when you think of facebook the only
person that comes into mind is this guy
however if you give it a closer look
he's just the face of the company
because the company was built by
multiple talented people with different
backgrounds and sets of skills and as
facebook grew bigger and bigger and made
it to the top and was worth billions of
dollars all those people who were
involved in facebook at its early stage
instantly became super rich
eduardo sovereign was one of those
people when facebook was still an idea
mark zuckerberg offered him to become
its first investor and the first cfo by
investing 15 billion dollars into the
company it wasn't clear how this
business could grow but he clearly saw
the potential and jumped on the board
despite the fact that zach diluted his
shares and kicked him out of the company
his tiny ownership in facebook turned
him into one of the richest people on
the planet when the company went public
his fifteen thousand dollar investment
in facebook compounded to eighteen
billion dollars that's why never
underestimate the power of small
investments you don't need to have
millions of dollars to make a good
investment of course it's better if you
can but even a small investment can lead
to huge gains if you invested properly
but most people don't even have fifteen
thousand dollars in their savings
account because most people live
paycheck to paycheck but a hundred
dollars not a big deal everyone can find
an extra hundred dollars of course it's
not enough to build passive income for
example but there's still multiple great
ways how you can invest that hundred
dollars and potentially turn it into a
much larger amount so if you have an
extra hundred bucks here is what you can
do
but before we do that let's thank
today's video sponsor artis did you know
that according to a 2020 survey ultra
high net worth individuals allocate
about 5 of their net worth to
collectibles if you look at the data
that is not surprising some collectibles
have shown historically strong returns
take for example sports cards where the
pwcc 100 an index for top sports cards
has outperformed the s p 500 since 2008
but the problem is that collectibles are
simply too expensive and out of reach
for the average investor
that's where the sponsor of today's
video otis comes in
artist is a stock market for cultural
assets where almost anyone can buy and
sell shares of rare collectibles
sneakers and art they have over a
hundred rare items to choose from and
add new assets every week such as this
first edition charizard pokemon card or
jordan 1 metallic red or lionel messi's
green prism if you're a soccer fan like
myself

and now let's get back to the video
number one get into crypto this might
seem like a weird advice from me because
i often talk about how careful you have
to be when it comes to crypto it's
dangerous risky and unstable however
that's what makes it unique in the first
place if you have been paying attention
you probably realize that crypto is
where the internet was 20 years ago
right after the dot-com crash it's at
that stage where it's forming its future
and only time will tell what the future
of crypto will look like there are some
big players but that doesn't mean they
are going to dominate the market the
same was with the internet we had huge
internet companies in the 1990s but you
barely know them today because other
companies have overtaken the market
20 years ago google and amazon were
little companies that you couldn't
distinguish from other internet
companies but they are the ones that
succeeded so even a hundred dollar
investment in such a company will turn
into an unbelievable fortune
we have already seen a few examples such
as dodge coin but there are going to be
more some of the internet giants of
today like facebook or snapchat emerged
much much later so we're still at the
beginning of this progress but before
you throw your money make sure to study
it understand how it works but even if
you do all of that you still can get it
wrong because it's still it's early
stage but if you get it right you can
grow your money by a thousand times
number two flip flipping is probably one
of the best sign hassles anyone can
start it's easy you don't need a lot of
capital and it teaches you a lot about
business of course it depends on what
you want to flip if it's real estate
then it's much more difficult and you
probably need a big capital to start but
you could flip pretty much anything
that's less than a hundred dollars
especially today with the rise of the
internet that has become much easier and
faster you have ebay amazon and a
million other website that makes the hr
process easy you can even use facebook
groups or instagram pages to do that
of course you aren't going to make a lot
of money but it's a long game your job
is to first turn that hundred dollars
into 150 then to 200 and so on and so
forth make sure to flip what you
understand just because you bought
something for a hundred dollars doesn't
mean it sells for 200 it all comes down
to your understanding of the market try
first things you're interested and have
tried personally
number three invest in books with the
rise of the internet people started
appreciating books less and less and it
makes sense to a certain extent why read
the book when you can watch a youtube
video that can tell you what that book
is all about or watch a documentary
that's filled with valuable information
or get a quick summary from an article
however nothing can replace books here's
why when a book is written or let me be
a bit more precise when a good book is
written it is deeply researched and the
author probably spent years formulating
his ideas in such a way that to explain
to you his points
however when you watch a documentary
it's often done with the purpose of
making it as entertaining as possible
because if it's not going to generate
enough views it is not going to pay back
so a lot of important details are not
included because they could make the
documentary a little less interesting or
a youtube video a little boring although
there are plenty of youtubers who put
their soul into the videos you have to
understand that we have limited
resources we can't afford to invest that
much into videos because it is not going
to pay back financially you can do that
once or twice but not all the time
because at the end of the day resources
are limited that's why great books still
remain the main source of valuable
information with a hundred bucks you can
get yourself four or five books that
will change your life such as the laws
of human nature by robert greene rich
dad poor dad by robert kiyosaki that
will teach you the fundamentals of
financial literacy or men's search for
meaning that will help you to find your
why you're not going to see an immediate
benefit but they will positively shape
your mindset and will greatly pay back
in the long run
number four learn a valuable skill all
it takes is one valuable skill to change
your life you can meet people who are
rude or terrible but because they have a
set of skills that are on demand they
still do well financially unlike
knowledge skills are far more valuable
because you can use them over and over
they instantly make your life better and
not just stay with you in case you need
them the internet has made learning any
skill easy and simple literally there
are courses that will teach you how to
become a real estate agent for less than
a hundred dollars i have seen really
great courses that will turn you from
someone who knows nothing about coding
into a professional coder that can build
his own app in the past you had to go to
college to learn that but now all you
need is a course for a hundred bucks to
do that
number five trade some stocks a lot of
people keep watching videos or read
about the stock market hoping to start
investing one day if you haven't bought
a single stock the world of the stock
market is probably quite ambiguous to
you when you actually get in and start a
lot of things start getting clear
reading and watching videos about the
stock market is one thing and investing
or trading is something else what seems
so obvious in theory isn't really that
easy in practice when you buy a stock
and it goes down right in front of your
eyes you get emotional your brain stops
working and your emotions get in charge
all that will be in your mind is to
minimize losses that's when you really
learn the point isn't to turn that
hundred bucks into a thousand dollars
but to experience the market because
when you're trading with real money you
will be much more careful and cautious
since your money is at stake it's
actually fun to look for the right
company to throw your money in you will
read about many different companies
analyze their financial statements
figure out if their price is undervalued
or overvalued and then make up your mind
if this company is worth your money or
not
this experience worth it even if you
lose a hundred bucks in fact if you
decide to invest a larger amount you
will at least know how the market works
at the end of the day what separates
rich people from the poor is financial
literacy and capital that's why if you
come from a rich family you're more
likely to be rich and vice versa of
course a hundred dollars is not the kind
of capital that can make a difference in
your life but we all have to start
somewhere if you have 10 grand go ahead
and start with that if you have saved a
hundred thousand dollars congrats you've
crossed a huge milestone if you could
save a million dollars then you're most
likely safe for the rest of your life if
you manage that money properly but while
you are on the way to build your capital
these are the five ways you can use to
move one step closer
