Justin Mueller – Serial Entrepreneur

How does Justin make money online?

Justin has made money online in various ways.

He’s probably best known as an affiliate marketer and forex trader, having posted many videos on those topics on his YouTube channel.

As an affiliate marketer, Justin recommends products and services to his audience online and collects a commission for every successful referral.

As a forex trader, Justin buys and sells currencies and earns a profit if he can sell a currency for more than he paid for it.

A few other ways Justin has earned money online:

• Revenue from ads on his YouTube videos
• Dropshipping
• Selling merch (eg. hats for his PipsAhoy brand)
• Running forexsimulator.com, a SaaS business.
• Selling his own online courses (eg. Video50k)
• Consulting

How much money does Justin make?

It’s unclear how much Justin earns per month as an affiliate marketer, but in a July 2018 video he claimed to have already earned more than $100,000 as an affiliate at only 21 years of age…

Judging from the links in the description of his YouTube videos, these are some of the companies he’s an affiliate for:

• Motor Club of America
• Morning Brew newsletter
• OspreyFX

Justin showed in a December 2019 video that he earned $31,224 profit in a little more than two months trading forex…

In a June 2019 video, Justin showed that he earned about $183 per month the previous year from YouTube ad revenue…

Justin only had about 8.5k subscribers to his channel at the time, according to Social Blade. As of this writing, he has more than 65k subscribers, so he’s surely earning much more from YouTube ads now.

In an October 2018 video, Justin reported earning $1000 dropshipping bracelets that convert to a smartphone charger…

I haven’t seen numbers for Justin’s other income streams, but he lists his consulting fee as $200/hour.

How did Justin get started?

Justin mentions in the affiliate marketing video above that one of his first entrepreneurial ventures was selling iPhone cases to other students at his high school, apparently earning $1000 in his first month.

Sounds like his first big money-maker online was affiliate marketing, but it’s unclear where he learned how to do that.
