A 23 year old is earning 6 figures per month making slime videos.

Yes, you read that right, slime videos.

Karina Garcia is a 23 year old entrepreneur who is making hundreds of thousands of dollars per month from her slime tutiorals on YouTube.

How does this happen?

Well, just a few short years ago Karina Garcia was heading nowhere. She dropped out of college and had no job to speak of.

She had no direction in life and described herself as the definition of lazy.

Then one day she noticed her sister making videos on YouTube. The videos focused primarily on beauty products and Karina thought she would like to start making some videos herself.

She first started with beauty products herself but quickly decided to go her own route. 

She then started to focus her videos on things she enjoyed doing. Mostly on DIY projects that she created herself.

Then she found a recipe on Pinterest to make a slime called Gak, and things really started to take off for her vlog.

Why Slime?

Karina said that she has noticed creating and playing with slime has become a stress reliever of sorts for people.

There has been a huge increase in slime's popularity just over the past couple years.

In fact, Elmer's Glue (a key ingredient in slime) said that they saw a 50% increase in sales in the month of December of 2016, mostly due to this recent surge in DIY slime making.

The younger generation absolutely loves DIY projects, especially ones they can make cheaply at home. 

According to Sweety High (a social site for young girls), DIY focused vlogs and blogs tend to get much more traffic than just about any other tag currently.

How does she make so much money?

Karina makes most of her revenue from advertisers on her YouTube channel. She has 6.7 million subscribers currently and that number seems to grow by the hour.

She tends to focus on anything involving slime.

These videos are not just thrown together at the last second though, she says they take her roughly 5-6 hours per video to get it edited and ready to post.

Here is an example of one of her videos:

She also just recently launched a craft line for kids at Target called Craft City.

Karina's plan is to gradually branch out from just slime to other areas such as bath bombs and lipstick kits in the near future. 

Karina said that she recently just bought a house with "slime money".

Not a doll house, but a legitimate house for her to live in.

She said her and her mom laugh about it because of how much money she has been able to generate from slime.

I can attest first hand that slime is definitely in right now.

My niece has been making YouTube videos creating slime for months now and even selling the slime to kids at school. The endeavor has been decently profitable for her 11 year old self.

I had no idea where she got the idea from, but now I know.

The overall message that Karina wants to get out there to other people is that if she can do it, literally anyone can do it.

She dropped out of school, had no job, and just started filming herself making crafts and now she is buying houses with that money.

What a great world we live in.

Stay informed my friends.
