I Tried Turning $0 into $10k Online Challenge (Part 1)

chances are you've already probably seen more than one YouTube challenge video out there where somebody tries to start with a very small object or a dollar and work slash trade the way up to a much more significant amount or just a high-value object like an iPhone I believe this whole trend was made famous by a guy named Kyle McDonald who traded his way up from a small paperclip all the way up to a whole house but no matter where this trend started from I'm personally a big fan of these videos and being that I run an online drop shipping business and also make videos here on YouTube about how other people can do the same thing I want to try this challenge out but with all these videos the person who makes it usually starts out by going out on the street and selling lemonade or going to the mall and trying to trade the way out from a small object there but the year is 2020 baby we're gonna get with the times in this video we're gonna try to do this whole 0 to 10,000 dollar challenge all from the comfort of being posted up here in the zoo with just a computer and an internet connection yo what's good guys it's your boy be hesitant for me personally the stokke level for this video is incredibly high I'm really excited to be doing this challenge I already kind of explain what we're gonna be doing but in a nutshell we're gonna try to start with $0 and work your way up to $10,000 only using my computer and an internet connection so let's go ahead and get into our first plan of attack and this was actually kind of difficult to think of you don't really have much options when you're starting with $0 online my first thought was to put up some listings on Fiverr for graphic design work saying that I can do some logo design for people or website design the problem with that is that you're not going to get any orders and it might take weeks before you actually get your first order so I don't really want to wait that long I thought about signing up some of those survey websites where they paid took these super long surveys but the problem with that is that it's probably gonna take me like 12 hours to get our first $5 I don't really want to go that route and spend 12 hours doing surveys I even considered downloading the sweat coin app which mames to pay you for walking but I looked up some YouTube videos on it and this apparently somebody did the math and it's gonna take you like four years of walking ten miles per day to get $1000 and only then can you take the money out of the app so that's not really gonna be an option for us so instead of all of these options the route that we are gonna take is I guess you can call it affiliate marketing I'm not sure if it falls exactly under the umbrella but here's the plan there's a stock market investing app called weeble which you can download and used to invest into the stock market or different equities now this isn't an ad read the reason I bring this up is because they have this referral scheme going where if you download the app and open count with them you get a special link which you can then send to people and if somebody uses your link to open up an account they get a free stock worth up to five hundred dollars and so do you the person who referred them and also I think once that person deposits their first hundred dollars they can also get a free stock range from anywhere from I think twelve dollars to up to a thousand dollars so this is kind of weebles way of acquiring new customers and I'm all for it I've left my referral link in the description of some of my videos and you guys actually use it sign up and you got free stocks and I got free stocks which is cool it's just kind of fun to see what you get it's kind of like a lottery scratcher ticket except you don't pay for it and you're guaranteed to win something I'll put my referral link in the description of this video again if any of you guys want to try it out but remember one of the rules for this video is that I can't use my YouTube platform in order to earn money for this video series so none of that applies instead I'm gonna start from scratch here and just send this link to some friends and family but which makes this sound like a pyramid scheme but it's not it's just a referral bonus other brokerages do too but from what I've seen weevil has the highest paying stocks that you can win so we're gonna go with weevil for this video we're gonna be using some very advanced level 100 sales tactics here the first message is gonna go out to my boy I'm gonna bleep out his name though because clown ain't free baby Jeff Bezos Bill Gates Barack Obama Warren Buffett what do these people have in common other than their good looks they invest into stocks and now to put the cherry on top and close this deal I'm gonna put in the stock referral message that Weibo gives you send that this message is now to another person I got two words for you passive income stock market investing and then we're gonna finish it off again by putting the stock or referral thing that the Weeble gives you feel like that looks pretty good let's move on to the next person bro I'm begging you please sign up so I can get free stock send and then once again we're gonna finish off with a stock referral link that we believes you boom okay that's enough of that I sent out some more messages off-camera and I guess I'll check back in tomorrow to see how many people actually sign up and see what kind of free stocks we got I'll see you then okay okay so I got three people to sign up using my link which is gonna equal to three free stocks so let's get into those and after finding out that I'm using a text messaging Conroe for this video somebody even said schmuck give me royalties so which I replied no contract no royalties that's showbiz baby the very first talk we got was taker is DC worth the $11.97 then I opened the second one it was also the same exact stock is bc for hello' in a decent sense I'm not complaining we're already at almost $24 and then the final one was the Sprint stock for five dollars a 19 cents so that's gonna be a total of 29 dollars and 13 cents and now to get these free stocks out of weeble and sell them and get them into your bank account would actually take a few days until everything settles on the money transfers I don't want to wait that long so we're just gonna use that 29 dollars and 13 cents as our starting budget for the next online money-making business but this next thing that I want to get into some print-on-demand action which we're gonna advertise to Instagram theme pages now if you don't know how print-on-demand works you basically create a design upload it to a website called printful and on there you can put that design on a t-shirt or a bunch of different merchandise and then you advertise the t-shirt as you're designing it or a beach towel or bumper sticker whatever it is you advertise that product and when somebody purchases let's say that t-shirt with your design on it printful is gonna go ahead and print the designer and t-shirt and send it out directly to your customer so the only thing you're gonna be doing is making the design other than the marketing and advertising portion of this you don't have any upfront cost the website actually prints your t-shirt on demand they don't have an inventory of it which makes it a really cool opportunity if you don't have much money to start off with I did some brainstorming and what I can actually use for the design of this t-shirt and I have a video on my youtube channel where I started the same type of business a print-on-demand business but at the time the whole raid area51 thing was a popular meme so i went ahead and made a t-shirt for that and we did get some sales so in this video i'm gonna take the same route and also do a meme and when i was thinking about this somehow the okay boomer meme that's been going on we crossed my mind so i think we're gonna go with that if you haven't heard of that meme i'm sorry to tell you but you're probably a boomer I'm just kidding but we're gonna use the okay boomer meme for this t-shirt I'm gonna design something it's not gonna be anything too fancy but I'll see what I can come up with and I'll check back in with you guys when that's ready okay so we are back and for the design of the shirt here's what I did I sent an okay boomer text on my phone screenshotted remove the and photoshopped slapped it on the hoodie and t-shirt and then created a website for it through teespring I told you guys I was gonna use printful earlier however after I tried out the platform I found out that it's just the fulfillment service so you have to connect it to a different platform for the actual website such as Shopify whereas with teespring you can do everything on the same website so you can upload the design have a fulfill to have all the payments go through and build a website all through teespring and it's all free so that's why I chose to go the teespring route here's how the website actually looks like it's fairly simple I have a hoodie here and a shirt hopefully I sell more of the hoodies because my profit margins on that are a lot higher think I earn around 20 or 30 dollars before the hoodie in profit and for the shirt it's only like 11 so I'm shooting to sell more hoodies here than t-shirts and the customer can select whatever size they want they can choose whether they were wanted in white or black I think the white looks better just because it looks more like the text message feed so it just looks like you're wearing a text message feed on you so I'd go with the white personally if I was buying it and then you can add it to cart proceed to checkout and then the customer can input all their information in here and ship it to their house now to advertise the hoodie and the t-shirt I'm gonna be using two separate Instagram mean pages and remember my budget here is pretty minimal I only have twenty nine dollars and 13 cents I think 13 cents to pay for these ads but here's the convoy I had with the first theme page I told them I'm looking for a 24-hour feed post advertising a t-shirt that says okay boomer and a link in bio how much do they charge they said $30 I said I'm working with a pretty small budget can you do it for 15 they said no I can do 20 if you send the payment right now so I said that works what's your paypal they send me the paypal I sent them the screenshot of me sending them the money and then I also send them the caption I want them to use the link in bio and the three posts I want them to post in a carousel so for the first post in the carousel I'm gonna have them post this okay boomer meme and then the second one is the hoodie and the third is gonna be a picture of the t-shirt so after I send them that they went ahead and posted it right away which was great so that advertisement is live now for the second main page I send them the same exact message that you know back to me a little later saying they want $20 to be a cash app I said would you take $9 that's all I got to spend on this ad they said I can do 15 at the lowest so I hit him with that oh okay let me know change your mind so they said the Lu $9 for 12 hours I said okay deal send me your PayPal and I'll pay right now and then they hate me with that I only got cash up and send me their cash up username now I always say in my videos when you're doing stuff like this you always got to pay through PayPal goods and services because then of this versus kami I could easily dispute it on PayPal and get my money back however I didn't take my own advice here and figured because this is a fairly small mean page and there it's only nine dollars I'm gonna cash up them so I send them the payment as you can see I send them the screenshot here for the payment then I send them the same exact thing I sent to the other page which is the post the caption and the link and bio now the problem is this page hasn't gotten back to me so I don't know we might have gone scammed here I should have taken my own advice and just send it through PayPal but if we were to get scammed I wouldn't be concerned about the amount of money here but it would suck pretty bad because it is money that we earned through this challenge so I don't know we'll see what happens with that on by the way the page that I paid $20 for and actually put up the post has 69 thousand followers and then the other page that hasn't put the post up yet has 24 thousand followers so I mean that's that I guess I'm pretty much done for today I'm gonna go ahead and wait this through and see what happens tonight and during the day tomorrow and I'll check back in within 24 hours to see if the other page actually posted the post or not and to see if we got any sales from the ad that's already up so I'll see you guys then okay so it hasn't been a full 24 hours just yet it's only 4:30 6 p.m. so that's only been about 18 or 19 hours I think so the pages that I kept $9 - still hasn't responded to me or put up the post but I'm gonna give them the benefit of the doubt because to be fair we didn't agree on when the post had to go up beforehand and also they haven't posted anything sort of the story or their feed in the last 24 hours so they might have just not have logged in and since the last time we spoke but honestly even if we got scammed I'm not mad because look at the sales we got from the ad that day to go up as you can see we sold a total of five products which equals to about 74 dollars profit I think we sold one hoodie and four t-shirts and I'll go ahead and refresh the page for you guys here but 5 products sold not bad at all 74 dollars profit and I'll go ahead and go into the analytics here as well let that load up as you can see five orders made five units sold for a total profit of 74 dollars and 46 cents if I remember we didn't profit 74 dollars on top of the 29 we already had we spent $29 on advertisements so we basically made our 29 bag and then around $45 on top of that bringing our new budget to 74 dollars to be exact at 74 dollars and 59 cents because remember we had 13 cents left over from the stuff we did with weeble I'm definitely happy with this new budget this is great given the success of this first ad I'm not gonna move on too new business just yet instead I'm gonna go ahead and rinse and repeat this process with new pages and build up some more capital before we go ahead and move on to a new business and I don't think I'm gonna film every step of the way with these next few ads as I did with the last two just because that would get really repetitive and really boring really quickly so instead I'm just gonna take some screenshots when I'm setting up the ads and then in a few days I'm gonna do a summary or I might just do a voiceover something but either way I'll see you guys in the next update so with this 74 dollars I went ahead and purchased two new shout outs from two different pages one was $40 the other was $20 so I spent $60 and had $14 leftover these posts did fairly well and brought in $137 in sale profits making our new total budget one hundred and fifty one dollars and this is gonna make things kind of confusing but teespring only counts the profits I'm making t-shirts not the money I spent on ads so I'm only putting up the teespring screenshots as proof there aren't actually an indicator of our new budget as you can see here we now have two hundred eleven dollars according to teespring but they don't count the ads so really our budget is a hundred fifty one dollars at this point now the next day I only set up one post paid $43 for it and unfortunately that post completely flunked I only got one sale equaling $11 profit so I lost $32 there the teespring screenshot shows two hundred twenty two dollars profit but our actual budget was now only a hundred and nineteen dollars now for this next part I said no risk no rari baby and I took a huge risk one of the owners of the theme pages that hit up told me that a total of three pages they could sell me a shout out on I looked through all of them the engagement was great solid followers they wanted $150 for a 24-hour post on all of them she didn't get it we agreed on $100 so I sent over almost all the money I've earned through this challenge thus far and hoped for the best and things actually worked out very well we got another two hundred ninety seven dollars in sales from these shoutouts so teespring number total screenshot here is five hundred nineteen dollars my remember that's only shirt profits not accounting for ads really our new budget is three hundred sixteen dollars three hundred and sixty dollars this challenge is off to a great start we are gonna go ahead enough to end things here for this video though because I have to get it uploaded and I'm really not sure when the next part of this is gonna come out because this video took me over a week to make so I don't know I'm probably gonna upload videos in between parts of this series but I think I'm done with print-on-demand for an hour at least the version of print demand that we were doing in this video and in the next part of this year's we're gonna go ahead and jump into a new online business opportunity that side to seriously let me know in the comments if you guys actually continue this series if you don't really vibe with it I won't continue with it I'll just think of this as a failed pilot episode of a show if you will at no big deal and also please I'm begging you have a blessed or History Day [Music]
