know your
true profit you have to then deduct
the referral fees that the marketplaces
take
i do all of that before i publish these
income reports and that gets rolled up
into my profit number
so
oh here's a breakdown by platform so
amazon.com 3098 profit ebay 422
redbubble 149.95
shirt 20 bucks amazon.com uk 18 and
change zazzle 12 bucks and i earned a
gold volume discount for the month of
november guys this is big that means
that my fulfillment costs for products
fulfilled by printful are going to be
reduced by eight percent so that's just
added profit and the one thing i should
mention is like when i'm fulfilling my
printful orders to amazon printful
orders to ebay
i don't actually when i'm doing my
profit margin up here like i don't
actually factor in the uh the profit um
what am i trying to say the volume
discount okay so that number is actually
slightly higher because
i should have deducted um the seven
percent for last month and then in
november it's eight percent so i gained
an extra percent so that's always good
amazon kdp 55 sales 97.89 profit average
royalty 1.78 uh every month i say i need
to do a better job at kdp and then i
just don't find the time to so i hate
saying that but um it is november so now
would be the time if i can really figure
it out and i really want to run ads to
my kdp
um
kdp products i'm experimenting with
something
right now like today
uh and if it works out i will of course
let you guys know make sure you're
subscribed all right as far as as far as
marketplaces go amazon amazon.com 68
profit
uh amazon.com.uk16
uh amazon italy four dollars germany
four dollars canada two dollars spain
171. all right google ads uh looks like
i have an error in my
i gotta fix this website post a little
typo there uh so my earnings total
4291 dollars profit on the month of
october uh youtube brought in 4 242 of
profit my website is having a really
crappy month 49 profit um i always say
though i do do direct deals with
advertisers and i make
definitely more than that um in the four
figure profit monthly on average so yeah
um just not this is just what google
pays me okay
uh page views
377 000 page views add impressions 338
000. okay
and here's a screenshot of my google ads
dashboard i think pablo wants to say hi
again he's over here looking at me like
what are you doing talking to nobody
when i'm looking at the webcam and
talking into this mic he's like who are
you talking to
uh google analytics for the website
right here it looks like we had some big
spikes towards the end of october but
generally speaking not a big month
uh the channel so my main channel on
youtube 187 611 views 4 105 in revenue
for the main channel my secondary
channel even though i only posted like i
think two or three videos last month
still brought in 136 dollars in revenue
so that's pretty good i have a bunch of
videos i want to make for my um finance
channel
and i'm kind of experimenting with
different formats so check that out if
you're interested in that kind of stuff
um i'm not doing like cnbc type finance
i'm doing more like
real finance uh
reality not the distractions this is
more or less what i would call it uh 2
400 subscribers gained to my youtube
channel thank you guys for any new
subscribers welcome and uh according to
socialblade here 84 100 subscribers on
the channel so let's wrap up going back
to the top of the blog post here we go
october 2021
so going off of the most profitable uh
amazon merch
6400 profit which after we deduct the
ads i need to kind of figure out a way
of factoring that into the website but
about 5200 profit from merch by amazon
amazon fba 4 387 profit
uh google ads
thousand two hundred ninety one dollars
profit drop shipped print on demand
which is what i just roll all of my
print on demand sales up into that are
not from merch by amazon uh three
thousand seven hundred twenty one
dollars profit and amazon kdp 97 dollars
profit for a grand total on the month of
eight that eighteen thousand
eight hundred ninety one dollars sixty
six cents
yes that was a good month guys um
hopefully uh hoping to see this number
go up as we head into the fourth quarter
i'm pretty darn sure it's going to i'm
excited to see what the fourth quarter
is going to bring
me and you um let me know if you're
seeing an increase in sales in the
fourth quarter thus far like my merch by
amazon sales for instance definitely saw
some upward momentum heading into
october some of that's from halloween
but some of it is just i don't know i
just think like buying things like
people do more spending uh in the fourth
quarter generally speaking but it for
sure starts to be obvious in november
december and um yeah start on those
christmas shirts focus on cross niching
and that's that's my biggest
recommendation so we've been working on
when i say we uh i mainly do like bulk
scaled out products um marielle has been
working on her merch account
doing some killer
christmas shirts but they're cross
niched
and i just have a great feeling that
she's gonna i mean i went in there and
uh visited her earlier today and i was
like man those shirts are killer that
you're working on and she's got like a
templated approach too so she's gonna
fill up her upload slots and there's
just a lot of different ways you can you
can utilize a good template for any
design for any niche um and i got some
ideas that we're going to experiment
with to see if we can get make her some
sales off of amazon as well anyways i'm
rambling guys thank you for watching if
