I had my best selling brand restocked towards the end of the month.

I almost immediately need to re-order, as sales picked up very quickly (a good thing!)

I took the opportunity to increase my prices, while also running a 5% off coupon to entice customers to click my listing instead of my competitors.

My top-grossing product was one that I revived from the dead ahead of Christmas 2019 (a decision I'm very grateful for, as it's been selling well year-round & has above a 30% profit margin).

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

I was extremely happy with my Amazon Merch sales in January, as they topped $3,000 profit in what's usually a slow month!

This is an awesome way to kick off 2021, and I hope to keep the momentum up all year.

My dropshipped print on demand sales were steady, I think anything in the range of $1,750 - $2,000 is what I'd say I expect to make.

As usual, the + Amazon integration was my leading profit generator.

Check out my views on Teespring:

I consistently make 0 sales, but am getting views... that seem to be capped at maximum 50/day. Weird.

January 2021 KDP Profit

$112.05 of profit was generated on 59 sales @ an average royalty of $1.90 per paperback book.

Starting the year off with $112 in profit is a good start to the year, albeit under my desired sales.

I've been consistent wiht pushing 500+ sales/week at a minimum, taking the low-content approach.

Amazon KDP's "Reports Beta" screen is still broken when you try to drill into order data, unfortunatley. Hopefully it's fixed soon so that I can grab the normal screenshots that I include with my income reports.

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.

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!

January 2021 ad revenue * 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:
