Affiliate Marketing Secrets

I worked at a regular job from Jan.-May of this year, and earned roughly $4,500 from that job. Starting in April I also started generating income from the web.. ebay, affiliate programs, etc. I have averaged $500/month since June.. leaving me with (so far) $6,500; With a projected income of about $9k-$10k for this year.
When I filed my return last year, I made 15k (before taxes) and got a refund of around 6k (for my EIC).. so I know I won’t be expecting close to that amount this year because I didn’t make as much money, but.. will my self-employed earnings count towards my EIC payout as income? Or will they only count the earnings I made at my regular job?
If I continue to be self-employed and it is my only income for the next year, will I still be eligible for EIC next year?
From what I understand I will file schedule SE with my 1040? Anyone with any advice, I’d greatly appreciate it. This will be my first time ever having to file taxes like this.

I have a desire to become a small business owner and even bigger later on down the line. Majoring in business..I’m really anxious to start my own, profitable online business. I don’t care if I’m only seeing 20-30 a month lol for a while, just to know that im seeing some sort of cash flow lies room for improvement to make more money.. I want to know..which websites are the best hosts? Which ones make it easier to sell things? Can i sell there products and make money off them? Affiliate marketing??Etc, etc, etc..I don’t have much money to start..I don’t really know what I want to create my site off of, what products to sell etc. All i know is i would like to sell electronics, tech stuff, accessories, etc. Anything else actually that I could create a profit with that’s not so hard. Ive heard of soo many different sites that I can join and start selling there products and make money that way. Anyone know of the best or if that’s a good idea? Help please

I realize this is a bit early for Christmas shopping, but I didn’t have much money to invest in thoughtful gifts for loved ones last year, so I want to do it right this year. My boyfriend is a die-hard Red Sox fan, and he’s mentioned offhandedly that he’d like a documentary and/or box set affiliated with the Red Sox. So, my question is for fellow Red Sox fans. Which is a must-have in your collection, that you think he would be absolutely psyched to receive?
Any info/link is helpful, but I work for Amazon (and get a discount), so that would be even better.

So I fee I am starting to get to the age where I need to start dressing a bit more mature!!! And while I most. def do dress well, designer sneakers, dress shoes, etc etc, I sometimes like to stay hip with some high top kicks and v necks.
So I was just wondering at what age should I start to phase those kinds of things out? Is 29 too old to still be wearing NIKE’s?
WHat should I wear instead that will still look good? I only have so much money to spend on clothes! HAHA
Ok thanks everyone!!!
The link to the kicks I just got, for Vegas for the most part lol
