I've created over
300 different kinds of slimes.
I make around 10 gallons of slime a day.
Since I've started, I've sold
around 100,000 slimes in total.
I ship it all over the world.
When I told my parents I wanted to
start a slime business, they thought
I was crazy, and they said no,
but I did anyways.
Typical.
Today we're making a white glue
floam slime, which is a super
crunchy and colourful slime
that makes amazing bubble pops and crunches.
We're going to be making two gallons
of slime, so I have to use
two gallons of glue.
Then you pick out your scents, your colours, and
then you add your activator.
Today, I'm feeling like a
blue cotton candy type of scent.
Each week we spend around $800
on supplies, which is like glue,
scents, clay, sprinkles.
In some of my slimes, we have secret
ingredients, but I can't show you
those today.
I work every single day,
all seven days a week.
I try to take breaks, but it's really hard.
Once your slime is formed, you can add
a bunch of add-ins.
There's sprinkles, charms,
foam beads like we're using today.
You can honestly do anything.
The possibilities are endless.
Sometimes I'll get an idea in the
middle of the night and I just like
wake up out of my sleep and I'm like,
I have to make this slime.
This is one.
You can definitely tell that I wrote it in
my sleep because it didn't make any sense.
Each batch of slime makes around
50 to 100 jars,
depending on how big the batch is.
If you get slime in your hair,
you can just use hot water.
It'll melt right back into glue.
Learned that the hard way.
I sell around a
and each slime is priced
at around $12 to $16.
My favourite slime personally is
Cereal Milk.
It's been selling out every single week.
I love making slime.
I love playing with the big batches.
Now that we made our slime, it's time to make
an ASMR video with it,
because that's what my followers love.
ASMR is short for
Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response,
and it is basically the
sensation that some people get
when they watch slime videos.
They find it stress relieving and
anxiety relieving.
I know that I find it very satisfying.
I like to make sure there's a good
variety of noises.
So I want to make sure there's
pokes, there's bubble pops
and there's crunches.
This is a crunch.
My business really started to take off back
in 2017 when I started my YouTube channel,
the most views
I've ever gotten on a video was,
I think seven million and it was on Tik Tok.
Making these ASMR videos is
basically like marketing because
you're showing the product before
people buy it, so they basically
know what they're going to get.
I do not really like slime,
but I have a few ones that
I don't mind touching.
Pretty much everybody in this family
gets stuck in the slime business
except for my brother,
he somehow stayed out of it
He's dodged it.
As a child, I was very entrepreneurial.
I first heard about slime when I was browsing through
Instagram back in 2016.
One day I was
going to Target with my mom and we
found this blue glitter glue.
And that night I came home and made
slime with it and I ended up posting
it to Instagram.
My first sale was to one of my friends,
but I don't think he ever paid me.
So
if he's watching this,
you owe me like four bucks.
It's time to post it to my Instagram
to get people excited.
I work super hard on my social media profiles.
I have six hundred thousand followers
on Instagram.
We just got an order for
Cotton Candy Skies.
I sell some of my merch on my website.
I sell hoodies and phone cases
and facemasks and socks and t-shirts.
I definitely earn more from slime than merch.
Someone bought it and they posted it.
The quickest I've ever sold out
during a re-stock was only one minute.
That was back in 2018.
In the future, I would love to open
up my own slime warehouse, where I
can have people come into
the warehouse and buy slimes in person.
I feel so grateful to be
able to run a business at 17.
I love the fact that I'm earning money
from something that brings people joy.
