on just to be clear omegle was not a good idea no one sent me money by the way the only thing I received was a fresh lack of hope in humanity okay so I just made an up work account I honestly don't have any experience on this website but apparently I'm a graphic designer but I'm just gonna start asking if I can apply for these jobs what does this guy need a backdrop and logo for game show I don't even know how to do that dude $250 dude forget this YouTube thing I'm gonna be making some Bank on up work here we go if we can secure anything on up work will be challenged but realistically I don't know if we'll get any job offers considering I have no experience I continue to apply for absolutely every job I could especially the ones I'm not qualified for after a few gruesome hours someone finally replied no way let's go so when gave us an offer 60 bucks if I complete this dog flyer design a flyer for my dog walking business called Natalie's pup walking all right let's do this Natalie you're about to the most insane pub walking flyer in the world is anyone even needing the service right now I'm not asking questions in the meantime I think we I think we can do some work so Natalie gave me no instructions other than the fact that she was looking for a flyer say no more Natalie with that knowledge I did the only thing I could which was make the best dang flyer the world has ever seen might be the only flyer the world is ever is anyone even using flyers anymore beats me I don't know I'm getting paid regardless two hours later I have a flyer here I have no idea this is even considered good I'm not even sure if I'm gonna get money for this this would be so nice maybe she gets back to us tonight I don't know we still have one penny my net worth is still one penny I've been at this for three hours and I have not made any money this is embarrassing I'm getting a restless just save the least I need a new plan okay this point I don't know if I'm delusional or if this is literally the best idea ever you guys know how I have done multiple photoshopping celebrities videos I was trying to figure out like how can I use tick-tock or like social media the potential of virality to make money because this just isn't working I'm not trying to do surveys for the rest of my life in this room until I die and so what I thought I was trying to think tick-tock how could I go viral maybe I could like sell drop shipping items but that's boring and stupid and my little scammy so here's what I'm gonna do I'm gonna provide a service where people DM me selfies of them with another friend and I Photoshop a celebrity next to them so basically people are gonna give me like five dollars ten dollars whatever do get a photoshopped photo of them with a celebrity and trick their friends I don't know this is gonna work at all I just made a tick-tock account with exactly zero followers and same with instagrams so we're starting from a salute scratch I don't know if this is gonna work but it is the best idea I have at this point so we are gonna try our best so I'll show you guys the first one we're starting with so this is my friend Brennan he's literally sitting on a couch with this guy took a selfie perfect situation of Photoshop someone so basically I'm gonna put someone on this guy's body a famous person send it back to Brennan and he's gonna send out a bunch of snapchats and screenshot the reactions who's gonna be with who does this guy look like literally be anybody that really cuts his whole head in there yeah this one could work I don't know if he's really facing the right way oh this one could work this is gonna come definitely work well just gonna have to get rid of his clothes and see what happens not like that I did not mean it not me to say that after 30 minutes of gazing into this gorgeous selfie of Tom we have ourselves a web slinging a masterpiece the word web has multiple meanings and that Tom Holland plays a role in the movie spider-man as well spider-man spider-man can sling webs with his super abilities however the word web is also used in conjunction with it's gonna get will see if anyone believes it okay I'm gonna let my friend Brennan send it to some snapchat friends and we'll see what happens okay so it's like an hour later and I got Brennan to send the snapchat to his friends and we actually got reaction so I made a tick-tock out of it so this is a I'm gonna show you how to trick your friends into thinking that you're hanging out with a celebrity here are some reactions that you got DM me and let's trick your friends okay so I'm hosting this tick-tock I have no idea how this is gonna do we'll see fingers crossed ah we have a few things in the works hopefully Natalie gets back to us ASAP then this tick tock tick tocks just a coin toss dude so hopefully we wake up and we have some opportunity at our doorstep but until then our net worth is a penny that's pathetic okay all right update is in exactly 24 hours and test started this challenge and this is our net worth there's a lot easier to make money in real life using your family and friends at least starting from a penny man this I've tried doing surveys just to get something you know most of them are just scams natalie has not paid us yet for our awesome dog poster she probably won't pay us so the plan with photoshopping celebrities it's going decently well I have eight followers on my account a couple of tick tocks almost have a hundred views I'm just reposting the same ones right now posted a new one today though nine likes not bad I'm gonna show you how to trick your friends on snapchat that's not really Kim Kardashian these are the reactions she got after sending this follow me on instagram and DM me Photoshop guide 20/20 but the exciting thing about all this we got our first actual person to DM us on our Instagram account we have three followers on Instagram right now I know this is Fame not Klout yeah you don't have to tell me it's from Canelli Aaliyah she followed me and sent this selfie I'm gonna ask her for some money man I don't know if this is scammy I don't know if this is sketchy for me to ask her for money but I'm gonna Photoshop a celebrity and see if she'll pay me that's right after looking at this selfie for a few minutes I knew I had a Photoshop in none other than Addison Rae the filter on this photo paired with the hair that frankly looks like it's sponsored by a bottle of Sunny D this Photoshop job especially difficult but I think we came away with a good product that our client will enjoy big moves right now not only did I just get my first genuine person to ask me for a Photoshop job I just got another upwork message thank you for your interest in our project can you send me video samples of your work dude get out of here so this lady's looking for a really simple edit I'm just gonna send her one of my videos at this one I'm just trying to get to maybe twenty to fifty dollars today in the meantime I'm gonna keep making this tick-tock all right I am changing the rules my net worth is Stoll penny that's not okay it's been over a day of effort I realized there's no reason for me to be in there cuz I'm still self isolating if I'm not in that room I just downloaded the sweat coin app which is the app that apparently you can walk and make money I'm gonna go outside dang it but first I'm gonna brush my teeth because I feel disgusting but I'm gonna go outside and earn some money for walking but also be able a referral program and I think I'm trying to invite people and make some money that way if I can just get started if I can get moving if I can get walking no wait there's a there's a phrase here you know what they said you have to walk before you can run that's metaphorical man apparently Shakespeare wrote his best plays wild and Quarantine I don't know how I would compare myself to Shakespeare here but anyway so we need to make some dough I'm gonna get outside and get going so I'm out here trying to earn some cash with sweat coin I invited a bunch of my friends so I think we might actually be able to get a commission because we invited them hopefully six dollars is on the horizon for us but so far we've made 0.56 sweat coin which I don't think will buy us much of anything come on dude it's taking forever I really gonna have to lace up the shoes that's it hold on I sprained my ankle and I got in a fight with a bug going back inside this sucks starting to lose hope I don't know if I can do this it sounds so easy first it's the Internet boy yo there's a wasp hey hey dude jeez oh there's no ball what is that so butterfly look like a hawk in my peripheral vision can't catch a break out here man quick little update I showered I don't smell like absolute trash still maybe a little bit but we made progress we're actually making money now we actually made six bucks from the sweat coin referral program into my PayPal account that was not hard at all so up to six dollars in one cent and two updates on up work okay first of all Natalie and her dog walking business replied and said uh just add my phone number we'll be good I just need something simple for my daughter so this definitely is not a legit business which I am thankful for because I probably would have lost the job the moment I sent her that file but also we got a video editing job or a grand total of sixteen dollars and with Natalie's I think that one is worth $48 if my math is correct hello dude my math is checking out here dude if we can get this all done tonight you're gonna get $70 and a penny oh my god dude tomorrow's gonna be lit if we can secure these bags I need to get to work editing this video for Amal on here I wonder if that's the Milan it would be an honor anyways gonna get some work done on the computer and I'm just hoping that these people don't abandon me we'll see I've edited my fair share of YouTube videos in my day but this one posed a new challenge I spent five hours working my butt off despite agreeing to a grand total of a payment of $16.63 is a 20% fee absolutely insane plus are six dollars and one cent that we already have that brings us to fifty four dollars and any I did submit another piece of work on up work that should get us sixteen dollars hopefully and a winging it there dude I might not have to make an only fans account however I've no idea what we're gonna do tomorrow it literally took me two days to get up to where we are now I refuse to do another piece of work on app work so we have to get creative I'll see you guys in the morning day three of self isolating let's recap day 1 we may not we made no money I still can't believe it day two we get our bag and a half from Natalie forty-eight dollars in our pocket update however unfortunately the video editing deal that I got on up work which by the way took me five hours and the woman who's only gonna pay me sixteen dollars they were like you know what we don't think this edit is what we were looking for so we're gonna have to cancel the contract do what I'm a youtuber this is my job man this is the only thing I'm good at and they didn't like my edit luckily though they still send me half of the contract payments so for five probably six hours of work I made eight bucks at this point I'll take it but it is an unfortunate situation that brings our total with sweat coin in our up work games that brings us up to 62 dollars and one cent it's really not bad I've got some plans moving forward I'm getting very lonely as soon as I make $1,000 I'm going to allow myself to interact with humans I'm just gonna try to make some extra money man I don't know what today is gonna bring I really don't I'm starting to get very impatient and this is a lot harder than I expected I gotta say if we can make this happen it would literally change everything oh my god he replied you reply in no way [Music]
