Joal kicked off the conversation by sharing his impressive metrics. In just 90 days, he racked up over $400,000 in gross merchandise value (GMV), with a projection of reaching nearly $500,000 shortly thereafter. Initially working in construction as a civil engineer, Joal took a leap of faith by quitting his stable job to pursue content creation. He had a financial buffer, having saved up for six months, which gave him confidence in his decision, but the risk was still monumental.

This led him to explore drop shipping, which ultimately evolved into a successful affiliate marketing venture on TikTok.
