How a young entrepreneur nearly doubled his income pursuing a side hustle full-time.

In 2023, Roblero found more clients and started making money from car detailing videos posted on his YouTube channel. He's on track to bring in about $77,000 — nearly double the $41,000 he earned at his old job.Roblero was born in Bailey, North Carolina, but has lived in West Palm Beach, Florida, for most of his life.

In high school, after"a lot of begging," Randy's father bought him a used 2006 Nissan Altima. He bought some all-purpose cleaner, microfiber towels, brushes and a Shop-Vac and,"I just started cleaning it inside and outside — all the nooks and crannies — making it look as good as possible.

In May 2020, he decided to go for it. He spent $2,500 from his savings on a trailer and supplies, then set up Instagram, Facebook and Google My Business accounts to advertise his company.During the first few months, about a quarter of Roblero's customers were friends or family, while the rest were people who discovered the company through its social media accounts.

"Basically, I took a leap of faith and went full-time with car detailing," says Roblero."If I wasn't going to do it then, I was never going to do it."
