Jakarta, CNBC Indonesia – Adversity sometimes makes a person despair. However, this did not happen to Cassiy Johson (31), a woman from Michigan, USA.
Previously he was poor, lived in despair, worked odd jobs and was fired while working. However, now he has a successful online shop business and makes US$ 101 thousand or Rp. 1.5 billion per month.
What's the story?
Cassiy grew up in the city of Michigan, United States (US). Since childhood, misery has always befallen his life.
Launching from CNBC Make it (22/4/2024), this woman born in 1992 was expelled from school because she became pregnant at the age of 16. After that, he had to work odd jobs in fast food restaurants, cinemas and other companies to pay the monthly bills, as well as meet the living needs of himself and his children. All this went on for 3 years before finally getting a permanent job in 2011.
In that year, he then worked as a salesperson at the largest furniture store in the United States. To CNBC Make it, he said that the job changed the course of his life. He now has a steady income every month and no longer has odd jobs. During his work, Cassiy was known to have received awards as the best salesman several times from year to year. It was at this point that he felt touched that he had gone through difficult times.
“I saw that everyone who went to school with me had started to pursue a career and become successful. However, now I was a single mother struggling to make ends meet,” she said while reminiscing.
Even so, as a human being, Cassiy feels bored and fed up with her work. It is known that he was only paid US$ 70,000 per year as a salesperson. This figure is far compared to the average for other US employees.
However, it was difficult for him to find a new job. All office jobs with better salaries require applicants to have a bachelor's degree. Seeing this, Cassiy gave up her plans.
He realized that he had never attended college. As a result, he patiently looked for work until he was finally accepted as a child care worker. Unfortunately, Cassiy didn't last long in this new place. The Covid-19 pandemic closed his workplace and he was fired in March 2020. Cassiy was shocked and devastated.
Not wanting to be on the brink of despair, he ventured into business. The business he chose was a service business print on demand. So he created t-shirt, bag and mug designs and uploaded them on e-commerce, Etsy.
All of this is only done on one cellphone. He also continued to wait for customers. If there is an order, it will be sent immediately. If there is no order, then he has to be patient.
After waiting for some time, slowly but surely the business sold well. During 1.5 years of business, he unexpectedly earned a turnover of up to US$ 766,000 or Rp. 11.72 billion. In fact, he admitted that he could earn US$ 101 thousand or Rp. 1.5 billion per month.
“The print-on-demand business has generated more than US$766,000 or IDR 11 billion since 2020. In his most successful month, he sold T-shirts and mugs worth US$100,900 on Etsy,” wrote CNBC Make it.
Practically all this money adds to his personal wealth as a single parent. He who used to live poor and miserable, now wallows in wealth and is adored. Not only that, from the online shop business, he admitted that he only works 30 minutes a day. From working in less than an hour, he succeeded in making billions per month.
Thanks to the large profits, he deserves to be crowned a billionaire. Now, like other rich people, he often provides motivation and business tips on his personal YouTube account, which also makes money from advertising.
