I Tried Turning $0 into $10k Online Challenge (Part 2)

this video is part 2 of a series in which I started from absolute scratch from $0 and I'm working towards building that up all the way up to $10,000 only using my computer and an internet connection in the previous video which was part 1 of this challenge we started from $0 and worked our way up to 316 dollars if you want to find out exactly what I did to achieve this you can go ahead and watch the previous video but all you really need to know is that we ended off at 316 dollars so that's gonna be our starting budget for this video and we're gonna see just how far we can take it so what's good guys it's your boy be hesitating this whole video series challenge a little bit ahead of real time since these videos are taking a lot of time to make just because there's a lot of waiting involved there's a lot of work involved with what I'm doing so hopefully you guys enjoyed the first part of this challenge I'm not really sure if you did because I'm starting on the second part before getting the first one up but either way let's get further into this challenge and talk about our plan moving forward with the $316 burn in the previous video my original plan was to go ahead and apply to a number of different colleges I think college applications around 50 dollars each so I was going to apply to six different colleges and then go ahead and spend the next four are around four years of this challenge on acquiring a bachelor's degrees here we would go from there but then I realized that similarly to business tycoon and top paid athlete Floyd Mayweather I can't stand up comedy tour tickets on sale first link in the description just kidding that's a link to my full job stripping course still poppin still available what a great ad read this message were sponsored by B hazard no but in all seriousness after acquiring that three hundred sixteen dollars I decided to go ahead and spend it on purchasing an Instagram theme page I've talked about this in some of my previous video this is something actually used to do I used to buy Instagram themed pages and then sell them for more and I have actually bought pages under the budget that we currently have that so I have bought them under three hundred sixteen dollars so I knew that it was possible however this is a risky maneuver not only is buying and selling Instagram pages against instagrams rules and guidelines on top of that people whenever you're doing this people are out there to scam you they want to take your money and not give you the password so if you ever decide to do this please keep them in mind and do so at your own risk but that said right after I stopped doing print andaman in the last video I got straight into the page searching process I kind of thought of a few potential niches I may want a page in and I started damming a ridiculous amount of pages and I'm talking on DM 15 different pages nobody responded to me and I gave up on this whole thing I'm talking I got action blocked by Instagram from sending DMS multiple times I sent a ridiculous amount of DMS out I am very dedicated to this challenge and although a ton of people didn't responded the people that did wanted outrageous amounts of money for their pages some of the deals fell through last minute and I got ghosted right as we were about to close this deal and come up with a price I eventually did find a page that had a little over 40,000 followers and it was in the kind of women's health and beauty niche here's our full DM conversation I wrote this top message to do it filming this video not sure why but I thought that it would be a great idea to do an incredibly detailed - play-by-play description of this entire DM conversation going into extreme detail watching your back it's very monotonous so I'll just go ahead and summarize what happened I negotiated with the owner and we agreed on $300 for the page I then got the name of their personal Instagram page as an extra form of communication and then started talking to them through that and then asked if they could also give me the passwords of the original email that the account was created with they said they could that was great news since otherwise they can use the email they originally created the account would just switch the password back after receiving the money I send them so at this point but sent 300 dollars through PayPal goods and services to the owner of the pages screenshotted it told them that the payment was sent and they replied with a password and I was able to log in after getting the password I went ahead and changed it on the Instagram page as well as the email associated with the page so that the page was completely mine as you can see I'm now logged into the profile I can change the username and for wan-soo it's all here and the trippy thing is this person didn't delete any of their previous DM so I can go into those there's a bunch of conversations here even the one I had with the owner before the page was sold so it's super tricky because I'm looking at the conversation I had with a previous owner of this page from the perspective of the owners but yeah let me show you guys then engaged in this page kids and we're talking 5,000 posts on this latest post there's only posted 22 hours ago so it's not a good example but the previous one four days ago 33,000 likes we got 25,000 40,000 26,000 these are all likes on a page that only has 43,000 followers I mean that's insane that a lot of these posts are hitting the explore page they're getting a ton of attractions on there this page is exploding so I am very happy with the page we got do we got it for a good deal it has great engagement but might be wondering what am I gonna do with this page my whole grand scheme with purchasing and Instagram theme page for this challenge was to one to get a page then create a drop shipping store for it and go ahead and advertise a product through this page for free and then sell the page for a profit or at least get our money back and walk away with some absolutely free advertising we already bought a page so that brings us to phase 2 that rhymes call me to but yeah I'm gonna go ahead and start working on the drop shipping side of things I'm gonna find a product build a website for it create a video ad and then we're gonna go ahead and use the page we bought as advertising so I'll see you guys probably in a day or two once I'm done with all the drop shipping stuff and I'm ready to launch it on our page II a sport it's been three days welcome back it's been a few days but I got pretty much everything that's to do with a drawstring portion side of things ready here so I don't want to waste any time we're gonna go ahead and pop right into this I found in Aliexpress part of the thing can work pretty well with the audience of the page that we just purchased I'll put up a video of how it works but it's essentially a portable dry cleaning steamer device that takes out wrinkles from clothes now this is a gender-neutral product however I know two people who own dry cleaning system in real life and they're both female so I think this can work very well with the audience of the page that we just purchased since the page mostly consists of females who are interested in beauty because it is a beauty page they're interested in beauty they want to look their best this product will help them look their best I mean you pull up to the scene in a wrinkle free garment that is an absolute hard legs and you're bound to look your best wow I'm in the wrong business here I know should have been a rapper but anyways here's the Shopify website that I built for this product I called the website and so sounds kind of cool and the domain was available calm now if you remember our starting budget for this video was 316 dollars I spent 300 of that on the Instagram page so I had 16 left over and now I spent 14 of that on this domain.com so I have the domain for a year now so we only have $2.00 left but that's okay because everything else on this website here is a free trial I put in my card on chop five but they don't charge you until the 14 day free trial that you get with when you sign up for Shopify is over so even the apps on here everything is a free trial i didn't go above the limit of $360 in fact we still have those two dollars left now when you scroll down you can see the price here $64.99 you might think that's a lot but keep in mind that this party has a pretty high perceived value the non portable dry cleaning machines you put in your home those things can cost upwards of a thousand dollars so $64.99 for a portable one that's not too bad of a deal but anyways let me show you the rest of the website I got a product description here then I got another product image and all of the images on my website were from the Aliexpress listing that the seller provided they were pretty high quality and they look nice they're gonna arrange nicely so that was really cool I got a ton of images I could use scroll down I got some more features and benefits I got a picture of a person holding the product which is also cool then I explained how to use the product and then we got the customer reviews that I imported it straight from Aliexpress people really liked this product now Express you can see I even have some picture reviews here so that's pretty much the whole website here nice and simple looks clean it looks nice it's got solid reviews that's it for the website now I did create an ad for this product using submitters the supplier provided and just product demonstrations I found online or not I combined a bunch of those videos and that's what I'm going to use for my ad I want to show you guys the ad however I can't do that whenever I've done this type of thing in the past on my channel and I showed my ad copy inside of the video there's a ton of people who just screwed me coordinate or coffee'd they had word-for-word and used it as their own and I can't really have that happening with this advertisement because I might have to use it further down in this series so I don't want people just to steal it and use it as their own completely saturate the market with it again I'm not really sure when this video is gonna go up so maybe I'm already done with this whole challenge by the time this video is uploaded but I'm gonna play it safe and I'll show the ad in this video maybe I will though in like the final episode of the series so that's that I already posted the ad on our page before sitting down so film this video so it's already live and I'm gonna continue posting it until the ad completely dries up so I'm gonna mix in some regular Beauty content that the people of the page already used to seeing as well as my advertisement and like between posts until the ad completely dries up and I'm not getting any more sales and then at that point I'll probably start looking into selling the page for a profit but that's the vibe check for eye now I'll probably check in with you guys tomorrow though to show you how the ad performed and if we got any sales from it also trigger warning I'm probably gonna use the iPhone alarm clock sound as a transition for this next part so get ready for some early morning PTSD [Music] so as you can see we got 205 dollars in sales yesterday after I posted the ad and then today we got 194 dollars in total sales and 97 cents but if you look closely you can see that we got three orders both days however yesterday there is I think one or two orders that came from California being that I'm in California have to charge sales tax on people who purchase in California so that's why the amount on yesterday was more even though we all had the same amount of orders so this product is a winner confirmed all these sales are from a single ad that I put up on the page we purchased when I took the post down the advertisement that I put up I think was that around 83,000 views I'll put it up over here but we haven't broken even just yet though I did the math here and to actually ship out the orders to the customers who purchased for me and the processing fees I'm coming out with a total profit of 246 dollars after I deduct all the expensives so our total budget clean pure profit for right now is 246 dollars after this first advertisement has gone up but I already posted the ad against keep this gravy train going and flowing and the plan is to basically post a piece of beauty content on the page and then the ad and then keep on repeating that for a few days until the sales kind of slowed down at which point the plan is to actually go ahead and sell the page this wouldn't really be a good idea long term since it's a little spammy with how much I'm posting the ad and on top of that I can make way more money with this page where to continue running it and posting an ad here and there but the thing is is the goal of my video is to make as much money as quickly as possible so that's why we are gonna kind of spam this page with ads and then go ahead and sell it so I already started the process for selling this page by DMing a bunch of big pages in the beauty niche I'm talking pages that have like six hundred thousand over a million followers in the space and I'm asking them if they're interested in purchasing our page which they are I already have a few people interested so selling the page for what we got it for will not be a problem however I am trying to walk away here with more than just free advertising and I want to sell it for like a hundred or maybe two hundred dollars more than what we bought it for we'll see if that happens but yeah I'll check back in in a few days maybe I'll even give the page sold by then I'm not sure if I can do it that quickly we'll see what happens either way I'll see you guys then the Fitnessgram Pacer test those are our results for the last five days of posting this advertisement on our page out an almost daily basis we actually lost that almost a thousand followers from this whole endeavor but I mean I'm not really focused long-term on this pages this is a YouTube challenge a video that I want to complete as efficiently as quickly as possible but all these cells come out to a total of 850 $9.97 that is our total revenue so let's break it down and talk about talk about how much of that is profit right off the bat $15 of that total amount what sales tax since I had three customers order from California so that's money that I collect but it's not actually mine have to pay to the California state government then we got twenty four dollars and ninety three cents going to payment processing and given that I'm not paying other Instagram pages to shout out our ad and I'm doing it all on the page we bought that makes our biggest expense actual portable steamers themselves that I'm shipping out to the customers we sold 13 of them they cost me 20 $1.99 ship that's with a package shipping included so I spent two hundred eighty five dollars and 87 cents on that which brings our total profit to five hundred thirty four dollars and seventeen cents as far as selling our Instagram page I really hope I didn't sound too confident about selling it for a profit earlier this week when I was filling myself talking about it that would make things uncomfortable given that I just I just hold it for a loss look here's the deal I honestly believe that it's a great page and if I had like a month to sell it I would find somebody willing to pay five hundred dollars plus for it but I really want to move on to a different form of marketing for the job stripping store we started in this video and I also felt like selling this page would be nice closure for the second part of this series so I went ahead and sold it for a loss so I did agree to sell it to a bigger theme page for 250 dollars that's a $50 loss on the actual page sale however remember we generated 530 dollars profit while owning the page now that we got another 250 on top of that for selling the page that brings our total ending budget seven hundred seventy eight dollars and sixty-two cents profit also if you're wondering why I went through the trouble of actually buying and then selling an Instagram page when I could have just used out of the original three hundred sixteen dollars just pay for one-time promotions on other peoples pages that's because every if this product didn't sell every time I would pay a different page for promotion I would be losing money whereas by purchasing Paige I could have tested out as many products as I wanted on it for basically free until I found a product that's sold well and that really worked and at the end of the day I could sell that page and get most of our money back or even make a profit on top or even sell it for what I bought it for and then I would be walking away with free advertising luckily the product we chose here sold from the first goal but if it weren't happy if it weren't happy first goal but it didn't having our own page was a really good back-up plan since that way I don't have to burn through our whole $316 budget by testing out different products so it basically was kind of like a back-up plan since again by owning the page I could have tested out as many products or as many stores as I wanted to without having to pay anywhere from like 20 to 80 dollars for an ad every single time I just kind of wanted to explain my thought processes that are behind buying the page but I think this is more than enough progress for part two I'm gonna cut the video here and I'm very excited to get into part three I'm basically gonna start doing that as soon as I done filming this video here and turn off the camera hope you guys enjoyed this video and I hope that you have a great rest of your day peace [Music]
