How to Make Your First $10,000 While Still in School (STEP BY STEP) — Transcript
Full transcript
- 0:00Hey future millionaires, if you don't
- 0:01know me, hi, my name is Isabella and I
- 0:03became a millionaire within 2 years
- 0:04thanks to the power of online business
- 0:06and social media. I am living proof that
- 0:08you can make money online and go to
- 0:11school all at the same time. So, whether
- 0:13you are in high school or college, this
- 0:15video is for you. If you don't want to
- 0:17be like everybody else in life, broke,
- 0:18stressed, stuck in the cycle, you need
- 0:21to focus on one thing, making your first
- 0:2310K. Because something that I've learned
- 0:25after doing this for a very long time is
- 0:27if you can make your first $1 online,
- 0:29you can make a million. The first time
- 0:31that I actually made money online, I was
- 0:33just 16 years old. And when I first
- 0:35started, I had no money to start with,
- 0:37no connections, no rich parents, and no
- 0:39handouts. All I had was big dreams for
- 0:41my life and I knew that just by being on
- 0:43my phone or laptop, I could make
- 0:45something happen. I also failed out of
- 0:47high school and actually went up
- 0:48finishing in a dropout prevention
- 0:49program, so I am no smarter than anybody
- 0:51else. And at that time, I thought that
- 0:52college was not even possible for me, so
- 0:54I was like, "Ooh, I better figure it
- 0:55out." You don't have to be a genius to
- 0:56actually become rich and successful in
- 0:58your life. And my goal was never to make
- 1:00millions of dollars. My original goal
- 1:02was just to make an extra couple hundred
- 1:03dollars a month online and then
- 1:04eventually maybe a couple thousand
- 1:05dollars a month online. Now, as a
- 1:07self-made millionaire, I can tell you
- 1:09that making your first 10K is the
- 1:11hardest. But once I hit that, everything
- 1:14changed. It wasn't about the money, it
- 1:16was about proving to myself that making
- 1:19money, especially online money, is a
- 1:20skill, never luck. Once I figured out
- 1:23how to make 10K once, I could do it
- 1:25again and again and again and grow that.
- 1:26And I eventually scaled it into real
- 1:28wealth. When I restarted my
- 1:29entrepreneurship journey 5 years ago, I
- 1:31was actually then in dental hygiene
- 1:32school full-time. And that was when I
- 1:35made my first $30,000 in 1 month. Since
- 1:38then, my life has changed so much. So,
- 1:41if I had to start from zero and make my
- 1:43first 10K all over again while also
- 1:46being in school, here's exactly how I
- 1:48would do it in three steps. The first
- 1:50step is figuring out what the heck you
- 1:52want to do. Because there's so many
- 1:54different things out there. When you
- 1:55open Instagram or you open TikTok or you
- 1:57go on YouTube, you are like blasted with
- 1:59so many ideas. And I know how that can
- 2:02feel overwhelming. When you're just
- 2:04starting out, you need something that
- 2:05requires little to no money to start,
- 2:08especially if you're in school. And
- 2:09then, consistently can put cash in your
- 2:11pockets. The best option, I think, is
- 2:14selling something online.
- 2:16You guys might think I'm an extrovert
- 2:17now cuz I learned how to talk on camera,
- 2:19but I am actually a very shy person.
- 2:21Some people will tell you go wash cars.
- 2:23Okay, I was too shy for that. Or like go
- 2:24knock on doors and do something at like
- 2:26no, I wasn't doing that. That's why I
- 2:28always loved the idea of online
- 2:30business. And on this channel, we don't
- 2:32just talk about how to make money
- 2:33online, I actually show you how. So,
- 2:36when finding like what exact thing you
- 2:38want to do online, I actually made the
- 2:40first video in my start here playlist on
- 2:42my YouTube channel actually helps you
- 2:45find the right online business model to
- 2:46start for you. So, definitely go watch
- 2:49that video. I'll link that down in the
- 2:50description box below. Definitely go
- 2:52watch that video, but in in general, you
- 2:55need a product to sell or a service. So,
- 2:58types of different products you can sell
- 3:00are here. Or you can sell online
- 3:01services. I'll put those here. Both
- 3:03require time, obviously, but you might
- 3:06see one here that interests you more.
- 3:08So, to find your skill, I want you guys
- 3:11to ask yourself these three questions.
- 3:12What interests you? What do you enjoy
- 3:15learning about? What problems do
- 3:17businesses or people around you
- 3:19currently struggle with? Anything can be
- 3:21learned. Anything from these lists can
- 3:23be learned and started with zero
- 3:25experience. And I'm living proof of
- 3:27that. You just have to enjoy the
- 3:28process. When I first started, I
- 3:30personally picked the drop shipping
- 3:32physical product route. That was the
- 3:34first online business that I ever
- 3:35started. You can never go wrong with
- 3:37selling a product, whether it's physical
- 3:40or digital product. Digital products
- 3:41really weren't around when I first
- 3:43started, but digital products I can also
- 3:45see that have they have great potential.
- 3:47So, both physical products and digital
- 3:49products are great ways to go. I do have
- 3:51free courses, in-depth courses,
- 3:53step-by-step for both of these on my
- 3:54YouTube channel. And if you go the
- 3:56physical product route, you can actually
- 3:58start a physical product store without
- 4:00even holding any inventory. So, you can
- 4:02start that with little to no money.
- 4:04Whether you start a physical or digital
- 4:05product store, these also become digital
- 4:06assets for you long term. That's why I
- 4:09like them because it's even something
- 4:10that you could eventually sell for a lot
- 4:12of money in later times. If you decide
- 4:15you want to switch to something else or
- 4:16do something different. So, just to show
- 4:18you guys how easy it is to actually
- 4:20start this, let me just show you as an
- 4:21example how easy it is to start one of
- 4:23these online business models. For
- 4:25example, you can use a free AI store
- 4:27builder and get your store built for you
- 4:28in seconds. To start this, I actually
- 4:30put this link for this one right down in
- 4:32my description box below. And once you
- 4:33click that link, it will bring you to
- 4:35this page. First thing you'll do here is
- 4:37click build my free store. First thing
- 4:40for us to do to get our store is to
- 4:42create our Shopify account. So, let's
- 4:44enter in our details and then we just
- 4:46click create account. And then, we're
- 4:49going to just click claim store. Now,
- 4:52it's going to direct us right back over
- 4:54to the store builder.
- 4:56Then, all we need to do is activate our
- 4:58Shopify plan in order to launch our
- 5:00store. So, let's just click activate my
- 5:03store.
- 5:04You'll get the 3 months for a dollar
- 5:05with us. So, you'll finish with this
- 5:07part and then click I'm done. And you
- 5:10just choose your niche from the options
- 5:12or you can just pick that you're not
- 5:13sure yet. You can select a banner for
- 5:15your store and you can always customize
- 5:17change it later.
- 5:19And you now have a complete online store
- 5:21in minutes. Minutes, guys. Like, so
- 5:24something like this would get you 90%
- 5:26done. Then, you just go in, do the
- 5:27customizations, change it up, make it
- 5:29look beautiful. And you guys can see
- 5:31this literally built us a full website,
- 5:34a homepage with banners and branding,
- 5:36welcome text already written, a clean
- 5:37store layout, product pages already
- 5:39created, bundle deals implemented,
- 5:41product descriptions written, images
- 5:43already added. And you guys can see it
- 5:45even loaded in winning products. Well, I
- 5:48wish this was around when I started cuz
- 5:49it would have been way easier to
- 5:50actually start. And how it works is when
- 5:52somebody places an order on this site,
- 5:55the supplier will ship these products
- 5:57straight to the buyer and you will keep
- 5:58the profits. You don't have to hold
- 6:00inventory or worry about any shipping
- 6:02yourself. For more products or products
- 6:04to add to your store, you can search on
- 6:06platforms like AliExpress or DHGate to
- 6:08find products and then put them in your
- 6:09store and fulfill them manually or you
- 6:12can use an all-in-one app like this one
- 6:14which is called Oberlo DS. And when I
- 6:16first started on 16, I did the manual
- 6:18route cuz it wasn't even around. These
- 6:20automated apps were not around back
- 6:22then. And it definitely It's just crazy
- 6:24like tools like this make it so much
- 6:26easier. So, let me show you for example
- 6:27like how this would work if you were to
- 6:29use this.
- 6:30They have built-in product search
- 6:31features on their website here under
- 6:33marketplace. And these are the four main
- 6:35product research sections that they have
- 6:37that I use now for my own product
- 6:39research which is the handpicked
- 6:40products tab, ads by trending products,
- 6:43and TikTok analytics.
- 6:45This handpicked products tab, you can
- 6:47find high-performing products that have
- 6:48already undergone full like analysis.
- 6:51And there's literally a team that's
- 6:52picking them every single day adding
- 6:54them for you here. And you can narrow
- 6:56down this search by country, price
- 6:58range, and category. And they also have
- 7:00this fast shipping button which will
- 7:01show you the products with the fastest
- 7:03shipping times. These products have
- 7:05crazy fast shipping times, sometimes
- 7:06around only two days. And they also
- 7:08update this every single day so you can
- 7:10always find new products here.
- 7:12>> [snorts]
- 7:12>> And if we click on a product, let me
- 7:14just show you guys how like cool this
- 7:16is.
- 7:16You can see like look how much profit
- 7:18this product is making, insane profit
- 7:19margins. So, you can make a lot per sale
- 7:22and like this product specifically is
- 7:23going crazy right now. So, you guys can
- 7:25see exactly how to price the product,
- 7:27shows what the profit of the product is,
- 7:30who the target audience is, and even
- 7:31shows competitors that are selling it
- 7:33right now. So, in seconds we've already
- 7:35validated that this is a winner. You can
- 7:37also use this ads by feature which
- 7:39allows you to oversee active ads and
- 7:41like how they are making the ads, how
- 7:44they're being promoted, and like what's
- 7:45actually working. And under the TikTok
- 7:48analytics, you can see how much money
- 7:50products are making on TikTok Shop, for
- 7:51example, which some people do go that
- 7:54route, which is just so like also
- 7:55something you can do in addition to your
- 7:57own online store, but I do personally
- 8:00recommend having your own online store
- 8:01first. And you can just see all the
- 8:04products here that are going viral,
- 8:05who's selling them, and which videos are
- 8:06driving those sales. So, if you guys do
- 8:09want to try out our ideas, I'll put the
- 8:10link for this one also down in my
- 8:11description box below for you guys.
- 8:13Everything, all the resources that you
- 8:15need, I will put there. So, you guys can
- 8:16see just like using these AI tools, it
- 8:18helps us just move way faster. And this
- 8:21would have taken me weeks of hard work
- 8:23to actually put this together, sometimes
- 8:24months. Like I pretty sure took me when
- 8:27I first started like months to actually
- 8:28start. So, it's just so cool how easy it
- 8:31is to actually get started nowadays. And
- 8:33obviously, there's way more to this
- 8:34online business model. So, again, I have
- 8:36the full free in-depth course for this
- 8:38on my YouTube channel, which will also
- 8:40be linked down below in my description.
- 8:41Not only do I go over how to start in
- 8:43depth, but I also show you guys how to
- 8:45get your first sale, and how to actually
- 8:47market properly. I even have a 100% free
- 8:50playlist just dedicated to marketing.
- 8:52So, definitely, you will find all of
- 8:53that on my YouTube channel. So, as a
- 8:56student, I know you guys' time is
- 8:58limited. My time was extremely limited.
- 9:00Like especially when I was in dental
- 9:01hygiene school. If you guys don't
- 9:02already know, dental hygiene school was
- 9:04literally like nursing school, like with
- 9:06how intense it is, how much pressure it
- 9:08puts on you. And I
- 9:11I'm just showing you guys that like if I
- 9:13could do it while I was in that crazy
- 9:15hard program, and I was also still
- 9:17working, by the way. I was still working
- 9:19at the same time while going to school.
- 9:22Every single day, this is like
- 9:23personally what I did. Every single day,
- 9:25I would come home, probably like it
- 9:26would be like an all day thing, probably
- 9:27get home at like 4:00, 5:00, and then I
- 9:30would eat, and then I would do my
- 9:31content. I would do whatever it was, I
- 9:33would study, whatever I was doing,
- 9:35because I personally prioritized
- 9:37marketing, because like once you get it
- 9:38set up, then it's done. You don't have
- 9:39to keep setting it up 100 times. Set up
- 9:41is something you do once. But the
- 9:43content and the marketing was what set
- 9:45me apart. And again, I didn't even show
- 9:47my face for that. So, I don't want to
- 9:48hear like, "Oh, you probably showed your
- 9:49face. Oh, you knew how to talk on
- 9:50camera." I didn't know how to talk on
- 9:51camera. I didn't know like I didn't want
- 9:53to show my face cuz I like wasn't really
- 9:55ready for that. And
- 9:57I didn't want to embarrass myself
- 9:58because you know when you start
- 9:59something new, you're always like, "Uh,
- 10:00I don't know how this is going to be."
- 10:01And I didn't have help from nobody in my
- 10:03life. Like I didn't want to have um
- 10:05people knowing. even post it on my main
- 10:07Instagram profile because I didn't want
- 10:09nobody in my school or my life to know
- 10:11what I was doing. I'm really weird about
- 10:13that. Like I just never expected support
- 10:15from family or friends because it won't
- 10:18be there anyways. Like that's just the
- 10:20reality. Like if you go and tell all
- 10:21your family and friends like what you're
- 10:22doing, they're probably not going to
- 10:23support you. They'll probably discourage
- 10:24you. Strangers are always going to be
- 10:27your biggest supporters. But time
- 10:29management-wise, I definitely think that
- 10:31it's like it's one of those things
- 10:32that's like if you have a goal, if you
- 10:34have a vision to do something, you just
- 10:36like do it naturally. You want to do it.
- 10:38You want to put the time into it. So,
- 10:40for me that was like personally just I
- 10:42saw that it could be something more than
- 10:44even what I was going to school for. And
- 10:45obviously my parents like pushed me to
- 10:48um you know stay in school and go to do
- 10:50my dental hygiene. Um
- 10:52Now, I'm [snorts] never going to do that
- 10:53in my life. Like I'm pretty much I'm
- 10:54retired at this point. But like the
- 10:56whole moral of the story is just that a
- 10:58lot of times you're like the college
- 11:00career that you might even be in college
- 11:01for. Like maybe one day you might not
- 11:03want to do it anymore. Like for example,
- 11:04I have a lot of girls that I went to
- 11:06school with. They did it for like um a
- 11:08little bit and then they got you know a
- 11:10problem with their back or something and
- 11:11they couldn't do it. So, it's like this
- 11:13type of income, in my opinion, just like
- 11:16making money online, being
- 11:16self-resourceful, being an online
- 11:18entrepreneur is such a blessing in our
- 11:20generation. We should want to take
- 11:22advantage of that blessing and actually
- 11:24make it happen for ourselves to where if
- 11:27we see that we can do something that
- 11:29generations before us was never able to
- 11:31do, like why would we not want to take
- 11:33advantage of that and do that? So that
- 11:35was always like in my head like I have
- 11:37to try to break through. I have to try
- 11:39to do something because this it truly is
- 11:42now looking back on it the biggest
- 11:43opportunity in our generation. So again,
- 11:46I hope you guys learned lots from
- 11:47today's video guys. You guys already
- 11:49know my YouTube channel is your number
- 11:50one source for 100% free education and

- 12:02get it from really anywhere else and um
- 12:05that was the whole goal of when I
- 12:07started my YouTube channel after I
- 12:08became successful was to do that for you
- 12:09guys to create a space something that I
- 12:11never had that I wish I had when I first
