How do you market you company?

Anyone selling on Amazon?

I have been interested in this as well but don't know how to go about it.

Contributes majorly to my savings. It’s about 30% of my total income.

$50-100 per job. Not very frequently. Less that $300 this year. I keep track so I can pay taxes to stay away from IRS audit fears.

You don’t need to report $300 unless you got a 1099

Just crossed the 1k mark was previously at like $4/mo so it’s a big jump.

39% of it is affiliate income
11% is from blogging
50% of is one contract job.

50% of my income so far is passive

I make an extra $600-$1000 a month. Its not a TON. But it certainly helps. Especially with gas prices like they are.

What do you do?

New to US. Which brokers offer best margin accounts? For e.g. I have equities worth $100K and want to trade options. Is there a broker where I can do so without paying more in collateral money - essentially using stocks as collateral, and also not paying margin interest. Was able to do so in London, Hong Kong, and India. However, Robinhood here doesn’t seem to allow it.

My company blames my generation for not being able to hire everyday. “You guys don’t want to work” coming from some overweight, racist, old coaster. I’ve barely taken any days off this year and pick up “skeleton crew” days any chance I get. I was able to work out a deal with my company before I came because of prior experience luckily, but they offer a terrible base salary and sham of a commission structure to new hires + no remote. Then sit here and can’t figure out why…
