MONEY

Iam from Kerala.
I didn’t come from a rich family. In fact, not a single relative of mine has ever run a successful busines.
But even without a blueprint to follow, I was obsessed with the idea of online income.
I started early at 14 — launching a YouTube channel in 2019. I uploaded 231 videos, and eventually, the channel got monetized.

I’ll never forget the morning I woke up to a video that had crossed 1 lakh views. I was making ₹5–₹25 per day ($0.06–$0.30), and by 16, I had earned ₹5,000 ($60). To me, that was huge — no one around me had ever made that kind of money online.

But the reality hit soon. ₹50 a day ($0.60) from YouTube wasn’t going to cut it. Even part-time jobs paid 10x more.
So during the COVID lockdowns, I began exploring the world of online business.
I paid ₹1,299 ($15.60) for a Print-on-Demand course — which felt like a huge risk at 17 — built a store, set up everything, and still got zero sales. I became more depressed than ever.and my page got only 9 followers. It was one of the lowest points in my journey.

After taking a break for my 10th exams (2021), I came back to online business in 2022 (when dropshipping was booming in India). I started selling winning products and made around 20K in sales per day. But sadly, from 20K per day, we only get like 2-3K profit after all the expenses like ads, product cost, RTO, and refunds. The sales didn’t last long. After 1 month, the market got saturated, so I shifted to another product. This continued, and then I realized that it's pretty hard to get a product that customers love. People were also scamming by selling "winning product lists" that everyone was already selling.

Then I shifted to selling NFTs, but I realized the market isn't guaranteed. Then selling 12 winning products throughout the year. nothing worked, Then finally into reselling iphones just using organic method.

(no ad expense ) and i understand instagram algorithm. and got some sales without spending money for ads. Gained 20k followers. and made over 50k profit, but still it took me 130days to make 50k. ( 380₹/ day avg ) Finally I figured out selling digital products. (10 months ago) (in both organic and market sales) At first, I was getting only 200₹-400₹ sales per day for the next 1 month. Then I tried different strategies and finally got some structured format for selling.

understanding market and taking right action, I implemented those strategies on my online store, instagram page and Facebook ads to maximize both organic and paid traffic . After that, I started making 7-15K every day for 5 months, and the profit margin was insane! I was getting 85-90% profit. That turned into an average of 10K daily consistent income. Then I shifted my focus more into organic sales to even maximize more margin. I created a faceless Instagram page that matches my niche (not how to make money or money related page). I started turning my followers into my customers. And I am so proud that I sold useful digital products to the right customers without scamming a single person and made over 19 lakhs total profit at the age of 19. In all my digital products, I put a guaranteed 7-day refund policy, and 99.5% of people never even asked for a refund. Rarely 1 in 100 sales resulted in a refund.

Made almost 100,000₹ in a single day through my instagram page (100% margin - because i spend nothing for ads) , and 350,000₹ in just 11 days (my all time top ).

If i am doing drop shipping : i need to close almost 10lakhs sale per day in order to obtain 1lakh gross profit. but i made 1 lakhs sale and 1 lakh profit. Just because i am selling digital product organically.

You will unlock extreme freedom compared to selling physical products. Since I am a student, I barely get time to do all this, but still, I made 19 lakhs profit.

And all I believe is, if you master a skill in a specific area (in my case, selling digital products through instagram), you can become a beast in that. At first, it will be hard, but gradually, you will learn many things throughout the journey.

I was a failure, but now I am making consistent income every day. And all because I learned the skills and strategies and implemented them perfectly in my digital product, online store, Instagram page, Facebook ads, and email marketing.

And I finally realized that knowledge is everything when it comes to starting an online business, whether from free or paid courses
