I Started A $100 Goodwill Business

[@AsinineFilms]

In 1993 I started an auto detailing business from $100 at walmart and withing 6 months had it up to 40k a year (about 75k now) and sold it shortly after.

[@lonsalerno2441]

Can you explain further please

[@emeraldc.8796]

I think you have truly great ideas. I'm a 60+ yr old female & I'm not very creative. I definitely feel you are an inspiration, thank you & God Bless you✝️🙏🏼

[@muireanne]

Interesting idea but I don't think you understand your audience. There is this HUGE hatred of plastic plants and real ones would elevate this idea alot. Real succulents are kind of hardy and with the right prep on the container this would probably still work.

[@haku155]

Couldn't agree more. My parter would love this idea and then be immediately turned off by it because they're not real plants.

[@teresayeates3437]

Disagree, different audience.

[@ThrowingRave]

​@@teresayeates3437 mf how would *YOU* know? You never even studied business 😂

[@love4allsports]

The book was my favorite. I know you said you aren’t super artistic Stevie but i think this video proved you are very creative and artistic. Amazing Work!

[@Jake-Day]

This is an excellent idea…. If you’re going to make content from it.

[@SendCore]

hey stevie i took the custom gshock and evolved on it and ive made about 30k since that video post thank you! now im looking to switch to something else because watches are kind of a pain to sell and ebay has alot of rules and guidelines with it. I need help! you should make a video starting a business with a higher entry $ value and i would watch it 100%, especially a series!

So, what happened with your sales?

[@Unemployedbroskis]

You should try a trash can cleaning business you can be very successful and there is a big demand

[@lorenemeyer4665]

The vintage suitcase (which was in good condition) and sought after ad there is getting fewer and from them . People use for decor, props, and storage like jewelry and stack. No money or time invested- which you have to account into the math, time is THE one thing people do not calculate in and it'sthe most important factor) HE could have sold it just like it is for same OR more😊

[@OnwardsUpwards410]

My thoughts exactly

[@randomdm]

Came here for this comment. Agree completely. Waste of & ruined a really good suitcase. Suitcase would sell here in a vintage shop for $60 plus

[@gdj777]

I think hostinger is the real moneymaker in this video

[@CrazyCodFinatic]

ya. hate when influencers do this.

[@OkiDoki181818]

It's not the pointnof the video though. And who cares when they do it. You want them not being able to pay their bills and never share content again? Think before you post. Jeez

[@CrazyCodFinatic]

@@OkiDoki181818 point is a lot of these influencers fake stuff like this. nobody real bought anything of his in the video..

[@lorenlal]

Right now I have a Lump in my through because I just watched my first video of yours and it was the one where you bought your first Rolex from that Sweet woman who was going through a hard time and she needed to sell the Rolex her Grandfather Gave her, I never expected to hear at the end you giving it back to her along with an additional $500.00. I am sooo touched by your kindness, The tears started flowing. I never watched any other video of yours, so I have no idea what they consist of. But I most certainly will be binge watching from now on. You are a Breath of fresh air and a gift. I can't wait to go on this journey although a little late. Glad to meet you, Stevie. You have a new Boston Fan, where do you pahk ya cah?? I think I just broke spellcheck...lol ...CIAO for now....

[@moniquenicole834]

This is actually a cute idea that I'd like to try soon! Thanks for the inspiration!

Moral of the story is he’s still doing better on KZbin than with anything else.

[@grucha106]

Thx :)

[@OkiDoki181818]

Not really. Moral of the story is starting small can be a valuable learning experience that can help you build essential skills.

[@definitelynotgore]

He sold a 7 figure business like 8 years ago, I’m sure he’s fine lol.

Legendary creativity and hustle

[@danielseligman748]

Most slept on business youtuber out there! Keep hustling and inspiring others Stevie

[@matthewludivico1714]

As prototypes, I think these have some evergreen potential if mass marketed to retail. And it seems it is so easy to craft this idea into a prototype, because the supply and demand is already solved. So this idea is basically taking something already profitable, but mundane, and then trying to take it next level in a way that is aesthetic to look for the buyer that wants more. But I agree with other commentators...live succulents are even more interesting and a bigger draw.

[@julianzzzzzzzz]

Brilliant idea Stevie! Keep up the amazing work.

[@kathybeal4408]

Love the coffee cup idea!

[@melq9437]

Yes. Years ago I used the same idea but filled the mugs with Christmas sprigs. Also made Teacher Gift ones. They sold really well at a craft fair and a consignment market. I think because they were really pretty but did not cost too much; perfect for a gift for child's teacher.

[@mariap2226]

Super cool idea and they came out great 👍

[@brianabaynham9784]

They all came out really nice, but the book is my favorite.

[@lydiasalinas5106]

You’re a creator and inventive. Curious about what happened to your first $100 business you started, was it successful?

Might as well go get a few trash bags out of a random dumpster and flip that

Goodwill is expensive since Millienials found them

[@shanahz9573]

Yeah, I bet inflation has had nothing to do with it. Just those pesky Millennials.

[@eatme9970]

So, you're saying Goodwill has been expensive since the 80s?

[@HP-0101]

Do you glue the rocks in place?

[@robotron07]

Well, once you factor in the time and effort invested, it most likely will not be worth it unless they sell for $100 to $200 and you must upscale the business. It could work for other concepts, but the process would really have to be unique and not easily replicable by anyone who just looks at it and figures it out. That means special tooling and unique skills that you have to develop on your own, and then test it to see if they actually sell or it is just a nice little handcraft that looks cool, but not really saleable

[@EwaldCloete]

You should've done it with real succulents. They are hardy plants that would easily be able to handle this and shipping. Missed opportunity, and more plastic? Plants represent life, and that kinda represents the opposite.
