Americans, our democracy is under threat.
Tumblr media
Do you reject fascism and oppose the Trump-Musk coup? Want to do something, but aren’t sure what you can do to make a difference? Keep reading for ways big and small you can fight back:
Attend a Protest New to protesting? Here’s a primer for first-time protesters and a schedule of upcoming national days of action:
Mar 1st and ongoing (Tesla Takedown) Website | Find an event
Mar 4th (50501: 50 protests, 50 states) Website | Find an event
Mar 7th (Stand up for Science) Website | Find an event
Mar 8th (Women’s March) Website | Find an event
Search for future protests at /r/ProtestFinderUSA and join the mailing list of grassroots organizations like Indivisible to be alerted to future actions.
Put Pressure on Congress Want your elected officials to stand up to Trump-Musk and push back against the unconstitutional executive orders, disastrous DOGE cuts, and illegal funding freezes? Already calling your Reps and Senators daily using 5calls.org?
Then it’s time to escalate to in-person action. Visit their websites, join their mailing lists, follow their socials, and call their offices to find out when the next local event will be and make your voice heard. 
Applying pressure to congress works, and we are already seeing the results of constituent push back. House Democrats recently voted as a unified block against the Trump-sponsored billionaire tax cuts, with members breaking maternity leave and leaving the hospital to fly back to Washington just to cast their votes. And on the Republican side, negative town hall blowback has the GOP running scared.
If your congressperson is hiding from you, stage a protest event and put their cowardice on blast. For more information on how to implement these tactics, see the Indivisible congressional recess toolkit.
If your congressperson is already fighting the good fight, then make sure to thank them and provide encouragement to continue opposing the budget cuts. Courage is contagious, and vocal public support will help spur congress to fight that much harder. 
And finally, regardless of where you live, you can sign up to phone bank and reach out to voters in red congressional districts.
Get Out the Vote Did you know there are Special Elections as soon as April 1st that could flip control of the House back to Democrats? We simply cannot wait for the 2026 midterms, we must take action now! You can help get out the vote for Gay Valimont (FL-1), Joshua Weil (FL-6), and Blake Gendebien (NY-21).
In addition, the Muskrat is spending millions to buy the Wisconsin Supreme Court. Phone bank or write letters to keep a MAGA extremist off the high court and protect Wisconsin elections from future gerrymandering.
Fight the Broligarchy If you own TSLA stock, or *gasp* an actual Tesla vehicle, drop it like a scorching case of herpes, then join the picket line at your nearest Tesla showroom. 
On socials, delete your Nazi-infested X and Meta (Facebook, IG, Threads) accounts and join the open source BlueSky. If you must remain on Meta, at minimum change your account settings so Fuckerberg can’t profit from your data. 
Stop using Google search/Chrome and install privacy-focused alternatives like DuckDuckGo or Firefox. As a bonus, in the DuckDuckGo browser you can permanently hide AI garbage from your search results.
Show your monetary support for companies that have renewed their commitment to DEI programs (like Costco and Apple) and boycott those who have not (like Target and Amazon). Also look up how other corporations score on the democracy scale and adjust your spending accordingly.
 And last, but not least, pledge to join the General Strike!
Stay Informed Corporate media has capitulated to Trump. From the cancellation of minority-hosted shows on MSNBC to the Bezos takeover of the Washington Post editorial pages, MSM cannot be relied upon to provide unbiased coverage of the Trump-Musk regime.
Support independent journalists and media and follow AltGov accounts on Bluesky to stay informed as to what is actually going on in Washington.
Get to Know your Community Authoritarians want you to feel helpless and isolated because they know we the people vastly outnumber them. Get to know your neighbors and join a group/team/club - anything that gets you interacting with your local community whether it is political or not. 
Under Trump-Musk, federal programs like SNAP, Medicaid, Medicare, and even Social Security are in danger.  We will need to increasingly rely on our own communities to have our backs. Visit mutualaidhub.org to locate resources and learn how to start your own network.
And finally, remember that resistance is a marathon, not a sprint. So be sure to stop doomscrolling and simply enjoy life as AOC reminds us:

#RAINBOWROAD for Rainbow Railroad Charity Drive Redux Pre-Orders are open!
I am so excited to announce that I am taking preorders for copies of the entire #RAINBOWROAD trilogy starting today! Preorders will be open starting today, February 14th (happy Valentine's!) to March 13th. It will close at 11:59 MST.
Please reblog so we can spread the news!!!!
>>PRE-ORDER HERE<<
Tumblr media
This past summer, I did a print run of the first part of the series, Sit Tight, Take Hold and printed 94 copies for charity. Many readers asked for books 2 & 3, and I had many others express interest in a 3-part bundle who missed the first run. I've spent November, December, and January prepping the next parts for print, and I'm so excited to share them with you.
So, what is included?
Option for a 3-book bundle including:
Book 1: Sit Tight Take Hold 424 pages on matte 80lb text paper, color printing throughout. Cover has matte lamination in color. Dimensions of the book are 6x9x.93. Weight ~2 lbs Art by Blairamok (See cover art above)
Book 2: How do you solve a problem like Ezira?, Accept a Little Spin, and Oh, there's a long way to go 408 pages on matte 80lb text paper, color printing throughout. Cover has matte lamination in color. Dimensions of the book are 6x9x.93. Weight ~2 lbs Art by DustandHalos (cover art below)
Book 3: Fools Rush In and bonus content, 0-60 in 3.5 468 pages on matte 80lb text paper, color printing throughout. Cover has matte lamination in color. Dimensions of the book are 6x9x1.06. Weight ~2lbs Art by Pyracantha (cover art below)

Limited option for Part 1 discounted damaged books (15 available). This does not include PDFs. These books have cosmetic damage to the covers from shipping. Damage does no affect the print quality of the text.

Tumblr media

Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Where are the proceeds going?
Tumblr media
Rainbow Railroad is a North American-based organization that works globally to ensure safety and asylum to LGBTQIA+ individuals. This is the same charity we donated to last time, and it was a resounding success. Last time, we were able to fundraise $1,600!
Continued FAQ below:
How much does shipping cost?
For US residents, bundles will cost a flat fee of $10. They will ship via media mail through USPS.
For anyone outside of the US, shipping has been estimated through the cheapest carrier, either USPS or UPS minus $10. Unfortunately, I cannot control the cost of shipping, and I know that it is extraordinarily high. The bundles will weigh anywhere between 4-6+ lbs, which is expensive to ship.
Wait, I'm from the US. Why am I paying more for Media Mail?
While Media Mail typically would cost $4-6, the increased price is to offset international orders, whose shipping will cost anywhere from $20-60 with the discount. I hope you understand. I want to make this as accessible as I can without personally eating any costs. I am not making any profit off of this project.
When do orders ship?
Once pre-orders close on 3/13, I will order the books. There is typically a 2-4 week turn around for them to be printed and delivered to me. I then have to package and ship everything from my house. I hope to have everything shipped 1 month after pre-orders close, but I am only human.
US mail should take 2-8 days. International orders can take anywhere from 2-4 weeks, so please be patient.
If you are only ordering a damaged copy or postcards, both of which have already been printed, I will ship those out sooner.
When do I get my PDFs?
The PDFs and book proofs are the same, and they are 90% done. PDFs will be delivered via email by me once pre-orders close. I am still doing small changes and edits to make sure they are perfect!
If I order a bundle, do I also need to order PDFs if I want digital copies?
NO! PDFs are included with the bundles and only the bundles. You will not have access to them immediately, only once pre-orders close and I email them to you! Like I said, they are 90% finished, and I am stilling making small adjustments. (Kerning, I loathe you!)
What percent of proceeds are going to Rainbow Railroad?
100%! This excludes the cost of printing and shipping. For reference, the first print run cost $1,254 for the books alone, not including shipping and packaging supplies. Anything remaining goes directly to charity. I am not keeping any costs for labor or making any profit on this.
Wait, there's bonus content?
Remember when I said I was done after the trilogy? Well, @tut557 popped into the Discord server and said, 'Hey, what if they played Mario Kart...' This spiraled into a long conversation about all the different media promos they might do, and then I spent this past November writing another 50k of the #RAINBOWROAD universe for NaNoWriMo. This is also available on AO3, and I will be posting weekly while preorders are open. You can find it here.

It was 2019 when Google+ still was a thing and I had just published my first RPG PDF on DTRPG a year earlier.
Unsure of myself I used PWYW. I made a postmortem about my sales showing how much it was not worth it to do it that way. And none other then Kevin Crawford showed up in the comments to share his wisdom with everyone. I copied it and put it into my "RPG Work" folder and had forgotten about it shamefully. Just found it again today and figure it is still worth sharing.
Tumblr media
The numbers are likely off these days, but coming from Kevin Crawford this is advise anyone wanting to make a living from TTRPGs should consider. I know I aim to do exactly as he suggest for my first bigger release.
Kevin Crawford: "PWYW is not generally a good idea for most publishers, from what I’ve seen. It has very limited profitability and it seriously decreases downloads because people just don’t want to get involved in the tacit social obligation to judge the product and pay for it if they like it.
In your shoes I would suggest aiming for 32 page products, even if they’re in digest format. At 32+ pages, you can justifiably do a print version, where even at cheap 9.99 print prices you’re going to be getting good profits. A 32 page standard-color small-format product at $9.99 will net you a bit north of $4 for each sale.
Make a few freebie PDF/pay POD products to fatten up your mailing list and cycle it with each new product, mailing your old buyers and pointing to the new release. You could also optionally add a couple pages of bonus content to the POD to give a further prompt to buyers. Eventually, you can start offering for-pay PDFs, but when you do so, I’d recommend a floor price of $4.99. Below that level, buyers tend to unconsciously associate it with shovelware titles or stuff even the author doesn’t think is worth anything.
Getting POD down right does take some practice, and it is a bit more complicated than just doing PDF, but it’s too much of a profit source to neglect on any 32+ page product. I tend to sell about 3:1 PDF:POD ratio, but on a standard 9.99 PDF/19.99 POD softcover supplement I make about 50% more selling paper than I would selling PDF. And as a side note, always make sure to release PDF and POD at the same time; if you stagger the releases, you get the initial wave coming to look at the PDF, but they decide to hold off until the POD is available… and then they never come back. Most publishers have exactly one shot at the front page and can’t afford to waste it."

5, 22, 44 :>
5. have you ever made a playlist about something you were writing as an elaborate means to procrastinate when you could have been actually writing and if yes drop a link, son YES! I have a 150+ track TRFSB-inspired playlist that I’ve been meaning to compile and share. I’ll try to do that this weekend if my schedule allows. It’s so great for daydreaming. :^)
22. describe your writing process from scratch to finish. Step 1 - daydream about the big, high-stakes moments Step 2 - jot down beats for the scenes that I’m daydreaming about (usually dialogue, or specific body language, just to get it on paper and capture the essence of what I want to evoke) Step 3 - agonize for months trying to make an entire story around the big, high-stakes moments in order to justify it being both Big and High-Stakes Step 4 - finally make a five-page outline too late into the process that I will inevitably tweak even though it’s supposed to be a source of truth Step 5 - cry, probably Step 6 - miss deadlines (very important to the process, you see) Step 7 - finally sit down and try to write the damn thing, headphones on, for a few hours Step 8 - think it’s absolute garbage, put it away for a few days b/c I can’t bear to look at it, truly feel like I’m in over my head and I’ve written myself into a corner and I cannot think of how to get over the hurdle Step 9 - come back to it begrudgingly because it needs to get done, only to realize it’s not that bad, and I choose to build off of it instead of re-writing from the beginning Step 10 - “finish” writing the chapter, but hold on publishing - I always go back to it the next day for final adjustments and fresh eyes Step 11 - read the finalized chapter aloud to my incredibly patient and wonderful partner Step 12 - they poke holes through my plot inconsistencies or areas that need clarification Step 13 - I spend the rest of the day trying to meet their feedback halfway because at this point I just want the chapter to be done so I can move onto the next Step 14 - more often than not, I just say “oh well, it’s good enough” and/or “they can’t all be ground-breaking” and publish anyway Step 15 - after publishing, refresh my AO3 and Tumblr like a madman in bated anticipation for my wonderful regulars to see the chapter and hope with all my heart that it’s been worth the wait
Alternatively: Step 1 - think about the blorbo in situations Step 2 - ??? Step 3 - profit
44. any writing advice you want to share? I’ll offer some advice that I don’t often follow, lol: allow yourself to read/consume/watch/listen to other content that’s outside of your project. Bonus points if it can be loosely related to your project. It’ll inspire you and challenge you to use new language, new approaches, new ideas. I don’t follow this advice as much as I should. (I can’t remember the last time I read a physical book… and I wouldn’t say the Worlds of Power Simon’s Quest book counts…)
But discovering the Jekyll and Hyde musical recently awakened some fierce inspiration in me. (Thanks again, Maria!)

Random stuff from Guardian Angel AU.
Angst bitch.
1: Nasty rumors Susan spread about Adam got to a point that one of his neighbors spitted on his face and called him a man crack whore when she saw him outside and near her kids. She also said she’ll call the police if she saw Adam near her kids again.
That was the final step into making Adam a full hermit.
2: Every parent tells their kid to stay away from “The weird man in 1A”, some even take it to a step further with saying he could hurt them. So, Adam is seen as a creepy criminal among kids. They run away from him if they ever see Adam at the halls.
3: Lucifer isn’t the only person who brought him food in Adam’s life. A nice lady named Rosie used to put food on his doorstep once every month when she noticed he barely got out and how terrible he looked. She worked with children, so she didn’t wanted to be seen with Adam much, but she also began visiting Adam once every six months, they had tea together and Adam felt like he saw a tiny light in his endless darkness.
But this only went on for two years. Rosie died because of a heart attack four years ago. She was the last person who lived in Lucifer’s apartment.
3: Charlie saved Angel and Vaggie. Angel from his addictions and Vaggie from self harm and suicide. I guess it’s in Morningstar’s genes to fall in love with a soul they saved :>
4: Adam played a song for Lucifer when he was still on Earth, which he gladly listened. It was the first time Adam had played his guitar for a long time.
And when Lucifer was forced to leave him, he played, sometimes even sang, the same song almost every night for two years. Because he missed him and it made him think of him.
Lucifer’s heart exploded while he was watching Adam do this from Heaven. He began listening it every night to sleep as well.
Hehe
Dude whhhhy 😭
Yeah getting spit in the face is not only fucking gross but an understandable reason for Adam to stay away. He ended up telling Lucifer about it but wouldn't tell him who.
And that would hurt especially with how the situation with his own kids went.
Awwww Rosie and Adam being friends I'm so soft for their friendship. Shame she died. That only served to isolate Adam more. Everyone leaves why bother making friends? No one likes me anyway so that was made easy.
I WAS GOING TO SEND AN ASK ABOUT ADAM WRITING LUCIFER A SONG!!!!
Yeah, the Morningstars definitely have a type as well ;)
Ahhh sweet angst.
What if Lucifer had to look up his onlyfans page? You know, to see what he was working with and how deep Adam is in this world. He sees all the photos and videos. Spoiler he's in deep.
Adam has thousands of subscribers. And hundreds of posts. It's surprising he would do this line of work because of his past. But maybe, it was Velvette who told him "You're gorgeous, why not make a profit off your looks? Here I have a website you can use."
Adam tries it and when he sees how many people want him and shower him in praise and compliment him and tell him how wonderful he is.
Just another addiction on the pile. Only this one makes money and he hates himself afterwards.
Bonus points if someone in the building is subscribed and wanted more face to face time. Even if it doesn't go THAT far they make sexual comments at him any time they see him. (A man most likely)
And that was another thing to keep Adam in his house. The money is great but he hates that it comes from this and it's a never ending cycle.

UPDATE (read bonus update at the bottom 😋):
i've seen a lot of people planning on participating on this and i've been debating on it bc yk, its my first time but within the past 24/48 hrs my blood is boiling so, lets get the party started.
give me a one shot prompt (if you need an idea of how i typically write, look at my ao3 page Julius_Caesar) somewhere that falls in the T range and i got you the more the better, so i can pick something that maybe i can write and get back to you bc i am in college rn
let the bidding begin and as i try to navigate this, the plan is for profits to go to gaza. if i'm not capable to do this with my own money, let me at least do this through my hobby.
love you guys <3
Julius_Caesar
UPDATE:
Never catch me going back on my word
HAHA FIGHT FOR ME BITCHES (praiseworthy)
With extra love to everyone who is able to spread the word (totally understandable if you can't donate in this economy, and also there are some other good picks out there so I get it)

FBA Academy Review
What is the FBA Academy?
The FBA Academy is David Zalenski’s Amazon private label training course and a part of EcomHub. The best feature of this FBA course is product validation. David’s team will look into your product idea and let you know if it’s the right path to take. This is incredibly valuable, especially for a beginner. You will also learn EcomHub’s trademarked Rank and Bank system, which teaches you how to launch a product and rank it to the front page of Amazon.
The training includes 7 hours of videos spread across 20 modules. Purchase of the course gets you lifetime access. Bonus materials include spreadsheets, templates, and David’s copyrighted strategy for creating paid traffic- the PPC Spyder Launch. You’ll also get 3 live coaching calls per week with the team/David, and access to a private Facebook group for the rest of your life.
Who is David Zaleski, Creator of FBA Academy?
David Zaleski is a 7-figure ecommerce seller who built a $5 million Amazon business in 5 years with only $4800 of Amazon start-up costs .
David started selling products online just before high school when he was 14. He flipped Alibaba products on eBay. 4 years later, at 18, he started his first Amazon business. Within 6 years, David grew that business to $9 million in sales.
Besides selling on Amazon, David had a podcast and YouTube channel. He has not updated either of these outlets lately. Currently, he is developing EcomHub into an Amazon “studio” where any level of Amazon seller can come for specific services. He also closely runs his Amazon automation agency, the FBA Academy Done-For-You program, closely with this private label course.
The FBA Academy Business Model: What is Amazon Private Label?
Amazon private label involves ordering a generic, brandless product and putting your own logo on it. You may add other variations to stand out from competitors, like upgrades, color options, or bundled products. Then, Amazon handles the shipping and handling and takes a cut off your profits. Therefore, it is one of the most expensive Amazon FBA business models to start. Besides FBA fees, you will also have to pay for brand and logo design, sourcing products, testing products, and running Amazon PPC campaigns to drive traffic.
But, private label also has higher profit margins- often up to 40%. Other business models, like Amazon dropshipping , have much smaller margins around 10-30%.
If you decide to follow an Amazon FBA private label business model, plan to spend $15K-$20K in startup costs alone, besides any course you decide to take.
What is the Difference Between Amazon FBA and Amazon Dropshipping?
With Amazon FBA private label, you sell your own products. But, Amazon dropshipping involves selling other brands’ products in your store. It’s also FBM (Fulfilled by Merchant). This means your supplier ships the product directly to the customer instead of an Amazon warehouse. You can also dropship off of Amazon, using other platforms like Shopify and/or eBay. Amazon dropshipping has the lowest of all Amazon business model profit margins- between 10-30%, while private label earns around 40%.
When Does the FBA Academy Start and Finish?
The FBA Academy is self-paced and starts at the time of your purchase. You have lifetime access to all its features, including weekly coach support calls, and can revisit course content.
What Modules are in the FBA Academy Program?
1: Welcome This first module is purely introductory. Learn about FBA, upcoming course content, and general tips to set the scene. You will also set up your Amazon Seller Central account.
2: Search For Your Product Module 2 talks about not only finding a product but also choosing a niche, branding your company, and marketing it to stand apart from competitors. David will also cover Amazon FBA fees, which may make you change your mind about this online business entirely.
3: Source David teaches you multiple strategies to implement when finding suppliers. He will also give valuable tips for communicating with suppliers from other countries, specifically China. Finally, learn about product codes and how to manage them efficiently for your store.
4: Launching Your Product This module covers product launch and specific strategies to optimize your product listing, like organic keyword research and customer coupons.
5: Rank and Bank (Trademarked Strategy) Here, you’ll hear an overview of how David promotes products while using Amazon as a search engine rather than an online store. If you can organically rank your products, you’ll save on Amazon advertising costs.
6: Listing Your Product Along the Rank and Bank system, there are many strategies to implement to bring your listing to the top of Amazon (and win the Amazon Buy Box). This module will help you with product pricing, professional product photography, and more.
7: Setting up Rank and Bank This module includes information on how to connect a product Facebook page (fanpage) with Manychat. David uses this strategy to bring in more customers and provide exemplary customer service.
8: More Information on Manychat This module explains how to connect with customers and how to continue the flow to a purchase.
9, 10, 11: Rank and Bank Info It’s great to see that David covers Rank and Bank in multiple modules, so that you can get the full picture. Since it’s trademarked, you won’t find this exact information anywhere else.
12: Facebook Ads Rather than generating a Facebook ad for your Amazon page, these ads will help you get customers to your Facebook page, and then onto your Manychat.
13 & 14: FAQ Here, you’ll get the answers to some frequently asked questions and receive bonus materials. FAQs include questions for international sellers.
15: Scaling Your Business After seeing success on your Amazon store, take your business further with this module. Topics include troubleshooting stock issues, reporting listing hijackers, sales tax, and trademarks.
16: FeedbackWhiz Learn how to use FeedbackWhiz and generate emails that convert.
17: More Bonus Materials & Information This section includes information on affiliate marketing ideas, finding Fiverr freelancers for reviews, using Craigslist to promote sales, and more.
18: PPC Spyder Unlock your Amazon PPC potential with David’s copyrighted Spyder campaign strategy.
19: Resource PDF This master list of resources will help you continue to build and scale.
20: Coaching Calls David’s coaching team downloads weekly coaching calls. They’re updated each week, and you can go back and watch them in this module.
Summary
Its’ essential to find valid reviews of a course away from its salespage. There are not many reviews of this FBA course online outside of David’s website. There are a number of professionally handled complaints listed on the BBB website, which look impressive at first. However, after reviewing the messages, they may not be real. Each complaint uses very similar wording, which makes me wonder where they came from.
Is FBA Academy a Scam?
No, David Zaleski’s FBA Academy is not a scam. You will learn his unique system for ranking your private label product, and have the peace of mind of product validation.
Some people believe that expensive courses (and coaches) are scams just because of their higher ticket price. They say that you can find the same information for free on YouTube. While you can find great information there, without a course, you will miss out on some amazing benefits. For instance, paid courses include extra services, ongoing coaching, active communities of like-minded people, and more. Plus, you will learn from the mistakes others have made, and be able to work through a structured course rather than sift through a disorganized heap of YouTube videos.

Passive Income Streams for Traders.
Passive Income Streams for Traders: A Complete Guide
Introduction
Trading is often seen as a high-risk, high-reward venture that requires time, focus, and emotional discipline. But what happens when you’re not actively trading? Is it possible to generate income on autopilot? The answer is yes—and it comes in the form of passive income.
For traders, passive income isn't just a bonus—it's a financial lifeline that helps smooth out inconsistent earnings, manage risk, and build long-term wealth. In this guide, we'll explore passive income streams specifically tailored for traders, from digital products and affiliate marketing to automation and fund management.
Tumblr media
1. What is Passive Income in Trading?
Passive income refers to money earned with minimal effort or active involvement once the initial work has been done. In the context of trading, passive income doesn't necessarily mean "no work," but rather income that doesn’t require constant chart-watching or manual order execution.
While traders typically rely on active income—profits from trades—building parallel passive income streams allows them to:
Diversify income sources
Reduce emotional stress during drawdowns
Scale their expertise
Build a brand and legacy
2. Top Passive Income Streams for Traders
1. Selling Online Courses
Creating a trading course is one of the most profitable passive income avenues for experienced traders. If you have a solid strategy, technical knowledge, or experience managing capital, you can monetize your expertise by:
Recording video lessons
Creating downloadable resources (PDFs, spreadsheets)
Offering structured learning modules
Platforms to use:
Udemy
Teachable
Thinkific
Kajabi
Estimated Monthly Income:
Beginner educators: $200–$1,000/month
Top-tier traders: $10,000–$50,000+/month
Tips:
Offer a free mini-course to build trust
Use testimonials and verified results
Create a high-converting landing page
2. YouTube and Content Creation
YouTube is a long-term goldmine for traders willing to create valuable, engaging content. Once you build a subscriber base and consistent traffic, your videos can generate passive income through:
AdSense revenue
Affiliate links
Sponsored content
Course promotions
Types of content that work:
Strategy breakdowns
Live trade reviews
Trading psychology lessons
Broker/platform tutorials
Estimated Monthly Income:
Small channel (5k–10k subs): $100–$500/month
Medium (10k–50k): $500–$3,000/month
Large (100k+): $5,000–$20,000+/month
Bonus Tip: Combine with blogging or a newsletter to build an email list.
Buy Sell Double Arrow Target Indicator
3. Affiliate Marketing for Brokers and Tools
Affiliate marketing is a powerful passive income stream that involves recommending tools, platforms, or brokers and earning a commission for each referral.
Popular affiliate programs:
Forex.com
IC Markets
TradingView
FTMO (prop firm)
Bookmap, MetaTrader add-ons, etc.
Types of Commissions:
CPA (Cost Per Acquisition): One-time payout (e.g., $200–$500)
Rev-share: Ongoing revenue from client’s trading volume
Hybrid: A mix of both
How to Maximize:
Add affiliate links to blog posts, YouTube videos, or emails
Create product comparison reviews
Offer bonuses for sign-ups (e.g., free templates or tools)
Estimated Monthly Income:
$500–$50,000+, depending on traffic and niche
4. Automated Trading Bots (Expert Advisors)
For algorithmic traders or programmers, building or purchasing automated trading bots (known as Expert Advisors in MetaTrader) can help generate hands-free profits.
Once configured, these bots execute trades based on pre-defined strategies 24/7.
Ways to monetize bots:
Run bots on your own capital
Sell bots to other traders
License bots through platforms (e.g., MQL5 Market)
Key platforms:
MetaTrader 4/5
cTrader
TradingView Pine Scripts
NinjaTrader
Estimated Monthly Income:
Self-trading bots: $500–$10,000/month (depends on risk and capital)
Selling bots: $1,000–$50,000+/month
Caution: Always backtest thoroughly and offer disclaimers when selling bots.
5. Signal Services and Trade Copying
Signal services offer a way to share your trades with a subscriber base and get paid per subscription or profit-sharing.
Models:
Monthly subscription (e.g., $30–$100/month)
Copy trading platforms with performance fees (e.g., MyFxBook AutoTrade, ZuluTrade, Darwinex)
Best for:
Experienced traders with consistent performance
Traders with social media presence
Those who can communicate risk clearly
Estimated Monthly Income:
$300–$10,000+ depending on the number of subscribers and your performance
Warning: Legal disclaimers are important. Always follow financial compliance rules in your region.
6. Managing Client Funds (PAMM/MAM Accounts)
If you have proven profitability and trust from investors, managing others’ money through PAMM (Percent Allocation Management Module) or MAM (Multi-Account Management) accounts is a powerful income stream.
You typically earn:
Management fees
Performance fees (20–30%)
Profit splits or incentives
Platforms that support fund management:
MetaTrader 4/5 (with broker plugins)
cTrader Copy
FXOpen PAMM
Pepperstone MAM accounts
Estimated Monthly Income:
$2,000–$50,000+ depending on AUM (Assets Under Management)

7. E-Books and Trading Guides
Traders can write and publish e-books to earn passive income. These could be:
Strategy books
Mindset and psychology guides
Journals and trade planners
Platforms:
Amazon Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP)
Gumroad
Payhip
Price Range:
$5–$50 per book
Estimated Monthly Income:
$100–$5,000+ depending on marketing

Course and product promotion
A well-optimized trading blog with SEO can bring in consistent traffic and sales.
Content Ideas:
Broker reviews
Strategy breakdowns
Economic event recaps
Beginner guides
Estimated Monthly Income:
$200–$20,000+ depending on niche and traffic
10. Building and Selling Trading Apps
If you’re a trader with coding skills (or know a developer), you can create apps like:
Trade journals
Position sizing calculators
Backtesting tools
Market scanners
Monetization:
App Store or Play Store
Web-based SaaS model
Subscription licensing
Estimated Monthly Income:
$1,000–$30,000+
3. Combining Multiple Streams
The best part? These passive income streams are stackable.
For example, a trader could:
Create YouTube videos with affiliate links
Promote a paid course
Include free signals with subscription upsells
Offer a custom indicator on TradingView
This creates a flywheel effect, where one income stream fuels another, increasing exposure and credibility over time.
4. Benefits of Passive Income for Traders
Income diversification: Reduces reliance on volatile trading profits.
Scalability: No upper limit—your income grows as your audience grows.
Freedom: Allows you to take breaks or weather drawdowns without financial stress.
Branding: Positions you as an expert and opens consulting or partnership opportunities.
5. Challenges to Be Aware Of
Initial effort is high: Course creation, content building, and tool development require upfront work.
Consistency matters: Poor-quality content or tools won’t generate income.
Compliance: If offering trading advice or fund management, ensure proper licenses and legal structures.
Saturation: The trading niche is competitive—unique value is key.
6. How to Start Building Passive Income Today
Step 1: Identify Your Strengths
Are you a coder, teacher, or marketer? Focus on the streams that match your skills.
Step 2: Build One Stream First
Don’t overwhelm yourself. Begin with a YouTube channel or affiliate blog.
Step 3: Create Value, Not Hype
The trading world is full of overhyped scams. Build real value with transparency.
Step 4: Promote Strategically
Use SEO, email marketing, Reddit, and YouTube to bring traffic to your products or services.
Step 5: Reinvest Profits
Use early earnings to buy better tools, hire editors or writers, or scale your ad spend.
Conclusion
Passive income is not just a dream for traders—it’s a powerful, achievable strategy to create consistent, scalable, and stress-free revenue. Whether you’re just starting out or already a full-time trader, building these income streams can offer stability, diversification, and financial independence.

💡 How to Fund Your Business Without a Loan: Top Alternative Funding Sources in 2025
You’ve got a business idea or growth plan—but no desire to take on traditional debt. The good news? You’re not alone. More entrepreneurs are exploring how to fund their business without a loan using alternative funding sources that provide flexibility without the burden of monthly repayments.
Tumblr media
🔍 Why Look for Business Funding Without a Loan?
Loans come with strict requirements, interest payments, and pressure to repay—regardless of how your business is performing. Alternative funding gives you options that can be:
More flexible
Less risky
Easier to access
Better aligned with your long-term goals
Google Keyword Used: how to raise capital without borrowing
✅ 10 Best Ways to Fund Your Business Without a Loan
1. Grants for Small Businesses
Grants are essentially free money—no repayment required. Offered by governments, corporations, and nonprofits, they can be highly competitive but worth the effort.
Look into: SBA, state-level grants, private organizations, and women/minority-owned business funds
Search Term: grants for small business 2025
2. Crowdfunding Platforms
Websites like Kickstarter, Indiegogo, and GoFundMe let you raise money by promoting your product or mission to the public. It’s perfect for product-based startups and creative projects.
Offer rewards, early access, or shoutouts in exchange for contributions
Google Keyword: crowdfunding for startups
3. Equity Financing (Angel Investors or Venture Capital)
Rather than borrowing money, equity financing lets you trade ownership for capital. This is ideal for high-growth startups with potential to scale quickly.
Angel investors fund early-stage companies
Venture capitalists invest larger sums in return for equity
Keyword Phrase: equity funding for small businesses
4. Revenue-Based Financing
This model gives you capital upfront in exchange for a percentage of future sales. No interest or fixed payments—just a flexible cut of your revenue.
Ideal for eCommerce, SaaS, or subscription-based businesses
Search Intent: business funding without traditional loans
5. Partner or Co-Founder Contributions
Bring on a strategic partner or co-founder who can contribute capital in exchange for equity or a stake in the business.
Ensure a clear written agreement to avoid future conflict
6. Trade Credit from Suppliers
Instead of upfront payments, ask vendors or suppliers for net-30 or net-60 terms. This allows you to delay payment while generating income.
Google Keyword: alternative ways to finance a business
7. Business Competitions and Pitch Contests
Many cities, universities, and tech incubators offer cash prizes for top business ideas. These competitions also offer networking, PR, and investor exposure.
Examples: Shark Tank-style events, SBA pitch competitions, local chamber of commerce grants
8. Use Personal Assets Strategically
Without taking out a loan, you can self-fund through:
Savings
Retirement accounts (via ROBS – Rollover for Business Startups)
Selling unused assets
Use this with caution and proper planning.
9. Affiliate or Strategic Partnerships
Some companies are willing to fund or provide services in exchange for exclusive distribution rights, joint marketing campaigns, or a percentage of future profits.
🔟 Presales and Pre-Orders
If you're launching a product, sell it before it’s ready. This strategy provides upfront capital, validates your idea, and builds buzz—all without borrowing.
Use landing pages, email campaigns, and influencers to drive interest.

🧠 Bonus Tip: Combine Multiple Funding Sources
There’s no rule that says you need just one funding source. Many successful businesses use a combination of:
Grants
Crowdfunding
Revenue-based financing
Strategic partnerships
This layered approach increases your funding potential without putting all your eggs in one basket.
📉 When to Avoid Loans Completely
Your business has unpredictable cash flow

You seem like a good authority on the subject, so: what would your rec(s) be for a first tingler for someone looking to get in to Dr. Chuck’s work?
I would not call myself an authority since I stopped reading for fun in general sometime in 2018-2019 and am only getting back to it now, so I missed a lot of good stuff like the beginning of lesbian, bi and trans tinglers, and the classic literature tinglers I'm really looking forward to getting into. My knowledge is firmly in the early tinglers, BUT(T), here goes:
Chuck Tingle has a patreon, that's currently the best value financially AND isn't supporting Amazon, which is a nice bonus.
The patreon unfortunately doesn't have many of the older tinglers I'm currently talking about, bundles are also decent value, there's a whole bunch on the page linked below that you can peruse to see which ones are on a subject you're interested in. The only ones I don't recommend for general readers are the "pounded by politics" series since many of them deal with very specific events that were topical at the time.
Giving specifics to a tumblr asker is a little hard because when I recommend to friends I usually take their preferences into account. Speaking only for myself, I'm very partial to meta and living object tinglers, "The Analboros" and "Handsome Sentient Food Pounds My Butt And Turns Me Gay" are the 2 anthologies that I personally love enough that I own physical copies of them. I also HIGHLY recommend you read "Anally Yours, The Unicorn Sailor" before The Analboros.
If you like genre parodies, you'll probably like the longer novels at the bottom of this page: https://www.chucktingle.com/ebook.html , also "Butt Wars: Rogue Buns" and "Gaygent Brontosaurus: The Butt Is Not Enough"
For more straightforward Romance stories, Unicorn Tinglers Volume 1 is a good place to start.
If you like the shock value of the covers and are looking for ones that make you go "what the fuck just happened there" then "Happy Birthday Frankenstein, Now Pound My Butt" (which is one of the few older ones on patreon!) and "Living Inside My Own Butt For Eight Years, Starting A Business And Turning A Profit Through Common Sense Reinvestment And Strategic Targeted Marketing" are great ones to start with.
Hope that's helpful and you have fun reading tinglers!

My simple 10-step drawing process:
1) sketch
2) ink
3) think “wow this looks cool!”
4) start coloring in marker
5) marker dies 1/4 through
6) panic and go over w/ colored pencil
7) it looks worse
8) tear out sketchbook page and try again
9) new drawing looks even worse
10) reluctantly tape old drawing back into sketchbook using fancy tape
Bonus 11) …profit?

I know you aren’t feeling your best right now, but something that helps me when I’m upset about something related to me is to think about something else that upsets me but that isn’t connected to me. Get all the pent-up unhappiness out in a way that doesn’t just cycle. So, what’s something that really pisses you off? Just grinds your gears to think about. Politics and societal issues don’t count for this because everyone gets upset by this, I want to learn about new infuriating things in this world.
1. Banana industry pisses me off so much. Turn into a huge monoculture to maximize profits at the cost of widespread ecological damage and also introducing a single point of failure -> fuck around phase ends as fungus comes about that threatens the entire banana industry due to it mostly being a monoculture outside a small number of smaller growers -> attempts to contain the fungus fail and the monoculture can’t be made resistant due to consisting of genetic clones -> find out and panic -> find new banana that is resistant to the fungus but doesn’t taste as good and shift to growing it -> turn that into an industry-wide monoculture -> banana flavoring and bananas don’t taste the same at all due to having to change banana types -> fuck around phase ends as new strain of fungus comes about that threatens the current monoculture -> find out and panic(we are here). Did you people learn NOTHING!!!!! HOW CAN YOU MAKE THE SAME MISTAKE MULTIPLE TIMES AFTER HOW BAD THE CONSEQUENCES WERE BEFORE????? I HATE CAPITALISM INCENTIVIZING UNSUSTAINABLE PROFIT MAXIMIZING OVER INTELLIGENT DECISIONS
2. People who hate insects/spiders/bugs in general and make it their life’s mission to tell as many people as possible, especially bug keepers/lovers, how much they despise them. Especially if they use their own fear as justification for telling pet owners they want their animals exterminated. Bonus points if they then act like people who are upset by this are being unreasonable. Bonus bonus points if they classify bugs as somehow not animals in order to justify needlessly harming them, wanting to needlessly harm them, or expecting others to needlessly harm them. I don’t like dogs very much but if I went on dog owners’ pages and so much as said “I don’t like dogs, they smell bad and a lot of them are poorly trained because owners assume everyone likes dogs, I don’t like being near dogs if I can avoid them” I’d have people calling for my account to be deleted and for my life to be ended in violent fashion. If you hate a creature so much, why are you seeking out people who like them just to be a dick? And if your response to having misinformation corrected, misconceptions addressed, or just in general being educated on the subject of things like spiders is to double down on your unfounded beliefs as if they’re fact, quite frankly it makes me want to attack you like a feral animal. Disliking or being afraid of an animal never justifies killing it if it doesn’t pose an active threat, and that applies even if you incorrectly believe it poses a threat when in reality it doesn’t.
