1: the 9-5
Like many people, I also have a 9-5 job (well, it’s technically an 8-4). And, like many people, it is my main source of income. I’ve been employed as a graphic designer for a couple years between different companies since I graduated from Carroll University with a marketing degree.
2: LE Designs
I started freelancing in college and started my official business of LE Designs LLC in December of 2018. My business has become a huge part of my life and is what I strive to build in my freetime as my main source of (somewhat) consistent income.
3: Redbubble
I started with RedBubble when I was in high-school after finding I had a knack for using photoshop and Illustrator. I came up with a few designs, and my best-seller by far has been a reference to the Sandlot, but also my nickname in school, “smalls”. You can see it here, if you’re curious.
4: Dropshipping
I didn’t want to separate this one into multiple parts, but I actually dropship through three different stores (my shop here on this site, Etsy, and The Minnesconsin Store). I got started with Printful after I had been on RedBubble
5: KDP
A great part of Amazon is KDP (Kindle Direct Publishing). KDP is Amazon’s print-on-demand service for books and e-books (which I’ve been writing since middle school). Although I did publish some fiction books from my younger years on Amazon, which are no longer available, I’ve lately been designing planners and journals and working on some novels in my free time that I hope to publish in 2022. I even designed my own hardcover wedding guest book alternative full of fun prompts for guests to fill out, and you can find it here.
6: Roth IRA
Thanks to my parents, my Roth IRA was one of my first streams of income.
