What makes a successful social media influencer stand out among the others? It is how they understand the social media algorithm and use their creativity accordingly that increases their reach and makes them more money. This woman did the same exact thing and is now making big money out of a bizarre side hustle – selling ear wax!
Yes, you read that right. This woman, named Latisha Jones, has found a unique niche for her business and people are paying a fortune for it. She has turned something icky and unpleasant into something that’s in demand. Now, her ear wax has become a primary source of her income the Internet is shocked! Latisha, who goes by the handle name @LatieshaJoness1 on TikTok, has turned a taboo into a profitable business. She cleans her ears as a daily routine not just to maintain hygiene but to maintain her pocket too. She has turned a process that’s equal parts satisfying and disgusting into a side hustle.
Recently, a video of the woman went viral on TikTok. In the video, Latisha confidently demonstrates her ear-cleaning procedure wherein she uses a cotton bud or a Q-tip to clean her ears. Later, she seals the used earbud in a clear plastic bag paired with a signed card. Apparently, Latisha sends this to the customers who are willing to pay for it. As gross as it may sound, she is making around £85 a pop, and that too from such a low-effort job. The woman is capitalizing on this bizarre trend and the entire incident has captured the attention of millions of netizens. Her videos are going viral with billions of views on both TikTok and YouTube.
When Latisha realized that the gross and mundane act of cleaning ear wax seemed engaging and oddly satisfying to billions of people around the world, she decided to make the most out of this entertainment spectacle. While various unconventional ‘businesses’ like selling feet pictures keep going viral on the Internet every now and then, Jones has turned this seemingly unpleasant ‘job’ into a profitable business and she can even club it with her 9-5 if she wants.
