We've all come across those affiliate marketing moms on IG, boasting about making over $100K while working just 2 hours a day from their phones. Perhaps you've clicked on a liketoknowit link to snag the same shoes an influencer shared or bought a mini cold plunge after seeing an ad on your feed. Reviews are a must when making purchases, right?
One day I asked myself, is it really possible to generate income through affiliate marketing or drop shipping or writing reviews? What’s the business model? Is it easy to launch? Which model is the most profitable? Is it really only 2 hours a day? And all I need is my phone?
My curiosity got the best of me and I did some research. In 2024, the drop shipping market is projected to hit $301B, with affiliate marketing on the rise towards $15B. Online shopping is here to stay and these markets continue to trend towards a continued era of unprecedented growth.
That being said, I want to see if I can actually generate some additional income, or heck maybe even $100K, through these eCommerce markets. Throughout my journey, I'll share my experiences, methods, lessons learned, and all sorts of other tidbits here on the blog.
The first step was selecting the right niche which I hear is crucial for success. Experts suggest finding a balance between personal interests and market demand. Thus, Oh My Goodness That's Cute was created. My niche revolves around all things cute – from daisy mesh tops to mushroom cake stands and heart-patterned sweaters.
I hope you enjoy this cute eCommerce experiment. Let's see if I can work 2 hours/week from anywhere in the world using my phone. :)
