How did Josh King “JetSet” Madrid get his start?
In 2016, JetSet dropped out of college to focus on scaling his online businesses. With the eCommerce trend emerging, he saw an opportunity to sell products online and capitalize on the profits with minimal set-up costs. He didn’t have to buy stock he hadn’t already sold, so he ventured into affiliate marketing and began building his personal brand. By 2017, he was hosting dozens of entrepreneurial seminars across the nation.
By late 2017, just one year after he’d dropped out of the University of California, Irvine, his business was already seeing monthly revenue in the six-figures. He was also gaining hundreds of thousands of followers across his social media platforms, most notably Instagram and Snapchat.
He is most recognized for being one of the early Gen Z digital marketing pioneers to popularize the idea of dropping out of college to pursue business and personal branding as early as 2016. He built a sizable following by spending tens of thousands of dollars a month on Instagram shoutouts and, in the process, turned himself into something of a laptop-lifestyle symbol by posting captivating, near-daily business travel content. His personal brand has led him to consulting and public speaking gigs with companies such as Virgin, Adidas, and Apple.
Josh King Madrid’s net worth has been estimated to have increased from $2 million to $5 million in 2018 to a whopping $15 to $20 million in just three years. A large part of his success is due to his fortunate timing as the world’s first beta tester for Instagram DM automation chatbots. He was able to cash out during the peak of the NFT boom, which has contributed greatly to his current net worth.
JetSet is responsible for creating the world’s first Automated-Interactive DM marketing campaign. According to JetSet, this campaign has resulted in “consistent launch[es] of viral ads with over 90% opt-in rates,” as well as the generation of “hundreds of thousands of leads and [tens of millions of dollars] in sales” for both JetSet and its clients.
In late 2021 and early 2022, Josh King Madrid launched NFTMagazine.com, quickly earning over $10 million from launching NFTs within just 45 days. His success was due in part to his knowledge of buying low and selling high, as well as trading hundreds of thousands of dollars of cryptocurrencies and NFTs within a single day. His Instagram is full of multiple stories of his success in the industry. Additionally, he has a 40-person office for NFT Magazine and his marketing agency in Irvine, California.
