I sold it in the summer of last year. I got a big wire in July while I was in Italy.

AutoDS bought it. They wanted our loyal customer base, my training inside their platform, and the relationship with me as the lead educator. It’s been a win for them.

I’ve been on YouTube since 2011 and started my current channel in 2017. Every year I make a drop shipping guide and aim to rank number one. It’s intentional, SEO and consistent guides.

No. My career has been a slow, steady climb. Some videos popped, but no one moment changed everything.

Editing videos for gaming clans back in the Modern Warfare 2 days. Getting paid to edit hooked me. I didn’t want a job after that.

After my first year of college. A mini projector worked first, then a knife sharpener became my first $100K a month product, about $20–30K profit.

Everything. Two months prior I had $400 in my account. At $30K a month, life felt lit without the headaches of $100K plus months.

Easier and cheaper than today, but I still needed two months of testing to learn it.

Real skills: advertising, Facebook ads, working with suppliers, website and marketing. The model has a bad rep because of low quality players, not the skills.

Service can start with almost no money but you hit a wall at about 20 clients. E com needs some money to learn, but a winning product can scale to $100K a month.

We took him from near broke to $1K a day. First we fixed his mobile detailing with door to door and ads, then used that cash to test products. Best day hit around $1,700. Product was a nail fungus patch.

You go through the funnel, we build a store with AI, you start a Shopify free trial, and when you convert after trial we get a commission. I can’t share terms, but that’s the play.

It felt great getting the wire, but selling isn’t always glamorous. There are ups and downs and years when it doesn’t make money. When the money hits, it’s nice, but it took about five years.

I traveled and enjoyed it, but I was also asking what to do next. I launched a YouTube coaching program, took a break from posting, then came back and built momentum again.

Be real, show the good and the bad. Adapt your content. The game changes. My channel mirrors my life: e com, interviews to a million subs, then back to documenting what I do now.

For 90% of people, build a cash flow business and you’ll be happy. Equity is how you get truly wealthy, but you must stomach 3–5 plus years of little to no results.

Road to 2M on YouTube, keep posting TikToks, take it less serious and have fun with it, grow the free offer as high as it can go, and build another software company using everything I learned.
