How I Made $4,528 Last Month!! (My #1 Side Hustle)

Imagine waking up tomorrow, checking your bank account, and there's an extra $4,500 in there. That's what happened to me this month, and stay tuned, I'll show you how you can work towards that as well. So I started a software business in 2011, and I grew that business, sold it in 2020. So I had a big chunk of change. With that money, I've been looking around for different ways to make extra passive income. And kinda what I'm doing on my YouTube channel right now is I'm looking around at these different ways to make money, checking them out for myself, and then I'm just gonna present to you guys what I find. Lots of them are scams, so you really have to look to find the nuggets that are actually gonna be worth it. This particular one, where I did make $4,500 last month, I've made a total of $20,000 from this since March. This involves Amazon. Now before you stop the video, because you're like, oh yeah, everybody's making money on Amazon, this is different than what you probably heard of before. I haven't seen this anywhere else. There's a new program that Amazon's offering. Amazon has found that review videos have really increased the conversion rate of people buying products on their platform, drastically. Way more people buy when they have a video of somebody reviewing the product they're about, they're thinking about buying. So Amazon's really wanting people to upload review videos. But for most of us, it's like, we don't have time for that. I don't have time when I buy a product to record a video of it. There's no incentive to do that. So Amazon has started incentivizing people to upload review videos of the products they've already bought. So you record a quick video just of whatever you've bought from Amazon. I bought 400 packages last month. My family has a Amazon problem, you might say. But you can take any of those products, do a quick video review just on your phone, saying, hey, I bought this, it was great. But you record these review videos, you upload them to Amazon, and if anybody watches your review video that Amazon puts on the product page, and then they buy after watching your video, you get a commission, usually between two and 4%. So if you have a $200 pair of AirPods, you do a quick review saying, wow, AirPods are great, look at this. Upload it to Amazon. If anybody watches that video and then buys the AirPods, you get $8. And then this becomes a passive income stream, where now, okay, maybe I've got 10 products now, and each one's making five, 10, $15 a day. So if I did a review video for each 400 of my products, even if they only made, each one made 33 cents per day, okay, very doable, that's an extra 4,000 bucks a month right there. This is something that you can totally do on your own. You can start it right now. The problems I ran into when I was doing it on my own was, well, which products work best? What kind of review videos get the best results? Anytime you start diving into this, you end up with all these questions. And again, something, if you want to work through that on your own, totally fine. But I met Kyle from Profitable Product Videos, and he's been doing this ever since this program started. And he's become an expert on the best ways to make money from this. And what he's offering is a done-with-you program where you're setting up the account, you're making the review videos, but his team is walking you through, hey, here's what you need to do to set up the account, here are the products that are gonna work best, here's how your video should be. So there's not a lot of, all your questions get answered. So again, you can do this on your own, but this would be a way to supercharge that, to speed up the process. So when I had Kyle on my channel a few months ago to offer this done-with-you training course type thing, a lot of people from my community got into it and are seeing pretty good results. So again, I have a guy in my community making 3,500 bucks a month from this already, 2,700 bucks a month, 1,400 bucks a month, 5,700 bucks a month. And part of it depends on how much work you wanna put in. Some people wanna make 10 review videos a day, get 300 out there a month. Some people are like, hey, I don't wanna do that, let's do one a day. So the results are in your hands based on how much energy, time, work you wanna put into it. So in all of these people, it took them less than six months to get up to this point where they were making this amount of money. Program's blowing up right now. So when I had Kyle on the channel before, he was offering this Done With You program for $4,000. That was the price before. Stay tuned, it's not that anymore. This is why I'm doing this video. But again, all these people, they were totally okay paying the $4,000. If you pay $4,000 and you make $5,700 a month after six months, it's worth it. Nobody's complaining about that. But then Kyle messaged me last week, and actually, he has my phone number we text back and forth. He's a really great guy, I love Kyle. Shout out to Kyle. But he messaged me and he said, hey, James, I wanna come back on for another video. And I said, okay. And he said, I have a special deal for your community. I'm gonna offer that same Done With You program. It was $4,000. I'm gonna offer it for $1,000. You might have heard my voice just crack because I was really excited about this. $4,000 is, okay, that's quite a bit of money. I understand that. But $1,000, I think that's way more doable. That's way easier to make happen. So I was excited about this for my community. So it's $1,000 to get into the Done With You program. And he has a guarantee that if the goal is to make $1,000 a month after three months. So you pay $1,000 for the Done With You program. There is a bit of work. You're gonna be recording review videos, but their team walks you through it. And the goal is that you're making $1,000 a month after three months. And he has a guarantee that if you're not making $1,000 a month, they'll work with you for free, just forever. For the next 10 years if they have to get you to that $1,000 a month. So I'll leave a link to this down below. And stay tuned, he has a couple other options for you too if you're not wanting to do this. But I'll leave a link, $1,000, sign up here. And he called it a Cyber Monday Sale. But I took too long to get this video out and I convinced him he's gonna leave this open for the rest of the year. So January 1st it'll go back to 4,000 bucks. I was thinking this could be a Christmas present for people. I don't know if that's, if I'd be bummed. I don't know if you have an entrepreneurial maybe high school student or something like that. Maybe this could be an option for him. I was trying to decide if I would be bummed out if someone got me like a training course for a side hustle. For Christmas. I don't think I would, I think I would've been excited, would've tried it out. But that's an option. The $1,000 Done With You Program. Now for me, this was not the best option. This Done With You Program is really great if you don't have a lot of capital, but you have a lot of time. Okay, this is like a side hustle. I think this might be my favorite side hustle. Somebody's asking me, hey, what's a side hustle? I wanna make some extra money this year. I think this is the best one. But personally, I'm not looking for a side hustle. Okay, my schedule is packed. Morning to night, I have like zero free time. But I'm in a unique position. I sold my software business, so I have a bit of money sitting aside. So what Kyle's doing for me is a Done For You Program. So Done With You is you're doing the work, but they're walking you through it. Done For You is I don't do anything. Okay, that is passive income. That's what I was more interested in. But Kyle's team does all the work. They buy all the products, they record all the review videos, they get them all uploaded, they do everything. I think all I did was set up my Amazon account. I think that's all that I've done. And I started this halfway through March. So it's been about eight and a half months or so when I'm recording this. I haven't done anything. And up through October, I had made about $15,000. These are the other Done For You people. They all start about the same time, middle of March. So we got a 20K, we got a 25K, 26K. Then November, I made another four and a half K. So I'm actually up to almost 20K that I've made from this since March. So that's an average of about 2,200 bucks a month or so. And it actually increases each month because, again, if you think about it, month one, let's say you upload 50 videos. Then month two, you upload another 50 videos, but you still have the 50 that you uploaded month one. So now you have 100 videos. Month three, another 50, so now you have 150. So the numbers keep going up like this as you get more and more videos out there. I think they've uploaded 400 videos for me so far. So again, totally something you could do on your own, but not something I wanna do personally. I want the passive play. So this is a much better option for me. So this option's obviously way more expensive. They're doing all the work. It's 30K for this option. But if you're making 5K a month off of it, six months or so, you pay it off, and then the rest is just house money. And I'll keep doing update videos. I think if I do this again in three months, I'll be up at 35, 40K that I've made from this. So, and the biggest risks that I see, people always ask, what are the risks? I don't see any risk in Kyle. To be fair, I really love people, so he seems like a great guy to me. We've had a lot of great conversations. I don't see a ton of risk there. The biggest risk I see is probably that this is done on Amazon, because I've found Amazon can change things. They can say, yeah, you know what? We don't wanna do this reviews program anymore. That's a risk. So I just wanna be clear about that. But Amazon, for now, they keep offering even incentives. Hey, upload 25 videos this month. We'll give you an extra 100 bucks. Because they're finding these review videos are really increasing sales. So they're happy to incentivize people to keep going. And I think, if anything, I imagine they're going to expand this program to get more review videos out there. And there's no such thing as saturation. I don't know if you guys realize how big Amazon is. They sell $1.4 billion a day. Okay, so there's no way to be saturated. There are millions of products, billions of dollars in revenue flowing through each day. So two options for you. Number one, the Done With You program, $1,000. Guaranteed $1,000 a month in three months, or else they'll work with you one-on-one until you're there. You can always ask the team questions. That's what I think is probably most helpful. They have a bunch of cool software things. And now AI's making some of this even easier. And Kyle's on the forefront of that. They include all that with this. That's all $1,000. Put a link to that down below. The Done For You program, you can't buy it directly on the website. I'll leave a link to this. But he wants you to book a call with him, okay? He wants you to get all your questions answered. If you're gonna put 30K into something, it's not like a spur of the moment, hey, put this in your shopping cart. If you do have any more questions, just go ahead and schedule a call with Kyle, okay? I'll leave, again, this link, this book a call link. Even if you just have a question about the training course here, you can still schedule a call with him. He's a nice guy. He'd love to meet ya. Fill up his calendar. I'll also leave a link to, I did a full hour QA with him with my community. I'll leave a link to that so you can watch that to kind of, if you wanna dig in a little bit more, see what other types of questions people had. Also, wanna let you know, I had some Christian guys who are also focused on passive income and investing, things like that. They reached out and they said, hey, you're a Christian guy who loves passive income. Would you like to be all teamed up together? So I am really excited about this new community we put together. It's called Passive Income Engines, where we just talk all about side hustles and passive income and alternative investments. And it's a great community. I'm really excited to be a part of this. And we come at it all from a Christian perspective. So you don't have to be a Christian to be part of this group but again, we're not here to try and make a bunch of money so that when Lambo is not a question, that you will see, if you ask that in this group, probably gonna kick you out. Maybe not, but we'll at least talk with you. As followers of Jesus Christ, we're not interested in making more money so that we can start dressing all fancy, wear watches, things like that. We are looking to make more money so that we can help other people. Jesus says it makes you happier to give than it does to receive. And Christ has put in my heart a love for people and I love the joy that comes from helping people who are in need. So I think side hustles, passive income, great way to get some extra money so that you can help those in need. So, appreciate all you guys. I hope you have a great rest of your day and I will talk to you later.
