My name is Michael!

I'm an 18 y/o uni student who is also making a lot of money on the side of my degree.

I am currently trying to make more and always have been since I was about 12. I have gone through a lot of different methods to make money and in the upcoming years I hope to make a lot more.

My Journey

13-15: At the age of 13 I was buying game keys in bulk and selling them off for a profit on websites such as Fiverr, eBay and Gumtree. This made me around 20-40$ a day.

I also sold fizzy drinks and sweets(candy) at school. This made me around £15 pound a day.

15-16: I started buying materials to make bracelets online, I would then sell these at my school's office, eBay, and a few dedicated websites. I sold enough products to make my money back for the materials but it was a failed venture and I have learned my lesson.

16-18: I built a SEO and Web Design website where I would outsource all the work and make a tidy profit. I made approximately £23,000 in the first 7 months, I started to see a decline in the quility of work my outsources were doing and I could not keep up with my competitors so I had to close up shop.

Now with my initial capital I have invested that into some clothes online in wholesale which I am selling online through social media and my website.

I am hoping to learn a lot from more experienced members of this website!

Thanks man! It is a long road which you can't plan!

We'll both have to figure out our own contingencies when we get to them!

Good luck buddy!
