How To Make a $10,000 A Month Business In 30 Days...I have no idea...
Super Plumber Sisters Is On It's Final Week On Kickstarter!
Is it possible to make a $10,000 a month revenue business in 30 days? I have no idea, but I think it’s something that I am going to try in 2025, and I’m going to explain it to y’all here. Also. SUPER PLUMBER SISTERS #1-3 is on it’s final week on Kickstarter! Don’t miss out!
Okay, let’s do this!
Make a $10,000 Business In 30 Days?
For the last 72 hours, I have been in one place, and one place only…
My basement. Doing what? Packaging over 300 orders of comics. I am completely exhausted, tired, and am fueled by Diet Coke and hope.
I heard a saying once that went something like “to know what what you want to do with your life, you should do something that you don’t like, and whatever you end up thinking about while doing what you don’t like, is the thing that you should do with your life.”
Whoever said it probably said it 100 times better than what I just spewed out, but still…give me a break. I’m writing this at 1am, knowing that in 5 hours you’re going to get this newsletter in your inbox after getting a good nights rest.
Anyways.
While I was packaging all of these, I decided to let me thoughts run wild. Is it possible for ME to make $10k a month doing comics?
Probably not, especially not with Kickstarter. Don’t get me wrong, I do alright on Kickstarter and am very blessed. But really I only get to take home like 40-50% of the revenue if I’m lucky. In 2025, I’ll actually be able to take up to 70% of the revenue on most books so that will be exciting. But regardless. If I make $100k on Kickstarter in a year, that only leaves me normally with $30-40k. Not something I can live off of, but still definitely a lot as a side hustle. My online store makes around $200 a month, and right now I haven’t touched Amazon because I’m waiting to put my books into trades.
So. Where am I going to get this $10,000 from?
My day job pays very well right now. Extremely well. But right now I’m currently doing Inception in my brain and telling myself that I’m going to get fired next year. I don’t know why I am doing this to myself. Maybe it’s from the trauma of being laid off last year and being unemployed for 6 months. Regardless, this is the thought process that is consuming currently. I want a back up plan.
Last year I was lucky that my comics were able to feed my family and keep us afloat until I found a job.
I don’t want my comics to be my backup plan though. So. I need a new plan.
Once again…where am I going to get this $10,000 from?
And then it hit me.
“Tyler. You do marketing for the companies that you work for. Why don’t you do marketing and digital design for other businesses?”
And the crazy thing is this…the company that I work at…it’s a company that I run.
I run the business. I have employees and I tell them what to do, how to make it, what to sell, etc. And while they do all the digital marketing stuff under my direction, I don’t know why I think that everything that I do and bring needs to go into this company that is owned by someone else. Yes I have a % in it if it succeeds, but I could also be booted out at any moment.
So. That’s a goal that I’m adding to the list next year. Create my own digital marketing company that can bring in $10k a month in reoccurring revenue. And there’s so many options I can could choose from. I could sell websites and make money off of hosting and maintenance fees. I could go the SaaS route and create marketing automations that businesses can use for marketing to their customers. I could even run it myself. Lots of possibilities.
And I think a big reason why I want to do this, is to (1) do this for myself and my life, but also (2) showcase to others that I know and that follow me, that you can make a life for yourself if you work hard enough. Maybe I’ll even document my journey to $10k and show every step and failure. Heck! Maybe I’ll just straight up fail and it doesn’t happen! Who knows?
But at least I tried right?
Okay. It’s now 1:45am and I’m rambling and acting like this is actually possible for me to pull off…
It’s totally possible to pull off…
just gotta do what i gotta do.
Okay I’m tired and this email is turning into a mess
