Speaker 1: High Scrollers is produced on gadigul Land.
Speaker 2: We pay our respects to the traditional custodians of this country.
Speaker 2: An elder's past and present.
Speaker 1: Always was, always will be Aboriginal Land.
Speaker 2: Well, this week on the main episode, it was one
Speaker 2: of those days when we just went absolutely everywhere all
Speaker 2: over the shop and there was one thing that I
Speaker 2: wanted to mention just because it's kind of topical right now,
Speaker 2: that I wanted to talk about in the main episode
Speaker 2: but forgot about, and I think it's worth mentioning.
Speaker 3: Now.
Speaker 2: I've discovered this lady on TikTok called Caroline.
Speaker 3: I think it's always never Caroline.
Speaker 2: I never know, but there's no e at the end.
Speaker 2: It's it's with a y, so it's c A r
Speaker 2: L y N. That gives me Caroline.
Speaker 4: Caroline's that's Carolyn, not Caroline, right, caloa.
Speaker 2: So she is from Australia and I don't know if
Speaker 2: you've seen her pop up on your for you page.
Speaker 3: Yes, she wanted to.
Speaker 2: She's got a goal of one hundred K in one
Speaker 2: hundred days. Yes, and her first video kind of popped
Speaker 2: up because one of the videos has kind of gone
Speaker 2: viral and she got I'm just trying to find that video.
Speaker 1: Now maybe it's pinned.
Speaker 3: It might be pinned.
Speaker 1: Yeah, no it's not because I commented on it and
Speaker 1: said I'm invested.
Speaker 2: Okay, oh yeah, okay, sorry, I didn't even go viral.
Speaker 2: It don't got thirty k views. I mean that's still
Speaker 2: a great amount of views, but I thought it did
Speaker 2: a lot more than that. Anyway, Yes, you said I'm invested,
Speaker 2: and Carolyn said, I followed you on ig for ages
Speaker 2: and love your content, big fan of your pit bullsh
Speaker 2: and andigains. Just letting you know this personal goal is
Speaker 2: one hundred percent fueled by ADHD delusional, so there's no
Speaker 2: real plan, just blind faith. And her bio says powered
Speaker 2: by ADHD, autism and midlife and she says she's on
Speaker 2: a midlife side quest to get one hundred K in
Speaker 2: one hundred days, hundred thousand dollars in one hundred days.
Speaker 4: Which, by the way, Carolyn, because I'm sure this episode
Speaker 4: will make its way back to you. That first video
Speaker 4: that you did that's got thirty one thousand views, Pin
Speaker 4: that to your TikTok because you want people to see
Speaker 4: that as soon as they come on your profile. So
Speaker 4: what do you think of her earning one hundred grand
Speaker 4: in one hundred days.
Speaker 2: Well, I think that that's a crazy goal but not unachievable, right,
Speaker 2: It's a big, big amount of money.
Speaker 1: What would you do if you were her?
Speaker 4: Because I saw she's released like two digital products, Uh huh,
Speaker 4: because that's.
Speaker 1: Like an easy thing to do to get started. But
Speaker 1: what would you do if you were her?
Speaker 2: Yeah, So basically the first thing that she's done is
Speaker 2: she has been creating content for however long I'm not
Speaker 2: really sure, but she wants to help people in the
Speaker 2: same space as her, in the same age bracket as her,
Speaker 2: and you know, the midlife people who want to make
Speaker 2: content and create content and things like that. So she's
Speaker 2: doing two different kind of online courses to help people
Speaker 2: do that, which I think is smart. I think if
Speaker 2: I wanted to make one hundred thousand dollars in one
Speaker 2: hundred days, that obviously you break it down, that's like
Speaker 2: one thousand dollars a day, and obviously some days you
Speaker 2: might want to make more and other days you might
Speaker 2: want to make less. But I think to make a
Speaker 2: thousand dollars a day, like I'd have to be doing,
Speaker 2: I'd be collecting the bloody cans and doing return and earn,
Speaker 2: Like yeah, I reckon, I.
Speaker 4: Would be going to garage sales and buying stuffing stuff.
Speaker 4: I'd be going to garage sales and like buying heaps
Speaker 4: of clothes and putting them on like deep pop or
Speaker 4: eBay or whatever. Like, I'd be doing that for sure.
Speaker 4: I'd be flipping.
Speaker 3: Yes, selling all the old stuff and be having a
Speaker 3: garage cell.
Speaker 1: Yep, have a garage helle fucking clear.
Speaker 2: Out go to garage sales? Do people still have garage
Speaker 2: sales marketplace?
Speaker 5: I reckon?
Speaker 1: There was such a thing when we were kids.
Speaker 2: We used to go around all day on a Saturday
Speaker 2: round all my mum would go on because you'd have
Speaker 2: it in the paper and she'd cut out all the
Speaker 2: highlight all of the garagels and right, we'll start there,
Speaker 2: and then there's that one two streets away, and they
Speaker 2: can go there, and then we can stop there for lunch,
Speaker 2: and then we'll go there, and then three streets from
Speaker 2: that bun and then we'll just park the car there
Speaker 2: and we'll walk these ones and we haven't.
Speaker 1: Bring back the garage sale.
Speaker 5: Please.
Speaker 2: Well, I think like people are crazy these days though,
Speaker 2: you know, like why would you want people coming into
Speaker 2: your garage and looking on all your stuff.
Speaker 3: True, I'd be like, nah, don't look at my house,
Speaker 3: go away. You know.
Speaker 4: Actually this that makes me think of something that we
Speaker 4: can talk about right now on the same sort of
Speaker 4: topic that I have written in our note. Things that
Speaker 4: we used to do back in the day that we
Speaker 4: just don't do now for whatever reason. First of all,
Speaker 4: garage sales, Yes, because people are not as trustworthy.
Speaker 1: You can't just have people walking around.
Speaker 3: And not many people have cash anymore. True, so you know,
Speaker 3: because you just, oh, how much is that? I've only
Speaker 3: got two dollars?
Speaker 2: There?
Speaker 3: You go like, I don't know the last time I
Speaker 3: saw a two dollar coin.
Speaker 4: Another thing that we used to do when we were
Speaker 4: kids that I don't think people do now. Remember when
Speaker 4: you would just leave your spare key out just under
Speaker 4: the most obvious rock out the front of your house.
Speaker 1: Why did we used to do that?
Speaker 2: We weren't allowed to. That wasn't sa I think we did.
Speaker 2: But yeah, I know a lot of people did, or
Speaker 2: under the mat or whatever, literally.
Speaker 4: In the most like, what's the point of hiding your
Speaker 4: spare key under the mat?
Speaker 1: Just put it on top?
Speaker 2: Yeah, But no, we were never allowed to do that security.
Speaker 2: That's where I got my security thing from. We were
Speaker 2: never allowed to have a spare key.
Speaker 1: We never had a spare key because who was at four?
Speaker 4: But you know, just going to other people's house or
Speaker 4: the spare keys just under that little rock.
Speaker 1: That really obvious rock.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, one.
Speaker 4: What are some other things that we used to do
Speaker 4: that we would never I feel like kids having like
Speaker 4: a little stall set up out the front, like selling something.
Speaker 1: I don't really see that anymore.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I feel like a lot of the other things
Speaker 2: as well, like a garage sale.
Speaker 3: I think.
Speaker 2: Sorry, going back to garrot sales is the other thing
Speaker 2: you got to think about if someone trips on your
Speaker 2: drive and hurts themselves like they're still when you have
Speaker 2: for everything you worth now, like you'd have to have
Speaker 2: public liab but lety insurance to do a garage sale
Speaker 2: these surely, you know, because that's another thing. You don't
Speaker 2: want to take the risk of someone.
Speaker 1: Hurting themselves on purpose.
Speaker 3: Yeah. True. Other things that we used to do with
Speaker 3: don't anymore.
Speaker 1: Playing murder in the dark in the streets when your.
Speaker 3: Kids, really I don't think I did that.
Speaker 1: We did, or just like playing outside after it was dark.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I wasn't allowed to do that.
Speaker 5: No.
Speaker 3: Again, different childhoods, you know, my parents care.
Speaker 2: As that came out of my mother, I was like,
Speaker 2: that's not what I meant. But like my mom would
Speaker 2: be like, there's no way, because my mum would be going,
Speaker 2: you're not going out after dark?
Speaker 3: Someone will kidnap you. Yeah, okay, whereas your mum was like.
Speaker 2: Fucking guy, Brittany, damn, someone will take you and good
Speaker 2: because one year.
Speaker 4: Wait have we spoken Yeah, we've already spoken about it
Speaker 4: on the pop before when we ran away when we
Speaker 4: were kids.
Speaker 1: Did you ever run away?
Speaker 2: Yes, A packed a bloody bag, put it on the
Speaker 2: stick over my shoulder like a big drama, got two
Speaker 2: houses down and went fuck this.
Speaker 1: Actually, Oh I ran away one time and got a
Speaker 1: few k's.
Speaker 3: Oh really, yeah you did a peanut.
Speaker 4: Yeah, And then like I was I don't even I
Speaker 4: don't even know if I had a bag with me,
Speaker 4: but I was walking and I got a few k's
Speaker 4: and I was crying and walking and then like my
Speaker 4: dad's friend saw me like on a street and stopped
Speaker 4: and said, what the fuck are you doing here?
Speaker 1: Get in the car and took me home. I got.
Speaker 2: You can't even run away probably, I know, how embarrassing,
Speaker 2: but also fucking lucky, Like what was I thinking?
Speaker 1: Yeah, I would have been ten.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's so funny.
Speaker 2: Anyway, I thought i'd give Carolyn the shout out because
Speaker 2: I thought we once did an episode on Big Business,
Speaker 2: right about how small business working with influencers. Yes, and
Speaker 2: you know, we were talking about the fact that it's
Speaker 2: really hard for small businesses to break into influences because
Speaker 2: you know, most people are earning thousands and thousands of
Speaker 2: dollars from big you know, billion dollar companies around the
Speaker 2: world who are paying like, you know, some of the
Speaker 2: companies that I work with are paying thousands of dollars
Speaker 2: to work with me. So if a candle business comes
Speaker 2: to me and says, Hi, I've got one hundred dollars
Speaker 2: to do a post, can.
Speaker 3: You do it?
Speaker 2: I'm going to politely decline your offer because I've got
Speaker 2: other people paying a lot more so small businesses. We
Speaker 2: did a whole episode on Big Business about it during
Speaker 2: the twelve Days of Big Business last year, And I
Speaker 2: think like, this is a good opportunity for win win,
Speaker 2: because imagine being the first brand to jump on board
Speaker 2: with Carolyn and get her to do a sponsored post
Speaker 2: for you.
Speaker 4: Well, I even thought about that with fail. Could I
Speaker 4: get Carolyn to do an ad for Failure?
Speaker 2: I should, because you've been the first brand on board.
Speaker 2: Would be good Brownie points exactly. But also you're contributing
Speaker 2: to her.
Speaker 1: And I'll tell you another.
Speaker 4: Thing that Carolyne could do is she could obviously reach
Speaker 4: out to a shit ton of small businesses and say, look,
Speaker 4: I'm doing this thing on TikTok, I'm wanting to earn
Speaker 4: one hundred grand I want to work with you.
Speaker 1: And she could ask some businesses as.
Speaker 4: Well if they would be willing to do an affiliate
Speaker 4: code with her. So she could, you know, let's say
Speaker 4: work with Fate just as an example, and like we
Speaker 4: could pay her X amount for the post. But if
Speaker 4: she wanted to really give it a crack to make
Speaker 4: even more money is do an affiliate code where she
Speaker 4: has a code Carolyne ten, Fate whatever, and every time
Speaker 4: she gets a sale through that code, we then promise
Speaker 4: her a percentage of the sales. Because that could be
Speaker 4: good for her to do affiliate She can also make
Speaker 4: an Amazon storefront and do that. I would like Carolyn
Speaker 4: if you also we're just calling you Carolyn. I'm so
Speaker 4: sorry if it's Caroline.
Speaker 2: But her user name, by the way, which I didn't mention,
Speaker 2: is life Underscore of Underscore Carolyn, if you want to
Speaker 2: go and have it and have a look at what
Speaker 2: she's doing on TikTok.
Speaker 4: Because another thing I would do if I was hurt
Speaker 4: would be I would try, like I have products that
Speaker 4: I religiously use from Amazon. You could try to make
Speaker 4: some viral videos with those products on TikTok and then
Speaker 4: like having the caption like linked in my Amazon storefront
Speaker 4: and try to make a bit of commission from those
Speaker 4: Amazon products.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's what I mean.
Speaker 2: I'd just be doing like all those little things because
Speaker 2: it's the little things like that, Yeah, that add up
Speaker 2: really quickly, and if you do enough of those, like
Speaker 2: suddenly you know you've two hundred dollars and there's two
Speaker 2: two hundred dollars towards your goal right in one day. Right,
Speaker 2: So anyway, best of like to Carolin, I will be
Speaker 2: following along and you can all go and follow along
Speaker 2: as well, because I think it's a huge goal and
Speaker 2: it will, like I say this with love, it'll be
Speaker 2: really surprising. But I hope that motivates her more to
Speaker 2: prove me wrong. But I also am rooting for her
Speaker 2: at the same time, like I go, WHOA, that's a
Speaker 2: big thing to achieve and I don't know if she's
Speaker 2: going to get there. But at the same time, I go,
Speaker 2: I really hope she does get there, because how amazing,
Speaker 2: how funny, how fun.
Speaker 3: Is that going to be to watch?
Speaker 2: And you don't know, like if we get all the
Speaker 2: scrollers to go over and have a look at what
Speaker 2: she's doing, follow and comment and get invested in it,
Speaker 2: you know, maybe one of these big, big brands will
Speaker 2: pay her ten grand and there's ten percent of her
Speaker 2: goal done.
Speaker 1: I have won adice for her.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I saw a video yesterday.
Speaker 4: I think it was after she had done the first
Speaker 4: video that got for thirty thousand views. Did you see
Speaker 4: the video where she said a management company reached out
Speaker 4: to her and want to sign her to get brand deals.
Speaker 1: In the video, she was saying, like, I'm going to
Speaker 1: sign with them, Carolyn, just be careful, Yeah, be.
Speaker 3: Careful, She followed me back. I might message her actually.
Speaker 4: About yeah, be careful, Like having a management agency is good,
Speaker 4: but you can get yourself stuck.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and you could sign with them.
Speaker 4: No offense to management companies out there, but they could
Speaker 4: sign you up and be like, yeah, we want to
Speaker 4: support you. Then boom, you're in a locked in three
Speaker 4: year contract and they never get you a job. But
Speaker 4: because you're signed with them, there might be a clause
Speaker 4: in there that says you can't do anything of your
Speaker 4: own outside of this agreement. So just be careful with that, Carolyn,
Speaker 4: protect yourself. Send us the contract before you sign it.
Speaker 2: Best to like, Carolyn, we're bloody rooting for you girl.
Speaker 2: We'll see you next Tuesday.
