I became a millionaire in my 30s.

When I started I was $86,000 in debt, had $0 in the bank, and never received an inheritance.

If I had to do it all over, here's what I would do: 1) I'd track and budget my money.

If you have no idea where your money is going and what it is doing, you CANNOT take control of it.

I've used @ynab and think it's an amazing tool, but use whatever you like best.

I've been making YouTube videos since 2015.

My first channel hit 160K subs and over 80M views.

My second channel just turned 3 years old and last year it made $258,418

Here are the 10 things I wish I knew when I was just getting started: 1) YouTube isn't easy and YouTubers don't "just make videos in their bedroom"

Like all things worthwhile in life, it takes work.

If you think you are just going to record a quick video of yourself with zero planning, throw it up online and get a bunch of views... you are wrong.

I went from $86,000 in debt and $0 in the bank to over $1,500,000 in 8 years.

If I had to do it all over, here's what I would do: First of all, you have to want to make the change.

This isn't strong enough:

"It would be nice to be on top of my finances!"

I had to feel this:

"I can't stand this anymore, I have to do something about my situation"

At 29, I was $86K in debt, lived paycheck to paycheck, and felt lost in life.

At 36 I found satisfaction in life and I became a millionaire.

Here are 20 things I WISH I knew in my 20s: 1) If I can do it, you can too.

I realized that if others could do it, so could I.

Like Steve Jobs said:

"Everything around you that you call life was made up by people that were no smarter than you and you can change it.

Once you learn that, you'll never be the same again."

In July I've made $38,429 or $1,239 a day so far with crypto passive income even in this bear market.

Here are all my sources that make $500 a month or more.

//Thread// Presearch Nodes - $583/month

40 @presearchnews Nodes - 80,000 PRE Tokens Total ($7.2K)

Hosting costs - $75-100/month

How a janitor amassed an $8,000,000 fortune.

Time for a thread 👇👇👇 In the little town of Brattleboro, Vermont.

There was a modest and simple man named Ronald Read.

Though the legacy he left behind wasn't so modest or simple.

I'm 37 today.

Here are 37 lessons I've learned about life and wealth.

(and becoming a millionaire in my 30s)

//THREAD// 1) Everyone around you is playing short-term games.

If you can think long-term, you will win.

No question about it.

My tiny 10k subscriber YouTube channel made $11,085 last month.

I have videos with less than 20K views that make me $100+ a day.

Every day you delay starting YouTube is costing you $1000s in passive income.

Here's why.

//THREAD// Everyone loves to focus on Twitter, Instagram, TikTok, etc.

But they ignore YouTube. They watch, but they don't create.

BIG mistake!

My YouTube channel has made me $46,456 in the past 9 months.

Yet I only have 10K subscribers. How did I do that??

// THREAD // Quick background:

I started my YouTube channel, Your Friend Andy, in June of 2020.

It took me 6 months to hit 1,000 subscribers.

In that first 6 months, I made ZERO dollars.

Now, 80 vids later, I have 10K subs, nearly 500K views, and have made $46K

And I've made 68 videos

How you can get FILTHY RICH from the upcoming Crypto CRASH

(how I became a millionaire with crypto)

// THREAD // With crypto, you should not be asking, "will it crash?" That's an inevitable yes.

The question you should ask yourself is, "how do I make as much money as possible WHEN it does crash?"

That's what we're going to talk about.

10 daily habits that will absolutely change your life

(and that have changed mine)

// THREAD // For better or worse, habits shape who we are. They affect how we behave, how productive we are, and our chances of success.

Habits can be good or bad. And sometimes our habits are things we didn't even realize we picked up.

How to blow up on Twitter & get to 1,000 followers FAST

(How I went from 0 to 10k followers in 5 months)

// THREAD // In Nov 2020 I tweeted a few of my Youtube videos out into the void with 0 results. So I didn't take Twitter seriously.

In January of 2021 I thought I would try again, but take a different approach. I would approach Twitter like I did Youtube. Systematically.

Stop throwing your money away. Here's how to avoid paying taxes on Crypto.

// THREAD // Whether you’re buying crypto, trading it, mining it, or getting paid in it, sooner or later, you’re gonna have to pay taxes on it.

The question is, how much do you have to pay, and are there ways to reduce your tax burden?

My YouTube channel has made me $17,922 in the past 6 months.

Yet I only have 5,500 subscribers. How did I do that??

// THREAD // Some quick stats:

I posted my first video on June 9, 2020.

In the past year, I have made 52 videos.

I have gained 5,500 subscribers and 237,000 views in total.

Bitcoin CRASHED from $50k to $30k last week thanks to Elon Musk and China.

What happened? Should you be scared? What should you do next?

// THREAD // If you look at the charts on Coinbase for last week, you'll see that Bitcoin dropped all the way down to $30,000 on May 19.

Ethereum dropped to $1,860

And even the mighty $DOGE dropped to $0.22

Crypto is down across the board. WHY?

How I turned $1,000 into $140,000 with crypto mining.

// THREAD // I have been dabbling in cryptocurrency since 2014.

I never took it seriously until 2017.

The crypto craze FOMO of 2017 swallowed me up and then taught me some valuable lessons.

Meet the $9,000,000 Secretary

Time for a thread 👇👇👇 Slyvia Bloom was a legal secretary for the same New York City law firm for 67yrs.

Every day while she headed to work, you'd find her on the subway.

She didn't live in a fancy New York apartment (though she could have).

She lived in a modest rent-controlled apartment instead.

30 Lessons from someone who became a millionaire in their 30s

(After starting $86k in debt at 29).

// THREAD // 1. Everyone wants to be a millionaire in their 20s/30s.

Very few are willing to do what it takes to get there.

"Success is no accident. It is hard work, perseverance, learning, studying, sacrifice and most of all, love of what you are doing or learning to do." - Pele

This video I made on YouTube only has 2,529 views.

Yet it made me over $3,000.

How is that possible? Can you do that too?

Time for a thread 👇👇👇 There are lots of great strategies you can use when you have a small YouTube channel.

Two of my favorites are:

1) Finding search results with low competition, but high traffic and making a video

2) Making a video about something immediately relevant or in the news

#Bitcoin made me a millionaire.

Is it too late to invest?

Time for a thread 👇👇👇 I first heard about Bitcoin back in 2012 or 2013 on a technology forum I belonged to.

It sounded silly to me (I was an idiot at that time) and I completely dismissed it.

When I heard about it again in 2016, for some reason I didn't dismiss it and I bought a tiny amount.
