<div class="bbWrapper">Hey guys, my name is Aubrey and I am a 26 year old based in Dallas, Texas. I wasn’t going to create a progress thread about this because I have a thread I recently commented on in the Insiders section and I didn’t want to duplicate the info – but after thinking about it I decided I would create a new progress thread on the outside documenting my newest venture – creating a YouTube channel and a YouTube community.<br />
<br />
I have been a part of this forum since I was 20 years old – over the years I have made dozens of threads talking about ideas I had, ventures I wanted to pursue, dreams I had…etc.<br />
<br />
I’ve learned an absolute ton over the last 6 years, and have had some good times and some really bad times as well.<br />
<br />
I will give you the summary here:<br />
<br />
In high school, I made $100k in the stock market by investing in American Airlines stock during their bankruptcy. I then used that money to buy a franchise at 21 years old – when I bought my franchise I was featured in news outlets like Entrepreneur.com, CNBC, Franchise Times..etc.<br />
<br />
When I was 25 (November 2018) the franchise ended up closing due to a fire and I decided not to reopen. I then had to figure out what the hell I was going to do for the rest of my life.<br />
<br />
Before the fire, I had started working with a franchise-consulting firm and I had a few cars on the car rental app Turo – but those two ventures alone weren’t enough to go off of for a life plan.<br />
<br />
I had purchased <a href="https://www.thefastlaneforum.com/community/members/23590/" class="username" data-xf-init="member-tooltip" data-user-id="23590" data-username="@Andy Black">@Andy Black</a> AdWords course a while earlier, so I used what I had learned about Google Advertising and my past experience with Facebook Marketing and I started doing freelance digital marketing - which I had success with!<br />
<br />
So, in 2019 I went from losing my business before the beginning of the year to using digital marketing and consulting as a way to fund my Turo business – by the end of 2019, I had 10 cars on the Turo platform. Between Turo, Consulting, and Freelancing for the first time in my life I was able to make over $100,000 in one year which was huge for me.<br />
<br />
Now, I have decided to narrow my focus on projects that I want to pursue and ones I feel like could have some long-term potential.<br />
<br />
As I write this I am still doing consulting, and I have 12 active cars on the Turo platform – But, I stopped freelancing in order to focus on Youtube, Turo, and Consulting only.<br />
<br />
My goal is to create a YouTube channel surrounding what I have learned over the last 6 years as well as take the subscribers along with me as I grow. I want to get into real estate, expand my investment portfolio and grow my Turo fleet to 20+ cars and I want the channel to follow that journey.<br />
<br />
So, this thread will be a place where I will track my subscriber growth, talk about what I am doing and of course listen to feedback from y’all.<br />
<br />
<b>Currently, I have been making videos since January 2020 and I have 195 subs. The goal is to get to 500 subscribers by the end of Q2 of this year.</b><br />
<br />
