what is up EECOM deeds nation and todayis gonna be super exciting becausemyself and my co-host anthony max alonewe're talking about a lot of things alot of things that quite frankly thesewe have sticking them straight over hereif you're listening to this on spotifysoundcloud or lord knows where this willend up if it ends at anywhere yeah wehave we have also our youtube channelthat you can watch the video or reallypiece together a lot of things but idon't want to waste a lot of time and iwant to get right into it there's a lotof topics that that we've been gettingfrom you know a lot of our students andwhatnot and and i think it's time toaddress some of these things you knowwe're gonna we're gonna keep it reallyraw we're gonna yeah the whole premiseof this is i want to i want to keep youknow i want to keep it very real onekeep it open and say say what's on ourmind really go ahead and go out thereand try to help everybody understand ourpoint of view and more so aside from ourpoint of view kind of what we know andwhat the public doesn't know on certaintopics whether that's advertisingwhether that's you know gurus which isthe first thing we're going to talkabout branding is the business modeldead so we're gonna get into a lot ofthese topics but the first one that ireally want to talk about is econ gurusand more so their secrets now this onethis one's pretty interesting to mebecause I hate it when when somebodygoes ahead and and I it sounds reallyweird for me saying this cuz I hate theword guru yeah I mean it's kind of justbeen this over fabricated kind of put ona pedestal kind of word whereas I guesspeople kind of just self claimthemselves as a quote-unquote guru and Idon't know kind of grinds my gears tosome extent but I mean I'm reallyexcited that we're gonna get into thiskind of stuff in the podcast and reallyget to peel back the curtain on a lot ofstuff that we wouldn't normally talkabout also get a lot of good submissionsfrom students as to like stuff that theywant to hear at a podcast or gonna bereal raw uncut footage of us talkingabout this stuff with full transparencyand at the end of the day the only thingthat's really gonna help people'sbusinesses and actually help them moveforward is nothing but sheertransparencyyou have all this fluff and excuse mylanguage but bullshit that comes aboutand people are just trying to at the endof the day pitch you want a specificitem or try to get you to buy some sortof program I mean that's what's reallygonna start to dilute that content andthe pure value of what people truly needto help their businesses so I'm reallyexcited for us to go ahead and getstarted and I mean episode one it'sgonna be a killer in my opinion rightso you mentioned something there youknow people try to really kind of likepeddle their stuff right and it's funnyI was on Instagram I think maybe yousaid it to me but you sent me someteachable dropshipping course and yeahit was verbatim my course like I evenuse my images and I was just like I waslike hold on hold on I'm like youclaiming to be some you know this isthis this guru somebody who knows whatthey're doing yet and and I meant what Imean verbatim my video titles werecopied word-for-word down to the periodnow and I just looked at this I said youhave no idea what any of this even meansyeah because I was reading thedescription in the description wasn'tthe same but I was reading and I waslike okay you clearly are just trying togo out for a money grab and I thinkthat's where a lot of people right noware really confused is that there's adifference between people who are ableto draw attention and get clout andpeople who know what they're doingthere's a very fine line between thatthere's again you could be a great dropshipping marketer and you can be a greatpersonal brand I don't even want to sayentrepreneur because people who arebuilding personal brands right nowthey're not making money no not at alland none of the fact that you know I'veseen people with 70,000 or one hundredforty or two hundred thousand followerson Instagram but at the end of day noneof that equates to money or the factthat they know shit right I mean justbecause you could put up motivationalquotes of you leaning on a rented car oryou know trying to show people exactlywhat you're doing obviously everyonedoes fun shit you're not gonna seesomeone talking about their depressionor how they feel or their struggles onInstagram you're not gonna find thatvery oftenI do yeah there are some people that aretransparent about it and there's nothingwrong with that but at the end of theday so many people and I'm gonna tellyou apply 95 percent of people areliterally just putting up a facade ofpure bullshit when at the end of the dayif you're not in the trenches everysingle dayworking her ass off grinding andfocusing on what is actually gonna helpyour business grow the most then you'renot really hitting your max capacity andhalf the stuff you put out it's justgonna be bullshit you know it's crazyyou know you said you said this facadeand I've been saying this for for abouta year and a half two years now and andI always get I always get those peoplethe the occasional people probably oneout of every 100 say Dan you're you knowyou're a piece of shit scammer all youdo is self course is however the lastcourse I sold was back in March 2018yeah that's almost a year and that'salmost a year that was the last course Ireleased and here's the thing people tryto go ahead and purchase courses for meand I'll either tell them no don't getit yet because I didn't update it or Iactually have nothing – the onlyforward-facing thing is EECOM dudesAcademy yeah you can't buy anything elsefrom me I open it things up and thenclose them down because I like to workwith the people that get inside so youknow that's that's a very clearindicator this is why I hate beinglabeled you know like a guru cuz I don'thave a forward-facing course forhundreds and thousands of dollars yeah Idon't have and I do have this but Idon't actively participate in it becauseI have other businesses to run which islike a Facebook group or a discord groupif a the one thing you have to keep inmind and you should be very worriedabout is if there's an if there's a guruany marketplace and they're focusingtheir time on they're focusing majorityof their time on marketing theirproducts rather than harnessing theirskills that's a bad indicator that's whythe last product I released was March2018 which was dropship Academy which isabsolutely incredible and everybodyknows that I closed it down and you haveto wait an entire year for me to evenopen up something again to come workwith me that personally and you thesebecome gurus now I'm not knocking themor anything and there's nothing wrongwith that it's just to me it's like it'snot very plausible it's not veryreasonable to think that somebody canrun a massive scale business and runanother massive scale business meaning Iknow people that are doing like 20 30million dropshipping or you knowbuilding out like a private label brandand thenthrough Shopify or Amazon and I knowpeople that are doing that sosuccessfully and they try to build apersonal brand and they just can't do itthey cannot fucking do it however on theflip side I do know other people thatcan build an incredible personal brandyet they have no idea how to properlyset up a Shopify store and and and whenit comes down to me and I keep relatingit back to me because it's it's veryimportant you get this is that it's notlike and I would say I'm now one ofthese smaller creators compared to theother people that are now you knowcreating content and they're good atmarketing themselves but when it comesdown to like course material andteaching other people there's a reasonwhy I have more success stories and whythe people who have you know that aredoing like 30 40 million and thestudents that they do get their studentsare so freakin successful it's becausethey're in the trenches every day rightI'm in the trenches every day Anthonynow we're just launching ads a littlebit for an entire week that's all wewere doing and and then we're like oh weshould start a podcast that's theAnthony said I would start a podcast Iwas like okay yeah sure now he reallyhad to push that on me because I just Iit's it's not my it's not my corebusiness I like to make youtube videoson the Dan de Silva channel and I didn'thaven't this is probably that gonna bethe first video back on the econ viewschannel in a year yeah big comeback andum and we're gonna be really seeing alot more concept but you know thatthat's the thing here is that I hate Ihate this guru shit that's out thereright now it's so annoying and a littlebit is I harbor resentment that I didn'tpush harder on that because it's like Isee I see what I did in the beginningwhere I went wrong and I see these kidsdoing it again and I want a very good Iwant to go ahead and repeat this what Ijust said I see these kids doing itagain when I see 14 15 16 17 18 year oldkids going out there and making millionsof dollars selling courses and then yousay okay where's your student proof andtheir student proof is like two thousanddollars in a month and they bro you'renot actually what bothers you're notchanging anybody's life with twothousand dollars a month all you'redoing is running an elaborate and I hatetobut in an elaborate scam if you willbecause at the end of the day if yourproduct is good it's gonna sell itselfyou don't need marketing to do that okaylook it's look at something like Samovens right Sam the Sam doesn't need tomarket for shit but he's do not get mewrong he markets just as much as anybodyelse okay and he's fucking fantastic atit but his product and and and histeaching is bar none the bestso when you see econ gurus and they havelike you know thirty videos in ateachable course and you have to payfive hundred dollars for iteight hundred dollars for two thousanddollars for it and they're not evenadding softwares or anything they're noteven adding like that like that personaltouch too it's just it grinds my gearscuz they're great at marketingthemselves and that's all they focus onwhich they should flip the switch andfocus on number one harnessing the skillthat they're teaching people so they cangive them the real information thatactually works rather than em and Icould say this wholeheartedly becauseI've seen this happen beforewhat typical course creators will dowhat these typical econ guys will do isthey'll come in and I have so manyscreenshots of some of these kids askingme for help in the very beginning ohyeah they'll learn from somebody make afew thousand and then say we frickinmade it no you didn't yeah I mean I havepeople that are now on YouTube and likeI could say literally bigger than methat I've seen that I've bought myentire funnels in the past it's justcrazy how people just go ahead andrehash other people's content and saylook I I'm teaching you this just cuzyou know they could put their face infront of the right people but at the endof the day the thing that matters mostis can you get results for those actualstudents and the best way to do that isif you're a practitioner of the craftyourself now you'll see that peoplecould go ahead and you know regurgitateinformation and when I think of that Iliterally think of people that are inhigh school or middle school or collegeor as people like all university thatyou know it's not that hard to just goout there and grab someone else'sinformation regurgitate it into your ownwords and then give it to someone elsenow people that could actually you knowpersonal brand themselves to a certaindegree and get these kind of coursesales that they do that but the thing isthe true successin my opinion is hands-down is if youcan get people results now I mean you'veseen the results from your own studentslike Mario and countless others I meanI've gotten videos from my students likeliterally going on for two to threeminutes saying wow you changed myperspective on marketing and how I couldreally approach us and really thementality behind this and exactly how tomake things work and how I got my firstfew sales all the way up to X Y & Z andI mean that's where you know you couldreally see the quality rise to the topand you know that's where you see thingssuch as like Sam ovens for example hefocuses on the deliverable that he'sproviding and at the end of the day nomatter what kind of price he puts on hison his programs or the consulting.comstuff that he runs it's gonna bepriceless to the people that actuallytake that information and run with itbecause the deliverable is BarNone way Ihave to have something to add in herebecause this is this is this is gonna bea point where I don't think I don'tthink a lot of people like would seethis side of it but it's something thatI need to need to say and I won't namedrop any names but if you takesomebody's course and you leave them atestimonial and then you try to buildyour own personal brand and then askthat person who you learn from to removeyou as a testimonial you are a scumbagokay there's because this has happenedto me multiple times now and again I'mnot even gonna name drop here it's it'sdisrespectful as hell it is the mostdisrespectful thing that you can dobecause you're trying to make money foryourself and giving no credit to theperson that you learned from here's thething nothing is original and you werejust saying since what really sparked itis you were like okay you know you youregurgitate information but at the endof the day that's what we do right evenyou and I we regurgitate informationthat we learn we need to learn somethingfrom somewhere make it into our own andthen we could teach it yeah so it's notlike we came up with the idea ofinfluencers that was already being doneit's just the way we were doing it wascompletely different so there's neveranything new and if you reallythere's this book is called um steallike an artist and in that book it'svery clear that the best artists in theworld never came up with anything reallyoriginaljust a mixture of a lot of differentthings or a spin on something else yesso it's and and that's fine that's whythat's why I don't really ever get madwhen I see you know like these gurus putsomething out it's it's more so I get itjust do something unique oh yeahabsolutely like I'll refine my point ofcourse like everyone puts their own spinand own approach on everything you knowlike there's not just you know one thingsaying like oh well you ran a look likeaudience ahead so like obviously youripped his his idea of course everyonehas their own way of doing things theirown approach but I hate when kids go outthere and simply take you know verbatiminformation and kind of Don it as theirown or act like you know oh like I foundthis you know it's really not it's justlike the the practitioners are the onesthat I set at the highest value you knowwhen they actually can show that they'vedone it themselves how it works fromstart to finish rather than just kind ofhalf-ass putting it out there becausethey kind of understand it from a secondperspective because that at that pointyou're kind of playing a game oftelephone and when you get to the endpoint the actual way to make things workis just so altered and diluted that it'sactual just pure bullshit right yeah yepyep because here's the thing a lot ofpeople are learning or takinginformation from people on the surfacethat look like you know what they'redoing so if let's just say you'rewatching you know ecommerce guru X who'sgreat at personal branding yet doesn'tpractice and then you decide hey I'mgonna start a channel or I'm gonnacreate this funnel of teach people whatI learned from econ guru X yet econ guruX doesn't know what the hell he's doingall you're doing is passing alongmisinformation to essentially dilute theentire marketplace so then when thatperson that you're teaching realizesthat you don't know what you're doinghe's gonna go ahead and say okay thenclearly this marketplace is a big scamokay and that's the problem that we'rethat I see right now is that it's kindof like a big game of telephone and bythe time you know we had 20 layers deepand this brand new person comes into themarketplace they're learning somethingfrom somebody who has absolutely no ideawhat they're doing and it's just it'sit's one of those things where I'm justlikehonestly it's sad it's said I knowthat's why that's why I've stopped in2018 like I just I completely gave itand I have no problem admitting thatit's just I gave up cuz I saw first offlike the competition was becoming sofierce it's still as fierce actuallyit's it's the most fierce I've ever seenit and second thing is that I saw amassive change and that people caredabout things and not results yeah rightand that was my that was my big pivotalpoint cuz dude I don't wanna and I'vesaid this countless amount of times Idon't want to sell the fact that I havea Lamborghini I want to sell the factthat I know how to build a businessright but people want to buy the factthat I have a Lamborghiniand yeah it's like a mass-marketapproach you can even have that argumentlike the Thai Lopez approach where I'mkind of just like mass-market but that'snot the type of person I want to attractI don't want to attract the 17 year oldkid who wants to not go to college oruniversity and wants to become amillionaire overnight that's not what Iwant right but a majority of the peopleout there that that's what they'repromoting right now yeah and then youhave on the flip side people like EzraFirestone now the customer qualityincredible oh yeah because this contentis incredible Sam ovens customer qualityincredible content incredible in golflike like there's a big big differencebetween between biz op and businessbuilding now the big thing is thatthat's all contextual to the very frontend now this can be from literally anopt-in page like like they were talkingabout the other day you know if forexample your opt-in page is convertingat 30% that doesn't necessarily meanthat's a bad opt-in page because if thevalue of the customer is 3 times thevalue of an optimal converting at 70%yours getting a higher-quality customerright which is what you want yeah ahundred percent and the thing is thatyou know I think that they are able toreally harness that higher qualitymarket just because you could see wherethey're coming from you could see thatthey're truly good at what they do andwhat they speak about and the wisdomthat they share is legitimate you knowit's not you know a kid talking toanother kid and trying to sell them onon a pipe dream there's a big bigdifference in a fine line between peopleof that level such as onic Ezraand other people Sam and so many othersthat are really doing a truly amazingjob at what they do and kids that arejust trying to sell a dream right whichis a quick search on YouTube there yougo just just look down that list butanyway let's move on to our second topicI think we've really closed enough onthis yeah let's talk about building amassive brand which is what everybody Ithink realizes that's where they need togo yeah and yes so there's so much thatwe can talk about when it comes tobuilding a massive brand now I will saythis okay because a lot of people haveasked me what happened with the veerBevier was not my vision okay so firstthings first I'd never it's not that Inever wanted to do it I like the conceptI like the idea and everything waslaunched already now if you don't knowif a veer is if you're brand new hereit's a teeth whitening company that Iwent ahead and started and I orderedlike 2,000 units yeah something likethat that was not units thousands oh noit was super easy I think from start tofinish we spent like 15 G's with yeah Imean the custom packaging and everythingyeah everything was legit too and lookgreat yeah everything oh it lookedphenomenal but you know I came to thatcrossroad where I realized that's notwhat I wanted to do at the time okaybecause I think drop shipping is still agreat model it's still a huge andphenomenal model that's why when peoplesay is drop shipping dead and they'relike yeah drop shipping is dying rightI'm just like yes please tell everybodythat like like perfect great like Ohtell everyone that yeah so I think it'sjust another skewed perspective I meanthe the real answer is that bullshitdrop shipping is dying like people thatdon't know what they're doing or youknow provide awful customer support orcustomer service or deliver awfulproducts they don't check and make surethat every part of their business is youknow operating well by way of the stuffthat they're actually sending in totheir customers the shipping time thatit gets there the the actualrelationship that they're building withthe customers is making people losefaith in the fact of drop shipping butat the end of the day it's whetheryou're running a well-oiled business orlike you're not and simply put if you'renot paying close attention to it and notactually dedicating legitimate time andcaring about your businessside and out and how it affects yourcustomer then that's gonna happenobviously it's gonna seem like dropshipping is essentially dying so overallI mean you're gonna be able to tellwhether you're able to move forward withthis by simply being able to check intoevery single part of your business it'sreally it's not to over complicated it'sjust that the quality is always gonnarise to the top so if you're the bottomof the barrel and you think that youcould just skate by by the seat of yourpants and yeah it drops Whitney's gonnabe dead to you but if you actually careabout your customers care about theproducts that you're providing andfocusing more so on brand building thenI think that's pretty much gonna be yoursaving grace and what's really gonnaactually allow dropshipping to live onmore and more it's just that the qualityis always gonna be at the top and I meanyou see that from top to bottom whetherit's education info products or sellingphysical products quality's always gonnarise to the top of course quality willdefinitely always rise to the top that'skind of that's with anything that's withany market no matter what quality willalways out trump anything but again youknow building a massive brand issomething that and just a time what Iwas saying before and just to kind ofclose that chapter it it wasn'tsomething that I wanted to pursue anylonger so I decided to go ahead and letthat project die even though I dumpedthousands of dollars into it it justwasn't something that I wanted to go anyfurther I mean not even that we have todeal with a lot of a lot of clearanceslike government clearances because itwas something you put in your mouth sothere were just so many logistics to itwe were making sales definitely weremaking sales but I decided even evenwhen we were making sales I decided topull I decided to go ahead and just pullthe project without even sellingeverything because again it wasn't myfocus and that's what I realized is thatI don't want to focus on on that becauseit's notit wasn't my bread and butter yeah ohand and I think maintaining focus andbeing able to build something like thatis huge I love the drop shipping model Icame into the drop shipping model andyou know quite frankly 50% of theproducts on Amazon are sold by thirdparty now what does that mean exactly isthat it could be like the filmer byAmazon where it's into an Amazonwarehouse but just keep in mind thatalso in that mixture is you knowcompanies that are fulfilling from theirown warehouses and smaller companiesthat are fulfilling from their own youknow facilities and from that 50% of allproducts on Amazon you know a part ofthat 50% is essentially drop shippedproducts right because it's you knowwhen you go on Amazon you see you knowshipped from or shipped by that's athat's a that's basically drop shippingamazon is drop shipping so you know it'skind of it's it's one of those questionswhere it depends on how much time andeffort you're willing to put in buildinga massive brand has it's upsidepotentials where you can sell it formillions heck you can sell it forbillions of dollars yeah if you playyour cards right I mean those look atmovement watches or MV MT whichever wayyou'd like to say they got acquired bythe model group for about a quarter of abillion dollars yeah yeah I mean yeahthey started out drop shipping watchesfrom China right yeah and now look atwhere they are I mean this is phenomenalgreat of course it didn't happenovernight this is like what like a sixyear process a your process I want tothink it's something around that theyplay the long-term game I did it reallywell oh they did nobody and nobody whois coming in and finding and this eventies into what we talked about beforewith these gurus is that nobody's comingin to the Shopify and drop shipping orjust Shopify and building a business viaShopify nobody's coming into that withthe mindset of I can't wait eight yearsfrom now when I go ahead and you knowfinish this project they're thinking ohmy goodnesshow much money can I make in two weeksyeah that's the problem that is theworst perspective to have on I meanstuff takes time you know you come inwith that mindset you lose yeahyou you start to say people will goahead and say Shopify is a scam becauseyou came in with the mindset that youcan make ridiculous amounts of moneybecause that's what somebody told you ona Facebook ad or through a funnel orthrough a YouTube video right that'swhat you were led on to believe soessentially we can't even blame you andand I want to say we cuz I've been apart of that problem too I've said youknow look how much money I made in andI'll even and I've been a part of thatproblemand that's why it's what I'm coming backnow like you know let's let's shakethings up right because I I see theproblem and I saw last year the type ofpeople that I want to work with and I'mvery selective on on what I do in theprojects that I allow even got askedthrough you this morning if I want totalk somewhere said no like I'm not I'mnot I'm not talking publicly I'm not I'mnot going anywhere and talking on astage right now it's not my focus and Iwant to focus on dropshipping buildingstores and creating content yeah I meanrealizing what you really want to do isyou know superbly important just for thefact that you know arguing to spend thenext few years going up the wrong ladderand just losing that time and at the endof day that's the worst possible feelingat the end of that like shit was I doingthe wrong thing for the past year or twoyears but having your focus ishands-down the most important thing andthat even goes for Shopify and gettingstarted with dropshipping so many peopleare coming in with this skewedperspective but at the end of the day ifyou could really wrap your head aroundhow all of us could work and how it'sall scalable and it'll longevity more sothan just trying to make a quick youknow a thousand or two thousand dollarsit's gonna allow you to go ahead andyeah if the build-up could be gradualand slow at first but that doesn't meanthat you're doing something wrong stufftakes time you need to build data youneed to invest in Facebook Ads peoplesay oh I wasted this is the thing that Ihate the most people message me and saylike that were just like in my publicmaster mind they didn't get a chance towork with me because they didn't want togo ahead and move forward with likeprivate training or something like thatbecause I only take a few people becauseI want to be able to work with themclosely because if you're not workingwith them closely at the end of the daythey're just gonna get veered off in thewrong direction ninety-five percent ofthe time so they'll mess up you be likeoh I wasted $500 on Facebook ads likecan you please tell me what to do and Ihate when people say wasted because youknow in retrospect $500 isn't a lot ofmoney but you essentially if you did itright you invested into Facebook adsbecause you need data you need knowledgeyou need experience in the trenches ofexactly how things work with thebusiness in order to really wrap yourhead around and say oh well maybe if Iedit this audience or if I excluded thiscountry from my targeting or if I wentahead and focused on this age rangethat's only gonna happen fromrepetitions I mean if you look at peoplelike athletes they didn't get to thepros makemillions of dollars by you know spendingtwo years on the field and you knowworking out three times a week it's allabout repetitions and getting better atyour craft and at the end of the day youhave to go ahead and keep working at itand getting better at your craft if youwant to try to build something that Imean not to like MVM VM T's like statureor even something short of that or afraction of it that would be remarkablefor countless people watching thispodcast right now and I can promise youthat but it takes time it takesrepetitions it takes dedication don'tget me wrong you could still reallyfigure this stuff out and really startto wrap your head around and start toharness and hone in on your skills evenif you have a nine-to-five job but youhave to make those sacrifices you knowto not just sit on the couch and watchNetflix in your free time and ratherlearn more about your craft and getbetter at your craft but it's all aboutrepetitions and really investing yourtime and not looking at those thingsthat it's on cost but really settingyour focus and being able to moveforward with building a legitimatebusiness on Shopify rather than comingin with that skewed perspective as I'mgonna get rich overnight ya know it'sit's all mindset you know it's all it'sall what you think about it and andthat's the hardest thing to get peopleto understand no matter who I could talkto higher-level entrepreneurs as welland they don't they don't get that thisis why I think I clicked so well withSam and like and and I see eye to eyewith Becker with a lot of things becauseof the fact that higher-level thinkingand thinking certain ways is thedifference between success and nonsuccess like like you just said somebodywho looks at it as wasting moneycompared to investing money that's ahuge huge thing so recently I think Ispent like 10,000 you know listen let'snot even do it with recently let's justtake a look at at the vr1 just to tiethis all in is that I spent around 15G's and I said whatever right I investedthat and realized that I didn't wantthat so it's not like I I look at it isa complete waste of money it's not Ilooked at it as everything that Ilearned from there all everything that Igained whether that's working with youknow the FDA clearanceyou know ordering massive like thousandsof units with batteries in theparticular in the particular devicethere's there's so many logistics – Ilearnedso much throughout the process I've madeso many friends that are influencersbecause of it so that 15 thousand that Iessentially spent on products and and afew thousand on advertising that cameback to me tenfold with everything thatI've been able to build in regards tolike a personal network if you will sothat to me was a cheap investment that'show I looked at I don't look at it as afail project because it essentiallyisn't a fail project I really want topick it up we still have it all in awarehouse and we can go ahead and juststart redoing it again over and over andover again and selling as a matter offact there's literally probably like Idon't know a hundred units right there Imean we're looking right at it and andyeah so it's not it's one of thosethings that I can easily pick up it'sjust I don't I'm not really that's not amarket that I want to be in it's niceit's not something I'm super passionateabout yeah and I just couldn't getmyself to wake up every morning like yesI can't wait to message this beautifulInstagram model and tell her that herteeth need to be whiter so like it'sjust I mean I like the first part but wegot to the second part so so so yeah Imean it depends on what you want to doall right everybody's built differentlyI even last year funnel hacker alive Ispoke to somebody we were in the samehouse who was doing like around twentysix million dollars every single yeardrop shipping products on Amazon okay sothat's that's not even a business modelthat we've we've ever even talked aboutwe talked about drop shipping fromAliexpress but this guy's sellingproducts on Amazon that he's buying fromWalmart and he's just taking that littlemargin but if you're doing like 8% of 30million dollars a year you're livingpretty comfortably right from dropshipping from moving data over from oneserver to another server from you knowone platform which is Amazon to anotherplatform which might be Walmart forexample and that's that's how we skim inthe middle he's just skimming themargins and eight percent of 30 millionlike I said that's that's incredibleit's almost three million dollars rightnet for what for touching for touching abunch of products you don't even ownyeah I mean just solving some sort ofproblem whether it's saving costs forsome sort of business I mean whateveryou can really find a gap in the marketor you know see potential or fulfillingsomeone's needsat the end of the day the bigger problemyou solve the more money you make it'ssimple as that but it doesn't have to bethe biggest problem it doesn't have tobe you reinventing the wheel to actuallymake an impact or change your careerpath or get supplemental income toreally do the things that you wantwhether it's like taking a vacation orbuying a car you want what everyone hastheir own like different desires andgoals and really like I guess what youcould say what's really firing them toto go and start this business or dowhatever they want that is really gonnaget them that gratitude and like wherethey want to be it's just solving aproblem but at the end of the day it'stoo many people going back to like youknow the song cost and everything peopledon't stay dedicated and they think thatit's just gonna happen within 1 2 or 3months I mean even I myself I lost like15 grand or ten to fit yeah 10 to 15grand the first time I try to develop myfirst software and ever since then Istuck through it I looked at it I waslike alright that was lesson learnedmove forward recreate it with a new teamand a new mindset and a whole lot ofknowledge and I gained from you know howto actually manage a team and build outsomething that is your true vision andever since then we've had thousands ofusers we're starting to get enterpriselevel users are just absolutelyphenomenal and that kind of stuffhappened through perseverance and youknow if you lose 200 dollars in a weekthat's the hard-knock life of being anentrepreneur like starting your ownbusiness right if you don't like it thisisn't for you it's simply simply put Inot easy at the end of the day you haveto realize that if shit goes wrong it'son you number one and number twoeverything's your fault like you justhave to own up to it and move forwardand look at everything if things havegone wrong as a learning and lesson andreally an investment into yourself andbecoming a more well refined and smarterand wiser entrepreneurs so like this isjust stuff that comes with time rightand then and here's here's here'stypically what happens and I want tospeak for around 96% of anybody whocomes into the market they try they losemoney they quit and call it a scambecause it didn't work for them that'show it works that's that's the wellthat's what happens when yourexpectations are sky-high and you thinkthat this is gonna be the easiest thingthat you've ever come across but andthen you realize that a holy crap thisis a businessright I don't think people get that Ithink people think this is a hobby ofmillion dollar hobby yes it's a it's abusiness and if you do have a milliondollar hobby let us know because youknow we don't drop a comment right yeahlet us know yeah me because we are we'retotally willing to do whatever you do asa hobby if making significant amounts ofmoney was easy everyone would do it truewell I mean nowadays he this is this issomething I find so interesting becauseI think this topic is so skewed I thinkit really is easy to make a lot of moneyit is if you're if you're trying buthere's a here's the thinga lot of money now doesn't go as far asit used to that's true so I think lastyear there was like 46 like or it wassomething like 46 billionaires hadwhatever percentage in the u.s. of likelike the total wealth of the only u.s.now here's the thing you ready you knowthis year it's like 20-something 2020-something billionaires yeah have thesame amount of wealth that 46 had lastyear so there's there's a certain groupof rich people that keep getting rich ohyeah but yet this the rich people thataren't a part of that 26 group now or 20whatever group now that were part of the46 last year they're I mean are theygetting poor no they're they're notgetting poor it's just go to the wordpoorer no I think I think with inflationright things become completely differentmoney is not hard to make now but butthings keep getting more expensive soyou know a million dollars 20 years agoa lot of money it's a lot of not anymorenow a million dollars is still a decentamount of money but you can't get asmuch as you could now as you could backthen absolutely so but it's easier tomake a million dollars now than it is tomake it a million dollars then so in mythe way my mind works and again thiscomes back down to a mindset thing isthat it's very very easy to make a lotof money nowit's it's formulating a plan andsticking to that plan consistently togetting the end result you need to knowwhat the end result is however you needto understand that when you make a lotof money and this is this is somethingthat I know firsthand is that it can goextremely fast okay just because youmake two three four million dollarsdoesn't mean toyears from now you're gonna have twothree four million dollars right so justkind of keep that in mindoh yeah definitely definitely burns by alot quicker than you think I meanespecially when it's like lifestylestarts to get more expensive and then itjust becomes normal you got to staydedicated to like keeping that up anddon't forget you know more money moreproblems yeah this is very true Mo Moneymo problemslosing cardio bracelets not good ooh butnow I mean even even more problems moremoney right yeahyeah and I mean just going back cuz I goI want to say this before it's not thatyou know just making that money isessentially easier I just think rightnow it is far more accessible than everit's oh look when 16 year old kids aremaking millions of dollars yeah we arein a time that nothing is unattainableit's just how lazy people are that theycan't follow through with something thatthey said so again that's why thequestion back to what the question wasbuilding a brand you know is is thatwhat should be done right now building abrand is only for those that are cut outto be able to build a brand okay and howdo you know if we're cut out to be tobuild a brand is that if you can endureabsolute dog should have a life foryears on enduntil you hit that breakthrough yeahlook at look at Bezos okay he enduredcomplete dogshit of Amazon gettinglaughed at and and at the end of the daywho has the last laugh right definitelyJeff right off and his ex-wife okay nowfor nothing that's a that's a wholedifferent subject now we're gonna talkabout that right now it's a part of itbut let's let's let's cut to the chaseokaywoody do you think she deserves themoney yeah your name hell no you arewrong I don't see eye-to-eye with you onthat how because she was Amazon firstemployee she built it up with Jeffthat's if we see Jeff as the face yeahyou know I usually I don't know enoughon the topic I don't know enough on thetopic I'll say that because if she wasthere working day in day out with Jeffthen I'd say she definitely deserves adecent cut butseventy-six billions a lot of money yeahyou're right but but what makes youthink if she was working day to day inthe trenches with Jeff what more welderswhat what cut would you say is fair Ohwhat was that cut how did they come upwith that number do you know it's it'shalf its had it's half okaythere's no prenup it's have ham I mean20 years ago when he when Amazon wasn'tAmazon you think he'd be like aw like Ineed your sign a prenup cuz I know I'mgonna be the world's richest man yeah Imean if she was there work in the entiretime and let you think she deserves halfI think that she she definitely workedfor it then if she was in the trencheswith Jeff but if she was how much Idon't know his half is having a reason Ithink half is excessive oh I don't Idon't think that I don't think half isexcessiveI think if she's there in the trencheswere and at working day to day doing thesame things as Jeff and again this issomething that would be really hard toprove yeah outside looking in I do thinkI do think she deserve if she was in thetrenches working just as much as Jeffthat she deserves half but not only thatnot only that not only that they havekids okay yeah so I think that buthere's the thing seventy billion dollarsis is it I'd say I think it's more thanenough that's you know reasonable to thereason I say less than half and ofcourse like a monumental child supportbill is in play and you know that'sgonna happen that's one of the things Isay I think it should be half butanother thing is at the end of the daywas she the visionary that broughtAmazon to life and the answer is mostlikely from like from what I know Ithink it's no cuz I mean using his JeffI think it's Jeff using his Jeff thatthat brought the I that honestly I wantto create something I don't know enoughon the topic but I mean looking from theoutside in Jeff is the face of thecompany Jeff was most likely the onethat brought the vision to life and dideverything of course there are tons ofand countless people working under himthat actually made everything happen butthat's someone's vision you know and Irespect someone's vision coming fromlike you know building a small softwarecompany up to like a few thousand youI respect someone's vision greatly andsomething that they've dedicated youknow their entire life to and liketreating it as like their own likeadditional child almost giddy but I likeif she doesn't deserve half it's notlike Jeff is gonna be sweating overhaving an extra thirty billion dollarsand here's the thing what if she'sphilanthropic I mean good for her knowat that point I say fuck Jennifer giveher away more cuz Jeff it just made itvery public he's not giving awayanything really you didn't know this noI haven't dug too much on it I just JeffI just kind of bow down basically Jeffyou've that you've conquered the worldit's not like Jeff is against it butJeff doesn't contribute like he's notpart of like the Bill and Melindafoundation he doesn't he doesn't heedyou don't stand by its facts look it upyeah I don't mean uh I mean I'm justsaying like I don't agree with that thatoutlook to not give back oh right rightthat's yeah I think that's one of thebig reasons why I have I'm like yes gogo I don't know her name go Jeff'sex-wife yeah let go you because in thein like the slightest bit of hope I dohope she's philanthropic oh yes for usbecause to be the world's richest man togive nothing back legitimately nothingnothing bad yeah thanks man and andthat's been that's been a huge focalpoint about about Jeff's career is thathe's not feeling throb you know and notonly that now one thing that I could saythat I have heard is like the obscenelike working condition of course yeaheverybody's heard that to everybody andI mean there's one thing to give backbut at least take care at minimum takecare of the people that are working foryou to make it happen right you knowwhat I mean so Jeff come on manshame shame shame shame put Jeff in thecircle of shame today with this billionsof dollars now I like Jeff just in casehe watches audio because the cases videogoes viral I want to make sure that Jeffknows like I love him no yeah Jeff it'sall of like I respect it I respectAmazon respect division but yeah mantake care of it take care of the companytake care of the people their grind andeveryday for you but I mean what elsewhat else we have slotted for fortoday's episode one of the econ dudespodcast dude do you not realize likethis is pretty groundbreakingyou know for the viewers us I guess youcould say I don't want to speakselfishly on that but like this is coolwe're venturing into something diffthis year I wanted to start 2019 fresh Ithink there's some new wave to kind ofget in touch with with the people andkind of help help them out I agree Ithink yeah I think I think we're doingsomething cool I think we're doingsomething that has been done before butnot in our marketplace yeah I thinkeverybody's recording podcast putting itup and not showing the video side yeah Ithink a lot people are doing that Ithink it's gonna be different you knowso I guess I guess we'll see how it goessee how it mascots let's get creativelet's have fun all right so a lot upcells on the way nowdo we end it here or do you want to askone more question well I mean cuz I haveone more oh well dude we're only like 40minutes in here we can keep going for atleast another 40 I don't care let's keepit going but we'll chop it up whateverso there's dropshipping dead no pull themagic conch no no no absolutely notabsolutely not dropshipping is not deadin like any way shape or form we kind oftouched on this a little bit before it'sreally just the fact of who is actuallygonna do it well I mean this goes foranything like people trying to becomeprofessional athletes there's a reasonwhy the masses don't make it to the prosI mean there's literally like it'sliterally like a hierarchy you have allthese people that are playing in in highschool college is less and less peopleand when you get to the top at the prosor making the most money they'resuccessful because they did it the bestand they earn their ways they're likeyeah but but you know not for long theNFL stance or not for longalright that money's there but not forlong I mean if they invest it properlyit's just like all about theirs latelyyour eyes that it's right don't go outfor their money yeah but like that's 1%of the leagueoh yeah like like Russell Wilson didsome fantastic stuff he invested into aton of companies and and I can't evenspeak enough on it because I don't knowenough about it but I know that he madesome really smart investments there's alot of other players that are makingsmart investments and a lot of them thatare doing it's like rocks in their handI mean yeah but regardless no matter howyou slice it what they do with the moneythey got there because they worked ontheir craft and they did it properlyyou're right you're right we're nottalking about the the money as it wereso no Godexactly getting there getting to theactual end point now I mean the samething applies to dropshipping like wesaid before repetitions and dedicationslike there's really nothing else it'sgonna get you to where you want to bedon't get me wrong there are people thatstart dropshipping and you know they'llroll out you know one of their first 10ad campaigns on Facebook and it will popoff and kudos to them you kind of hitthe little I guess you say Facebook adsor dropshipping lotto and you gotresults right away it doesn't happen foreveryone though everyone has their ownpath moves at their own pace and gets totheir breakthrough point at a certaintime there are very few people that youknow actually get there at the verybeginning kudos to them they do it it'snot impossible but at the end of the dayeveryone goes at their own pace somepeople find their breakthrough point onemonth down the line three six twelvemonths down the line there are peopleI've seen saying I've been trying thisfor a full year and I just had my firstprofitable month and I'm like god blessthat person someone that actually canpersevere through this and stayconsistent and keep trying and bededicated everything happens at its owntime and you know it's really differentfor everyone yeah everyone moves attheir own pace yeah and and you're rightabout that it's I've and I've and I'veseen this again firsthand also it justsucks because I think that the thingthat makes so many people ready to quitis everything they see on social mediaand all these standards that they haveto live up to oh yeah and I mean therewas more focus on on everybody givingvalue rather than showing what they'redoing with the money oh yeah thatthey're getting from people that aretrusting them there'd be a huge hugemindset shift in the market yeah andthat's why if like that that's why Ireally don't like to post like forexactly my lab I'll be I'll post out onmy story but I don't really to have itas like pictures all the time on yesbecause here's the thing at the end ofthe day people are following me becauseI have a Lamborghini people arefollowing me because of the fact thatI'm able to teach them something on howto better their lives and I canpiggyback off of hooking people in withstuff like the fancy car right and thenhere's the thing once you hook them inthey that's all I want to see peoplearen't following you because you'regreat at what you do they're followingyou because they're intrigued on whatyou haveand what you do not that doesn't meanain't wanna do it right so it's easierto convince somebody who's doing Shopifyalready like I'm like my side Hey look Ican help you make more money by thesetechniques that I have or thesestrategies that I know or I can help youwhatever it is right yeah rather thansaying okay this is what Shopify is andthis is how I got my car yeah like andnow I got a teacher what Shopify is andthen I have to hope that you stick withShopify and then I have to you know andthen all this and and I think that wasum I think that was one of the the bigthings that that I realized once onceShopify in so many words they they giveme the boo-yeah for being an affiliateand I never till this day dude I stillcan't understand why and it all sparkedfrom that one video where I took out aplaque from my Lamborghini and I saidand I Batum said that's not importantmeaning I was pointing at the Lambo Isaid that's not cool you know what it'scool this plaque that's what means moreto me than the car because that's me wasan accolade the car was just a byproductof that particular accolade where I gota million dollar plaque and then I got amessage from somebody at Shopify sayingokay you're done I'm like why andthey're like you have to remove thatvideo I'm like I'm not removing thatvideo I'm like it like what did I dowrong I'm telling people here yet youhave everybody else going and postingyou know all these like cars and andthat's what really really grinds mygears and I have no problem likeadmitting that as wide-eyed sign noNDA's or anything so yeah I got the bootfor no reason and and I I hinted at theone of the affiliate managers like whatI thought it was and I thought it wasbecause like an image that I wasportraying yeah and and that was likethat was one of the things that Icouldn't really understand was what youknow what image am i portraying that'sso negative compared to everybody elseand and then the shame and and basicallyI I got screwed over because either Iwent with the market or I had to goagainst it so what everybody else isdoing if I go against it fade outI become useless nobody because themarkets attracted to a certain thing ata certain time period like for examplein six months from now everybody mightbe attracted to post sale sequences andeverybody's gonna be talking about thatand they're not even gonna be showingany cars or anything they're just gonnabe showing like the inside of their postyes he wasI'd be a thing right but right now orduring that time period everyone wasjust showing their lifestyle liketraveling and you know being in certainlocations with certain people and thatwas the lifestyle that was attractingthe market like we were moving to thatand obviously I'm not gonna go againstthe grain there so I'm not gonna be likeyou know what you guys everybody theentire market is used to seeing this I'mnot gonna show them that nowtheoretically that would be smart rightwhich is why I mix things up like withthat video where I pulled out theclickfunnels plaque yeah where I showedthem like what I had but I also toldthem that's not that's not the importantpart like that's not what I want to showyou that doesn't matter I was like I waslike yeah I was you know what's coolerthan on Lamborghini making a milliondollars with a funnel and like somethinglike that like that and and that's why Inever really got like what and and clickphones had nothing to do with withShopify so that's a serious read yeah Ithink they were just waiting to boot meoff I don't know why they're out for youlike that because I feel like you'vejust sent them such a significant amountof users and I mean oh I know I havefirst off in second and I and sayingthis would almost make me sound arrogantin a way but I was one of the first likethree four creators talking aboutShopify yeah ever like I would say Iwould say somebody like Devin Zanderreally put Shopify on the map oh yeahand the reason why he did that wasbecause he was a first ever course everto talk about Shopify which was EECOMsuccess at note and that Adriane youcome from America you come from yourAcademy yeah and before that there wasthere was one more and it was beforeecon premier Academy EPA it was therewas one more and it did decently wellthey four hundred thousand and then Imean they killed it with the yeah andthey were the first ones to do it and Iwas one of the top affiliates with Chrisrecord and Chris Beck was coming out ofI think maybe MLM I think it was andyeah he crushed and then you know we allmoved into e-commerce and that was justlike a huge eye-opener for me and I wasthe first person that went to youtube with or one of the first few peoplethat went to YouTube with Shopifycontent so I cornered that market andthe next thing you know everybody elsecomes into it flooding it with look whatI have and I got it cuz the shop lineI'm like no you got it cuz you'reselling courses and stuff yeah and uhand and yet at that point and I stillask someone I still ask some of thesepeople you know are you still on Shopifyting like yeah I'm like like so so I gottargeted for what though like yeah Inever really understood that but yeahthere's there's so much to it I mean I Idefinitely know if I put this out I'llprobably get contacted by Shopify legalteam and then I'll just slap me on thewrist maybe I'll take my affiliateaccount away next oh no oh no yeahhere's that he was the craziest part andI didn't know you had an account Ididn't even a promotional fight likethat but yeah actually I did pretty wellpromoting shop buy really yeah it wouldwork well so the funnel for mail funnelsthat you created yeah yeah that's coolbut yeah even I have okay I have likeobviously you know some friends to dovery very well with jump fly affiliatepromotion and they were just like andI'm not gonna name any names cuz it'sthe last thing I want but he was likeyeah just use my accountand I'll set up a sub ID for you so wecould just track her payments you stillget paid now I mean I I didn't take himup on that offer he didn't want anythinghe's just doing it this is a greatfriend of mine and and I said no justcuz it wouldn't make sense cuz clearly Iwas doing something off and and I willadmit that I had public-facing links andthey asked me to change and I did andevery video that they told me to takeoff your public facing links meaning thedirect link to Shopify right in thedescription of a YouTube video that's metaking on which I had no problem becauseat this point in my in my business Iwant to get all the leads anyway so Ijust created an opt-in page capture theleads still got the lead and still gotthe free the free shot around ratherthan so it straight right off so for meit made sense how's it cool yeah noproblem I have no I have no problemdoing that it makes more sense for me umso so yeah and you know obviously I havefriends that's out there Cassady yeahyou can use use mine like we we have noproblembut it's like one of those things whereIget it you got you guys were burned bysight Ron site research and he's callingout literally site Ron's calling outeverybody who's making YouTube videosand my face wasn't anywhere on there isbecause I wasn't making fuckingridiculous claims like he was like yeahShopify is being fluffed up by a bunchof you know like a bunch of scammers andpeople that just keep promising bigthings and he like this page waselaborate this was an elaborate pagewith screenshots of YouTube videos withscreenshots of other people like otherecon gurus and and their video titlesand all that and I was nowhere to befound in the video or nowhere to befound on the page and that's when theircrackdown happened but I wasn't evenshown I wasn't mentioned I wasn't Iwasn't anything there was a ton of otherpeople that were on that page and Iasked them if they got their accounttaken away and he did not get theiraccount taken away and that's why I waslike that's what got me so angry wasbecause and it's not like it was alittle bit of money either it was asubstantial amount of affiliateCommission's that I was making becauseguess what it just so happens that myentire business is built around thatplatform teaching people how to use itso boom you know it just makes sensethat I my affiliate commissions werepretty big but maybe they don't want topay it out I don't know that's I think Ithink they're cracking down on me on theaffiliates side I you know they theyhave they have a lot of liquid cashthey're publicly traded but againthey're it's not it's not like what theyhave is something incredible okay yeahat the end of the day look at somebodylike John Mack who has what's a softwarecalled I can't I can't think of it it'sit's on the tip of my tonguecommerce HQ yeah yeah yeah so commerceHQ if if I and I talked to John aboutthis the the software is a beautiful itis incredible if Shopify didn't have allthat funding behind them I think Johnwould blow them out the water oh yeah Imean I mean just at the end of day tohave that much capital to work withyou're you're gonna have you know 10 20steps ahead of anyone else I meanregardless of self funding or whateverlike shop Pfizer on on a wholelike literally a publicly traded companylike there's just so much cash to burnthrough almost like but I have a theoryI have a theory my theory is that if themarket if the Shopify gurusyes I'd to drop Shopify and go tosomebody like John Mac's platform rightI mean what happens with Shopify itwould shift of tremendously because hugebecause here's the thing Shopify haswhat seven hundred thousand max storesthat were created yeah that doesn't meanactive right now yes okay and that's oneof the big problems as an investor yougot a look at how many stores areactually paying oh the churn rate thatthey have is unreal and I mean as asoftware owner like because my app isdirectly for Shopify the churn rate iscontextual right or like across theboard like you see like our our billingrating like the 14-day trial istremendous like we convert probably like70 to 80 percent of people from a 14-dayfree trial signup over to the lowest$9.99 a month plan which is tremendousfor us it converts like hell but as yousee as it goes down the line the dropoff is is tremendous and of course butthat's that's any software companythough but 100% but but I think a lot ofthis has to do with everything that wetalked about earlier yeah context comingin the quitters the people that don'tstick around long it is just literallytied in with Shopify buddy-buddy likethere are 90 percent of the people thatare gonna start that Shopify free trialand you know I'd say ninety ninety-fivepercent of them are not gonna go pastthe first two months yepand and one one thing and I want to Iwant to close this particular thing thatI said before out with site Ron now Idon't want to say that I condoneanything that he said I don't want tosay that I agree with anything that hesaid he had very valid points but histhe points that were valid were more soon the fact that it was how Shopify isbeing promoted was a lot of was a lot ofwishy-washy questionable marketingtactics he's right yeah oh yeah that'sthat's absolutely right I have I haven'thave nothing I said that was I think hisbig you know he was trying to like I wasa huge shock compared to like Herbalifeor something like how it's likestructured like that or somebody lookhow they're paying affiliates and andall that stuff andit was again I don't I don't rememberexactly what it was compared to so Idon't want to say it was horrible lifebut he was just trying to say it's justa big scam what's your take on do youthink Shopify should have cracked downan earlier or do you think like I mean Isee it from both sides like I can playdevil's advocate both ways I feel likeyou know you have money to burn throughyour gonna reward people that are gonnado whatever they can to get you theusers that are right for your platformor people that are having some level ofinterest for your platform whetherthey're sticking around for one month or24 months I feel like from Shopify'sperspective I think that they did allthey could do properly you know but whatdo you think do you think that theyshould have taken some sort of adifferent approach by way of crackingdown on that um yes I do now it's notlike I harbor any resentment cuz I getit at the end of the day it's a businessand and you have to look out for yourbottom line yeah and I think I think theway they handled it could have been donea little bit differently I think andagain don't get me wrong my my affiliatemanager there went up to bat for me asmuch as he could but there was somebodyelse who I just didn't know who and Iwas never told just was like no so it'salmost Arabs just out for you and thatin that case you know I think there'spotentially just someone that you knowdidn't want you there because it's justin the line with their vision or theyneed to know anything may have needed toset an example almost I don't I don'tthink that I think it was more so of a Ithink was I think it was a kind of likea who you know type of job yeah I thinkI think somebody else out there was andI'm stepping on toes it's it's no it'snot like a stepping on toes but it wasmore so of a it might have been it mighthave been I'll never know I'll neverknow it might have been a message butbut you know it's not like yeah theaffiliate Commission's were great it wasit was a decent chunk of money but it'snot like it stunted my business or how Idecided to grow or where I decided to goI'm still gonna be here and I'm if Iwant to talk about clickfunnels I'lltalk about phones if I want to talkabout shelf I'll talk about ShopifyShopify sucks publicly which they don'tyeah I guess I did you say publicly butif I want to say they suck I'm gonna saythey say okay but they don't suck youknow but like I said before somebodylike um like John Mac's platform Ihaven't I've seen it okay I've neveractuallyreally is it right yeah there's a bigdifference from what I've seen from whatI've heard and what I mean seen is seeninside the platform what I've seen fromother people as well what I've heard isthat that platform is absolutelyincredible because they they do stuffthat Shopify like they have funnelbuilders right within yeah like reallyyeah and they're and they're you knowthey're they're themes if you will theyare some of the highest converting I'veseen yeah cuz I've been on the stores atthe demo stores and other people'sstores and I've seen it I was like holycrapola theme is descent I went to golook at a theme the theme research forShopify stores and and then I realizedthat it wasn't it wasn't a Shopify storeyeah I'm like you know I think Shopifyprobably doesn't expand to that just forthe simple fact of how much they makeoff of the App Store yeah yeah I guessyeah their App Store is the bread andbutter for them yeah but you know goingback to like that whole thing where itback who was it that called Shopify outsaying that they were getting usersthrough the shady marketing techniquessite Ron yeah like honestlywhy wouldn't Shopify what look the firstquestion that pops in my head whywouldn't Shopify just punch back ifthere are people really getting allthese results on Shopify and I know thatthere are people that truly are it's notlike fake it's not bullshit there arelegit people I think damned if you dodamned if you don'tI know but like I feel like you have somuch like momentum behind you in such alarge user base I just was I just wishShopify was you know a little bit morefor the people that helped them becomeShopify I think I I agree I couldn'tagree morebecause without without the peoplewithout the affiliates about theyoutubers without people informingpeople on what shop you guys arebasically traded a company that justfucking stood there wouldn't even be apublicly traded company yeah yeah whynot I don't

youknow me okay beauty I've got my computerhere on my desk which you can't see butit's here and I'm just gonna go aheadand type it Korean beauty in all and I'mjust gonna see what pops up and then Ithink I'm gonna go about just buying thefirst five things that are listed andI'm not gonna do the sponsored onesbecause I feel like that's she so itlooks like the top five we have here I'mnot gonna do this go this a to housemight be to a lovely a teen hair bandI'm not gonna do that it's not really bea product so we've got this a to housemy last year that could be funso I think I will go ahead and buy thatI've never tried that beforealright what's next okay so we havethese dermal Korea collagen essence fullface facial massive sheet these havereally good reviews sixteen uh randomones or maybe like one of each lookslike next we have the face shop ricewater bright cleansing foam and lightcleansing oil now actually funny enoughI have tried the face shop rice waterbright cleansing water I've never triedthe foam and I never tried the oil so Iguess it would be appropriate for me togo ahead and just try this one rightnext we have the Eliza Becca help orcontrol hyaluronic acid serum I've trieda lot of a life event of products I'venever tried this soI'm just gonna add this to my cart wehave I gotta find one more product so Iwant to do fiveleave the lives of eka milky piggycarbonated bubble clay mask you guysknow I've already done a floor review onthat I will link it down belowI'm not going to repurchase that andI've also tried this next one's on inPark Beauty water which I also likegonna up know I don't know but you guyshave seen it in some of my videos sothis is the Perry head of petty Inc thevelvetin beauty peak Bros I think that must bethe shade so or it's just the shade thatit went to so I'm just gonna order thatone and add that to my car and my totalis 47 86 I don't think it's badbasically like six products cuz the faceshop has two products from one so let mego to place my order and I guess I'llsee you guys in a couple days becauseI'm gonna prom these bitches and getthem to my house[Music]okay so it has been about a month that Ihave bought and tried these top sellingcream beauty products from Amazon soproduct number one that I'm going to goover is actually two productstechnically but I bought these as a secton Amazon I did not like these I need totell and did not get very far in theseproducts I guess also called thecleansing oil first you can see I usedabout this much of the product it wastwo fragrance for me and I think for2018 one of my skincare resolutions isI'm gonna start moving towards fragrancefree products but in general this hassuch a strong fragrance I just foundusing this very unenjoyable and as acleansing oil this is not an effectivecleansing oilI found it left a lot of makeup on myskin it didn't break through my eyelineror buy mascara and when I went in withmy cleanser and toner I still felt likeI had makeup on my skin so this was justnot a good cleansingI definitely use cleansing oils fromdifferent brands that I've liked moreand then for the foaming cleanser thiswas also something I did not like at alllook at the cat hair on my face I amgoing to be testing out the seed ricewater bright foaming cleanser from thefaceshop that I fought off Amazon soright now it looks like I am good toshow you guys my levels here first thingin the morning now that we have abaseline I'm gonna go ahead and wash myface okay I already tell you that myskin feels really dry you know for thatfeeling when you're like it's too cleanlike it's also I don't know if I'm crazybut it feels a little like there's stillresidue on my skin like it didn't rinseoff Farrow up whoo okay so you can seethe big difference in numbers to behonest I know that this is saying okaywe're in a safe range but I feel likethis is way too driving for my skin myskin just already feels a comfortableI also found this as very irritating onmy skin and when I was looking throughthe ingredients one thing that start outto me was obviously the sodium laurylsulfate which is something that is a bigno-no when it comes to skin creationever gazing products with sodium laurylsulfate in them I have actually beenusing this as a makeup brush cleanserusually when I get face cleansers Idon't like I either give them away orare you subtly my makeup brushes verdicton it is an effective brush cleanserdoesn't makeup brush cleanser this ispretty good but as something I would useon my face I literally use this once onmy skin it was like never again nevermoving on to the next product this isthe Eliza Becca witch piggy help morecontrol hyaluronic acid 97% now Ihonestly had low expectations for thisproduct only because the packaging wasso cartoonish I really felt like is thisa serious skincare product but I have tosay I actually like this a fair amountnow this is obviously a hyaluronic acidbased product meaning hyaluronic acid isreally good for those of us with dryskin and really all skin types canbenefit from using hyaluronic acidhyaluronic acid is something that Bond'swater to the skin so looking at theingredients in this product I have tosay fairly decent ingredients in mine inparticular does have a very heavyfragrance to it so I don't think I willcontinue using this for some reason whenI was reading other people's reviews andexperiences with this online some peopleare saying that their students havefragrance so I don't know if ElizaBecker we formulated this product andadded fragrance to it or if there is aseparate product that has no fragranceto it I'm not really sure what's goingon there or where the discrepancy lies -Rigginsby the one on Amazon it's going to havefragrance in it but that's the onlything that I don't like about thisproduct and I really wish it didn't havethat fragrance added because definitelyout of moisture to my skin it made myskin feel really soft plumped up my skinI totally noticed me wearing orbrightening aspect to it but I reallydid like this product I just wish itdidn't have fragrance now I guesstechnically the last key care productfor this video are these which are thedermal sheet masks now obviously you cantell I did not use very many of these Iused to I use the honey one and I usethe charcoal one and the charcoal one toirritate my skin but I can't but thehoney would actually make my skin feltitchy and irritated so like I mentionedI tried the charcoal and the other nightit is true back in the packaging butthese are definitely fragrance today I'mgoing to be trying this one on so thisis a cotton sheet mask looks like thisthe one that I tried the charcoal onedry it out pretty quickly it was on myface for like 10-15 minutes and it waspretty much dry after that these aredefinitely not the best quality um sheetmasks I've ever triedokay so I've had this on my skin out forfive minutes I'm gonna take it offbecause I can feel it starting toirritate my skin I'm gonna go wash myface now before I get contact dermatitisfrom something in this I didn't have anyreal reactions with the charcoal one butyeah I'll be right back a good a goodwash my face I look to the ingredientsand on Naaman specifically the onlything that I could find that wouldreally irritate my skin is thatfragrance and another thing that I dowant to know if these have parabens inthem specifically it has a methyl carbonin it now there's controversy behindparabens studies show that is completelysafe for cosmetic use some people sayit's very not safe for use on the skinsupposed to be is some type ofcarcinogen for the most part I thinkcompanies try to avoid parabens at leastusing a pair of it as a preservativebecause it's just safer not to have itin it and use something else overallthese are very mediocre sheet masks atbestI definitely just had a sheet mask thatI liked more even though these wereaffordable I just sound quality youreally get what you pay for with thesesheet masks they dry it out within 10 to15 minutes the sheet mask itself whatdid not feel very high quality and Ijust again wouldn't recommend these Iguess this next product is kind ofskincare kind of cosmetic it's likehalfway between this is the etude houseof my lash serum and this is actuallythe first lash serum I've used becauseif you guys have been on my channel fora while you guys don't know I have verysensitive eyes and to start off I guessI should show you guys what my eyelasheslook like before so we can see ifthere's any growth so I'm gonna show youguys the best of my ability what myeyelashes look like before using thelash theorem[Music]good news did not make my eyelashes fallout and I didn't have any sensitivity tothis I felt that this was actually afairly nice product I didn't necessarilynotice any type of growth or any type ofthickening of my lashes I think ifanything my eyelashes just seemed alittle bit more conditioned and I diduse this at least once a day sometimestwo if I remember to do it eithermorning or night but I didn't noticeanything crazynow this to me was essentially an extrastep I had to do and another step that Ikind of had to apply and have it grownmy lashes to the point where it lookedlike I was wearing false lashes or was atraumatic difference I would sayabsolutely I would use this but sinceI'm such a subtle difference I justthink it's something excessive that Iwouldn't necessarily go back to usingadditional notes about this product if Iuse this in the morning before I appliedmy mascara what I would do is I wouldlet this dry on my lashes and then applymy mascara after and I really didn'tnotice the difference with how mymascara applied how long it lasted oranything like that so if you are lookingto use this in the morning before yourmakeup it doesn't really affect mymascara at least for me it doesn't lessthan obviously have you only make aproduct that I purchased for this videowhich is the petit petit peri's inkvelvet the shade is that I got my in wasnumber 14 I'm actually wearing thisshade in particular on my lips right nowI also wear this in my skincare shelfievideo where I give you a little tour ofmy skincare shelf which I'll put hereand also link it down below so you guyscan watch that I actually had onealready in the shade number 8 and thisis something that I also enjoyed usingthe consistency of this is a bit of athicker consistency and as you can kindof tell it's not quite a matte but it'snot quite a shiny tint it's more ofexactly what the name implies it's moreof a velvet texture and consistentsee therefore it does have very nicecoverage it's okay you don't have to goover and layer it several times andstart a song Jodi I feel like these lastabout three to four hours before I needto apply it having said that if I'm noteating or drinking and yeah overall Ithink they're nice lip products thesewill be something I will continue to useand I will possibly buy different colorsof because I do enjoy using them so Iwould recommend those ones are you guysI hope this is helpful for those youguys are kind of curious as to if Amazonhad good Korean beauty products arrangedhigher on their search engine when youtype in Korean Beauty to be honestAmazon is somewhere is that I buy a lotof my Korean beauty products now justbecause I love me some Amazon from andI'm not very patient so if I'm get myproducts in a day or two that's always abonus so I don't want this to be likeAmazon does not carry a good communityproducts it's just some of the morepopular products I think there are a lotbetter Korean beauty products out thereso yeah I will go ahead and link theseproducts down below in the descriptionbox below just in case you're curiousabout checking them out or you want topurchase these products or anything likethatand as always if you guys are happy andhealthy and / you – great commentsubscribe share with your friends andfamily and I'll see you guys at my nextvideo bye[Music][Music]

toproducts and we'll take a look at howthis works so let's go to all productsand I've got loads and loads of new yournotifications up here so I'm just goingto get out get rid of some of these soI'm gonna say maybe later for this andI'm just going to click on skip set upfor the cart flows plug-in because we'renot going to use that and I'm just goingto click on the cross for this and I'mgonna keep this because we can run thesetup for WooCommerce and a little bitand then I've got a little messagesaying your store does not appear to beusing a secure connection we highlyrecommend serving your entire websiteover an HTTPS connection and this isobviously because it's a shop and thisis really really important and we'll besetting this up in a little bit and thisis what the SSL certificate is for andI'll be explaining all about how you canset that up a bit later you have to goover to Hostgator and ask them to put itup and set up for you but we'll be goingthrough that a bit later so I'm going tokeep that up to remind me to do it laterand here itsaying you can try the new version ofWooCommerce but I'm not going to botherwith this but feel free of course if youwant to you can keep this message up andtry it later whatever you want really soyou all you do is click on installWooCommerce admin but I'm not gonna dothis for now so I'm just gonna click ondismiss and at the top there is anotherone saying configure Google Analyticsand Google Analytics is a whole othervideo is really really in-depth to dowith statistics are all about yourwebsite who's visiting and new your yourviewers and your customersit goes into quite a lot of depth it issomething that you could get into afterwatching this video if you want to Iwon't be explaining how to use it inthis video because as I said it caneasily be another hour-long videoexplaining all about it and the bestways to use it and how to use it but wedo have a video on my channel if you dowant to get into that and also on ourblog so take a look at those if you dowant to start using Google Analytics andto get rid of this message you justuninstall the plug-in because you'vealready got the plug-in installed bydefault so here we are in products nowyou've got some default products alreadyset up which came with your shopstemplate and this is really good becauseI'm gonna it lets me explain how theseproducts look and kind of function andwhat all this means so obviously you'vegot the name of the product here thenyou've got an SKU and an SKU is a stockkeeping unit it's a number assigned to aproduct by a shop and you can use SK useto track inventory in your shop and theycan be really helpful but I'm not goingto use it in this video or in the shopgoing forwards then you've got stock andthis is going to say if the product isin stock or not then you've got a priceand if you see a price like this whichis crossed out that means it's on saleso this used to be 150 but now it's a120 then the category this is women'sand then there's men and whatevercategory you assign for that productwill be here then you've got tags andthis little starit's something that you can choose foreach product if you want it featured inthe featured product section on yourhome page and we're going to be gettinginto that in a moment I'll explain allabout that in a minute and then the dateis when you created this product solet's now scroll over one of theproducts here so let's take for examplejust this this white shoe right soyou've got edit you've got quick edityou can trash it you can view it and youcan duplicate so if I click on a quickedit you can change simple things likethe title even the date when it wascreated you can make it private if youdon't want it to show in your shop andhere you've got the product data so theSKU again the price if it's on sale youcan put a price there even the weightand the length the width and the heightthat's to do with shipping of course andthen shipping class which we'll begetting into a bit later this is reallyreally important to set up your yourpostage costs and your shipping costsand then the visibility and if you wantit to be managed the stock managed stockso that means you can automatically putit out of stock if you've only got a fewof these or something like soil they'llautomatically say to your customers oron your website that it's out of stockif it's been bought a certain number oftimes for example then you can add someproduct tags up here you can even changethe template and you've got categorieson the right and then you can change thestatus of this product if you don't

the description that is justunderneath the title of the product andnext to the picture like you see here sothis is going to be the shortdescription and then the maindescription that is above is here downhere then these products look absolutelyamazing as you can see if I scrollaround it zooms in and I can change theimage just like that it's justincredible people can add as many asthey want and then add to but add tocart' and then you've got relatedproducts underneath this looks just sogoodso let's keep going so here we are againand underneath you've got reviews andobviously there's no comments yet thisis just a demo site on the right you'vegot a few things to consider so you'vegot product categories herenow a category can be really useful ifyou want people to find other otherproducts in that category so this one isin women's so obviously if someone isviewing this product they can click onthis category and it will show themother products in the same category sothat can obviously be good to get yourproducts in front of people and thenproduct tags underneath there your postattributes and these settings for thesethemes so Astra settings now I wouldn'tchange it I

we if we have alook in the featured product sectionhere this is the product image the mainproduct underneath my cursor here so ifI now click on that see it changes as Iscrolled over it that would be the otherimage the product gallery so again thisis the product image and then the otherproduct other image is the image in theproduct gallery you've got tools here tochange how the text looks if you want tochange any of those that they're rightthere really easy to do that and againyou've got those there and it's as easyas that to create products in your shopso we'll be coming back to the productsand creating our products in a minutebut now let's go to pages and all pagesand as you can see in a minute you'regoing to have some default pages thatare already created with your with yournew shop so again it's done all of thisfor you you haven't had to create any ofthese pages and you've got about you'vegot a cart page checkout contact us homemy account we're not going to use anaccount in this in this video but youcan you can always set that up afterwatching this it's prettystraightforward you've got a privacypolicy a sample page a store which atthe moment is your shop page and a WPforms preview so I'm just going toremove a few of these pages that wearen't going to useI'm gonna click on those two and I'malso going to remove the account pageyou can keep this but I'm not going touse it and that's it for that I'm goingto keep everything else so now I'llscroll up here click here and click onmove to trash and apply alright so I'mleft with the about page and so on andwe actually only need two it looks likewe've got a lot of pages here too toedit and customize but we really don'twe're only going to do the about contactand home page and that's it the otherpages work on their own they're alreadyset up and functional they're going todo everything for you don't need tochange anything there the only thing wemight have to do later on is come backand edit each of these pages and justchange a couple of settings but I don'tthink we have to right now I thinkthey're all working completely fine sonow I'm going to go through doingcustomizing the home page and you dothat by clicking on edit with Elementorso let's do that right now I'm going toactually open this in a new tab so I canchange and click between windows righthere make things it just makes thingsmuch easier so here we go it's goinginto Elementor and as I said Elementoris just incredible as you can see or asI so this is your your header here thisis if I click here it opens up and makesit full width and this is really reallylooking amazing so if I bring back thecustomizer again as you can see as Iscroll around each of these elements hasa blue line around it and this means Ican edit anything here even thebackground image you can move textaround and change colors and fonts andeverything you can add in your ownimages and videos and I'm going to showyou exactly how to do that right now sohere I am on the finished website andthis is my header now all I've done ischange the background image and got ridof one of these buttons because I thinkthat looks much better and I'm going toshow you how to do all of this how tochange this textthe colors or whatever you want to do solet's go back to the home and so tochange the image is really simple you'vegot these different buttons up hereyou've this middle one is exactly howyou would change you image you can editthis section and then here is you canadd a section and if you click that it'sgoing to add a new section above hereI'm not going to do that but that's howyou do it so and then here you can clickon the cross to remove it so let's clickthe middle one to edit the section andthen this brings up the settings on theleft let's go to style and then in imagethis is exactly how you change the imageyou just click here and you can go toyour media library where you're mostlikely going to have lots of new imagesbecause these came with the templatesand you could if you wanted to you coulduse any of these if you do want to theyhave completely free features or you canupload files so I've put together areally really good selection of imagesfor you to use and you can find thatover on our blog if you just go towebsites made easy TV forward slash blogforward slash start your dream shop andyou can download that image pack righthere you just click here and it willdownload and then if you go back inElementor and you click on select filesand then find that image pack you've gotthese background images or whatever theyou newsies anywhere but these are thebackground images I think look reallygood and then you've got some images touse as products and you can just usethese for the video so you can followalong with me if you haven't got yourown products yet this just means you canfollow along with the video keep goingwith me and learn how to do this onceyou've got photos of your own images youcan then just re-upload those and and soon this just makes things really easyfor you so let's go back and I'm goingto use one of these background images Ithink I'm going to use this one becauseI just love this one it looks reallygood so click on it and click on openand that's going to upload as you cansee it's uploading right now and therewe go it's uploaded and in the future ifthis comes up with an error or anythingjust come out of here save anything thatyou've done by updating and then refreshthe page then do it again and it'll worksometimes you just need to refresh thepage for things to start working againfor some reason anyway so that'suploaded so now all you do is click oninsert media here and there we go it'sinserted out straight into your headerand that is looking absolutely amazingit's looking so much better so if I makethis full web how good does that lookWow okay I just like to love it so herewe go here you've got some settings forthis imageyou've got position which is at themoment on Center Center you can changethis to top left and this is going tomove the image around slightly dependingon the image that you use but I'm justgoing to leave on Center Center that canbe useful as I said depending on whatpicture you're using what you want toshow it in and so on attachment I likeit to be on fixed because that's whatgives it this really nice parallaxeffectit keeps the image in place when youscroll about and that looks really coolbut you can always keep it on a scrolland that will make sure the imageScrolls as the viewer looks around so itscrolls with the website I'm going tokeep it on fixed you don't need to worryabout repeat and size you generally youwant to keep it on cover and that'spretty much about it in backgroundoverlay this can be useful if you wantto darken or lighten the image at themoment it's got an overlay which is ablack and the opacity as you can see ison 0.4 if I increase this it's going todarken it and then if I decrease it likethat it's going to lighten it so I'mjust gonna probably keep it on a whatabout something like that or somethingyeah no it's good just like that andthen you've kundur Neath that you've gotborder shape divider and typography it'sgoing to shape divider that can be quitefun sometimes so if I go to bottom topand bottom the top is thetop of the section or your header hereand the bottom is the obviously thebottom of it so let's click on bottomand then you can select the type ofdivider so you'll see what I mean when Iadd on so let's add in let's just add ina tilt and there we go so it's added adivider I know it's long it's prettygood you can change the height a bithere just like that so you could justhave it a slight slight divider orsomething like that at the bottom thatdoes look really nice I'm not going touse one but that is there if you want itso it's going to click on none andthat's going to remove it like thatand that's it for changing an image thisis basically the same for every sectionon your on your website you would clickthis middle button and that will bringup the settings on the left here you canalso change the headers margin andpadding here as well so as you can seeit's got a top padding of 12 if Iincrease this it's going to move thingsdown if I decrease it moves up it'sgoing to keep on what it was becausethat looks really good and you messaround with us see how you like it itdoes change things slightly so it can bereally useful on depending depending onwhat you want to do with your header andthen layout you've also got some somedifferent options but you really don'tneed to change these if you don't wantto play around with things if you wantand see how things work because you canalways you know learn more and you youmight find something that you like to doanyway so that's the image done tochange text it's as easy as clicking onit so let's just click on this one thenyou would write anything here you'dwrite what you want in here you cancreate a link out of it as well if youjust paste the link in there you canalign it to the center or the left andthen in style this is where you changethe typography and the text color so ifI click on typography you can changewhat font that you want to use and andso on and the size you would justincrease and decrease this really reallyeasy to doand then the way this is this can bereally good if I changes to 300 makesthe makes the writing thinner which canlook really really good I'm just goingto keep you on what it was because I dolike the look of this and then obviouslyin text color you can mess around withthis and change it to any color that youwant I'm just going to keep on what itwas though and you know you don't reallyneed to do a lot here it's as I saidthis is the beauty of this video andthis template it's done everything foryou so really you don't need to changethis text just right in what you wantand leave it as it is make things easierfor yourself then you've got a couple ofbuttons here these are just as easy I'mgoing to remove one of these you cankeep it if you want to but I'm justgoing to remove it by right-clickingthis pencil icon and clicking on deleteand for this button all you do is clickon it then in here the text you'd writewhat you want so SHOP NOW or find outmore or whatever you want you can alignit again and here you would paste in thelink for that button so if you wanted totake people to your shop you would pasteyour shops link in there and to do thatprobably the best way is to open up yourshop in a new window while probablybetter to do it while you're not loggedinto your your website and thenobviously up in the address bar up hereis going to be the link and you justcopy you copy that while you're in theshop you copy that link and it's mostlikely gonna be something like your shopcomm the forward slash shop or somethinglike that and then all you do is justpaste that in there then you've got somelink options and this is probably quitegood open in a new window that canalways be good so I'm gonna keep thatand that's about it then you've got thesize you can change it to a medium orsmall and in style this is where you canchange the color of the button so at themoment the text color is black thebackground color is white and that is onnormal so this means while this meanswhile no one is scrolling over it so ifI make this full screennow scroll over here changes just likethat so it changes so the background istransparent and the writing changes to awhite that looks really really good andso that all happens in hover here so asyou can see the text color is whitebackground color there is none it'stransparent and as well the border coloris transparent – you can also have ahover animation here so if I chooselet's go with grow there we go so itmakes it as have a look so the buttongrows in size when I scroll over it allit's good as well so that's all therefor you I'm not going to have that one'sgonna remove that and then you canchange the width and the border radiusand padding of the button here this isall really useful to again customizeexactly customize your shop – exactlyhow you want it in advanced you've gotthe margin and padding again so this isreally useful if you want to again moveyour move different elements around soit's completely flexible so if Iincrease to the top padding you're goingto see that the button goes lower downthe header and then of course if Idecrease it comes back up again and youcan do this any way you want right leftany anything that you want here you gotthings like motion effects andbackground border a custom positioningresponsive responsive can be useful soif you've got so if you want tocustomize how your website or your shoplooks on a mobile device compared to alaptop or desktop you can choose to hidethis whole header on a mobile so itwon't show to people that visit yourshop on mobiles and then you can createa separate header for those peoplebecause your header might not lookexactly perfect to someone that visitson a mobile thankfully though we don'tneed to use this because this theme soif I just move this windowto how I move our looks so that is howyour shop would look on a mobile that'show the header would look and it looksperfectly fine it looks amazing in factso you don't really need to use thosesettings but they are there if you wantto use them and that's your header doneyou know everything of how to customizeyour header that's all done now so let'sgo to the next section which is andthese could be the different brands thatyou work with all the different brandsin

here is what it actually issupposed to look like and as I scrollover these these products as you can seesome of the image change they go toanother image and I think this looksreally really good and I'm going to showyou how you can make that happen and howhow to make that work in a moment whenwe create off our products and I tookyou through obviously like how whatproducts look like but I didn't

thatotherwise you can go back to yourdashboard from element I like I showedyou earlier so now let's go to productsand all products and here you're goingto see that you've got lots and lots ofdefault products already created andthis came with the the template when weimported it so no worries about that butwhere we obviously don't want these sowe're going to delete these and we'regoing to create some new productsthere's quite a fair few defaultproducts here so what I'm going to do isclick here to select all of these andthen from this drop-down select move totrash and apply and there's a few pagesof these so I'm going to keep on doingthat until I get to the last page andthen here I'm gonna select all of thembut take off one or two keep one or twoof these and then apply and there we goyou should be left with a couple of justdefault products because um well this isjust for the demo website so you can seeit working and so on but obviously youwould create your own products I'm goingforward you don't want to use thesedefault ones and over here you can seethis star this is what you want toselect to make an individual product afeatured product so you just click onthis to make

thepostage for each individual product solet's say for this poster obviously it'snot going to be as much as a surfboardsso then based on what someone wants tobuy the postage will change in thecheckout so it's pretty clever it worksreally well and it isn't complicated butI will show you how to do it you justneed to learn how to do it and then onceyou've done it once or twice you'll geta hang of it no problem and we'll bedoing that in a moment I'll show you allabout that soon and then I don't use anyany of these other options here so thenI'll scroll down and I'll paste the samedescription in

obviouslyyou've got margin and padding andadvanced but that is about it so I'mhappy to say you've got this sectionunderneath actually but remember we'vedone this before you click to edit andin fact this as you can see is the sameas your team member section it's thesame kind of same kind of element you'vegot the link down here so you'vefinished your about page and that islooking absolutely amazing hope you'rehappy you've got you can you can clickhere you can move things around byclicking and dragging just like this ifyou wanted to now that can be reallyuseful obviously torearrange how your website looks or howyour shop looks I'm just going to movethat down there againwherever there's a blue line you canmove it too and I'm going to remove afew things I'm I'm not gonna remove thiswhole section but you would do you couldby clicking that I'm not gonna removethat I'm gonna remove this one now andI'll remove one section of these I thinkjust here there we go I notice thatlooks better and then always remember toupdate when you've made some changes andthere we go there we go guysthere's your about page just play aroundhave some fun make it how you want to doyou go back to your dashboard click hereexit the dashboard okay so now let's goback to pages and all pages and I'mgoing to show you how to do your contactpage so again click on edit withElementor and here it is so the image atthe top is just the same you've got textit's all the same as you've just donebasically there's nothing different hereapart from this contact this contactform which I'll be explaining in aminute so and as here's that sectionagain this is looking great as usual soto edit the image you click here as youas alwaysstyle and you can change that imageclick here for the text and style youknow this already by now and then thenthis text is the same all this is allthe same apart from this email link herenow this hasn't got a link right now butto do that you just highlight it on theleft you highlight that and then youclick insert link right there and thenyou would type in mail to comma or colonand then your email right there and thenthen confirm that by that by clickinghere and then that has turned it into aclickable link so people can click thatand that will open up thereup or whatever and they can email youdirectly from their phone or or a laptopthat's what it looks like on thefinished website so perfect so as I saiddown here you've got a contact form sothis this is a completely optionalit looks amazing but as you can see if Iclick it you've got a little short codehere that says WP forms now to use thisthis is actually a paid plugin and it'snot very expensive it's only I thinkit's around 30 or 40 dollars for theyear and it works amazingly I'm notgoing to explain how to use it in thisvideo but it's so straightforward if youdid want to keep this and use it it'llbe on your toolbar on the Left it's veryvery easy just go and have a look butI'm not going to show you because I'mgoing to show you a free way that peoplecan contact you and both ways are reallygood it's completely up to you what youwant to do if you want a free way if youwant to pay for it right now I'm goingto show you how to do that right now butyeah this is WP forms and it's a paidplugin so I'm just going to remove thisjust like that and then I'm gonna removethat as well and okay so I'm going toadd in some social media icons byclicking here and I'm going to click anddrag those those social icons there I'mgoing to align them to the left andresize them so using social mediaplatforms people can contact you but italso grows your community so is doesboth both ways it's fantastic and againyou just add in your Facebook page linkthere and your Twitter and so on you canadd new items there adding anything youwant all kinds of platforms so that is afree way of doing it instead of payingfor WP forms or another plug-in ofcourse getting people to enter theiremail on a form is a hugely beneficialway of building up your email list andI'm not going to go into that in thisvideo but we have many many videos onour channel that tell you all aboutbuilding an email list our word deaf anddefinitely recommend starting to buildan email list especially if you've got ashop it's really really important tostart doing that so yeah go and have alook at one of our videos that explainsall about that that will that would be avery very good step for you and also ifyou ever want to undo something or goback in time on your shop you can clickhere and you've got history here and youjust click this to go back to somethingthat you had before this only works ifyou haven't updated though so if youhaven't updated for the last half anhour or something you can go back a halfan hour ago to help whatever it was ifyou if you did something you don't wantanymore something that is how you can dothat okay now I want to show you how tocustomize things on your shop thingslike the logo at the top and the defaultcolors as well as some really reallyuseful other things so we want to go toyour parents and customize here this isgoing to take you to the customizer andit's kind of like the kind of the insideof your shop or your website like abehind-the-scenes or something like thatso here you've got some differentoptions as you can see shows you a livepreview of your shop here which isreally useful for when you're editing itand as well you can see you've got someof those shortcuts pencil icon is goingto take you to the menu options andthings like this this is going to takeyou to the logo we're going to be usingthose in a minute so on the Left you'vegot different options you've got alayout and you've got a header siteidentity so it looks like we can do ourlogo here in fact so yeah I'll explainthat to you right now since we're hereso you can obviously change the logo oryou can remove it they've also bydefault got a retina logo you can changeto have a different logo for mobiledevices and that is really usefulbecause obviously mobiles or iPads aremuch smaller so you don't need a such ahigh resolution imageso that can be good logo widthyou've got your site title there andyour tagline so make sure to fill thosein does the site title whatever you knowwhat your company name is or somethingand your tagline just say a you knowhave a brief description of what you dowhat your company does and you candisplay the site title or site titletagline here you can have it in linewith the logo and site height or anothersite icon which is the icon next to yourweb address here you'll be up hereyou've probably seen it before like inGoogle they've got a thing they calllike a G or something so that's the logothat's pretty straightforward you justyou know change it and or you remove itcompletely you don't have to haveanything now if you don't want to solet's go back then you've got primaryheader got different layouts here youwant to kind of be careful what you playaround with here you're not going tobreak anything because if you dosomething you don't like to save it youhave to publish anyway so you know youcould just you know play around and seewhat happens with things but just becareful that you don't completely messeverything up and then click on publishyou know you can always just click outof here or go back so let's go back andthen we've got a transparent header andagain this is uh different logos and youcan enable on desktop so this means theheader is transparent you see it'ssee-through like up here the the menuthere's nothing behind it it's just theimage on the header that looks fantasticso I wouldn't change anything now solet's go back again you've got all kindsof things here so you've got a blog hereas well if you're thinking of having ablog it's a hugely beneficial thing tohave we've got a video all about it it'svery very easy to get started but I'mnot gonna go into that in this video butagain if you've got a shop obviouslyyou've got a shop pewters made yourwebsite but having a shop and uptogether is really really as such a goodidea having a blog brings people whichyour website brings people to your shopit's just another way to get yourproducts and your brand and your companyin front of in front of eyes in front ofpeople out there you wanna make it aseasy as possible for people to get toknow you so having a blog does exactlythat it's really really good yoursidebar options you've got your footeroptions here footer widgets we wentthrough that already footer barso you've got we scroll down you've gotthis copy of right these copyrightdetails down here so you might not wantto have that and you can disable thatright there just click on disable or youcan change what it says here in adifferent section section 1 and section2 so that's really easy you've gotfooter bar width is why you can changehow it looksthat's all straightforward and easyyou've got WooCommerce here as well andshop so you've got your shop columns howthe products are structured so the titleis gonna be first then the categoryprice ratings you don't want to showsomething such as ratings you can justclick on I here and because it's grayedout it's not going to show that sothat's easypretty straightforward again you canchoose how many products per page thereand then your container all kinds ofoptions herecolors and background I like the defaultcolors to your to your shop so you canlike a theme color link color thingslike that you can change those inElementor as well so you've got theheader kind of colors there as wellso the go up to the menu you've got themenu colors there and you can possiblylink archives of the menu this has menucolors there you can change those thereand footer widgets again at a bartypography is the overall typeagra fee for your shop and you have blogthere as well you've got buttons themebutton there we go that's how you canedit that and yeahI would literally got menus here changeyour menus but I think it's probablyeasier to do that how I showed youearlier it's much betterwidgets home page settings or wouldn'tchanges us once you do have a blog youwant to change posts page to blog andthen it will start showing up then itwill start showing your blog for thedifferent with different blog posts thatyou've created you've got a WooCommerceoption here so you've got store noticeso if you wanted to you can enable astore notice which is going to show upif we enable this it's going to show upa little notice at the top so this canbe really really good if you've got asale or something people will see thisimmediately when they go to your to yourshop that can be really really good yougot product catalog so the shop pagedisplays products or categories oranything you want their categoriesdisplay the products product images youcan change the main width and thethumbnail ratios there and the checkoutcompany name and all of their privacypolicy all kinds of options so look intoit and based on your company in who youare you might want to change a fewthings but it all is all workingperfectly so there's not a lot to doyou've got additional CSS here if youwant to ever use that and that is

on the build show today top-five dumbestbuilding products let's get going tothis one right here number one on mylist this one has bugged me for yearsthis is a cardboard sheathing basicallya paper-based sheathing product can youbelieve that this is used all over thecountry this has been in use probablyfor 20 or 30 years in America and stilltoday I'm in a brand new house in anunknown location look at thatcardboard sheathing here's a littlesample of it right hereprefer not to show you the manufacturerno need to have them call me but look atthis this is basically a cardboardsheathing a paper-based sheathing thathas some kind of a plasticy finish onthe outside but think how well that isgonna last on this building and this isalso the waterproofing layer look atthat I can literally rip the sheathingand that's what's doing the shear onthis house that's also what's keepingthe water out of the house how do you doanything for this this is terrible lookit's also super susceptible to thejobsite damage probably the Mason orsomebody poked this on the outside we'vegot a big rip right here the only thingthe Builder can do to waterproof it isuse some spray foam around there butlook at this I mean this is thesheathing for the house and this houseis meant to last I don't understand howwe're paper-based product is gonna workokay number two on my list pin punchedplastic house wraps you know these aresold this particular one is sold underseveral different brand names I'm sureit's third party labeled but you cantell by the kind of crosshatch label ifyou look up close on here and if youhold it up to the Sun or a bright lightsource you can actually see pinpointlight sources out of there it'sbasically a plastic wrap that they punchpin needles through there and that's howthey get the permeability but check thisout this house wrap is totally notwaterproof here's a little test you cando for any house wrap to see how well itdoes and let alone we're adding let'ssay we're adding some staples when weadd it to the wall of a house but let'scheck this out real quick quickdemonstration I put some water on thetop of the house wrap I put a papertowel underneath we're gonna let thissit for about five minutes and come backand see what it looks like okay it'sbeen likefour minutes let's see how this housewrap did on a waterproofing test againremember there's no punctures in this wedidn't do anything to this we didn'tstaple through it and let's look at ithere's my little bounty right therecheck that out look that hold it up tothe light this is not a waterproof housewrap we do not want this on ourbuildings because our sensitive buildingmaterials are going to get wet this testwas for five minutes and this test isclearly showing this house rap let'swater through you do not want apin-basedhouse rap number three on my listrecessed tankless units now this one isset up for a brick or a stone facade onthe outside but look at this recess unitright here they had to cut it into thesheathing and the tank is actuallyrecessed back in here now it's not thetankless unit itself it's this recessedkit that I think is terrible terribleproduct and let me show you why let'swalk around the inside I'm going to showyou what's back there follow me it'sthis right here that I don't like sothis this guy's flushed out with a 2x4wall on the inside you can see this hereand see how much light we've got showingaround here so it's really hard to airseal these now we are in a garage inthis particular location but my biggestissue with these recessed tankless isright here look we've got all our supplypipes coming in here we've got a gasline looks like we've got water supplyhere and then hot is coming out howwould you ever both air seal this buthow do you keep the water out – andyou've got a recessed tankless like thiswe just have a one or two foot overhangon the outside there's gonna be waterinside this unit and then it's going toleak down into here which means that tenyears fifteen years from now this wholecavity is gonna be a mess there's evenbe mold growth in here there's gonna berot I just don't like them it's not agood idea we should either mount thistankless in the garage and then thenpipe it through the roof or a directline out or we should mount it on theoutside of the cladding and let the letit show these recessed boxes dumbproducts not a fannumber four in my list paper baseflashing look at this you see thisdetail all over Texas where the framersput this on but before they put thesheathing on on the outside of the wallthe idea is this is meant to protectwater from coming up underneath thisbottom platebut what it's not doing is notprotecting the sensitive edge at thebottom of the sheathing now Huber zipgreat product but on this cut edge weneed to protect that from moisture comeon around here and I'm going to show youwhat's happening so here's our brickledge right here and this paper-basedflashing this is gonna degrade within areally short period of time I remodeledthe house just a couple years ago thatwas maybe six seven years old and thiswas absolutely mush you could pull itapart after just a couple of short yearsso this is number one not gonna protectthe water from coming back underneaththat bottom plate but it's also notgonna protect this cut edge on our OSBsheathing right here that's not good wewant to protect that sheathing the wayto do this correctly is to use aflashing that's gonna come down here andcome on to the brick ledge I madeanother video on this a while back onhow to do this correctly with some prosto go products and protect this bottomedge I'll put a link in the descriptionto do this right but paper base flashingdumb product and last but not leastnumber five direct vent gas fireplacesthis is a dumb building product weshould stop using these these cheapmetal boxes with these cheesy log setsyou're not fooling anybody no one thinksthis is a real fire in your house buthere's the real problem I have withthese see how this flue right here goesthrough the sidewall this is a directevent unit these flus have two bigproblems number one it's a huge hole inyour thermal envelope see how you haveno insulation around that that flue getsreally hot because we've got those hotgases going through there so we can'tlet anything touch it no combustiblescan be around there number two it's alsoa huge air leak and most installationsI've seen see where we've got thatcaller right there around that fluecoming through we can't seal that callerwe can't use spray foam in there wecan't use a cocking because it needs tobe able to be combustion ready and wedon't want it getting super hot as aresult you basically have a giant airleak every time you put one of these inthe house air leak means energy loss italso means any time air can get in thatalso could be a source for bugs get inyour house this is as if we have awindow that's cracked in our house thatwe can never close for the life of thebuilding we don't want one of these guysdo not youa direct vent gas fireplace and whilewe're on the topic don't put a ventlessfireplace either either in that is ahuge nono guys hope

in this video I will show you everythingyou need to know to set up your firstonline store using Wix so this is atutorial for e-commerce websites usingWix which is obviously an extremelypowerful tool so many people use it tobuild their websites because it's verypowerful it's very easy and it's prettyaffordable as far as website builders goso with that in mind if you're choosingWix to build your site this video willbe a step-by-step tutorial showing youeverything you need to know all thetools all of the settings to take youfrom an absolute beginner to having afull-blown store at the end of thisvideo so with that in mind we have a lotto cover here stick around for theentire video and the first thing we wantto do is actually open up a browserI recommend Google Chrome hopefullythat's what you're watching this videoon already if not any other browserworks Google Chrome I find is a littlebetter though just because you can havesome extensions that further on down theroad might help with your website but ifyou're building it on a differentbrowser that's not a problem so what youwant to do is go down in the descriptionof this videohold down ctrl on your keyboard andclick on the link at the top of thedescription and that will open up a newtab and it should look something likewhat we're seeing right here now insteadit might have a big picture and a bigblue button in the middle click on thethe button will probably say get startedor something click on that create anaccount and it'll bring you to this pageright here now this page what we want todo is go up to the top right click onthe create new site button and we'regetting started with our site so itopens up a new tab here and asks us whattype of website we want to create now aquick disclaimer Wix from time to timemay change the first step here it mightlook slightly different but if it looksdifferent for you just stick around I'msure it'll look similar in a couplesteps down the road so what we have hereis many options we can choose businessdesigner blog we're setting up an onlinestore so it makes sense to click thatnow and what that is essentially doingis it's adding the application to ourwebsite to have an online store so it'sadding the cart the Thank You page theproducts like stuff like that is beingadded right now now if we use any otheryou know a photography layout or if weuse other layout whatever you're usingif you use those you can still add astore later on and I'll show you whereyou woulddo that but for us we're just going toclick online store make our lives alittle bit easier now the next step isto choose if we want the ADI creator orif we want the Wix website editor so theADI creator goes through a bunch ofquestions and just kind of puts yourwebsite out right away it's less it'sless customizable so you can't optimizeit quite as much but it is a lot quickernow in this video first stores if you'rebeing serious about your business Ireally recommend you go to choose atemplate with the Wix editor so we'regoing to do that in this video and itbrings you to this template page righthere now remember before I said that itdidn't really matter what you clicked onin the first step that's because all ofthose are on the left side so businessis right there photography video itdoesn't really matter you can click onany of those in the first step and itjust brings you to this makes it seemeasier it's really the same thing sofrom here what you want to do is go downand choose a template that you thinklooks good it doesn't really matterwhich one you choose obviously thepictures will all beat you can changeall the pictures all the color all thetext but choosing one that is similar towhat you want in the end will save youwork so for our purposes right here weare going to go down to this one righthere the plant we're gonna sell someyeah let's just sell some plants I guessright so let's go down and you canactually view it first to see more aboutit so it's not just a little tiny iconthere so if you go to view you can get agood experience of what it's like soscroll down you know click on things seewhat it looks like and you know what Ithink this one looks like it's a prettygood for us I like the little image inthe background at the top and yeah so ifthis is what we want you can go to editthis site or you can actually go backand choose a different one so we aregoing to edit this site I think this isa good one for our needs right here andit starts setting it up again withanother tab with the Wix website editorit may take a few minutes but you shouldend up on a page it looks something likethis now what we're going to see here isacross the top a menu bar and on theleft side all these little bubbles thatessentially allow you to customize yourwebsite a little bit more now no matterwhich template you chose there are goingto be a lot of similar features here butfor example when we go to the top leftthe first thing is your pages and itshows you all of the different pages youhavewebsite and of course this is going tobe different for everybody depending onthe template you chose but for the paidfor the template I chose we have home wehave got shop right there you haveshipping and returns you have a pageabout the privacy policy and so you canclick on any one of those pages andit'll bring you into the editor for thatpage so if you want to go and changeyour privacy policy you click on that upat the top and then down here you canclick on anything you want then you canedit the text you can move it around solet's say this one right here if we wantto change the privacy policy we canclick on edit text right there we canchange it to whatever we want so we canchange it to whatever we want and thenwithin that you can also change thetheme of it so you can change it if it'slike a header or something you canchange the font and of course adding toomany fonts will slow down your loadspeed I recommend sticking to like oneor two fonts to make things quicker andeasier to read you can change the fontsize you can do all the normal textediting here with color underliningmaking it left aligned right aligned youcan change some effects with it and alot of stuff like that now one thingthat is really useful and I point thisout a lot I'll point it out later on inthe video as well but you can go and addlinks so if you want if you want righthere this is supposed to somebody clickon that if you want that to be aclickable link you can have that textlinked to either a web address or a pagewithin your website an anchor and I'lltalk about anchors later on in the videothe top of the page the bottom of thepage so for now let's just say it linksto the top of the page for some reasonand so that's how we're going to beediting text so that is just one of themany things you can do here I'll talkmore about editing a little bit later onif you want to see it in mobile modewhich I highly recommend most traffic onthe Internet is actually on phones thesedays what you want to do is go to switchto mobile mode and while the editing isslightly more limited here it isactually a great way to at least checkit out make sure text isn't cut off movethings around and just make sure thatyour site is optimized for the mobileversion now let's go back to the desktopso switch to desktop toggle reallyeasily across the top and then goingacross here you can actually go to sitewhich is how you save it you can previewit in preview just shows you what itwould look like if youactually went to the website as long asit's unpublished you can publish it andthen actually go to the website in a newtab and that's essentially all we wantto really do right there site historyyou could really like roll it back ifyou need to so next we have settingswhich allows you to connect a domain anda domain is obviously very importantthat makes it so that your website islike Santro mediacom instead of micwix.com slash sand trail media which isobviously all over the place and veryhard to find and not a good website sowe will connect in domain I'll show youhow in a in a few minutes we can get amailbox which means get G suite on hereso if you want to be my cats AntrimMediacom it's much more professionalthan like my cat gmail.com which seemslike you're not really running a realbusiness now we go down to upgrade andupgrade of course will allow you toactually use the website with the domainand everything I just talked about butbefore we can upgrade let's go back tosite and go down and save it and whenyou save it it's going to ask you toname it choose a name for it so we'regonna say San trial store for now andthen click done now what we want to dois go back to settings go down toupgrade it'll bring us to a new tab andbecause this is an online store we haveto make sure that we're getting ane-commerce one so business ande-commerce is what we want to choose andit doesn't really matter which one youchoose read through these and selectwhichever one makes the most sense foryour business if you want 35 gigabytes50 20 gigabytesit doesn't quite matter you can doreally lots of different options hereI'm going to select business basic forthis video and then you can chooseeither yearly monthly which of coursemonthly is more expensive or three yearsso the longer your plan is the moremoney you're saving if you think you canhave a business for I mean I recommendat least one or two years I'm doingmonthly right here because I'm notactually doing this it's just for thetutorial but regardless I'm just gonnago and follow through with this and getthe monthly plan for now okay so onceyou put in your credit card and youclick Next it'll bring you to this pageright here and it says congratulationsyour site is premium which is good nowthe next thing we want to do is find adomain for our site so let's say SanTrel media apparel dot-com and saysomething that we want right there soyou go and it says it is availthe next we can say get it and honestlythis is the easiest way to do thissometimes I recommend you go and checkout so it's actually very cheap for $15a year sometimes I recommend you go andget it from Google domains because it ischeaper but there are a few extra stepsif you're interested in that I'll linkout a video in the description where youcan see how I did that in another videobut for this video let's just go and doit this way so we're going to continue$15.00 per year we're going to go downand purchase this so then it asks if youwant it to be a public or privateregistration and I recommend you do thisprivate just so people can't come toyour door and call you and have yourphone number your address and actuallyyou know try to bug you and buy yourdomain so I recommend doing private it'san extra ten dollars per year so you arepaying 25 a year which is a little bitmore expensive but I mean if it's wortha few to save the extra maybe ten ortwelve dollars you can go and do thisthrough Squarespace or through you knowGoogle domains there's a lot of otherways to do this so we're just going tocontinue with this for the purposes ofthis video though so we're going to goand submit the purchase and check outhere while we're kind of going down thisrabbit hole of upgrades here which isvery essential for your website the nextthing you could do is actually go downand buy a mailbox and it's somethingthat it should be prettyself-explanatory I'm not going to getinto that for this video we're focusingon building the website right now andalso I don't want to spend any more ofmy money on this video I respect likefifty dollars there but regardless let'sgo back to our website here and actuallycontinue building it so once we have itupgraded let's go and refresh this siteright here our website builder so wehave a domain as you can see right herewe are done with that so let's close outand go back to our website now it's notpublished yet and it doesn't have to bepublished you can keep saving it as youedit and then publish when you're doneor you can publish it right nowrealistically not many people will beseeing it in the beginning so maybe youwant to publish it and then you can goback and see what it looks like ondifferent monitor is different maybedifferent phones different devices it'ssomething that I recommend just to makesure that it looks good on all thedifferent devices you have so up toplet's make sure that we save this stillsaved and let's continue going acrossthe top so right there you can see thistime that it actually did save it as ourdomain which is good that's exactly whatwe wantedso settings you can get found on Googleand stuff like that that's all moreadvanced stuff that I'm not going tocover in this videothe tools are essentially what you'reseeing so like this little thing righthere tools on the left side so ifanything's missing just go up here andcheck it out and maybe add the rulerruler is a good way to make sure that ifyou want to make sure something centeredaround a third it's pretty easy to go uphere and just click on that and drop aline and move it around so you can findout so if this is like 980 pixels wideas I think it is you can move it to themiddle and say like 400what is that 490 pixels would be abouthalfway so you can move this to 490 andyou can snap things on to the centerright there it's something that doesmake it easier when you're trying tobuild your website and likewise you cando it this way and have things line upusing these little bars now if you don'twant one you just click on it and clickdelete pretty easily pretty pretty easyto do so just click on it click thelittle trash can and it goes away youcan go to dev mode again we're not doingthat in this video we can go to help andwe can go to upgrade which we alreadyupgraded if you need a bigger site ormore storage you can upgrade evenfurther so that's everything across thetop when you go here you can hire a Wixpartner again not really that importantso going up to the top right then wehave zoom out and reorder we have undoredo save preview and publish I talkedabout save preview and publish alreadybut zoom out and reorder is verypowerful early on in your website whenyou're trying to figure out the generalstructure of it the Wix usually buildswebsites with a kind of a stripe layoutso what they do if they have thesesections these blocks that you seethey're highlighted in blue and they allkind of do something different and it'skind of a nice layout but if you want toreorder them you can go and move thisone down and so you can just keep movingit down move it wherever you want to andyou can actually delete them if youdon't want the section you can duplicatethe section or if you need extra spacebetween sections so say you want to addlike some extra pictures in there orsomething you can actually go and clickon the thick blue bar right there anddrag that down so that you end up withmore of that gray space or whatever thebackground color is right there so whenwe're done with that click on the X upon the green thing on the top and itbrings us back to our website editor sothat's everything Italk about across the top now let's getin and actually start building this as astore so before we go in and change thelogo and stuff like that I just want togo down to my store here and startshowing you guys where you can addproducts now if we go and click on mystore it says welcome to my store getstarted and it's going to kind of walkyou through how to add different thingsso we're going to go to the dashboardright there is what it wants you to doyou can add products you can see yourstore pages right here we have fourstore pages so we have shop which islike your main page which shows all ofyour products so think of it as like ifyou go to Walmart calm and you're justscrolling through that that is shop it'sgoing to look like that with all of yourproducts the product page is going to bethe individual product that you'relooking at so how they're laid out whenyou click on a product you want yourlogo at the top do you not get into thatlater on as well cart page isself-explanatory and then the Thank Youpage after somebody makes a purchase soyou can go down and add store elementsso if you want to have like a differenttype of gallery if you want it to be acarousel if you want like a slider rightthere if you want a big product widgetthere's a lot of different ways you canhave these little store elements rightthere and you can add those into yourwebsite and then lastly learn learn moreis something that it's a good resourceif you want to see more about like findthe support forum and stuff like thatbut for our purposes we are reallylooking at the top three right here solet's go and add some products and whatwe want to do it'll bring you to a pagethat looks like this and says what areyour products so the first product wewant let's just say San Trail t-shirtand we can go and add images of this oryou can add videos I recommend for somephysical products or actually or digitalproducts either one having a video it'sactually pretty nice so let's go downand upload media here so we can go andit gives you all these options you canfind it from Google Drive from Facebookpretty much everywhere you want so weare going to upload it from my computerright now and we are going to selectthis shirt right here the just t-shirtthat I kind of just threw together rightthere and says I love central media soit's not actually for sale this is notreal kind but there it is so that is ourfirst product we're going to addthere's product right there that's thefirst picture obviously have morepictures not just one but for ourpurposes let's choose one and so you canchoose if you want it to be yeah let'ssay this is a new arrival new arrival wecan change a price for it so let's justsay $15 for this we can put it on salefor maybe a discount would be like 20%off 20% so let's say maybe originally itwas like 20 bucks it's on sale for 16something that a lot of people like todo is mark things up make them on saleobviously everyone's discretion choosewhatever you want to do for that andthen write your description right hereso let's just say awesome sanchowt-shirt and you should probably beefthat up a little bit more than that butregardless let's go down and you can goand add additional info right there suchas your return policy maybe somethingabout the sizing you can go down and addsome custom text fields and we can godown and also add some other productoptions so this could be like the colorso let's just say color and the color wecould have a list and so we could haveblue white or we could have and weshould make that capital and so that'show you get your different sizes or yourdifferent colors so there's a drop-downmenu right there and so we could managethe pricing and inventory based on thedifferent colors assuming we haveinfinite inventory and assuming we don'treally care about the pricing betweencolors I'm just going to leave that asit is right now so you can trackinventory so you can tell it how manyyou have of each color and it's a greatway if you have multiple products to useWix to track things and let you knowwhen you're running low for me I'm notgoing to do that in this video butregardless it's something that is veryeasy to do and is a very useful tool soright up there you can choose whichcollection you want this in so let'screate a new collection and call thiscentral central apparel and we're goingto make a new collection right there andthen you can go down and promote it bycreating different discounts promovideos you can send an email campaignand you can editthe SEO settings of this so let's makesure we save the changes of this andcontinue and this will actually so setupyou shipping regions we're not going toworry about shipping regions right nowso over here the SEO settings allows youto be found on Google so SEO is searchengine optimization so making sure thatthis is something that Google can findwhen somebody looks up San trial t-shirtyou want to make sure that they'refinding your product these Santrot-shirts so we want to make sure thatthe URL slug is what you want so likeyou know whatever central media apparelcomm slash product slash San Pharrellt-shirt and that's what we want rightthere and then it's gonna pop up thetitle is going to be that and then thatis going to be our description populatethese with as many relevant keywords aspossible so that you rank higher inGoogle for your own product and this issomething that's actually especially bigas Google's starting to be more and morelike their end goal I think is to be alittle bit more like Amazon where youcan go to search things on Google andfind the products right there and buythem so having this ready for SEO meansthat you will find more traffic not justthrough social media or wherever yourmarketing but also through Google withorganic search so once we have thisright here let's go up and save and thatis our first product right there firstproduct is ready to go and we can havemany other products down here you canadd new products like I said so we canactually rearrange the order of theproducts but let's just say those arethe products we have right now I'mselling a San trial t-shirt and a wholebunch of other things and again you canhave discounts right there it's in stockyou can track the inventory you can havea skew right there and you can choose ifit's a physical or a digital product solet's right now actually add one that isa digital product so if you want adigital product something people mightbe selling like video courses ebooks umsomething like that let's just do thatright now so if we want to upload a fileyou can actually go if it's an audiofile a document a zip file let's uploada document right now so upload the mediafrom my laptop right here and let's justupload this PDF right here so it's goingto upload it and if you want to give outa like a free PDF for example let's justgo in there make sure it's a free pdfright there so add to product we addedthe file right thereyou can change it and let's just sayfree we're gonna call this one free andwe're gonna call it free YouTube sorryYouTube success blueprint and we'regoing to say that price is zero dollarsright now so people can you know justadd it to their cart download it theyget this free you know PDF and let's goand save this right now and the nextthing is you can see on the top is it isprompting us to add a payment method andthis is something that you obviouslyhave to do if you're selling things onyour store which if it's a store I hopeyou are and you can go there and acceptthings with PayPal or with Wix creditcard debit card whatever so we're goingto connect actually h's use not PayPalfor now let's just use that so it'sgoing to be connecting the paymentmethods and it'll tell you then thatyou're ready to go so you can acceptdebit cards and you can set up theregions you're willing to ship to againthat popped up right there and issuggesting it kind of walks you througha lot of stuff Wix it usually tells youlike hey do you want to do you want todo this is probably the next thing thatyou should be doing so we are going tonot ship internationally just domesticfor the purposes of I don't know we'reselling this t-shirt maybe we're surfingwith the US Postal Service right so thatis what we're going to be doing rightthere and let's just X out of this thenit'll bring us back to our page here andso right there we saw that we had ourproducts store pages here so we havefour different pages you can add anotherstore page if you want typically whenyou go to the store template I find thatfour is good enough for my needs forbasic ecommerce stores you can add otherones and so you can just click Add rightthere you can rename it so click thelittle three dots right there you can goto settings and this is where you canrename what that page is and kind ofbasically for any page if you go up tothe top and click on that you can changeany page in the same way we can renameit you can choose if it's on your menuso you can hide it from the menu on thetop the menu being like up here it'shidden right now though then we can alsoset it as your home page if you wantthose layouts if you do or do not want aheader and the footer so the headerbeing the thing that says call us nowthe footer probably says somethingsimilar you can go down to over topermissions and you can say it's amembers-only page which is a great wayif you're trying to kind of build anemail list and you want to have peoplesign up for your email and get like afree PDF you can make it a Members Onlypage so they set up an account with yoursite and you get you know a contact listso you can send out notifications tothem then you can also go to you knowSEO on Google right here which is alsowhat I showed you before which is youknow you can change the URL slug andthings like that to make sure that yourpage is optimized for Google so withthat being said that's essentially howyou're going to do the store side ofthings adding products but how do weactually manage what the site looks likeso if we go back up to the top and clickon this and let's just go to home fornow and we're going to kind of optimizewhat this looks like so on the left sideyou have some different options here sowe talked about menus and pages this isgoing to be actually we talked about itat the top this is the same thing exceptthis gives you more options so you godown to site menu here and it shows youall the different pages you have andagain you can reorder them move themwherever you want add pages delete pagesand then if you click on the three dotsthis can also let you either optimize itfor Google you can copy it you canduplicate it like I said you can hide ityou can make it a sub page lots ofdifferent options I recommend I meaneveryone has different needs so messingaround with that a little bit and seewhat actually works best for you now aswe go down you have member pages memberssign up right here so when members aresigning up for your site what is thatactually going to be like for them soyou can say the member signup form youcan change this you can optimize it oryou can just leave it as it is socontinuing down the options on the leftside then we have right here the pagebackground if you chose a good templateyou probably don't need to change thepage background you can go down to adddifferent things right here so there areso many different things you can add inWix and it's all drag-and-drop very easyto resize things change the angle thelocation of them and you can add textlike you see right here all thesedifferent texts images and the imagescan be things that you upload some freeWix clipart free Wix images stock imagesstuff from Facebook lots of options forwhere to get your yourthen you can add a gallery if you wantto have an array of images you can addvector art you can add shapesinteractive actually go back to shapesif you want like a line anywhere theyconsider that a shape so going to shapesand add lines if you want you can haveinteractive things where it's like aslideshow for example or things that youhover over you know you can add buttonswhich is essentially a picture with textin it that links out so let's just add abutton right now buttons are somethingthat I add all over my websites and solet's just say we want this button to beI don't know like don't want to clickand drag everything so let's just saythat we want this button where does ourbutton go there it is okay so let's justsay we want this button right here to bea lot larger so we can go and make thissignificantly bigger and we can changethe text of it we can change where itlinks to so if we want this to link toan anchor for example we can add ananchor somewhere on the page and ananchor means when they click on it itScrolls to a certain section so if youhave like an FAQ page this is a greatway to use anchors where you have allthe different questions at the top andeach one links out to a paragraph belowthat shows you what it is so we're goingto say done and if you want to add ananchor go back over to add so you'relinking to an anchor here the anchor youwant to link to you can find these overon the left side then so going down wehave box right there which is also ashape basically you can add an entirestrip I showed you before how you canrearrange the strips this is how you addnew strips and there's so many differentoptions for what type of strip it is andthey kind of come you know pre formattedfor essentially what you're looking forlists and grids you can add video youcan add music you can add social so Irecommend adding social somewhere onhere social is a huge aspect of websitesthese days you can add contact formswhich gives people these fields they cantype in click Submit and then it'll sendit to you this is a great way if you'rehaving maybe like support or if you'retrying to get more leads on somethingit's a great way to do that you havemenu right hereyou can add a lightbox and the lightboxis just something that pops up whensomeone's on your website and says likehey did you know we're running a saletoday or sign up for our email list oryou know different options for what'sgoing to pop up in your lightbox then wecan go down to we can start a blog youcan start a store we already have astore obviously you can start bookingsyou can set up you know members and moreand here when you go to more is where Isaid you can find anchors anchors areright here and if you want an anchor youjust click and drag it and you can putit wherever you want on the page and soif we put an anchor right there thenthis button we could link to the anchorwhich means it's going to scroll untilthat anchor is lined up with the top ofthis screen so definitely try this outthough once you put it in there makesure it actually works and Scrolls tothe right location because you don'twant a website that is going to scrolllike halfway through the paragraph andjust looks very unprofessional so goingback to add here let's just continue andjust finish out the other things you canadd because there really is a lot rightthere so you can add a chat in thebottom left you see that we have that alittle brown box there you can addevents you can add play buttons paypower sorry pay buttons sorry GoogleMaps and document buttons so just lotsof other stuff to add there and then ifwe go down to the next option here thisis the Wix app market so if you rememberin the very beginning of this video Isaid it didn't matter if you chose onethat was not a store that's because ifyou chose one that was photography forexample it wouldn't have a store builtin as a page already but you can go inhere and add a store app so thesedifferent apps are going to allow you todo things like the store where it's allintegrated has a check out a cart athank-you page and so you can do all ofthat within here or you can add otherthings some other free apps onlinestores photography like just go throughthis there are hundreds of differentapps you can get and they're all made bya lot of them are made by Wix whichmeans they're extremely powerful andthey're very well integrated with yourwebsite so continuing down you havemedia which is going to be anything youupload it so documents and pictures thatyou uploaded maybe if you want themsomewhere on your page you just want toadd more media or whatever when we godown to start a blog that's somethingthat a lot of stores have blogs thesedays maybe you can add it if you wantyou don't necessarily need one and againwe can go down and see our store sothat is a lot of what we're doing hereof course when you're trying to messaround with different things I recommendgoing into each different elementindividually click on it it should befairly self-explanatory so if we go toour home page here you'll see that likeadding a logo at the top right there itis a button you can change the text ofit you can make itadd your add your image up there in theheader and make sure it links to homethat's something that a lot of peoplemiss out on I don't know why peopleforget to do that the top left shouldalways link to home if it's your logowell let's just say right here if thisis our they actually put text there Iwould recommend maybe like an image foryour logo but if you want to like rotatethis you just click on the top left androtate you can resize it you can move itaround and ultimately you want to makesure that everything kind of staysbetween the two dotted lines you see onthe left here so right there and rightthere that's something that Wixrecommends so it looks good on differentaspect ratios of phones or laptops orold computers or TVs projectors younever know where somebody will belooking at your website and you want itto look goodon all of them so guys that's what Ihave to say in this video I know thiswas a pretty lengthy video but hopefullythat gave you a pretty in-depth tutorialand showed you what you need to know toset up a store using Wix now the nextstep for you right now is obviously togo through and populate this and do whatI showed you in this video so add yourlogo add the text everywhere filleverything out add your products andthen by the end the last thing you do isgo up and click publish so that yoursite is ready to go and people can startbuying now of course I also recommendyou go through and actually followthrough on your own website on maybe anew tab or on a different laptop andactually go through and kind of followthe user experience go through checkoutmake sure you don't have any brokenlinks or broken pages so that whensomebody is using your site it's smoothseamless and it works perfectly wheneverthey're trying to buy your product soguys I hope this video helped you if itdid please remember to like andsubscribe as always thank you all forwatching I'll see you next time

what is up guys my name is Darrell andtoday I'm gonna be reviewing the flatsum theme now if you guys ever kind ofwanted to buy flat sum but you weren'treally sure about it because you kind ofwant to know the features about it andyou want to know what the page builderactually offers today in this review I'mgonna be reviewing the flotsam thing andshowing you what this theme can do nowguys I've been messing around withWooCommerce and e-commerce for years youknow and the flotsam theme is theultimate WordPress theme for e-commerceit does so much for your store and I'mjust going to be going over some of thekey essentials it does like imageresizing and decorating shop pages checkout pages and all sorts of stuff so theflotsam theme guys by default does a lotthat you normally can't do with otherWordPress themes for example you cantotally have a customizable header righthere and they have like pre-designedtemplates or you can just simply justlike pick one of them you know choose aheader that works for you and they alsohave this like really cool like you knowthese buttons right here that makes itreally easy to sign up for your websitesalso you can fully customize thecheckout page so for example right herelet's say you have the checkout page andyou're saying you know I don't like ittoo much with flats um you can kind ofdesign your own your own checkout pageand they have just great templates youcan add more in the checkout page now bydefault guys WordPress teams usuallydon't offer this you know but flat sumis designed for e-commerce so again it'sjust some amazing stuff so I'll be goingover some of these features in thisreview but first let's go ahead and talkabout the page builder I'm sureeverybody wants to know about the pagebuilder because visual visual composerwas used on flotsam about a year ago butflats I'm kind of moved away from visualcomposer because I realize it's not thebest page builder and in fact I havealways hated itand flat semester they're owned usbuilder and another really amazing thingabout this is if you guys suck atdesigning websites which I do too theyhave a flat 'some studio so right hereif I click on flotsam studio they haveover 500 templates that you guys can addfor your e-commerce websites and nomatter what you're looking for theseguys have it you know they have about uspages banners call to actions contactpages just amazing stuff I even havelike grids right here so they just offerso much the I mean you can likeliterally import an entire ecommercewebsite from their home page the aboutUs page and contact page and just justuse their stuff you know then charge theclient ten grand or you know whateveryou want to charge you know but let mejust give you an example of how thisworks so let's say right here for mycall to action I want to just select youknow one of these call to action so I'mjust gonna click on import and click onstart and it's going to import thatspecific section and it's really fastso here I basically you know I I tookthe templates and then here I'll just dolike an amazing sale and then I justclick on okay save the changes etc andguys it's that quick and fast to make awebsite with flat some also if you guyslike the full width page they also havethat as well so in the options when youdesign this page you can have it eitherboxed or full width so a lot of theirdemos have the only boxed looked but youguys can make it full width that's whatI first thought I was like I want thefull width look they have it so righthere on this gear icon I'm gonna clickon that and I'm goes to my template andgo to full width and voila now it isfull width also you guys might bemessing around with the templates quitea lot which I was – now it's reallysimple to get rid of all this all I needto do is click on the gear icon and justclick on clear click on OK and that's ityou can start all over again so it'sreally simple to make websites of theflat sum and the page builder isincredibly easy to learn I have a fulltutorial on it in the description belowyou guys want to check it out but let'sgo ahead and keep talking about otherfeatures besides just the flat slimstudio which is probably one of the mostamazing features I've seen about flatsum I mean they have over 500 templatesthat you guys can simply just grab andjust you know check out you guys canpreview it see how it looks and thenjust simply grab any one of theirtemplates for your e-commerce websitesok so that was a quick preview of theflotsam Studio now I'm gonna talk aboutthings that I love about flotsam andthings that really stood out to me andsaying this is amazing one of them isthe image resizing now by default guyswhen you're using other WordPress themesthe image sizing can be the biggest painin the butt if something's likemisaligned a little bit it's going tocome out weird flotsam has theoption to force the height for all yourproducts now this is not the productpage right here but this is the moduleitself now they have different stylesthat you guys can use so right here youguys can see the style of products soright here we have overlay we have shadewe have just and the thing is guys theselook really clean like these look likethese look amazing you know like there'sthere's so much you can do you can addthe description you can add the reviewsyou can take out the reviews you can putin whatever you want you can mix andmatch whatever you want you can havethis animation fade from you know up thebottom like that really clean just justamazing you know simply amazing and ifyou're not using flotsam for youre-commerce website you're missing outbecause it's just a very clean theme andit's just it's so easy to use you shoulduse it you know and people who aren'tusing it I could I get upset with themI'm like dude use this theme it haseverything now also right here forimages now right here you got some kindof mess around with the image sizing soright here we have like 75 cent or sevenfive percent two hundred percents andyou guys can kind of mess around withthis they kind of get what you guys wanton your websites but the image sizingfor this is simply amazing and then youcan also change the width of its likethat and you can also change the radiusas well so let's say for example youkind of want a more circular kind ofapproach here we can add in a radius ofa hundred percent and it's going tocreate that circle effect now you cannotdo this without custom CSS so flats upnoses and you don't have to use CSS youdon't need any CSS at all and also wecan have like the size you can changethe size and here we can add in a quickoverlay so here I'm I put in blue yourblue right here and then maybe just likethat you guys get the idea now that's asuper ugly color but I'm just showingyou the possibilities of what you can dowith the flat some theme also you canchange the text alignment you can changethe size of the text you can change thefont you can customize each andeverything on the product section soalso right here it says sale you canchange the color you can change the textso there's there's no limits on what youcan do with flat sum so it's simplyincredible of thethe possibilities and the combinationsyou can have with the flotsam theme sothat is a quick little preview of likethe product module that where you canadd props on your front page now let'stalk about the actual productsthemselves so this is my shop page andyou guys can actually decorate andcustomize the shop page so here I justadded like a slider you know somethingsomething quick and easy no this isquick and easy now we also have like thegrid style where you can have like theAdd to Cart feature you can have no Addto Cart or you can have the epic art onthe picture so for example right hereyou see that we have the Add to CartI'll click on this it's gonna change nowthe Add to Cart is actually on thepicture and you can add the cart rightthere simple and easy so it's just it'sreally really amazing what you can dowith this theme so next to say you wantsto put it right there you know you canactually change it so now the Add toCart is gone but you know I'm justgiving you an idea of what you can dealwith the store so if you don't want toadd to cart you can take it out but Ikind of like that's a cart you knowbuttons are clickable and people love toclick buttons so I kind of want thosebuttons there you can show thecategories you can show the ratings youcan show the short description also forthe sale level right here this littlebubble we have you can change it to likea square so now you see like it's thesquare you can add it like a little bitdifferently so it's like in the actualbox etc you can change the color you canchange the font so right here you canchange the custom fonts you can alsoshow a percentage discount so instead ofsaying sale like you know a lot ofboring WordPress themes you can put thesale percent of what the product is onsale for and websites like wish do thatif you guys seen that website whichwhere they sell those those Chineseproducts where they said like 99% offthey do that on their app and theirwebsite so it's it's it's worth lookinginto you know you guys can also changelike the categories you can do all sortsof stuff you can also this is a greatfeature right here so equalized imageHeights so no matter what size the imageis it's going to align them properly tomake your site look amazing so if youtake that out depending on your imagesit's going to come out kind of skewedbut my images are all the same size sothatnot gonna be the case but for mostbeginners a lot of beginners actuallyused just all different image sizingbecause they don't know what they'redoing and this is the cold reality of itall so the image height so you can kindof like you know make the image heightbigger and smaller and you can list theproduct per page product per row it'sjust it's just limitless on what you cando with the shop page and you can alsodecorate it so you can build on the shoppage so right here I added a slider youguys can add whatever you wantuse their flotsam studio stuff on yourpage you know their designs are amazingso that's just a quick example ofsomething you can do with the shop pagenext is like I said the car page youguys can also add content like bannersright here or you guys can build on thischeckout page and guys you cannot dothis with other WordPress themes I loveDivi I think Debbie has the best pagebuilder unfortunately Divi can't do whatflotsam again I know I'm playing devil'sadvocate here but if there's somethinggood if there's a good product out theremy job wants to talk about it you knowthat's my job my job is not to playfavorites it's not to be biased it's toprovide the best value for my viewersright so I love Divi I think their pagebuilder is amazing I would use it forany other websites but if I'm running ane-commerce website as of right now Iwould use flotsam because the things youcan do with this you can't do this withyou can't do this with Elementor youcan't do this with beaver builder youcan't do this with Divi but you can doit with flats um so here you can likeadd in blocks and if you watch mytutorial I talk all about blocksbasically like their sections like wehow we design the shop page you can dothe same exact thing on the checkoutpage also the header the header isamazing you guys can add buttons here sofor example right here we have buttonone button – you guys can even add athird button you can add social icons sohere I'm a dragon social icons and theheader is just so customizable it isamazing and I like the header or the ThePresets you know I mean why work harderyou know I'm just gonna just grab apreset and if you look at the thepresets right here it's pretty simple onhow they do everything and here like youcan take the logo and drag the logo toanywhere else you want you can virtuallydo anything you want they also have atutorial on it as well you can alsomodify it for theand also the mobile device as well so Iknow you guys might have been skepticalon flat sum it took me a while to usethe page blur to fully understand it andto you know to realize that the themehas a lot to offer and I'm not a hugefan ofenvato I really am NOT but thedevelopers on Novatowhen I see good development teams and Isee really good teams and companies outthere like flats um I have to recognizethem you know as much as I don't likefire and vato just because I have my ownpersonal reasons why I don't like Envatobut the developers on it are incrediblytalented and again some of the work theydo is just amazing so if you guys arelooking for an e-commerce theme I highlyrecommend the flotsam theme because thepage builder is easy you can do imagesizing you could customize everythingthere's no limits on what you cancustomize they have tons of templatesand virtually I wouldn't see a reason touse any other commerce theme because ofwhat you can do with flats um okay so Ihope this review was helpful if you guyswant to purchase the flotsam theme thereis a link in the description of thisvideo I do make a very very smallCommission so if you want to buy throughmy link or knots it's up to you it'sreally up to you if you do I appreciateit if not no big deal I'm not gonna sitthere and cry about itso make sure to check out the possumtheme you guys can probably see like ademo of it I do have a fold to taunt aswell it's just really uh it's it's greatguys it's really amazing what this thinghas to offer so again I hope this reviewwas helpful hopefully by now you mightbe encouraged to switch over to theflotsam theme so I've got a lot ofviewers saying they got like a femalewitch or I'm sharp or mush it was thething called the shopkeeper a shopkeeperis not as good as this because a lot ofthe features with a shopkeeper you can'tdo with flats um you know you have toyou have to throw in a tons of customCSS and if you also go to Envato marketsif you just simply go to Nevada marketright here and go to their page righthere and go to their section you guysare going to see that flotsam is thenumber one most sold ecommerce theme solet me just give you an example righthere we go to ecommerce forWordPress their ties being a littleweird CR here we'll go to e-commerce andI'm gonna go to best best sellers theykind of changed this little it's kind ofweird

sure it's it's it'sa decent theme but I've used it beforeand it just nothing compared to theflotsam thing you can be so much morecustomizable with the flotsam theme alsoif you guys are using like elemental Ilove elemental unfortunately fore-commerce it's just not the best it'snot really designed for e-commerce likeit has the capabilities of e-commercebut it's not it's not designed for ityou know there's its it's doable butit's like not the best Divi is the sameway Davi it's an amazing page builderbut it's just not designed fore-commerce flotsam is so that's why Ipurchase flotsam I use it

youthis is the mountain that we're about tohike hey guys Stephanie fromprojectlifemastery.comI just did an amazing hike here in Rioand there's a gorgeous view behind meand it's a good opportunity for me totake a my phone real quickand answer some of the questions thatI've received from you guys so someoneasked me a question the other day on myblog which was what internet marketingbooks do I recommend for someone that'sinterested in getting started makingmoney online now I want to share withyou guys four books okay four books thatcome to mind up at the top of my headright now that have really benefitted meand helped change my life and reallyinspired me to get started making moneyonline so the first book that I want torecommend for you guys is a book thatyou probably already heard of andespecially if you're an internetmarketer you've probably already read itand if you haven't then this is a goodbook to start with but it's a bookcalled the 4-hour workweek by TimFerrissokay the 4-hour workweek by Tim Ferrissand this is a book that I read years agois probably one the first books I readthat really motivated me to get startedmaking money online because it reallychanged my paradigm of what was possibleyou know I was always raised with thetraditional belief that you got to go toschool you got to get great grades yougot to get a good education and then youwork your ass off for your entire lifeso that one day when you're 65 years oldyou can eventually retire and travel andjust live your life and he kind of makesfun of that in the book and he describesthere's a new rich there's a new way ofliving your life and the book is abouthow to escape the 9 to 5 and create alifestyle that only requires about fourhours a week of work so that you cantravel the world living your dreamsdoing whatever it is that you wantmaking passive income and beingfinancially free and so it's a greatbook highly recommended you know in thebook Tim Ferriss describes how hetravels the world how he goes to Brazilhe does jujitsu he goes to Thailand he'sdoing Muay Thai he's doing Samba classesall types of stuff and that is possibleand the possibility of it is what reallyis the biggest thing I got from thatbook and it also goes into a lot aboutautomating your life oats orseeing leveraging herself so it's areally great book to recomm that I'dstart with the second book that Irecommend is a book that I read recentlywhen I was in Bali and it was actually agift from someone on my blog and I heardabout it four years before but I nevergot a chance to read it till just thisearly this year and it's a book calledThe Millionaire Fastlane by MJ DeMarcoand this is a book that was really wellwritten I love the style of this bookand it really changed it's another bookthat shifts her paradigm and yourmindset of how to get rich fast now I'mnot really big and just telling peopleyou can get rich overnight or anythinglike thatbecause getting rich and making money issomething that requires a lot of hardworkfailures experience developing yourselfand everything but there's definitely away of doing it faster than a lot of thetraditional ways of how we've beentaught and you know we've been taughtthat you can get rich by investing inmutual funds and stuff like that and inthis book The Millionaire Fastlane isall about how to get on the fast trackbecause even that strategy of what mostpeople learn from their banks and andother finance books about investing inmutual funds pay yourself first thatstrategy is it gets lowI started get rich slow strategy and souh MJ DeMarco talks about how theinternet is making more people rich thananything and how you can leverage it andtake advantage of it so it's a reallygreat book that I recommend reallyinspired me it's probably one of thebest books that I've read on the subjectso that's why I'm recommending it thethird book I want to recommend is a bookthat is going to be a little bitchallenging for you guys to find butit's a
