For the younger kids in the sneaker trend. I am 18 years old about to graduate high school so I can only speak on experience. Here are some tips on how to make money without a job 1. Go to your local supermarket and stock up on candy. Sell the candy at school for $1 or maybe $2. SAVE THIS MONEY TO MAKE SURE U HAVE MONEY TO BUY CANDY OVER AND OVER 2. Once u have some more money buy Reshoevnrs cleaning system, offer kids in your school or neighborhood to clean their shoes 3. After that start buying kids old unwanted shoes. Fix them up and clean them and try reselling on ebay. 4. Apply for a job when u get around 16-17 and never stop steps 1-3. Now you will have 2 sets of income. Most importantly stay in your own lane. Don't worry about what other kids are copping.

Mike your a very good young man, my son watches your videos everyday and cant wait to see you in person, he never stops talking about you and your shoes, keep motivating people especially the younger one because they look up to you, his father died 1 year ago and you, basketball, and shoes are really the only thing that make his day, I just want to say thank you and keep posting.

She ain't stopping me from getting my money

saving is key. dont blow all your money at one time. The goal is to never go broke again

It's not flexing on people, it's motivating for people

Mikes #1 rule: live with your parents as long as possible and you'll save all kinds of money.

I would sell but most ppl at my school be dead broke 💀

I love the intro man! And salute to the hustler mentality.. there is a million ways to make a buck you just have to wake up and try.

finally got my job. gonna start collecting and buying shoes again

this guy helps me a lot ...shoutout to A SneakerLife

People make fun of me because I work at the swap meet but I got more money than them and I'm saving up for a car and I'm 15

I'm 17 and I literally cried over this video. Snatched my soul real hard.

You are 100 percent correct. I'm 17 saving up for my first car right now I think about buying jordans everytime one drop but that 200 can go towards my car so I don't even buy the shoes gotta look at the bigger picture sometimes

Mike is the only sneaker youtuber that I genuinely like. All these other youtubers just show what they buy , but mike shows us how he affords stuff

nice speech I'm 15 and I took your advices and now I got yeezys legit

you don't play your self or your audience I respect that

them days when youd download something on limewire, get a virus and then the ultimate L was when the song turned out to just be sex noises for 3 minutes

Fuckin realist shit you've ever said

5:30 I fell like he's talking about me

I’m 16 and i made mad bucks from reselling on StockX

As a 14 year old, this solved all my problems. Thanks for the nice vid

My dad is big car guy and he already has a car ready for me and to the side in only 12 the car is a 1970 Cornett super bee. It was my birthday a couple days ago I got 236 I now have 423 because of chores and I got a I phone 6s on my birthday day so I have started to invest into sneakers and fashion mike man keep up the good work stay humble 👌👍

It’s called working g. The best peice of advice my mom ever gave me was “ son if you want something go get it “ i was asking her how she’d afford to buy all this jewelry and she just told me she worked and i know my mom works hard as fuck so it’s from her where i learned how to make money

You just gone slide pass how you made over 700$ selling wristband

Kids this is what i do 1. Save up some money 2.Once you have enough , go buy sneaker cleaning kits from Jason mark (or anywhere) and angelus paint and stuff like that 3.restore peoples sneakers for cash Promote yourself on social media and stuff like that be wise

I don't know what I am good at

Bro that 14 years old and parents think its stupid is 100%

Damn limewire that's crazy

yo ur the truest mans on youtube and you help me with me

Ur motivation means a lot to me and my high school friends thxs big bruh getting the money is my first thing in life keep on the good job ur channel is different than any other sneaker channel on RU-vid (stay positive )

BRUH THIS GOT ME HYPED!NOW I'M DOING THINGS I THOUGHT I COULDN'T LIKE GETTING SHOES I'VE ALWAYS WANTED thanks bro !

Wow man what a great speech, I was thinking to become like you, until you said you want us to be better than you. I never thought of that. Thank You Bro!

I got into sneakers almost a year ago and I made a huge list of all these sneakers I wanted to cop but then I realized how consumerism drove me. Through all the hype I have only copped some adidas pure boosts. I ended up reselling a lot of kicks on the side to make money and it has worked out for me a little. I recently sold 2 pairs of the Silver Bullet Air Maxes and I now have 4 pairs of the Jordan 11 UNC's and have 2 people who are buying. As hungry as people are for sneaker you have to apply that to money.

i started saving christmas money and invested in some shoes to resell. i'm sixteen years old and here's what i do. find out what's hyped up , buy it for retail on release or try to catch a restock , sell it for profit . i did this while working a real job and it's good money especially for a minor. i can't say it will support your life and you'll make enough to live if you're doing it just to do it . but just know you get what you put in.

bro seriously you are honestly the most real person ive ever seen on youtube. man i.wish there were more people like you 🙏

Dope vid.. Legit hustling.. Respect for putting the positives in these kids ears.. And pointing out priorities first.. That's something I rarely see on this platform.. Much luv.. Keep doing it fam

I love mike bro he seems sort of like J Cole but keep it up 🤙🏽😈

This wave was a real one and it’s real sweet to see people like him creating new vibes like this, really gives people a proper insight wit the bread

Bro this is probably the realist video I've seen in a long time. This is the first video of yours I seen and I rock with you the long way. Came from same background having to hustle to eat man. And knowing I can afford any sneaker I want is a blessing. Good to see you using your influence to reach the kids. Just sayin I'm proud of you pimp. Keep up the good work!

Been obsessed with trying to make money but my parents won't let me even try

I'm subing because you a real person

This is real talk and I salute you for making this. There is a lot of young and older folks who needed to here someone keep it real

damn this guy real as fuck, you sound so genuine and emotional, first time coming to this channel and i already subscribed

When I was growing up my mom ain't had shit and I was too young for a job so I made money the dirty way. I would come home with 200 300 or 400 bucks every night and my mom never knew I even had that money. I had to hide it from her and she eventually asked me where all these expensive clothes I had were coming from and I lied. I got caught when I was 16 and I was a minor so I was fortunate to only get off with 6 months of community service and counseling. Money and material possessions can bring the evil outta people and Ima prime example I was addicted to buyin these possessions

so are you gonna tell us how to make 700 $ in one day off of wrist bands

I still come back to this video when I wanna get motivated u a real one it’s nice to see someone understand the struggle I respect it

This video is so genuine. Kids need this type of advice. Respect

I already have a job, 16, still live with my parents and I buy shoes from $200-$300 // I put in 7-9 hours a work day 😪💯sometimes 10 💵 but I might experiment with buyin food and flipping that to put towards my car ‼️🤔 cause I already can afford shoes on my own 🤷🏾‍♂️ but thanks bro 😈 good luck to y'all hustlers ☝🏾

Guys u wanna get money right well....I'll tell you how Step1: save money first. It is important to save money to get money Step2: buy an ounce of weed Nigga. We gonna hit the trap and get them stacks but be careful because momma told me not to sell work.(MAMA) step 3: break that shit down and sell dubs and dimes if the weed is good quality sell them for 25-30 but if it's weak sell it for 15-20 ask if friends if they want weed your the plug Step4: if you find a customer get to know them because if you have a good relationship with them it works out in the long run and makes buisness controller able. Step5: buisness should be booming now you will need a gun for protection. Carrying weight around carelessly will get you robbed so deliver on a bike or car. Step6: expand your flavour s. This keeps the customers interested and you can bump up the price depending on how good it is Step7: profit if you ain't in jail.

🙏🏽 I respect this video man. More people young people need to see this an I’m going to share it. Stay blessed and keep the hustle up.
