I hate it, Anita, to be honest. One day you just let me go.
Okay, so we got 5.5K from consulting. So AI SEO consulting specifically, which you originally sourced through Upwork, which is awesome. And then the 10K from the full-times, and then the remaining 38,000 has all been from your content and AI or something else.
I didn't really monetize that channel. That's part of the reason why I got burned out because I was doing all this work for free pretty much, right? I'm super excited to be here with Sandy Lee. She had no technical background, but in six months, she's managed to grow her YouTube channel from zero and hit her first $48,000 month with no tech background, no prior experience in AI. And she's going to share everything today, break everything down today. She's amazing. She's a mom of three and she's already blown my mind in the 20 minutes that I've met her. So Sandy, we'd love to hear more about your background.
Hi, Sabrina. Thanks for having me here. Yeah, I'll tell you a little bit more about me. So, back in the day, I graduate college, that was a long time ago and my major was political science, but when I graduated political science, I was like a little bit lost in terms of what kind of job I can do, where I can go. I did my internship at United Nations, but quickly realized that was not my passion. So, I went to in sales and marketing instead. So, I've been in sales and marketing for 10 plus years, managing over 50 million accounts, um $50 million account, and I'm just going back and I'm still working for my full-time job as a regional manager, managing 25 people, and um currently with AI, I was able to make $48,000 just this month. And it's May is not even done just yet. So, it's I did four times X to with my um full-time income. And I want to talk a little bit more about that because the reason why I want to talk about it and be so transparent is so that I can tell you this is really possible. And like you said, I have three kids too.
Yeah. Your background is amazing and this is going to appeal to a lot of viewers who have listened to my content, but many people don't believe it's necessarily possible or within reach for them. they don't have a technical background or they're working a full-time job or they are raising kids and it's really hard to find the free time to do something else to experiment with AI. So would love to dive into everything there. What even inspired you to get into AI in the first place? What were your first couple of steps and how did you juggle all of this with such a crazy workload?
Yeah, thank you. Thanks for asking that. Well, the reason why full transparency I got into AI was like around six months ago. I knew about Chachi BT of course I used Chachi PT and there me and my husband would talk about this is so cool you know it can figure out my feature whatever like Chachi PT was amazed about but something that we thought I thought about it really heavily is I can't really put everything into one income basket which was my full-time job because before a couple years ago I used to work for this one startup company and I used to be the highest producer when it comes to generating money And the CEO loved me. I loved the company. I put my time and dedication, everything into it. I would work 14 to 16 hours a day for this specific company. And one day, they just let me go. They're like, Sandy, today's the last day. I'm sorry. We're restructuring the company. And I'm like, "Yeah, dude, what? What's going on? I spent this much time. I was literally you're the highest top producer. And then how come you're letting me?" And I was really frustrated. that I've realized it's not the skills, right? It doesn't matter how good you are for your company. It doesn't matter how much time you put effort into, but if you're having somebody else hold out your income basket, the next day you're lost and you feel frustrated, you feel defeated and feel like you're not worth anything. And I hated that feeling. That's the worst feeling that you can get.
Yeah.
Thank you for sharing that, by the I know it's a really difficult situation that many people out there are currently struggling with and this is actually one of the reasons I'm so passionate about teaching solopreneurs and entrepreneurs AI because I've worked at a big company guys with like thousands and thousands of employees. I loved my team but at the end of the day all of the gains that you bring, the hard work you bring, it doesn't go back to you. It goes to the investors, the shareholders, people way above you. And that's kind of just how it is in corporates, even at smaller midsize businesses. It's it's very different. Like I I wish more people would have like total control of their income and time, money, flexibility. So, thanks again for sharing that part of it.
Yeah, 100%. And I agree with you on that. And the other thing is I wanted to be more free from my full-time job. I have a full-time job right now currently as well. That's part of the 48K, which I get 10 $10,000 a month. full transparency, but I feel like this is like this was a golden handcuff for me, if that makes sense. Meaning, you just tied into some place but with gold, right? But you can't really go anywhere, but I want to make sure if something happens to me with my full-time job, I am financially stable.
Okay. So, that was your motivation for kind of diversifying your income, making sure you're in control, you had that previous experience. And so, let's talk about the 48k. So, you mentioned $10,000 of that 48,000 is from your current full-time and then the remaining 38,000 has all been from your content and AI or something else.
Yes. So, even with that, I have multiple income basket because again, I don't want to rely on just one thing. So, if I were to break down specifically, let's do a little bit of math. So what I did is I went to Upwork and after I went to Upwork I been starting to apply the position that I have no idea what I'm talking about. Anything related to AI and automation I'm like just apply it.
That's amazing.
I know like because I had nothing that I know about SEO by the way AI SEO. I had to learn all that crazy stuff.
You just went and asked chat GPT to teach me everything about this right now. And I totally fake it until I make it. And I really made it. That's what that's what happened. I had no idea how to do NAN. I hated NAN to be honest. The workflow was so complicated. Um, yeah, for me and I that's when I had chatbt create NAN workflow and then just put it in there, make it look like I know what I was talking about. And then I got this one client for $3,000 retainer. That was SEO auto like blog automation. I created started creating everything. And then I quickly I realized I need some help and I got I hired a couple people to help me out. But then they didn't even know what was going on either. So they probably used my method. It's just applying for jobs. So I'm like dang.
Yeah, dude. This was like chaotic. But then that companies pay me the money. It's like Yeah. It's like what's happening?
Well, you know, for business owners because I've hired, you know, if I need help here and there, like we just want the thing to be done by someone. Like if you can figure it out, great. Figure it out. You know, like I personally care much more about communication skills. Like do you reply to me? Do you ask me clarifying questions? Do you understand like what we're trying to do here? And then like dude, just just take care of it, learn whatever you need to. And so I can see that definitely very much working as well.
Yeah. 1 1000%. Something that I do have skills is problem solving skills because I've been in sales and marketing with 10 plus years. So I knew what businesses want. So when I jump on a like a call like this for a job offer or like asking for a job position, I knew what they wanted, what they wanted to hear. I would talk about that. That's how I think I got the job. Anyways, I used to be 3K monthly retainer and that's when I learned cloud code and I realized, oh Dane, this is really good. Cloud code can fix my problems and it did in like two days. They fixed the whole workflow, made this happen. I asked for raise the money. I asked for more money for this company specifically and they're paying 5.5K right now monthly retainer. So that's one of the income basket I have this one client and um I don't have any more capability of getting more clients just because quickly I realized you know what this is like a chasing game too like if you go for the AI services keep chasing client what if they don't you know want to use you anymore then you're like wanting another client I don't want that kind of life to be honest
it's not necessarily recurring income but it's great for fast cash it's great for learning if you are not sure what to do next. And so I still really recommend consulting and services as a starting point, but it's not necessarily the easiest to scale up and it's not recurring either. So if a if a client backs out, they stop working with you and then you have to go get another client. Uh you know, so it can be stressful on that side as well.
Yeah, 100%. I I do still recommend that as well. even going to Upwork if you want some fast cash just like what you talked about that is one of the best way that you can go and it literally showed me how what's possible because I've tried everything I've tried Amazon FBA I tried drop shipping Etsy
oh wow I didn't know that
yeah I tried all of that crap I'm like you know what I got to make something work and nothing worked I failed all of it
what do you think was the difference though between like I personally didn't like jump into a lot of those because I was I was just in the startup world in the Silicon Valley, but like what do you think is the difference between all the ones that you tried in the past versus like how did AI work now?
That's a great question right there because I I thought about that question a lot too. But I think one of the biggest difference is that a lot of creators out there, I'm not saying anything negative about them at all, but a lot of tutorials out there about drop shipping or like a print on demand or Etsy, um it's already in the past, but they're keep talking about their past success story over and over again like currently, right? So meaning it's overly saturated market where it's really hard for us to get up there and really earn the money versus AI is something that's even right now it's new. A lot of companies don't know and um they know the importance of it but they don't know how to use it. So right now there's so many opportunity for you to jump in. You can actually monetize it versus the other market it's already saturated.
Uh even though people say it's not but it is saturated. That's how I knew that this is not going to work and I actually failed. I even invested so much my thousands of dollars buying these courses and trying to make this work but just like
you should have just found my channel. I gave everything for free.
I know. I know, right? I found your channel after that when I learned about AI and also um the interview that you had with Tony Robinson's show. I watched all of that too. Yeah. So, I'm like, dang, she's legit. I gotta really see what's And then I try to find your consulting. It's like the shipping consulting thing, but no, but she has this cool app. Let me use that. So, yeah, that's how I got to know you too.
Cool. Okay. Okay. So, we got 5.5K from consulting. So, AI SEO consulting specifically, which you originally sourced through Upwork, which is awesome. And then the 10K from the full-time. So, what is the rest of the 48K in income?
Yeah, for sure. And so, let's do a little bit of math. This just this month I got some sponsorship deals for my YouTube. So I create I started this channel for AI Sandy Lee AI channel not even I think it was six months ago end of December and I've been a content creator since 2018. So grew my channel to 550k across three platforms teaching Spanish to Korean speakers. But I wanted to kind of duplicate that again and do it again because I knew how important building personal brand was. If you have a personal brand and presence, I believe that's going going to be one of the biggest differentiator. That's why I started this channel again. I grew my channel from 200 subscribers to 10K in less than a month with AI related stuff. So, I knew that was working. And after that, quickly, I've been getting a ton of inbound lead asking companies if they can sponsor, you know, like couple my videos or
I was one of them work for them.
Oh, yeah. Yes. her focus.
I was like, I'm happy to. Yes. And I'm like, I'm more than happy to because I literally used potato in the past and I'm actually right now I'm in a space where I need to expand more. So, I'm actually I just bought it again so that I can do it again. I tried to do that in towards the beginning and it was overwhelming for me because content creation was like this is too much with everything that's happening. But now I'm more stable. I can do it.
Um, but anyway, sponsorship is one of them and this is exactly how much I got. I got, let's see, $3,500 for the first sponsorship that I got ever and another 3500 and then 5,000 uh and 550. I'm doing doing the math.
Yeah.
And then 8,000. Yeah.
So, I'd love to dig into this a lot more because I can imagine people at this point will be like, well, she knows how to create content already. Like, she clearly had background in it. Were you monetizing at all your previous uh channels related to teaching Korean
that? Yeah, that's actually valid. I knew how to create content from 2018, but if you look at my channel, it sucks. Like me, you will be able to quickly tell, gosh, you did not know how to edit videos because I learned I learned like Premier, Adobe, After Effects, all that crazy stuff. And I got like one of the cheesy like not at all. Like if you look at my channel again, it's like
No, mine's worse.
We can mine's like horrible. But anyways, when it comes to Korean content, I didn't really have a format. I was going off the script. I didn't even do any any of the competitor research analytics. I just did very random stuff like I would just do like, "Hey, how do you say hello in Korean?" You know, like one of those very chey stuff. I feel like AI is an opportunity generator for us. like it's giving so much opportunity especially if English is not the native language which my case is not
right so it's just very easy for people to jump in and then actually build personal brand yeah
and I'd love to do a little bit before and after so in your previous life as a content creator what did it look like to be able to make all that content how many hours per week did it take you have a team helping with you helping you did you monetize that versus what does your process look like today
um I didn't really monetize that channel. That's part of the reason why I got burned out because I was doing all this work for free pretty much, right?
And the reason why is because I I really emphasize the importance of what does the world need before you creating content. So what I mean by that is I I follow this framework called eeky guy. It's a Japanese concept. It talks about the reason of being like it's talk deep diving into yourself. So there are four questions that they ask. First one is what do you love to do? Second second one is what are you great at? So what are you pretty much good at doing? And third one is what does the world need right now? And the fourth question is what can you get paid for from the world? And for me I only focus on those two things. What do I like to do which which is teaching other people and then what am I good at which is languages. I didn't really focus on left too of how I can actually generate money. So because I didn't have a clear concept, I didn't I couldn't really generate money even though I had a good few good few followers. So couple ways to do it is like few sponsorships I got maybe two less than two and uh the soul wanted to work for me or wanted me to work for them. So like which is the capital city of South Korea. So that was one of the ways I could do it but it was not sustainable at all. And your the other question is the number wise, right? How much time it took me to create content. It actually took longer. Even though I had no plans whatsoever and it was a crappy content, it took me longer because editing video took forever. It would take like six to eight hours to just to make two minute video in the
Wow.
Yes. It was pretty bad. It was like Yeah. I was I was doing all this crazy stuff. I was like at one point I was dancing just to see if that works and I'm like
oh my gosh I'm actually going to do some dance videos soon but you guys will see
for real for there may be a robot involved but no I remember my very first Tik Tok I was just like running around in multiple rooms like pulling stuffed animals and putting them in the camera and like waving my arms and it was like 4 hours to edit my very first Tik Tok video which was like 1 minute And of course it flopped. So I was just like depressed after that because I just spent four hours like being not myself, just being like crazy to try to get views and then nobody watched it.
I know that was me too. That was me too. Like I would put like this crazy makeup on and then like do be so not real like myself me dancing or like talking crazy or like talking.
And I'm like dude being authentic is so important. like you just got to show who you are instead of trying to copy other people. I do think copying their format is is important to be successful towards the beginning especially but eventually you have to be authentic. I mean uh being original you can hold that a little towards later because I think copying the format is very important in my opinion just because you need some views towards the beginning to be there.
Yeah, that's exactly what I teach. You know people blast me all the time. It's like, you're teaching people to copy other people. And I'm like, well, I'm trying to solve for the problem of quitting and burning out because that's the most likely scenario for most people who try to create content. They're going to burn out and then they're going to quit. So, how do you solve for that? Get them to their first successful piece of content as fast as possible. Once they kind of feel the dopamine rush of like, whoa, this is my I made this and people are actually interacting with it, engaging with it, then they're much more likely to like stay consistent making content. And it takes time anyway to like develop your own voice. Figure out what you enjoy talking about, especially if you're brand new to content creation. Like you don't really know up from down yet. And so, yeah, it's really cool that you've had those two experiences side by side because I I know a lot of people will listen to this and think, well, she was a content creator before that's why it's like easy for her now. But it was actually really hard to make content before and wasn't successful monetizing it consistently. But now with AI, you can take some of the skills and some of the mindset and do it like 10 times more easily now. I'm sure a lot of people would love to hear like did you like what was your process to go from zero to your first 10,000 subscribers on YouTube?
Yeah, that's a let me actually show you one thing. Um, one of the videos that I posted. So this is my channel right in the past. And when I first created content, I was creating some random stuff. was like, "Is AI safe for kids?" Just like such a random stuff. I have no idea. Google for N&N, you know. Um, but then I realized, you know what? I gotta really start copying other people to see what's working. And that's exactly what I did when it comes to vision claw. And I got some views towards the beginning. I had no idea what the vision claw was, but I know. And yeah, I'm like, "What the freak is this?" But then in X, right, they all talked about vision claws. I'm like, "Okay, let me talk about this." and I got some views. I'm like, "Okay, I guess this is kind of working." Then I went with the claw route and this is the first video that really popped up, which is the AI um website. The the how I did it is I copy other people's format. I'm talking about the topics, the ideas behind it, but I made it my own using my own experience. That's the most important thing. You have to I don't recommend somebody to be original honestly, but I recommend them being authentic. There are two main differences. Being original and being authentic. You're being yourself, but you're getting inspired by other people's um topic and what's been working. That's exactly what Mr. Beast does as well. He's the biggest creator. He how can he possibly create like copy other people's format when he's the biggest, right? But he does that. Anyways, I look at um one of the content and then read through their comments and then found this opportunity that a lot of people don't really talk about how can they sell AI website and that's how I got the views over here. Outlier score is pretty good and then I started talking about random stuff but this is the content that really got me that got a lot of attractions. So after I get this content right here, I was able to grow my channel to like 2,000 subscribers to like 4,000 subscribers. That was it. But then this as soon as I posted this content which is how I automate 90% of my social media content using cloud code. This is the combination of um getting inspired by other people but also being original with my story a little bit because I would talk about my story of how I used to create content and now using AI how it's faster. So after this, I posted this, which is not that far away, right? Two months ago. And then two months ago, I was able to grow my channel from like 2,000 views, 2,000 subscribers to like 100 uh 10,000 subscribers. And then ever since then, it's been working. And I created actually in this video, I talk about in this video, I talk about how I built the whole system using AI right here, right? using cloud code and I actually built this system um using AI right here. I don't know if you can see the screen right here the AI dashboard.
Yeah, perfect. But the problem was this is only what I had access to right this Sandy AI dashboard. So I started creating something similar and then just published it on Versal and Superbase on the back end. uh like Versal pretty much the front end and I was able to create my full website using this which is part of the revenue that I got. Um should I show you that too?
Oh sure. Yeah.
Okay. So this is the website that I built after creating the content because I saw the need and I saw the opportunity and this is what I tell everybody who comes me comes to me as well is you create your audience first and see what exactly what they need and then you you build your product afterwards. It's not back in the day we used to make product first and then we try to our best to market your product but nowadays it's the opposite. You build your audience first and then you create your services or make your product afterwards. And that's exactly what I did with this specific um app over here. Basically, what this is is it's giving the guidance of the personal blueprint, the eeky guide that we talked about, but not only that, if you actually go inside of this um creator studio, you can find your outlier videos. So, as an example, I put you, Sabrina, as one of them. I put myself, Patrick's, and Nate Herp. You can just add multiple different channels in here and see what kind of content is working.
Did I just say I asked Claude to make my mom as much money as possible?
Which one? Which one?
I asked Claude to make my mama That's so funny.
Yeah, dude. That was a sponsored video. So, I I like, believe it or not, I thought about it a lot. This was not um I didn't copy the people's well as money much much money as much as possible. Actually, you're the original for that, right? And then I saw your video. No. Or
there was no no there was a chat GBT video two or three years ago which like all the big guys copied like Dan Martell copied it blah blah blah and then I copied it and then people think I'm the original. I'm like no it was like some dude three years ago.
That's awesome. Yeah. I like I asked my mom. That was a sponsored video by Arcad and I was like, "Dude, I got to put something." Yes. Anyways, so as an example, let's just say like this is short, so it's a little different. Let's see where's your Yeah. Anyway, let's just do this. But then it's reading the title pattern and thumbnail and hook and but then you don't want to copy exactly what he's talking about. If Nate said, "Let's talk about the difference between cloud code and open AI codeex." You don't want to say the exactly the same thing, right? But you want to create your own version. So you're personalizing it uh from putting your personal bulletprint, which is case I have it over here. And it also gives you what is the best outlier video. And then if you want to just copy this format, then you're going to generate your own version. And after generating your own version, it will give you specifically um like the title and different hook. So this is what I found out in the past experience from being a content creator is the hook is the most important part right the packaging.
Oh definitely.
Even Horoszi says spend 75% of time on the hook. Um, although I didn't know thumbnails existed on YouTube for the first six months on YouTube. So that was that was not great. Um, but as soon as I started doing thumbnails I noticed I got more views. Look at that.
Yes. Um, the hook I always did. Hey guys, welcome to channel. My name's Sandy. You know, like just heart heart, whatever. You know, it's such a way to do it. But now I learned, you know what? This is what people do. And I think in fact, I think you do it right now too. And Nate does this too, which is the pattern interrupt. Like you know what?
Like basically interrupting the pattern. It's like companies like Chachi just launched this blah, you know, like just kind of boom.
Especially on short form. Yeah. because you're just like a video randomly popping up in their feed. You know, you have to like stop what whatever cat video they were just looking at to watch your educational video.
Exactly. That That's why they always do that. I mean, after watching like the dance video, cat video, whatever, they gota you got to have a good hook. So, um, and people can copy hook. I mean, I recommend copying hook for sure. That's the most important part to create your like grow your content. And then what do they talk about? Like a lot of YouTubers, they talk about, oh, you know what? Um, you're the mirroring the viewers. If English is not your native language, blah blah blah. And you know, like if whatever your ideal customer person is, this is tailored towards that. And then you're revealing the opportunity. If you stay until the end of the video, I'll show you exactly how you do this, right? And but if you don't do this, you're gonna
Oh, that's a good one. I need to say I need to add that to my skills.
That's exactly That's what people do. Yeah, definitely do it. And then but then you know what people also do? They're like, "Oh, if you don't know who I am, I build my channel to 550K or like I think Nate does, you know, if you don't know who I am, I have a school community that has like 300K." You know, like just you're building your authority after that, right? And then transition. So that's what this does. I The reason why I made this is so that everything can be in one place. You can generate the thumbnail as well. Um, but again, I'm copying the format of what he has and then you're generating the thumbnail and it also has a teleprompter that you can use so that whenever the especially first- timer you got to read a script right so you can read the script and then record right away um, you can also let's see you can also have a screen share so I do that a lot where I screen share and then I teach everything to people and you can customize this part obviously But long story short, I made this app for myself and then I realized a lot of people want to use this. So I start charging people and I made $2,000 uh of this ma of this app just this month.
Okay.
Yeah.
So So just to recap, guys, Sandy has a full-time job and is raising three kids. And on the side, she's also doing AI consulting for AI SEO that brought in 5.5K. She's grown her YouTube channel from essentially zero to now over 30,000 in just a few months. Okay. And she's done multiple sponsorship collaboration deals, paying anywhere from 3.5 to it sounds like 5.5K. U and then she's also built an app, this app to help you find outlier YouTube videos where you can kind of copy the formats and the inspiration. And that also generated 2K per month. And it's just the beginning. I'm sure it's going to grow significantly more. Um, and she's doing all of this on the side with no technical background, no prior experience in AI, raising three kids with a full-time job. Did I miss anything?
You like really, you're better than Chachi Pik. I got to say like, you're the ultimate compliment.
That cla Let's just say that. That's awesome. I love it. Yeah, that's that's exactly what it is. The 1K is coming from YouTube AdSense, which it's like, oh, just YouTube AdSense. It's not a lot. Um, yeah. So, 23K is coming from sponsorships just this month. And 5.5K from client, 10K from full-time job, 2K from the app, 1K from YouTube, and also 6.2K from I just barely launched my school community as well um for like private memberships. But it's pretty interesting because when I first launched it, I just had a feeling that I need to just do it. It's like just do it, Sandy. And I did it. I had nothing. But people started joining. I'm like, "Oh, shoot. You know what? I have no content. I have nothing in here." And people thought it was a scam. They're like, "Sandy, how come there's nothing in here? I'm working on it. I promise."
I just I love this general philosophy of how you just do it and then kind of like backfill in the rest later because there's demand. People are join like people want it. They're paying for it. So now you can, you know, you can happily spend your time creating this content instead of like the way you did it the first time of like creating a lot of content but then struggling to monetize it. You've like totally flipped the model.
Yes, I did totally flip the model. I had a huge imposttor syndrome um since the beginning because I'm not the AI expert. I've just basically use claw code like how do I do that? Um, but the one thing that I am good at, I'm good at listening to people. Like listening to the need of what they have and I genuinely love helping people like it sounds so cheesy but I really do. I feel my I gain my energy whenever I give feedback to people and that's why the community
Yeah. It's just like it just gives me some such a fulfillment whenever I do that. So um the but then I couldn't do it oneonone because that's not scalable meaning I can't help as many people as possible. So that's why and then if I had a free community then everybody will just jump in and ask a lot of questions. I can't really uh find those people who are serious if that makes sense. So that's why I charge less for the community like kind of low ticket and then just be like hey whoever's serious. Also people need to commit some to some degree for them to get started. At least that's how I was. Well, what's so crazy
I was going to say, yeah, what's so crazy is I made a video uh and it was a live stream talking about nine different ways to make money with AI and you've like done four of them
with no background in AI, right? Like you did AI consulting, right? You did AI education and did sponsorships and collaborations. You built a product that's revenue generating and and now you have a paid community. Four, guys, she did four out of nine while working a full-time job and raising three kids. Okay. I need So please, please, please don't tell me your excuses.
Yeah. It's so possible. I'm like, when people ask me, I'm like, "If I can do it, you can do it." I'm like, "It was nothing." Which is Yeah.
Yeah. I find for most There's a really big psychology block like, "Ah, this this won't work. This is another scam." Like, you know, the information economy is kind of getting a bad rep for like uh this get-richqu scheme that get this get-richqu scheme. But I'm trying to communicate to people like people are spending a ton of money on AI and it's a massive opportunity right now and we are in like a little bubble talking to AI about each other but there's like billions of people out there who don't know all the things that we take for granted and that's why there's a huge opportunity to educate others or build products that can help others and the but the opportunity is like here right right now guys, it's not saturated at all. It's not too late. Even if you don't have a technical background, even if you don't think you can do this, like you you truly can, but it's still hard work, right? Like Sandy clearly put in the hours. Um, so don't expect results if you're not putting in the work. But, you know, it's definitely possible. I just love that you crossed off four out of nine income streams from all the ways that
Thank you. And this time I didn't wait cuz I just like you said Sabrina the opportunity is right now and I know if I waited a little longer I would have regretted that I didn't start and I hate regretting part of me not starting because I've done that multiple times in the past.
So
yeah I absolutely love that and and then there's a statistics that I because I love numbers uh majoring in political science right but there's a statistics that talks about 82% of the people right now in the world they haven't used AI. Isn't that crazy? They know AI but they haven't used it.
And the only few percentage they use chatbt and claude right or perplexity ask questions. And out of that few people only few people know how to actually use cloud code or cloud homework
like less than two people of the world. So like Sabrina said opportunities right now and I'm not exaggerating it
but you have to put effort into it. There were days that I couldn't really sleep more than three hours a day because I I was busy learning, executing, and yeah,
let's dive into that just a little bit. Like there's so much information out there. Like you guys are watching this YouTube, there's a billion other YouTubes, there's a billion other AI influencers. Like what made the difference for you to be able to like actually absorb that knowledge and take action with it? Uh was it certain influencers? Was it listening to less influencers? It's like what what was the secret to go from passively consuming all of these AI influencers telling you to do this, do that, check out this tool, check out that tool, into like actually doing something meaningful with it because I know a lot of people are just drowning in overwhelm like oh my gosh, all these influencers are telling me to like do this and do that, do that. It's really stressful.
Yeah, I know it's it is stressful because even now I get stressed out like this influencers are telling me this update you got to know her the Hermes Yeah, I
keep pronouncing it like Hermes, like the bag. I'm like, "No, I don't
Hermes."
No, I speak Spanish, so like my Spanish kicks in whenever I say it. It should be hit a mess. But in my opinion, I don't know why. Anyways, like, hey, I'm agent or or her music agent, open club, blah blah blah. I got really stressed out when I was chasing the trend game. It's like, you got to learn this and that. And then that is the fastest way of you not executing.
Mhm.
So one of the fastest way I think you said that in one of the videos to Sabrina I watched it and you said just you just you got to do it. You got to execute and then actually see the result and you learn afterwards and that really got me going a lot and also I had I paid a consultant for my business as well and then once I invest money into it I'm like dude I got to take something out of it because I invest $4,000 into it. So, it's just like more of a you got to you got to be more dedicated and set the right goal, not the goal of I'm going to make 100k right away, you know, like your goal has to be realistic towards the beginning and then create a system around that instead of just creating the goal. Like you have to have a very specific systems that will generate or make you move. And one of the ways that for how I did it is I forced myself. I forced myself to do it after people pay me. It's like, dude, now I gotta create content. Like this sponsorship is like, yeah, I got like six sponsorships, dude. I got to actually create content. That's how I did it.
Yeah, I love that. So, like really just jumping in and once something start you feel the pressure to actually, okay, now I got to get it done. And also, we talked about before the podcast started, but the importance of having a system. Like a lot of people are surprised, but like my only goal for the longest time was to make one piece of content per day. Like that was it. Like that was my only goal. And if I did that, I was very happy. Obviously, I produce a lot more content than that now. But like to in order to not stress myself out, I really just focused on that. Didn't look at analytics. Didn't care that much about performance. If you look at my YouTube for about the first eight months, I also just talked about random topics I thought were interesting. Like I was like, "Oh, can chat GPT remake this picture of my docs." I was like, "Let's let's try five different prompts to do that." It's like completely just random. Me too.
I know. So fun. I love that. Um, that's what that's exactly what I did too. Like for my daughters like okay let's make a princess out of this, you know, like Google flow and then for my son is like let's make let's turn Shrek into this like poop monster but that's what he wanted to do honestly but it's like such a random stuff that I I had no idea what what I was doing but it gets clearer. Is that a word? Clearer. It's like it gets more clear. Yeah, clearer. It's such a hard to pronounce. Okay. it gets more clear to after you execute. I really believe in that. If you actually publish content and put something, your path is going to be more clear after instead of you just trying to figure it out because it takes forever.
Yeah,
100%. Like I I don't know, a lot of people are like, "Well, Sabrina, why don't you teach people to make like content pillars and like all of this stuff and create a 90-day content plan?" And I'm like, well, because that's overwhelming and obvious. And they also don't know what they want to talk about until they start talking about it, right? Like it just takes time, but you have to be consistent and continue. Uh most people quit, right? So that's always the tough problem. Um, yeah, I'd love to close out like specifically speaking to moms out there who are working a full-time job. like what would be your personal heart-to-heart advice for other moms out there who are excited about this opportunity but just you know stressed you know they have very little time um everybody's trying to sell them something what would you say to moms out there
I tell everybody it's one step at a time thing it's not a sprint right it's a long game meaning if you're better than who you were yesterday you did a great job and you have to know that it's very easy for us to get overwhelmed and keep thinking about just the goal and then just realizing how far we are from the goal. And that's the fastest way to give up. But if you realize you are one step ahead compared to who you were yesterday, that's just success. We call that success. And just don't give up. Continue to do it. And um the best one of the best way just put yourself out there. Yeah.
Awesome. Thank you so much for being here. It was great to chat.
Yeah, thank you, Sabrina.
