For two years I picked products the dumbest possible way.

What I changed in my storefront, and where the real commissions were hiding.

I filmed whatever I happened to be using.

A pan. A cat bed. A lip liner.

It worked. But I was leaving money on the table and didn’t even know it.

The base commission is small. Usually 1 to 4 percent.

Want the whole system now? Here’s where I wrote it all down.

The real money is in brand bonus offers stacked on top. Sometimes an extra 10 to 25 percent.

I ignored them for two years because they looked like extra work. That was expensive.

Here’s what I’d tell you if you’re starting a storefront now:

1. Run the influencer storefront and the regular associate links together. You don’t have to pick one.
2. Film products that have open video spots, not just whatever is on your counter.
3. Grab the bonus offers. That’s where the commission jumps.
4. Keep it simple. Good light, a steady phone, clear sound.

But a storefront is just one stream.

One stream is a side hustle. Several streams are a business.

I run 22 of them now, all on my own, after 40. The storefront is one. Pinterest, digital guides, a paid newsletter and product links are a few more.

So I wrote down every single one, step by step, so you can pick the one or two that fit you and stack them.

You don’t need more products.

You need more streams that feed each other.
