Record Breaking Month in October! All of My Income Sources Revealed
About this video
Sean reports he made 69790 dollars in October, for a total of 69790.28 dollars, and breaks down the streams while warning viewers not to confuse gross revenue with profit. He claims Kindle publishing brought in 15886.11 dollars, down from 20000 to 25000 dollars in the previous three months, with Kindle expenses over 5000 dollars that month. He reports affiliate marketing totaled 1149 dollars, mostly from YouTube coupon codes and recommendations, including 190 dollars from his Kindle email list. He counts a Roth IRA index fund gain of 132.26 dollars after maxing out the 6000 dollar annual contribution, 12 dollars in Acorns dividends, and about 110 dollars a month from a Discover high-interest savings account paying 1.8% APY. For real estate, he describes buying land for around 8000 dollars, building a tiny house for close to 20000 dollars with total costs near 40000 dollars for a profit of around 10000 dollars, plus 1500 dollars monthly from land sold on installment plans, and another undisclosed 1000 dollars. After about 35000 dollars in real estate expenses and 5000 dollars in Kindle expenses, he says profit was about 29500 dollars before taxes. Most of the video is a warning: 1 million dollars in sales is not 1 million dollars in profit, many gurus lie or recycle YouTube information into courses costing a couple thousand dollars and coaching costing tens of thousands, and viewers should demand current dashboard proof before buying.
Key takeaways
- Sean reports 69790.28 dollars in total October income, but only about 29500 dollars in profit before taxes after expenses
- He claims Kindle publishing was his largest disclosed stream at 15886.11 dollars, despite a drop from the prior months
- Start passive investing immediately with index funds in a Roth IRA, Acorns, and a high-interest savings account
- Gross sales are not net profit — ad spend, product costs, shipping, and taxes can reduce 1 million dollars in sales dramatically
- Demand updated proof of income claims before buying a course or coaching; lifestyle photos are not evidence
