WATCH MY STORIES for HUGE Money-Saving BOOKING TIPS/HELP!
⭐️Needing to Make Some Money From Home? Here’s the Black Friday Sale to help you!

For 12 months, I secretly tested selling books on Amazon to see if it really could bring in money. And it worked!!
 
I design them, create them, put on KDP and Amazon prints and ships them for me. I was worried the market was too saturated to actually get sales but I tested it out and it’s NOT! You just have to follow my Do’s & Don’t to get your book to actually sell.👊🏻
 
Since I figured it out and now know exactly what to do, I created a “How to Actually Sell” course, giving you step-by-step instructions to make money from home.
 
✨You can create so many different things too: notebooks, journals, planners, coloring books, activity books, log books, puzzle books, recipes books, etc!
 
Instead of wasting a ton of time trying to figure out how to do it yourself and making a ton of mistakes along the way, I’ve created my course telling you exactly what to do every step of the way: what formatting programs to use, what design program to use, what creation program to use, how to create your KDP selling account, how to list & sell your books on Amazon and all of my selling tips that will actually get your book to sell. And it’s PURE GOLD!
 
💥There are SO MANY COURSES out there that will tell you HOW to make your books. But no one can tell you exactly what to do to get SALES. And that’s the most important part, right? That’s why I created this course!
 
💥👉🏻So for Black Friday, instead of $397, get it for $84 with code MELEA.
💬Comment COURSE below and I’ll shoot the video FAQ link & deal link to you!
 
FYI: Within my “How to Actually Sell” Course, I will also tell you the 2 programs I recommend for formatting and step-by-step creation. Those will cost a total of $48 outside of my program. But will make life SO much easier & save you SO MUCH TIME. My portion of the course will give you all the tips no one knows when it comes to actually get your books to sell! And you DO NOT need a social media following to sell!👏🏻
✨Holiday Return Windows have started! So if you ✨Holiday Return Windows have started! So if you see a great deal, grab it! If an even better deal happens to pop up, you’ll still be able to return or exchange it before Christmas!👏🏻👏🏻

Every penny helps. Now that I’m not waiting for the Holiday Return Window, I can share all the great early deals I’m seeing Ive been seeing on my stories!👊🏻

These are the #1 best tank top option for the new garments IMO! Tons of colors, lots of sizes, stretchy and AFFORDABLE!🤩

I had a friend in Japan hook me up with 2 pairs of the tops back in April (a 2XS and a XS). So I’ve had a lot of time buying & testing tank tops and RETURNING LOTS of tank tops over the last 6 months. You’d be surprised how many tops don’t work with the new garment tops because the back cut is slightly too narrow.  But these DO work!🎉🙌🏻

    It's a toss up between the placemats and the butcher paper… but at the end of the day I would probably use the butcher paper a lot more! Love it!

    So I had a very disappointing day at Ikea (Utah location). Only one of the items you mentioned there was the actual price. The 5-pack white candle set is $9.99, the woven placemats are $3.99/each, and there was absolutely no brown butcher paper roll. I asked two employees (which are HARD to find there) and no one knew anything about it, which disappointed me most bc it's what I wanted. I did find the sparkling juices for $2.99. @Freebies2deals

      +Brittany W Oh Man Brittany! We checked all of the prices before we filmed the video, so we should have been spot on. I wonder if the prices changed? Maybe in the future, I could have IKEA put the items we feature all in one spot for people to easily find and grab?? Not sure if that is possible, but that would probably help people find everything and help keep prices consistent too!

      +Freebies2Deals Thank you for the responses! (Here and on IG) Even though it didn't all work out, I still appreciate the ideas and will try to still make it work. I am thinking the prices changed at some point, for some reason. That would be great if IKEA would let you do that!

WATCH MY STORIES for HUGE Money-Saving BOOKING TIPS/HELP!
⭐️Needing to Make Some Money From Home? Here’s the Black Friday Sale to help you!

For 12 months, I secretly tested selling books on Amazon to see if it really could bring in money. And it worked!!
 
I design them, create them, put on KDP and Amazon prints and ships them for me. I was worried the market was too saturated to actually get sales but I tested it out and it’s NOT! You just have to follow my Do’s & Don’t to get your book to actually sell.👊🏻
 
Since I figured it out and now know exactly what to do, I created a “How to Actually Sell” course, giving you step-by-step instructions to make money from home.
 
✨You can create so many different things too: notebooks, journals, planners, coloring books, activity books, log books, puzzle books, recipes books, etc!
 
Instead of wasting a ton of time trying to figure out how to do it yourself and making a ton of mistakes along the way, I’ve created my course telling you exactly what to do every step of the way: what formatting programs to use, what design program to use, what creation program to use, how to create your KDP selling account, how to list & sell your books on Amazon and all of my selling tips that will actually get your book to sell. And it’s PURE GOLD!
 
💥There are SO MANY COURSES out there that will tell you HOW to make your books. But no one can tell you exactly what to do to get SALES. And that’s the most important part, right? That’s why I created this course!
 
💥👉🏻So for Black Friday, instead of $397, get it for $84 with code MELEA.
💬Comment COURSE below and I’ll shoot the video FAQ link & deal link to you!
 
FYI: Within my “How to Actually Sell” Course, I will also tell you the 2 programs I recommend for formatting and step-by-step creation. Those will cost a total of $48 outside of my program. But will make life SO much easier & save you SO MUCH TIME. My portion of the course will give you all the tips no one knows when it comes to actually get your books to sell! And you DO NOT need a social media following to sell!👏🏻
✨Holiday Return Windows have started! So if you ✨Holiday Return Windows have started! So if you see a great deal, grab it! If an even better deal happens to pop up, you’ll still be able to return or exchange it before Christmas!👏🏻👏🏻

These are the #1 best tank top option for the new garments IMO! Tons of colors, lots of sizes, stretchy and AFFORDABLE!🤩

I had a friend in Japan hook me up with 2 pairs of the tops back in April (a 2XS and a XS). So I’ve had a lot of time buying & testing tank tops and RETURNING LOTS of tank tops over the last 6 months. You’d be surprised how many tops don’t work with the new garment tops because the back cut is slightly too narrow.  But these DO work!🎉🙌🏻

Let’s all just be happy about that and hand over the candy😉

🎃This year Halloween candy price points are $.30 per ounce or less! So get as close to that as you can with any last-minute finds!

👉🏻👉🏻SWIPE to see all of the Things to 👉🏻👉🏻SWIPE to see all of the Things to Know About Getting Passports & Renewing (tips for kids too!)

1- You MUST have a checkbook!🤯 They do not take digital payments right now or debit or credit card payments. You mail the check in with your application.

2- You need your ACTUAL Birth Certificate (or your kid’s). No copies allowed. You will mail it in. They will mail it back to you.

3- Your Passport technically expires for some countries 6 months before the expiration date listed! A lot of countries will NOT let you travel to their country if you are within the last 6 months of passport validity. So always renew before that 6 month window so you don’t run into any issues!

4- We had a bad experience one time NOT paying to expedite. It took MONTHS to get our passports. So we always pay to expedite now. Expediting is supposed to be 2-3 weeks from the time the passport office receives your passport. If they are backed up, it will take longer than that, even with being expedited.

5- For kids, BOTH PARENTS listed on the Birth Certificate have to go to the Passport Appointment and SIGN IN PERSON in front of them. (Or fill out a signed notarized waiver)

6- You will mail in your current passport. But they will mail it back to you, marked as invalid a few weeks after you get your new passport in the mail. So you can keep the old passport for memories.

7- EACH Passport gets mailed to your home individually, by itself. They will mail all documents you sent, like Birth Certificates, expired Passports, etc, back to you a few weeks later.  So don’t freak out if it isn’t all in the same envelope.

8- We used to do our own Passport Photos at Walgreens or whatever, but not anymore. We had too many issues with the quality of the pictures and had to re-pay to have them done at the Passport Office. So now we just let the Passport Office take the pictures there, so we don’t have our passports delayed due to a bad picture. (They can be really strict with smiles, if the eyes aren’t open enough)

⭐️Feel free to SAVE this video for the next time you are getting Passports so you don’t make a mistake! And if you learned anything new, ❤️HEART this post for me! 🫶🏻
