Client work income was steady, but there wasn’t much else happening. Even loading up more clients or other projects into the pipeline wasn’t really happening this month. I really need to work on something else, especially if I am paying seller fees now.
Selling more is definitely on the list of things to accomplish. With the Fulfillment By Amazon items being sold quickly and being super easy to manage, I would like to scale that up. This is the perfect time of year to do that, even with the higher fees Amazon charges. I would also like to capitalize on the Amazon affiliate websites, and try to get those sold.
I like the websites as a more longer term plan since I control inventory, and can scale up and down as I need money. However, it takes longer to get established and build a customers list to have available when I want to scale up. Selling other products is quicker, but using another company’s products makes me vulnerable to that company. If they won’t let me sell on Amazon or even the internet, there’s nothing I can really do about it.
