How I Became Successful In 34 Days (Ecommerce)



you know what is going on guys welcomeback to another video so this videogonna break down exactly how I wassuccessful in like the first 34 days ofme starting an online business I'm gonnabreak down exactly what that onlinebusiness is how it works and like I saidhow I was successful in the first 30days I've told this story before on mychannel if you guys don't know i grossedlike something over 5,000 it was likefive thousand two hundred or fivethousand four hundred dollars orsomething like that that's what igrossed the first month of this businessand I'm gonna just explain how I did allthat break it down and I'm gonna tellyou my story and all that so there'sgonna be a lot of information in hereand maybe I could actually resonate witha lot of people watching this because Ithink that most people watching thiswere probably or are probably in myshoes when I started my first month so Ithink that if you just pay attention andlisten to what I did and how I found myissues and fix them maybe you could fixyour own issues as well and startgrossing more with your business orprofiting more with your business orwhatever the case may be so I'm actuallyjust gonna pull up my phone really quickI didn't clear my notifications fromlast night I'm not gonna put it tooclose to the phone because you guys willsee my store and I don't want you guysto see it but if you see I didn't clearmy notifications from last night andthese are all my Shopify notificationsso there's one for $30 they're $18another $30 notification they're a tonjust another $32 right there I'm stillscrolling down 25 25 so that was alljust from the short night that I had Ionly stopped for like six hours andthere's just a ton more so I literallyget paid to sleep now and I havemultiple stores running I have threestores running currently and so it'sgreat to just wake up two to multiplesales and multiple stores running allthe time I want to show you all thatit's possible and that you can get paidto sleep and drink Starbucks coffeeanyway so let's get into our won't wasteany more of your time so I love thisstory and I've told it a couple timesbut here we go my first store that Iever started if any of you guys know thestore or the website this is why I'mbroke it's just a website with a bunchof stupid gag gifts right it's just likea bunch of things like a five poundgummy bear or some just some dumb thingsthat like people would get for theirfriends or for people that they lovejust to make them laugh or somethinglike that I knew about that store and italways made me laugh because I wouldjust browse through their products and IwouldI'm gonna buy this Aria I'm gonna buythis but I never actually boughtanything but they made me laugh so whatI did with my first Shopify store was Iactually I actually modeled that storeoff – after this is why I'm broke solike I had a product that was like itlook made you look like you were nakedlike a towel I had a bunch of stupidproducts on my first store and I wassuper proud of it but at the end of theday it was a completely terrible ideaand that's not how Shopify works at allbut I showed it off to all my family andall my friends and they're like oh yeahthis is so stupid you're never gonnamake any money and I was like whateverlike it's not a big deal but anywaymoving on so I did that store I realizedvery quickly that that was not going tomake any money so I actually I'm veryquickly before I even ran any ads justcompletely took down that store and thenrestarted so I found other youtubers onYouTube that would talk about Shopifyand would say hey you should start aniche store so for those of you thatdon't know in each store is just morespecific towards like a collection ofproducts like maybe watches braceletsmaybe leggings maybe hats maybe likeBuddha items I don't know but that'sniche so it's just a specific group ofcollection so my second store it was anice store I uhit started with men's fashion so I soldwatches bracelets sunglasses I found acouple of other people selling this thissame thing successfully and all I didwas I actually just modeled their storesas well so I saw their stories and itwas really attractive and I was like yesI would probably buy something off thisstore and I wanted my store to looksimilar to their store because if Iwould buy something off their store thenI was pretty certain that other peoplethat saw my store would feel the sameway so I was like okay I want otherpeople to look at my store and say Iwould buy something off that so that'sall I did was I modeled like three orfour of my competitors in terms ofproducts and in terms of just like thecolor and the overall layout of thestore I just modeled my competitors thatwere doing well so moving on from thereI started with influencers I didn't runany Facebook ads I didn't any do anyTwitter I didn't do any snapchat Istarted with only influencers first timeI ran an influencer ad I ran it for abracelet now most of you guys know whoRory Gannon is he talked a lot about thelion bracelet he blew that up thatproduct was super trending like a yearago but that's one of the products I hadin my store and what I did was Iactually took that line bracelet and Iwent- a lion page on Instagram and I triedpromoting it and I think I got to salesbut I was still in the negative I thinkI made like I think I was selling forlike ten dollars and I spent like $40 onthe shoutout and I only made like twosales and then I went and I foundanother influence or another lineinfluencer and I did it again and Ithink I spent like $60 and I only madelike three sales maybe like 30 bucks andprop there were like $32 or somethingnot profit $32 of gross so at this pointthis was like the first week and a halfI was like okay this like obviously Ican get sales but I'm not profitable andI don't know why so I was starting toget confused but I decided I was likeokay well maybe I'm just not gonna sellthis product I'm just gonna go and trysomething elseso I created a whole new ad for a watchthis time and then what I did was I wentto a men's fashion influencer now thiswas completely like out of my thinkingnobody told me to do this I was justlike okay if the line bracelet on a linepage isn't working I'm gonna take awatch to like a men's fashion page andsee what happens so that's exactly whatI did I took it to the first men'sfashion page that I found on Instagram Iliterally typed in men's fashion in thesearch bar and the first one had liketwo million followers I think I spent$80 or something like that are 70something dollars just under $100 and Ipromoted the watch and I made like twoor three sales so I was like for somereason I was convinced at this point Iwas like okay this is like this is soweird I just it's it's like working butI can't make money like obviously thethe process works but I can't make moneyand I didn't realize that the time thereason that it wasn't working wasbecause the influencers were saturatedbecause it was the first influencerI mean how many people have searchedmen's fashion and ran an ad on the firstaccount that pops up like probablyhundreds of people so it was alreadysaturated I didn't understand that atthe time but before giving up I decidedI'd give it one more try and I went to asmaller influencer like 350 K so I wentto the smaller influencer I didn't askany questions as I just said hey likehow much for a 24-hour post I think thathe charged me about 50 or 60 bucks Ithink it was $60 and so this is wherethe famous story that I tell a lot ofpeople when I'm speaking at events whenI'm doing all these things I tell a lotof people this story so at the time Iwas working as a caregiver making $10 anhour from 6:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. and Iwould make $10 so 12 hour shifts or 120bucks todayafter taxes probably like in 90 orwhatever so work was a 10-minute Drivein the morning the night before I talkedto the influencer and I scheduled thatpost for early in the morning early thenext morning so basically white rightwhen I woke up is right when he postedit like 10 minutes after I woke up iswhen he made the post go live because uma lot of the people on his page werefrom East Coast it was three hours aheadso I will go back the six am I the postwent live and a lot of people saw thatat 9:00 a.m. and on the way to workwhich was a ten minute drive I actuallymade $60 and so I was driving my FordFusion and I was like I was just in thecar and I just heard that sound the Kingand then I was like okay what like Imean that was quick I came in to anothersale and by the time I got to work I hadalready made like $60 and I think thatwas like five four or five sales I'm acouple people a couple people werebuying more than one product and while Iwas talking to the people there rightbefore I was starting my shift I madelike another one and then I made anotherone and so basically throughout theentire day I was making sales in Manoaand I cannot tell you how happy I was soby the end of the day by the time Istopped working by 6:00 p.m. I had madelike like I said a hundred bucks fromcaregiving and then my Shopify storeactually for the first time grossed $400in one day so that completely blew mymind for the first time I was profitablebecause of that day like I caught upwith all the other bad days I have andlike I think maybe I broke even orsomething at that point I was justbarely profitable but I immediatelycaught up all my stuff and I was justeither broken even or barely profitableI don't remember but throughout thatentire day I was writing down everysingle order what they ordered what timethey ordered it and I you know for theinfluencer I would write the influencerat the very top of my page I literallyhad a notebook and the notebook isfilled with pages now sorry I had anotebook it was filled with pages ofdifferent influencers and different adsand different copies and differentoffers and I wish I could find thenotebook I can't find it and if I dofind out one day I'll show you guys andI'll make a youtube video about itmoving on so I started to post on himevery single day I bought like fiveshoutouts in advance because he wouldgive me a deal if I if I bought five andthat would just make the advertisementscheaper which would make me more moneyhe would just make my margins bigger soI bought five more shots and then I kepton going and I kept on going and thatinfluence has started to get a littlebit less everyall day because that's what happens ifyou promote the same offer and the samepicture in the same product daily isthat people will start to get annoyedand I didn't know that at the time butthe way you should be doing it is youshould be promoting like maybe two orthree times a weekdifferent pictures different offersdifferent products just so that youdon't saturate or annoy all thefollowers that are following thatinfluencers so moving on um I decided tostart looking for other influencers andI found one with 800,000 followers andhe was charging $100 for 24 hours and Iimmediately said no and I waited acouple days and I'm you know scheduledanother post with that old one and itdidn't do it as well so I came back tothis guy and I said all right you knowI'll give it a shot I was like let's doit for 80 bucks for 24 hours see whathappens so that's what we did I did itfor $80 24-hour posts and I think thatday I made like seven hundred and eightydollars off that influencer so that wasinsane I remember I was actually on myway to play volleyball with mybrother-in-law and my two friends in theback and I was literally just gettingsales and they were all so confused andI was like I was like dude seven hundredand eighty dollars it was like 7 p.m.and I was on my way to play body puffsbut anyway at that point I realized howto isolate variables and that's a veryimportant thing that I preach a lot thatmost people don't talk about but I wasable to figure out that the influencerswas one of the most important things andthe reason I was able to find goodinfluencers is because I talked to themand I would say how long have you beenadvertising for and if they said notvery long at all I knew that they wouldnot be saturated and I could make moremoney off them so that is something thatI really stretch so go find influencersthat haven't been advertising foreverbecause your chances to be profitableare a lot higher and then I found veryshortly that the product I promoted onthat big influencer with 800,000followers that specific watch was just avery good product so I know I had a goodinfluencer I know I had a good product agood offer and basically just doingthose things building up thoseinfluencers and having a notebook withall my successful influencers and all myunsuccessful influencers it was veryeasy for me to isolate all the variablesthat are bad and good and take the goodones and make them work so when Ieventually moved over to Facebook andTwitter I already had a good product Ialready had a good offer I knew mywebsite was good and it was basicallyeasier it was like 50 percent easier forme to go to Facebook and work because Iwasn't completely blindyou know if say for example you startedwithand you have no knowledge at all it'sgoing to be harder because you don'tknow if you have a good project and youdon't know if you have a good offer butthe way I started enabled me to go intoFacebook not 100% blind which made iteasier for me on Facebook as wellso I've told that story multiple timesand like I just kept my own with thatinfluencer and I think the first monthlike I said I made I grow staff I'vebrand and overall like thisI just really love telling the storybecause it's super fun like it's supermotivating and I like seeing people'sreactions to it I remember on BlackFriday I ran the same the sameinfluencer with the same product and allI did was change it to Black Friday saleand then I gave like a higher percentageoff and then that day I gross like $1300on that first store that I had so itdidn't take me more than 30 days tostart seeing some pretty cool resultsand I think that the reason was becauseI was so dedicated and so like I'm goingto make this work no matter whatI literally just wrote down every singleminut detail and I planned everythingand I mapped out everything and I justhad like an entire drawing board in thisnotebook of what went well and what wentwrong and how to focus on the goodthings and it was just crazy it was justa really crazy experience but I wouldsay that the reason I was successful andhow I became successful in the first 30days is because I tested because I triedso many different things and everythingthat I tried I wrote down and I was sodedicated to to get resultant to seeresults that I didn't care aboutanything else I was just like I'm goingto test test test test absolutelyeverything I tested like ten differentproducts like ten different add picturesI eventually ordered those products andtook my own pictures and I tested thosetoo and it worked really welldifferent copies different influencers Itested everything and I wrote everythingdown and I think that's what enabled meto be successful and I think that mostpeople don't do that I think most peopledon't put in the effort to writeabsolutely everything down I mean I hadlike I had an entire book basically withjust dates and decimals and numbers andmoney and and profit and gross and howmuch I made I literally had like anentire book it was like a notebookfilled with stuff and I just don't thinkthat most people will go through theextra step or take the extra step to dothat and to put in that much effort soif I were to say what if I were to saythat one thing that made me successfulin 30 daysI would just say that that the thedesire to have it the I will do anythingI will test anything I didn't care Ijust wanted to get results was more thananything and then I would say anotherthing was just writing everything downnot making the same mistake twiceanybody that does something does thesame thing twice and expects a differentoutcome is insane according to AlbertEinstein so I didn't do the same thingtwice I was always trying new things andI think that's what enabled me to dowell my very first month so I'm gonnacut it at that guys I hope that youenjoyed this video just recording thisvideo I made another shop of myself fromfrom this store and it was
