The Joker x Reader - “Ghost” Part 2

Bane’s wife is a mystery to everyone, including her husband. Ghost also happens to be The Joker’s little obsession, not that she ever pays attention to him. Maybe that’s why The King of Gotham should stop messing around: when you push too much, you might get more than you bargained for.

The Joker and his girlfriend left about 15 minutes ago; Kara was in a bad shape and you offered to drive her car back tomorrow. You have no idea how she made it to your house after the events at the club. You could tell J was fuming and for once he seemed to care about what happened to his woman: maybe it was a little wakeup call The King of Gotham needed. Hard to tell when it comes to these matters due to his spectacular personality.

One thing’s for sure though: after his arrival Kara couldn’t stop crying and Ghost knew why. The Joker’s girlfriend merely escaped assault and him giving a damn about the ordeal made her overemotional: it was the first time he showed some real interest outside the bedroom; he held her hand all the way to the car and didn’t even mind a kiss before she got in.

“You’re awfully quiet,” your husband points out. “You’ve been staring out the windows at the empty parking lot since they left. Everything alright?”

“Yeah, yeah…I’m fine,” you turn only to see him signal for you.

Bane is not stupid; he can tell you’re distracted and he can guess the reason. As soon as you straddle his lap he rests his forehead on yours, choosing to dig a bit dipper without sugar coating his objective.

“Are you thinking about that day?”

You take such a strenuous breath there’s no need for a verbal confirmation.

“Wanna talk about it?”

You are aware of the meaning: your spouse is not asking for details, he’s just bringing it up in case you want to share your feelings regarding Kara’s unfortunate experience.

You caress his bald head and sigh, prepared to describe the facts.

Bane never mentioned anything about the first time you’ve met simply because he always assumed he understood what he saw five years ago. The truth is he didn’t.

“When…when you found me…” you gulp and he distinguishes the struggle.

“Hey,” your husband whispers. “That’s not why I brought it up. You don’t have to re-live the past; I was trying to hint that if you want to discuss…”

He twists a strand of your white hair around his finger while you interrupt:

“When you found me behind the truck, that guy wasn’t trying to rape me; he was trying to kill me.”

Bane’s not wearing his mask and you can read the conflicting emotions written all over his face.

“Vee was my ex,” you continue and pause in order to gather your thoughts. “When I learned he was involved in human trafficking, I urged him to quit. The money was great and he refused so I planned to disappear and help some girls flee in the process. I was very careful yet he still perceived my intentions and when you bumped into us… he was trying to finish me so I won’t be any trouble for his boss and their line of business.”

“Shit…” HB mumbles, hating that his Ghost looks upset.

“I wasn’t defending myself from a rapist, I was fighting for my life. What do you think about that, hm?” you throw the question at him and his reply doesn’t fail:

“That whatever- his-name-was-your-ex had it coming. You can’t kill a Goddess! A man is lucky enough to encounter one and if he fucks up, then he signs up for the bitter consequences.”

A few moments of complete silence, then Bane hears his favorite words:

“I love you,” Y/N pecks the thin scars across his nose and decides to turn the gloomy night into a more accommodating situation. “We were having lots of fun when the unexpected guest barged in; we should stick to the original schedule and reprise our activity.”

“Agree,” Bane squeezes you in his strong arms tighter. “A tiny Ghost might be already in here,” he softly rubs your tummy.

“Or a handsome little brute,” you giggle and he has to underline:

“However, it doesn’t hurt to keep practicing.”

“U-hum,” you wink and he likes the smile forming on your lips, infinitely better than having his wife distressed about an incident that almost ended her existence.

*************

5 Years Ago

Bane was done loading the supplies he wanted in his truck, lingering at the spot chosen for that evening’s transaction. It was consistently a random place where everyone that wanted to buy or sell could get together and exchange merchandise; under the radar of course, since the negotiations were less than legal and the individuals present could have easily be enlisted on FBI’s most wanted list.

A lot of turmoil and movement at the campsite, but he still detected a woman’s scream; he carefully listened when it happened again. Bane circled his truck and walked between the vehicles stationed there until his heavy steps abruptly halted: there was a lady trying to get from under a limp body collapsed on top of hers, still holding the rock she used in order to defend herself.

You crawled from under Vee and froze when you noticed Bane glaring at you. Y/N recognized the masked man: he was starting to gain a certain reputation, not that it was his purpose; he only stuck to his agenda and didn’t give a damn about anything else.

Your future spouse believed that one of the imbeciles tried to sample the merchandise and got more than he could chew; he also knew they didn’t like the girls to rebel and the price paid if they did.

That feral look in your eyes reminded him of the same fire that fueled his veins every time he attempted to get out of the accursed Pit; made him take a decision he never regretted: instead of alerting the others and score a nice bonus for cooperation, Bane gave you a choice.

“If you want to survive, come with me.”

You hesitated: was he toying with you before sounding the alarm?! The pile of muscles indifferently distanced from the scene and you got on your feet, stumbling from the aftermath of almost being assassinated by your former boyfriend. Vee was out cold and you dropped the rock by his feet, not bothering to check if he was dead.

You followed Bane to his truck and he gestured for you to hop in the back; it was difficult to fit in between the boxes yet you managed anyway. He covered everything with the tarp and advised while sealing the way out:

“Stay put!”

It was a nerve wracking couple of hours: Bane drove away immediately and you had no clue about what will occur next. Where was he taking you anyway?

**********

He pried the door and Y/N strolled inside when she realized he was keeping it opened for her. “This is a gated, private property; we’re right outside Gotham, north of Willow Creek. You should lay low: by know they must have identified the guy and they might be searching for the responsible party.”

He was thinking you were “one of the girls” and you didn’t correct him.

“I had no clue I’ll find myself in this mess,” you skeptically brought it up. “I should go to my apartment and pack suitcases.”

“Bad idea,” the distorted voice huffed. “You should disappear, it’s safer. Those are not the type of people you want to cross!”

You nervously played with the hem of your torn dress and Bane added:

“There are clean clothes in the bedroom; you can use one of my t-shirts. I’ll bring some items your size tomorrow.”

“You’re not staying?!” you inquired, perplexed.

“Nope, I’m busy. Give yourself a tour; I’m positive you can cope with my absence.”

He saw the doubt and muttered:

“You’re not a prisoner; you can leave. Close the gates if you do. If I were you, I would linger on the premises.”

That’s all he said and left a very confused Y/N in the middle of the living room. You wished to ask why he was aiding a total stranger, but you figured it was dumb to do so: Bane seemed like the type of man that didn’t do things unless he felt like it. Period.

You curiously inspected the house, marveled that it was neat and organized: four bedrooms and two bathrooms upstairs, the spacious living room, another bathroom and the kitchen downstairs. The dust settled on the counters indicated the hideout wasn’t used very often; the decorations were minimal, mostly functional, basic furniture.

You were grateful when you opened the fridge and found some food that was still eatable: the precooked kind but you weren’t picky at that point. After warming up a container in the microwave, Y/N took a sit at the table; with the crazy events that spiraled out of control she didn’t have time to reflect about her current predicament.

It hit as you were munching on your ravioli: how the hell did you end up there?! A sudden, unbearable sense of isolation washed all over you, the numbness that protected you from the initial shock gradually dissipating in thin air.

You had no plan. None whatsoever.

Was it better to go with the flow until you could outline a strategy aimed to get you out of the deep whole you accidentally sunk in? Maybe…

So you did.

**************

Next morning, Bane popped at the residence as promised; at 10:12 am he discovered a hyper Y/N tidying up the kitchen: after a sleepless night and six cups of coffee, she was pretty much invincible. You were wearing one of his military print t-shirts: it was big and he was somehow amused to see you swim in the garment.

“I brought you clothes, shoes and food,” Bane grumbled and arranged boxes on the chair closer to you. “I estimated on the size.”

“Thank you,” the sincerity in your voice proved you meant it. “Thank you for helping me.”

“U-hum,” he intensely gazed at you and maybe because you weren’t in your best shape you misinterpreted his demeanor: was your savior expecting some sort of reward? Since you didn’t have much to offer at that time, Bane probably wanted sex as compensation for his services. If he would have taken what he wanted by force, you reckoned it wouldn’t have been pleasant, not with a man his size; not putting up a fight could have made it at least bearable.

Your logic was way off though: as soon as you took your t-shirt off he came near, picked it from the floor and dressed you back himself.

“You don’t have to do that,” he emphasized and saw how embarrassed you were. “Do you know how to load guns?” Bane switched the dialogue without making it awkward.

“Not really…”

“I’ll show you; I have a project coming up and you can assist.”

“OK,” you were fast to accept as it was an easy way to repay him.

“Besides cracking someone’s skull with a rock, do you know how to defend yourself?” the interrogation continued.

”If I have to.”

“Comes in handy,” he muffled the words beyond the mask and promptly took it off so he can enjoy the coffee too.

It was the first time you saw Bane minus the breathing device; definitely not what you imagined: he was good-looking. HB had a few thin scars across his nose and a thicker one above the upper lip that added a certain flair to his wholesomeness.

He caught you staring and misjudged:

“What?” he growled, pouring hot liquid in a mug. “Is the view not up to your standards?”

Y/N has always been a direct person, that’s why she described exactly what was in her mind:

“I was actually thinking that you’re handsome.”

One of Bane’s eyebrows went high and he huffed at the candid remark:

“Hm… … I’ve been called worse.”

You bit on your cheek and waited for him to finish his coffee in silence, but he had more to say.

“You should change your appearance; it’s safer if they’re searching around for the runaway girl that dared retaliate.”

You nodded a yes, wondering how you could accomplish such task. He wasn’t wrong: it would have evidently aided if they were indeed hunting for you.

“I know somebody,” Bane insinuated the path of action. “I can bring Zorina here and she can work her magic; the woman’s a pro.”

“Sure,” you welcomed his proposal and instantly blurred out: “I have money stashed at my apartment; it’s a hefty sum, all cash. I’ll have to retrieve it then I will be able to reimburse you for everything you’re doing for me.”

He snorted, entertained at your passionate tirade:

“Reimbursed!” Bane repeated and slammed the cup on the counter, preparing to bail. “Don’t worry about that; they might have the condo under surveillance or maybe they already raided the rooms and took your money.”

“I hope not…” you frowned, swiftly tense at his warning.

“Wait for Zorina,” the suggestion alleviated your anxiety a bit. “I’ll text her and she can be here in one hour. I am going out of town in the morning; I will return on the 27th,” he grabbed his mask from the table. “If you have an emergency, call the number I uploaded as an emergency contact,” Bane handed you a brand new cell phone.

“Will you be the one answering?” Y/N asked.

“Yes,” he confirmed and noticed how relieved you seemed at his affirmation.

Bane came back after 10 days, on the 27th as scheduled. You were outside on the porch and he stopped in his tracks when you emerged from behind the wood pillars.

“How do I look like?” you presented the new Y/N to the stunned man instead of a conventional greeting: your hair was completely white, shaved on the left side and the fresh skull tattoo inked on the exposed skin completed the ensemble quite beautifully. The dark red eyeshadow and black leather suit scored extra points with your future husband.

Bane was a straightforward person and didn’t utter words unless he meant them, yet the unpredicted reply still made you smile:

“Like a Goddess.”

*************

For the next six months you helped with whatever was necessary: it kept you busy and while you understood everything was a test, you were able to form your own opinions too.

Bane wasn’t a mindless brute: he was intelligent, outspoken and articulate; the crew didn’t question his decisions not necessarily due to his physical appearance that indicated he could level anyone to the ground with one punch, but because they respected him.

You blindly plunged into an unfamiliar environment: in the great scheme of things, your ex Vee has invariably been a pawn struggling to find his way up to the top. Weren’t you the same now? Another small piece of the puzzle trying to figure out where it belongs?

You weren’t positive so you kept your distance from the team members and never really talk to them; Y/N only did what she was told and stayed away from social interactions. After your disappointing past experiences, one could have said you didn’t like people. Why bother?

Even Bane was probably going to send you on your way soon: he kept on coming to the house more often and your best speculation was that he was getting ready to tell you to vacate the property. Which was fair; you couldn’t rely on his hospitality forever. And for some reason it made you sad.

It was true that Bane dropped by more often: from barely visiting the hideout once a month before your arrival, he multiplied his visits to 3-4 times a week. Under the pretext of checking up on his protégé and give her assignments, of course. It had nothing to do with how much he liked seeing your face light up every time he was around.

One night you fell asleep in front of the fireplace: it was cozy to pile up blankets and watch the longs burn until they turned into ashes. You woke up around 2 in the morning and stretched, surprised to see Bane passed out on the couch a couple of feet away. You didn’t hear him sneak in and assumed he had a motive for being there: to finally tell you he wanted the residence evacuated.

You rolled over and got on your knees, carefully placing two more logs on top of the dying fire.

“Add more,” the deep tone made you jump. “It’s getting chilly.”

“Hi,” you tilted your head to look at him. “I didn’t mean to awake you,” you apologized and did as requested.

“You didn’t,” Bane rubbed his eyes, totally used with short power naps instead of dozing off for hours.

You delayed more conversation, but it had to be addressed although you dreaded the subject; maybe he was expecting you to get the hint so you gathered the courage to speak up:

“I was debating… I should…e-hem…” you fakely coughed, “… find a new establishment…”

“Don’t you wanna stay?” he cut you off.

“I do,” you admitted, “but it’s not fair to take advantage of…”

Bane’s laughter at the statement made you halt your small presentation; it was his strategy of disguising how discouraged he was at your arbitrary idea.

“I doubt I’m the type that can be taken advantage of,” he got on his elbow and you abandoned the warmth of the fireplace in order to sit down by him on the sofa. “You don’t have to go anywhere…unless you wish to,” he gave you choices once more.

You glared at each other for a few seconds and then you demanded:

“Can you please take your mask off?”

“Why?”

“I want to kiss you.”

Bane unsnapped the leather straps without a second invitation: God knows he seldom dreamed about it without paying attention to what it truly meant.

Your lips touched and the intimacy made him slowly pull you in his arms; it seemed natural that the woman he was in love with belonged there.

“My name is Y/N,” you suddenly moaned in between kisses and Bane paused, eager to mention:

“For your own safety I suggest to never disclose it to another living soul. It’s better if you don’t exist; a ghost doesn’t have a past or present thus can never be seized.”

“I like the notion of being a Ghost,” you intertwined your fingers with his. “And you have to call me something; the rest of the world also.”

“Sounds like you got yourself a deal,” Bane grinned and instantly cautioned: “I also have to bring up to your attention that I’ve never slept with a Goddess before.”

Your mouth got close to his ear and you whispered:

“I’ve never slept with a Handsome Brute but I believe we’ll manage.”

************

Today, 1:13 am

Your cell phone keeps on vibrating on the nightstand; attempting to ignore the insufferable noise might wake up Bane: you exhausted your husband last night and he has to recharge. You’ll probably need his services by morning time so… might as well make an effort for his sake.

Great, it’s The Joker.

“Hello?” you keep your voice down.

“I was thinking,” the insomniac King of Gotham gets straight to the core of the issue without apologizing for the late call. “Next time Bane’s out of town and you don’t accompany him, I should take you out to dinner; then we can get some stuff out of our system.”

Is he for reals?!

“I have a better proposal!” you hiss, irritated. “Next time Bane’s out of town without me, you’ll take your girlfriend out to dinner and then you can get whatever you want out of your system with her!! I’ll wait for my husband and then when he comes home he’ll know how to take care of my system!! GOT IT??!!” you hang up and J is displeased at your behavior:

“How fucking rude!” he puffs, cuddling next to Kara; she’s snoozing after her misfortune.

“Who’s that?” your spouse groans.

“Uggghh,” you snuggle to his chest, aggravated by J’s crap.

“Idiot…” HB wraps both naked bodies tighter in the fluffy cover since he guessed the name; your reaction is enough clue.

Ghost pecks his shoulder and gradually relaxes, 100% convinced of the only truth in her life: if she ends up with nothing again, as long as he’s there she will still have everything.

A To-Do List of a Broke and Struggling Art School Grad:

1) Re-apply for student loan income-based repayment plan. Trying to do this right now but the FSA website keeps experiencing outages. I’m pretty sure that I’ll have this figured out soon enough but I have a ton of other shit to do and man is this fucking annoying...

2) Need to find a summer job or a full-time job since my teacher’s assistant job is only for the school year and isn’t stable. I applied for a few jobs already, so far no call-backs, though.

3) Need to keep chipping away at my credit-card debt and try to put money into my savings. Want to have good credit despite being broke. I may be using my credit toward helping my family move seeing as how my mother’s credit is in the red. This is on-going. I still live at home with my mother and right now, am paying for the electricity bill, groceries, my trainfare, lunch and other misc. expenses. Also, I want to be able to move out and get an apartment with my girlfriend someday.

4) I have a digital painting to finish.

5) I’ve been working on a comic book but my computer is too slow to process my drawing so I need to clean out my laptop and see if it’ll increase the processing speed. If not, I may need to scrap this project and turn it into a novel. Speaking of novels... 6) I need to finish editing my novel so that I can re-publish it to Amazon. I will post about that when I’m done.

7) My friend is paying me to read her novels before she gets them published so I need to finish going through them.

8) My art production has been stagnant for too long. I need to produce more work. I have some fanart that I want to create for the actors in this awesome fan-made Legend of Korra video.

9) I’ve been writing 3 other stories aside from the novel I’m currently having to re-edit and I need to push at least one of them toward completion.

10) Since my gf has been making money from YouTube, I want to help her make videos to see they’ll make any money and help her increase her profits so we can eventually share the revenue.

11) I need to create more t-shirt designs for my Society 6 page. 12) Need to draw in my sketchbook more often so I can keep improving my drawing skills. Drawing is not like riding a bike. Your skills get rusty over time if you don’t practice once in a while.

13) Since I spend a lot of time on my laptop trying to get a lot of these things done, I need to make time to go outside or get some kind of exercise. I have a high metabolism so I don’t have to worry about gaining weight but I have thyroid disease and it makes me feel exhausted easily so I need to get back to conditioning my body to have more energy again. I had a hell of a lot more energy in college and now it’s all pretty much gone.

14) Need to learn some new software so I can stand a better chance of getting an animation or graphic design job. Though they’re not just looking for tech skills, they also want applicants to have a bajillion years of professional experience so I don’t know how much that’s going to help...

15) Need to get back to posting videos on Youtube of myself speaking about random shit to improve my speech. I suffer from cluttering disorder and it’s really fucking annoying to deal with. Might also help to do that in case I get a call-back for a job interview. Also, just to feel more confident in my social skills.

16) Need to order new business cards when I have the money because I ran out.

17) Need to work on art that I can sell at art shows in the future. I’ve been selling prints of my Monster Fist characters but they don’t always sell well so I need to start selling fanart. 18) Have to start posting regularly to my Patreon again because I lost my only patron and I really need more money. 19) Need to get my website back up.

20) Need to buy more paint and work on traditional art once in a while. Also, need to finishing the mural I started painting in my room. If it comes out really well, It’d be awesome to get paid to paint murals in people’s houses.

Needs a hell of a lot more work and I need to nuke the right side and start over but it’s getting there.

46 Easy Ways to Get Money Quickly

We all experience times when we need money now. It might be an unexpected bill, having to replace your car prematurely, or a last-minute opportunity to take the trip of a lifetime.

Regardless of the circumstances, having to replenish your emergency fund is never a fun task. These suggestions can help you make money quickly to stay out of financial trouble.

You can pursue one or many of the following income ideas. Once you decide how much time you can commit each week for your new money making hobby, you can focus your efforts on what you excel at most.

Online Opportunities to Pursue When You Need Money Now

Making money no longer means having to work an evening shift at a restaurant for a couple months to make ends meet. That might be what our parents did, and what plenty of people still do, but we have one tool today that previous generations didn’t have: the Internet.

Finding side hustles online might be the first place you start for the following reasons:

You can name your own hours (no shift work)

Can still be home with your family while you work

No commute required

Online side hustles offer the most flexibility because you can work from anywhere with an internet connection. Think about this, an online side hustle I pursued two years ago even let me quit my job! ?

Do you need any more reasons why anybody should try making money online?

1. Take Online Surveys

Online surveys are one of the easiest ways to make money quickly. Most surveys take less than 15 minutes to complete. You won’t get rich from surveys, but they are an easy way to make money when you have a busy schedule. Surveys can be taken online or with a survey app on your phone in between errands, on a lunch break, or before you go to bed.

I participated in online surveys to make money as a student and to help repay my student loans. Personally, I enjoyed the variety of topics as I might rate a product I used recently one day and a current event survey the next day.

Money Tip: Survey Junkie is our favorite survey site and is the most user-friendly site for surveys. They also have a Trust Pilot rating of 4.5 out of 5 from users just like yourself.

2. Sell Your Unwanted Possessions

One of the first places to start making money online is selling items you no longer need. You can try selling your items to an instant buyback vendor for immediate payments or selling the item yourself. Instant buyback vendors are more convenient, but you might not always get the most cash back.

But, if you need money now, you might not want to risk having your item sit for two months before it sells.

Some of the online marketplaces you might consider are:

OCBuyBack (Used Cell Phones for the most cash)

Decluttr (Electronics, CDs/DVDs, Video games)

BookScouter (Books)

ThredUp (Clothing)

In a matter of seconds, you can scan the item barcode using the vendor’s mobile app to get an instant buyback quote. When you’re ready to sell, you print off the prepaid shipping label and receive next-day payment after the vendor receives your shipment.

Some of the best DIY marketplaces to sell are Craigslist, eBay, and Amazon because they are high-traffic marketplaces with reasonable seller fees.

Tip: You can also sell used shoes for cash online too.

3. Get Paid to Use The Internet

Maybe surveys aren’t exactly your cup of tea, but you still want an online side hustle that requires minimal effort. You have two different options in this instance.

MobileXpression

MobileXpression is an app that pays you to use the internet. Each week, you receive credit based on the number of hours you use your phone’s internet. You can then request a cash payment.

You can download the MobileXpression app for your Android or iOS device.

Earning Station

Another popular online niche is “get paid to” sites like EarningStation. With EarningStation, you get paid to complete some of the following activities:

Surf the internet

Complete surveys

Watch videos

Play games

Sample products

Shop online

One reason to consider EarningStation is that you earn bonus points when you visit at least 10 days in a row. This “EarningStreak” opportunity is what helps set EarningStation apart from the others.

4. Shop Online and Get Paid

Even when you no longer need money now, you should still consider using a cashback app like Ebates or Honey. Every time you shop online, you have the chance to get money back and you don’t pay extra. Online shopping is very competitive and retailers offer cash rewards through these portals so they don’t lose a sale to the competition.

Instead of going directly to the retail website, open a shopping session with Ebates and you’re all set. In most cases, you can expect to receive your cashback email before you go to bed.

You will need to wait a month before you can cash out your earnings, so you will still want to pursue another income stream, but cashback apps are an effortless way to get cashback on every purchase.

Money Tip: Install the browser extension to make sure you never forget to activate a shopping session. And, learn more about how Ebates works.

5. Sell Unwanted Gift Cards

You might have a few gift cards in a drawer collecting dust. If you’re not going to use them, sell them for cash on Giftcard Granny. In many instances, you can get instant cash payment that you can immediately withdraw via PayPal or Direct Deposit.

To save some cash when you shop online, you can also use Giftcard Granny to buy gift cards at a discount. You also earn rewards points that can be exchanged for free gift cards too.

I’ve also sold a few Amazon gift cards online and it’s very easy and the sale proceeds can be in your account tomorrow when you sell your unwanted gift cards today!

6. Freelance Online

This can be one of the most lucrative income ideas. After all, many people have eventually replaced their full-time income by freelancing online. Although it might start as a one-time gig, you will earn a steady income if you stick with it. Trust me, I’m living proof!

You can freelance in almost any industry, but there’s always a demand for:

Graphic design

Music

Programming

Social Media

Virtual Assistant

Writing

You should create a profile on Upwork and Fiverr to begin connecting with clients. Upwork might be the better option because you can apply for jobs. To earn more per job, also keep your eyes open to pitching clients.

Tip: On Episode 80 of the Money Peach Podcast, learn how Kayla earns more than $10,000 a month by being a “jack of all trades” virtual assistant with her $10K VA course. Use the discount code PEACH to get $50 off too.

7. Sell Customized Gifts

On CafePress, you can also sell custom t-shirts, drinkware, stickers, and home decor with your unique designs. This is one of the easiest ways to design clothing and gift ideas because you upload the design and CafePress handles the printing and shipping when an order is made.

8. Teach English Online

Teaching English online to international students can be the perfect side hustle opportunity if you want to work before your children wake up or after bedtime. VIPKid is one of the leading online classrooms. To get started, you need a webcam, microphone, and a love for teaching.

Most of these online teaching sites require you to have a teaching degree or prior classroom experience.

9. Tutor

It’s also possible to tutor online or locally. Tutor.com is one place to try so you can tutor students of all ages and any subject. Being able to tutor advanced classes and the “hard sciences” is a definite advantage too.

10. Proofread

If you have an eye for detail and can spot typos from a mile away when you read the news or visit a restaurant, you might find your calling as a proofreader. Several proofreading companies require prior experience, but you can also get your foot in the door at Cactus Communications or freelancer platforms including Upwork and Fiverr.

11. Transcribe Audio Recordings

Do you excel at dictation? Audio transcriptionists put sound recordings to paper. With sites like TranscribeMe, you transcribe one or two-minute recordings on a variety of topics. If you have medical or legal experience, you can make extra money transcribing these recordings that require a professional background.

12. Create an Online Course

With Udemy, you can create a video course to teach others something you’re an expert in. Your video can be teaching computer coding, cooking skills, making a craft, or anything else in the Udemy course catalog. You collect a royalty for each course purchase and you can easily create new courses to continue earning residual income.

13. Test Websites and Apps

Another fun way to make money online is testing websites and apps. UserTesting is one of the most popular testing platforms. Each test takes up to twenty minutes to complete and you make $10. At that rate, you make $30 an hour for testing websites!

To become a tester, you will need a computer or app that has a functioning webcam and microphone. You are given a series of tasks to complete during the test and you verbally share your thoughts as you complete each task.

14. Lucktastic

Lucktastic can give you a break from your other side hustles. This app is an instant win game where you can scratch multiple tickets each day and potentially win cash prizes. If you need money now, you should still pursue other recommendations that provide a guaranteed income first.

Make Money Locally

You should also consider making money within your local community. After all, not everybody wants to stare at a computer screen to make extra income. If you enjoy being on the move or have handy skills there are plenty of ways to have a gig without working a regular shift.

Also, ask your friends and family if they have any potential clients. Word of mouth referral is always one of the most effective forms of advertising.

15. Be a Rideshare Driver

It seems like you see cars with Uber and Lyft stickers in the windshield more frequently. If you own a four-door vehicle, you can make some extra cash in your free time driving passengers from point A to point B. You can name your own hours and choose which ride requests to accept.

The highest demand for rides is usually on the weekends and during rush hour, but you can also earn a steady income driving in mid-day too.

You will need to be at least 21 years old to drive and pass a background check. Many rideshare drivers drive for Uber and Lyft to pick the best available route at the moment. You’re an independent contractor and aren’t restricted to only working for a single company.

Tip: New drivers often have the chance to earn a signup bonus with both Uber and Lyft!

16. Deliver Food

Many restaurants are moving away from hiring an in-house delivery team. While many pizza joints are still looking for drivers, restaurants are partnering with UberEats or DoorDash to offer delivery service for online orders. Once again, you have the flexibility to deliver during your free time and choose the days and hours.

The requirements for being a food delivery person are more relaxed than being a rideshare driver. You’re not required to have a car, for example, because you can deliver by bike, scooter, or foot.

17. Deliver Groceries

You can also sign-up to be an Instacart grocery shopper. The most lucrative option can be working as a full-service shopper because you shop for the order and deliver it to the buyer. If you don’t own a car, you can also be an in-store shopper who gathers the order so the buyer doesn’t have to walk the aisles.

18. Get Cashback on Grocery Purchases

Each time you shop at grocery stores, you can get cashback with Checkout51. By activating offers and scanning your receipt, Checkout51 gives you a cash reward for every redeemed offer. These cash rewards are in addition to any paper coupons you might clip, and you can potentially double your savings.

Checkout51 publishes their newest offers every Thursday. Once your account balance reaches $20, you can request a cash payment.

Tip: You can still earn bonus cash on every item you purchase with National Consumer Panel too. It available for both mobile and desktop.

19. Rent Your Spare Bedroom

You can also make money by listing your spare bedroom or a second house as an Airbnb host. An increasing number of travelers prefer staying at Airbnb because it’s typically more reasonable than most hotel rooms and it’s a more enjoyable experience. Airbnb will help you through the listing process so you can begin taking guests and putting your vacant real estate to good use.

20. Be a Handyman

If you enjoy working with your hands or completing projects around the house, you can be the neighborhood handyman at TaskRabbit. You can get paid to perform some of the following tasks:

Assembling furniture

Basic home repairs

Installing TVs and appliances

Moving and packing

Pressure washing

Many homeowners don’t have the time or skills to perform these tasks and you can be there to lend a helping hand.

21. Babysit

By joining Care.com, you can get paid to:

Babysit

Housekeeping

Pet care

Senior care

Tutoring

Caregivers are in high demand. Maybe you only need to babysit for date night or you can find a long-term client. Either way, you get paid to do what you love.

22. Deliver Phone Books

This job is seasonal, but it can be perfect if you only need to work for a few days. Neighborhoods all across the country still get a phone book delivered at least once a year. You can even get your daily exercise requirement in on delivery days too!

You can find local positions online to begin delivering phone books.

23. Pick Up Trash

You might find this income stream a tad bizarre, but you can make money picking up trash! Brian from Clean Lots has been doing it for thirty years and makes a six-figure income.

Business and shopping center parking lots don’t clean themselves. If you’re not afraid of getting your hands a little dirty, you can put some extra green in your wallet.

Tip: Hear Brian’s story on Episode 59 of the Money Peach Podcast.

24. Sell Your Clothes

You could do what you always do and hold a garage sale, or you can also try selling your clothes to a nearby consignment store. It’s less work and you might make more money! You can also use the same tactic for bulky household goods that are too expensive to ship to an online buyer.

Another option is to try selling your more valuable clothes online if you think you can earn more selling it yourself. Make sure you take good pictures and factor shipping prices into the equation too.

25. Flip Garage Sale Finds

One man’s trash is another man’s treasure. Some people might be selling their treasures at a discount because they need money now. By perusing garage sales and thrift stores, you can find bargains that can be sold online for a profit.

You can also scour the “Free” section on Craigslist for steals too. Once you figure out the average selling price of the items you plan to flip, shopping will be much easier and quicker.

You will need to find the system that works best for you to find treasures and the best places to sell them.

Every town has a different dynamic to find discounted items. One tip is to visit the thrift stores in the wealthier parts of your town as they are more likely to sell quality items at steep discounts. For example, you might be able to find designer clothing for a dollar that can be sold for $10 or more.

26. Wash Cars for Cash

You can offer to wash cars by hand by having a mobile car wash station or you can travel to a person’s house to wash the car. If you provide house calls or interior detailing, you need to provide your own cleaning supplies in addition to the car wash soap you use.

It’s also possible to offer exterior car waxing services to if you have the time and want to make some additional cash.

27. Pressure Wash Houses

Here’s one task that many homeowners neglect is pressure washing their home. Some people only pressure wash their homes when they get ready to sell it. You can advertise your services online or the old-fashioned way of knocking on doors.

To increase your chances of landing a job, take before and after pictures of a few homes that you pressure wash. Being able to show your clients visual examples of your quality work goes a long way.

28. Mow Lawns

You can also mow lawns and offer basic landscaping services to make money to while improving curb appeal for the homeowner. This is a great idea to boost your income in the summer months when there’s more daylight and you’re probably outside already.

If you live in a region with significant snowfall, you can get paid during all four seasons to keep lawns and driveways in tiptop shape.

29. Clean Houses

Another way to make money any month of the year is to clean houses or places of business. You can find openings on Craigslist. For example, you might be able to clean vacation cabins on the weekends if you live near a touristy area. Or, cleaning services might also be looking for people to clean office buildings or industrial properties.

Depending on your personal network, you can also ask your friends and family if they know of anybody that needs help cleaning. Asking a simple question can help you find long-term clients or cleaning before somebody has company arrive to visit.

30. Donate Plasma

For two hours a week, you can make up to $400 a month by donating plasma and help save a life in the process. Plasma donation centers are in most large and mid-size cities. This can be your time to read a book, watch a movie, or pursue an online side hustle while you make a donation.

You get paid cash for each complete donation, but you need to donate twice (two one-hour sessions) before you get paid. This is because the donation center needs two separate donations so your plasma can be used to help others.

31. Participate in Paid Clinical Studies

Another option for making money locally is to participate in paid medical studies. You can find studies by searching for “paid medical studies near me” to find paid opportunities. You can also ask your local college or medical center if they are aware of any opportunities too.

When medical studies are available, you may have to be experiencing certain medical conditions. You will also need to be okay with being a “medical guinea pig” and testing new medications and treatment ideas.

32. Teach Lessons

All those piano lessons or karate lessons your parents paid for can finally be put to good use. You can teach a skill one night a week or multiple nights depending on how many students you have. Whether it’s music lessons, karate, gymnastics, or another talent you can teach individually or to a group, you can advertise locally to get students.

Once you decide what you can teach, you can advertise your services on Craigslist or also leave flyers at local businesses, community centers, or the public library.

33. Recycle Scrap Material

It’s also possible to make money recycling scrap material for cash. You can get cash for some of the following items you might have in your house:

Loose metal (i.e., sheet metal, copper, tire rims)

Appliances

Metal cans

Glass bottles

For larger objects like your old washer and dryer, you will need a truck and trailer to haul your scrap off. You can look online for scrap yards and recycle-for-cash facilities near you.

Immediately Cut Your Spending for an Instant Pay Raise

Are you ready to learn the secret on getting an immediate pay raise? Reduce your monthly spending.

For example, if you can spend $100 less each month than right now, you get an instant $1,200 indirect pay raise for the year. And, it might only take a few minutes to make a few quick changes to immediately begin saving money.

Besides using your free time to make money, you can also use these money hacks to instantly cut your spending. Another mantra you might take to hear is, “Spend less, work less.” By cutting your spending, maybe you don’t have to sacrifice your work/life balance to make extra money.

34. Cancel Unwanted Subscriptions with Trim

Do you know how you spend every dollar each month? Trim is a free app that analyzes your spending and cancels the unwanted subscription, especially those ones you’ve been meaning to cancel but haven’t because it’s only $10 a month and doesn’t pinch your wallet.

You can cancel subscriptions ranging from streaming plans like Netflix to gym memberships with a text message. Trim will also apply the best promotions to your cable tv, home internet, and cell phone plan so you don’t overpay for these services either.

Finally, Trim can also monitor your bank accounts and credit cards to make sure you don’t overdraft or forget to pay a bill.

35. Cancel Your Cable TV Subscription

The average cable tv bill costs $100 a month. You most likely have the internet at home, so you can watch the same channels for a fraction of the cost when you switch to a streaming service like SlingTV or Hulu.

Even better, you can completely cut the cord because you’re using your free time to launch a side hustle instead of watching tv. There’s nothing wrong with watching a movie or your favorite sports team from time to time, but tv doesn’t have to be your full-time hobby.

36. Switch Bank Accounts

This hack won’t give you more spending money, but you can avoid overdraft fees, monthly account fees, and earn more interest on your deposit. In addition to thinking about short-term ways to make money, you should also pursue long-term income streams to earn recurring wealth.

Best Savings and Checking Accounts RateDetails CIT Savings Builder2.05% APR$100 monthly deposit OR $25,000 account balance CIT Money Market Account1.75% APR $100 min opening deposit UFB Direct2.00% APR$0 min to open account. $10,000 minimum to earn full 2.25% Axos Rewards Checking Account1.11% APRNo overdraft or non-sufficient fund fees, unlimited domestic ATM fee reimbursements and no minimum balance requirements

37. Stop Going Out to Eat As Often

Food is a large portion of most people’s household budget. You might be spending more on food than you must because you go out to eat all the time. In many cases, you can make the same meals at home for a fraction of the cost. For a family of four, you can easily spend at least $40 for each restaurant meal.

If you don’t think it’s possible to feed a family on a budget, visit $5 Meal Plan. You can access delicious recipes that let you feed an army for pennies.

Why I Stopped Going to Restaurants

With my old job, I spent $20 every workday at restaurants or $5,000 a year. While I wouldn’t have recouped the entire $5,000 each year by cooking my own meals, I would have spent significantly less at the grocery store. After seeing how much money I could save by not going out to eat as often, I made the switch and instantly saved about $200 to $300 a month in food costs.

38. Rent Movies Instead of Buying

You might be trying to sell your old DVDs because you buy movies instead of renting them. Instead of buying moves for $15 each, you can rent movies for free from Redbox or even stream movies online for free too. Not only will you save money, but your movie collection will no longer collect dust.

39. Borrow Clothes Instead of Buying Clothes

Another area where it can be easy to overspend in clothing. Instead of buying name brand clothing in the mall, you might decide to rent designer labels from Rent the Runway. You can also find bargains at local thrift stores and consignment stores, but make sure you don’t buy something you really don’t need.

40. Ditch Your Permanent Life Insurance Policy

One of the worst “investments” an adult can make is buying permanent life insurance – aka Cash Value Policy. In most cases, the policy benefits are not worth the extra cost. Apply for a term life insurance policy instead that can be ten times cheaper than a permanent life insurance policy. Once you have your new term policy in place, cash out your cash value immediately!

41. File Price Protection Claims for Online Orders

You can already get cashback on every online purchase when you shop with a shopping app like Ebates and you can get additional cash back if the price drops after you make the purchase.

With Paribus, you can get free price protection notifications when a retailer drops the price on recent purchases. Paribus then submits the claim on your behalf, which means you don’t have to monitor for price changes yourself and then submit it.

Disclaimer: Paribus does compensate MoneyPeach when you sign up for Paribus using the links we have provided in this post.

42. Earn Credit Card Rewards

Many people stick with debit cards because you’re still required to immediately pay for your purchases with cash. While you won’t go into credit card debt, you’re missing out on credit card rewards for cash back or travel rewards.

If you are going to use a credit card, make sure to pay them off in full so you don’t incur high interest payments. The best way to do this is to set a reminder to pay your credit cards in full once per week. If you don’t feel like paying them in full each week, then set up auto-pay so you never carry a balance.

Also, choose the best credit card rewards that fit your lifestyle. If you notice you spend most of your money at the grocery store and on fuel costs, then you may want to look at a card that gives you the highest cash back on those types of purchases.

Conversely, if you are someone who enjoys traveling, then it may be a good idea to look at cards that offer the best travel perks.

Check out Nerdwallet’s credit card reviews to help you choose the best option.

43. Save Your Spare Change

Maybe you’ve heard the tip of stashing all of your $1 bills in a savings envelope instead of keeping them into your wallet to spend on coffee and candy bars to easily save money for the future. The Acorns app makes it even easier to save and invest your spare change instead of spending it.

With each purchase, Acorns rounds up the purchase amount to the next dollar for every credit or debit card purchase. For example, a $4.25 purchase becomes $5 and the extra 75 cents is invested to build a small nest egg. You can also get extra cash investments by shopping online through Acorns retail partners too.

44. Stop Paying High Investing Fees

Each time you buy or sell a stock or ETF, your brokerage might charge up to $7 per trade. If you’re only investing small amounts of income at a time or are simply tired of paying hundreds of dollars in trade commissions each year M1 Finance is an option you should definitely give a look.

45. Refinance Your High Interest Debt

There are much better options for you instead of high interest credit card debt or any high interest debt for that matter. Borrowers are literally saving thousands of dollars in interest payments by trading their higher interest debt for a lower interest personal loan. The nice thing is you have so many more options than you did just a few years ago and with the competition for your business, your new interest rate could be much lower than what you have now.

Check our our favorite places to start for lowering your high interest debt.

46. Refinance Your Student Loans

If you have a mountain of student loans to repay, you can refinance the balance for a potentially lower interest rate. This is because you now have a job and your credit score has likely improved since you earned your diploma. Credible is a leader in student loan refinancing and they even offer job loss protection benefits and incentives for entrepreneurs too.

Summary

Instead of shrugging your shoulders and thinking you need to borrow money or do the “same old thing” when you need money now, try a few of these tips instead. You will make money and you even save money by making a few adjustments to how you utilize your free time.

46 Easy Ways to Get Money Quickly

We all experience times when we need money now. It might be an unexpected bill, having to replace your car prematurely, or a last-minute opportunity to take the trip of a lifetime.

Regardless of the circumstances, having to replenish your emergency fund is never a fun task. These suggestions can help you make money quickly to stay out of financial trouble.

You can pursue one or many of the following income ideas. Once you decide how much time you can commit each week for your new money making hobby, you can focus your efforts on what you excel at most.

Online Opportunities to Pursue When You Need Money Now

Finding side hustles online might be the first place you start for the following reasons:

You can name your own hours (no shift work)

Can still be home with your family while you work

No commute required

Do you need any more reasons why anybody should try making money online?

1. Take Online Surveys

Money Tip: Survey Junkie is our favorite survey site and is the most user-friendly site for surveys. They also have a Trust Pilot rating of 4.5 out of 5 from users just like yourself.

2. Sell Your Unwanted Possessions

But, if you need money now, you might not want to risk having your item sit for two months before it sells.

Some of the online marketplaces you might consider are:

OCBuyBack (Used Cell Phones for the most cash)

Decluttr (Electronics, CDs/DVDs, Video games)

BookScouter (Books)

ThredUp (Clothing)

Some of the best DIY marketplaces to sell are Craigslist, eBay, and Amazon because they are high-traffic marketplaces with reasonable seller fees.

Tip: You can also sell used shoes for cash online too.

3. Get Paid to Use The Internet

Maybe surveys aren’t exactly your cup of tea, but you still want an online side hustle that requires minimal effort. You have two different options in this instance.

MobileXpression

MobileXpression is an app that pays you to use the internet. Each week, you receive credit based on the number of hours you use your phone’s internet. You can then request a cash payment.

You can download the MobileXpression app for your Android or iOS device.

Earning Station

Another popular online niche is “get paid to” sites like EarningStation. With EarningStation, you get paid to complete some of the following activities:

Surf the internet

Complete surveys

Watch videos

Play games

Sample products

Shop online

4. Shop Online and Get Paid

Instead of going directly to the retail website, open a shopping session with Ebates and you’re all set. In most cases, you can expect to receive your cashback email before you go to bed.

You will need to wait a month before you can cash out your earnings, so you will still want to pursue another income stream, but cashback apps are an effortless way to get cashback on every purchase.

Money Tip: Install the browser extension to make sure you never forget to activate a shopping session. And, learn more about how Ebates works.

5. Sell Unwanted Gift Cards

To save some cash when you shop online, you can also use Giftcard Granny to buy gift cards at a discount. You also earn rewards points that can be exchanged for free gift cards too.

I’ve also sold a few Amazon gift cards online and it’s very easy and the sale proceeds can be in your account tomorrow when you sell your unwanted gift cards today!

You can freelance in almost any industry, but there’s always a demand for:

Graphic design

Music

Amazon FBA Ninja Review – Overview

Amazon FBA Ninja is a course that teaches you how to start, build, and scale a successful Amazon FBA business. It was created by Kevin David, a relatively unfamiliar internet marketer.

Kevin graduated college Summa Cum Laude with an accounting degree, starting at Big 4 accounting firm PwC. Accounting busy season’s 80-hour work weeks must’ve gotten the best of him because he jumped ship after a few years and became a privacy consultant for Facebook in Menlo Park.

He liked his Facebook gig more, but working for someone else didn’t sit well with him. When he discovered Amazon FBA one late night at the Facebook office, he pulled the trigger and started his own FBA business.

It didn’t take him long to achieve success.

The Amazon product research tool Junglescout even has a case study about the guy.

Since his FBA success, he started his online course company THATLifestyleNinja.

You probably noticed Kevin is driven by his hate for the 9-5 and his desire to free others from their desk jobs. He even says so on his website. All of THATLifestyleNinja’s courses show students how to quit their jobs and work for themselves online.

Amazon FBA Ninja is his Amazon FBA course. Should you buy it?

Read the rest of our Amazon FBA Ninja review below.

Product

Amazon FBA Ninja’s main content consists of 8 modules split into multiple parts, with each part containing multiple video lessons. The modules are Product Research with 3 parts, Suppliers and Shipping with 3 parts, Listing Optimization and Ranking with 3 parts, Product Launch Strategy with 2 parts, Email Follow Up and Review with 2 parts, Amazon PPC and AMS with 3 parts, Facebook Marketing with 3 parts, and Millionaire Seller Hacks with 3 parts.

All the course content is updated regularly to keep up with market trends and changes in FBA rules. Since you have lifetime access to Amazon FBA Ninja, all these updates are free for you once you buy the course.

There is also a bonus module that teaches topics like niche selection, software, and international selling. Other bonuses include access to a private Facebook group with over 4,000 other members and live Q&A sessions in that group. Bonuses can be accessed in the “STUDENT NINJA EXTRAS” module.

Product Research introduces just that. Product research.

Before you get to researching potential products, Part 1 gives you some Amazon FBA advice and resources. It also walks you through how to set up your account in a way that makes your FBA venture as lucrative as possible.

Part 2 dives straight into product research, covering everything from free research tools like Google Keyword Planner to research methods for targeting international markets. It even talks about Junglescout, an Amazon tool that I’ve also reviewed.

Part 3 is much shorter and covers miscellaneous information like fees and pricing mistakes.

Module 2 covers Suppliers and Shipping.

Part 1 preps you for supplier outreach. You’re given tips on supplier relations, templates to maximize supplier response, and some of Kevin’s shipping/supplier resources.

Then Part 2 shows you how to take these tips and templates to find a great supplier for your product. First, Kevin covers finding the cheapest Alibaba products and shipping them directly from China to the Amazon FBA Warehouse to save on product costs. The process is similar to dropshipping. Then, you’ll learn about how to strike deals with American manufacturers to save money and time on shipping if you live in the US.

Part 3 just covers product inspection. Kevin shares companies he trusts to inspect products for quality so you can save time inspecting all the products yourself.

Module 3 shifts gears towards Listing Optimization and Ranking.

In Part 1, there are a series of videos containing preliminary information about listing optimization. These videos show you how to “steal” competitor keywords while shielding your own keywords from their eyes. It’ll also touch on pricing and trademark issues, and of course there’s a list of listing optimization resources included.

Part 2 walks you step-by-step through creating a “world-class” Amazon listing. Keyword ranking, bullet copywriting, and mistakes to avoid are all taught. Kevin also shows you how to use product page videos to demonstrate the product in action to increase sales.

Part 3 covers what to do when you run out of stock and how to avoid doing so. It’ll also teach you what to do when other sellers “hijack” your listings by selling the same product your brand sells.

Module 4 get into Product Launch Strategy.

This module only has two parts. Part 1 gives a few lessons on video ads and finding customer questions about your products. As always, there are product launch resources.

Part 2 covers everything about the launch. Things like pricing, advertising, customer email collection, running sales, and product launch services are discussed.

Module 5 has 2 sections about email marketing, focusing on Email Follow Up and Reviews.

As always, Part 1 tells you what you need to know before creating email campaigns and gives you some email marketing resources. Kevin covers

Part 2 is basically a mini email copywriting course. You’ll learn a few email marketing and copywriting tactics to build rapport with customers, maximize conversions, and bring back repeat business.

Module 6 gets into paid traffic through Amazon PPC and AMS campaigns.

Part 1’s really short. All Kevin does here is tell an anecdote about flying to Brazil by spending money on Pay Per Click (PPC) ads and explains why you need to use Amazon Marketing Services (AMS) to succeed in FBA.

Part 2 covers the entire ad campaign process. You start by learning keyword research, then Kevin shows you a ton of other details to be aware of when crafting your ad campaigns.

Then in Part 3, you learn about PPC campaign optimization. Kevin shows you how to find the keywords you’re ranking for to fine tune your ads, as well as how to optimize multiple campaigns in only minutes.

Facebook Marketing is a very broad topic, so it gets its own module in Module 7.

Part 1 of this module introduces you to Facebook ads. You’ll learn how to create custom Facebook ads audiences based on your real Amazon FBA customers as well as how to build highly specific Facebook groups relevant to your Amazon business.

Part 2 goes right into Facebook ads. You’ll learn how to become an expert at targeting the correct audience with Facebook ads. The process of building a sales funnel with Clickfunnels has its own video lesson as well.

Like any business course, Part 3 gives some introductory lessons on scaling and automation.

Lastly, there’s Module 8 that covers Millionaire Seller Hacks.

This module has tons of other details for polishing your business that didn’t fit in neatly with other modules.

Part 1 is all about prevention. It teaches how to prevent hackers from taking over your account, how to find the profiles of reviewers, and even how to remove negative seller feedback. That last one’s a bit questionable, but as long as you are selling useful products, then no big deal.

Part 2 is crammed full of other tactics to increase sales. For example, you learn how to get your products to show up in “frequently bought together”, incentivizing customers to bundle your products together. Another topic Kevin covers is using multiple accounts to mitigate the risk of having your seller account suspended. Other scaling topics like hiring virtual assistants and cross-listing on eBay are also taught.

And if your seller account gets suspended, refer to Part 3. Kevin’s got a few secrets for recovering your account after a suspension.

I like the structure of each module. Part 1 introduces you with information on the topic, Part 2 shows you how to apply the information successfully, and Part 3 teaches you how to tweak whatever the module covers to stay profitable.

The Bonus Module contains several more video lessons as well as some bonus resources.

The first lesson is about niche selection. Kevin teaches you how to identify untapped niches that have the potential to make you thousands.

Then, there’s a lesson entirely dedicated to software. You’ll learn how to use product research tools and other software to maximize profits and save time.

After that is a lesson on Amazon selling with no USA bank account. Sellers outside the US will find this lesson helpful.

Lesson 4 covers Merch by Amazon, Amazon’s print-on-demand service. The service is simple to use, but Kevin’s video lesson will teach you how to make $10,000 a month just selling print-on-demand products on Amazon.

The last lesson is for UK sellers.

There’s a Facebook group for the Amazon FBA Ninja community.

Here, you can discuss successes and failure with other students. You can also ask questions for either the group or Kevin to answer.

There are links to discounted FBA resources in the group as well.

This group is not to be confused for “FBA Ninjas!”, the public group for anyone interested in Amazon FBA.

There’s some good info in this group, but many have complained it’s mostly people showing off their progress. Nothing wrong with showing your progress to the community you’re in, but it’s not very helpful for everyone else.

In the Facebook group, Kevin holds live Q&A sessions.

Unlike other Facebook groups, Kevin claims he answers every single question his students send in. If true, that level of access is not seen in many other groups.

Upsells

Amazon FBA Ninja’s 1 true upsell is the Shopify Ninja course. Shopify Ninja has 5 modules that cover finding products, locating dropshipping suppliers, Shopify store optimization, marketing, and scaling.

Bonuses include bonus videos similar to Amazon FBA Ninja’s, a done-for-you sales funnel, and access to a Shopify Ninja private Facebook group.

Shopify Ninja’s structure is similar to Amazon FBA Ninja’s.

Pricing

Amazon FBA Ninja costs $1,997 up front. Alternatively, you can buy the course for 5 monthly payments of $599 if you can’t afford the $1,997 up front.

Shopify Ninja costs $997, or you can opt for 3 monthly payments of $497.

The sales page for Amazon FBA Ninja has a struck-through price of $3,994, but I don’t think the price is moving an inch from $1,997 anytime soon.

Affiliate Program

Amazon FBA Ninja has an affiliate program. Unfortunately, there is no data on potential affiliate earnings anywhere, not even in the affiliate program itself.

But if you join, the affiliate program provides you with all the marketing materials you need. All you have to do is use them to sell Amazon FBA Ninja to your audience.

For some reason, many of these course creators make it unnecessarily difficult to find their affiliate signup page, so here it is.

Just fill in your personal and payment information, click Create Account, and you should be ready to start as an affiliate.

Recap

Amazon FBA Ninja is not a scam. It’s a pretty good course, even for the price. Like I said earlier, you should be willing to invest in your education if you’re willing to shell out thousands to buy inventory ahead of time.

Unsure if you want to get Amazon FBA Ninja? I reviewed another Amazon FBA course, too. It’s not always open though, so if you can’t find a way to join, you might have to play the waiting game if you don’t want to buy Amazon FBA Ninja.
