In partnership with
Howdy!
I’m excited to hang out with you and 5,227 5,247 other box destroyers today! I’ll share my projects and the strategies I’m testing.
Note: I’m often asked what tools I use in my business. Here’s my current list of tools to help you with your money-making ideas. I’m also tracking the AI tools I’m using. Reply to this email and ask me anything —I'm happy to help. Also, I always use referral links when I have them. I will probably make a commission if you purchase through the links, so thanks :)

I think I’ll create more in 2025 than I have in the past 5-7 years.
Why is that?
A.I.
On one hand, I’m swamped with the learning curve.
But on the other hand, I feel like my tasks are more fluid.
It’s becoming more natural to have discussions (both text and voice).
And it’s easier and easier to treat it like a brainstorm buddy and an expert in any domain.
2025 is gonna be wild.
Buckle up.
Speaking of AI…
🤖 How I’m Using AI This Week
I decided to make ChatGPT my sparring partner for building a Facebook ad.
Now, here’s the key.
I didn’t say, “build me a Facebook ad.”
I started with a design I created in Canva.
This.
And I asked it how I could improve.
We had a bit of back and forth.
Here’s my final ad.
Much better.
This will convert better.
This will save me money.
Nice job Mac! (my name for ChatGPT).
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 shared an interest in wanting a membership group, so I’d like your feedback on that.
Can you answer below?

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.
Last week, I showed you this giant wall calendar I bought so I can see the full year ahead.
Feel free to snag one here.
Related to that, 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!
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.
However, I was approached to purchase a domain name investing community, which interests me.
I’ve run some numbers and I’m still waiting to hear back from the owner.
But I’d need to expand my team and get some help.
Anyone interested?
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 the last month or so.
I now have 120 127 videos.
(plus 75 videos from other creators..)
My total earnings equal $3,224.97 $3,387.35
After expenses, I’m making $61.17 $63.13 per hour.

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

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
Most of the audience is international, and I think that’s why I’ve had limited ad opportunities — time will tell…
I also set up a welcome email for new subscribers, which it didn’t have before.
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.
So, I also set up some boosts. These are basically other email newsletters I can get paid a referral fee to recommend — you can see examples of my live boosts here.
Other projects I’ll update over time (or provide future updates) include…
