That "cottage food license" part is the big thing people skip. I saw a youtube video where a lady broke down her jam sales and after jars, fruit, and labels she was making like 4 bucks an hour. So the $900 could be real but that's sales, not profit.

Read a tip somewhere about setting a monthly alarm to clear out screenshots and blurry pics. The idea is you spend like 5 minutes instead of letting it pile up to thousands. I tried it for a couple months and it actually works pretty well once it becomes a habit. Makes the whole thing way less of a headache.

That low heat trick works, but watch for warped plastic connectors.
