Skylar Cunningham is a graphic designer, entrepreneur, videographer, and a college student. She has two businesses:

1. SkylarGrace Co.
2. Skylar Cunningham Videography 

In April 2020, she started SkylarGrace Co. but at the start, she started an Instagram page where she would publish her graphic design creations. In fact, in order to make a little money, she would turn people's photos into digital art.

Skylar decided to start an Etsy shop because she was doing really well on Instagram. Creating and selling stickers on Etsy was another product she decided to work on.

As she started to expand, she decided to make her own official online shop to add more new designs and products. One of the key reasons why she started to scale up so fast was because of Tik Tok.

Some of her Tik Tok videos went viral! Soon afterward, her following rapidly increased and so were her orders on her shop!

Having being exposed to different environments, Fade has been able to use different ingredients of music and hone them into his own style.

Who remembers the huge cryptocurrency hype back in 2017? So many people were pouring in money to try to 5X or even 10X their initial investment. To be fair a lot of people got rich overnight, but the majority of people lost. 

Camilo Vasquez was fixed on the crazy cryptocurrency opportunity in 2017 that he decided to invest $1,000. He explained how he did his due diligence in picking out his coins, but he was still very inexperienced and foolish to dive in right away.

Looking back he thinks he would have been better off he put his money in a Roth IRA. The investment is a long-term one and definitely a more conservative move.

• Get licensing to make and sell cosmetics products
• Work on the marketing and branding of the business
• Making cosmetics products such as her popular lip gloss

Being the face of the brand, she was able to obtain a large fan base through Tik Tok. People love to see how she makes her lip gloss products, packages her products, and ships them out to her happy customers :)

The authenticity of her brand has allowed her to help other aspiring entrepreneurs achieve the level of success she has. Monica hosts virtual meetings that help people make their own income.

Jesus Corona came from humble beginnings as he and his family moved from Mexico to the US. His parents believed in the "American Dream" so that their son, Jesus, can receive a proper education and start a respectable career. However, Jesus had more ambitious ideas of his own.

In elementary school, Jesus had some entrepreneurship DNA as he sold candy to his classmates. Another business venture that he tackled as he got older was dropshipping where he was able to scale his business to $10,000/month in profits. Unfortunately, things got very tricky with dropshipping so he had the opportunity to dive into Tik Tok later on.

After dabbling with Tik Tok for 3-4 months he was getting millions of views and hundreds of thousands of followers! One day he decided to message a very successful entrepreneur who he knew very well to help him start and grow his very own Tik Tok account for free. The result? The very first video that Jesus helped him make had 10 million views! Jesus was on to something!

Helping people grow on Tik Tok and monetize it is what Jesus specializes in. He has multiple clients and students where he provides the expertise to help them grow and make money off their respective accounts.
