| 00:00:08 | 00:00:12 | coming back at you with the brand new |
| 00:00:10 | 00:00:13 | video and in this one it's Q&A time if |
| 00:00:12 | 00:00:15 | you saw the video a few days back you |
| 00:00:13 | 00:00:16 | would know that I asked you guys to ask |
| 00:00:15 | 00:00:18 | me a ton of questions in the comments |
| 00:00:16 | 00:00:20 | and I got a lot so what we're gonna be |
| 00:00:18 | 00:00:21 | doing right now I'm going through I'm |
| 00:00:20 | 00:00:22 | gonna pick a ton of them I'm gonna throw |
| 00:00:21 | 00:00:23 | up screenshots as I'm answering them and |
| 00:00:22 | 00:00:25 | I'm just gonna go through and give you |
| 00:00:23 | 00:00:27 | some very very straightforward feedback |
| 00:00:25 | 00:00:29 | so let's see what you guys asked but |
| 00:00:27 | 00:00:30 | before we get into that make sure you're |
| 00:00:29 | 00:00:31 | part of the family by hitting that |
| 00:00:30 | 00:00:33 | nice-looking subscribe button down below |
| 00:00:31 | 00:00:34 | and drop lick on the video if you get |
| 00:00:33 | 00:00:36 | any value out of it and let's jump right |
| 00:00:34 | 00:00:38 | in how do you pay tax when self-employed |
| 00:00:36 | 00:00:40 | from drop shipping legally it's a great |
| 00:00:38 | 00:00:41 | question and I actually can't answer |
| 00:00:40 | 00:00:43 | that I'm meeting with the CPA next week |
| 00:00:41 | 00:00:45 | if you guys didn't normally 17 so this |
| 00:00:43 | 00:00:46 | will be my first year paying taxes I'm |
| 00:00:45 | 00:00:47 | still trying to figure all that out I |
| 00:00:46 | 00:00:49 | think I know enough but I'm definitely |
| 00:00:47 | 00:00:50 | ending with a CPA so that I know for |
| 00:00:49 | 00:00:51 | sure it's you do not want to get screwed |
| 00:00:50 | 00:00:53 | over when it comes to that but I would |
| 00:00:51 | 00:00:54 | not recommend taking tax advice from |
| 00:00:53 | 00:00:56 | someone on YouTube next question this is |
| 00:00:54 | 00:00:57 | a really good one from Ryan hold and how |
| 00:00:56 | 00:00:59 | cooked should your picks will be from |
| 00:00:57 | 00:01:01 | Instagram influencers before you |
| 00:00:59 | 00:01:02 | transition over to Facebook Ads now |
| 00:01:01 | 00:01:04 | there's something I tok about a lot |
| 00:01:02 | 00:01:05 | building pixel data with Instagram you |
| 00:01:04 | 00:01:06 | know through those shoutouts getting |
| 00:01:05 | 00:01:08 | sales and a ton of add to carts and all |
| 00:01:06 | 00:01:10 | that good stuff but at what point can |
| 00:01:08 | 00:01:12 | you effectively transition into Facebook |
| 00:01:10 | 00:01:13 | personally from my own testing as well |
| 00:01:12 | 00:01:16 | as you know some of my mentors are doing |
| 00:01:13 | 00:01:18 | really really well about 50 to 100 sales |
| 00:01:16 | 00:01:19 | in total on your store is the range that |
| 00:01:18 | 00:01:21 | should give you enough data to start |
| 00:01:19 | 00:01:22 | testing obviously if you have more |
| 00:01:21 | 00:01:23 | that's a lot better I have friends who |
| 00:01:22 | 00:01:25 | have like six seven hundred some even |
| 00:01:23 | 00:01:26 | over a thousand sales just from |
| 00:01:25 | 00:01:28 | Instagram and they haven't even started |
| 00:01:26 | 00:01:29 | with Facebook so do whatever you have to |
| 00:01:28 | 00:01:31 | do to start getting you know a couple |
| 00:01:29 | 00:01:32 | sales a day in that first month you know |
| 00:01:31 | 00:01:33 | get to about fifty or hundred sales and |
| 00:01:32 | 00:01:35 | you can start transitioning into |
| 00:01:33 | 00:01:36 | Facebook just here's the thing this is a |
| 00:01:35 | 00:01:38 | mistake I mean if you're not very good |
| 00:01:36 | 00:01:40 | with Facebook continue doing Instagram |
| 00:01:38 | 00:01:41 | influencers while you're testing |
| 00:01:40 | 00:01:43 | Facebook cuz it will take you some time |
| 00:01:41 | 00:01:44 | how should I do marketing for bracelets |
| 00:01:43 | 00:01:46 | for the holidays like Christmas |
| 00:01:44 | 00:01:47 | that's a great question as you guys know |
| 00:01:46 | 00:01:48 | I've mentioned it quarter four it's the |
| 00:01:47 | 00:01:50 | most profitable time of the year |
| 00:01:48 | 00:01:51 | everyone's buying stuff online it's |
| 00:01:50 | 00:01:53 | absolutely insane especially with all |
| 00:01:51 | 00:01:54 | the holidays that's the main reason so |
| 00:01:53 | 00:01:56 | if you're gonna try and hit people with |
| 00:01:54 | 00:01:57 | that aspect you know using it as a gift |
| 00:01:56 | 00:01:59 | I would recommend going from an |
| 00:01:57 | 00:02:00 | emotional standpoint you know said this |
| 00:01:59 | 00:02:02 | would make a great gift or only giving |
| 00:02:00 | 00:02:04 | away 100 use some scarcity honestly take |
| 00:02:02 | 00:02:05 | this with a grain of salt but I haven't |
| 00:02:04 | 00:02:06 | actually been doing it all the way last |
| 00:02:05 | 00:02:08 | year to this time of the year it's only |
| 00:02:06 | 00:02:09 | been like five or six months so I don't |
| 00:02:08 | 00:02:11 | fully know but it's definitely easier to |
| 00:02:09 | 00:02:13 | market your product so you just got a |
| 00:02:11 | 00:02:14 | free that depends on a lot of things |
| 00:02:13 | 00:02:16 | what type of bracelet all that so that's |
| 00:02:14 | 00:02:17 | more of like a unique question another |
| 00:02:16 | 00:02:18 | one from Ryan hold and what your |
| 00:02:17 | 00:02:21 | thoughts on clickfunnels birth shop flat |
| 00:02:18 | 00:02:24 | 40 commerce personally I've never used |
| 00:02:21 | 00:02:25 | clickfunnels for Shopify I've used it a |
| 00:02:24 | 00:02:27 | lot for a ton of other stuff but never |
| 00:02:25 | 00:02:29 | for Shopify specifically I think that it |
| 00:02:27 | 00:02:31 | could be good for upsells but I just use |
| 00:02:29 | 00:02:32 | plugins inside of shop by itself for |
| 00:02:31 | 00:02:34 | that so if you want to test it go for it |
| 00:02:32 | 00:02:35 | everything I needs inside of Shopify at |
| 00:02:34 | 00:02:37 | least right now so I haven't really |
| 00:02:35 | 00:02:39 | branched out with that jeka roll FX |
| 00:02:37 | 00:02:41 | asked unrelated to e-commerce but what |
| 00:02:39 | 00:02:43 | do you think of post Malone's new song |
| 00:02:41 | 00:02:44 | Rockstar I think it's a damn good song |
| 00:02:43 | 00:02:46 | but I'm gonna hate it in about two weeks |
| 00:02:44 | 00:02:48 | cuz I'm definitely over playing it so |
| 00:02:46 | 00:02:50 | Kate Johnson asks what are all your |
| 00:02:48 | 00:02:51 | sources of income software affiliate |
| 00:02:50 | 00:02:52 | marketing e-commerce and social media |
| 00:02:51 | 00:02:54 | marketing are the main four there's a |
| 00:02:52 | 00:02:55 | couple little other things that branch |
| 00:02:54 | 00:02:57 | off of those that are interjected in |
| 00:02:55 | 00:02:57 | between those but those demand for by |
| 00:02:57 | 00:02:59 | far |
| 00:02:57 | 00:03:01 | Ethan Jay asks do you wait three days to |
| 00:02:59 | 00:03:03 | receive payment before fulfilling orders |
| 00:03:01 | 00:03:04 | [ __ ] no why would I wait cuz then it's |
| 00:03:03 | 00:03:06 | only gonna add three days on it the |
| 00:03:04 | 00:03:07 | shipping time if I already got the sale |
| 00:03:06 | 00:03:08 | I know I have the money coming in so |
| 00:03:07 | 00:03:10 | take the money out of my pocket I guess |
| 00:03:08 | 00:03:11 | in a fulfill the order with that |
| 00:03:10 | 00:03:12 | actually get that a lot and always |
| 00:03:11 | 00:03:14 | confused me like if you have the order |
| 00:03:12 | 00:03:15 | fulfill the [ __ ] order so you can |
| 00:03:14 | 00:03:17 | send on the product and get it going as |
| 00:03:15 | 00:03:19 | fast as possible now if you don't have |
| 00:03:17 | 00:03:20 | the money actually when I first started |
| 00:03:19 | 00:03:21 | something like this about two years ago |
| 00:03:20 | 00:03:23 | I had a mountain clothing line then |
| 00:03:21 | 00:03:25 | obviously it felt completely I didn't |
| 00:03:23 | 00:03:26 | even know anything about anything but I |
| 00:03:25 | 00:03:28 | told my dad like look when someone |
| 00:03:26 | 00:03:29 | orders a product I already have the |
| 00:03:28 | 00:03:30 | money but it takes a couple days you |
| 00:03:29 | 00:03:32 | know as a buffer period until I actually |
| 00:03:30 | 00:03:33 | get the money and I'm like dude give me |
| 00:03:32 | 00:03:35 | a thousand bucks throw it in account so |
| 00:03:33 | 00:03:36 | I can use that and then I'll just put |
| 00:03:35 | 00:03:37 | all the money back into that account |
| 00:03:36 | 00:03:39 | from the set so do whatever you have to |
| 00:03:37 | 00:03:40 | do be creative get the money because |
| 00:03:39 | 00:03:41 | once you already have the order you know |
| 00:03:40 | 00:03:43 | the money's coming in there's not much |
| 00:03:41 | 00:03:45 | it's gonna change from that Ethan Jay |
| 00:03:43 | 00:03:47 | also asks do you pay taxes when you're |
| 00:03:45 | 00:03:49 | under 18 and use your parents info on |
| 00:03:47 | 00:03:50 | Shopify payments yes you still to pay |
| 00:03:49 | 00:03:52 | taxes this will be my first year paying |
| 00:03:50 | 00:03:53 | taxes like I said meeting with the CPI |
| 00:03:52 | 00:03:55 | next week so I can't really give you |
| 00:03:53 | 00:03:56 | guys too much advice on that I don't |
| 00:03:55 | 00:03:57 | really want to you probably shouldn't |
| 00:03:56 | 00:03:59 | take advice on taxes from anyone on |
| 00:03:57 | 00:04:00 | YouTube for that matter go to a trusted |
| 00:03:59 | 00:04:02 | legal adviser that's what I would |
| 00:04:00 | 00:04:04 | recommend as for the info I use on |
| 00:04:02 | 00:04:04 | Shopify obviously if you're under ages |
| 00:04:04 | 00:04:06 | you |
| 00:04:04 | 00:04:07 | you have to someone over a teenage |
| 00:04:06 | 00:04:08 | verify that no it's not my parents I'm |
| 00:04:07 | 00:04:10 | going to get into how I structure my |
| 00:04:08 | 00:04:11 | businesses in a later video but that's |
| 00:04:10 | 00:04:12 | definitely a topic that we're not going |
| 00:04:11 | 00:04:14 | to cover in this video right now |
| 00:04:12 | 00:04:15 | Phillip Forrest asks what courses of |
| 00:04:14 | 00:04:17 | programs do you think of the most |
| 00:04:15 | 00:04:18 | valuable what your beginners look for |
| 00:04:17 | 00:04:20 | when picking a program to follow look |
| 00:04:18 | 00:04:21 | for people who have the results that |
| 00:04:20 | 00:04:22 | you're trying to create right the |
| 00:04:21 | 00:04:24 | fastest way to get from point A to point |
| 00:04:22 | 00:04:26 | B which point a being where you are |
| 00:04:24 | 00:04:27 | point B is where you want to go is in a |
| 00:04:26 | 00:04:28 | straight line and to get there in a |
| 00:04:27 | 00:04:30 | straight line all you have to do is |
| 00:04:28 | 00:04:31 | follow someone who's been through it and |
| 00:04:30 | 00:04:33 | not a straight line and so they know all |
| 00:04:31 | 00:04:34 | the mistakes you're gonna make to get |
| 00:04:33 | 00:04:35 | off that straight line so they can put |
| 00:04:34 | 00:04:36 | you on that line |
| 00:04:35 | 00:04:38 | now as for specific people on who I'd |
| 00:04:36 | 00:04:39 | recommend I've been through a lot of |
| 00:04:38 | 00:04:41 | courses I don't really recommend one |
| 00:04:39 | 00:04:42 | specific person I like to take courses |
| 00:04:41 | 00:04:44 | about specific dates that are on |
| 00:04:42 | 00:04:46 | facebook ads or Instagram on building a |
| 00:04:44 | 00:04:47 | store anything like that so I've been |
| 00:04:46 | 00:04:49 | through a lot I don't really recommend |
| 00:04:47 | 00:04:50 | I'm not going to one specific person my |
| 00:04:49 | 00:04:52 | boy Thaddeus which some of you probably |
| 00:04:50 | 00:04:53 | know him this course is really good my |
| 00:04:52 | 00:04:55 | boy Sebastian you know I've been through |
| 00:04:53 | 00:04:56 | those been through a lot of different |
| 00:04:55 | 00:04:57 | courses there's a lot of good content |
| 00:04:56 | 00:04:59 | out there a lot of fluff but just do |
| 00:04:57 | 00:05:00 | your research before you inside of one |
| 00:04:59 | 00:05:02 | crisp up at night asks are you looking |
| 00:05:00 | 00:05:04 | to build more Shopify stores or you just |
| 00:05:02 | 00:05:05 | managing your current stores as of right |
| 00:05:04 | 00:05:06 | now I'm just focused on scaling the ones |
| 00:05:05 | 00:05:08 | I have I'm not really looking to branch |
| 00:05:06 | 00:05:09 | out and that's exactly what I do with |
| 00:05:08 | 00:05:11 | all my businesses they're front-end |
| 00:05:09 | 00:05:12 | loaded for the first couple months you |
| 00:05:11 | 00:05:13 | got to really focus on and get them up |
| 00:05:12 | 00:05:15 | and then from there you can outsource |
| 00:05:13 | 00:05:16 | them and they're a lot more passive so |
| 00:05:15 | 00:05:18 | that's the route I'm taking with |
| 00:05:16 | 00:05:20 | ecommerce yes I am 100% without a doubt |
| 00:05:18 | 00:05:20 | going to open more stores in the future |
| 00:05:20 | 00:05:23 | but not right now |
| 00:05:20 | 00:05:24 | Jeremias asks where'd you get that peace |
| 00:05:23 | 00:05:26 | of heart behind you he's probably toked |
| 00:05:24 | 00:05:28 | about the ones using the background down |
| 00:05:26 | 00:05:29 | in my office got that on Amazon man |
| 00:05:28 | 00:05:31 | there's a ton of cool wall art like that |
| 00:05:29 | 00:05:32 | with multiple different panel sections |
| 00:05:31 | 00:05:33 | actually a few of them in my room like |
| 00:05:32 | 00:05:35 | it was like 50 bucks or something |
| 00:05:33 | 00:05:38 | definitely definitely something you |
| 00:05:35 | 00:05:40 | should get can I open successful Shopify |
| 00:05:38 | 00:05:42 | store only with PayPal payments yeah but |
| 00:05:40 | 00:05:44 | I wouldn't why would you want to about |
| 00:05:42 | 00:05:46 | typically the industry standards about |
| 00:05:44 | 00:05:49 | 30% of people are going to pay through |
| 00:05:46 | 00:05:52 | PayPal so why would you only want 30% of |
| 00:05:49 | 00:05:54 | your customers to be able to buy right |
| 00:05:52 | 00:05:56 | it doesn't really make sense to me just |
| 00:05:54 | 00:05:57 | judging by how this guy phrased that |
| 00:05:56 | 00:05:59 | he's from out of the country so you |
| 00:05:57 | 00:06:01 | might not have the option to do you know |
| 00:05:59 | 00:06:02 | the normal shot by payments through |
| 00:06:01 | 00:06:04 | credit cards which would be the bulk of |
| 00:06:02 | 00:06:05 | your orders you got to kind of figure |
| 00:06:04 | 00:06:06 | that out that's up to you away the |
| 00:06:05 | 00:06:09 | options if you think you can still make |
| 00:06:06 | 00:06:11 | money with all these PayPal payments |
| 00:06:09 | 00:06:12 | then go right ahead you know any star |
| 00:06:11 | 00:06:14 | asks how long you think shot by drop |
| 00:06:12 | 00:06:16 | shipping will be saturated if it |
| 00:06:14 | 00:06:18 | okay interesting phrasing on some of |
| 00:06:16 | 00:06:20 | these questions but shop by dropshipping |
| 00:06:18 | 00:06:22 | yeah it might be saturated like a lot of |
| 00:06:20 | 00:06:24 | people are jumping in but everything's |
| 00:06:22 | 00:06:26 | saturated at the same time nothing can |
| 00:06:24 | 00:06:28 | really be saturated if you're different |
| 00:06:26 | 00:06:30 | that's one thing I always preach is yeah |
| 00:06:28 | 00:06:32 | a lot of people might be doing this but |
| 00:06:30 | 00:06:34 | 95% of people suck acid doing this is |
| 00:06:32 | 00:06:35 | you can be able to completely crush them |
| 00:06:34 | 00:06:36 | all you have to do is outwork them |
| 00:06:35 | 00:06:38 | that's it I think it's pretty simple |
| 00:06:36 | 00:06:38 | it's what do you do to win I'm gonna |

| 00:08:33 | 00:08:38 | Billy Dennis asks what age did you start |
| 00:08:35 | 00:08:39 | shop 517 was recently like four or five |
| 00:08:38 | 00:08:41 | months ago and actually started getting |
| 00:08:39 | 00:08:44 | into it only started to really focus my |
| 00:08:41 | 00:08:46 | attention on it like the last maybe two |
| 00:08:44 | 00:08:47 | months three months yeah three months |
| 00:08:46 | 00:08:49 | right around that ballpark |
| 00:08:47 | 00:08:52 | Simon Bezique I hope that I pronounced |
| 00:08:49 | 00:08:54 | it asks is it legal to dropship branded |
| 00:08:52 | 00:08:56 | stuff from Aliexpress for example Marvel |
| 00:08:54 | 00:08:57 | or Star Wars now this is definitely |
| 00:08:56 | 00:08:59 | something I get not a lot but I've |
| 00:08:57 | 00:09:00 | definitely come ins and questions about |
| 00:08:59 | 00:09:02 | it and personally I've never done it so |
| 00:09:00 | 00:09:04 | I don't know but here's what I can tell |
| 00:09:02 | 00:09:05 | you based on the experience of people |
| 00:09:04 | 00:09:07 | I'm very close friends with look if |
| 00:09:05 | 00:09:08 | you're gonna sell Star Wars stuff |
| 00:09:07 | 00:09:10 | obviously that's a huge franchise chain |
| 00:09:08 | 00:09:13 | they probably will come at you with |
| 00:09:10 | 00:09:14 | copyright if you're big Star Wars is |
| 00:09:13 | 00:09:16 | worth so many billions of dollars |
| 00:09:14 | 00:09:17 | they're really not gonna give a [ __ ] |
| 00:09:16 | 00:09:19 | about you and your store if you're only |
| 00:09:17 | 00:09:21 | making like 10 grand a month so from a |
| 00:09:19 | 00:09:23 | scale standpoint yeah you could run into |
| 00:09:21 | 00:09:24 | issues but it's really not even worth a |
| 00:09:23 | 00:09:26 | big company's time to come at you if |
| 00:09:24 | 00:09:27 | you're so small and the next comment |
| 00:09:26 | 00:09:29 | from Rob Kapoor literally just asked the |
| 00:09:27 | 00:09:31 | same thing so hoping that last question |
| 00:09:29 | 00:09:32 | I just answer and answers yours as well |
| 00:09:31 | 00:09:33 | now you're probably not gonna get sued |
| 00:09:32 | 00:09:35 | if you're not big about really gonna |
| 00:09:33 | 00:09:37 | care but you gotta kind of look into |
| 00:09:35 | 00:09:39 | that that's for sure a gray area that I |
| 00:09:37 | 00:09:40 | don't have experience with Marc Dwyer |
| 00:09:39 | 00:09:42 | asks is it better to have a general |
| 00:09:40 | 00:09:44 | store or a store with a specific niche I |
| 00:09:42 | 00:09:45 | always recommend doing a niche specific |
| 00:09:44 | 00:09:47 | store just because you're gonna run into |
| 00:09:45 | 00:09:49 | issues with your Facebook pixel and it's |
| 00:09:47 | 00:09:51 | like I don't know my first store is a |
| 00:09:49 | 00:09:53 | general store it failed I've had more |
| 00:09:51 | 00:09:55 | success with niche stores that's just my |
| 00:09:53 | 00:09:57 | opinion you do what you want I would |
| 00:09:55 | 00:09:59 | recommend niche these questions are good |
| 00:09:57 | 00:10:00 | you guys ask good questions I hope this |
| 00:09:59 | 00:10:02 | is bring any value the Vermont writes |
| 00:10:00 | 00:10:04 | your guy asks as someone who doesn't |
| 00:10:02 | 00:10:05 | have sales yet but is on the verge of |
| 00:10:04 | 00:10:07 | coming up with an ad budget and whatnot |
| 00:10:05 | 00:10:09 | should I buy calm right away or should I |
| 00:10:07 | 00:10:09 | wait and see if my concept a Denisha |
| 00:10:09 | 00:10:12 | actually works |
| 00:10:09 | 00:10:14 | buh-buh-bah yes always always buy the |
| 00:10:12 | 00:10:15 | domain name for your store immediately |
| 00:10:14 | 00:10:16 | once you get it set up first of all |
| 00:10:15 | 00:10:18 | someone could take it from you second |
| 00:10:16 | 00:10:20 | it's literally like ten dollars or |
| 00:10:18 | 00:10:21 | thirteen dollars it's a joke so |
| 00:10:20 | 00:10:23 | definitely buy it it looks a lot better |
| 00:10:21 | 00:10:24 | it's gonna add so much credibility not |
| 00:10:23 | 00:10:26 | even credibility but it's like it looks |
| 00:10:24 | 00:10:28 | so unprofessional if you're running an |
| 00:10:26 | 00:10:30 | ad it has some ugly-ass link so |
| 00:10:28 | 00:10:31 | definitely go buy your domain Andre de |
| 00:10:30 | 00:10:34 | Nelson |
| 00:10:31 | 00:10:36 | asks so I go traffic up to 4k day but no |
| 00:10:34 | 00:10:38 | sales organic traffic by the way how can |
| 00:10:36 | 00:10:40 | I convert those visits into sales |
| 00:10:38 | 00:10:42 | not even all of them with maybe some at |
| 00:10:40 | 00:10:43 | least lol first of all if you're getting |
| 00:10:42 | 00:10:45 | four thousand visits I don't know if |
| 00:10:43 | 00:10:48 | that's a day Oh a day a holy [ __ ] um |
| 00:10:45 | 00:10:50 | you're either your audience sucks which |
| 00:10:48 | 00:10:52 | is most likely the case that traffic is |
| 00:10:50 | 00:10:53 | low-quality maybe it's not targeted for |
| 00:10:52 | 00:10:55 | the specific niche of the products |
| 00:10:53 | 00:10:56 | you're selling you might want to look at |
| 00:10:55 | 00:10:57 | how many check out for initiated because |
| 00:10:56 | 00:10:59 | if you have a ton of check out to being |
| 00:10:57 | 00:11:01 | initiated and no sales there's probably |
| 00:10:59 | 00:11:02 | an error with that that's not letting |
| 00:11:01 | 00:11:05 | people check out which is a huge problem |
| 00:11:02 | 00:11:06 | you gotta fix you say organic traffic so |
| 00:11:05 | 00:11:08 | I don't know exactly I didn't give me |
| 00:11:06 | 00:11:09 | too much information but it's likely an |
| 00:11:08 | 00:11:09 | issue with the traffic and where it's |
| 00:11:09 | 00:11:11 | coming from |
| 00:11:09 | 00:11:13 | it might be location so look at the |
| 00:11:11 | 00:11:15 | demographics on Gita's asks how do I |
| 00:11:13 | 00:11:17 | combine ecommerce with school you don't |
| 00:11:15 | 00:11:19 | two very separate things one is fun and |
| 00:11:17 | 00:11:20 | one is [ __ ] I'm just playing but |
| 00:11:19 | 00:11:22 | obviously is asking you know how can you |
| 00:11:20 | 00:11:24 | do both at the same time dude you have |
| 00:11:22 | 00:11:25 | two high schools like 8 hours a day |
| 00:11:24 | 00:11:27 | ok there's 24 hours in a day it's gonna |
| 00:11:25 | 00:11:28 | give you at least another 8 on top |
| 00:11:27 | 00:11:30 | school to figure this out just don't |
| 00:11:28 | 00:11:32 | make excuses in prioritize your time |
| 00:11:30 | 00:11:33 | Derrick Morrell asks also what are your |
| 00:11:32 | 00:11:35 | thoughts on shipping free versus paid |
| 00:11:33 | 00:11:37 | this is a good question okay I always |
| 00:11:35 | 00:11:39 | have free shipping if it's like a retail |
| 00:11:37 | 00:11:41 | or a product that's on sale but if it's |
| 00:11:39 | 00:11:43 | a free product obviously I'm charging |
| 00:11:41 | 00:11:44 | for shipping I'm just never gonna charge |
| 00:11:43 | 00:11:45 | them for the product and then shipping |
| 00:11:44 | 00:11:47 | as well you don't want them to feel like |
| 00:11:45 | 00:11:48 | they're being charged twice that's huge |
| 00:11:47 | 00:11:50 | there's not really a point just add the |
| 00:11:48 | 00:11:51 | shipping cost into the front end cost |
| 00:11:50 | 00:11:53 | that they're paying for the product |
| 00:11:51 | 00:11:55 | itself that's definitely gonna increase |
| 00:11:53 | 00:11:57 | your conversions Tanuja Kumar asks how |
| 00:11:55 | 00:11:59 | do you negotiate with influencers I |
| 00:11:57 | 00:12:00 | always pay the full price say that |
| 00:11:59 | 00:12:02 | you're looking to build a long-term |
| 00:12:00 | 00:12:03 | relationship and act as if you have a |
| 00:12:02 | 00:12:04 | ton of other stores with a lot of |
| 00:12:03 | 00:12:06 | influencers that you work with on a |
| 00:12:04 | 00:12:07 | regular basis because if you come off as |
| 00:12:06 | 00:12:09 | experienced they're gonna give you a |
| 00:12:07 | 00:12:11 | cheaper deal on the front end because |
| 00:12:09 | 00:12:13 | they want that long-term consistent you |
| 00:12:11 | 00:12:14 | know payments for shout outs on their |
| 00:12:13 | 00:12:15 | page that's definitely how I do and it |
| 00:12:14 | 00:12:16 | seems to work pretty well if you just |
| 00:12:15 | 00:12:19 | act like you know what you're doing |
| 00:12:16 | 00:12:20 | Austin dakotas asks do you set up a |
| 00:12:19 | 00:12:22 | different bank account for your Shopify |
| 00:12:20 | 00:12:23 | stores or do you just use your personal |
| 00:12:22 | 00:12:25 | account I run everything through a |
| 00:12:23 | 00:12:27 | couple of my different business accounts |
| 00:12:25 | 00:12:28 | that's a whole other conversation for |
| 00:12:27 | 00:12:29 | another day you can do what you want I |
| 00:12:28 | 00:12:30 | don't know if you've a business set up |
| 00:12:29 | 00:12:33 | for whatever but mine's just a whole |
| 00:12:30 | 00:12:35 | freakin mess of bank accounts personals |
| 00:12:33 | 00:12:37 | transfers monthly payments S Corp C |
| 00:12:35 | 00:12:39 | corpse LLC's DBA that's just absolutely |
| 00:12:37 | 00:12:42 | stupid and it's I'm not good at that |
| 00:12:39 | 00:12:43 | that's why I outsource it |
| 00:12:42 | 00:12:44 | hire someone to do it for you if you |
| 00:12:43 | 00:12:46 | don't understand it I'm meeting with the |
| 00:12:44 | 00:12:47 | CPA next week to figure out the tack |
| 00:12:46 | 00:12:48 | does it make sure I'm a hundred percent |
| 00:12:47 | 00:12:49 | good on that don't want to get screwed |
| 00:12:48 | 00:12:51 | over when it comes to that stuff |
| 00:12:49 | 00:12:53 | how are you growing your email list |
| 00:12:51 | 00:12:55 | Shoshi Chico asks how are you growing |
| 00:12:53 | 00:12:56 | your email list and how often you |
| 00:12:55 | 00:12:58 | sending them email your girl on the list |
| 00:12:56 | 00:13:00 | by bringing customers and giving them an |
| 00:12:58 | 00:13:02 | incentive or a reason to give you their |
| 00:13:00 | 00:13:03 | email and I usually send out emails once |
| 00:13:02 | 00:13:05 | a week it just depends on the store and |
| 00:13:03 | 00:13:06 | on you know what time of the year it is |
| 00:13:05 | 00:13:08 | like going into a quarter for it I can |
| 00:13:06 | 00:13:09 | really hit them for all the holidays you |
| 00:13:08 | 00:13:11 | know stuff like Halloween Thanksgiving |
| 00:13:09 | 00:13:12 | Christmas all that stuff no reason to |
| 00:13:11 | 00:13:13 | send an email but email marketing is |
| 00:13:12 | 00:13:15 | huge you can make a lot of money on that |
| 00:13:13 | 00:13:17 | on the backend so definitely focus on |
| 00:13:15 | 00:13:19 | like building a quality list lowest Khoa |
| 00:13:17 | 00:13:21 | that's says tell something about your |
| 00:13:19 | 00:13:22 | school there's not much to tell I do |
| 00:13:21 | 00:13:25 | online school yeah there's not much to |
| 00:13:22 | 00:13:26 | tell you know rah Lonnie asks what's |
| 00:13:25 | 00:13:29 | your opinion on starting to shop for |
| 00:13:26 | 00:13:30 | business under 18 hayden then asks |
| 00:13:29 | 00:13:32 | what's your reasoning for mentioning age |
| 00:13:30 | 00:13:34 | I don't really see a reason why people |
| 00:13:32 | 00:13:36 | keep bringing up age and all of this |
| 00:13:34 | 00:13:38 | there's not really a difference okay |
| 00:13:36 | 00:13:40 | people need to realize that if you're |
| 00:13:38 | 00:13:41 | under age that's your advantage you have |
| 00:13:40 | 00:13:43 | more time you're younger than all these |
| 00:13:41 | 00:13:45 | people you have more time to dedicate as |
| 00:13:43 | 00:13:46 | you don't have actual responsibilities |
| 00:13:45 | 00:13:49 | no bills you can invest all of your time |
| 00:13:46 | 00:13:50 | energy and resources into your store or |
| 00:13:49 | 00:13:51 | whatever business you're trying to do |
| 00:13:50 | 00:13:52 | and blow it up from there it's your |
| 00:13:51 | 00:13:54 | advantage so my advice to you would be |
| 00:13:52 | 00:13:55 | go ahead and run with it parents sweat |
| 00:13:54 | 00:13:57 | and ask Tejeda know you're getting bad |
| 00:13:55 | 00:13:58 | for a messaging a lot of influencers at |
| 00:13:57 | 00:13:59 | one time do you know any ways around it |
| 00:13:58 | 00:14:01 | when you hit that point you stop and |
| 00:13:59 | 00:14:03 | wait yeah you should do like five or ten |
| 00:14:01 | 00:14:05 | come back you know an hour or two later |
| 00:14:03 | 00:14:06 | another five or ten because Instagram |
| 00:14:05 | 00:14:08 | does have a cap I believe it's about |
| 00:14:06 | 00:14:09 | thirty if you keep it in at thirty every |
| 00:14:08 | 00:14:11 | single day trying to message influencers |
| 00:14:09 | 00:14:13 | every single time you hit that they're |
| 00:14:11 | 00:14:14 | just going to increase that like pause |
| 00:14:13 | 00:14:16 | period where it doesn't let you send any |
| 00:14:14 | 00:14:18 | dance so it's gonna go from a couple |
| 00:14:16 | 00:14:19 | hours to a day to a week to I think a |
| 00:14:18 | 00:14:22 | month against it's ridiculous |
| 00:14:19 | 00:14:23 | oh [ __ ] Johnson asks I opened a shop |
| 00:14:22 | 00:14:25 | about three weeks ago and although I'm |
| 00:14:23 | 00:14:27 | getting visitors I haven't sold anything |
| 00:14:25 | 00:14:29 | I just drastikally lowered my prices and |
| 00:14:27 | 00:14:30 | hope that people start buying okay first |
| 00:14:29 | 00:14:32 | of all why would you drastikally lower |
| 00:14:30 | 00:14:34 | your prices were they too high in the |
| 00:14:32 | 00:14:35 | first place is it not worth the value to |
| 00:14:34 | 00:14:36 | be not than the research you should |
| 00:14:35 | 00:14:37 | definitely go through a course or two |
| 00:14:36 | 00:14:38 | and make sure you know what you're doing |
| 00:14:37 | 00:14:39 | and setting things up the right way |
| 00:14:38 | 00:14:40 | because you shouldn't really have to |
| 00:14:39 | 00:14:42 | change your pricing if you did the |
| 00:14:40 | 00:14:43 | research on the front end to know the |
| 00:14:42 | 00:14:44 | audience know what they're trying to buy |
| 00:14:43 | 00:14:46 | and know how much you're paying for it |
| 00:14:44 | 00:14:48 | even shields asks awesome also do you go |
| 00:14:46 | 00:14:50 | to college you don't have to answer that |
| 00:14:48 | 00:14:53 | lol just curious no I don't go to Kyle |
| 00:14:50 | 00:14:55 | I'm 17 here's a good question by Madan |
| 00:14:53 | 00:14:56 | Gopal das he said hey bro nice videos |
| 00:14:55 | 00:14:57 | appreciate it a lot |
| 00:14:56 | 00:14:59 | thank you brother I appreciate it sport |
| 00:14:57 | 00:15:01 | I just got started a shot by last month |
| 00:14:59 | 00:15:03 | my question for your Q&A video is how do |
| 00:15:01 | 00:15:04 | you scale a winning ad that's huge and |
| 00:15:03 | 00:15:05 | I'm gonna assume what you're definitely |
| 00:15:04 | 00:15:07 | toking about Facebook increase the |
| 00:15:05 | 00:15:08 | budget but there's definitely a scale |
| 00:15:07 | 00:15:10 | like a growth chart you have to follow |
| 00:15:08 | 00:15:11 | otherwise base book o to see that you're |
| 00:15:10 | 00:15:13 | increasing the budget so they're gonna |
| 00:15:11 | 00:15:14 | make you spend more per purchase per |
| 00:15:13 | 00:15:15 | engagement whatever it is because they |
| 00:15:14 | 00:15:17 | see - you're adding into it so what I |
| 00:15:15 | 00:15:18 | like to do is I'll go up about 5 bucks a |
| 00:15:17 | 00:15:20 | day every 2 or 3 days |
| 00:15:18 | 00:15:22 | and I'll also be duplicating the |
| 00:15:20 | 00:15:23 | campaign and just doubling the budget so |
| 00:15:22 | 00:15:25 | I'll duplicate the execs and everything |
| 00:15:23 | 00:15:26 | just changed the budget that's a good |
| 00:15:25 | 00:15:28 | way I've heard people say both but |
| 00:15:26 | 00:15:30 | definitely start going from 5 bucks a |
| 00:15:28 | 00:15:31 | day to 500 a day to 5,000 every single |
| 00:15:30 | 00:15:33 | day because you're definitely gonna get |
| 00:15:31 | 00:15:35 | screwed over doing that Paul Harris asks |
| 00:15:33 | 00:15:36 | what were you doing at age 14 I was a |
| 00:15:35 | 00:15:38 | full time student I was trading stoks |
| 00:15:36 | 00:15:39 | every single day and I spent about 3 |
| 00:15:38 | 00:15:40 | months out of the year on tour |
| 00:15:39 | 00:15:42 | snowboarding which is something a lot |
| 00:15:40 | 00:15:43 | you didn't know I was about to go pro |
| 00:15:42 | 00:15:45 | with that that was gonna be my full set |
| 00:15:43 | 00:15:47 | career path but due to injuries and lack |
| 00:15:45 | 00:15:48 | of interest I switched that basically to |
| 00:15:47 | 00:15:49 | entrepreneurship because I got a lot |
| 00:15:48 | 00:15:51 | more interested in that do you tell the |
| 00:15:49 | 00:15:53 | influencers when like what time to post |
| 00:15:51 | 00:15:54 | your ad I do here's the thing I'll |
| 00:15:53 | 00:15:56 | figure out where their audience is |
| 00:15:54 | 00:15:57 | coming from and then I'm gonna make sure |
| 00:15:56 | 00:15:59 | I hit that audience in a certain |
| 00:15:57 | 00:16:00 | location at a time when they're actually |
| 00:15:59 | 00:16:02 | on their phones like later in the |
| 00:16:00 | 00:16:03 | evening you know like 5 p.m. and on or |
| 00:16:02 | 00:16:05 | I'll start it bright and early in the |
| 00:16:03 | 00:16:07 | morning like 6 7 a.m. in their time zone |
| 00:16:05 | 00:16:08 | because then people see that throughout |
| 00:16:07 | 00:16:09 | the day depending on how long the shot |
| 00:16:08 | 00:16:11 | it is so definitely do research on the |
| 00:16:09 | 00:16:13 | audience you're getting your products in |
| 00:16:11 | 00:16:16 | front of what quantum X right here |
| 00:16:13 | 00:16:19 | quarter for 2k 17 aka time to [ __ ] [ __ ] |
| 00:16:16 | 00:16:20 | of a Skeet Skeet stay walk this guy's |
| 00:16:19 | 00:16:23 | funny he also has how do you optimize |
| 00:16:20 | 00:16:24 | product / niche research and quarter |
| 00:16:23 | 00:16:26 | four for maximum profits I would |
| 00:16:24 | 00:16:27 | recommend trying to put some trend |
| 00:16:26 | 00:16:29 | products related to certain holidays |
| 00:16:27 | 00:16:29 | like Halloween's coming up then it's |
| 00:16:29 | 00:16:31 | gonna be Thanksgiving Christmas |
| 00:16:29 | 00:16:33 | depending on your niche trying to find |
| 00:16:31 | 00:16:34 | products that capitalize that that you |
| 00:16:33 | 00:16:35 | could actually put on your store that's |
| 00:16:34 | 00:16:36 | definitely something I'm doing alright |
| 00:16:35 | 00:16:38 | this is definitely one of the last |
| 00:16:36 | 00:16:40 | questions it's been a long video we'll |
| 00:16:38 | 00:16:42 | wrap this up Samuel Avila asks can you |
| 00:16:40 | 00:16:44 | reuse an IG influencer several times |
| 00:16:42 | 00:16:46 | maybe three times a week a day how do |
| 00:16:44 | 00:16:47 | you do it yes personally I like to do it |
| 00:16:46 | 00:16:49 | about every other day because you don't |
| 00:16:47 | 00:16:50 | want to end up over saturating their |
| 00:16:49 | 00:16:51 | audience and just blasting them with |
| 00:16:50 | 00:16:53 | different promotions because eventually |
| 00:16:51 | 00:16:54 | then it's gonna start not working for |
| 00:16:53 | 00:16:55 | you so spread it out have other |
| 00:16:54 | 00:16:56 | influence |
| 00:16:55 | 00:16:57 | you're working with as well that stuff |
| 00:16:56 | 00:16:59 | and the best way to do it will you do |
| 00:16:57 | 00:17:00 | affiliate marketing videos or just drop |
| 00:16:59 | 00:17:02 | shipping I don't know exactly I've done |
| 00:17:00 | 00:17:03 | a few on affiliate marketing back in the |
| 00:17:02 | 00:17:05 | beginning I deleted a lot of old videos |
| 00:17:03 | 00:17:07 | I want this channel right now to solely |
| 00:17:05 | 00:17:08 | focus on e-commerce just because that's |
| 00:17:07 | 00:17:10 | what I'm fully focused on that's what |
| 00:17:08 | 00:17:11 | interests me the most at the moment I |
| 00:17:10 | 00:17:12 | can and definitely will start branching |
| 00:17:11 | 00:17:14 | out making other videos in the near |
| 00:17:12 | 00:17:15 | future but for right now it's e-commerce |
| 00:17:14 | 00:17:17 | but let me know what kind of content you |
| 00:17:15 | 00:17:18 | guys want to see in the comments below |
