| 00:00:44 | 00:00:48 | house a few months ago to pursue being |
| 00:00:46 | 00:00:50 | an entrepreneur full-time but ever since |

| 00:00:50 | 00:00:54 | college her dreams of me becoming a |
| 00:00:52 | 00:00:56 | doctor a lawyer or an engineer were |
| 00:00:54 | 00:00:57 | crushed so i'm gonna sell these dumb |
| 00:00:56 | 00:00:59 | products in front of me to prove to my |
| 00:00:57 | 00:01:01 | mom that i can have success as an |
| 00:00:59 | 00:01:04 | entrepreneur and with the money we make |
| 00:01:01 | 00:01:06 | i'm going to surprise her with the best |
| 00:01:04 | 00:01:08 | gift ever |
| 00:01:06 | 00:01:09 | it's time to unbox everything i just |
| 00:01:08 | 00:01:12 | bought i had spent the last week looking |
| 00:01:09 | 00:01:14 | at tik-tok instagram ads or other |
| 00:01:12 | 00:01:16 | online ads that popped up to find the |
| 00:01:14 | 00:01:17 | trendiest and most popular items that i |
| 00:01:16 | 00:01:19 | could sell starting things off with this |
| 00:01:17 | 00:01:22 | slushie cup right here this is a product |
| 00:01:19 | 00:01:23 | that went extremely viral on tiktok |
| 00:01:22 | 00:01:25 | and when i tested it out with my |
| 00:01:23 | 00:01:27 | favorite drink in the world it began to |
| 00:01:25 | 00:01:30 | work boom look at that guys we've got |
| 00:01:27 | 00:01:32 | ourselves a nice slushy that was the |
| 00:01:30 | 00:01:34 | first of many cool products i tested out |
| 00:01:32 | 00:01:36 | they turn a different color how cool is |
| 00:01:34 | 00:01:38 | that and if you want to change them back |
| 00:01:36 | 00:01:40 | i believe you put hot water but i'm not |
| 00:01:38 | 00:01:42 | sure oh my gosh look at that other |
| 00:01:40 | 00:01:45 | products though didn't live up to |
| 00:01:42 | 00:01:47 | expectations oh god |
| 00:01:45 | 00:01:49 | it's literally like electrocuting me and |
| 00:01:47 | 00:01:50 | it's not comfortable i think i'd rather |
| 00:01:49 | 00:01:52 | work out the normal way so now that |
| 00:01:50 | 00:01:54 | we've tested out all the products it's |
| 00:01:52 | 00:01:56 | time to figure out which ones i actually |
| 00:01:54 | 00:01:58 | want to sell it has to be a product like |
| 00:01:56 | 00:02:00 | the slushie cup that has viral potential |
| 00:01:58 | 00:02:02 | but it also can't be too saturated where |
| 00:02:00 | 00:02:04 | everyone and their mom is already |
| 00:02:02 | 00:02:05 | selling it and speaking of my mom if i |
| 00:02:04 | 00:02:07 | want to surprise her with any |
| 00:02:05 | 00:02:09 | substantial gift i need to sell a |
| 00:02:07 | 00:02:11 | product that functions well to avoid a |
| 00:02:09 | 00:02:13 | ton of returns that means the ab |
| 00:02:11 | 00:02:14 | stimulator is out and i'm also going to |
| 00:02:13 | 00:02:16 | scratch off the slushy cup just because |
| 00:02:14 | 00:02:18 | it's way too saturated that leaves us |
| 00:02:16 | 00:02:20 | with the shower head the color changing |
| 00:02:18 | 00:02:22 | shorts and the car air mattress left to |
| 00:02:20 | 00:02:24 | sell and since we only have a little |
| 00:02:22 | 00:02:26 | more than nine days to make money with |
| 00:02:24 | 00:02:28 | these products i got to work building |
| 00:02:26 | 00:02:30 | the websites which by the way took way |
| 00:02:28 | 00:02:32 | too long all the way from coming up with |
| 00:02:30 | 00:02:34 | a company name to creating logos product |
| 00:02:32 | 00:02:36 | descriptions and the entire website |
| 00:02:34 | 00:02:39 | outline i'm doing about a week's worth |

| 00:04:22 | 00:04:26 | spending a small fortune every day on |
| 00:04:24 | 00:04:28 | tiktok ads it is time for these ads |
| 00:04:26 | 00:04:30 | to be approved and for sales to start |
| 00:04:28 | 00:04:32 | flowing in i hope so at least i started |
| 00:04:30 | 00:04:34 | day three with a one billion dollar |
| 00:04:32 | 00:04:36 | morning routine actually no i didn't i |
| 00:04:34 | 00:04:38 | literally only ran for 30 seconds so i |
| 00:04:36 | 00:04:40 | could film it but now it's time to check |
| 00:04:38 | 00:04:42 | the shopify sales and as you guys can |
| 00:04:40 | 00:04:44 | see on one of the stores we got one sale |
| 00:04:42 | 00:04:47 | for 34.99 |
| 00:04:44 | 00:04:49 | after spending 60 on ads this was |
| 00:04:47 | 00:04:51 | devastating i didn't want to deal with |
| 00:04:49 | 00:04:53 | the financial burden of telling my mom |
| 00:04:51 | 00:04:55 | she owes me money instead of surprising |
| 00:04:53 | 00:04:58 | her with an awesome gift i've gotta make |
| 00:04:55 | 00:05:00 | the shopify thing work i spent way too |
| 00:04:58 | 00:05:02 | long making all those websites for it to |
| 00:05:00 | 00:05:03 | fail so quickly so i hopped on a call |
| 00:05:02 | 00:05:05 | with some drop shippers who've made |
| 00:05:03 | 00:05:07 | millions and as i spoke with each of |
| 00:05:05 | 00:05:09 | these successful people i notiked three |
| 00:05:07 | 00:05:12 | common themes that turned a seemingly |
| 00:05:09 | 00:05:14 | stupid product into a success with the |
| 00:05:12 | 00:05:16 | first one being to be a maverick or to |
| 00:05:14 | 00:05:18 | do it different thinking kind of like |
| 00:05:16 | 00:05:19 | outside of the box all the products i've |
| 00:05:18 | 00:05:21 | done like you know millions of dollars |
| 00:05:19 | 00:05:22 | with they've been things that no one's |
| 00:05:21 | 00:05:24 | really selling or a few people are |
| 00:05:22 | 00:05:26 | selling you have to stand out and do |
| 00:05:24 | 00:05:28 | something different with 90 of |
| 00:05:26 | 00:05:30 | businesses failing eventually you can't |
| 00:05:28 | 00:05:32 | be successful by doing what literally |
| 00:05:30 | 00:05:34 | everyone else's the first two products |
| 00:05:32 | 00:05:36 | i'm selling are already extremely |
| 00:05:34 | 00:05:38 | popular on tiktok and the videos i'm |
| 00:05:36 | 00:05:40 | using to advertise have literally been |
| 00:05:38 | 00:05:42 | done hundreds of times so if i want to |
| 00:05:40 | 00:05:44 | have success with any of these products |
| 00:05:42 | 00:05:46 | i need to do something creative with the |
| 00:05:44 | 00:05:49 | advertisement that pushes on a customer |
| 00:05:46 | 00:05:52 | pain point down to again though the |
| 00:05:49 | 00:05:54 | marketing angle so what pain points can |
| 00:05:52 | 00:05:55 | you harp on the generic kind of like |
| 00:05:54 | 00:05:57 | strat with copying copying and copying |
| 00:05:55 | 00:05:58 | it just won't work because there's too |
| 00:05:57 | 00:06:00 | many people doing it so far in this |
| 00:05:58 | 00:06:02 | challenge i've tried to advertise in the |
| 00:06:00 | 00:06:04 | most basic way possible and it hasn't |
| 00:06:02 | 00:06:07 | really worked out as you guys can see we |
| 00:06:04 | 00:06:08 | spent nearly 60 on ads for this store |
| 00:06:07 | 00:06:11 | and now the other two ads managers the |
| 00:06:08 | 00:06:13 | budget barely spent but we're still down |
| 00:06:11 | 00:06:15 | about 50 overall the last piece of |
| 00:06:13 | 00:06:17 | advice i received was to focus on one |
| 00:06:15 | 00:06:19 | singular product and everyone seemed to |
| 00:06:17 | 00:06:21 | like the car air mattress the most i |
| 00:06:19 | 00:06:22 | like this one actually yeah i haven't |
| 00:06:21 | 00:06:24 | seen this out of all the three you just |
| 00:06:22 | 00:06:25 | showed by far is the most appeal this is |
| 00:06:24 | 00:06:27 | a great example of stuff that has |
| 00:06:25 | 00:06:28 | already sold on facebook but like not |
| 00:06:27 | 00:06:30 | really anyone selling it on tiktok |
| 00:06:28 | 00:06:32 | yeah you're gonna be better off picking |
| 00:06:30 | 00:06:33 | just one and not trying to do all three |
| 00:06:32 | 00:06:35 | at the same time so i spent the next few |
| 00:06:33 | 00:06:37 | days revamping the air mattress website |
| 00:06:35 | 00:06:39 | and brainstorming some legendary tik |
| 00:06:37 | 00:06:41 | tok ideas the two biggest selling |
| 00:06:39 | 00:06:43 | points for the car air mattress are |
| 00:06:41 | 00:06:44 | number one that you can save money on |
| 00:06:43 | 00:06:46 | road trips because instead of having to |
| 00:06:44 | 00:06:48 | get a hotel you can comfortably sleep in |
| 00:06:46 | 00:06:50 | your car that's a pretty simple concept |
| 00:06:48 | 00:06:51 | so i went out and filmed that this |
| 00:06:50 | 00:06:53 | morning but that brings us to selling |
| 00:06:51 | 00:06:55 | point number two if you live with your |
| 00:06:53 | 00:06:56 | parents but need a spot to take your |
| 00:06:55 | 00:06:58 | tinder date you can always set up the |
| 00:06:56 | 00:07:00 | car air mattress and have a comfortable |
| 00:06:58 | 00:07:02 | spot for recreational activities the |
| 00:07:00 | 00:07:05 | only issue being i've never successfully |
| 00:07:02 | 00:07:07 | secured a tinder date for some reason i |
| 00:07:05 | 00:07:09 | always get left on seed but today that |
| 00:07:07 | 00:07:11 | changes because i'm going to swipe on |
| 00:07:09 | 00:07:13 | tinder until my thumbs detach from the |
| 00:07:11 | 00:07:15 | palm of my hand it is now the night of |
| 00:07:13 | 00:07:17 | day six i've probably swiped right on |
| 00:07:15 | 00:07:19 | like a thousand females i need to secure |
| 00:07:17 | 00:07:20 | this date by tomorrow because my mom's |
| 00:07:19 | 00:07:22 | getting impatient about her gift and if |
| 00:07:20 | 00:07:24 | i don't get her anything soon i'm gonna |
| 00:07:22 | 00:07:26 | have to go back to college |
| 00:07:24 | 00:07:28 | your boy secured a tinder date but |
| 00:07:26 | 00:07:30 | before you guys get too excited she has |
| 00:07:28 | 00:07:31 | no idea about the drop shipping store |
| 00:07:30 | 00:07:33 | who knew that toking about drop |
| 00:07:31 | 00:07:34 | shipping is pretty much the equivalent |
| 00:07:33 | 00:07:36 | to wearing girl repellent i've been |
| 00:07:34 | 00:07:38 | toking to this girl for a while but it |
| 00:07:36 | 00:07:40 | just so happens that today we're gonna |
| 00:07:38 | 00:07:41 | hang out and at the end of it i'm gonna |
| 00:07:40 | 00:07:43 | ask her do you know how i do videos and |
| 00:07:41 | 00:07:45 | stuff yeah yeah i was wondering what are |
| 00:07:43 | 00:07:46 | your thoughts on being in a video at |
| 00:07:45 | 00:07:48 | some point i don't care that would be |
| 00:07:46 | 00:07:50 | fun sadly that's as far as the |
| 00:07:48 | 00:07:52 | conversation got unfortunately i failed |
| 00:07:50 | 00:07:54 | at securing my tinder date for the tik |
| 00:07:52 | 00:07:55 | tok ads but luckily i shot three tik |
| 00:07:54 | 00:07:57 | toks yesterday morning that i think |
| 00:07:55 | 00:07:59 | will work perfectly we only have three |
| 00:07:57 | 00:08:02 | days left in this challenge so i'm gonna |
| 00:07:59 | 00:08:04 | run five ad sets at 150 a day wish me |
| 00:08:02 | 00:08:06 | luck as ad budget spent the next few |
| 00:08:04 | 00:08:08 | days sales slowly came in it's |
| 00:08:06 | 00:08:10 | definitely nothing crazy but we're up to |
| 00:08:08 | 00:08:12 | six product sales on the day now goes to |
| 00:08:10 | 00:08:14 | show if you actually put a lot of effort |
| 00:08:12 | 00:08:16 | time and energy into something success |
| 00:08:14 | 00:08:18 | starts to come even if it's small at |
| 00:08:16 | 00:08:21 | first and that goes with any business if |
| 00:08:18 | 00:08:23 | you want success you genuinely have to |
| 00:08:21 | 00:08:24 | put in the hours so many people on the |
| 00:08:23 | 00:08:26 | internet make drop shipping or other |
| 00:08:24 | 00:08:28 | businesses seem easy but the truth is |
| 00:08:26 | 00:08:30 | it's a skill that can take you years to |
| 00:08:28 | 00:08:32 | make a substantial amount of money from |
| 00:08:30 | 00:08:34 | because honestly if it was easy why |
| 00:08:32 | 00:08:36 | wouldn't everyone do it on day 9 my ads |
| 00:08:34 | 00:08:38 | randomly stopped spending budget once |
| 00:08:36 | 00:08:40 | again i'm honestly so frustrated right |
| 00:08:38 | 00:08:42 | now we've literally run into this issue |
| 00:08:40 | 00:08:44 | like three other times during this |
| 00:08:42 | 00:08:45 | challenge and every time the ad stops |
| 00:08:44 | 00:08:47 | spending money for a different reason |
| 00:08:45 | 00:08:49 | but with some quick browsing on reddit |
| 00:08:47 | 00:08:51 | to come up with the solution ad started |
| 00:08:49 | 00:08:54 | running once again and i flew out to |
