Three Months on the Vine

As I have written before, I was accepted to the Amazon Vine Voice program 3 months ago and I have been receiving products for two of those three months. (The first order was placed on January 22, 2023.)

Everything from plates to shirts, we have ordered a lot of products. Admittedly, we would never have purchased most of these products if it were not for the program and desire to create content. That is why it’s a business expense. Funny, we still pay for what we want/need and review those too.

It’s been an avalanche of work and it’s a good thing I’m between gigs right now. We are limited to 3 products per day (under $100), even that’s a chore because most products are nothing we are interested in reviewing. I am having a hard time imagining what it’s going to be like ordering 8 products per day (no $$ limit). I do have a vision but it involves multiple remote-controlled cameras in a dedicated studio environment.

We have set up a studio in the dining room and when we’re in the zone, things go pretty fast. I have a half dozen reviews in the can right now, and I should be working on those instead of this. The pile of products that are unboxed on the floor is growing. I really need to get caught up!

The sun is coming up and I need to get to work. Today is going to be a busy one to be sure. On top of everything else going on, it looks like I’m back in the web mastering business picking up 4 new websites plus the few I’m working on for myself. I’m going to have to work 20-hour days for a while.

Old habits die hard. (grin)
