Hey, John Crestani here. And if you are broke and in college, I'm going to go over
5 different methods that you can use to make some extra beer money or
whatever you want to use it for. Or if you're just a beginner, I'm going to go over
5 different methods you can use to make money. And if you stick around
towards the end of this video, I'm actually going to go over the method that I
use to make the most money in college. I tried starting many businesses in
college. One business made me roughly 5 to 10 thousand dollars per
semester. I'll be breaking that down exactly how I did it and how you can do
it at your own college campus towards the end of this video. Stay tuned. We have
some exciting stuff to go over. Some people will be able to take this and
make some serious money. So, excited to show you. Oh, man. So, I remember the days
when I was in college. And if I was walking around with 100-dollar
bill in my wallet, I would have felt so cool. I mean, I never had hundred-dollar
bills in my wallet when I was in college. And
now it's almost like it's like funny money. It's just like it's play money
right here making millions of dollars a year. But I'm going to be showing you a
couple different methods that you can make money as a broke college student. I
was a broke college student. I started business about when I was a junior in
college. And I started making quite a bit of money. And I started making 5 to
10 thousand dollars per semester doing a couple of these different businesses.
I'll break them down and show you towards the end here exactly the
business that made me the most money. And that can be duplicated by anybody at any
college anywhere in the world if you just apply it. So, stay tuned. But the
first method I'm going to talk about is a pretty easy one to do. And it's a
really good way to make a lot of money which is called drop shipping. So, drop
shipping is when you purchase a product from a site like Alibaba for cheap. And
then you sell it on a site like eBay or Amazon for more than you bought it for.
Now, you can do this without ever touching the product, without ever
the product, without having it come to your house. You can do this simply by
arbitrage mean cheaper products from other countries selling them to people
where who will pay more for them in countries like America or UK or Germany
Australia. Now, the second method to make money online is or just make money as a
college student is ecommerce. Now, e-commerce is you're actually buying the
product before you're shipping it out. So, drop shipping is you know, I'm not going
to go into all the problems with that. But basically there can be quality
concerns. Because you're buying the product after somebody has paid you. So,
it's really cheap to get started with drop shipping. But you'll probably end up
getting a lot of refunds. Because people don't like to wait you know, a week or
2 or 3 to have their product arrive on their doorstep. With e-commerce,
it starts a little more to get started you're doing stuff like Amazon FBA.
That's the typical thing with e-commerce. So, you're buying the products in advance.
Now, in my case, I started an eBay business in college and I just looked for the
best selling products on eBay. And I found a product that I could find a
supplier for. I could buy it for cheaper. And sell it for more and I bought a
bunch of these products I didn't have a lot of money. But I did have a couple
hundred dollars. And I had done pretty good research and analysis to figure out
that I believed... And this was back in 2009. I believed very strongly that if I
bought this product and I just listed it, I could sell a lot of it. And that's what
I did. And I started selling products on eBay. I was making a couple hundred
dollars a day for a little period of time. I won't go into the issues ran into
in that business. But uh basically, that is a very good way to make money. So buy
products for cheap sell them for more. And pretty easy. But once again, you have
to have some money to get started. There's a lot of competitors. They can
bring down your margins and stuff like that happens. The next business is pretty
interesting. So, it's kind of like... What I'm doing right now is I'm teaching on
YouTube. And from my YouTube channel, I make about $15,000 a
month in ad revenue. Now, that is a drop in the bucket compared to what my entire
business makes. My entire business makes it almost a million
dollars a month. I'll talk about that actually in number 4. But this is
teaching online, okay? So, you could teach online on YouTube and make money. Now,
teaching channels like mine, you can basically make a full time income if you
get up to maybe around you know, let's say of income of $4,000 a
month. If you once you reach around 50 to 100 thousand subscribers. So,
once you get up to that 50 to 100 thousand subscriber mark, you can start
earning real money. You can teach online on YouTube. Or you could also teach
online on udemy. Now, what's great about teaching online is that you don't have
to spend a lot of money doing it. And if you have a cell phone or any sort of
phone camera, that's good enough to film video in. I mean the cameras on
modern-day phones are amazing. Now, on a site like udemy, you're actually selling
courses. Now, unfortunately, udemy has a lot of control over how to sell courses.
But you will make anywhere from 10 to 100 dollars per student who buys
your course do udemy. And you don't even have to have your own website. So,
you don't need to know anything about technology and you can literally teach
the stuff that you're already learning in college. Now, the college system is
flawed. It makes no sense that you have 100,000 universities around the
world all teaching the same subjects. When you could just instead of having
100,000 professors teaching the same thing, you could just have one
really interesting 10 really interesting professors on the internet
teaching that subject. The future of Education is online, folks. So, I'd get on
the train. Anything you learn in college teach it online. Okay? You're already
learning. Why not just reteach it and be a bit more entertaining, be a bit more
engaging. Make it a bit more simpler for people to understand. And you will do
very well. Just people more interesting than your professor and that isn't hard.
If you agree with me, just type in "That ain't hard." Because most professors are so
boring. they've tenure. They don't care about their job. They've never made any
money doing what they teach. Frankly, it's sickening.
So, just type in it a you know, it ain't hard. And if you're interested in
teaching online. Now, the next method make money online is or just make money in
college is affiliate marketing. If you are interested in learning more about
doing affiliate marketing, make sure you check
out my free traffic methods playlist. I also going to be showing up a playlist next
of like how to get started in affiliate marketing.
I've got a couple playlists about affiliate marketing. I've been doing affiliate
marketing for almost 10 years now. So, I started early on. But in college, I
actually didn't make any money doing affiliate marketing. I tried. And what's
funny is I was doing all the right things.
I joined CPA networks which at the time were the most profitable ways to make
money. I started doing Facebook ads 10 years ago. But I just never got it
working because I forgot that I needed to use pre-cell pages on ads to make
them competitive. At least for CPA products, right? Everything's kind of
specific. But I was right there. I could have been a millionaire before I was
even 20. But I just you know, I messed up on one little thing. Affiliate
marketing is competitive. But it's also a very unsaturated area. So, you can learn a
lot from subscribe to my channel. If you want to learn more about how to do
affiliate marketing, you can start for nothing, I teach a lot about that. So

what did I do to earn 5 to 10 thousand dollars a semester? What did I
do? And was probably more than that, actually. Now, what I did was I did
bare-bones marketing. No internet. Nothing to do with the internet. I simply took
good notes really is what I did. I took great notes in college. And I sold them
to the next year's class. I sold my class notes because they were
the best. I typed him up and I'll give people a PDF. But how did I get people
interested in buying my class notes you might ask. Now, what I did was I put up
flyers. I would write a headline, I'd write a sub headline, I had a email
address. And then what I did was I had tear tabs. And these were tabs where
people could actually contact me. And this is how I first started marketing.
This sort of flyer. And this was my first foray into marketing. And what I did was
I put up flyers around campus saying that, I had the class notes to their
particular class. At first I just put them all around campus because I didn't
know how to target. But once I started getting
smart to how to market, I started targeting specific classes.
They were business classes like accounting or finance or management. I
would actually put up these flyers around the business school. And I would
say, "I have all the class notes and all the sample answers to this sort of class."
And I got very specific. I tried out a lot of different headlines. At first, I
said I have all the answers. I have most of the answers to a lot of classes.
That's kind of... That was what the marketing said. And he said, "Contact me if
you want to see if I have class notes for your class." And that didn't work at
all. It was way too nonspecific. But as I moved along and got smart, I started to
realize that I had to name out a specific class. I would say, "FIM-303. I
have all the class notes in sample quizzes for." And I'd put up a flier that
said that. But even that didn't work. No,w college students are picky and they
don't have a lot of money. And they're very skeptical. What I had to do was I
put up a flier that said "B-plus or better guaranteed in FIN-303 or your
money back." That got their attention. And what I started doing was I started
realizing that the these fliers were a little bit too plain Jane. And that
nobody wanted to be the first person to tear a tap. What I would do is I'd fluff
the tabs a little bit. And I tear off the first 2 tabs myself. I'd throw them
around and that way, it seemed like other people had taken a tab. So, once I take in
the first tab or 2, people would take the rest of the tabs. Because college
students are very you know emotionally-based thinkers. And I'd put these fliers
up around the classroom. When I got really smart, I would put up... I would say
I have all the class notes to management 101. And I put it up outside of the
management classes. That worked very well. So, I had a lot of students contacting me
to purchase my class notes. I would put an email address just kind of an
anonymous email address on these tabs. Students would contact me. Mainly
international students that were not from America. White people don't like
buying class notes. Because they have this guilt it goes back to kind of like
this Western idea of authorship. You know, individualism. So,
not going to go too into that. But Eastern thought is more kind of communal. And
it's not it's more about the result not about the process. But basically, my
clientele was Middle Eastern and Asian students. Non-white students for whatever
reason. Over the years, I had hundreds of students only 1 white person. And I
sold the class notes. And I sold a lot of them I would sell them for 4$00
a pop. I'd sell tutoring services. That's how I made 5 to 10 thousand
dollars a semester. Pure profit because it cost me nothing to give somebody
class notes that were on a USB Drive. Just cost me to cost the USB Drive which
was $5. That is my story of how I was able to make a lot of money during
college and you can too. So, there's a lot of ways to do this. Check it out and let
