I've created over
[5]
300 different kinds of slimes.
[8]
I make around 10 gallons of slime a day.
[9]
Since I've started, I've sold
[11]
around 100,000 slimes in total.
[12]
I ship it all over the world.
[14]
When I told my parents I wanted to
[15]
start a slime business, they thought
[16]
I was crazy, and they said no,
[18]
but I did anyways.
[20]
Typical.
[21]
Today we're making a white glue
[23]
floam slime, which is a super
[24]
crunchy and colourful slime
[26]
that makes amazing bubble pops and crunches.
[28]
We're going to be making two gallons
[29]
of slime, so I have to use
[31]
two gallons of glue.
[33]
Then you pick out your scents, your colours, and
[35]
then you add your activator.
[36]
Today, I'm feeling like a
[37]
blue cotton candy type of scent.
[40]
Each week we spend around $800
[41]
on supplies, which is like glue,
[43]
scents, clay, sprinkles.
[46]
In some of my slimes, we have secret
[47]
ingredients, but I can't show you
[48]
those today.
[50]
I work every single day,
[51]
all seven days a week.
[53]
I try to take breaks, but it's really hard.
[56]
Once your slime is formed, you can add
[57]
a bunch of add-ins.
[58]
There's sprinkles, charms,
[60]
foam beads like we're using today.
[61]
You can honestly do anything.
[63]
The possibilities are endless.
[66]
Sometimes I'll get an idea in the
[67]
middle of the night and I just like
[68]
wake up out of my sleep and I'm like,
[70]
I have to make this slime.
[71]
This is one.
[73]
You can definitely tell that I wrote it in
[74]
my sleep because it didn't make any sense.
[76]
Each batch of slime makes around
[77]
50 to 100 jars,
[79]
depending on how big the batch is.
[81]
If you get slime in your hair,
[82]
you can just use hot water.
[83]
It'll melt right back into glue.
[85]
Learned that the hard way.
[88]
I sell around a
[90]
and each slime is priced
[92]
at around $12 to $16.
[95]
My favourite slime personally is
[96]
Cereal Milk.
[97]
It's been selling out every single week.
[99]
I love making slime.
[100]
I love playing with the big batches.
[104]
Now that we made our slime, it's time to make
[105]
an ASMR video with it,
[106]
because that's what my followers love.
[108]
ASMR is short for
[110]
Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response,
[112]
and it is basically the
[113]
sensation that some people get
[114]
when they watch slime videos.
[116]
They find it stress relieving and
[117]
anxiety relieving.
[118]
I know that I find it very satisfying.
[120]
I like to make sure there's a good
[121]
variety of noises.
[122]
So I want to make sure there's
[124]
pokes, there's bubble pops
[126]
and there's crunches.
[128]
This is a crunch.
[132]
My business really started to take off back
[134]
in 2017 when I started my YouTube channel,
[136]
the most views
[137]
I've ever gotten on a video was,
[139]
I think seven million and it was on Tik Tok.
[141]
Making these ASMR videos is
[142]
basically like marketing because
[144]
you're showing the product before
[145]
people buy it, so they basically
[147]
know what they're going to get.
[148]
I do not really like slime,
[151]
but I have a few ones that
[152]
I don't mind touching.
[154]
Pretty much everybody in this family
[155]
gets stuck in the slime business
[156]
except for my brother,
[157]
he somehow stayed out of it
[159]
He's dodged it.
[160]
As a child, I was very entrepreneurial.
[162]
I first heard about slime when I was browsing through
[164]
Instagram back in 2016.
[165]
One day I was
[167]
going to Target with my mom and we
[168]
found this blue glitter glue.
[170]
And that night I came home and made
[171]
slime with it and I ended up posting
[173]
it to Instagram.
[174]
My first sale was to one of my friends,
[176]
but I don't think he ever paid me.
[178]
So
[181]
if he's watching this,
[182]
you owe me like four bucks.
[184]
It's time to post it to my Instagram
[186]
to get people excited.
[186]
I work super hard on my social media profiles.
[189]
I have six hundred thousand followers
[191]
on Instagram.
[191]
We just got an order for
[194]
Cotton Candy Skies.
[195]
I sell some of my merch on my website.
[197]
I sell hoodies and phone cases
[200]
and facemasks and socks and t-shirts.
[203]
I definitely earn more from slime than merch.
[205]
Someone bought it and they posted it.
[207]
The quickest I've ever sold out
[209]
during a re-stock was only one minute.
[211]
That was back in 2018.
[213]
In the future, I would love to open
[215]
up my own slime warehouse, where I
[217]
can have people come into
[219]
the warehouse and buy slimes in person.
[220]
I feel so grateful to be
[222]
able to run a business at 17.
[223]
I love the fact that I'm earning money
[226]
from something that brings people joy.
