I really only had one SKU stocked for the entire month of April, but finally I will be receiving some major shipments of inventory some time in May.

Needless to say, supply chain/raw material issues an shipping delays have been brutal.

And here's my Campaign Manager statistics from Seller Central:

• Spend: $315.39 $147.22 MoM
• Sales: $1,304.65 $649.54 MoM
• ROAS: 0.08 9.15 MoM

Amazon Merch made a huge change to how their upload system works by distinguishing "designs" from "products", which was by far the biggest news of the month.

Check out this video below to hear my thoughts on the change:

I've continued to push new products on a daily basis until my upload slots are completely filled up, and increased the pricing on all products with a sale to the point that I make $5+ in royalties per sale.

I saw a massive uptick in my Ebay sales this month, which was probably the most notable news for my dropshipped print on demand business.

My Amazon.com sales were my leading profit generator, and I continued to push products manually each day to Seller Central via the Printful integration and also using PODTurbo's upload automation.

Amazon KDP

Sales: 55
Profit: $105.53
Avg. Royalty: $1.92
2021 💰 Profit to Date: $498.39

$105.53 of profit was generated on 55 sales @ an average royalty of $1.92 per paperback book.

I look at KDP as "extra free money", as my "minimal" approach involves using automation to convert my Amazon Merch designs into Amazon KDP book covers, that I accompany with a variety of low-content interiors.

Profit breakdown by market:

One really cool aspect of KDP is that each book published can be made available for sale on many of Amazon's biggest international marketplaces, with the click of a button! (UK, Germany, France, Spain, Italy, Canada, & Japan)

Here's a breakdown of my profits by Amazon marketplace:

1. United States: $71.59
2. United Kingdom: $19.86
3. Canada: $7.75
4. Germany: $6.33

Everyone should be taking advantage of Amazon KDP, regardless of how much time you have to dedicate to it (don't forget - it can be almost fully automated!)

If you'd like me to show you how I went from $0 to exceed $3,000+ profit selling low-content books on Amazon, you're in luck.

Enrollment in Ryan's Method: Amazon KDP is OPEN!

By selling "low content" books, we avoid spending time writing the content for book interiors & instead focus on selling notebook-style paperback books to various niche markets. Trust me - it works!

* data from Google Ads

I run a few popular websites where I collect advertising revenue via Google Ads (formerly Google AdSense). I also collect revenue via direct partnerships with advertisers & from affiliate links, but for times sake, I'm going to omit those deals.

I won't be doing month-to-month write ups here because I don't spend much time maintaining these websites. They started out as passion projects that allowed me to become a better web developer, but today I spend very little time working on them.

Here's a glimpse into my Google Analytics for my website:

YouTube Revenue

My YouTube channel (Ryan Hogue Passive Income) monetizes most videos that get posted.

As a result, I see a bit of additional income each month from Google running video (AdSense) ads.
