Sebastian Esqueda is a 22-year-old influencer who does ecom, marketing, YouTube, coaching, and investing.
His foot’s always on the gas.
He claims he’s making $311,000 per month. Not all of it’s profit, but still.
Let’s pull back the curtain and see how he’s doing it, shall we?
It all started back in 2017 with dropshipping.
After pooping his PJs on the first few products, he eventually struck gold with a free bracelet (just pay $14 for shipping) offer. That store made him $1,000 on day one.
Sebastian stuck with it and then, when Covid hit, he pivoted to hands-free thermometers which he sold to businesses around the globe.
Six months later, that Shopify store had pulled in more than half a million dollars in pure profit.
His next home run was this swinging duck ornament thingie. He scaled that to – are you sitting down? – $47,000 per day, in just the first week.
Plus he’s got a couple other brands that do anywhere from $50- to $100,000 in sales each and every month.
But it’s not all popsicles and puppies.
“Dropshipping is far from easy,” Sebastian confesses.
“I have to spend tons of money to test products, to then find winners. But it costs a lot of money to run ads and see what products are good, which ones are bad, and then through those products and through all that money spent, I eventually find products that go on to make me tons of money like I had just mentioned,” he explains.
“On average, I’m doing around $250,000 per month in revenue with dropshipping, but only $61,000 of that is profit,” he says.
Not surprisingly, Sebastian went full degen and began investing in crypto. His portfolio’s up $37,000 at the time of writing this, so he’s doing better than most.
Crypto is crazy volatile, anything could happen in the future, and he only invests money he’s okay with losing.
What else?
Mentoring other dropshippers. Sebastian’s got a course and a 1-on-1 coaching program.
Combined, those programs are making him north of $30k a month. That’ll climb as he gets bigger on YouTube.
Speaking of which, Sebastian got on YouTube years ago, uploading mostly gaming content at the time.
When he got more into online business, he began making videos to document his wins and losses, and saw an uptick in views.
So he doubled down… and it appears to be working.
Last month, alone, he gained 12,000 subscribers.
Every time you see an ad play on one of his videos, he’s making money passively. Sebastian says he’ll cross the $10k a month mark any day now. He can drive people straight to his training programs, too.
He’s also got a marketing agency where other dropshippers can hire his team to run their TikTok ads. It’s doing about $10 grand a month currently.
Sebastian knows he’ll have to build his team out a bit before he can scale it up though.
“Overall, developing skills like marketing can be extremely valuable,” he says.
“Even if your dropshipping store fails, you now have this skill you can take to other businesses and offer to run their ads for a monthly fee. Agencies are such a great business because they require no physical product,” he explains.
Last but not least, Sebastian has a free Discord group you can join.
It’s basically his own private network of dropshippers, fans and followers he can connect with anytime he wants.
He monetizes it by upselling you into a premium channel with insights and examples from him and his 7-figure dropshipping buddies.
That does about $10 Gs a month, and growing.
How’s lil’ homie spending all that dough?
Sebastian says he’s got some cool cars, a nice watch, a private chef, and he likes to travel. Nooice.
