how to be less poor

If you're a self-aware queen and you're just as poor as you think you are, you only buy necessities and you're still living paycheck to paycheck. I'm gonna be honest, the only solution is making more money. That's where you say, 'duh,' but I don't know how. That's why I'm here, diva. Today we're covering three specific ways to make extra income. Now, I could just tell you to go drive for Uber, but you need time in order to do that. So today, I'm assuming you'd like to eventually make more money in your sleep. So that's what we're building towards. That being said, all of these are gonna take a bit of creativity and work to set up. So without further ado, idea number one is Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP). This is self-publishing with Amazon. So you create anything from a romance novel to a children's book, publish them and either sell them digitally on Kindle or even softcover and hardcover books that Amazon will print on demand and ship for you. Obviously, this is a little more work upfront, you're creating a book. Associated costs include a royalty paid to Amazon per sale and any advertising that you do. This is great for writers and illustrators. Idea number two is Printful Print On Demand (POD). This is similar to KDP, whereas every order will be printed and shipped for you, minus the royalties plus more product variety. Here we aren't publishing books, but publishing custom products like hats, hoodies, mugs, stickers, really whatever you could think of. Associated costs here are going to be whatever your choice of e-commerce platform is, Amazon, Kindle, that's built in for you. You use Amazon, Printful, it's more flexible, you can use it with Shopify, Etsy, even Amazon, TikTok, shop. You can take your choice of e-commerce platform. That's gonna be your associated costs. Plus whatever advertising you want to do as well. This is great for graphic designers, artists, or just any creative people. And finally, idea number three, Digital Templates. This can be anything from Excel spreadsheets, Notion templates, Word documents, Canva templates, email templates, I think you get the gist. If you're tech-savvy, build a digital product that either solves a problem that you encounter or has to do with something that you're already good at. Associated costs to build are zero, but advertising can be tricky. So right there is three specific ways to make extra money online. Happy hustling, divas.
