Hello Friends of Sparrows End,
This channel is all about how I am building 10 small streams of income to pay the bills and support me living the life I want.
I also have a personal channel which is all about my hobby of gardening! If you’re genuinely interested in gardening and seeing how I use my garden, allotment and batch cooking to save money and live a simpler life, then click here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCS7VqWg-vsYvXYgYMSpXeVQ or search “Sparrows End Homestead”
You can now *Buy Me a Coffee* (or rather a cup of tea!) using this link. It’s a shared link with my other channel. All the tea money gets reinvested into my gardening projects and also into both channels in terms of buying recording and editing equipment; it’s not for regular income and expenditure and won’t feature in any income reports. I will, however, share publicly how I’ve spent/invested the money because I think it will be fun for anyone who buys a tea to see where it goes!

I’m a new subscriber and I’m very much enjoying your videos. I’m been struggling with inspiration for my kdp products and I was looking for motivation when I found your channel. ❤
Thank you for your open and honest video, I am trying to turn back towards creating an online income and I do find your videos very helpful. Something I struggle with is staying organised and not letting myself get distracted with the 101 different projects I want to do and the short amount of time I have to do them in.
Good luck Mel
I used to watch your reselling videos and we started ebay around the same time. It's funny because our journeys have been very similar and now I'm focussing on rebuilding dwindling income streams, adding a few more and maintaining those that provide most of my income, so it's great to hear your perspectives as you do similar!
Ooh long and chatty one – right up my street Mel😁 your just have the nicest voice and the loveliest accent – if you had a podcast you'd be smashing it👊ps. Your hair and skin looks lovely and glowing😊hugs from Anna x
Excellent!!
Thank you for another lovely videos, I really like the chatty ones. Btw… I've noticed a ladder behind you in the background a couple of videos ago. Is it an ongoing project you're doing?
Loving all your videos, especially KDP ones. Published my first book this week! It is showing on page 4 of results though and it isn't it a very competitive niche. Do I just leave it and see if it gets bumped up or is there anything specific I can do?
Hi Mel, have you tried advanced advertising on eBay? I've found it better and cheaper (maybe just for my products) – Also, another thing I want to mention regarding eBay regular promotions is that you get charged per sale rather than pay per click, I can tell you for a fact it's soooooooooooooo much better than Amazon (Robazon) who have opted for the ancient pay per click model, almost as if to say 'this is how we do it, we're so big we don't care what you think, if you don't want to use us, then don't' and they're right! Anyway, just my 2 cents. Thanks for your video(s) I enjoy them 🙂
