Hello,
Can you believe another month has flown by?
This year feels like it’s speeding up!
I think it’s all thanks to AI. It’s making our lives easier and faster, at least mine, and I bet yours too.
With AI, I can finish tasks quickly and then jump into the next thing on my list.
Each day brings new AI tools and ideas, and I’m always finding exciting stuff on Twitter.
(yes, I still call it Twitter, even if it’s now called X. I guess I’m just old-school like that 😅).
There’s so much to learn and experiment with, especially when it’s useful for what I do.
I just code, prompt AI to write it, fix it, and then push it to git repo and production.
(If that sounds like a foreign language, no worries…)
A few months back, I started a SaaS blog to share my adventures in AI and SaaS: tinysaaslab.com.
I haven’t posted since March 30, 2025…I know…but I’ll share more about my projects soon. You can subscribe to stay updated.
Now, let’s get into what this email is really about:
PODtomatic’s results.
Recently, we launched:
- Walmart Integration
- Shopify Integration
Some of our members are already making sales on Walmart, which is fantastic.
I’m thrilled to see it working.
About 10% of our users have connected Walmart to PODtomatic, and already, some are seeing results.
I know getting a Walmart Seller account can be tough since it requires having an LLC. That might explain why the results come in quickly for those who do.
There are way fewer sellers on Walmart compared to Amazon or Etsy.
Those who take action get results. It’s that simple.
We also rolled out Shopify a few weeks ago. I shared an idea about making passive sales on Shopify with PODtomatic products.
About 10% have connected Shopify too, and some are seeing a few sales.
Now, let’s dive into April’s Report.
Here’s what we accomplished in April 2025:
(Screenshot taken on May 1, 2025)
We hit 352 sales for our members, bringing in around $10,000 in sales. That’s super close to last month’s 355 sales.
Here’s our sales trend since we launched PODtomatic AI:
2024:
- April: 103 sales
- May: 235 sales
- June: 227 sales
- July: 173 sales
- August: 250 sales
- September: 255 sales
- October: 402 sales
- November: 1,129 sales
- December: 2,124 sales
2025:
- January: 318 sales
- February: 287 sales
- March: 355 sales
- April: 352 sales
Let’s see if PODtomatic AI can beat its May results.
We also crossed $183k in total sales.

Here are my PODtomatic account stats:
(This screenshot was taken on May 1, 2025)
So far, PODtomatic has uploaded 67,748 products for me, leading to 233 sales worth about $6,686.23.
Here’s how my sales broke down each month:
March - 6 sales
April - 8 sales
May - 14 sales
June - 14 sales
**July - 8 sales **(one order with 3 units!)
August - 8 sales (one order with 4 units!)
September - 10 sales
October: 19 sales (one order with 5 units!)
November: 50 sales (many orders with multiple units… I’m too lazy to check ;P)
**December 2024: **37 sales (I lost by box this month 😔)
January 2025: 13 sales
**February 2025: **16 sales
March 2025: 18 sales
**April 2025: **13 sales
This April almost doubled last year’s sales.
Fingers crossed we keep that up (I already got one sale this morning).
Oh, and I forgot to mention: I received one BIG order of coffee mugs last month.
One order, 20 coffee mugs, $299 in sales, and $108 in profit.
Not too bad. This product was uploaded years ago and has brought me thousands in sales.
Speaking of big orders, I also got a $1,000 order from my Shopify store.
(Not trying to brag, but since we’re on the topic of big orders, I thought it was worth mentioning! :P)
On Shopify, it’s common to get larger orders because customers browse through many products in your store.
Alright, that’s the update for now.
The Amazon Audit isn’t finished yet. They need my team to add some extra layers to PODtomatic to make the data more secure.
Sigh…time to get back to the nitty-gritty work.

P.S. My new SaaS is almost finished. It’s a social media scheduler for products in my Shopify stores.
I used another scheduling tool before, but I still needed AI to write text for my posts, save product images, and insert them into the scheduling tool.
Even though I could schedule 10-20 posts in an hour, I was still too lazy to do it…
Now, I can just enter the URLs of my product pages, click a button, and let the system pull the images and let AI write the text for me.
Then, I just review, approve, and schedule the posts.
It’s all set now. I’ve used it to create hundreds of posts for my stores.
I’ll share how I built it on my SaaS blog soon.
So, make sure to subscribe.
