[00:29] helicopters, cars, and more. is by launching an online one. because there are lower startup costs,

[00:41] and you have the flexibility to run the business But just because online stores are easier to start, are outdated or unachievable.

[00:53] from fried chicken shops to clothing stores. You're basically saying to become rich Disliked and unsubscribed."

[01:08] but when I started my store, I had hardly any money. with no qualifications to fall back on, I'm not gonna sit here and tell you it was easy for me

[01:23] I remember on the opening day of my first model shop, because unless I made enough money on the day, So how did I manage to start a shop

[01:37] Well, I got funding, which is something you can do too. but I took three simple steps. I identified the perfect location for a shop,

[01:52] how much money I needed, and finally how much money I thought I could make. without professional help,

[02:05] and find a free business plan template online Step two is to do some customer research. to test out if your business will actually work.

[02:20] and get so carried away with it and asking their potential customers what they think. and gathering actual data.

[02:34] and potential headaches. I did this without even knowing it This allowed me to talk to customers

[02:47] that I could fix in mine. like they probably force you to do on school trips. then it can prove to be

[03:01] Step three is to get funding. It was very hard to secure, until someone believed in me.

[03:15] funding options available such as crowdfunding. you can use platforms like Kickstarter to raise money Right, time to rank this income stream out of five stars

[04:00] because although the initial stage of, you don't have to do it all alone and crowdfunding methods that can get you there,

[04:13] Thirdly, how easy is it to make $100 per week? For this one, I'm gonna say five out of five stars. and you know the ins and outs of the niche,

[04:28] buy into not just the products, but into you. which I manufacture in China the idea of seeing my own products

[04:42] I would sit in school staring at my drawings I always thought you had to have millions of dollars, to make it a reality.

[04:57] clutching onto my designs I drew as a kid So how did I go from a kid with a dream on a piece of paper Well, I took three key steps that you can replicate

[05:12] Step one is picking a niche. If people weren't watching the latest competitions they were busy collecting kits and accessories

[05:26] It had what's known now as a cult following. You need to identify a popular niche with lasting appeal, I'd personally start by following Instagram pages

[05:38] You need to know what the people in this niche Also try to understand their challenges Take a brand like Represent, for example.

[05:52] and ended up on everyone's Christmas list. for oversized clothing within the fashion industry with their oversized hoodies and tracksuit sets.

[06:05] It's interesting because if you look at them now, with their 247 range Here in the UK,

[06:17] with 74% of people owning fitness products. because young people aren't drinking as much. and created a new clothing range to meet the demand.

[06:45] not just for what you're selling, but for the whole vibe. in the Super 10K Spartan Race rope climbs, and even swimming through icy water.

[07:02] where people go to test their limits They've built a genuine community with around 1.5 million people participating last year.

[07:15] with a whole wedding party completing the course. in your own niche. Firstly, how much time does creating your own brand take?

[07:29] because you're gonna have to put in the work. to build the audience, so you can ride with them instead of drowning in them.

[07:43] I'd give this one a three out five But once sales start rolling in, growth can happen quickly, Thirdly, how easy is it to make $100 per week?

[08:01] if you've completed steps one and two, Once you've built hype there's no reason you can't easily make $100 per week.

[08:15] and sell it online. but I made quite a name for myself in the model industry with their failing businesses.

[08:27] Before I knew it, it became a side hustle. and offered them a lump sum in exchange for their stock. and I was completely shocked by the results.

[08:43] and bought lots more failing businesses. Now my team just lists these items on eBay for me. and I never imagined my little side hustle

[08:59] "But Mark, I don't have enough money How can I do this too?" Step one is to identify businesses run by older people.

[09:15] and the traditional methods aren't as effective anymore. and you've gotta change with it if you want to stay on top. This is where you come in.

[09:31] and ask if you can try and offload then list and sell it on eBay in exchange for a commission. and you can earn some extra cash.

[09:43] Over time, you'll be able to build up profits, Step three is to use your profits This is a huge turning point

[09:56] the pricing and the customer experience. and enables you to build up a strong reputation as a seller.

[10:08] into a real business. Firstly, how much time does running an eBay shop take? Well, I'll say this is a three out of five, if not a four,

[10:22] you're simply selling someone else's stock. why you can't be selling in your sleep. I'm gonna rate this a five out of five

[10:37] especially if you're selling stuff for a commission and a great way to get stuck into business Thirdly, how easy is it to make $100 per week?

[10:52] because all you have to do is sell 50 items you've made an extra $100 that week. and let it grow over time.

[11:05] but in my humble opinion, your money's losing value due to inflation. this averages out to be a loss of 3.8% per year.

[11:20] then you're getting poorer by the second. that provides an average return of 8 to 10% every year so that you can both beat inflation and earn some profit.

[11:35] However, you can achieve returns like this A stock is a small part of a company there are two ways you can make money.

[11:49] during the time you own it, The second way is receiving dividends. Now, not all stocks pay dividends,
