How does Sarah make money online?

Sarah is perhaps best known for her popular YouTube channel, Wholesale Ted. On that channel she shares content related to building an online business.

  • Affiliate commissions earned from recommending products and services to her audience.
  • Revenue from ads shown on her channel.

How much money does Sarah make?

Sarah shared in a March 2020 video that she earns more than $2000 per day from a Print on Demand store…

The video has since been taken offline ☹️

That adds up to about $60,000 per month in revenue. Sarah notes a profit margin of 29-47% in the video. If we use a conservative margin of 35%, we’re left with $21,000 per month. Presumably there would still be expenses that would need to be subtracted from that (software expenses, for example).

In a September 2019 video, Sarah revealed that she earns more than $10,000 per month from affiliate marketing

A much higher percentage of that income would be profit.

In a July 2020 video, Sarah showed at the 18:50 mark that she earned $17,471 in YouTube ad revenue over a recent 28-day period:

Sarah’s YouTube channel is growing steadily (according to Social Blade) so it’s safe to assume she earns at least $15,000 per month in ad revenue consistently.

It’s unclear how much money Sarah earns from her other online stores, her online course (priced at $67/month), or from credit card rewards.

Although at the 10:10 mark of the video above, Sarah does talk about her credit card rewards and shows how she can exchange 5-days of accumulated points on one card for $250 in iTunes gift cards. Assuming that’s typical, her credit card rewards would be over $1000 per month.

Altogether, it’s probably safe to say that Sarah is pulling in at least $90,000 per month in revenue from all her online business activities.

How did Sarah get started?

Sarah talks about her first business – reselling video games at age 15 – in this July 2019 video…

At about the 10-minute mark of this June 2020 video, Sarah shares some details about how she got started working online.

Highlights include:

  • She had an online store that sold video game hacking accessories.
  • She also had an SEO agency and worked in the consulting field in affiliate marketing.
  • She started her YouTube channel around 2014-2015.

What type of online business does Sarah have?

Sarah runs a multifaceted online business. 

According to our framework it can be broken down like this:

  • GetPaidTo (Level 1)
    Sarah’s credit card rewards are essentially her getting paid to spend money.
  • Freelance (Level 2)
    Sarah has mentioned that she did some consulting work related to affiliate marketing. Presumably this was on a freelance basis.
  • Agency (Level 3)
    Sarah used to run an agency that provided SEO services.
  • Resale (Level 3)
    I believe Sarah still runs several dropshipping stores.
  • Authority (Level 4)
    Sarah has about 500k subscribers on her YouTube channel, monetized in various ways.
  • Digital Products (Level 4)
    This would be Sarah’s online course. Her print on demand stores would also be considered digital product businesses.
