WEBVTT

00:00:17.132 --> 00:00:18.632
hi guys, we're back.

00:00:18.632 --> 00:00:21.414
Welcome to real love, real life podcast.

00:00:21.414 --> 00:00:25.417
A lot of you guys have been asking me all about my social media growth.

00:00:25.417 --> 00:00:27.603
How does TikTok shop work?

00:00:27.603 --> 00:00:29.307
I'm spilling the tea today.

00:00:29.307 --> 00:00:34.045
I hope that you can take all of this information and really use it to yourself, you guys.

00:00:34.045 --> 00:00:37.393
There is money out there for everyone, okay.

00:00:37.979 --> 00:00:38.801
Yeah, it's crazy.

00:00:38.801 --> 00:00:40.024
I've seen it firsthand.

00:00:40.024 --> 00:00:42.049
Didn't really believe it at first.

00:00:42.049 --> 00:00:48.612
I mean I know you like started recording yourself and all that, but after years of hard work and then you see it pay off.

00:00:48.872 --> 00:01:07.861
It's truly life-changing and it's crazy, we're here what do you think like be on completely honest with me in the beginning, when I was like cooking and I knew nothing about social media and I was like trying to record, did you really think that we would be where we are today?

00:01:08.743 --> 00:01:11.790
Not really, because I mean, I was just working.

00:01:11.790 --> 00:01:19.131
Obviously, you know how to start the detail business to, you know, not only attribute from my trade job.

00:01:19.131 --> 00:01:23.725
So I was just so focusing on taking care of bills and providing for you guys.

00:01:23.725 --> 00:01:31.250
That it's not that I didn't pay attention to it, it was just like I know you like to do it, to express yourself and stuff like that.

00:01:31.250 --> 00:01:38.421
So I was just like holding it down, grinding while you're, you know, being yourself, and that's crazy.

00:01:38.421 --> 00:01:43.010
How being yourself has, you know, brought you to this big community.

00:01:43.010 --> 00:02:09.673
You know people supporting you being by your side through the ups and downs, even in times like this, where a lot of people are, you know, politically divided and from our culture standpoint, it's like, you know, we have ties over there, we have ties here, but you know we love, you know what this place has blessed us with and the hard work you put in for it to finally pay off and literally change our lives in real time.

00:02:09.673 --> 00:02:11.627
Yeah, it's unbelievable, huh.

00:02:11.759 --> 00:02:20.354
Yeah, and I think when you say, like you know, just watching me, like be myself, I think that's like the first thing I actually had in mind to bring up.

00:02:20.354 --> 00:02:33.111
Anytime somebody asked me like what do I do first, or what, what do I record, I always say I'm like be yourself be yourself like there is somebody that's going to watch anything.

00:02:33.573 --> 00:02:37.568
Right, there's like people scroll all day for hours and hours and hours.

00:02:37.568 --> 00:02:42.686
People will stay for a cooking video, an asmr video, a otg video, like anything.

00:02:42.686 --> 00:02:44.931
There is something out there for everybody.

00:02:44.931 --> 00:02:50.728
If you just be yourself, you're going to find your community.

00:02:50.728 --> 00:02:56.006
People are going to, some people are going to love it, some people are going to hate it yeah but that that's like.

00:02:56.848 --> 00:02:59.941
I think that's the beauty of it all, honestly.

00:02:59.941 --> 00:03:07.674
Um, and some people also ask me, what about the hate or the negative things that?

00:03:07.674 --> 00:03:12.971
People have to say about you when you are being yourself and I'm like, well, that kind of comes with it.

00:03:12.971 --> 00:03:22.625
You know, I feel like if you're not willing to take some heat yeah it's, it's definitely not for you, because you have to.

00:03:22.765 --> 00:03:26.400
You have to take that like it's it comes comes with social media.

00:03:26.400 --> 00:03:48.162
There's a lot of mean people hiding behind a screen, um, but the people that are there for you and literally look for you every day, like those people, make up for all of the bad comments and all of the negativity in social media yeah so I know that you have some questions for me, so I'll let you get started.

00:03:48.805 --> 00:03:54.302
So I'm pretty sure the majority of the people are asking hey Jasmine, what were you doing before TikTok?

00:03:54.562 --> 00:03:55.645
Oh yeah, I get that a lot.

00:03:55.645 --> 00:03:56.647
Um.

00:03:56.647 --> 00:04:02.346
So obviously, right before TikTok I was a stay at home mom, but there's like more to that.

00:04:02.346 --> 00:04:06.713
So six years ago I came to arizona from mexico.

00:04:06.713 --> 00:04:15.639
I lived in mexico and as soon as I got here I started working at goodwill but the thrift store, but that was not.

00:04:15.639 --> 00:04:16.701
Obviously, that was not enough.

00:04:16.701 --> 00:04:18.966
I was making like 10, 11 an hour.

00:04:18.966 --> 00:04:22.341
Um, so I was like I have to, I need something else.

00:04:22.341 --> 00:04:26.831
Again, like we said in the last episode, my sister gave me a year to move out of her house.

00:04:27.341 --> 00:04:29.228
I needed to get the show on the road.

00:04:29.228 --> 00:04:30.906
So, I applied to Amazon.

00:04:30.906 --> 00:04:37.346
I was working at Goodwill during the day, Amazon at night Literally was a zombie.

00:04:37.346 --> 00:04:46.216
And finally, when I moved out, I got a job at this call center with like mortgage assisting.

00:04:46.216 --> 00:05:10.420
It was literal hell like obviously I was there because of the pay like a call center pays decent so it made up for, like my amazon job and goodwill yeah but it was a nightmare, like people are so mean yeah, there's some vicious people and and then you're dealing with the most important thing that like somebody has like other than like your kids and stuff, like your home, your mortgage.

00:05:11.023 --> 00:05:16.446
So when and they're not somebody's not calling a call center because they're happy if somebody's calling a call center.

00:05:16.446 --> 00:05:20.543
It's because there's a problem right, there's an escalation and so that was bad.

00:05:20.543 --> 00:05:21.824
Anyways, I got through that.

00:05:21.824 --> 00:05:24.610
I was there for three years maybe.

00:05:24.610 --> 00:05:38.329
Uh, I became a stay-at-home mom, but things got really tight and then I went back to Amazon for like two weeks and they only had night shift and it was.

00:05:38.329 --> 00:05:39.151
It was terrible.

00:05:39.192 --> 00:05:40.314
I couldn't do night shift again.

00:05:40.394 --> 00:05:41.483
I just, I just couldn't do it.

00:05:41.483 --> 00:05:45.680
So, um, then I was a stay-at-home mom again, but I was looking for jobs.

00:05:45.982 --> 00:05:53.687
Remember I applied over, like to over like a hundred jobs literally all day long home depot like I was like a work shift applying.

00:05:53.687 --> 00:05:59.244
They're like hey, I'm gonna pay you to apply for eight hours to ten hours a day I was.

00:05:59.504 --> 00:06:03.350
I was like on my laptop for hours and hours and hours a day.

00:06:03.350 --> 00:06:05.995
Nobody would call me and I didn't know why.

00:06:05.995 --> 00:06:23.702
Then now I'm like God had a plan for me the entire time Like and he probably knew like this girl is all over the place that if I give her a job she's going to stop posting or she's not going to post as consistent, and then she's not going to go viral, and then she's not going to live the life of her dreams.

00:06:23.742 --> 00:06:31.394
so he didn't let me get a job, which thank him, thank the lord um, and yeah, so that's what I was doing.

00:06:31.394 --> 00:06:39.053
I was doing a lot of warehouse and call center, all that just getting by until this hit off yeah.

00:06:40.541 --> 00:06:45.750
So would you say like basically, like the struggle helped you.

00:06:45.750 --> 00:06:51.992
You know, manifest all this Because obviously you're making, like TikToks are fun.

00:06:51.992 --> 00:06:58.072
But somewhere along the line you had to like be like OK, maybe I could try to make some money on this.

00:06:58.072 --> 00:06:59.901
Or like, how were you introduced to the TikTok?

00:06:59.901 --> 00:07:04.665
Shop like that or how to make money in general on TikTok, like how were you introduced to the TikTok shop, like that, or how to make money in general on TikTok.

00:07:05.047 --> 00:07:12.894
You know, when I was posting on TikTok, I never once You're going to think like, oh my, or people are going to think like BS.

00:07:12.894 --> 00:07:18.103
I was posting I didn't know how people like would get paid on it.

00:07:18.103 --> 00:07:27.103
I used to think that you had to be this like huge creator or, you know, like those influencers already with millions and they have like all these like sponsors and all this stuff.

00:07:27.103 --> 00:07:28.365
I thought that that was it.

00:07:28.365 --> 00:07:34.286
I didn't know that you could get like paid for views um, and I think.

00:07:34.526 --> 00:07:38.434
Well, my first, my first, like tiktok check was for views.

00:07:38.434 --> 00:07:42.386
It didn't have anything to do with shops, I don't think even.

00:07:42.526 --> 00:07:43.327
It was for views.

00:07:43.327 --> 00:07:50.839
I'm cutting up some limes I'm like making myself like a lemonade, I think and I was so emotional.

00:07:50.839 --> 00:07:53.288
I was pregnant at that time but we lost that baby.

00:07:53.288 --> 00:07:59.406
I was so emotional because my sister didn't come to my baby shower, so I had to get it out.

00:07:59.406 --> 00:08:12.846
I had to get it out and I start remember, I start ranting on the video and I'm like this is why I'm never gonna have a baby shower again.

00:08:12.867 --> 00:08:13.187
Blah, blah, blah.

00:08:13.208 --> 00:08:16.456
And I'm like just going at it and then I upload the video and I'm like whoops, like yeah, I forgot about that video, that video.

00:08:16.456 --> 00:08:22.564
I go to bed and then I I wake up, you're working out of town and the freaking video has like two million views and I'm like overnight.

00:08:22.564 --> 00:08:23.586
Well, yeah, I'm like.

00:08:23.586 --> 00:08:25.968
Well, my sister saw that already, oopsie.

00:08:26.529 --> 00:08:36.258
Um yeah so and and then followers like I was I was getting so many followers of people were like don't worry, we're, we're your internet sisters now.

00:08:36.258 --> 00:08:37.120
And this isn't that like.

00:08:37.120 --> 00:08:37.801
I was just like.

00:08:37.801 --> 00:08:40.183
I was like Whoa, like what is happening?

00:08:40.183 --> 00:08:53.669
And a month goes by and I start seeing that there's like rewards which when I had hit 10k, yes, I had joined the creator rewards program, but again, I didn't know.

00:08:53.669 --> 00:08:55.293
Nobody taught me any of this.

00:08:55.293 --> 00:09:01.580
Tiktok was still kind of new, so I didn't know anything about this, I didn't google it anything.

00:09:01.580 --> 00:09:15.605
So like a month later, when I see payout on the 15th, I think I had made like eighteen hundred dollars which that was like crazy I mean, we did, we diy'd our backyard with that money that's true like that's.

00:09:15.986 --> 00:09:16.948
That's insane.

00:09:16.948 --> 00:09:46.783
Like it wasn't enough money to pay landscapers to come and redo our backyard, but, um, we had money to go and buy all the supplies and we put in the work, and we also made a video about that, which, by the way, got a lot of hate because it wasn't perfect yeah, it wasn't perfect, but um, and then I just I kind of started noticing like hey, like I'm, I'm being myself and it's, it's working it's paying off and then every month I was just getting like a little check again.

00:09:46.842 --> 00:09:53.322
It still wasn't like anywhere near what I make now, but it was like a little bit of money and I was like okay.

00:09:53.383 --> 00:10:16.585
So then I started understanding, hey, like you're getting some heat, but but you have your little starbucks money right there and stuff so then I started posting like literally like what would come to my mind, like I'd be in my car and I would be either upset about something or really happy about something, and I talk about it yeah, I talk about it like if I was talking to one of my friends, and that's how I started making money off views.

00:10:16.585 --> 00:10:38.910
Um, I think your video has to be over a minute long, yeah, um, then you start getting paid for every thousand views yep something like that all the qualifications yeah, you have to like meet certain stuff, uh, but that's one way to to make some extra cash, like on social media, like on tiktok um for views.

00:10:39.511 --> 00:10:40.793
So who cares about the likes?

00:10:40.793 --> 00:10:44.830
That's why it doesn't matter if people are hating on your video.

00:10:44.830 --> 00:10:47.345
It doesn't matter you stayed and you viewed it.

00:10:47.725 --> 00:10:52.360
You're paying me yep, if you stood, if you stayed for five seconds.

00:10:52.640 --> 00:10:55.005
Thank you thank you, even if you didn't like it.

00:10:55.025 --> 00:10:59.447
I'm sorry you didn't like it what were, like the first struggles you had on tiktok shop?

00:10:59.447 --> 00:11:10.073
Like obviously you started to like accumulate a little money here and there, okay, but like was there a time that you're like, even though you're making a little bit of cash, you're like this is hard.

00:11:10.073 --> 00:11:12.166
Like did you hit any bumps on the road?

00:11:13.730 --> 00:11:19.816
Yes, I feel like in the beginning people didn't really trust TikTok shop.

00:11:20.037 --> 00:11:20.317
Yeah.

00:11:20.457 --> 00:11:33.101
Until this day, I still feel like I come across people that are like oh, I've never bought anything from there, like I feel like they're going to take, like my bank information and this is like they don't know that it's like it's another shop, like that's what it is.

00:11:33.101 --> 00:11:36.631
But in the beginning people didn't trust it.

00:11:37.120 --> 00:11:38.785
So I was very discouraged in the beginning.

00:11:38.785 --> 00:11:39.990
I was like what is this?

00:11:39.990 --> 00:11:50.296
Like it, I feel like it was also making like my regular videos, like my non-shoppable videos, like it was making my views kind of tank and it was stressful.

00:11:50.296 --> 00:12:00.751
Um, obviously I wanted to succeed on TikTok shop, so I started posting like a lot of TikTok shop videos and then it was like some people were like, oh, all you do now is like post TikTok shop.

00:12:00.751 --> 00:12:01.280
But it wasn't.

00:12:01.280 --> 00:12:07.280
You know, I still I still post personal videos, um, cooking videos, things like that.

00:12:07.280 --> 00:12:22.924
Um, but people, you know I I started getting like some hate and some views were going down and, um, I think I was like in the beginning kind of like losing followers and it was a little bit discouraging.

00:12:22.924 --> 00:12:31.649
I even thought of getting out of the affiliate program thing, but thank goodness that I didn't and it worked out.

00:12:33.201 --> 00:12:41.269
So for someone to start up, how, like the trials and tribulations you went through, what game could you give them on starting up?

00:12:41.269 --> 00:12:53.562
Obviously, they're going to have struggles of their own, but if you could like get their foot in the door and they can start monetizing and stuff like that, what would your like let, uh, what would you?

00:12:53.562 --> 00:12:54.783
What advice would you give them?

00:12:56.745 --> 00:12:57.725
stay consistent.

00:12:57.725 --> 00:13:05.614
Um, don't don't let like the low views or the low likes.

00:13:05.614 --> 00:13:19.508
Things like that discourage you, Because sometimes people will watch your video and you'll convince them to buy it and sometimes those people aren't going to like or comment.

00:13:19.508 --> 00:13:21.826
Yeah, they're just going to go straight to buy it, they're all action.

00:13:22.188 --> 00:13:29.548
Yeah, you know, maybe like those likes that you have are like from the people that are already following you, and but they didn't buy.

00:13:29.548 --> 00:13:31.404
So what do you want?

00:13:31.404 --> 00:13:32.821
You want people to buy Right, like.

00:13:32.821 --> 00:13:33.985
So who really cares?

00:13:33.985 --> 00:13:34.600
Like sometimes?

00:13:34.600 --> 00:13:39.773
Sometimes I post to talk shop videos and they'll have like 20 likes.

00:13:39.773 --> 00:13:45.668
And then later in the day I'll go and you know you could sell 50 of those items.

00:13:45.668 --> 00:13:54.725
So I'm like it doesn't really matter, because either way a Tik TOK shop video disqualifies your video from um like the monetization.

00:13:54.806 --> 00:13:56.312
So either way, you got to pick one.

00:13:56.634 --> 00:14:17.741
Yeah, either way, like, even if your video like was a hit and you got millions of views on it, they're still not going to pay you for it because you made it an ad.

00:14:17.741 --> 00:14:22.509
Yeah, um, so just don't like, stop focusing on the views like, or the views, or the the likes, things like that just keep posting, you're gonna find your shoppers.

00:14:22.529 --> 00:14:27.197
So what would you say, like, how did you find that first product to pop off?

00:14:27.197 --> 00:14:33.067
Because I'm pretty sure, like sometimes I be posting videos and I don't ever make a sale on it.

00:14:33.067 --> 00:14:43.404
But you know, all of a sudden I sell a pair of headphones, but I've made that video six months ago, versus the last video of, you know, the valentino.

00:14:43.404 --> 00:14:47.423
I'm like man, that was a good video, but I didn't sell nothing but these headphones that I made.

00:14:47.423 --> 00:14:50.011
One video of six months ago made a sale today.

00:14:50.011 --> 00:14:57.149
So it's like, were you just like consistently trying new things, or did you know, like, what area to focus in?

00:14:57.581 --> 00:14:58.839
Well, I was consistent.

00:14:58.839 --> 00:15:07.870
And then I my first, my first, I would say like sample, because you can get samples.

00:15:07.870 --> 00:15:10.999
Um was OQQ, yeah.

00:15:10.999 --> 00:15:11.961
So they were sending me.

00:15:11.961 --> 00:15:14.951
I always say I'm like that's the first brand, that like believed in me.

00:15:14.951 --> 00:15:18.090
They would send me things and I wouldn't make a sale.

00:15:18.129 --> 00:15:22.543
But I think they just kind of knew when you're like basically like a no name yeah.

00:15:22.644 --> 00:15:31.724
They saw something that, like they saw something in me that nobody else did, and they were sending me a couple things nothing, nothing.

00:15:31.724 --> 00:15:34.330
Um, they send me this bodysuit.

00:15:34.330 --> 00:15:44.720
I literally have it on right now what a coincidence not this one, but, like you know, this same style yeah uh, and I make a video.

00:15:44.720 --> 00:15:49.669
I made a video in january about Kind of same, like you said.

00:15:49.730 --> 00:15:50.051
Yeah.

00:15:50.311 --> 00:15:51.433
Nothing, okay.

00:15:51.433 --> 00:15:56.046
You know I was it wasn't new to me Like I would post things and it wouldn't even get likes.

00:15:56.046 --> 00:15:58.211
It wouldn't get nothing, no sales, okay.

00:15:58.211 --> 00:16:06.234
And then in May, one day my phone starts getting all of these notifications.

00:16:06.234 --> 00:16:08.225
It was like May 20th.

00:16:08.386 --> 00:16:08.648
Yeah.

00:16:08.860 --> 00:16:09.947
And my phone's getting all of these notifications.

00:16:09.947 --> 00:16:11.153
It was like May 20th, yeah, and my phone's getting all these notifications.

00:16:11.153 --> 00:16:19.317
That video that I had posted in January was getting all kinds of comments likes all of this stuff.

00:16:19.399 --> 00:16:28.734
People ask me for the size and I was like, oh my God, I need to get my butt into one of those body suits and go and do a comment reply.

00:16:28.734 --> 00:16:32.788
So I heard those do really good, the comment, the video comment replies.

00:16:32.788 --> 00:16:51.907
So I I think it was like the day after that I, I get ready, I didn't have anything to do, but like I curl my hair and I do my makeup and I record myself in the bathroom and and I'm talking about the body suit, and you know, it's this size, this this and that I post it again that day.

00:16:52.279 --> 00:16:56.150
No sales, but OK, you know, the first video from January was getting a lot of traction.

00:16:56.299 --> 00:16:57.645
I was like OK maybe we're getting somewhere.

00:16:58.660 --> 00:17:13.212
I go to bed on like May 21st or something like that, and then I wake up the next day and that video, the video, the comment reply had like two million views.

00:17:13.232 --> 00:17:14.334
Dang Overnight.

00:17:14.494 --> 00:17:14.875
Overnight.

00:17:15.236 --> 00:17:15.476
Wow.

00:17:16.520 --> 00:17:20.049
And the other one had like one million views.

00:17:20.089 --> 00:17:20.632
Wow so.

00:17:21.501 --> 00:17:25.342
So I was like OK, and that video again was it was old, it's kind of like what you're saying, like it was.

00:17:25.342 --> 00:17:26.205
It was months old.

00:17:26.205 --> 00:17:34.299
It's kind of like what you're saying, like it was, it was months old and I I didn't even know like really how to maneuver like the tiktok shop, like you know, all of your like analytics, all of that.

00:17:34.299 --> 00:17:42.078
So I I go, I find that and I have like four thousand dollars or something in there.

00:17:42.078 --> 00:17:43.461
Remember I came to the back.

00:17:43.561 --> 00:17:46.346
I thought it was running to the back and I was don't get excited.

00:17:47.087 --> 00:17:51.075
I was like, but TikTok is saying that I just made $4,000.

00:17:51.075 --> 00:17:55.570
And you looked like you didn't know what to do.

00:17:55.570 --> 00:17:58.108
You were like, is she pranking me?

00:17:58.108 --> 00:18:05.192
And I was just like refreshing it and refreshing it and like sales and sales and sales.

00:18:05.192 --> 00:18:06.625
It was crazy.

00:18:06.625 --> 00:18:08.125
Eventually the bodies had sold out.

00:18:09.182 --> 00:18:10.961
I sold it out, wiped them out clean.

00:18:10.961 --> 00:18:18.744
Yeah, every size, every color every size every color, from c to signing c sold out baby sold out.

00:18:19.405 --> 00:18:31.340
Well, um, I mean, that's when, oku, like, they flew me out to la and um with a plus one and everything, which, by the way, I didn't take you, um, but your sister gotta go.

00:18:31.340 --> 00:18:37.162

00:18:37.162 --> 00:18:40.951
Shout out to wow um, so yeah, that was wait.

00:18:40.990 --> 00:18:43.637
That was your first flight ever, or no?

00:18:43.837 --> 00:18:49.448
yeah, yeah, that was my first flight so not overnight success, but success.

00:18:49.468 --> 00:18:53.534
But like two videos hit and now you're flying to LA.

00:18:53.994 --> 00:18:54.214
Yeah.

00:18:55.259 --> 00:18:56.364
What a plus one.

00:18:57.367 --> 00:19:00.060
Yeah, they paid for everything Like they.

00:19:00.060 --> 00:19:12.539
And when we got there, princess treatment Dang, there was a rack of clothes and were like oh, both like your sister thought it was like just me, so she was just standing right there and they're like oh, like you know, get stuff.

00:19:12.619 --> 00:19:16.256
They gave her like a little luggage when you got that little orange briefcase thing.

00:19:16.256 --> 00:19:29.530
Yeah, that was awesome gave her one they definitely like, made it special for you guys because, I think that wave, that when that hit like they were going crazy oh yeah, it was.

00:19:29.851 --> 00:19:30.393
It was insane.

00:19:30.393 --> 00:19:33.145
People were commenting like please let me know when they're back in stock.

00:19:33.166 --> 00:19:35.560
This isn't that so that was for a while too.

00:19:35.560 --> 00:19:38.269
People were like are you guys back in stock?

00:19:38.348 --> 00:20:05.493
yeah, till this day, so you can go on your thing and see, like at the end of the day it'll show you everything you sold, how many pieces, um, what's your commission, what was your GMV Like the total amount of like sales, and you can see exactly what video made the sale to this day, uh, over a year later, that video still sells.

00:20:05.493 --> 00:20:23.763
It has sold every single day for over a year, that's crazy saturday and sunday, like it does not every single day it has made sales you need to go make another video yeah, that's funny okay.

00:20:23.804 --> 00:20:27.510
So obviously you're like you, your experience.

00:20:27.510 --> 00:20:29.013
You've been in the game a little bit.

00:20:29.013 --> 00:20:39.434
Now, looking back, what mistakes did you make and the lessons that you learned that you can tell people like hey, don't go this route or avoid this.

00:20:43.505 --> 00:20:49.846
I would say Stop caring what other people think.

00:20:49.846 --> 00:20:51.329
I think in in the beginning.

00:20:51.329 --> 00:20:54.824
That's what was stopping me in the beginning.

00:20:54.824 --> 00:21:06.208
I didn't want to go all out there like I had already made bodysuit videos, but I was making the video with the bodysuit already on it wasn't catchy.

00:21:06.208 --> 00:21:27.470
It wasn't like okay thanks you have a bodysuit on, like there's scroll, um, then that video, the one that till this day still gets me paid um I, I was I can never say the word vulnerable vulnerable yes, I literally like I showed um my skin.

00:21:27.851 --> 00:21:28.090
Yeah.

00:21:28.211 --> 00:21:38.509
I was changing and I have the bodysuit up here and you know, I'm showing my stomach and I'm like, hey guys, it does this.

00:21:38.509 --> 00:21:40.928
And then people are like wow.

00:21:42.183 --> 00:21:43.146
Like minions Wow.

00:21:44.039 --> 00:21:45.005
Yes, like that.

00:21:45.005 --> 00:21:54.249
But so when I looked back, I really really like to look at, like my analytics and stuff like I, I want to know exactly what I did that caught your eye.

00:21:54.249 --> 00:22:07.775
Um, I go back and watch my hooks, stuff like that, and so you'll see that I do a lot of repetitive stuff but, those are the videos that like I'll sell, like I maybe it's so annoying to some people.

00:22:07.815 --> 00:22:13.053
Or sometimes, when I like you're scrolling and I overhear like my videos, I'm like, oh, like, turn it down.

00:22:13.053 --> 00:22:21.471
I cannot like hear myself because I'm like guys or there's just no way yeah but like again it's.

00:22:22.292 --> 00:22:25.844
It's what's making the money yeah, that's what draws people in yeah, it's.

00:22:26.224 --> 00:22:28.769
It's that initial like catch or maybe.

00:22:28.769 --> 00:22:32.936
You know, the first thing you see when you're scrolling is like a big old stomach.

00:22:32.936 --> 00:22:35.296
It's like whoa, like now you have to stay.

00:22:35.316 --> 00:22:35.739
Where'd it go.

00:22:36.782 --> 00:22:39.740
Now I have to stay and figure out, like you know, what happened next.

00:22:39.740 --> 00:22:52.442
Or I mean I showed the video to my sister when it was like first going viral and she started laughing and she was like I showed it to, um, her husband.

00:22:52.442 --> 00:22:54.626
She showed it to her husband and she's like I want one.

00:22:54.626 --> 00:22:56.611
He's like you don't need one.

00:22:56.611 --> 00:23:09.290
She's like 110 pounds, she has no stomach like at all, she doesn't need anything that snatches her up, and and he started laughing and he's like yeah, jasmine is doing exactly what she's supposed to be doing.

00:23:09.290 --> 00:23:11.186
You don't need one and you want one.

00:23:11.326 --> 00:23:11.648
Yeah.

00:23:12.020 --> 00:23:15.269
So then I was like okay, like perfect, so yeah.

00:23:16.261 --> 00:23:17.398
What kept you consistent?

00:23:17.398 --> 00:23:25.313
Like obviously you've seen a little bread, but it wasn't obviously like I can take them out of work Not yet.

00:23:25.313 --> 00:23:35.126
Yeah, well, for one, I like it it yeah I really like what I do you like posting, like I love it, whatever it is, you could be cooking.

00:23:35.146 --> 00:23:53.528
Yeah, you could be in the parking lot of what is it sprouts yeah, eating the sushi like eating a sushi I'll just pop my tripod out, like anywhere I I really like at this point, like I I still get looks, or you know, dirty looks stuff like that, but at this point it doesn't matter.

00:23:53.528 --> 00:23:56.863
It doesn't matter like I'm doing what I love, I'm getting paid.

00:23:56.863 --> 00:24:03.217
You know, I, I took, we took our, my dream vacation last year.

00:24:03.217 --> 00:24:09.271
Um, you know, like I wouldn't have been able to do all that if I still kept caring what people think about me.

00:24:09.291 --> 00:24:09.633
Yeah, exactly.

00:24:09.980 --> 00:24:14.145
Like you're going to talk smack anyways, I might as well get paid for it.

00:24:14.539 --> 00:24:17.229
Yeah, not only that, like I feel like too at work.

00:24:17.229 --> 00:24:51.874
Obviously we work in the trade, so everybody's like a hard ass, so it's like I never really the only people I knew that took vacations to like Hawaii are like the foremans and they've been there almost 20 years and so like when you did make good money and you know I was going through the struggle at work when I quit and all that um like, imagine, like, because you know all of us, you know we make good money in the trade, but obviously not money to, like you know, take your other significant other out of work.

00:24:51.874 --> 00:25:02.351
Yeah, and trying to focus more on, you know, the entrepreneur side and making it happen, because I think people get offended when I tell them like it's easy showing up to work.

00:25:03.432 --> 00:25:04.094
Oh, absolutely.

00:25:04.641 --> 00:25:04.800
Versus.

00:25:04.800 --> 00:25:06.626
Let me line up the work.

00:25:06.626 --> 00:25:07.931
Make sure there is work.

00:25:07.931 --> 00:25:11.343
You know X, y, z, you just have to come and do X.

00:25:11.863 --> 00:25:22.070
Absolutely Like, let's say, when I was working at Amazon, you throw your freaking shoes on and go and yeah, you're pushing and lifting and all this, but that's easy.

00:25:22.070 --> 00:25:33.324
You're doing no offense to anybody that like works at Amazon, but you're you're doing robotic stuff to anybody that like works at amazon, but you're you're doing robotic stuff and and to do this daily.

00:25:33.324 --> 00:25:33.924
Daily I'm there.

00:25:33.924 --> 00:25:38.292
Like sometimes I'm up at night like what I have this to post tomorrow?

00:25:38.292 --> 00:25:42.263
Um, how do I want to like show it?

00:25:42.263 --> 00:25:45.167
Uh, or what am I cooking tomorrow?

00:25:45.167 --> 00:25:50.615
I already people are begging, like are asking me for new recipes.

00:25:50.615 --> 00:25:54.190
So I'm right there thinking like what?

00:25:54.230 --> 00:25:54.631
am I going to?

00:25:54.651 --> 00:25:55.092
cook tomorrow?

00:25:55.092 --> 00:25:56.445
What am I going to show them tomorrow?

00:25:56.445 --> 00:25:57.925
What am I going to talk about tomorrow?

00:25:57.925 --> 00:26:04.751
Because every day, like I kind of want, I want people to like be able to look up my page with like a purpose.

00:26:05.060 --> 00:26:07.332
You know, like oh, she's not just like.

00:26:09.539 --> 00:26:10.101
You're not just a gimmick.

00:26:10.101 --> 00:26:12.566
Yeah, like to actually, because I do like.

00:26:12.566 --> 00:26:14.609
I do get a lot of messages of you.

00:26:14.609 --> 00:26:19.230
Know, people like you're inspiring or you know how do you, how do you do it?

00:26:19.230 --> 00:26:26.847
Or I look up to you, so I mean I show you those messages all the time yeah, people are like they look up to you and it still warms my heart.

00:26:27.489 --> 00:26:31.955
Yeah, because you obviously like especially going viral.

00:26:31.955 --> 00:26:39.926
Some people go viral for, like you know, dumb things or they did something you know good, there's just you could go viral for whatever.

00:26:39.926 --> 00:26:42.749
Yeah, but, like you said, you were vulnerable.

00:26:42.749 --> 00:26:46.288
You know you got to go through the grind of no views.

00:26:46.288 --> 00:26:54.730
That's why, like you know some guy you know I follow and he's always showed love on my lives, always comments on my posts.

00:26:54.730 --> 00:26:59.567
You know he's always supporting me and one day I had seen him live.

00:26:59.567 --> 00:27:03.730
So I was like you know what he's always on my live and he gives.

00:27:03.730 --> 00:27:14.179
So I was like I jumped in his and I think he had like three people and we know the feeling everybody that goes live.

00:27:14.179 --> 00:27:17.400
Like you, you gotta be like cool, calm and collected, cause like like, we all want to be acknowledged.

00:27:17.400 --> 00:27:23.669
So it's like one person in there, then it drops to zero, then you're just like man, this, this, I'm not, I can't do this.

00:27:23.669 --> 00:27:33.324
And I told him I was like hey man, cause he was feeling like I guess, like insecure a little bit and he was like kind of wanting to like get off because you know it's not going.

00:27:33.324 --> 00:27:34.125
You know what I'm saying.

00:27:34.125 --> 00:27:42.810
And I told him I was like, if you can't, like, go through one person watching you, then my philosophy is you don't deserve 100 people watching you.

00:27:42.810 --> 00:27:46.002
And he was like you know what you're right, bro, thank you, you know like.

00:27:46.002 --> 00:27:47.224
You know what You're right, bro, thank you.

00:27:47.244 --> 00:27:52.612
Yeah, you know, and you know I gifted him back because he's always showing me love and, like now he's getting traction.

00:27:52.612 --> 00:27:54.394
His views are going up.

00:27:54.394 --> 00:28:03.652
Yeah, you know, to some people 30 cents might not be a lot, you know, but 30 cents could turn into 30,000.

00:28:03.652 --> 00:28:09.344
So it's like another guy at work, he's going live playing video war zone.

00:28:09.344 --> 00:28:13.587
He's like, hey man, that's why I said the 30 cents, because he's like.

00:28:13.587 --> 00:28:20.954
He's like I made 30 cents on live and some guy literally chuckled, like, and then I was like, hey bro, I said the same thing.

00:28:20.954 --> 00:28:24.018
I was like 30 cents could turn into 30,000.

00:28:24.018 --> 00:28:40.103
And that guy, you know he didn't say nothing after that because you know it's like, it's true, it's like, let me see you post some content, yeah, and when you get 20, uh, 20 views only, or two likes, let's see you stay consistent.

00:28:40.583 --> 00:28:49.153
So so when I was um like not viral yet, I think I had like 9 000 followers.

00:28:49.153 --> 00:29:02.788
We were having dinner one time with certain people that we don't align with anymore and, um, somebody in on the table in the table asked me uh, how many followers do you have now?

00:29:03.269 --> 00:29:16.000
because I've always like, I've always posted since like yeah well, for like two years at that time, like I hadn't been posting and you know nothing yet, um, I had got to like 9 000 followers and to me that was amazing.

00:29:16.000 --> 00:29:28.268
I mean standing in a room with 9 000 people yeah, exactly and um her mom get chuckled, like you said and said and how much does that get you paid?

00:29:28.268 --> 00:29:31.102
Yo like how much does 9 000 followers get you paid?

00:29:31.102 --> 00:29:32.124
And I said nothing.

00:29:32.124 --> 00:29:33.467
Nothing.

00:29:34.067 --> 00:29:47.468
I do it because I I really like it I really like it and, you know, she just kind of like looked at me like over her shoulder, like she didn't like that, but I almost felt like she was kind of making like fun of me.

00:29:47.468 --> 00:29:51.983
Like you're like, okay, you have 9,000 followers, so what, like, what do you have to show?

00:29:51.983 --> 00:29:57.213
For it and I was doing it because I liked it.

00:29:57.380 --> 00:29:58.842
I still do it because I like it.

00:29:58.842 --> 00:30:07.491
But now this is like what what I get for being consistent and and putting good content out there.

00:30:07.491 --> 00:30:18.628
I show good stuff, like I don't promote trash, like I promote things that I use every single day Clothes, jewelry, makeup, that I love.

00:30:18.628 --> 00:30:24.207
Household stuff because I'm still like a stay-at-home mom, things for the dogs.

00:30:24.207 --> 00:30:33.305
I show things like that and people might think how does she have 10, 20 items like to promote every day at this point?

00:30:33.305 --> 00:30:34.366
She's just promoting anything.

00:30:34.366 --> 00:30:37.744
No, you could literally I'm drinking some water right now.

00:30:37.744 --> 00:30:39.916
I can, I can promote this if I'm using this microphone.

00:30:39.936 --> 00:30:47.022
you can promote this like the clothes I'm wearing the clothes I'm wearing, me, what you oh, you, yes literally I got that outfit on the tiktok shop.

00:30:47.022 --> 00:30:48.366
I got here yesterday.

00:30:48.366 --> 00:30:50.051
Me too.

00:30:50.051 --> 00:30:53.790
All of this, except for my shoes, are from the TikTok shop.

00:30:53.790 --> 00:30:55.467
My jewelry is from the TikTok shop.

00:30:55.467 --> 00:30:59.750
Clothes, the bodysuit, that hydro jug is from the TikTok shop Everything.

00:31:00.119 --> 00:31:01.767
We're all decked out in the TikTok shop.

00:31:02.980 --> 00:31:03.501
So it's like.

00:31:03.501 --> 00:31:06.508
It's not that I'm just like promoting anything at this point.

00:31:06.508 --> 00:31:09.354
I'm promoting things that we use on a daily basis.

00:31:09.500 --> 00:31:19.339
And that's what separates a lot of people in this world is actually actually practicing what you preach, not just trying to be a snake oil salesman and just be like you know what I mean.

00:31:19.339 --> 00:31:23.167
Just selling whatever, because people are not dumb Like.

00:31:23.167 --> 00:31:25.846
Oh yeah, they can sniff you off from a mile away.

00:31:26.402 --> 00:31:28.365
I was going to say too that they can sniff you out from a mile away.

00:31:28.365 --> 00:32:04.412
Like I was gonna say too that, um, sometimes people ask me like for advice, and you know I'll see their message, and I'm like, okay, you know I have some time, so I'll go on their profile and I see like a shop video and I'm just like walking backwards and I'm like you sound like you're trying to shove that down their throat like yeah like you need to take it down a notch, like it not too salesy, but like also not so casual to like where you know you don't seem like you're selling it, so like be confident in what you're promoting be confident.

00:32:04.632 --> 00:32:07.746
Learn the product first of all me.

00:32:07.746 --> 00:32:14.489
So when you get something from not everything that I promote from the tiktok shop is a sample or like is a pr.

00:32:14.489 --> 00:32:15.230
You know I do.

00:32:15.290 --> 00:32:41.103
There's stuff that you have to buy I buy and there's also refundable samples, not just yeah, so it's like hey, like um buy it, but if you sell two, you'll get your money back you'll get reimbursed yeah, so you there's like all that sorts of stuff, um, but I think that some people are just like way too salesy, just too robotic sounds like a script.

00:32:41.103 --> 00:32:47.209
Be yourself learn the product and hey, if you don't like it, you can tell tiktok that you didn't like it yeah, yeah.

00:32:47.209 --> 00:32:48.453
I've done it a few times.

00:32:48.453 --> 00:32:49.839
I get some trash products.

00:32:49.880 --> 00:32:56.713
You got to give them the truth, because how are you going to get good reviews if it's not a good product?

00:32:56.819 --> 00:33:02.286
Yeah, or I have things that don't fit me, like it'll get here and it doesn't stretch, and I'm like, well, what do I do now?

00:33:02.286 --> 00:33:11.146
So you know, you can go on there and it says like report a problem.

00:33:11.146 --> 00:33:13.518
And then it has all these buttons and I'm like it didn't fit me and they're like okay, thank you, move on.

00:33:13.518 --> 00:33:15.904
But some people it's just like maybe I can make a sale out of that.

00:33:16.246 --> 00:33:18.290
It's like no, you don't have to like relax.

00:33:18.290 --> 00:33:21.144
So that's where I feel like some people are way too pushy.

00:33:21.144 --> 00:33:23.287
It's like it's not organic anymore.

00:33:23.287 --> 00:33:29.035
Um yeah, I, I always tell people, be yourself and learn the product.

00:33:31.920 --> 00:33:32.359
What are your tips?

00:33:32.380 --> 00:33:35.021
for going viral On a shop video or on a regular video, or both.

00:33:35.221 --> 00:33:38.143
Um, I'm pretty sure they want to know it all.

00:33:38.143 --> 00:33:41.204
Okay, so for they're getting free game right now.

00:33:41.204 --> 00:33:43.546
So you guys soak it up like a sponge.

00:33:43.546 --> 00:33:51.009
Because that's the difference too in this world, guys, there's trailblazers and there's gatekeepers.

00:33:51.009 --> 00:33:57.972
Oh yeah, we've struggled a lot in our life because there's a lot of vicious people in this world.

00:33:57.972 --> 00:34:00.513
Yeah, there's not too many people that are going to.

00:34:00.513 --> 00:34:08.038
And just like the good book says, it's like you're going to be judged on how you treat people that are not convenient to you.

00:34:08.418 --> 00:34:08.559
Yeah.

00:34:08.559 --> 00:34:19.800
So speaking of vicious people, we'll get to like how to go viral in a moment, but speaking of like vicious people, I actually got a comment today on my second account, because I do have a second account.

00:34:19.800 --> 00:34:22.907
Again, you guys like you can have unlimited accounts.

00:34:22.927 --> 00:34:26.942
Yeah, go and get it Go and get it Like I'm thinking of opening up my third one.

00:34:26.942 --> 00:34:31.346
So I got a comment on my second account.

00:34:31.346 --> 00:34:41.574
I opened up a package in my car yesterday and since I already had this product before, this was my second time buying it, you know I showed it.

00:34:41.574 --> 00:34:42.396
I didn't have to learn the product.

00:34:42.396 --> 00:34:44.157
I opened the package and I knew everything about it.

00:34:44.157 --> 00:34:50.208
So I open it and it's these sandals and I'm raving about them because I love them.

00:34:50.208 --> 00:34:53.501
Um, it's my second pair and I'm so excited about them and that video is actually doing really good right now.

00:34:53.501 --> 00:34:57.668
It's it's actually been making some good sales on my small account.

00:34:57.668 --> 00:35:01.844
So everyone's asking the size and, oh, what color is that?

00:35:01.844 --> 00:35:05.121
Oh, like, people are asking questions like about the product and the product is selling.

00:35:05.121 --> 00:35:11.233
Well, here comes a negative nancy to drop her two cents.

00:35:11.233 --> 00:35:13.726
She was like these are actually.

00:35:13.826 --> 00:35:24.538
She was like replying to people's comments saying these are actually 29.99 on amazon and it was showing that the sandals that I was showing were 31 dollars.

00:35:24.538 --> 00:35:28.264
But there's actually two types of sandals they're the regular and they're the wide.

00:35:28.264 --> 00:35:32.311
So the regular obviously cheaper, probably less material.

00:35:32.311 --> 00:35:38.083
So the regular are on TikTok shop 2699, amazon 2999.

00:35:38.083 --> 00:35:43.630
Wide, $31 on TikTok, $35 on Amazon.

00:35:43.630 --> 00:35:45.072
Now I had time today.

00:35:45.072 --> 00:35:47.315
I go into both.

00:35:47.315 --> 00:35:57.242
I have two phones and I'm like comparing prices and I'm like there's just no way, like she's over here trying to get people to not buy from me.

00:35:57.543 --> 00:35:57.862
Yeah.

00:35:58.443 --> 00:35:59.702
Um, when I?

00:36:00.865 --> 00:36:08.913
it's clearly cheap cheaper on the tiktok shop and I'm getting commission and you could get coupons on there you're trying to stop my bag, lady like at this point.

00:36:09.052 --> 00:36:12.706
So I I try not to respond to the bad comments.

00:36:12.706 --> 00:36:14.490
I try to focus on the good.

00:36:14.610 --> 00:36:22.050
You gotta have control, because you know me once you better not let me hop on your life, because I'll be, I'll go to bad.

00:36:22.050 --> 00:36:22.891
I I'm debating.

00:36:23.371 --> 00:36:35.918
Yes, so I respond with a comment reply and I'm holding my phone and I'm comparing prices and I'm just like I was just going to keep it like with facts, with the prices and stuff.

00:36:35.918 --> 00:36:39.634
But then I'm like you know what, what you put into this world, you get out.

00:36:39.634 --> 00:36:45.574
You're being so mean right now, like trying to take money, like from me.

00:36:45.574 --> 00:36:55.768
You know like I make commission and you're taking the time to respond to people to tell them that it's cheaper on another site, like why, why would you do that?

00:36:55.889 --> 00:37:02.132
it's like going to a dealership and be like just go buy a used car or something like like first of all, you need to mind your business.

00:37:02.132 --> 00:37:13.891
You're not even shopping, like okay, if you want to go shop it on another site, you can go shop at another site or they have their choice to go buy it, spend where money wherever they want at least if it was cheaper.

00:37:14.432 --> 00:37:21.478
Okay, I get it yeah, she's trying to be a hero over here, trying to save everybody a buck, but it wasn't.

00:37:21.478 --> 00:37:32.365
It was actually cheaper on the other one, but she wants to take people somewhere else because she probably can't stand the fact that I'm gonna make commission on it like no, instead of being if.

00:37:32.365 --> 00:37:45.175
If you used all that energy you're using in my comment section and put it to use for yourself on something you think is better or something you could literally be on tiktok shop right now making money, but you're wasting time being a hater.

00:37:45.295 --> 00:37:45.938
Yeah, you just.

00:37:46.304 --> 00:37:48.713
But that was my little rant about like vicious people.

00:37:48.713 --> 00:37:51.693
Now we can get into how to get viral.

00:37:51.693 --> 00:37:56.153
So I feel like I posted for like a good two years.

00:37:56.153 --> 00:38:02.041
Nothing happened, never went viral, and then once my first video went viral, it was almost like it's calming.

00:38:02.061 --> 00:38:02.844
It's a snowball effect.

00:38:02.985 --> 00:38:05.789
I wouldn't say like you know, know, all my videos go viral.

00:38:05.789 --> 00:38:16.532
But it's more likely for something to pop off I probably have like a video a week or every two weeks that go viral, and by viral I mean millions of views.

00:38:17.175 --> 00:38:23.039
So that's a technical term of viral right it has to be over a million views, so at least two, three times a month.

00:38:23.340 --> 00:38:25.306
I have a viral video like.

00:38:25.306 --> 00:38:30.956
We're talking like millions of views, so my most viral video has almost 30 million views, which is this body suit.

00:38:30.956 --> 00:38:40.175
I didn't make money off the views, but I would say that I made close to a hundred grand off these body suits.

00:38:40.817 --> 00:38:44.141
Wow yeah, mic drop.

00:38:45.146 --> 00:38:47.411
Mic drop, yeah, mic drop, mic drop, okay.

00:38:47.411 --> 00:39:00.226
So I would say again the video, that shoppable video that has the 30 million views, I say girl, and I back up and I show my stomach, not encouraging everybody.

00:39:00.226 --> 00:39:02.594
If you're not comfortable showing your stomach, you don't have to, okay.

00:39:02.614 --> 00:39:12.289
You can show something else, um, but I'm like girl and I step back and I show my stomach and then I go into the next clip and I'm clipping it down and then I'm like where did it go?

00:39:12.289 --> 00:39:24.851
And I do that every so often when I feel it myself dang houdini's back nothing yes and um that it catches a lot of attention.

00:39:24.851 --> 00:39:36.661
So I do that a lot with body suits or shape wears, because I do have quite some videos with like viral that have gone viral with also shape legs, which is shape wear.

00:39:36.902 --> 00:39:37.141
Yeah.

00:39:38.067 --> 00:39:46.867
And I do a lot of that, and sometimes when I post a video that's not like that, they're like um, like I don't want to be rude.

00:39:46.867 --> 00:39:52.610
If you're not comfortable, it's okay, but on the next video, can you do and they'll send me like a little clip of like what I usually do?

00:39:52.610 --> 00:39:55.556
Because that's the best seller, Like they know.

00:39:55.556 --> 00:39:59.530
Like if Jasmine pops that stomach out, we're making sales.

00:40:00.112 --> 00:40:01.914
So it's always moneymaker, it's the.

00:40:02.215 --> 00:40:03.016
It's the moneymaker.

00:40:03.016 --> 00:40:06.300
Yeah, people, I had somebody ask me are you going to get surgery?

00:40:06.300 --> 00:40:09.034
I think they were thinking like this girl's making all this money, she's not getting surgery.

00:40:09.034 --> 00:40:09.635
What's happening?

00:40:09.635 --> 00:40:15.311
Remember we met that lady at the TikTok event and she's like that's the worst thing you can do right now.

00:40:15.311 --> 00:40:16.871
Do not get rid of your fupa.

00:40:16.871 --> 00:40:20.311
She's like not anytime soon.

00:40:20.311 --> 00:40:29.630
So yeah, like not getting rid of my foops anytime soon.

00:40:29.630 --> 00:40:31.195
Um, but I I do want to get healthier, but I don't want to lose the fupa.

00:40:31.215 --> 00:40:39.724
Okay, I want to be able to keep making like, um, you know, the body suits there's a lot of women that can relate and you know they don't have a friend to be like.

00:40:39.844 --> 00:40:44.130
Hey, try this whole qq or thousands of dollars to get surgery.

00:40:44.130 --> 00:40:47.036
But if you want to go out and you want to feel good for a little while.

00:40:47.036 --> 00:40:49.699
Throw on the dang bodysuit.

00:40:49.699 --> 00:40:53.534
Exactly, that's $30 instead of 30 grand.

00:40:53.534 --> 00:40:56.329
And you're going to feel good and then you can go home and take it off.

00:40:56.686 --> 00:40:57.351
They're $30,.

00:40:57.391 --> 00:40:58.925
You said they're three for $30.

00:40:59.306 --> 00:41:02.594
So basically, you're going to save a thousand percent.

00:41:03.315 --> 00:41:03.577
Yes.

00:41:03.577 --> 00:41:12.929
So I would would say first of all, you need to focus on your hook, yeah, um, you need to have a good hook to go viral.

00:41:12.929 --> 00:41:22.190
Do not start your videos with good morning or sorry.

00:41:22.190 --> 00:41:24.213
Do not like.

00:41:24.213 --> 00:41:26.556
Start your video calm and collected.

00:41:26.556 --> 00:41:37.179
You need to go like full force, like run into your camera or something good morning vietnam you need to start full force.

00:41:37.239 --> 00:41:46.686
Like the first three seconds are the is the only chance you get if you do not make someone stay for the first three seconds, you lost them already you lost them.

00:41:46.865 --> 00:41:47.769
You didn't set the hook.

00:41:47.789 --> 00:41:51.201
The fish got away yep, so that's literally so.

00:41:51.201 --> 00:42:01.807
First three seconds is crucial yep and then I also notice that my videos that are about 30 seconds long yeah are the good ones.

00:42:01.807 --> 00:42:06.516
You want to keep it like short enough to like you sell them quick.

00:42:06.896 --> 00:42:07.577
Short and sweet.

00:42:07.679 --> 00:42:10.168
Short and sweet, but also not like.

00:42:10.168 --> 00:42:11.932
You don't have to.

00:42:11.932 --> 00:42:12.856
It's not a race.

00:42:13.036 --> 00:42:13.297
Yeah.

00:42:13.804 --> 00:42:16.434
But that's why I'm saying learn the product.

00:42:16.434 --> 00:42:21.396
So you're not just standing there thinking, what do I, what do I say next or what do I do now?

00:42:21.396 --> 00:42:25.072
That's why you have, if you ask for a sample, you have 14 days.

00:42:25.072 --> 00:42:35.284
14 days is more than enough time to learn a product, to use the product, to get familiar with it and then say if you like it or not and if you want to recommend it to people Exactly.

00:42:35.284 --> 00:42:44.295
So, yeah, so learn first three seconds hook, learn the product, keep it 30 seconds-ish and sold.

00:42:45.585 --> 00:42:48.152
Simple as that Simple 30 seconds can change your life.

00:42:48.152 --> 00:42:49.315
Yeah, wow.

00:42:49.315 --> 00:42:52.990
So if somebody asks you how long did it take for you to see the bread?

00:42:52.990 --> 00:42:53.793
About two years.

00:42:55.175 --> 00:42:58.173
I would say I posted consistently for two years before I saw any money.

00:42:58.193 --> 00:43:02.146
Yeah, and like not everybody, somebody might take longer.

00:43:02.146 --> 00:43:09.891
But for you to give like encouragement for somebody, what do you think if they follow like those guidelines that you give?

00:43:09.891 --> 00:43:14.710
You think it'll take somebody else two years well look, or or your game.

00:43:14.710 --> 00:43:15.813
Would like put them on.

00:43:15.813 --> 00:43:18.257
If they execute that, stick by it.

00:43:18.257 --> 00:43:18.838
How long?

00:43:18.838 --> 00:43:20.106
How realistically?

00:43:20.106 --> 00:43:20.588
How long?

00:43:20.969 --> 00:43:25.778
it took me two years to make money, but I didn't know any of this stuff.

00:43:25.778 --> 00:43:37.253
So I feel like if you get to creating content and you are yourself, you're keeping it short and simple.

00:43:37.253 --> 00:43:46.380
If you're on shops, if you're familiar with the product and it's a good product, like that, that's it.

00:43:46.380 --> 00:43:48.427
Like nobody taught me any of this.

00:43:48.427 --> 00:43:52.097
I learned this along the way and I think that's why it took me so long.

00:43:52.485 --> 00:44:08.289
But if in the beginning, also in the beginning, like you know, tiktok again, it was very new things like that, especially tiktok shop yeah, it was so new, they were almost kind of just testing it out and there wasn't a lot of like you couldn't go back and look at like, really like your, your.

00:44:08.831 --> 00:44:21.711
Now it'll tell you exactly the moment it'll write you where somebody's clicked on your cart so it'll be like at, in this second, these many people clicked on your cart so you can go back and see all of that.

00:44:21.711 --> 00:44:23.726
Now you can go back and like look at all the analytics.

00:44:23.726 --> 00:44:25.119
You can go back and see anything at all the analytics.

00:44:25.119 --> 00:44:27.047
You can go back and see anything you want.

00:44:27.047 --> 00:44:35.637
They make it so easy for you now, but it takes time, it takes patience and, like you know, and and people again, this is hard.

00:44:35.637 --> 00:44:36.840
People have to.

00:44:36.840 --> 00:44:38.023
People think it's you know what.

00:44:38.103 --> 00:44:42.496
I'd rather just keep putting my shoes on and driving to work every day because it's a, it's a routine.

00:44:42.496 --> 00:44:46.693
They already know it's, they're comfortable with that, even if it's not what they want to be doing.

00:44:46.693 --> 00:44:52.369
Um, it's what they know and I don't blame them because that's what I did for a very long time.

00:44:52.369 --> 00:45:01.409
But it's like if you take the time and you study Tik TOK and and all that, like you, it's almost like you hack it.

00:45:01.409 --> 00:45:02.610
So when I learned Tik TOK, it's almost like you hack it.

00:45:02.630 --> 00:45:05.893
So when I learned TikTok, I took that.

00:45:05.893 --> 00:45:09.215
You know people don't really like Instagram.

00:45:09.215 --> 00:45:13.759
They're like in a fight with it because they're like I can't crack Instagram.

00:45:13.759 --> 00:45:25.302
I've had my Instagram for like six years, never got over to 300 followers and every day when I would check, I'd lose like two or three followers.

00:45:28.085 --> 00:45:36.746
So I started using the same thing, the same thing I was doing on tiktok I was I started taking it over to instagram and and I also on my instagram they have a lot of on the stories.

00:45:36.746 --> 00:45:42.771
They have a lot of things to keep your followers engaged yeah, the question box, the polls, things like that.

00:45:42.771 --> 00:45:44.858
So I started using that a lot.

00:45:44.858 --> 00:45:50.614
I I started taking my short videos over to instagram, even if they weren't the most aesthetic all of that.

00:45:50.614 --> 00:45:55.295
It was just the real raw me like you get on tiktok, which you know.

00:45:55.315 --> 00:46:00.952
You go on instagram and it's like everybody's fancy over there oh yeah, if you're not in a g-wagon, what are you doing you?

00:46:00.972 --> 00:46:05.289
got money on instagram like it's just people posting like there's starbucks and this, that.

00:46:05.289 --> 00:46:13.163
So I took my real self over to Instagram and this started.

00:46:13.163 --> 00:46:18.260
I started posting consistently on Instagram in February of this year.

00:46:18.541 --> 00:46:19.485
Yeah, something like that.

00:46:19.505 --> 00:46:34.896
So from February to now um I've gained like 50, 50 000 followers on instagram wow by just again being myself, which before I wouldn't do that I would post once a month yeah, you were scared to be yourself.

00:46:34.936 --> 00:46:43.030
I was scared because people that I went to school, that we went to school with and stuff would like follow me, and which they probably follow me on tiktok.

00:46:43.030 --> 00:46:55.333
But it's almost like TikTok because I started there, it was my safe place so I could be myself and you know, you don't really, I don't know, but until one day I was like you know what?

00:46:55.333 --> 00:46:59.295
Like, no, if there's money on TikTok, there has to be money on Instagram.

00:46:59.315 --> 00:47:13.119
Oh yeah, so I took it to Instagram and again, like I said, frombruary to now I've gained over 50 000 followers and I have like some um, I do have like collabs that I do too like on instagram.

00:47:13.119 --> 00:47:21.688
You know, some brands give me discount codes, things like that, um, so I've made my my little money on instagram too.

00:47:21.688 --> 00:47:25.336
I've slowly, like started merging onto Facebook too.

00:47:25.336 --> 00:47:29.905
Dang, I made my first whopping five bucks last month, dang.

00:47:30.144 --> 00:47:30.226
On.00:47:30.286 --> 00:47:31.711


Facebook, which I'm so proud of.00:47:32.065 --> 00:47:34.273


That used to be gas money, yeah.00:47:34.405 --> 00:47:37.942


So I mean, I've had my Facebook for 10 years and I never made a dime out of it.00:47:37.942 --> 00:47:38.284


So too.00:47:38.945 --> 00:47:41.293


I feel like that's like the hardest one.00:47:41.293 --> 00:47:48.431


Like you know, instagram's like pretty popular, yeah, and people like you know make money on there like influencers and all that.00:47:48.431 --> 00:47:51.094


Like you can make money on Facebook.00:47:51.614 --> 00:47:51.934


Oh yeah.00:47:51.934 --> 00:47:57.099


That's crazy, you can make money off views, too, on Facebook and I think Like your posts or your stories.00:47:57.099 --> 00:47:59.081


I think your posts.00:47:59.461 --> 00:48:02.505


Yeah, well, obviously people comment your reels like your videos, videos, stuff like that.00:48:02.505 --> 00:48:03.327


So I don't know.00:48:03.347 --> 00:48:13.518


I remember I deleted facebook well, you should make it again because so I even got this notification the other day, and it said that it gave me a notification that one of my videos excuse me was doing really good.00:48:13.518 --> 00:48:34.010


And it said if you, if I got like I don't know how many reposts and how many I don't know what I was um, I could get five hundred dollars wow yeah, so like they throw like all these little things and like there's these little like emojis with like the celebrate and stuff, and they're like congratulations, jasmine, like you're real got to this.00:48:34.411 --> 00:48:45.110


So I'm like, oh my God, I started like getting, um, you know, comfortable now like posting on these other apps, and I'm starting to see now, like you know, doors are opening.00:48:45.110 --> 00:48:48.096


So my next move is I'm moving to.00:48:48.096 --> 00:48:49.217


We're moving to Snapchat.00:48:49.418 --> 00:48:49.878


Oh man.00:48:50.726 --> 00:48:52.572


Which I have no idea what I'm doing over there.00:48:52.572 --> 00:48:54.472


I've never really used it like that.00:48:54.764 --> 00:48:57.655


I was watching a video that there's like good money on that.00:48:57.655 --> 00:49:05.108


I'm like people love to watch you and like Snapchat's like in real time, so it's like people are always on the Snap.00:49:05.228 --> 00:49:08.693


Yeah, you don't have to wait for me to edit a video, exactly so.00:49:08.693 --> 00:49:11.018


I heard that Snapchat pays for your stories.00:49:11.018 --> 00:49:13.487


Like every story you post.00:49:13.487 --> 00:49:14.853


Well, like, depending on, like, your views and stuff.00:49:14.853 --> 00:49:16.833


That's what I've heard, but we'll have to get into that.00:49:18.067 --> 00:49:22.351


If we go viral over on Snapchat, we'll let you guys know and we'll make a whole other video on it.00:49:22.351 --> 00:49:28.248


But yeah, yeah, there's, there's, like, there is money out there.00:49:28.248 --> 00:49:29.952


You guys like on social media like you have no clue.00:49:29.952 --> 00:49:36.159


You can get money from views, you can be getting commission, you can like, you can do so much.00:49:36.159 --> 00:49:40.989


Again, like I said, like there was a brand that flew me out to la how many times did we travel?00:49:40.989 --> 00:49:44.956


Last year, tiktok invited us out to seattle, new york, california.00:49:44.956 --> 00:49:46.539


Um, where else did we go?00:49:47.106 --> 00:49:48.130


miami we went to.00:49:48.130 --> 00:49:49.333


Miami was this year.00:49:49.353 --> 00:50:11.130


We had, we had to cancel it, though we had um, we were invited to dallas, but we had to skip that um, we were, we were outside last year we definitely got out the desert yeah but yeah, I feel like, especially like, like I'm obviously in the trade, you know it's, it's, it's a tough, tough job, it pays good.00:50:11.170 --> 00:50:20.364


But you know, I feel like you know I've always kind of been the black sheep, so like I've always put in 10 times the amount of work but never been acknowledged.00:50:20.364 --> 00:50:24.567


Because, you know, people are haters everybody loves you to your competition.00:50:24.567 --> 00:50:26.447


Or you know, people are haters, everybody loves you to your competition.00:50:26.447 --> 00:50:50.518


Or you know, yes, and I feel like, obviously you know I've quit work to help you and all that, and like for this place, like for your hard work to pay off for that, but also my hard work when you're like grinding, like it all pays off and I think for a lot of people they're happy to see that because you don't see too much couples nowadays sacrificing for each other and helping each other.00:50:50.518 --> 00:51:00.182


Because, like you said, when you started making that bread, a lot of women would have been like, hey, 4g's, you know what?00:51:00.182 --> 00:51:01.583


I don't like you, no more.00:51:01.643 --> 00:51:03.505


Yeah, or they would have kept it a secret.00:51:06.134 --> 00:51:07.038


Yeah, they would have kept it a secret.00:51:07.038 --> 00:51:10.168


And they would have kept it a secret.00:51:10.168 --> 00:51:13.561


Yeah, they would have kept it a secret, and and it's like they would have just started plotting how am I gonna make this grand escape because I'm starting to make money?00:51:13.581 --> 00:51:16.228


or they would have took that and, like you know, went and just like for themselves.00:51:16.228 --> 00:51:19.054


Or, like I said, never like, said like a peep.00:51:19.054 --> 00:51:28.818


But I feel, like you know, since the beginning, like I feel like we've seen a lot of like potential in each other and I feel like anything that we want to do, we encourage each other.00:51:28.818 --> 00:51:42.793


Like when you wanted your detail business like I, I didn't have a job but I had a home depot credit card and I went to home depot and I got you like power washer the power washer and some stuff from home depot because, like it was, I was like that's what he wants to do.00:51:42.893 --> 00:51:47.289


When I was like recording content, you were probably like what is she doing now?00:51:47.289 --> 00:51:57.996


Like you, you you believed in me when I got into like a photography for a little bit yeah, I even helped you with the wedding remember yes, yes, the wedding.00:51:57.996 --> 00:51:58.416


Um.00:51:58.416 --> 00:52:02.989


So I feel like just couples just don't want, they don't want to do that anymore.00:52:03.210 --> 00:52:07.456


It's yeah, they're not going all in with each other it's just like, hey, let's stick to what we know.00:52:08.838 --> 00:52:10.739


Drive to work every day, do this like.00:52:10.739 --> 00:52:11.987


Come home, make dinner.00:52:11.987 --> 00:52:24.313


Like you're telling me that I have to go clock into work every day for eight hours, drop my kids off at daycare, come home and make dinner and call that a life.00:52:25.235 --> 00:52:25.876


That's tough.00:52:26.277 --> 00:52:27.018


I like no.00:52:27.018 --> 00:52:31.076


Well, I mean, I hope that one day you don't have to work construction anymore.00:52:31.076 --> 00:52:32.427


That's why you got to post your content.00:52:32.608 --> 00:52:34.813


I know I'm trying.00:52:35.416 --> 00:52:36.016


Yes, I know.00:52:36.364 --> 00:52:37.911


But that's the thing.00:52:37.911 --> 00:52:51.494


It's like now that, like you're doing good, like now I can go back to the trade and just like I mean just naturally.00:52:51.494 --> 00:52:51.994


You know I work hard.00:52:51.994 --> 00:53:03.887


So it's like now, like one of my favorite quotes, like Maverick says, I'm re-engaging, like I'm about to show back up and I'll work everybody, you know, respectfully, like hey, just like my dad taught me he's like you, show up and show what you're made out of.00:53:03.887 --> 00:53:13.918


It might offend a lot of 90 of the guys next to me, but where it really matters is the people who are in charge and you know you've seen them take care of me.00:53:13.918 --> 00:53:23.628


I've gotten the company truck before you know raises here and there, but when I wasn't all in, you know, I kind of gave it, gave it up and kind of one foot in, one foot out.00:53:23.628 --> 00:53:31.414


But now that, now that like you're good, you're stable, like now I could go back, dominate that area, because I've been doing it 10 years.00:53:31.414 --> 00:53:32.750


So it's like a walk in the park.00:53:33.231 --> 00:53:33.373


Yeah.00:53:33.806 --> 00:53:34.990


And you know what I mean.00:53:34.990 --> 00:53:42.556


Two incomes are better than one and, like now we can just work towards the life we want.00:53:42.556 --> 00:53:48.347


You know, before we were just fighting for the life we kind of didn't want, you know.00:53:48.347 --> 00:53:54.894


So that's why we tell people like, that's why you have to, your youth is the best thing you can have is you have to work.00:53:54.894 --> 00:54:05.326


You have to work hard to get ahead, because if you fight for what you want now, you're gonna have the life you want later, instead of fighting for the life you don't want later.00:54:05.326 --> 00:54:06.547


You know what I'm saying.00:54:06.567 --> 00:54:14.552


So it's like the fact that we can, like we're on the same page, going all in One kind of, is, like, you know, stumbling.00:54:14.552 --> 00:54:16.173


We're there to pick each other back up.00:54:16.173 --> 00:54:24.920


You know we also have to be examples for our kids because you know our parents come from, you know my mom's from Mexico.00:54:24.920 --> 00:54:26.181


Your parents are from Mexico.00:54:26.181 --> 00:54:33.405


You know they're hard workers.00:54:33.405 --> 00:54:34.869


But hard work only gets you far in this life, you know.00:54:34.929 --> 00:54:49.690


And for you to basically like, hack the matrix, like you're literally the one that got sent to change the generations that come after you, like, and that's why you have to go through those hard times, because people are like, oh, she's not gonna amount to nothing.00:54:49.690 --> 00:54:50.891


She didn't finish high school.00:54:50.891 --> 00:54:57.534


You know we have big hearts so we're always, you know, emotion in our heart, on our sleeve.00:54:57.534 --> 00:55:06.478


So, like you know, a lot of people don't believe in us and that's why God blesses you like that, because there's no other way.00:55:06.478 --> 00:55:07.659


How did you go?00:55:07.659 --> 00:55:13.637


Like you're telling me all that happened two years posting not a dime.00:55:13.637 --> 00:55:15.731


Then you start going viral.00:55:15.731 --> 00:55:22.297


You took me out of work, like we traveled so much and you can't make this up.00:55:22.445 --> 00:55:33.436


It doesn't make sense how I applied to literally over a hundred jobs and I didn't get one call back literally and quick little backstory.00:55:33.436 --> 00:55:42.512


So, um, about 10 days before I went viral, you got laid off or fired I don't know what it is.00:55:42.532 --> 00:55:47.286


Well, I had gave back the company truck and I'm I'm union.00:55:47.286 --> 00:55:51.295


I'm hardcore union, so I gave back the truck in good faith.00:55:51.295 --> 00:55:55.012


They're trying to force me to do something I was not obligated to do.00:55:55.012 --> 00:56:02.532


I was well within my rights and I basically got threatened to be fired until I was like you know what that's why I'm in the union got.00:56:02.532 --> 00:56:04.076


I spoke to my business manager.00:56:04.076 --> 00:56:05.599


He called the boss.00:56:05.599 --> 00:56:14.494


It got worked out 30 seconds later, but by the time I got home I was still dealing with that and obviously you're my best friend, so you knew something was wrong yeah.00:56:15.335 --> 00:56:18.068


So it was literally like days before it happened.00:56:18.068 --> 00:56:21.856


Again I'm stressing out, I've applied to, I've applied everywhere.00:56:21.856 --> 00:56:27.775


I even went down to Home Depot and like talk to like the manager, literally almost like begged him for a job.00:56:27.775 --> 00:56:29.644


At that point I think I had applied at Starbucks.00:56:29.644 --> 00:56:36.570


Like it was like getting so out of hand, like I would take anything at that point, like I wanted to help you so bad because I saw you so stressed out.00:56:36.570 --> 00:56:42.409


And and then you come home and like tell me, basically like you don't have a job.00:56:43.532 --> 00:56:46.438


I felt like literally, like the world just like came down.00:56:46.438 --> 00:56:49.110


I had to go lay down, like I thought I was gonna pass out.00:56:49.110 --> 00:56:54.532


I was like there's no way, like there's no way that I'm not getting a job and this guy just got fired.00:56:54.532 --> 00:57:01.474


I have to go lay down and then obviously, like luckily your work situation got um resolved and all that.00:57:01.474 --> 00:57:08.217


But again, I feel like god did that because he already knew, he was already there Preparing your table.00:57:08.465 --> 00:57:16.992


Yes, and he knew that I was going to need you because you took a break from work to help me, because it got so overwhelming.00:57:16.992 --> 00:57:19.510


Our house was then filled with packages.00:57:19.510 --> 00:57:26.159


After I went viral, like our hallway was like you couldn't even walk in the house.00:57:26.159 --> 00:57:27.445


I was getting so much pr.00:57:27.445 --> 00:57:34.469


I was getting like so many samples, so many everything I I needed you to help me with the kids to keep organized, to literally not lose it.00:57:34.469 --> 00:57:45.179


So I think like overall, like the, the message I would say here, like I hope everybody like learned from us, or learned from this.00:57:45.581 --> 00:57:55.717


But I think the most important thing is take a moment and and like, listen to what god is trying to tell you.00:57:55.717 --> 00:58:08.865


If you don't believe in god, like, listen to yourself, like your spirit, whatever, like you know, take, take a deep breath and and realize, like, what, what?00:58:08.865 --> 00:58:09.748


What is happening?00:58:09.748 --> 00:58:17.172


If something isn't, if you're forcing yourself like in a lane, you're probably not supposed to be going that way.00:58:17.172 --> 00:58:25.697


It's probably like, hey, like you know me, I was getting so desperate for a job, but maybe god was was just telling me hey, girl, slow down, slow down.00:58:25.697 --> 00:58:28.514


Like there's something else for you, like right around the corner.00:58:29.235 --> 00:58:29.657


Exactly.00:58:29.978 --> 00:58:43.971


And, like you, like, yeah, maybe he didn't have to go down like that, but maybe that was again God trying to say hey, your wife is going to need you in a few days, something big is going to happen and you're going to have to leave work, so we just made it a little sooner.00:58:43.971 --> 00:58:47.418


Like you know, you have to listen to all of that.00:58:47.478 --> 00:58:47.719


Yep.00:58:49.945 --> 00:58:59.844


So, you know, maybe you think that it's social media that you want to do, maybe it's podcasting, maybe it's like something else.00:58:59.844 --> 00:59:06.137


I just like sleep on things and really like see what it is Like.00:59:06.137 --> 00:59:07.438


I should have known better.00:59:07.438 --> 00:59:10.833


I should have known better that that's why I wasn't landing a job.00:59:10.833 --> 00:59:15.094


Something was going to happen, but obviously I couldn't, you know, I couldn't put my finger on it.00:59:15.094 --> 00:59:17.911


I was just so stressed out and so overwhelmed.00:59:17.911 --> 00:59:22.846


But look what happened days later my life changed days after that.00:59:23.306 --> 00:59:25.755


So we're really grateful for TikTok.00:59:25.755 --> 00:59:27.851


We hope it stays around.00:59:27.851 --> 00:59:38.675


And basically the message for today guys, believe in yourself, trust in your intuition, walk by faith, not by sight, and whatever you put into this world, you get back.00:59:38.675 --> 00:59:41.914


Those are just fundamental principles of this universe.00:59:41.914 --> 00:59:48.791


So you're seeing it live in real time, jasmine's life transforming and hey, she's here to pass the knowledge.00:59:48.791 --> 00:59:51.139
