My voice has been used by folks on Elevenlabs other than me (you can generate your own AI voices on Elevenlabs).

I saw $3.94 in my account for this usage.

One day, I may hear some sort of promotion using my digital voice.

That’s nuts.

I just signed up, so I’ll share more as I know more…

Speaking of AI…

🤖 How I’m Using AI This Week

Last week, I shared how I used AI to help me brainstorm my new Facebook ads.

Well, it’s getting me email leads for $0.22 each, which is a win.

I started with this…

We had a bit of back and forth.

Some brainstorming.

And I ended up with this as my final ad.

Since this idea is working, I asked for more similar ideas.

I swapped the images out.

Now I’ve even got one of those ads getting me email leads at $.10 each

Let’s hope this continues.

I’m making a YouTube video on this soon, so stay tuned!

With so many AI tools coming out that I need to test, I launched this doc to keep up with it all.

Feel free to bookmark - let me know what tools I need to add.

Ok, many of you were interested in a membership group, so I’d like your feedback on that.

Can you answer below if you haven’t already?

What would you want in a membership group?

And staying on the AI path, I was just testing a few tools for creating on our new Facebook dog page I talked about last week.

Feel free to watch it here if you want to see a bit of how I’m running the show.

I am creating my own daily planner (it’s for me, but I’ll be sure to share once I get it set up).

Here’s why…

Although I use every digital tool known to man to stay organized — Google Calendar, Trello, etc. — I still write on paper daily.

I do things like goal setting.

And every day, I have a physical list I work from.

So I’m designing my own.

I’ll plan to design it for Amazon KDP (Kindle Direct Publishing) so that I can sell it there as well for others that will find it helpful.

I’m hoping to have a working design in the next 30 days or so, because I want one!

I’m testing printed versions so that I can make notes on formatting options.

Have ideas that can make it better? Let me know! (just reply).

Domain Name Flipping [Update]

No new domain purchases.

No personal sales to report.

In 2025, I think I can use tech (AI agents may be ready) to help me outbound.

I would like to do outreach a bit more with a handful of the domains that I own, but I’ve got to develop a system so that I can turn it over to someone (or a tool).

I’m still buying a few more domain names (land) before I sit tight on my portfolio and slowly sell over time to reinvest.

You can see most of my domains here.

Amazon Influencer Program [Update]

I haven’t made any videos in the last month or so.

I now have 120 127 videos.

(plus 75 videos from other creators..)

My total earnings equal $3,387.35 $3,544.76

After expenses, I’m making $63.13 $64.17 per hour.

I created a digital download that includes the best tips I’ve gathered from the Amazon Influencer Program.

You can get it here.

If you want to learn more about Amazon Influencer, an overview of the program is here, and my first update is here.

(If you want, you can check each weekly update. I’ve come a long way from $2.81 per hour!)

I’ve created a nice workflow with my team to get out a weekly newsletter for this.

And I set up a domain for it — HustleRemote.com

Previously, I was worried that we weren’t getting ad opportunities.

But lately, we’ve received lots of ad requests.

So our next few weeks’ editions will have 2 sponsorship ads each!

I also set up a welcome email for new subscribers, which it didn’t have before. And in that email we have recommendations, which we’ll get paid for when people sign up.

If you’re a beehiiv user (if not, you should be ha!) you can set up boosts to earn extra cash for other newsletters your readers sign up for.

Other projects I’ll update over time (or provide future updates) include…
