are you looking for ways to earn some
extra income this year
if you are into succulents like me i
want you to know that this hubby can
become one of your income sources
and it is never too late to start this
year
if you have even just a small desire to
do some side hustle and earn some extra
income then you should pay attention
because what i'm going to share with you
today can be beneficial to you
there is money in growing succulents
and there are multiple ways to earn
extra income from this hobby
so in this video i'm going to share with
you 13 ways to make money with
succulents
the reason why i'm inspired to share all
these tips with you is that i came
across a post on facebook by jogi
in this post
he shared how he earned 64 000 pesos or
more than 1 200
in 10 minutes
selling succulents at the live auction
and he wrote that you can make money
from what you love doing
selling at the live auction is just one
way of earning money with succulents
there are multiple ways you can generate
income from your socket and hobby
most of these income generating ideas do
not need you to invest a lot of money
if you've been growing stockings for a
while now you can even start from what
you already have in your garden or just
add a few inventories and you are good
to go
number one
you can buy and sell succulents
so if you live in places where you have
access to a lot of nurseries growing
succulents
you should take advantage of that
opportunity
in california especially in l.a or san
diego succulents are cheaper compared to
other states
also succulent choices are limited in
other places so there would be people
who would want to buy from you
a lot of succulent enthusiasts prefer to
buy from backyard gardeners because the
prices are much lower
this is because unlike nurseries
backyard growers do not have a lot of
overhead expenses
they do not pay to rent a space or spend
salary for staff
now if you are new what if nobody buys
from you at first
well it is still going to be a win-win
situation for you because as the plant
grows and matures the price also goes up
succulents value increases the longer
you keep it because the plant will grow
bigger and may even give you more babies
so if visiting nurseries is one of your
hobbies
buying and selling succulents can become
one of your income sources
the next time you visit a nursery why
not try to look for plants that you can
resell so you can earn an extra income
from them
the more unique or rare they are the
better the price
someday instead of spending your own
money buying succulents to grow your
collection you can finance your hubby
and also earn an extra on the side
number two
you can plant succulent cuttings and
sell rooted succulents at the higher
price after two to three months
stable and well rooted succulents are
priced more compared to cuttings
so if your intention is to earn by
planting and selling rooted succulents
be smart when you shop
select matured succulent plants with
many branches or offsets
you can double or even triple your money
that way
another way is to buy succulent cutting
packages
offering multiple species in one set
for example on our website we sell a
pack of 120 pieces of succulents for 100
that comes down to only 83 cents each
in some areas a small pot of succulent
nowadays can cost close to five dollars
plus tax
so this 83 cents cutting can make you
earn four times in two to three months
and the bigger and more colorful or
beautiful the plant grows the higher you
can price them
if you're new to succulents and if you
need help on how to plant succulents
from cuttings check out my youtube video
on the topic the link is in the
description below
number three you can sell cuttings and
leaves
that's what's amazing about the
succulent plant
you can sell different parts of it
because of the plant's water storing
ability it won't wilt for days after
trimming
so you can ship them and they will
remain gorgeous even after several days
inside a package
and if you can ship that means you have
a broader customer reach
more customers
more opportunity to sell
and just imagine this
if you have a lot of mother plants they
will keep on producing for you for free
and the more you trim the more they grow
so if you are selling the cuttings it's
like having a money making machine at
home
that's literally multiplying your money
while you sleep
number four create succulent
arrangements
another way of earning from this hobby
is by being creative
i enjoy creating arrangements because
this activity is very relaxing
and as they say if you enjoy what you do
it doesn't seem like work at all
this is also how my business started
whenever i complete an arrangement
before i would excitedly show my
finished projects on social media
this got people asking me whether i sell
them or not
when i started selling my stocking
arrangements i was introduced to more
ways of earning money from this hobby
and i was able to slowly build my
business
so if you love creating arrangements
this can be your chance to make extra
money doing what you love
with soccer arrangements you can charge
more because you are not only pricing
the plans but also including your
artistry as well
and the more you create
the more you'll learn how to improve or
evolve your style in no time you'll be a
pro
and if you think you do not have a
market for this
know that you can sell them all year
round they can also be given as gifts
for special occasions like birthdays
anniversaries or house warmings they can
be displayed as centerpieces during
holidays and can be used for special
events like weddings or showers
and nowadays it is easy to advertise
products
gone are the days when only those
companies with a large budget could
advertise
now you can enter online marketplaces
and sell your products without paying
for any ads
but of course to be seen you need to
catch people's attention
one way i get people's attention is by
showing healthy and beautiful succulents
i've noticed that the more colorful the
succulents are the more interested
people get
so if you intend to take your hobby to
another level step up your game and
learn how to grow colorful succulents
if you want to continue learning from me
and you are interested in consistently
achieving amazing results by growing
healthy and colorful succulents check
out my course on how to grow colorful
succulents
number five invest in imported korean
succulents
and let me tell you why
there are korean companies that can give
you deep discounts when you buy in bulk
if you buy more they waive the shipping
fee and they do offer international
shipping
so if you live outside the us and you do
not have access to a lot of succulents
like we do
this is one way of bringing in those
beautiful hybrids
it might require you to provide some
documents like an import permit and a
phyto sanitary permit but once you've
started on your first order it's going
to be smooth and it's really not that
difficult
korean succulents can attract more
buyers and you can price them way more
because they are rare
you will probably be the only ones
selling them in your location
number six conduct workshops
yes you can also earn by conducting
workshops
you can teach a group of people how to
create some projects provide them with
the materials they need and guide them
on how to be creative
you get to meet people with the same
interest as you and you get to earn and
enjoy at the same time
now these six money-making ideas i
mentioned will require you to do some
physical work
you need to buy the plants
grow them
create arrangements and maybe ship them
eventually as well
but there are more ways you can earn
money growing succulents without
constantly working
they are called passive incomes
in creating passive incomes you put in
some work initially
maybe you won't get paid right away but
as you grow your assets you'll get to
earn without constantly putting in the
effort in the future
let me show you the different ways of
earning passive income by growing
succulents and i hope you'll find one
that will work for you
so number seven
earn money blogging about succulents
so if you love to write you can start
blogging about succulents and if you
work with these plants it is easy to
create content and share what you know
about them
and as the number of your blog post
increases you get to grow your audience
and earn income from ads or affiliates
number eight
create a succulent youtube channel
you can take videos of your succulents
and upload them on youtube
you do not need to be an expert to start
a youtube channel
some people would be interested to learn
from you as a beginner
you can even share the mistakes you made
and your subscribers will thank you for
your honesty and for preventing them
from making the same errors
i've grown my subscribers to 84 000 over
5 years
of course it's way less compared to
those with millions of subscribers but
because of my youtube channel i was able
to scale my business and get paid
[Music]
although i still upload videos once a
week or sometimes twice a month i
consider it a passive income because i
still earn from the videos i made five
years ago
if you have even just a small spark of
interest to start a youtube channel i
advise you to go for it you have
everything to gain
start now and learn as you go
everyone started not knowing much as a
beginner you too will learn over time
and if you think that you need high-tech
or complicated gadgets to start a
channel you are wrong
you can start a youtube channel by using
only your phone and the free app that
comes with it even until now i still use
my iphone to record and upload my videos
to youtube
number nine
affiliate marketing
another passive income related to
succulents
is affiliate marketing
you can endorse other people's products
and earn a commission
initially it may not be a significant
amount but free money is still extra
money
and you do not need a huge following to
start affiliate marketing you can do
affiliate marketing even on facebook
but of course it is when you create more
blogs and youtube videos that you get to
earn more from affiliate marketing
[Music]
number 10
you can also earn money by drop shipping
products with succulent designs
like t-shirts iphone cases
blankets and thousands of products
for this one you will need some computer
skills to be able to design the items
this is a side hustle wherein you do not
need to put in money to manufacture
these products
instead all you need is a computer and a
program like photoshop or canva that
will allow you to create and customize
the item
you will need to upload the design and
sell it on your website or market places
like etsy
once an order is put in it will go
directly to the manufacturer and they
will create and ship the items for you
dropshipping is a great passive income
because once you create and upload the
designs you can start earning right away
without working additional hours
you might need to market the products to
get noticed but you can create thousands
of designs and who knows one of those
will attract more customers
[Music]
now as you progress in your socket and
journey you can do more for example
because i've been growing succulents for
several years
i've accumulated enough knowledge to
guide beginners and help them become
successful in their newfound venture
i was able to write a book about
succulent care and also created the
audiobook version of it
the book is now being sold by amazon and
other print on-demand companies and it
is also available worldwide
was i good at writing in the beginning
i wasn't it was a struggle for me to put
it together
it took me a year to finish the book
but i did what i could to fulfill my
goal
and now
i get paid without having to touch it
the same thing with the audiobook i
recorded one time
submitted it and i do not need to do
anything after that except of course
market it to my audience and still
receive something from it
number 12
another way of earning passive income is
by creating online courses
this is where you put together
everything someone needs to learn about
a certain topic and deliver it online
so after a while
your knowledge and experience may allow
you to teach others
you can package your content and create
a course
this is something a little bit more
advanced but who knows you too can
achieve it someday
[Music]
and lastly number 13
my favorite of all
is selling succulent related items or
tools on huge marketplaces like amazon
so there is what they call amazon fba or
fulfillment by amazon
this is where you have the product
manufactured and shipped to amazon
warehouse
if a customer orders online it will not
go to you it will go directly to amazon
and they will handle everything for you
from packing shipping and customer
service
you can then run this business even
though you are outside the us
isn't that cool
i have tried and done all these 13
things i've mentioned to you and all of
them can bring an extra money each month
guys when i shifted my mindset from
being a happiest to an entrepreneur
that's when my life really changed
