"They said no, but I did it anyways". This is the attitude.
Well luck also played a part
Also don't know the context in what they said "no" to. Teenage daughter has youtube channel "Mom/Dad some of my followers want me to sell them my slime, can I do it?"
@ilikebacon thanks
Of course she got help I don't believe she made her website and set up sales and logistics all be herself
@@chaitanyadivate4551 oh man cmon. Really? Can't anyone be happy for another person lmao
Even if you hate slime, don’t hate on her. She seems serious about her business and I’m glad she was able to pursue the job she wanted.
True, she is just doing her thing.
So I can start a business right now?
@@Mrbruh6000 Yeah ofc, I'm 16 and started a custom shoe business so most definitely it'll work out for you too :)
How do you even start an online business?
I would just say she got lucky enough to start up the business, the rest is hard work
She seems like a really down to earth person. For 17 years old, I'm glad to see how kinda mature she is! Good job (:
What a clever girl. True entrepreneur! We need more kids like this, with their heads screwed on right. Congrats mum and dad
Meanwhile poor overworked doctors and firefighters don’t even make close to the amount of money she makes and are way more important people who save thousands of lives every day.
@@iknowexactlywhoyouare8701 excuse me doctors are some of the highest paid jobs literally
Imagine how many potential young entrepreneurs there’d be if parents let them do their things
@@yavannakementari521 that’s not entirely wrong. But then remember the 200k in loans they have to pay off, let alone all the money it takes for owning your own practice, tools, hiring, etc.
I’m not a doc. But I do watch a lot of verified doc channels.
"Clever girl".
It's weird to not have that follow up with a velociraptor jumping from the bushes
She's 17, has a slime business, and makes her own slime AND makes 50k a month and I'm here a 14-year-old sitting on my chair on my desk doing absolutely nothing she's so talented.
Edit:Yes she's talented because she already know how to run and how business works.
Y'all are starting a fight lmao immatures.
I think most people are like that especially during quarantine
Love, you're a kid. Enjoy being carefree, no shame in that.
@@chrissyb9076 I'm Billie Eillish's age.. it's definitely triggering to see others win big in the luck and fortune bingo game. And that's okay to admit and feel.
@@potatopotatoeOG I understand you're young. But it definitely is not okay and isn't healthy for your mental health or self esteem to compare yourself to other's luck and fortune when you're an otherwise perfectly normal teen.
@@potatopotatoeOG Fam you aint alone
Her business is called parakeet slimes tbh not sure why she didn’t get the name out in the video🤯❤️❤️
true it only showed for a sec 2:19
Parakeet slimes
People like you, my good sir.
That's why.
Channel 4 could have at least posted it in the description. Slimy.
Cuz she's weird like that i know who she is and i don't like her
what really stood out is her willingness to be nonconformist
those of the older generation are too quick to write off anything unfamiliar as crazy and her mental fortitude to push through with her idea despite backlash and make a success out of it is to be applauded
3:01 "if he's watching this, you owe me 4 bucks" LOL 😂😂
she has a super colourful personality back then and i remember thats the reason why she was one of my favourite slime creators
Was? She isn't anymore?
People grow up and change doggy.
@@scarlett9750 lol what hit your head? If she enjoyed it and made a lot of profit there must be a great explanation to why they stopped? Or they didn't and you are just trying to be negative to someone who did nothing to you.
@@-ClerzZ- they werent even being negative what.
@@moved6590 they called the first guy doggy, which was uneccessary.
tbh I can’t believe she still makes 50k a month bcos I thought the slime trend had pretty much died out…
50k a month**
Yea same I thought slime is dead at this point
@@harizramli oh god yh loool
@@theonefrog7392 honestly I still like slime when I am stressed it’s so satisfying I don’t really care about the trends I still do it but ye
Sheesh thanks for the likes
The slime trend hasn’t died out, It’s just not relevant anymore. My little cousins have like 12 of her slimes- 😳
What I do is invest into stocks and other financial assets online but stocks is most effective for good monthly with an expert
how do you do it? I mean invest for profits because I have never done it before although back in college I had friends trading stocks and making money but it was never my thing
Stocks is a great investment and way to create multiple income sources from the proceeds, I have been in the market 11 years now and I have made my fair share of wealth over and over
@@gitamiangelique6953 I use the service of a fiduciary under a great broker, that is the most effective way I have known

What an intelligent business lady. I respect her motivation and spirit. She knows what she wants from life and works hard to achieve her goals. This is why we have to support our children and take their dreams and visions for the future more seriously.
She’s done well but I’m surprised she’s working so much as it looks quite easy for her to hire someone to help her.
It's not lol
But I think that she does have a few employees. She mentioned that her family helps her too btw :>
she does have employees
her sister gianna n her mom helps her but fr i nvr expect that she would make so much from selling slime
It's hard to find people who actually work, alot of people get paid for nothing do she's better off doing it herself
@@maddiesands5360 how do you know?
I hope she figures out a way to get a real break. She’s young now but working 7 days a week is terrible in the long run. I’m impressed by her business ability! She’s clearly motivated and dedicated. Great job! This is why we should support our children’s creative or entrepreneurial interests
where I am from, working 7 days a week is standard/normal here. From doctors, to engineers, to office workers, to home based jobs, they all work 7 days a week.
@@ELalaEm dOCTOR WORKS 7 DAYS A WEEK? Wow what country r u living in, that sounds awfullll
@@rororizky8424 Philippines my bro. Some doctors even goes on duty on sundays
@@ELalaEm sounds more terrible than what's happening in my country. I'm a med stud practicing in GP but we still have one or two days off here even in pandemic (but still work restlessly). Hope Philippines' health workers to be always in good condition ^^
@@rororizky8424 I wish the best for you too. Take care fam!
It’s funny to me how some people are like “how is she making so much money from something that isn’t even a trend anymore?” Lol but guys just because something isn’t a trend or isn’t as popular as before does not mean you still can’t get things out of it, if she’s making 50k a month from something that was a trend like 4 years ago then slime obviously hasn’t died, it never will.. it just isn’t a trend anymore so of course not as many people are gonna have interest in it.. but there’s clearly still people out there that are doing it :) good for her tho like fr
I'd still want to see proof of 50k, I think shes just saying that.
50k a month she would have her own warehouse and employees, I call complete BS.
@@russellbrooker2122 Im sorry but who hurt you? Like, it aint bs or anything u say it apparently is. Shes 17, who made a business better than u could do but u doubting someones successful business life is shitty especially the fact all the effort and hardwork she put in to earn such money and u doubt that? Talk about respect. Its her decision to DO what she WANTS with the 50k just because you have 50k doesnt mean you have to get warehouses or employees. It may be a single business meaning EVERYTHING was handmade by her, theres many businesses out there that does it their own who makes serval copies of one things such as crocheting.
slime was trending decades ago when I was a kid...trends come and go
right, there will always be kids so there will always be a market for slime.
I think the slime trend resurface again
Good for her. Her marketing and packaging is very professional.
She doesn't sound like those annoying teenagers, she seems like a great, business-savy person
Yeah

She is amazing! What a smart and hard-working young woman. Good for her. 🎉
Props to her though. She saw something she wanted to do and she went for it even though her parents wasn't really agreeing with her.
thats the SPIRIT

This is why you should never listen to anyone when it comes to success. Imagine if she listen to her parents?
You need to listen tho
Well there is no GUARENTEE in life you might as well do it..
It depends how much your parents know about marketing
@@chilloha6464 nah you don’t need to listen to whatever they want you to do if it won’t make you happy
@@bme7995 bruh u need to hear, u need to listen listening is essential
She is so eloquent graceful and intelligent!! Good for her!!
I like the entrepreneurial mindset she has in giving people joy 🤩
It’s not about money but it’s all about having the passion that not only makes you happy but other people happy too. Which is something rare to find nowadays in entrepreneurs 💃🏼👩🏻💼
I love how she takes her business seriously! She really went from making slime content to selling it!
Meanwhile poor overworked doctors and firefighters don’t even make close to the amount of money she makes and are way more important people who save thousands of lives every day.
@@iknowexactlywhoyouare8701 You deadass can't compare running an insanely well marketed business (did you overhear the fact she sold out in ONE MINUTE before??) and working a 9-5.
@@iknowexactlywhoyouare8701 so true
It's a very smart business. She has two revenue streams from both the media and the medium. It's both visual and tactile. For an artist's, it can be hard to make a livelihood from the art made because it might not be so functional. However this material is easy to understand, visually and touch satisfying. What's more, herself shows commitment to what is her craft and people can see that. It makes the product even more valuable to see the crafter take that care.
It's also easy from her position, having a large media following is the key to everything else, almost all big CZcamsrs are selling their own products, finding customers is the hardest part so if you already have a large following then that isn't a problem.
Meanwhile poor overworked doctors and firefighters don’t even make close to the amount of money she makes and are way more important people who save thousands of lives every day.
Blah blah blah. They chose their profession, they made that choice. They can also make their own business just like her but they and I emphasize Chose too be who they wanted to be.
@iknowexactlywhoyouare8701 What do you expect her to do about that? If you have an issue with the salaries of doctors and firefighters why don't you go appeal to your local powers that be so you can begin the process of trying to change that. She made it. Im happy for her.
Honestly I’ve watched Marisa since she’s started and I’m actually so proud of her. She’s making her coin!
AS SOON AS I HEARD HER VOICE I WAS LIKE “WAITTT THATS MARISA”
To anyone feeling like they're useless at whatever age they're in just because she's set an example of a young and successful teen. It's okay your time will come if you ever feel left out then that means it is not YET the right time for u yo achieve your goals. We all have our own ways and successes. Cheer up!
Thanks I needed that!
thank you❤
No it wont just come, you have to work hard
Im really frustated tbh, i have done 5 bussinesses in my life (first one at 8/9 and im 13 now ) and GOOD oneS , [this is one is great btw!] and did everything (branding, selling, promoting,) from a younger age than most people and really no one payed me attentioon and my parenst arent even as supportive as his, why do some people get lucky and others not i mean i consider i put ALL my effort still havign good grades and since last year i have been saving up (bc i didn’t got teached to save up so until now i didin’t find any bad on spending) for COLLEGE and, why some get lucky and others not??
Why i can’t be as succesful as him?
Why even when i tryto be the best it’s NEVER enought?
Why, just why
@@IsaThePhilosophical 1. You have to generally educate yourself on owning a business. There is going to be more than marketing and selling, you'll even be taxed. 2. Good job on the grades! However (if you're American), colleges are weird right now and they search for the "perfect activist student" not just a person with good academics, so make sure to join extracurriculars (you'll beef up your chances with that!). Also, you're 13, chill. It's not "luck." It's just a skill that they picked up and you have PLENTY of time to learn. You'll be fine, chin up, never bow down.
I respect the hustle. She could be a millionaire at a young age. I hope she doesn't burn out though.
She will. It's inevitable in hustle culture. Its great she's disciplined and self sufficient but she will burn out if she doesn't get help or a break soon
Nope, no way in hell they will turn into a millionaire off of slime.
Or they will...But they would need a factory then they would need a team. Then they would have to think of a new idea for slime because the one their creating is pretty old.
@@grind4fun172 50K+ Out of 12 months a year is 600K a year. She probably is one already lol.
@@Gisella16 yeah I'm pretty sure she is, because she started in 2017. That's 4 years.
What a legend! Keep it up Marisa, the world needs more people like you.
Honestly looks kind of satisfying and fun. It's amazing how she can stay so concentrated, I'd be playing with the slime for hours instead of working!!
And they say, HARVARD, STANFORD AND YALE = Success.. hats off to you young Girl
Those school are almost like basically to add in your application to basically get accepted on works easily (some but still)
That's basically the only way for success if you don't work outside the box like she did
Stop comparing
It’s really hard to manage a slime business, a youtube channel and managing in school which I stan because she works hard everyday.
I'm confusion are you saying your name is Stan...like Stanley? Or like a typo saying that you stand with her?
Colm M Hi Colm! The word “stan” is actually a new word, I think Gen Z came up with it? Not sure. But anyway, it comes from Eminem’s song “Stan” where a man called Stan is obsessed with Eminem to the point of insanity. People started using the word “stan” to mean a really crazed fan at first, then just “a really big fan” and then people started using it as a verb. To “stan” something is to be a big fan of. So Roblox here means that they are a huge fan of how hard she works.
Yea, also I believe that she actually makes slime herself which is crazy considering someone her age. Some people are like 8 or 5 years older than her, and those people still need help on making slime, since they make slime with their staff. But, Marisa, just works by herself I think. And, also, how she runs 2 social media programs, with over 600 k for each one
@@warbler1984 omfg LOL
@@fabplays6559 Well; thanks for the explanation. That was an education, lol! I feel informed and very old all at the same time-an odd feeling.
I thought he somehow misspelled "underSTANd!"
Every generation has its slang but what confuses me is that I'm Gen X, early 40s, and I'm shocked that people still know who Eminem is? I so badly want to say Eminem was a big deal "back in my day," but that makes me feel really old!
1:21 “learned that the hard way.”
This is an example of the customer is always right. It's not a product I have any interest in, but I get the appeal and there's obviously a market for it. She saw that, capitalized on it, expanded on it, and has accomplished more than a lot of people twice her age have. Good for her.
Wow I literally had a dream that Marisa opened a warehouse and I went there-
Not “literally”🙄
Was that hyphen necessary?🙄
i love how there isn’t a name drop in here, but everyone know that she’s marisa from parakeetslimes
I'm speechless, she is an inspiration, sometimes you just need to follow your instincts and your heart, what you truly love and hope the best ❤ congratulations for her and her family 👏👏
i am trying to start a slime shop at the moment. I am really scared it is not going to take off and i will spent a lot of money for nothing. I love making slime and its something i would love to make money off. You are an inspiration because you give me hope that my shop will be a success! i just want to thank you so much i am still young and know that its hard to be very successful at a young age but i know if i really want this and i work hard to get where you are i can become just like you! thank you so much!
just believe in yourself! im sure your slime shop will blow up some time soon! do whatever makes you happy

Parakeet slimes have grown so much 🥺🥺🥺
Ngl that crunching slime sounds so satisfying 🤣
She is so passionate about it, and it is good to see someone chase their dreams. But the fact that Slimes are non-biodegradable, plus the craze for slimes never ceases to exist, which is disturbing. Only if there were green alternatives to it. No hate to her tho, it is the people. :(
Right! If someone came up with a more eco-friendly slime, maybe made from recycled materials, I’m sure it’d be a hit. But slime also seems like a market where greenwashing could be very, very easy to get away with, so as consumers that feels like something for us to watch out for if a “sustainable slime” hits the market.
Respect to her. Don't demean her. She set out to do it, worked hard, and it paid off. I'm in my 30s doing a PhD and I wish I was making this much money. I'm not business savvy.

For REAL. I’m out here grinding my way through a doctorate with fingers crossed that a tenure track position will be open when I graduate. This girl is clearly working very hard, don’t get me wrong, but she’s also working way smarter than I am by staring a business in a niche market that just happens to be booming.
I’m pretty sure age has nothing to do with success. Success is equal in all ages. A successful 50 year old should have the Same praise as a successful 14 year old.

Is anyone else addicted to this video?
Okay, you’ve inspired me and I’m already planning
I'm glad she's being so responsible and thoughtful with it. She didn't just create her business but she runs it. She doesn't sit back She does most of it. It looks very good and clean and fun. Hopefully she inspires other teenagers to find a life outside of their phones

@@iknowexactlywhoyouare8701 -and those two things have _nothing_ to do with each other. She simply has a business that is driven by a niche supply & demand that's able to maintain a stable equilibrium _as a business._
Essential workers in general require a social network that ensures that they are adequately compensated rather than treating those essential services like a profit-driven institution. Even things like the postal service doesn't exist to make money, _it exist because it is necessary._ Same with grocery store employees, garbage truck drivers, fire fighters, medical professionals, etc.
That's why those things are funded at a government and institutional level, because they can't be allowed to be subject to the whims of supply & demand, nor can they be exploited and undercut by competition for profitability slashing employee wages to support a bottom line.
Assuming you live in America - that's absurdly gutted and rampantly abused in the name of capitalism. That's an issue that has to be solved systemically & politically - and no amount of girls selling slime will ever have an impact on the mechanics of those employees' monetary compensation or lack thereof.
