BIG CONGRATS to Marissa!
She's doing AWESOME in her first month.
(check out her earnings on the image)
That's $292...that's what will be paid to her.
Not gross sales, just her commission.
And she said most of that has come from just 1 video on amazon.
Crazy.
But that's the power of these amazon videos.
One day you're making a few bucks, the next you're making hundreds or thousands per month.
I see it all the time in our private group.
And you don't need to anything that a typical online business does:
You don't need to post on social all day.
You don't need to build a website.
You don't need followers.
You don't need to buy products.
I've said it before and I'll say it again - this is BY FAR the easiest way I've seen to make money online.
Period.

So the tiktok affiliate program is going pretty well.
Even despite my lack of posting consistently.
My 10th video went viral and made about $300 in a few days.
But then the shop selling the product got a violation and the product was taken down.
I did find other sellers for that product, and made new videos similar to the one that went viral, and they are doing alright - making some sales.
But 2 days ago, I posted a video with a cooking oil sprayer and went viral almost immediately.
That night I made about $80 in commissions, and the next day it went on to make $540 before noon:
But the shop was limited in orders (tiktok limits new shops to make sure they're legit), so it stopped at $540.
Then today (March 23rd, 2024), the shop was back and I checked my stats at 9am and I made $330 in commissions!
But...that was it.
It stopped again.
I went to look at the product in the marketplace and now it said that it was "unavailable" due to the shop getting a violation.
I contacted the shop again, haven't heard back yet.
But they may never be able to sell that product again. Which is a bummer.
So what I've learned so far:
Tiktok affiliate program is a lot more volatile that people make it seem on youtube.
Picking the right product at the right time is critical (although, a product can go viral days or weeks after you post the video - so that's good)
The more product videos you have, the more consistent your earnings will be.
So what's next?
I'm working on a very in-depth tiktok affiliate tutorial video that goes through my entire process from finding products to creating videos that sell.
I think I have a good formula for creating videos (they're literally 15-20 seconds long and most get 3k+ views), so I'll be sharing that soon.
The only thing I need to nail down is product selection.
Yes there are softwares like kalodata where you can get an idea, but I think the better way is to do a more manual approach.
...which I will hire someone to do for me soon.
And I might make a daily newsletter sharing the products I find, good hook ideas, selling points, etc.
Have you tried the tiktok affiliate program yet?
Comment and let me know.

What's your biggest challenge with your print on demand business?

The #1 Niche for Print on Demand
When it comes down to it - if you're selling on sites like etsy, amazon or rebubble...finding the niche isn't the problem.
The problem is that you're spending time researching niches.
Guess what. You should be creating products for every single niche out there.
It's a numbers game, friends.
The more designs you have up, the more chances you have at getting sales.
It's that simple.
So what should you do instead?
Make a list of ALL the niches, then work down that list.
Luckily for us, we have the internet. Which holds all the information ever.
So all you have to do is google "list of niches for [insert product here]" or "list of print on demand niches".
You'll find everything with those 2 searches.
But what if you want to own your customers? (selling on shopify)
Pick something you enjoy doing. Ideally a hobby/interest.
If you like playing a certain type of video games - there ya go.
If you love flower gardening - boom, done.
Simply make a list of things you enjoy doing and with that list, figure out which ones make the most sense to sell print on demand products around.
So what's the "#1 niche" for print on demand?
Tricked ya. There isn't one.
But a good niche that I've been in before (and still kinda am today with some influencer marketing campaigns) is...
The reading/books niche.
I fell into this category back in 2011-12 when I was writing my own kindle books (it was crazy profitable back then).
After writing 50+ books, I realized that authors were terrible marketers.
Long story short, my business plan was to build an email list of readers and sell "promotions" to authors to get people to buy their books.
The readers on my list would a book at a discount. The author would get sales. I would get ad revenue.
After about 6 months of running that business, it was doing okay.
Then I heard about teespring - and they enabled anyone to create a design on a tshirt and sell it without having to deal with making the product, shipping it, etc.
Since I had about 30,000 readers on an email list, I created a simple text design that said "I read past my bedtime".
I sent my normal emails, and included the link to the shirt - which was discounted and available for just 7 days.
I sold over 120 units and put $1,300+ in my pocket.
Since then, I've sold a TON of stuff to the reading community.
So if I had to pick the "best niche", it'd be readers.

I'll be increasing the price to $300 soon, so now is a good time to join.
Over the next few months I'm also working on some shopping campaigns - so I'll be adding more content there this fall.
Have a great weekend!

⭐ NICHE BRAND UPDATE #1 ⭐
I started a new niche brand 2 weeks ago, wanted to post a quick update on the progress so far.
I just crossed over the 5,400 follower mark 👍
I've spent about $140 to get these followers, which is a better price than I thought ($0.03 per like).
The content I'm posting on the page is also doing well - I'm reaching over 38,000 people per WEEK.
So all this talk about "my post reach is down on my facebook page" has got me thinking that those people are posting the wrong kind of content.
It's a social network...you gotta be social, duh.
I've also been doing a little research on the niche, trying to figure out what people would buy, what they need, etc.
I do think starting with selling clothing is the best and fastest option right now.
It's definitely not the most lucrative long term, but for now...it'll be fine.
So watch for an update on that.
If you want to follow along with this new brand, I'm documenting everything I do in video form inside the Branding Bootcamp.

Overall, I'm pretty excited about the future of this little niche business.
I can see it turning into something of a content heavy business: videos, articles, books, podcast, youtube channel, etc.
The monetization is almost endless:
I can make money posting videos on my facebook page.
I can sell physical books.
Affiliate marketing in this space can be a big part of the revenue (the products people use are expensive, which means larger commissions).
The clothing line could do well too.
Lots of possibilities.
Anyway, just wanted to give you an update. Check out the bootcamp if you're interested in following along.
I hope you take a few hours to relax today, have a beer, watch a movie, eat an unhealthy snack - you deserve it 👍
Cheers,
Eric from ShuckaBuck
