Real Covered Call Income Example: $914 in April So Far
A simple breakdown of how to generate consistent weekly income selling Covered Calls on stocks like Netflix and Nvidia
Hey friend,
All month, I’ve explained how to generate income with Covered Calls.
Today, I’ll share my results so far in April.
Why?
Because I’ve been getting paid consistently for 16 weeks, and I know it will also work for you in a stable, growing market.
Here are the numbers…
The Setup
Keeping things simple, I focused on two companies in April:
Nvidia
Netflix
💡 Pro Tip: Remember to invest in companies you believe in and wouldn’t mind holding. This is very important as it minimizes your risk of market swings or other unforeseen events.

Week 1: Getting Started
My first trade in April was unexpected.
I purchased 100 shares of Netflix at a good price, fully intending to run a covered call strategy. But before I could sell the option call, the stock rose.
Realizing that it rose to a resistance level, I sold them for a profit, collecting $205.69.
Week 2: Nvidia Calls
My second trade in April was different from the rest. Instead of selling a covered call, I exited the Nvidia call option I bought a month earlier after the stock declined 15%.
It made a small profit. $65.32. Not a remarkable number, but remarkability isn’t the goal. Generating a consistent profit is.
I rolled the profit into my core strategy of Covered Calls the following week.
Then I went right back to selling covered calls for weekly income.
Week 2: Netflix Covered Calls
The following Monday, on April 13th, I sold a covered call against Netflix and immediately collected $324.17.
Two days later, on April 15th, I sold another and collected $319.17.
My total Netflix revenue that week was $643.34.
💡 Pro Tip: You can sell many covered calls against the same company. If you see a great setup and own enough shares to sell multiple options, take advantage of it when the opportunity’s there.
Total Revenue (So Far)
So far—just a few weeks into the month—here’s what the total looks like:
Nvidia: $65.32
Netflix: $205.69
Netflix: $319.17
Netflix: $324.17
👉 Total: $914.35
And the month isn’t over.
What This Actually Shows
Typical stock traders measure their success by the size of their wins. I used to be one of them. But honestly, 10x+ wins are rare, and it’s hard to be consistent when speculating.
Basically, I believe we were all using the wrong measuring stick.
In this game, success is about whether you can build an income strategy that’s consistent, low risk, and simple enough to do under almost any market condition.
Keep getting paid,
