3 Ways to Make $100k in 2025 (even if you’re broke)

what if I told you that it was possible to make over $100,000 of profit in 2025 and that all it would take is just an hour a day if you're willing to put in the work and work on the right things is probably easier than you think but to be honest most opportunities won't even be able to get you to $100,000 within a year which means you'll end up wasting all your time and effort so in this video I'm going to give you the three best ways that can actually get you to $100,000 and Beyond

in 2025 I'll show you the proof that it works how difficult each one is to start and how much money they can make you shops like this one are literally making millions of dollars per year selling basic drop shipped products right on Tik Tok so for example this screen protector has sold over 400,000 times at $6 a piece which would come out to be well over $2 million or for example this mini karaoke wireless speaker has also sold over 200,000 times at around $12.50 a piece which again comes out to over $2 million in Revenue

but while these products have performed super well they're not even some kind of special secret outlier does this mean you have to make tons of Tik Tok videos to promote your products no and I'll explain why see some shops like this one that's selling these t-shirts they're actually really simple t-shirts usually some kind of funny saying and a nice font with a little graphic super easy stuff but this shop has gotten over 35,000 sales but they've had to post over 300 almost 400 Tik Tok videos to get all those sales the problem is that especially

if you're a beginner learning how to get the product posted for sale and then go film videos about the product is too much to learn all at once there's also shops like this one where they've made over a 100,000 sales and they haven't posted a single video from this account granted they could have posted videos from other accounts but I think that their strategy is a little bit different the reason that you don't have to become a master at making Tik Tok videos is because inside the Tik Tok shop section of Tik Tok users can

search for the type of products that they want to buy for example I might search for a funny mug for Dad which is a product that we could sell now here you can see all kinds of products that are selling right now now some of the results only have a few sales some have hundreds and some have thousands the point is I didn't find any of these products through a Tik Tok video they came up organically through search and since Tik Tok is such a new platform and there's hardly any sellers compared to other Market

places like Amazon ranking organically is much easier to do so for example if we just look at one of these products and we come to their shop you can see so this one has sold over 5,000 products and they haven't actually posted any videos from this account of course making videos helps you get those insane results but as you've seen you don't necessarily have to now you might be wondering since Tik Tok requires you to ship out your products within 3 days how do you find products that you can actually sell in a Tik Tok

shop see a shop like this one where they're selling these printed T-shirts they're not hand printing every single one of their 35,000 orders they're Drop Shipping those products using a method called print on demand print on demand allows you to work with a company like printify where you pick a blank product to sell like a t-shirt then you buy or make some kind of design upload it to that item and since printify can integrate directly into your Tik Tock shop you can simply post it for sale from printify directly to Tik Tok whenever someone finds

that t t-shirt on Tik Tok and orders it printify will have that t-shirt printed and shipped directly to the customer without you having to manually print or ship anything yourself and without you having to buy and hold inventory for those items you only have to pay for the product after someone has already made an order and after you're already profitable first is getting started getting all of your details like your shop name picking the product that you want to sell and getting your logo made those are all things that intimidate beginners but you only have

to do them once second is knowing what designs to actually make for your product third is making the design and fourth is getting traffic so that your products can sell getting started is definitely the hardest part and if you can do that then the rest is easy and I'll talk more about how to know what designs to sell and how to get them in a second if you want to make six figures this year especially if you aren't starting out with any money Tik Tok shop can definitely get you there it takes time and effort

and trial an error before it finally works but it works now you probably still do want to get the benefits from video if you're doing Tik Tok shop and that's where business number two comes into play which is with Tik Tok affiliate marketing we all know what affiliate marketing is it's where you agree with a business owner to promote their products whenever you generate sales for them you get to keep a percentage of the sale as a commission Tik Tok has built out this feature right inside of Tik Tok shop when you open up the

shop section of Tik Tok you should see this little earn button right here in the middle and when you click on it you'll have to fill out an application and assuming you get accepted you should see this little product Marketplace button here you can browse through all of the affiliate deals for products that you could promote depending on the value of the product you can earn decent commissions for selling some of these items the cool thing about Tik Tok right now is you're also able to see how well these certain products are already selling so

you can see how much commission you'll make and how many units have already sold some shops will even send you free or discounted products to make videos with which means making content is even easier here but that's not even the craziest part because if we come back into the earn Tab and we look for the learn from creators button here we can see the top most viral bestselling videos that are trending right now Tik Tok wants you to learn from what's already working so you can come in here and view the top most viral bestselling

videos and make your own based on what's already working for example a video like this she doesn't show her face the entire video and it's just a simple demonstration of the use case for the product now this product has sold over 40,000 times so because she's managed to get over 7 million views on this video we could guess she's made maybe 10,000 sales from this video to be conservative so with a $384 commission that would be nearly $40,000 for this 28c video now to be honest I'm guessing that actually from this one video she made

most of those sales herself around $100,000 because if we look at this shop's product page and we look at their videos you can see that they hardly get any views on all of their videos this Dynamic is super cool because by signing up to be an affiliate you can get experience for making videos that convert without any of The Upfront risk or time investment for actually setting up a shop or finding a product or if you're the shop owner who doesn't want to make videos to promote the products you're selling you could offer a nice

commission for Affiliates to come along and sell the products with video for you whether you're running your own Tik Tok shop or you're an affiliate for someone else's products you can easily get to six figures within a year if you're willing to put in the work plus the fact that Tik Tok is literally partnering with Amazon for inapp shopping this Marketplace is only getting started and I think it's truly one of the easiest and best opportunities to make well over six figures in 2025 do you want to see more videos about Tik Tok let me

know down below now if fsy isn't your speed or it sounds too overwhelming then the next business on the list is the one that made me my first few million dollars online which is taking the same few principles and selling on ET instead shops like this one are making hundreds of thousands of dollars per year from their computer by running a very similar print on demand shop on Etsy this is slightly different than Tik Tok but it's still fundamentally the same see printify happens to also be an Etsy approved integration which means we can run

the same business model on Etsy as well you pick out the product that you want to sell from their catalog you upload your design to it but instead of posting it for sale in Tik Tok you can post it for sale directly to your Etsy shop when a customer who comes to shop on Etsy finds your product and buys it again printify will have it printed and shipped directly to the customer again without any upfront inventory costs and without you having to actually print and ship the products yourself this means the only cost that you

have to start this business is the onetime $15 startup fee to open your Etsy shop and then it costs 20 cents per listing that you post for sale but if you sign up using my quick start guide from down below you save $8 on those listing fees with 40 free listings this shop for example is selling these kid-size sweatshirts and t-shirts and most of the designs that you'll see here that are working really well really aren't overly complicated they're just these short little sayings in a font that matches what the Etsy Shoppers are looking for

kind of a font with an Etsy Vibe some of their designs do have these little graphics on them but it's nothing you couldn't make with AI that means making this style of print on demand design is actually super easy to do we can check listing view to see that this particular shop has only been open for 1 year and 5 months and they've already made over 25 ,000 sales in that time or around 1,400 sales per month now this shop that's selling adult-sized T-shirts and sweatshirts their designs are a little more complex sometimes but if

you really gave it effort you could definitely figure out how to put something like these together this shop opened almost exactly 1 year ago and they've also already done over 25,000 sales that means if they only made a $4 profit on each sale they've already done over $100,000 of profit in their first year now it's it's likely more than that because they're probably keeping $5 to $8 of profit per order but to be conservative they've likely still made over $100,000 in their first year of being open for business now you might be wondering how you'd

even go about making something like this if you have no experience but it's really quite simple usually all you have to do is type out some kind of saying in a NIC looking font occasionally add a graphic in there and then you just have to get it listed for sale in your shop now look if you want to make six figures in your first year being in business then you really have to be willing to put in the work with any of these businesses I know that I wasn't born with the ability to do this

I had to learn and teach myself and follow what worked for others it also meant making and posting hundreds of products for sale both of these shops that we've looked at are making great money and they're first year being open for business but they've also both posted hundreds of products in their shops for sale most people have trouble posting their first 10 or their first 100 products now it would be a disservice to you if I didn't leave you with this lesson when I got started with print on demand back when I was completely broke

and only had a few hundred to my name this was at a time in my life where I was too old to be dead broke without consistant income my single mom was still providing for me and I had to figure out how to make money or go back to working a job that I hated I decided that I was going to invest my last few hundred into trying to grow my business because if I failed I'd be down a few hundred but if I succeeded I could be up a few hundred per day now I

tell you that not because you should go blow the rest of your money but because before making that decision to invest I was too Frugal to grow a business I was always looking for shortcuts and ways around having to spend money to make money with my business it has been my experience that every dollar I invest it comes back to me tenfold if you need help growing a print on demand business subscribe
