TIE #060: How This Newsletter Made $9,299 in May 2024

Why aren't you doing this too?

Your first step to escaping the rat race is making your first $1,000 online.

I don’t care what anyone else says, the best way to accomplish this as a beginner is with a simple Amazon business where you sell other people’s products.

It worked for me 10 years ago and it’s what I would do if I had to start over from scratch today.

You can either try and figure that out on your own or you can join my private mentorship group here.

Choice is yours.

Welcome to the monthly performance update of this newsletter.

Not only do I document multiple businesses inside it, but I also document the newsletter itself.

I came up with this idea because I wished someone out there did it but couldn’t find anyone doing it.

So I said: “Fine, I’ll do it myself”

Let’s take a look at how things went in May:

Total subscribers gained: +1,783

Even though I pruned around 400 subscribers again, we still gained an insane amount.

The drastic increase is a result of several TikTok videos I posted going viral.

I don’t put any effort into TikTok, I just yap for 60-90 seconds and then hit post:

No special editing or hard work was put into these.

Next we have paid subscribers:

Paid subscribers gained: +16

Thanks to the May the 4th sale, we gained a solid number of subscribers in May.

As you can see though, some have started to fall off in June.

It is what it is.

Next we have traffic:

Total Views: 164,335

Pretty consistent throughout the month, with 9 days receiving over 10,000 views.

Nothing to complain about there.

Here are the main traffic sources:

Our YouTube number increased like I wanted, but not by much.

I only published two videos.

I will increase that number for the coming weeks.

We got an extra 7,000 views from TikTok vs. April while we got nearly 5,000 less from Twitter.

I have noticed that Instagram is apparently a great resource for paid subscribers.

Something to keep in mind.

Lastly we have paid subscription revenue (100% profit):

Total Profit: $9,299.00

You’re looking at a $2,200 increase vs. April.

It appears that when an opportunity presents itself in the LEGO investing world people scramble to sign up for a paid subscription to learn how I’m approaching it.

Pretty good for something I don’t go out of my way to advertise.

I wish I did something like this when I was a broke college student.

An extra $1,000/month would have helped me tremendously, let alone an extra $9,000.

I’m not a good writer.

I just document what I’m doing and share snippets on social media.

Simple as that.
