Saturday Prepper Topic - 5-10-2025 Cash Stash Strategies : Amazon and Printify

Image
Both  Amazon Affiliates and Shopify/Printify/Etsy are still among the best opportunities to work just 1 hour a day, set it and forget it, and earn income, especially, especially, with the exponential improvement in A.I. Imagery!!! In 2023 Amazon sales totaled 352 Billion, and they pay up to 4% to Affiliates. 4% may not seem like much, but it sparks creativity to other opportunity, especially in A.I. Art. You must want wellth and wealth, for yourself and others, and see what blessings you attract. The goal is to achieve sufficient cash stash for #SHTF and much, much, more! I can't sugarcoat the reality. If you're not comfortable being a Capitalist and an Christian, then cool beans, keep working for the Plantatrix. We are headed for Zero median wealth by 2053 if we stay in the 1619 Legacy economic matrix. In Matthew 6:34, Our Savior, Jesus Christ said, don't worry about tomorrow. He never said don't PREPARE for tomorrow. In fact, real faith is faith in action, not fai...

Time for 40+ Million to dig in, dig in deep, and win...

  Building on a previous post, I grew up in an urban environment of among brick and mortar throughout my youth in NYC and my beloved Bowles Park, CT. I loved creating, building, exploring - from selling seeds, magazines, sea monkeys, to summer expeditions to find Sunny Reach (it does exist) At 7 months pregnant, I was hired right out of Durham Tech, on the Dean's List, with an Architectural drafting certificate and began detailing "rebar" for schools and office buildings for two years, until the competing deadlines of projects and pediatric appointments of two toddlers forced me to choose. I chose motherhood. Driven to build something, I created and sold 100s of pairs of "Benincraft Angels". Building, creating is my therapy, or I'd go crazy. How God saw fit to preserve me to retirement is nothing I take for granted any day. Just when I wanted to chill, this #Prediction2053 came to my attention, and at-risk event #47 took office. When God gives you someth...

Do You Care Who Bakes Your Bread?

Image
In a recent FB re-post, I congratulated an African American sister on her commercial milestone with her Winery. I added, "I hope she completes the loop and deposits some of that net revenue at a "Black" bank...", to which a non-Black person replied to my post, "...Pathetic! Do you care who bakes your bread?" Relevant to today's (12/29) Kwanzaa principle of Ujamaa, Cooperative Economics, this is exactly why it is imperative that African Americans intentionally bank at least 5% or more of  our $1.8 Trillion+ collective income with our culture FIRST, before it matriculates back into the current "dominion" economy. This person's viscerally resentful response to my comment reveals the persistent paternalistic pathology that remains embedded in the psyche of many (not all) self-identified Euro-American people, in the present age.  "You don't ask who bakes the bread to feed your poor souls, so why should you care about depositing your m...

iPrep2Thrive™ will transition, as of 11/1/2024, to a new brand identity: The Preparedness.Club™.

Image
Hello Everyone... I have an announcement! iPrep2Thrive™ will transition, as of 11/1/2024, to a new brand identity: The Preparedness.Club™ , a Mutual Resilience Group. Here are five reasons for the brand name change…  Sense of Community:  I wanted to cultivate more of a sense of belonging, where members share knowledge, resources, and support in preparedness efforts. Most importantly, a "safe harbor" where preparedness input is valued.  Memorability: "The Preparedness.Club ™ " is simple, direct, and easy to remember. For those who remembered the iPrep2Thrive ™ brand name, without effort, don't worry. 😊It will continue to forward to the new name for several months, before I retire it. Clarity of Purpose: The new name immediately communicates the focus of The Preparedness.Club ™ It leaves no ambiguity about the mission, making it easier for people to understand what our ecosystem will offer. Scalability: The term "Club" suggests flexibility and the pot...
