How I Made $129.92 in 48 Hours From My eCommerce Author Shopify Store

No launch. No discounts. Just slow-burn storyselling.

I almost didn’t notice it.

Two small payouts hit my business account—one day after the next. At first glance? Nothing to shout about. But when I paused and added it up?

$129.92 in 48 hours.

All from my Shopify store.

No email push. No big launch. No discount code. And definitely no dancing on Instagram. Just… the quiet ripple effect of systems doing their thing.

What Actually Sold?

Order 1:

A bundle from my Affirmations collection:

• The book

• The workbook

• A sticker

(Proof that small-but-powerful products stack up when they align with your message.)

Order 2:

A surprise purchase from one of my “Character” Collections:

• A mug

• A sweatshirt

• A t-shirt

• A journal

(Across formats, still carrying the same voice.)

Both orders came in days after I wrapped my first Serial Fiction Reader Event, and just as I was beginning to experiment with higher-paid Pinterest ads. I wasn’t even actively promoting those funnels.

And yet… 💥

What This Taught Me

1. Your ecosystem is always working, especially when it feels quiet. That’s the gift of building systems instead of moments. The story kept working even when I wasn’t watching.

2. You don’t need to shout to sell. What you need is emotional alignment, authentic positioning, and a funnel that reflects your actual voice.

3. Pinterest is a slow-burn superpower. Those small ad experiments? They’re paying for themselves. Quietly. Efficiently. Like a secret weapon in plain sight.

Why I’m Sharing This

Because too many authors think success only looks like .99 cents viral book launches or viral videos.

But I’m here to tell you:

$129.92 in 48 hours from your own store hits different, especially when it’s built on integrity, alignment, and freedom.

I’m not scaling fast. I’m scaling deep.

And this moment was a tiny reminder that…

It’s working.

Next week, I'm sharing exactly how I built the store that generates these quiet wins. Your story is your strategy. Let it sell quietly.
