Ladies and gentlemen, absolutely everyone wants to know how to make $10,000 a month as a student. The only issue is there's a lot of BS out there. There's a lot of misinformation, and there's a lot of people making it seem a lot easier than it actually is. In today's video, I'm going to break down the three main components you need to focus on in order to make $10,000 a month as a student. Now, in this video, I'm going to give you the three main components.


 But after you finish watching this video, I'm going to leave a link in the description, and that link will take to my most popular video so far this year on YouTube. That video breaks down the seven to eight most popular online business models and will help you break down and figure out what will work the best for you this year. Now, the first thing you need in order to hit $10,000 a month as a student is the right vehicle. Now, let me tell you what I mean. You see, the thing is you need a means. 


You need an opportunity that is big enough but not too risky. You can actually achieve $10,000 a month as a student. Now, I will say that $10,000 a month, and I'm I'm really not trying to be insensitive here. I understand that I was a fringe case. I hit $10,000 a month when I was 17 years old, but I'm going to talk about that a little later on in this video and how I actually got to that place. I hit $10,000 a month when I was 17 years old, and by the end of that year, before I turned 18, I was hitting $30,000 to $40,000 a month.


 I'm speaking here from experience. You need a vehicle, a way that you can make that money, but a way in which you're not going to risk losing all of the money that you do have. The first thing that I will tell you is trading is out the window. I'm going to be very honest with you, there's a lot of traders out there that are trying to sell you BS because when you sign up with their little affiliate link and you get your $10 free, blah, blah, blah, when you lose money, that's actually where they make money. 


They don't make money on the little $10 or $20 sign up that they get when you join. They make money when you lose. They're really incentivized for you to lose. Listen, that's just the honest truth of it. Even if you have $1,000, for you to take $1,000 and turn that into $10,000 or $20,000 in a single year is actually very difficult. The amount of successful trades, the average of all those successful trades is very, very difficult. Whereas for you to take $1,000 and invest that into starting a very lean online business, I mean, by the end of the year, you're talking tens of thousands of dollars. I don't think, realistically, you're going to hit hundreds of thousands of dollars in your first year.


 It happens sometimes, but it's very unrealistic. But definitely by the end of the year, you should be making more than your average salary if you were just working a traditional 9:00 to 5:00. The best part is you should be able to do it remotely. In order to make money, you need something that spits out free cash flow. What I mean by that is profit that you can actually use.


Because here's the other thing I'm going to tell you. People always look at networth. They go, Oh, he has $100 million networth, but his entire networth is in his company, and he can't take out money out of his company because he may have investors or this or that. Or you have certain people, for example, a lot of people in the property game where they have a lot of money, their portfolio is worth a lot, but they're not very cash-rich. They don't actually have a lot of cash laying around. 


They're wealthy, but their money is tied up in places, and that's not the place that you want to be at when you're first starting a business. A lot of businesses, for example, building a proper e-commerce brand. By the way, when I say proper e-commerce brand, once again, I'm speaking from experience. I've had an eyewear company for a few years. The thing is, the packaging, everything is beautiful. We've got this beautiful black velvet finish on the inside. This business is okay. It's my smallest business.


 It makes around $1.2 to $1.5 million a year. That sounds great until you realize that we have 50% margins. I'm only keeping 50% of that money. It's even worse when you realize that any of my profit that I make, I can't keep. I have to roll that into new stock because especially a product like this is actually very difficult to make. For me to put in an order now of another 5,000 to 10,000 units, I may only get that in three, four, five months, depending on the time of the year. Even though someone would look at him and go, That's a $1.5 million a year business at 50% margins. You never actually get to keep that profit because you always have to reinvest into the business.


 That is very different to, for example, a service-based business. If you're offering a service to clients, whether that be building their marketing funnels, whether that be doing their short form content, little short form TikToks and reels and doing lots of those and creating many accounts for them and distributing it all over the internet, all the way to doing, for example, their Google Ads and focusing specifically on Google Ads for e-commerce brands as an example. Listen, whatever the service is, it needs to have one of two things, high perceived value to the client.
