How to Stop Stinking: A Gen Z Guide to Freshness Hacks and Making Money Online

Every day, thousands of Gen Zs are secretly typing “how to stop stinking” into Google and TikTok. They’re embarrassed, desperate, and willing to try anything. But here’s the secret: most advice online is boring or free. That’s where you come in—and your wallet gets heavy.

Step 1: Build the Perfect “Solution” Funnel

• What to do: Create a low-content website or TikTok account promising a magical “freshness hack” or “scent-proof secrets.”
• Manipulative angle: Use social proof. Even fake testimonials work. Gen Z trusts peer recommendations more than adults.
• Monetization: Plug in affiliate links to deodorants, sprays, supplements, or even “premium guides.” Every click could earn you $5–$50.

Step 2: Capture Their Desperation

• Offer a “free” PDF or TikTok video series with clickbait titles:

  • “Stop Stinking in 24 Hours (Secret Hack Nobody Tells You)”
  • “Gen Z’s Ultimate Anti-Stink Method”

• Collect emails or social handles to retarget them with paid guides, subscriptions, or products.

Step 3: Upsell Fake Scarcity

• Make products seem exclusive: “Only 50 kits left!” or “Limited Gen Z edition.”
• Use free + paid model: Free tip video leads to a $19.99 “full guide” or $49 “super deodorant kit.”
• Bonus: Leverage urgency and shame—they already feel bad, so fear of missing out works.

Step 4: Leverage Trends

• TikTok is gold. Short, punchy content using trending sounds and hashtags (#stinky, #GenZProblems, #FreshLife).
• Repost user-submitted “fail” stories (real or staged) to drive virality.
• Each viral post feeds affiliate sales or your paid guide funnel.

Step 5: Scale Like a Pro

• Create multiple “stop stinking” funnels targeting:

  • Teens
  • College students
  • Gym-goers

• Each niche has slightly different products or guides to sell.

• Automate emails, TikTok posting, and affiliate links. Once the funnel is live, you earn while you sleep.

Why This Works

• Gen Z is desperate: They search constantly, yet solutions are under-served.
• Emotion-driven purchases: Embarrassment + FOMO = money in your pocket.
• Scalable: One viral TikTok or Google snippet can generate hundreds of dollars daily.

Tools You’ll Need

Expected Earnings

• Viral TikTok post with affiliate products: $50–$500/day
• Email funnel with upsell guides: $100–$1,000/month
• Multiple niches scaled: $2K–$10K/month

Pro tip: Gen Z will buy anything that promises social acceptance. Position yourself as the “freshness guru” and watch clicks, views, and cash roll in.
