And here's how I did it.

這是我成功的故事。

I've created over 300 different kinds of slimes.

我創作了超過 300 種史萊姆。

I make around 10 gallons of slime a day.

我每天大約會做 10 加侖的史萊姆。

Since I've started, I sold around 100,000 slimes in total.

自創業以來，我總共賣出約十萬個史萊姆。

I ship it all over the world.

它們被送往世界各地。

When I told my parents I want to start a slime business,

當我告訴父母，我想賣史萊姆時，

they thought I was crazy and they said no, but I did anyways.

他們以為我瘋了，叫我不要這麼做，但我還是做了。

Typical.

典型。

Today, we're making a white blue flame slime, which is a super crunchy and colorful slime that makes amazing bubble pops and crunches.

今天，我們要製作藍白火焰史萊姆，一種超級脆的彩色史萊姆，可以弄出很棒的氣泡和嘎吱聲。

We're gonna be making two gallons of slime,

我們要製作兩加侖的史萊姆，

so I have to use two gallons of glue.

得用兩加侖膠水。

Then, you pick out your sense, your colors, and then you add your activator.

接著，挑出想要的味道、顏色，然後加催化劑。

Today, I'm feeling like a blue cotton candy type of scent.

今天，我想做藍色棉花糖那種味到的。

Each week, we spend around $800 on supplies, which is like, glue, sense, clay, sprinkles.

每週，我們大約要在備品上花 800 美元，像膠水、香精、粘土和彩色糖粒等材料。

And some of my slimes, we have secret ingredients, but I can't show you those today.

我們的一些史萊姆有加秘密配方，但不能跟大家說。

I work every single day, all seven days a week.

我全年無休。

I try to take breaks, but it's really hard.

我有試著休息，但很難找到時間。

Once your slime is formed, you can add in a bunch of add-ins.

史萊姆成形後，就可以加入很多配料。

There's sprinkles, charms, foam beads like we're using today.

像彩色糖粒、小飾品，還有我們今天用到的保麗龍顆粒。

You can honestly do anything.

想怎麼搭配都行。

The possibilities are endless.

組合有無限可能的。

Sometimes I'll get an idea in the middle of the night, and I just wake up out of my sleep,

有時候半夜來靈感時，我就會直接起來，

and I'm like, I have to make this slime.

我會想： 「一定得把這個史萊姆做出來。」

This is one.

就像這個。

You can definitely tell that I wrote it in my sleep because it doesn't make any sense.

很明顯看得出這是在睡夢中寫的，因為這簡直是胡言亂語。

Each batch of slime makes around 50 to 100 jars, depending on how big the batch is.

每批史萊姆可製成約 50 到 100 罐，具體取決於批次的多寡。

If you get slime in your hair, you can just use hot water, it'll melt right back into glue.

如果頭髮沾到史萊姆，可以用熱水，它會馬上融回膠狀。

Learned that the hard way.

這是我的血淚教訓。

I sell around 1000 slimes each week and each slime is priced around $12-16.

我每週大約可售出 1000 個史萊姆，每個價格在 12-16 美元左右。

My favorite slime, personally, is cereal milk.

我自己最喜歡的是「牛奶麥片」。

It's been selling out every single week.

這款每週都銷售一空。

I love making slime.

我愛製作史萊姆。

I love playing with the big batches.

我很喜歡製作大量史萊姆。

Now they made our slime,

現在史萊姆做好了，

it's time to make an ASMR with it because that's what my followers love.

是時候來拍 ASMR 影片了，我的追蹤者最喜歡這個了。

ASMR is short for Autonomous sensory meridian response,

ASMR 是指的是「自發性知覺神經反應」

and it is basically the sensation that some people get when they watch slime videos.

基本上就是人們透過觀看史萊姆影片獲得快感。

They find it stress relieving and anxiety relieving.

大家覺得這些影片很舒壓，能緩解焦慮。

I know that I find it very satisfying.

至少我覺得很舒壓。

I like to make sure there's a good variety of noises.

我喜歡確保史萊姆能弄出各種各樣的聲音。

So, I want to make sure there's pokes, there's bubble pops, and there's crunches.

我希望它們能製造出嘎吱聲、氣泡破掉的聲音，還有酥脆的聲音。

This is a crunch.

酥脆的聲音是這樣。

My business really started to take off back in 2017 when I started my YouTube channel.

2017 年，開設 YouTube 頻道後，我的生意才真正起飛。

The most views I've ever gotten on a video was, I think, seven million and it was on Tiktok.

我的最高觀看數是 700 萬，是在 Tiktok 上的影片。

Making these a ASMR videos is basically like marketing because you're showing the product before people buy it.

製作這些 ASMR 影片基本上就是種營銷，能在人們購買前像他們展示商品。

So they basically know what they're gonna get.

讓客戶知道自己會拿到怎樣的產品。

I do not really like slime, but I have a few ones that I don't mind touching.

我不太喜歡史萊姆，但我有幾個我還可以接受的。

Pretty much everybody in this family gets stuck in the slime business except for my brother, he somehow stayed out of it.

我們家幾乎每個人都被捲入這個史萊姆事業了，除了我弟。

He's dodged it.

他逃過一劫。

As a child, I was very entrepreneurial.

對小孩來說，我很有創業精神。

I first heard about slime when I was browsing through Instagram back in 2016.

我在 2016 年滑 IG 時，第一次聽說史萊姆。

One day, I was going to target with my mom and we found this blue glitter glue.

一天，和媽媽一起去目標百貨時，我們發現了這種藍色亮片黏液。

That night I came home and made slime with it and I ended up posting it to Instagram.

那天晚上我回到家，用它做了史萊姆，然後發到了 IG 上。

My first sale was to one of my friends, but I don't think he ever paid me.

我賣出的第一個史萊姆是賣給我一個朋友，但他其實沒付錢。

So... If he's watching this, you owe me like $4.

所以... 如果你現在正在看，你欠我四美元。

It's time to post it to my Instagram to get people excited.

是時候發佈到 IG 上讓大家興奮起來了。

I worked super hard on my social media profiles.

我很用心經營社群媒體。

I have 600,000 followers on Instagram.

我在 IG 上有 60 萬名粉絲。

We just got an order for Cotton Candy Skies.

剛接到一筆「藍色棉花糖天空」的訂單。

I sell some of my merch on my website.

我也會在網站上賣一些其他商品。

I sell hoodies and phone cases, and face masks, and socks, and T shirts.

我有賣帽踢、手機殼、口罩、襪子和踢恤。

I definitely earned more from slime than merch.

但還是史萊姆賣比較好。

Someone bought it and they posted it.

有人買了，然後發文了。

The quickest I've ever sold out during a restock was only one minute, that was back in 2018.

我重新補貨的最快售罄時間只有一分鐘，那是在 2018 年。

In the future, I would love to open up my own slime warehouse, where I can have people come into the warehouse and buy slimes in person.

未來，我想開一間自己的史萊姆批發店，讓大家可以親自來買史萊姆。

I feel so grateful to be able to run a business at 17.

我很感激能在 17 歲就自己經營一間公司。

I love the fact that I'm earning money from something that brings people joy.

很開心我賣的產品能給人們帶來歡樂。
