Hi, I'm Jake.
I Make Money in China.
I'm an American expat who moved to Shenzhen in 2018 with $2,000 and a laptop. Six years later, I'm running multiple income streams generating $25K+/month — all from China.
I built Make It In China because I wasted years figuring things out alone. This community is everything I wish I had when I started — real methods, real numbers, real people.

What I Believe
China is the greatest opportunity for foreigners willing to show up and do the work
Most people fail because they lack information, not ability
The best way to learn is from people already doing it
Your foreign perspective is an asset, not a liability
Multiple income streams beat a single salary every time
Community accelerates everything
