šāāļø What I Learned This Week...
Howdy!
Iām excited to hang out with you and 5,285 5,291 other box destroyers today! Iāll share my projects and the strategies Iām testing.
Also, Iām often asked what tools I use in my business. Hereās my current list of tools to help you with your money-making ideas. Iām also tracking the AI tools Iām using. Reply to this email and ask me anything āI'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 :)
Read Time: 5 minutes
As promised, Iāll also update you on real estate (itās one of my income streams).
[I just finished reading The Small and Mighty Real Estate Investor and am getting pumped to ramp back up my real estate investments].
A lot of the marketing strategies can be used in online business.
I also think itās smart to get involved in real-world assets (like real estate) so Iāll start sharing.
I wonāt share my entire real estate history, but currently, I have a few rental properties, I have a property Iām seller financing, and Iām creating online real estate leads that Iām referring to a local real estate agent in my market.
If youāre interested in learning specifics on any of the above, please reply and let me know!
This past week, I created a list of wholesalers in my area so that I can get on their buyer list. Wholesalers are investors who market to people who want to sell their homes fast and find good deals.
Domaining Community Launched.
Domain Name Lovers is live and has already generated its first $$.
I went from idea Ā» launch in a matter of days.
Promoting the group will be organic and simple.
I may possibly set up an X account for it and automate a channel as a fun marketing channel.
I will also mention the group in my domain investing YouTube videos (Iāve got 5-7 planned!)
I set up the marketing funnel and the group using 3 simple toolsā¦
Carrd ā you can build a landing page website for super cheap ā great product.
Thrivecart ā this is the tool I use for the checkout solution. The reason Iām using this instead of Stripe is that I can create cross-promotion of products, bump offers, etc.
Discord ā itās free, and Iāve found I like the interaction and how it works. Did I already mention itās free?
Is there a better way to build and put this together?
Probably.
In fact, there 100% is ā Skool, Circle, FB groups, etc. etc.
But I built it in a way where I already had the tools and knowledge.
And then I took action.
Now, I just need to grow it.
Donāt get caught researching for months with no action!
And now a quick word from our ad networkās sponsorā¦

Domain Name Flipping [Update]
I made this post yesterday on X.
Here are some domain investing figures I put together.
Super conservative.
For a passive business.
I'm a newb.
I only sold one name on accident š¤£
Thoughts from my pros out there?ā Brooks Conkle (@BrooksConkle)

My goal was to put together conservative figures to turn this into an income stream.
I think the truth is that Iāll never get there with 100 names.
I realize that now.
Plus, I am making more YouTube content about domaining and more names will lead to better content.
I need to set my new goal at 500 names.
And then once I get there, get to 1,000.
I now think 1,000 names is probably the minimum needed to start making some sales and see a solid ROI, and make this an actual part-time business.
Plus, buying more names will help me in the DomainNameLovers.com group.
A few that I think will make a great fit for the coming AI agent caller space.

I also snagged a fun domain and built out a single page after hearing the idea on the āMy First Millionā Podcast.
And thatāsā¦
Itās a joke, but the funny thing is that a huge business could be built with this.
Weāll see what happens.
Ok, 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 Iāve got to develop a system so that I can turn it over to someone (or a tool).
Iām 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.
Ok, I want yāall to meet someone.
Chris is my mother from another mother, he's just a bit ahead of me in business successes.
He's started tons of projects (I have too). He went to the University of Alabama (I live in Alabama). He's donated a kidney (I hope to).
And he's a freaking beast in the business game.
Check out his newsletter here - if you like mine, I know youāll like his!
Ok, I fooled my wife with my AI voice.
I just wanted to share š¤£š¤£
Just a note: this is the worst AI will ever beā¦
Amazon Influencer Program [Update]
I havenāt made any videos in the last month or so.
I have 120 127 videos.
(plus 75 videos from other creators..)
My total earnings equal $3,587.35 $3,775.12
After expenses, Iām making $65.23 $82.55 per hour.
ā
I created a digital download that includes the best tips Iāve gathered from the Amazon Influencer Program.
ā
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. Iāve come a long way from $2.81 per hour!)
Not a ton to update here ā just cruising alongā¦
Iāve created a nice workflow with my team to get out a weekly newsletter for this.
And I set up a domain for it ā HustleRemote.com
My team is handling the writing for this.
I just have to review and publish.
It takes me about 30 minutes each week ā- hopefully it will break even within the year.
I also set up a welcome email for new subscribers, which it didnāt have before. In that email, we have recommendations, which weāll get paid for when people sign up.
If youāre 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 Iāll update over time (or provide future updates) includeā¦
Real Estate Deals
My Daily Planner (in processā¦)
See more current, past, and dead projects here.
Also, if you dig my newsletter, here are some others you may want to check outā¦
Until next time!
