00:00:00	00:00:04	all right for starters let's take a peek
00:00:02	00:00:11	at this amazing night out here look at
00:00:04	00:00:12	this look at the sky absolutely gorgeous
00:00:11	00:00:15	out this evening it was just out at a
00:00:12	00:00:17	meeting got the opportunity to drive
00:00:15	00:00:19	back in like the prime like five minutes
00:00:17	00:00:21	of sunset so very grateful for that
00:00:19	00:00:23	there's definitely amazing to see let's
00:00:21	00:00:26	set up the camera real quick and I got
00:00:23	00:00:28	something to tok about okay so I want
00:00:26	00:00:29	to tell a story inside of this and it's
00:00:28	00:00:31	kind of a two-parter now as you can tell
00:00:29	00:00:33	the title and hopefully the thumbnail
00:00:31	00:00:35	I'm not making those myself so they're
00:00:33	00:00:38	probably awful but I want to tell a
00:00:35	00:00:40	story about going from $1,000 to zero
00:00:38	00:00:42	and then turning that zero you know
00:00:40	00:00:44	nothing into 10,000 now there's a few
00:00:42	00:00:47	different ways that this happened that I
00:00:44	00:00:49	can think of okay so there was my first
00:00:47	00:00:50	thousand dollars I made not online like
00:00:49	00:00:53	I remember having this much money I
00:00:50	00:00:54	think was like 1400 actually and I went
00:00:53	00:00:56	and spent a lot of it actually at the
00:00:54	00:00:58	time when I purchased this item I had
00:00:56	00:01:00	about 2000 saved up I wouldn't spend
00:00:58	00:01:00	pretty much all of my money on a four
00:01:00	00:01:02	wheeler
00:01:00	00:01:04	okay something like this if you guys
00:01:02	00:01:05	know what an ATV a quad where do I know
00:01:04	00:01:08	people in the world call it different
00:01:05	00:01:10	things whatever I wanted what I couldn't
00:01:08	00:01:12	have as a kid and we grew up with dirt
00:01:10	00:01:13	bikes we were blessed we have a little
00:01:12	00:01:15	cabin up in the woods in a different
00:01:13	00:01:17	state it was like you know like my
00:01:15	00:01:18	grandpa's and whatnot so we always had a
00:01:17	00:01:20	couple of dirt bikes up there you know
00:01:18	00:01:22	my dad grew up on dirt bikes so he was
00:01:20	00:01:24	all things dirt bikes naturally as a kid
00:01:22	00:01:26	you want you don't have so what is it I
00:01:24	00:01:27	wanted for like three years only the
00:01:26	00:01:29	only thing I ever wanted was a
00:01:27	00:01:30	four-wheeler so when I first got some
00:01:29	00:01:33	money this was actually from mowing
00:01:30	00:01:36	lawns I went ahead when on Craigslist
00:01:33	00:01:37	and I purchased a four wheeler okay and
00:01:36	00:01:38	it's kind of funny to think about I
00:01:37	00:01:41	would totally do it again if I had a
00:01:38	00:01:42	house with some land just because I only
00:01:41	00:01:43	got to ride it like five times a year
00:01:42	00:01:44	because we're never really at my cabin
00:01:43	00:01:47	that much and only in the summer months
00:01:44	00:01:48	but it was one of those things I just
00:01:47	00:01:51	remember this I bought it for 1,400
00:01:48	00:01:53	bucks in cash at like 11 or 12 years old
00:01:51	00:01:55	and then I sold it a year later
00:01:53	00:01:57	beat to hell even more than it already
00:01:55	00:01:58	was here's a nice four-wheeler but you
00:01:57	00:01:59	know a couple more dings a couple more
00:01:58	00:02:01	scratches whatever it was running fine
00:01:59	00:02:03	very beautiful for but there's one of
00:02:01	00:02:04	the race ones and I sold it to my
00:02:03	00:02:06	neighbor across the lake whose kids I
00:02:04	00:02:08	used to ride dirt bikes and formulas
00:02:06	00:02:11	with for fourteen hundred and fifty so I
00:02:08	00:02:12	made a $50 profit which for me it felt
00:02:11	00:02:14	like I was making four
00:02:12	00:02:17	250 cause that's the check he gave me I
00:02:14	00:02:18	was kind of crazy so for me I made that
00:02:17	00:02:20	money mowing lawns and then when I went
00:02:18	00:02:23	2-0 I'm gonna tok about how I brought
00:02:20	00:02:24	it back up because this happened two
00:02:23	00:02:26	years in a row so one year I bought a
00:02:24	00:02:28	four-wheeler and then I would sell it
00:02:26	00:02:30	coming into the summers that I have
00:02:28	00:02:32	money to do other things and buy another
00:02:30	00:02:34	four we like I would buy it going into
00:02:32	00:02:35	the end of the year so I was kind of
00:02:34	00:02:36	smart I knew the buying a dirt bike it's
00:02:35	00:02:38	gonna be the lowest of price in the
00:02:36	00:02:40	winter or going into the winter because
00:02:38	00:02:42	it's much harder to sell so that's what
00:02:40	00:02:44	I would purchase it okay and that's also
00:02:42	00:02:46	on my income stuff because I would stop
00:02:44	00:02:47	mowing Lots so it's pretty much left
00:02:46	00:02:48	with no money and the reason this is
00:02:47	00:02:50	like I used to call like a
00:02:48	00:02:52	one-and-a-half parter like the first
00:02:50	00:02:54	amount of money I made offline I used it
00:02:52	00:02:56	to buy you know of a vehicle and then
00:02:54	00:02:58	the first a thousand I made online which
00:02:56	00:03:00	is constantly pumped backed into other
00:02:58	00:03:02	things online which I was scammed left
00:03:00	00:03:04	and right like lost so much money so
00:03:02	00:03:06	what took me from zero to 10,000 because
00:03:04	00:03:09	I remember crossing that milestone in my
00:03:06	00:03:10	bank of having $10,000 so a lot of
00:03:09	00:03:12	people ask me you know was an Instagram
00:03:10	00:03:14	influencer pages right was it stok
00:03:12	00:03:16	trading I've made $10,000 trading stoks
00:03:14	00:03:17	in fact that made thirty four thousand
00:03:16	00:03:19	dollars in one day when I was 14
00:03:17	00:03:20	proceeded to lose all that money so am I
00:03:19	00:03:23	going to count it but you know the first
00:03:20	00:03:25	dollar 10,000 excuse me that I had in my
00:03:23	00:03:28	bank was from Instagram influencer pages
00:03:25	00:03:30	as I was starting to get into affiliate
00:03:28	00:03:32	marketing so it was kind of like that
00:03:30	00:03:33	transition phase I probably made you
00:03:32	00:03:34	know a good amount of money but I was
00:03:33	00:03:36	like constantly getting scammed
00:03:34	00:03:38	constantly reinvesting into other things
00:03:36	00:03:39	and I don't really care as where does
00:03:38	00:03:41	that sounds like I never cared if I
00:03:39	00:03:43	really lost money like I've gotten
00:03:41	00:03:45	scammed for $3,300 once like just
00:03:43	00:03:47	blatantly the stupidest thing ever and I
00:03:45	00:03:49	didn't have an emotional change there
00:03:47	00:03:50	was no imbalance I was like oh well that
00:03:49	00:03:52	sucks I learned you know I figured out I
00:03:50	00:03:53	literally look I'm like well here's
00:03:52	00:03:55	where I went wrong it was just one thing
00:03:53	00:03:57	never doing that again and I just moved
00:03:55	00:03:58	on so it's been really positive with
00:03:57	00:04:00	that that's one thing you know I pat
00:03:58	00:04:03	myself on the back for so that's
00:04:00	00:04:05	definitely huge now the reason I really
00:04:03	00:04:07	said there were two parts in this is
00:04:05	00:04:09	really because they're kind of one and a
00:04:07	00:04:12	half is because on the offline version I
00:04:09	00:04:14	had gone from $1,000 to zero back to a
00:04:12	00:04:16	thousand back to zero back 2009 to zero
00:04:14	00:04:18	very frequently over like a multiply
00:04:16	00:04:20	three or four year period because I was
00:04:18	00:04:22	making really good money from a young
00:04:20	00:04:23	age mowing lawns so I kept dumping that
00:04:22	00:04:25	money back in
00:04:23	00:04:27	figuring out the online stuff and what
00:04:25	00:04:29	was funny is once I got that first
00:04:27	00:04:31	10,000 in my bank account that that for
00:04:29	00:04:32	me was like a big number because you
00:04:31	00:04:33	know that's adding a whole nother digit
00:04:32	00:04:35	like I don't think it's not hard to get
00:04:33	00:04:36	your hands on a thousand dollars or two
00:04:35	00:04:39	thousand dollars but you know when
00:04:36	00:04:41	you're getting into five figures and you
00:04:39	00:04:42	know having that sitting just like it's
00:04:41	00:04:45	it's all yours homie like I was probably
00:04:42	00:04:48	was I 50 I think I was 16 I like just
00:04:45	00:04:50	turned 16 and to have 10 grand sitting
00:04:48	00:04:51	in cash that you made and you know
00:04:50	00:04:53	things started quickly coming in with
00:04:51	00:04:56	consistent cash flow after that it was
00:04:53	00:04:58	super super cool to see so now how did I
00:04:56	00:05:01	actually do it how did I take that you
00:04:58	00:05:02	know zero and go to 10,000 what did that
00:05:01	00:05:05	look like let me explain what it was
00:05:02	00:05:07	exactly so a lot of people somewhat know
00:05:05	00:05:10	this story but they don't know what went
00:05:07	00:05:12	into it so well yes I was growing
00:05:10	00:05:14	Instagram influencer pages that's great
00:05:12	00:05:15	trust me that [ __ ] does not pay well
00:05:14	00:05:18	unless you have a massive account
00:05:15	00:05:20	especially almost four years ago three
00:05:18	00:05:21	and a half years ago when it was just
00:05:20	00:05:24	getting started
00:05:21	00:05:27	brands take so long to actually adopt
00:05:24	00:05:29	new forms of media and marketing so for
00:05:27	00:05:31	them to you know shell out ten thousand
00:05:29	00:05:32	dollars on an advertising deal it's very
00:05:31	00:05:34	difficult to get especially your smaller
00:05:32	00:05:36	page so it was really only really big
00:05:34	00:05:39	personal brands getting those deals
00:05:36	00:05:40	those endorsement deals so does all the
00:05:39	00:05:42	pages where it wasn't a personal page
00:05:40	00:05:43	you know is mean pages and luxury pages
00:05:42	00:05:46	that was a lot of what I own luxury
00:05:43	00:05:48	pages car pages boat pages some quote
00:05:46	00:05:49	pages entrepreneur you get the point you
00:05:48	00:05:50	know there are other all over the place
00:05:49	00:05:52	right now the ones that are still big
00:05:50	00:05:53	trending like I have friends I have a
00:05:52	00:05:56	good buddy of mine in LA there was 65
00:05:53	00:05:57	million followers between his multiple
00:05:56	00:06:00	accounts you know like literally the
00:05:57	00:06:02	biggest pages you can ever imagine you
00:06:00	00:06:03	know with 5 million 10 million 15
00:06:02	00:06:05	million followers you know with the the
00:06:03	00:06:08	funny video pages the fight videos fail
00:06:05	00:06:11	videos memes all of that so at the time
00:06:08	00:06:13	I actually didn't make that much money
00:06:11	00:06:15	off of directly selling shoutouts which
00:06:13	00:06:16	means someone was paying me and I'll
00:06:15	00:06:19	tok about how he grew the pages in a
00:06:16	00:06:20	second but someone was paying me to post
00:06:19	00:06:22	something on my page that's now how I
00:06:20	00:06:25	was really making my money I was making
00:06:22	00:06:27	money by building accounts so I started
00:06:25	00:06:28	developing what was called a network so
00:06:27	00:06:30	you have your network of people you know
00:06:28	00:06:32	but now you have your own network in
00:06:30	00:06:35	of yourself and what I mean by that I
00:06:32	00:06:39	had at one point fifty two different
00:06:35	00:06:40	Instagram accounts 52 so think about
00:06:39	00:06:41	that for a second if I want to start a
00:06:40	00:06:43	brand new one from scratch
00:06:41	00:06:45	all I have to do as long as it's someone
00:06:43	00:06:46	similar is repost a piece of content
00:06:45	00:06:49	from now like three or four times on all
00:06:46	00:06:49	the other ones in my network and then
00:06:49	00:06:51	BOOM
00:06:49	00:06:53	now that page is suddenly like almost at
00:06:51	00:06:55	the same level as all the others because
00:06:53	00:06:57	everyone's seen it so I can blow him up
00:06:55	00:06:59	and you know within like 40 days was
00:06:57	00:07:01	really my my perfect sweet spot time
00:06:59	00:07:03	frame blow up I was about to say a store
00:07:01	00:07:05	Shopify blow up an Instagram page and
00:07:03	00:07:07	then sell it to someone so I knew a lot
00:07:05	00:07:08	of friends who did brokerage deals that
00:07:07	00:07:10	had different apps that were private
00:07:08	00:07:12	that would let you sell pages so I had
00:07:10	00:07:14	the connections through that I could
00:07:12	00:07:15	build a page from zero and remember I
00:07:14	00:07:17	can do multiple pages usually three or
00:07:15	00:07:19	four a month and build them and then
00:07:17	00:07:20	sell them from anywhere from like two to
00:07:19	00:07:23	eight grand
00:07:20	00:07:24	and in like a 40 day period so I build I
00:07:23	00:07:25	did try to keep a lot of them because I
00:07:24	00:07:27	knew later down the road once they got a
00:07:25	00:07:29	lot bigger like millions of followers
00:07:27	00:07:31	I'd be able to make that cash flow so
00:07:29	00:07:33	it's kind of a short-term versus
00:07:31	00:07:34	long-term game and I played both so
00:07:33	00:07:36	that's where I first started making the
00:07:34	00:07:38	money and how I grew the page is real
00:07:36	00:07:39	quick it was very interesting because I
00:07:38	00:07:40	didn't know what I was doing right I
00:07:39	00:07:41	didn't have any money when I was
00:07:40	00:07:43	starting because again I'd gone to zero
00:07:41	00:07:45	so I didn't like buy any courses I don't
00:07:43	00:07:46	even know I think there was one course
00:07:45	00:07:48	out at the time that I remember which I
00:07:46	00:07:51	bought later once I started making money
00:07:48	00:07:52	and that kind of for me to start posting
00:07:51	00:07:54	all this content I was like one of the
00:07:52	00:07:56	very early adopters of Instagram
00:07:54	00:07:58	influencers so whenever I was posting it
00:07:56	00:08:00	would just get so much engagement like
00:07:58	00:08:01	you go on the instant on the Instagram
00:08:00	00:08:03	Explorer feed right now and there's
00:08:01	00:08:05	gonna be all sorts of different videos a
00:08:03	00:08:07	couple of pictures that space to get on
00:08:05	00:08:10	there has so much competition right now
00:08:07	00:08:12	it's so difficult now back three and a
00:08:10	00:08:14	half years ago it was easy as pie
00:08:12	00:08:16	you use a couple of the right hashtags
00:08:14	00:08:17	there was even one point which my oh
00:08:16	00:08:19	geez remember this if you guys have
00:08:17	00:08:22	drawn pages where there was a hashtag or
00:08:19	00:08:23	not a hashtag in at list okay so you go
00:08:22	00:08:24	through you write the description of
00:08:23	00:08:26	your post right you got your picture you
00:08:24	00:08:27	read the little description you drop
00:08:26	00:08:29	down a few lines so that people have to
00:08:27	00:08:31	click more to see it because most people
00:08:29	00:08:32	don't do that and then you put like a
00:08:31	00:08:35	copy pasted list there was this list
00:08:32	00:08:37	floating around it worked so well for
00:08:35	00:08:39	like three or four months where you copy
00:08:37	00:08:41	pasted this list it had like 50 famous
00:08:39	00:08:42	people I remember like Kevin Hart Kim
00:08:41	00:08:45	Kardashian
00:08:42	00:08:47	Drake like all these people Oprah and
00:08:45	00:08:49	just for whatever reason like tripled
00:08:47	00:08:50	the engagement like I would go for about
00:08:49	00:08:52	one of my pages getting like three to
00:08:50	00:08:54	five thousand likes to boom ten thousand
00:08:52	00:08:56	likes it's like four thousand comments
00:08:54	00:08:58	just crazy ban just on to the explore
00:08:56	00:09:00	page it was little things like that so
00:08:58	00:09:01	don't ask me for advice on growing pages
00:09:00	00:09:02	right now because that's not what I do
00:09:01	00:09:03	I'm not in that space it's very
00:09:02	00:09:05	different I do still have the
00:09:03	00:09:06	connections I do still know some stuff
00:09:05	00:09:07	but that's just not what I'm focused on
00:09:06	00:09:10	okay
00:09:07	00:09:11	the game with that has evolved so you
00:09:10	00:09:13	know I've kind of stepped the way out on
00:09:11	00:09:14	have any interest in that so that's what
00:09:13	00:09:15	first started making me the money
00:09:14	00:09:18	selling a little bit of shout out space
00:09:15	00:09:19	on there but it was primarily flipping
00:09:18	00:09:22	the accounts or I was able to grow it
00:09:19	00:09:23	because I put in the work myself to go
00:09:22	00:09:25	ahead and start building everything and
00:09:23	00:09:26	it's kind of weird like with my shirt
00:09:25	00:09:29	showing through I don't know if that's
00:09:26	00:09:31	whatever but so every day I get to see
00:09:29	00:09:33	it in the camera so that's what I was
00:09:31	00:09:35	doing that may be my first ten grand sit
00:09:33	00:09:36	into my bank like that's a really cool
00:09:35	00:09:38	feeling if you guys haven't hit that
00:09:36	00:09:40	just wait until you do trust me it's
00:09:38	00:09:41	gonna be super awesome so from there I
00:09:40	00:09:44	started transitioning into affiliate
00:09:41	00:09:45	marketing okay and that's where I really
00:09:44	00:09:47	started making like okay I'm making
00:09:45	00:09:48	multiple thousands a month building on
00:09:47	00:09:50	that and this is online so I'm making it
00:09:48	00:09:53	multiple thousands per month online
00:09:50	00:09:55	consistently like residual income where
00:09:53	00:09:58	it's literally like if I was in a coma I
00:09:55	00:10:00	would still make it that started blowing
00:09:58	00:10:02	my mind so that for me was how I went
00:10:00	00:10:03	from a thousand to zero and then to ten
00:10:02	00:10:05	thousand because when you're starting
00:10:03	00:10:06	from nothing you know for me you know I
00:10:05	00:10:08	don't have any expenses that I have to
00:10:06	00:10:10	worry about like facing eviction or rent
00:10:08	00:10:12	or whatever you know or a car payment at
00:10:10	00:10:14	the time when I first starting that
00:10:12	00:10:15	money I was about to get a Maserati so
00:10:14	00:10:16	there's a lot of stuff you know when you
00:10:15	00:10:18	first start touching some money but
00:10:16	00:10:21	that's how you can really grow those my
00:10:18	00:10:23	specific situation on going from zero to
00:10:21	00:10:25	that 10,000 mark which is huge you know
00:10:23	00:10:26	so hope that helps you guys I hope it
00:10:25	00:10:28	gave you like maybe some ideas again the
00:10:26	00:10:29	space is evolved but that's just what I
00:10:28	00:10:31	did that's kind of how I handled it
00:10:29	00:10:33	right so everybody's gave me different
00:10:31	00:10:34	everything you're doing you might not
00:10:33	00:10:35	even be doing something online you might
00:10:34	00:10:37	do offline you might be doing a sales
00:10:35	00:10:39	job door-to-door sales I've done that
00:10:37	00:10:41	stuff you know it just is what it is so
