  6. 6

    The Automation Reveal

    how teens are making 10k per month on their phones

Transcript

Gonna teach you guys how to make some money from your phone this summer. Worse, download Depop on your phone. Depop is pretty much just eBay, but people sell their vintage clothes, but we're not doing that. We're gonna be drop shipping. So you gotta find a reliable supplier with items that you can use to drop ship onto Depop. I personally recommend clothes, belts, and jewelry. And then use the pictures from the supplier to make listings on Depop. This shirt was, like, $15 on the supplier, so I listed it for 35. And then when somebody buys off your store, all you gotta do is copy your customer's address and then paste it into your supplier at checkout, and it's gonna ship the product straight to your customer's house. If you keep doing this every day, you can make, like, 10 k a month.
