Hi guys, let me start another journey. I was busted on my last journey. I'm still doing freelancing for living in fiverr and making around 100 - 300 usd p/m, but it's so unstable and I hate doing this actually. But, I got no choice. I have to do this even while working on this journey.

So, here I'm starting another journey. Actually, I already started it around 2 months ago. But, just got time writing this and the reason why I made this is to getting a feedback from you guys. I saw so many awesome people here! Every time I feel like I'm about to quit, I just read things here and gets me motivated again and again. So, thank you for motivating me without knowing it!

My main goal: Earn $500+ (almost) passively and GET MARRIED NEXT YEAR!

Milestones:
[] $50
[] $100
[] $150
[] $250
[] $350
[] $500+

My strategy:
There are 2 ways that I already started for the past 2 months. They are YouTube and Instagram+Facebook. Yeah, they are old methods, but that's the only thing I wanna do.

1. Building 3 Instagram account manually.

First Acc (starting 1st June):
Followers: 5100

This one is my favorite. It grows like crazy. I don't even need to do f4f anymore.
I also created the facebook page + group about a month ago (1st July). They also grows like crazy. Already got 1000+ likes and around 800 group members.

Second acc (Turning old Acc)
Followers: 1770

Third Acc (Started 28th July)
Followers: 70

How do I monetize it?
I already launched teespring store with 8 designs uploaded already. The store niche is related to the first instagram account. I already have put the link on both Instagram and Facebook page. Got around 50 clicks since launched, but still ZERO sales. I'm not monetizing it everyday. I want to reach 10K followers at least.

For the last 2 accounts, I'm still unsure how to monetize them. Just want to track their growth first.

2. Making YouTube Videos
I don't really need to talk a lot about this since I don't really need any feedback. I'm not doing this intensely. I only make 1-2 videos per week. Sometimes 1 video per 2 week when I have a lot of order on fiverr. I'm making tutorial video using screen recorder and with my cheap microphone. lol. It's and evergreen content.

Videos: 10
Subscribers: 145

So, that's all I guess. I might can't update the thread like every day. But, I'll try to update it at least once a week. If you guys have any suggestions, I really appreciate it. I really do.

Other informations:
My ability:
Video editing, Motion graphics, Design.
My weakness:
- Can't work for a long time. Maybe 1-2 hours each session. And maybe 6-8 hours a day.
- Don't have a credit card (thing that always limited my ambition)

I do f4f for all of my account, especially at the beginning. Maybe until I reach around 2K+ followers. They should be real and engaged at least 20%. And then, I just focus on posting contents (reposting).

I make 2-3 posts per day with hashtag of course. Some going viral, some not.

But, there's one clue that I found how do I grow easily. The niche I picked is not that big. I can say that there are only around 20 big accounts on this niche and none of them hit 1M followers yet.

Another tips that works for me, I always keep at least 3 stories is running. I got most of my followers are from ig stories. I didn't put any hashtag on it. Sometimes I don't even write anything. lol. But,. make sure to turn on creator/business account so you can tell ig what your page is about. I can reach like 5K - 15K views. But, it's not happening all the time.

Note: The content should be good so people love to share it (sometimes).

are you using bot for F4F or not + How many follow people in day ?

as I mentioned on the title. I am doing it manually with a single phone. You can have 5 acc running in a single app.

I follow around 150 users right after posted something. 3 times a day. If the instagram limit my account. I'll do nothing but just posting for about 1-3 days.
 
I also just started with IG. Im not doing great but started somehow.

Good luck! You should do a little hashtag research. The best way to do so is find your competitor that just started too BUT they have a good engagement. It's hard to find one actually, but you should do. Just copy paste their hashtag and don't forget to make your own hashtag. You can also do f4f for their followers.

Forgot to mention that I already made 8 designs for the Print On Demand. I also have uploaded to Redbubble and Speadshirt. I got a couple order on fiverr so I don't have really much time to make new one. This week target is to make at least 15 designs in total.

No update for youtube.

I'm using teespring, redbubble, and spreadshirt. Not sure which one will work for me. I just focus on growing the instagram and facebook account first, and also working on the design. I don't want to advertise them too much at the moment.

I'm still busy working a couple projects that I received from fiverr. So, no new designs. And I don't really monetize the teespring store that much. I just put them on bio. I'll just let it be. Maybe, I'll make a shopify store once I reach 10K followers. Let me know what you think guys.
 
According to me, the most important thing in POD marketing journeys is PATIENCE. Never give up until you reach your goal!
 
UPDATE

It's been awhile. I kinda busy working on a couple projects I received from fiverr plus way too lazy to give an update. But yeah, I have to get back in the track.

I think the title is not gonna fit to this journey anymore. But, who cares. This journey, unexpected things always happening. So, I think I'm not gonna focus on Print On Demand anymore. It doesn't mean that I quit. I'm working on a lot of projects and make a design gets me stressed!

So, I'll make this more simple. I'll just focus on growing on all Social Accounts I have. 3 Instagram pages I have, 1 Facebook page, 1 Youtube Account (Just made new one since I can't make new video on my first channel due to some reasons). I know that's a lot! But I still don't which one will work for me. I'm going all out! Let's see what my cheap Laptop and smartphone can do.

Youtube Stats
Videos Uploaded: 4
Subscriber: 5

Nothing crazy yet. Just focus on creating more videos. But the other side, I've created new facebook page and twitter account for the channel. Already joined in a lot of related groups. So, every time I uploaded a new video, I will post on both social media.

MAIN GOAL: GET MARRIED NEXT YEAR!

MY EARNING GOALS (Passive):
[] $50 per month
[] $100 per month
[] $150 per month
[] $250 per month
[] $500 per month
[] $1000 per month

I know it's not gonna 100% passive.
 
I do quite a bit of pod. At this stage there is something wrong with either your product, pricing and/or social media accounts if you have not sold anything since you started 3 months ago!
