And number nine is the one where there's serious money to be made. I'm talking $2,000 in a single day for a single gig. And you don't have to be an influencer. You don't have to show up on the internet.
You don't have to be talking to people. But starting out, if you're starting with zero and you want to start making money first before you put your money into anything, then you definitely want to use... Girl, I used to be exactly where you are right now.
A few years ago, I worked in corporate. and I really wanted to quit my job. And so I was watching all of these side hustle videos, entrepreneurship, small business ideas. And a lot of those videos told me to start a YouTube channel. There was a huge opportunity back then.
And I did, I actually took action on what I was watching. And that is why you have access to me right now. But the truth is YouTube has become very competitive.
I'm not even going to hold you. There are new opportunities right now. And if you take advantage of them the same way I was able to change my life.
quit my job, move abroad. I moved out of the U.S. That's a story for another day. I've been featured in media.
I travel a lot. My life has completely changed because I took action on the content I was actually watching in a way that aligned with my purpose, which is to empower women financially. And why have I shared all of that with you?
There's a new opportunity right now as well, just the same way YouTube and content creation was a massive opportunity two, three, four years ago. There's a brand new opportunity called print on demand and it is so hot right now that if you don't get in don't say Vanessa didn't tell you. There are multiple business ideas that can be executed through the print on demand business model and I'm going to share 10 of those with you in today's video.
So if number one doesn't work for you number seven might and if you miss every one of these 10 make sure you don't miss number nine because with number nine you're going to be pairing one of the easiest business models with one of the fastest and highest paying industries we have. today. So you want to make sure you watch the video all the way to the very end, but beyond watching this video, girl, come close and listen to me. When you clock out of work today, sit down on your laptop and execute what I'm telling you to execute. And don't worry, in this video, I'm going to share every single tool that you need to get started so that this would not be your year of excuses.
So that at the end of this year, if your goal is to quit your job and become your own. boss, you would have enough money generated and enough business confidence to do so because we don't want to be out here quitting without a plan. You want to make sure that you already have money saved, your business is already making money, and you can see a clear path ahead of you before you quit.
So if you're ready to pick up these gems, then please go ahead and hit the like button. One, it's free and two, it helps this video go out to more women like you. So girl, let's get into it.
Okay, number one. Number one is to create mental health products. Now, hear me out. You do not have to be a therapist or a psychologist or someone who is so great at producing or running a product based business.
This is kind of like digital products, except with physical products. And I'm going to explain this in a second. The girls, you and I are beginning to take our self care, our mental health very seriously as we should.
right? But that also means that there's a huge market. There's demand.
There are people who now want things that would help them with their mental health, like journals. Journals that include affirmations or self-care prompts. Now, if you choose to start a journaling company like, say, Ivory Paper Co., for example, you can see that she has a lot of machines. She has people on her team.
Everything is physical. She's building everything from scratch. That is a way that you can eventually... become but starting out if you're starting with zero and you want to start making money first before you put your money into anything then you definitely want to use the print on demand model what is the print on demand model it's exactly what it sounds like you only print the products that your customers want when they demand for it so for example if you want to sell journals you don't have to order journals.
You don't have to create the journals from scratch. All you have to do is use a print on demand tool. And I would recommend that you use the largest one on the market.
The one that brands like Coca-Cola use for their merch. And it is called Printful. The best thing about using a tool like Printful is that they have a wide variety of products to select from. Like if you wanted to do journals, they've got it. If you wanted to do mugs, they've got it.
They've literally got everything that you can think of selling. using the print on demand model. But on top of that, when you put your designs on the product that you want, they would do the heavy lifting of printing the journal, of packaging the journal, of shipping the journal to your customer. And it won't even be branded as Printful. It will be branded with your brand name.
So if you want to call your journal Self-Care for Women or the Healing Girl Squad or something along those lines, you can call your brand whatever it is. you want to call your brand and because printful is credible and large they integrate well with everything so if you decide to use your own website like through shopify for example they've got you and if you decide that no you want a marketplace that already has demand for this stuff like etsy they've also got you so if you're like girl don't tell me anything further i'm ready to start print on demand then i'm just going to put the link to the tool that i mentioned down in the description box and in the comment section so you can get started immediately. Okay, number two. Number two is to tap into the growing fitness industry.
Now there's one woman that inspires me so, so, so, so, so much. Her name is Chrissy Chella. She's an immigrant. She migrated to the UK on a boat. on a boat girl and she's been able to build this massive empire called honor active and it is a fitness and physical care company I also know someone who is my husband's friend's sister and she owns a brand called Koboko Fitness her channel is so massive now for brands like that what it takes for example if you're a mom who's been able to lose weight so if you work out or you did some specific exercises to lose weight you can start working out on these here internet street but here's the gag one if you don't want people to know it's you don't use your name I watched a video the other day with operation Nikki talking about she created a new page called operation Nikki and nobody in her immediate circle or in her family knew it was her you can do that too but you won't stop there When you grow your audience to a certain size and they come to you to watch fitness videos, then you can start selling fitness products to them.
And you don't even have to worry about the back end stuff because all of this is using the print on demand model. And even if you don't have an audience yet, you can do what I did when I was watching videos like this a few years ago. So I used to watch people like Lavish Ruby and Patricia Bright talk about money and side hustles and all these things and I wanted to be them so bad.
So you know what I did? I spent my launch breaks creating a YouTube channel. I wasn't ready to film videos yet, I wasn't ready to put the videos out, but I created the channel anyway and it was a constant reminder that I had to do this. So if you're someone who wants to take advantage of print on demand, don't just watch this video and think, oh yeah these are nice ideas, maybe I'll get to one.
Alright, I'm procrastinating clearly. Take action. You can just sign up, decide on the product, that you want to use. Pull out a Google Docs sheet and list out the different products you think you'll be good at selling.
Then on the other side, also list out groups of people who might want to buy from you. So for example, if you're a mom who's lost weight, other moms might want to hear from you. If you're a woman who takes self-care seriously, then you might want to do the journals.
Like decide which space would fit for you. But these are just two. I still have...
eight to share with you and number nine is the one where there's serious money to be made. I'm talking two thousand dollars in a single day for a single gig so let's keep going. Number three.
Number three is to take advantage of the celebration industry. I'm talking about cookouts, family reunions, birthday parties, especially for older people who are turning 60 or 70. They're constantly wanting to have t-shirts that have their family names on it. Have you noticed? You go to a barbecue and everybody has the family name. You get invited for a book whose birthday party and everyone has a shirt with the person's name on it You can be the person making those shirts and you don't even have to look for a manufacturer You don't need a quick cut maker.
You don't need to package it by yourself You can just use the print on demand business model. And if you're like, okay, but girl, where do I find customers? We're going to talk about that after I share it number 10 because that's very important It's one thing to make these products is another thing to actually find customers.
So we're going to talk about that later in the video as well because that's super important. You can't just be out here signing up to print on demand making products and then when you're done making your design it's crickets. No we don't want that.
We're getting to the bag this year okay. You really go get the bag. Number four number four is to tap into the gender reveal mom-to-be industry.
They're constantly wanting to use some kind of merch or the other to say it's a boy it's a girl it's getting really wild but I'm not complaining because Whenever things get wild, there's money to be made. And the women in this community are going to get that money. Okay? Okay. So think gift-worthy blankets that say things like, it's a girl or it's a boy, you know?
Or newborn sets that are personalized with a baby's name. Now, the personalized gifts industry is wild. People are making serious money. Girl, when I tell you print-on-demand is the hot thing right now, it really truly is.
And you don't have to be an influencer. You don't have to show up on the internet. You don't have to be talking to people. If this is not your vibe, and if this is too competitive for you, get into print on demand.
Number five, if you're already a corporate girly, Girl, you can start a side hustle that actually serves people in your office. If you're a lawyer, for example, you can have mugs that have witty sayings like, I might be a lawyer, but I'm also that girl. Or something creative. Like, you can come up with whatever works in your industry. And people are going to laugh and be like, where'd you get that cup from?
And you'd be like, it's my store. And you'd be like, I sell them. Do you want one?
You can do that with your shirts. You can do that with cups. You can do that in your office. These things sell.
themselves and you don't have to do it the way it was done back in the day when people like milano du rouge were out here looking for suppliers looking for people to print we now have technology and we have tools that handle all of that stuff so get in there number six you can focus on serving the gen z market girl i see them put these headbands these personalized headbands when they're about to wear their makeup and i also see how much those cost meanwhile you can get them for cheaper put the customization on it and sell to these people. We're gonna talk about how to sell to them later in the video because that's also another thing that's ridiculously easy. But we'll talk about it later in the video. Number seven is to make tote bags for events. You can set up an Instagram page and follow people who are constantly doing masterminds because everyone and their mamas are out here doing masterminds.
I don't even know who the master is anymore. Mastermind everywhere. But people are out here doing masterminds, events, this, that, you. can help them do tote bags for those events. And if 100 people show up, you make 100 times whatever you sell those bags for in a single day.
In a single day. So if you sell them at a profit of $20 and you have 100 people to serve, that is $2,000 from one gig in one day. There's money to be made.
I don't know why a lot of us are not... Wake up, okay? Wake up.
Number eight is to sell plastic cups. at weddings yes I'm very very specific because look at this company on Etsy look at how much money they made this person has made over a million dollars selling nothing but plastic cups but weddings people have to drink right oh I just love I love when I love when we think when we're very strategic about how we think and how we show up in whatever we choose to show up in because people care about their weddings people want custom cups at their wedding so they pay money for these custom cups and you would always be in demand because people will constantly get married even though there are stats that say oh people get divorced 50 of people people will still get married and because people will still get married you will be in business and that is why when i saw this specific product plastic cups i'm an adrian girl so every now and then i would code switch for you so you can get it plastic cups nothing but plastic cups and they've made over a million dollars like do the math look at how many thousand have been sold look at how much is being sold for plastic cups number eight was leading to number nine because let me tell you something the wedding industry is a multi-billion dollar industry and if you decide to play in that space for your side hustle it doesn't matter if you decide to be a bridal stylist it doesn't matter if you decide to be a photographer or if you decide to create printable products for people's big days you will cash out but beyond that let's get specific i went on to the website that i used a lot when i was planning my wedding Etsy. I talk about Etsy a lot and Etsy can be a little bit hard to break into. That's why I'm going to share a more specific website after number 10. I went on there just to do research and I found what is one of the most popular wedding related items that people search for?
Bridesmaid gifts. Because you don't want to be a bridezilla. You don't want to be that girl who's asking people to pay money for your bridesmaid dresses and you're not giving them anything.
People are going all out for their bridesmaids these days. They're giving them cups, they're giving them robes, they're giving them shirts. Who do you think is cashing out when that happens? people who run print on demand side businesses and girl it could be you it could be you and you need two things to start one you need a way to print ship and deliver these products and i've already shared that with you and i've also put the link in the description box but two you also need a way to let people know that you exist so if you want to tap into the wedding industry specifically i found a website where people are getting paid to create merch specifically for weddings and it is called WeddingWire. What have I said you need now?
One, you need a Google Doc, which is free99.com. Set up a Google account if you don't have one. Two, you need a printful subscription. I've already put the link down in the description box. And three, you need to sign up to WeddingWire.
I want you to be in my inbox telling me, oh my gosh, Vanessa, I just made my first $2,000. I just made my first $3,000 because don't let anyone come out here to lie to you, especially if you're a woman in this community. I don't want you falling for things like, oh my God.
You can start an automated YouTube channel and become a millionaire. We're not gonna do that. Maybe that was possible a few years ago, but that's saturated now.
So I'm literally only sharing things that are real, credible, legal, and possible for you. to do. That said, let's head on over to number 10. If you're more of a fashion girly and you have a way to navigate the fashion industry and you've been like, oh my gosh, I want to start a fashion business, but you're like, I'm not sure where to start. I don't know how to ship things to people. This might be hard and complicated I just care about fashion and making designs Then you can start by picking one product to serve people with it could be like a scarf or something, right?
Put your design on it You can use canva to create the designs or you can do the design directly inside of print foam Whichever one scratches your creative itch now, I promised you that after number 10, I was going to tell you how to market your products and get yourself in front of people so they can actually pay you for Printful to ship the products to them. Now, there are two ways to go about this, okay? The first way is through industry-specific websites.
So for example, if you decide that you want to focus on making merch like bridal party shirts or glasses or swimsuits, or you decide that you want to make bridesmaid gifts, or cups for weddings, things along those lines. All of those things would go on to a wedding website like weddingwire.com or you can also do The Knot. Now, WeddingWire allows more for products than The Knot. The Knot is more for services, but if you want to send products to brides or grooms, then you want to go through a platform like WeddingWire. However, if you want to do anything else on this list, and you want to get in front of fresh eyeballs then it's best to use tiktok shop and hold on don't click out because you don't have to dance on tiktok you don't have to become an influencer you don't have to do any of those things you could actually even work with influencers i've made a whole video about tiktok shop and i'm gonna link it right here and you can learn how to get your products in front of the eyes of the people who want them we are getting to the bag this year i don't know what has been discouraging you.
I know it took a lot of motivation from people who love me, friends and family, and even strangers on the internet telling me that it is possible, I can do it, giving me strategies, giving me advice, giving me tips. And that's why I knew that even after I quit my job, what I would do is this. I would encourage other women, but beyond encouragement, I also want you to see me as a guide.
I'm here to share practical, actionable strategies that would actually help you get to the bag. Remember that I'm rooting for you, so please do not stop rooting for yourself. And until next time, please take care.
