Fantastic list! Thanks for sharing. Much appreciated!

Thanks for introducing me to Benable. I'm a longtime affiliate marketer and hadn't heard of them.

I just took a quick look but wasn't actually able to find any of the info I look for when I decide whether to sign up for an affiliate network. Like, what is their cookie duration? What payment processor do they use to pay out affiliates? What's their payment threshold? How long before commissions lock?

Have you received a payout from them yet?

So, they have a bunch of companies they partner with and when you make a sale with them, it’s really called a cashback. You keep earning the cashback until you reach $80 then you can cash it out. That takes a while.

But, you can also use your Amazon affiliate ID and earn affiliate sales that way.

I have gotten Amazon sales. I haven’t been able to cash out through Benable yet. I think I’m about halfway there.

I signed up for Gumroad awhile back and am glad to know that it has been working for you to the point that you want to double and triple down on it. Thanks for the info.

Amazing, Christina. Gumroad has become one of my favourite, too. Well done on managing them all. Medium is still good even though it’s a bit crazy right now.

Probably smart to diversify! I would love to hear how you balance it all out and how you manage to do it all in your day?

Well, that’s an easy one. I don’t do it all in my day. Haha. I just work on whatever I feel like in the moment and rotate.

Congrats! It’s fantastic to have multiple income streams. While it can be challenging to keep track of them, especially when they arrive at different times, it’s a good problem to have! I allocate each income stream to a specific purpose, such as paying bills, savings, investments and of course, do as I please money! Have a wonderful day.

I like how you allocate each income stream to certain things. I think of doing that too, but my income is generally just for fun anyway.

That's brilliant, Christina!

I already use many of these channels and it's great to see how you are building an ecosystem.

In case you would like to become my affiliate on Gumroad, let me know, I just launched a new product last month (Personal Brand Studio).

Cheers!

Talking of not putting all your eggs in one basket!

This seems a wise strategy. How do you keep them all going without burning out?

Christina Piccoli's avatar

I only work on something when I feel like it, and I just don’t worry about everything that “needs” to be done. Nothing needs to be done. It’s all fun for me. :)

Haha! I only work on tis stuff maybe 4-5 hours a day. I don’t do everything at once. I work on whatever I feel like working on. :) Eventually, it all unravels the way it needs to!
