Aw, Phooey! From Sneakers to Sports Cards: This Gal's Raking in the Dough!

No College? No Problem! Says Who?

Well hello there folks! Donald Duck here reporting live from… uh… my houseboat! Seems this Dakota Peters a Florida gal wasn't so sure about college. 'Aw phooey!' I say to that! But get this instead of hitting the books she decided to hit the real world. Her sisters taught her a thing or two. And you know what? It worked! Sometimes real world experience is just as good as a diploma or at least that's what Huey Dewey and Louie tell me when they skip school to play with their Junior Woodchucks manual. Hmph!

Sneakers Today Sports Cards Tomorrow! What's Next?

So Dakota starts selling sneakers online. Not bad not bad at all! But then BAM! She discovers this 'Whatnot' app. Sounds like something Goofy would come up with right? Gwarsh! Apparently it's all about streaming and selling. She sees folks unboxing sports cards and thinks 'Hmm I can do that!' And boy does she ever! It's like that time I tried to be a magician – only she actually made money!

Million Dollar Rookie?! She's Quacking!

Hold on to your hats folks! This Achickrips company of hers raked in over a MILLION DOLLARS in the first year! A million! I could buy a whole mountain of… uh… duck food! And now? They're pulling in over a million *per week*. That's more money than Scrooge McDuck swims in! And you KNOW he's got a lot!

Stream On! From Dusk Till Dawn

She started streaming at the strangest hours 10 p.m. to 2 a.m. to avoid competition. 'Smart thinking!' I quack. She would stream from dusk till dawn and made some serious money but it was an exhausting 24 hour shift every day. Building connections with sellers ensured the cards she received were top notch.

From Solo Duck to Full Flock!

With all that moolah coming in she started hiring! Now she's got over 40 employees! Forty! That's like a whole army of nephews! They're sorting shipping and even streaming. She's got channels selling everything from football to basketball to baseball cards. And now Thrift clothes and coins. Talk about diversifying! I tried that once with my garden… ended up with more weeds than vegetables. ARRRGH!

Wi Fi Woes and Sleeve Shortages? DuckTales No More!

Dakota stepped away from streaming herself. Seems she's now the big cheese putting out fires and making sure the whole operation runs smoothly. 'Wi Fi down? Get it fixed!' 'Running out of card sleeves? Order more!' Sounds like my life trying to keep Huey Dewey and Louie out of trouble! She wants to expand to YouTube too. Seems like this duck's got big plans! Five years ago she didn't even know about Whatnot. Now she can't imagine doing anything else. Well I can't imagine doing anything else besides relaxing in my hammock but that's just me! Quack quack!
