I want to talk about that in this video. So continue watching The problem is there are so many things happening around us right now People are doing so much stuff. One of my friends started a gaming channel on YouTube. He's making $40,000 a month and I'm like, maybe I should start a gaming channel and then another friend is selling iPhones He's from Russia he brings iPhones from the States sells them double price in Russia makes a lot of money and Then you're like maybe I should do the same because that brings so much money But the thing is you have to listen to yourself. Like if you try to copy somebody This is not gonna last maybe you will be Successful for a couple months and then you're gonna be fed up with what's going on in my case I think I started in an industry that is not really big like I study abroad industry in America Please don't understand study abroad industry when I talk to our first investors When I talked to our first investors, they were like do people even learn languages? And I'm like yes they do Yes, we do The thing is because I'm so passionate about what I do and if you guys are new to this channel I started a company called LinguaTrip.com it's a study abroad booking platform because study abroad changed my life and I knew What kind of impact it had on me and I wanted to spread that among Thousands of students and millions of students all over the world And the thing is when you realize what you want to do, everything is so natural I also had a problem figuring out what I want to do because I Started learning English and I was like, wow English is such a big passion maybe I should become a translator and I'm so grateful my parents stepped in when I was 17 because I was determined to go to university and study English as a main subject and then my mom stepped in and she's like Okay, Marina, if you see yourself in America later, what why would you study English? You should learn another skill and English would be a medium and this is kind of how I came to study abroad because I realized I want to help people study languages quick tips on how To find out what is really yours first What really works me with all of the channels that I've started in youtube? I was trying to figure out what people ask me the most like you sit down with your friends. What do they ask you? I was constantly asked about how to immigrate to the States. Right now I'm asked like all the time You start a YouTube channel. How do you build your influence?
