My Story
Now that it's been a week, It feels appropriate to feel a little more about my story and how I got here- with some proof that I'm not a fake just here to sell you some extensions and I actually practice what I preach. So here is a screen shot of my December/January earnings so far for full transparency.
I started Amazon reviews May 13th- 2024- I bought myself a course for mothers day. I have honestly never jumped on a side hustle so quickly however was perhaps a bit of a serial side hustlers lol as i certainly had tried a few. I have dabbled in Etsy, marketing, the stock market (I still do this but I DO NOT teach it, trading is a personal journey but I can point you in the right direction and am happy to chat if it is something you're interested in.) and yes sadly- even water machines- that was a very expensive lesson.
Anyway, back to Amazon- so I got in fairly quickly, using my very over priced course, passed the audition, uploaded 7 reviews and then peaced out because I also run a seasonal summer business that was just kicking off. I came back 30 days later to realize I had made $45 dollars off those 7 reviews 🤑. Then I'm like holy sh*t... this actually works. However, the course I purchased covered nothing else and I still had a lot of questions, so I spent the next 2 months fumbling along, not really knowing what I was doing and of course- marketing the stupid course because it did work and selling a course for $100 a pop sounded appealing too. Between having no idea what I was doing, spending way to much time trying to sell people on this over priced course and my seasonal business- I made a couple hundred bucks but nothing worth bragging about- also never did sell a single course in case you were curious. That one is by a gal name Carrissa Derives- she still sells it, it's still way over priced- but I can't even remember what it is called and don't recommend it.
Because I still had so many questions though- I went looking for another course. I ended up settling on this guy- Influencer without a Following https://shop.beacons.ai/themobilemom/f590c69d-789b-47ac-aa94-fcc5a7b21674 It is a great course but it has ALOT of fluff. She spends 8 hours getting to the point and while she is very successful withing the AIP she decided to raise the price from 97 to 177 and I just found the morally conflicting. As someone who's really not a very good sales person and honestly hates marketing that killed my buzz but I do have her knowledge in my brain now lol.
I did go on to make a couple grand with the AIP over the next few months following her advice but continued to spend far to much time and energy on Marketing these stupid courses. Please hear me when I say Marketing is hard- Amazon is not- Marketing is. Building an audience, gaining trust, showing up on socials- hours and hours and hours and hours of wasted conversations. If I had spent that time doing reviews I'd be much further ahead.
I did acquire one more course December 2024. Unlock Amazon Reviews- it's less fluff, more action and more modestly priced though again the price is now going up from $77 to $97- with that said if you'd like something a little more organized, complete and marketing is your jam and you'd like a course to resell I do highly recommend Unlock Amazon Review since obviously you can't resell this free group lol. You can take a look here!
But I digress in saying- marketing sucks 🤣 It was my husband who finally said one day- why don't you just focus on Amazon since it actually works 🤯 that shouldn't have been so revolutionary but sometimes we just need a man to simplify the chaos that is a woman's brain. Now, I'm finally making a solid income online and it's honestly all related to Amazon. Both On Amazon, with the amazon extensions, UGC (we will talk about this soon enough- start at the beginning- Amazon is a natural and PERFECT stepping stone into UGC) and helping people get into the program with my stupid simple way in. I still kind of marvel as my ability to turn Amazon into an entire vibe and also feel some shame it took me so long considering we grew up together (p.s. I was a Vet tech before i decided to turn in my scrubs for the SAHM life but unfortunately need money so here we are lol.)
So why the heck am I here, you might be wondering. Why am I not just focusing on Amazon- well by now I am truly a wealth of knowledge between buying courses, trolling FB groups and actively participating in the program and I remain really passionate about saving people from making bad decisions in the online world. They are like vultures out there with their sleazy sales tactics and they will say anything to get people who probably can't afford it, or possibly don't belong in that world to buy that dream in the form of a course or a water machine so I've kind of made it my personal mission to save as many of you as I can from making the same mistakes I did.
At the end of the day, we aren't all meant for selling, recruiting or hustling and I feel obligated to be loud about Amazon because I know without a doubt that ANYONE who truly wants to can actually earn doing this. Amazon does not discriminate, plus there are many avenues for expanding if and when you're ready. So this group is my way of both giving back, doing my part to save the world lol, diversifying my own personal income and also finding my place and dare I say my people in the online space away from the chaos and competition that is social media and digital sales.
If you actually read this far- you're also amazing.
I will also add- no pressure but if you are looking for a course or info on any other digital avenues feel free to ask. I have access to about 100 courses on 100 other topics. I have friends who are experts at other things. I might be able to point you in the right direction, offer some resources and if nothing else I can guarantee I have an opinion on it 🤣
So once again, THANK YOU for being here, trusting me and letting me help you begin your digital journey in a way that actually sets you up for success. 🤟
Also- for fun- here's my store front! This is how simple 1200/month can be and knowing what I know now- a lot of these videos don't do me much good lol but c'est la vie! I have learnt a lot a long the way.
