they don’t meet that date, be sure to have an agreement on getting the price knocked down
for being late
2. Always ask for a video call before doing business, be sure that you are familiar with who
you’re working with, the goal is building a relationship with your vendor
3. Always ask for samples of 3 different products (hoodies, shirt, shorts, etc.) just to be sure
they are worth doing multiple projects with
4. Make sure you ask for a swatch! So you can personally have access to all your manufacture
fabrics and colors

Marketing Guide

The key to marketing is having basic sales skills

● You must pay attention and track spending


● NETWORK NETWORK NETWORK
● Get rid of ego so you can understand you must ask for money to make money

1. PAY ATTENTION- The reason you must pay attention is because you need to track every
single conversion on your site, you can’t know what’s working or not with your marketing
unless you pay attention to the numbers

2. NETWORKING- you will never be able to understand how to make real money until you start
connecting with people who already have it. (Hotel bars and believe it or not strip clubs) are
the BEST locations for networking in most cities ! Just sit around and observe conversations
and get it where you can
. ASK FOR MONEY- A lot of people nowadays, especially in the clothing space, only focus on
the content that grows engagement and following , no one focus on making content to make
money anymore, you must remember the business was started to make money

Always ask yourself:

“ What is the one dramatic demonstration that i could do to create trust and certainty in the mind of
my prospect ?”

UNDERSTANDING SOCIAL MEDIA

● You have multiple apps to use for posting (TikTok, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Etc)
● Most apps are ran by kids, meaning your posting times should be around the same time most
kids are on phones

Best posting times Best posting day


Tik Tok 8am-10am, 12p-2p, Sun, tues, fri
5p-8p
Instagram 8am-10am, 12p-2p, Sun, tues, wed, thurs,
5p-8p fri
Facebook All day Every day
Twitter 8am-3p Every day

TIK TOK

● This app is the most kid friendly one


● With TikTok you should be posting 3 times a day
– The goal is to build your target audience so you have to make them adapt to you
– Give out tips on things that help you learn and grow more everyday
– Document everything you do, packing orders, getting in shipments , trying on samples,
dropping off orders, literally everything you do is needed content
– Share your lifestyle, probably one of the most important things, showing how your business is
elevating your lifestyle will only make people gravitate towards you more
– Outfit videos are needed, you’re in a clothing space, put that shit on or find someone else to
do it for you

INSTAGRAM

● POST YOUR BEST CONTENT


– Instagram is all about the looks, you can not treat it like TikTok
– Photoshoots, and reels should be the only thing you keep on your brand page (unless you
have pics of celebrities and influencers to post)
– Typically 2 post a week is good but 3 is perfect
– Even if you have nothing to drop, keep a loaded collection of photos so you an keep your feed
updated
– GO LIVE, engage with your supporters, make them feel like they’re apart of the journey

FACEBOOK & TWITTER

● THE OG APPS
– Treat these apps the same, both are always active no matter the time of day
– Don’t be afraid to ask for RTs, again we trying to get sells
– One of my go to captions for twitter is “RT to help me find my next customer

BEEROLL
– Maybe you just not the camera person, and you work better behind the scenes, Well Bee roll
is the perfect app for you!
– With this app you can literally hire someone to make content for you , videos range from
$50-$100 and creators following range from 10k-over 1M followers
EMAIL & SMS MARKETING
– You NEED this, I recommend klaviyo one of the best and easiest apps to use
– I do not recommend using any app from Shopify because you wouldn’t get the full experience
– This is your best way to keep returning customers coming back .

GIVEAWAYS
– You can gain so much from giveaways
– Offer a free product as a giveaway before every new drop just to build that hype
– Also giveaways are another way to build up your email list (MAJOR KEY)
– Always make sure you get people to tag friends and repost to story so you can actually grow

INFLUENCER MARKETING
– TRUST ME ITS EASIER THAN YOU THINK
– Don’t go directly to the influencer unless you ready to pay
– Go through following and tags and follow who they’re connected to!
– Use their friends and associates to get in good with them,(TRUST ME IT WORKS)
– Also photographers and producers are major plugs to getting connected
– Find a dope photographer to plug in with, keep them some gear in exchange for them to let
you know when an influencer is around

OUTSIDE STILL WORKS, GET OUT AND POP THAT TRUNK, I MADE
THOUSANDS AT COLLEGES AND POP UPS IN 2022

CONTENT THAT CONVERTS

BUSINESS AND PERSONAL
CREDIT SAUCE

THIS INFO APPLY TO BOTH BUSINESS AND PERSONAL CREDIT


● ONLY THING YOU CHANGE IS WHEN APPLYING FOR EVERYTHING, YOUR EIN NUMBER IS
YOUR BUSINESS “SSN”

Before we start building your new credit profile, I want you to understand what makes a great credit
profile and how to protect it, once you have it.
Here is what is considered when calculating your credit score:
● Credit Card Utilization - Have you maxed out your credit line?
● Payment History - Have you had any late payments?
● Derogatory Marks - Aka Collections, Public Records, Charge-Offs
● Age of credit history - The older the credit history, the better!
● Total number of accounts - More accounts show responsibility
● Inquiries - Too many make you look desperate for credit
Here are a few things you need to be aware of to maintain your good credit history.
● Debt-to-Credit Ratio: This is simply the amount of credit you have used, compared to your
credit limit. It is very important to stay under 30%, because anything above that will affect
your credit score. So, if your credit limit is $100, you don't want to spend more than $30
● New Collection Account: This will kill your new credit score, so don't let this happen. If you
receive a collection notice in the mail, I want you to contact the company immediately and
address the situation. By law, they must give you 30 days to respond before reporting it the
credit bureaus. That is your time to negotiate a settlement or dispute it. Here is a very
important tip for you; if you negotiate a settlement, make sure you get them to agree not to
report that account to the credit bureaus and get it in writing.
● Late Payments: A new late payment will hurt your score for the next two years.
If you make a late payment, immediately call your creditor and ask they remove it from your
record. This is called a "Good Will Correction" and it works if you have not been late too many
times with them.

WHICH ARE YOU?

If you suffer from a low credit score, you will probably fall into one of three groups.
. Bad Credit
. High Debt
. No Credit
The first group, people with bad credit, will have late payments, collections, charge-offs, public
records, medical bills etc. The strategy for them is as follows:
● Remove as much negative as quickly as possible. (Fico Dominator - The Equifax Credit Sweep
- Right to Reports Letters)
● Add positive accounts as quickly as possible.
The second group of people who suffer from a low credit score are people with high debt. These
people have good credit; they are just in a lot of debt and are overextended. The strategy for this
group is to:
● Negotiate their debts down and pay them off, while preserving credit rating, and
● Add credit to their report to reduce their debt-to-credit ratio and enhance their overall credit
profile
The third group is the minority. These are the people with no credit. It will be easy for them to
achieve a great credit score if they know exactly what to do. The strategy for this group is simple.
● Build their credit by adding positive tradelines to their report.
● Keep the debt-to-credit ratio low.
● Never miss a payment.
Now that you have a general understanding of what we are about to do here, let's build some credit!
PHASE 1: RE-ESTABLISH W/ GUARANTEED APPROVALS
(To Be Completed Within 60 Days)
Let's cut to the chase. You need to add good credit history to your report, and you need it NOW! We
don't have time to gamble and see who will give you credit, and we definitely don't want to add any
new inquiries to your credit report.
These little-known sources to re-establish credit I am about to reveal to you are the foundation to
getting that 700+ credit score. Adding these lines of credit will pad your credit report with more
good credit and get you back in the game.
These are all "Primary Tradelines," meaning they will be in your name only and will report
permanently.
The downside is you will need to build your credit history with them from scratch.
As opposed to "Authorized User Accounts," where you are placed on someone else's account and
can receive years of their credit history instantly.
The downside is they do not remain on your credit report forever, but can stay on from a few months
to a few years.
STEP 1: GET CREDIT FOR PAYING YOUR RENT
(If you own your home, simply skip this step)
You probably have been paying rent for years and have received no credit for it.
There is a service that will report all your future rent payments to the Credit Bureaus and up to two
years of your past rent payments.
I want you to sign up at Rental Kharma immediately and get this process started.
This service will work wonders for your credit score.
It does not matter if you are renting from a complex, private owner, or family member (wink wink).
You only have to have someone who can verify your payments over the phone, and you are good to
go!

THE DETAILS
One Time Registration Fee
$25 Per Renter
Monthly Rent Reporting
Individual = $6.95 Per Month
Renter w/ Spouse/Roommate = $8.95 Per Month
REPORTS TO TRANSUNION ONLY
STEP 2: USE CATALOG CARDS TO YOUR ADVANTAGE
Merchandise cards that report to one or more of the major credit bureaus are the single most cost-
effective (and powerful) tool for you to increase your high credit limit and increase your debit to
credit ratio.
What makes these companies so attractive is that they give lines of credit with No Credit Check, No
Employment Check, and Guaranteed Approval.
A merchandise card is nothing more than a card attached to a line of credit, which allows you to buy
merchandise from a specific vendor. This merchandise is usually purchased through a catalog or
online.
Once you make a purchase, the line of credit will hit your report and look like any other line of
credit.
These new "Unsecured Revolving Accounts" will hit your report and do three things...
. Increase your "High Credit Limit"
. Show you carry a small balance, which will positively impact your score
. Help you establish a good payment history
Like in any business, there are good businesses and shady companies. I have specifically
handpicked this easy approval creditor to help build your credit.
I want you to open an account with this creditor immediately and make the minimum purchase, so
your new tradeline shows up ASAP.

Apply for The Following Card: My Jewelers Club


$5000.00 Limit
$99.00 One-Time Fee
$100 Minimum Order
Reports to ALL 3 Bureaus
One Inquiry from Experian
REASONS FOR NON-APPROVAL
● Active / Open Bankruptcy
● Tax Liens Over $25.000
● Child Support
STEP 3: SAVE MONEY & RAISE YOUR CREDIT SCORE!
There is new way to build credit and I highly encourage you to take full advantage of it. Not only will
you be able to build credit, you will also be put able to save money on the side.
A Self Lender Credit Builder Account is basically a reverse loan because when you open an account
with them, you will be making payments that will go into a savings account that you will have access
to after 12 months.
Now.. this is actually a CD (Certificate of Deposit) and it's a little different from a savings account.
A Savings account lets you deposit and withdraw funds at will but with a CD, you must leave your
money in the bank for a set predetermined amount of time. This set amount of time is called the
term length. Term lengths can be as short as a few days, up to 10 years. In this case of Self-Lender
the term length is 12 months and you will not be able to access the funds without paying a penalty.
So, this is great way to build credit. It is essentially a savings account that reports to the credit
bureaus

THE DETAILS
No Credit Check
Three Loan Levels ($550, $1100, or $2200)
$550.00 Minimum Loan
$12 Fee to Open an Account
10.57% Interest Rate on the loan (Example: You pay $594 for a $550 CD, $1176 for an $1100 CD
Funds Are Released After 12 Months
Missed payments will reflect on your report

PHASE 2: STRENGTHEN & DIVERSIFY YOUR CREDIT PROFILE


Here, we will be..
. Adding Authorized User Tradelines
. Getting a Secured Bank Loan
. Getting a Capital One Secured Card
The purpose is to enhance your credit report in the following ways:
● Increase the length of your payment history
● Diversify credit profile with an installment loan
● Increase your available credit
● Show a major bank loan
● Show a major credit card

STEP 1 - ADD TWO AUTHORIZED USER TRADELINES:


Almost every credit card will allow the "Primary Card Holder" to add what's known as an
"Authorized User" or "Secondary Card Holder" to their account, and when this is done, the entire
payment history will get reported to the authorized user's credit report.
This will instantly give you years of payment history and increase your available credit, which will
help to generate a higher credit score. If you have family or friends with a credit card that reports to
the credit bureaus, you can always ask them to add you to their credit cards. Just make sure they
have no late payments and they do not owe over 20% of their available credit; otherwise, it will hurt
your credit score, not help it.
Example: If the limits is $1000, the balance should never be more than $300
You can also purchase from vendors online. Just be careful not to purchase from a broker, because
they always add a substantial extra fee, and make sure the company or person you go with is legit.
One of the best ways to accomplish this is via referral.
STEP 2- GET MULTIPLE SECURED LOANS:
Take a small secured loan for $300-$500 from your local bank or credit union. This is an installment
loan, which will give you the proper mix of types of credit, and it will show a loan from a major
banking institution, which looks good on your report.
Step 1: Open a bank account at a credit union, and while there, ask what the minimum amount is to
open a secured loan. The minimum amount should be between $100 and $500; that's the amount
you want to place into your new bank account.
Step 2: A few days later, return to the credit union and apply for the minimum secured loan. You will
be approved, because they will use the funds in your bank account as security.
Step 3: Once the loan is approved, they will give you access to the funds and a schedule to pay it
back. Ignore the payment schedule and pay the loan off in full with 21 days of opening it. You have
just created a positive, fully paid-off line of credit (Rinse & Repeat)

STEP 3 - GET COUPLE OF SECURED CREDIT CARDS:


Go to Capital One, Discover IT, and Open Sky apply for their secured card. This is one of the best
ways to get a major credit card reporting in the next 10-15 days. This is a major credit card, and it
will look good on your credit report. Approval is almost guaranteed, and they have a small deposit
options of between $49 of a $200.
Now, at this point, your credit report should have between 6-10 lines of credit reporting.
. Added your rental history to your credit report
. Added one catalog card to your credit report
. Added an authorized user tradeline
. Added a bank loan
. Added a major credit card
Do you see what we have done here? We have created a winning situation.
Now, it is time to move on to phase 3. but before we do that, there are a few things I want you to do
to increase your chances of success.
The key here is to stack the deck. I want you to do anything and everything that will give you even
the slightest advantage.

BEFORE WE GO INTO PHASE 3.


Allow me to reveal a few secrets of the pros before you apply for unsecured credit cards.
This will dramatically increase your odds for approval!
. Go to optoutprescreen.com and I want you to OPT IN. I want you to do this, because this will
allow potential creditors to send you pre-approved offers Now, notice I said pre-approved,
not pre-selected. There is a difference. If you get a pre-approved offer, there is a 95%
chance you will get fully approved, but with pre-selected, it is hit or miss. These offers will
come to you in the mail and most offers you can apply for online.
. The next thing I want you to do is sign up at Credit Karma because not only will this site notify
you as your new lines of credit post, but it will also suggest credit cards to you and give you
your odds of approval, which is useful.
. Another trick I learned is to apply for more department store cards issued by the same bank if
you have been approved once. They probably will approve you again, and Synchrony Bank &
Comenity Bank are great about this. They issue cards for Toys R Us, J C Penny, Banana
Republic, Express Next, Big Lots, Pier One Imports & many more.

THE CREDIT APPLICATION SECRET


When you fill out an application online or at the mall, a computer algorithm will approve or deny you.
Your approval and the terms will be based on several things. A number of different things are
evaluated before giving you an approval and a limit.
They consider how much money you make, how long you have been at your job, how long you lived
at your current residence among other things
Youare assigned a certain number of points, based on how you answer each question on your
application. Certain answers get more points; therefore, your odds of approval will increase if you
use the best possible answers.
The following information is what scores the highest on an application.
● Annual Income: $50,000-$80,000
● Time at current address: 5 Years or more
● Time on the Job: 5 years or more
● Checking and Savings account: Choosing both scores higher
● Own a home or Rent: Owning Scores Higher
● Monthly housing payments: $500-$700 scores highest
You can see they are looking for stability. They are looking for someone who has been at the same
job, lived in the same place, and makes a decent amount of money Most people have no clue this
stuff matters, but it does. Now, you have the knowledge to tilt the odds in your favor, once again.
One last tip about this; make sure you use the same information for all Credit Card Applications. Be
Consistent.
PHASE 3: GET APPROVED FOR UNSECURED CREDIT CARDS
STEP 1- APPLY FOR A DEPARTMENT STORE CARD:
Here, you will apply for 2 of the 4 suggested unsecured department store cards. I am suggesting
the following three cards, based on odds of approval from my experience.
. JC Penny
. Walmart
. Macys
. Express
Once you secure two of these cards, your journey is COMPLETE!
NOW.… LETS PUT IT TO THE TEST!
Apply for a Major Credit Card: Here, you will go for your first major unsecured credit card. Barclays
Bank, Capital One, Discover, Amex, etc.
Before you apply:
. Make sure all your tradelines have posted.
. Make sure you have not made any late payments.
. Make sure you have not had any new collections hit your report.
. Make sure you have no new public records or charge-offs.
Now... Go to creditkarma.com and apply for one of the major credit cards suggested to you with
"Good" odds of approval.
Pick a card, apply, and send me an email once you are approved!t
