Chasing the Dream - Crawl, Walk, Run, Then Fly

We've started at the bottom, like a lot of people do, with our goal being to chase the dream until we can fly. To follow along with us on our journey, start at the bottom of the page. Our most recent endeavors are sitting pretty at the top, just like we intend to be.

TikTok Shop for Creator

We received free samples in exchange for creating a video with the product, or featuring the product in a live. We ordered just a few to start and posted videos, and then Derick went live promoting some products we didn't even physically have. He did so well that we are really wishing we had known about this sooner. The commissions there are to be made are absolutely mind-blowing.

AI Coloring Books

Derick looked into the Midjourney AI Generator and found he could use it to create very nice coloring pages. Along with a photo editing app, Canva, and a vectoring app, he actually created an awesome Baby Monster coloring book.

It took a little figuring out, but he was able to format it correctly for Amazon and actually put the book up for sale.

Shopify, eBay, Etsy

We tried dropshipping, with Shopify. It didn't work out, but it absolutely looks like it could work with the right strategy. We spent some time in Michigan's upper penisula, gathering quite a few yooperlite stones. We sold some on eBay, but truthfully, these things are so beautiful that we find it hard to part with them. Now we're near Quartzsite. We have access to affordable crafting supplies, and we have listed some items on Etsy.

Biking and Blogging

We decided the other day to get some bikes. We're going to plan a few trips, see some awesome sights, search for a little bit of gold, and blog about it all. We think it should be a whole lot of fun and hopefully interesting for people to read, especially since we'll be bringing along our kitty, Penelope. Update: Who could have known that we would actually be homeless for months on these bikes. We'll share the story soon.

Creating Websites/Blogs

Creating our make money online page made me think about the money we currently get from Adsense ads on Nicholas Academy and by CLC.
Creating websites and blogs is just so easy to do, and we're going to try to do a lot more of that. HostGator has everything we've ever needed to get our sites up and running.
With just a little bit of creativity, we could easily begin to multiply our income.

HostGator
Make Money Online

Everything that we do to make money online will eventually be listed on our make money online page.
We created two of these pages--one for each of our current websites.
The link above is for byclc.com, with our lists of sites arranged by category.

The other page is on Nicholas Academy: Make Money Online, with the list of places we earn money from arranged alphabetically.

Trading and Holding Crypto

Just like trading stocks, trading crypto is all about timing. Sometimes we nail it, sometimes we don't, but one thing we are certain of--investing in crypto is a really good idea right now.
Coinbase is so easy to use for depositing, withdrawing, and even spending crypto right from our debit cards. The dream, of course, is one day not to need to spend it, but for now, it is an incredibly useful feature.

Coinbase
DerCher's Miner 2

This one is just like the first one. And the Coin app is so easy to use! We only have to make sure the phones are charged and the app is on.

Derick tested out the subscription with his Coin app and he is making much more, but his phone is not idle. For the phones just sitting there, basically mining the same spot, we are not taking advantage of the subscription.

Mode App

We invested in a tablet that didn't work out too well. It actually won't run the Coin App at all. And so we loaded the Mode App onto it. With Mode, you earn for various things, such as listening to music and playing games. We easily got it up to $20 and cashed out to PayPal, just to see if it works without problems. It does. We can also get a Mode phone with our points and earn even more from the app.

Mode App
Dashing and Sparking

This is one of the quickest ways to get cash, usually for bills, or dinner, or jeep repairs, but lately we've been doing a little extra for investing in our future. DoorDash deposits funds as soon as you finish your schedule.

Occassionally, when there are really nice incentives being offered, we will also deliver groceries with Walmart Spark. It pays us weekly.

Qdoba
DerCher's Miner 1

We've added the Nodle Cash app and the Coin app to our iPad and they are both doing really well. We decided it would be a good move to expand our miner capabilities. This is the beginning of our phone farm.

We bought this Samsung Galaxy phone at Walmart for only fifty dollars. It's working out beautifully and should pay for itself in about two months.

Nodle

We are using the Nodle Cash app to collect Nodle tokens and save them as an investment for the future. The app runs quietly in the background, barely using any power at all.

Nodle is a decentralized network made up of millions of smartphones. We are “nodes”, participating in the network and earning rewards in return.

Nodle App
Coin

With the Coin app, we can mine digital coins and then trade the coins we collect for XYO crypto. We can hold onto the cryptocurrency as an investment, or we can convert it to cash.

This app is so simple to use and the earning potential is just crazy. We have some serious plans for Coin. Stay tuned!

Atlas Earth

With Atlas Earth, we can build an empire of virtual real estate and earn rent for our land for as long as the app is doing this sort of thing. It takes patience and time to build it up, but eventually it will be earning us semi-passive income on a regular basis.

I'm also using my profile picture and username as a way to bring more people to byclc.com.

Chasing the Dream

The dream for us is to live the life we want, while helping all of our family and friends to also live the lives they want.

It's not much we're asking, as Queen might say. We want it all. And we want it now. And this is how we're doing it.

Chasing the Dream
Atlas Earth

Derick sent me this app. You earn real cash rent on virtual property. The first thing I thought about, of course, was how I could use it to get more people to know about MeowMeow.
I used her picture as my profile pic and I used byclc_dot_com as my username.

Little Girl MeowMeow is Lost

She was last seen on June 27, 2021 at the Sherman Summit Rest Area on I-80 in Wyoming.
We believe she was picked up by someone and taken home with them.

She could be anywhere. Please look for her.

I put a lot of love into this video. I miss MeowMeow so much. You can see the tiktok version here: See You Again. Please share it.

Our Little Girl could be living in the house right next door to you. Please keep an eye out for her.
