This might be the best sequence of Sixers basketball I've seen in recent memory. Euphoric.
Whatever you're doing, stop for a minute to watch this. Trust me. π₯π
Kai Cenat released a video saying streaming was holding him back from his real passion Vivet but he's grateful he was able to make over 900 million from streaming to pursue his fashion and acting career π¬
"I have over 800 million in the bank my streaming days are over chat"
The Sixers starting lineup tonight:
Franklin the Dog
Franklin the Dogβs brother
Josh Harrisβs estranged son
The bassist in Nick Nurseβs alt cover band
Justin Edwards
my barber asked me what i do for work
"i sell stuff online"
"like dropshipping?"
"nah like guides and templates. digital files."
he laughed
"people pay for files? like PDFs?"
"yeah"
"how much you make doing that"
"last month was like $47K"
he stopped cutting
"i'm sorry what"
"$47K. give or take."
dead silence for a good 10 seconds
"from PDFs."
"from PDFs."
he finished the cut barely saying anything. i could tell his brain was somewhere else.
two weeks later he texts me.
"yo can i ask you something"
"yeah"
"could i sell like... a guide on how to talk to your barber? like how to explain what you want? people come in here every day and can't describe a basic fade"
i told him that's actually a perfect product. specific problem. clear audience. something he knows better than almost anyone.
"how long would it take"
"write it out like you're explaining to a friend. add pictures of different cuts with the right words to use. maybe 15-20 pages. you could finish it this weekend."
he sent me the finished PDF 4 days later
i helped him set up gumroad. told him to post it in some reddit hair communities. nothing fancy.
first month: $2,100
from a barber. selling a PDF. about haircuts.
he texted me last week asking if he could make one about "how to maintain a fade between cuts"
this man is about to build an empire teaching people how to talk to barbers
meanwhile people online are researching niches for 6 months trying to find something "unique"
the most profitable knowledge is the shit you think is too obvious to sell
everyone's an expert at something they don't realize is valuable
your "common sense" is someone else's "i'd pay $30 for that"
TRENDING: Colin Cowherd placed the #Eagles as a borderline top 10 team in the NFL because of Jalen Hurts and Nick Sirianni.
βThe roster is excellent but I donβt trust Jalen Hurts or Nick Sirianni in big spots.β
bouncer at a strip club taught me more about sales than any course
$300K/year
works 4 nights a week
no degree
barely speaks English
watched him turn away a bachelor party of 12 guys
"sorry full tonight"
(club was half empty)
they begged
offered $500 to get in
he said $1,000
they paid
i asked him after:
"bro it was empty why'd you do that"
he looked at me like i was stupid
"if i let them in easy, they spend $200
if i make them pay to enter, they spend $2,000
they already decided the night is expensive
so they act expensive"
tested this on consulting:
before: "$5K for the project"
response: "let me think about it"
after: "i'm at capacity but let me see if i can move things around"
[wait 3 days]
"ok i can fit you in but it's $8K because of the rush"
close rate went from 34% to 71%
the lesson:
people don't value what comes easy
make them work for access
then charge more for the privilege
scarcity isn't a tactic
it's a filter
use it
