7 ways to make your FIRST $100k to unlock your dream lifeš§µ
1. Remote Sales Rep
Thereās always been lots of money to be made in sales, but now anyone can access it.
As long as you have an internet connection, you can start earning five figures in commissions.
Even at my companies, we have reps pulling in 10, 20 even 50k pm.

I will say, one third of you reading this will be amazing at sales by default, another third can be taught over time, but the last third are just not cut out for it.
Thatās okay.
Sales isn't for everyone, but you'll only find out if you have what it takes is by trying it.

2. Flipping sneakers
Much like watches, people can begin to flip sneakers, but with a way lower barrier to entry.
This isnāt a field Iām an expert in, but there are limited sneaker drops all the time which resell for anywhere from 2-20x retail price.

For example, the Jordan 1 Travis lows Iām wearing retailed for $130 and are now selling for $2200.
And I'm the guy paying $2200 to someone who was smart enough to buy them first.
This is a business you can EASILY scale way beyond 100k per year.

3. Youtube
Iām gonna be honest here, this oneās hard.
No more than 10% of the people reading this have the āitā factor, but with enough time and dedication you can make this happen.
When I first started on Youtubeā¦ weāll letās just say I wasnāt where I am now.

Depending on the niche, you can even scale this to $150k+ pm, which is what my channel is sitting at right now, and itās been growing like crazy.
If youāre someone who feels the urge to create, then just get started.
Itās not too late.

4. Drop Shipping
Iāve been super skeptical of this one in the past because the margins are already so slim and customer acquisition is very expensive through paid traffic.
You can lose a lot of money, fast, if you donāt know what youāre doing.

But, with organic traffic sources like TikTok, and even Twitter, the risks are a lot lower now.
Just bear in mind that picking the winning product involves a lot of trial and error.
Regardless, this is a viable business model to make your first $100k and beyond.

5. Affiliate Marketing
This business model used to be far less accessible, it was almost reserved for people with an existing platform.
Things have changed.
Now you can easily access millions of eyeballs for FREE using TikTok or Reels.
More eyeballs = more money.

6. Online Courses
If you have specialist knowledge you can productize it in the form of an online course, and sell it.
You donāt even need anything exceptional; it can be practical.
One of the highest-grossing courses ever was on how to use excel sheetsā¦

That means lots of companies are hiring editors.
Video content is how I began my agency journey when I still had a creative agency.
A business I was able to scale to 15-25k pm at 17.
Even at my company, we have three full-time video editors and full-time thumbnail editors.

If you can frame your service to differentiate yourself from a ānormalā video editor youāre going to fare well.
For example, if you edit to optimize for retention, that's going to be a lot more valuable for a company, so they will be willing to pay you more.
