Success certainly has its charms. We all know and want it just as much as the next person. It is equally appealing as is it difficult to get, and some would say only the very luckiest of people will ever have the chance to make it BIG. However one idea, hard work and some money is all that it takes for some people. Reality star Kylie Jenner, was merely a ten-year-old child when she debuted in her family’s reality TV show and had no idea that her life will take such a quick turn in the finance, fame and cosmetic looks department. It all started with her infinite love for lipsticks ever since she was a child. The money she had been saving up for about ten years from her family reality show Keeping Up With The Kardashians.
Talk about taking the right steps at the right time. She put her investment and her dream to make interesting and commercial lipsticks or should i say “lip kits” and all the other cosmetics that are used add to her range and growing bank balance.
Initially, Kylie only put a lip kit out to the market but much to her surprise, the first wave of the online selling crashed the website and made over $300 Million sales in the first year. The product only consisted of matching lip liners and interesting lip shades which is why she named her company Kylie Lip Kip but later after two years of such incredible sales and an exponential fan base, she turned the brand name into Kylie Cosmetics finally looking forward to doing more makeup products for the future. All of this fame and success had a couple of things behind it, her fame ever since she was a child and the right people to help her through i.e. her family. She has her mom Kris Jenner as her manager and she uses the term “momager” for her mom who gets paid 10% of her total income.
But the questions stands how did she manage to create a massive empire all through just one cosmetic product such as a lip kit? Here’s is how she made it on the cover of Forbes a year after her brand blew up the internet at the age of just 21.
1. The Power of Social Media
Over the years, all Kylie did was maintain an incredible personality on Instagram and Snapchat. Yes, it is unbelievable but that is all she did for the most part. Currently, she has 121.3 million followers on Instagram making her the land on number 8 in the list of top ten most followed accounts on Instagram.
2. Fame From Debut Years
Using her family fame brought to her through a TV reality show called Keeping Up With The Kardashians as leverage allowed her to become known world wide from a super young age which gave her a lot of time to gain the trust and admiration of her fans and followers over the years allowing them to see how fast and beautiful she has grown.
3. Fan Base & Honesty
With her huge fan base straight from Instagram and Snapchat only did she manage to land a very surprising rate of sales on the first release. However, she took the honest way out and later admitted to having used lip fillers so she could model for her self-made product of lip kits and now other cosmetics too which only showed her dedication to working hard to make high-end quality products for her fans and follower internationally. No one minded since it has become more mainstream to use minor facial surgeries and it only enhanced her looks making her appear prettier than ever.
Not every teen at the age of just 20 has 215,000 million in their pocket but it is easy to lose such money especially when you are young and rich. However, Kylie Jenner put her long forgotten dream into reality with all the right tactics and finally becoming one of the youngest entrepreneurs in the world.
