πŸ’° Income Report: May 2021

By on

May was an exciting month as I got some much anticipates re-orders back in stock for my FBA business (4 total SKUs) and my Amazon Merch account was upgraded!.

FINALLY! Multiple FBA inbound shipments reached Amazon, so I've got some best sellers back in stock.

One quick side note: The first shipment was delayed by so much time that it extended beyond 3-months and Amazon closed the shipment 1 day before it arrived... as a result, receiving it was delayed by about 25 days.

This chart below shows the daily sales breakdown for my Fulfilled-by-Amazon private label products:

Keep in mind, any products that's out of stock for a portion (or full duration) of the month due to things like supply chain issues or prolonged shipping time will reflect in lower overall sales.

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

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: 74
Profit: $139.67
Avg. Royalty: $1.89
2021 πŸ’° Profit to Date: $638.06

May 2021 KDP Profit

$139.67 of profit was generated on 74 sales @ an average royalty of $1.89 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: $73.19
  2. United Kingdom: $52.19
  3. Canada: $11.58
  4. Germany: $2.13
  5. Japan: $0.56

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.

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!

May 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:

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.
