And now here's something we hope you
really like. You're listening to creating daily.
2
00:02:14.560 --> 00:02:16.719
Yeah, well, the number one
live streaming show that I'm the host
3
00:02:16.719 --> 00:02:21.000
of speaks to me. It's like
he's saying what I'm thinking, streaming on
4
00:02:24.960 --> 00:02:30.759
what is going on everyone. I
hope you are having an awesome Thursday.
5
00:02:30.919 --> 00:02:35.280
My name is Billie. This is
creating daily and Philsy. I've been gone
6
00:02:35.319 --> 00:02:38.879
forever, but I can't remember the
last time I've stream. I've been streaming
7
00:02:38.000 --> 00:02:44.319
two different places. been streaming to
Amazon quite a bit lately. I'll just
8
00:02:44.400 --> 00:02:49.000
change out this, this little boom
arm here, so it's I'm trying to
9
00:02:49.039 --> 00:02:51.840
forgure that out as well, so
might as well do that live. But
10
00:02:51.919 --> 00:02:54.800
I've been having a lot of fun. I've been focused on Amazon live.
11
00:02:55.199 --> 00:03:01.120
I've been focused on creating product videos, short form videos, for Amazon,
12
00:03:01.280 --> 00:03:05.360
and so I want to share a
little bit about that journey because I'm literally
13
00:03:05.360 --> 00:03:08.280
making money while I sleep and I
know as a content creator, most of
14
00:03:08.360 --> 00:03:12.639
us are trying to figure out like, how do we monetize this sooner than
15
00:03:12.719 --> 00:03:15.879
later? And for people who know
me, you know more from the podcast
16
00:03:15.879 --> 00:03:17.199
world. What's up me? By
the way, good to see you man,
17
00:03:17.240 --> 00:03:20.599
what is up John? Good to
see you as well. If you
18
00:03:20.599 --> 00:03:23.360
know me from the podcast world then
you know that this is one of my
19
00:03:23.360 --> 00:03:29.520
biggest passions, is to help podcasters
and content creators make some money. Figure
20
00:03:29.560 --> 00:03:34.599
that out. So I primarily have
been focused on sponsorships. But now I'm
21
00:03:35.120 --> 00:03:38.360
still focused on sponsorships. I still
have sponsors, you know, for my
22
00:03:38.360 --> 00:03:42.039
podcast, for different projects. But, as we all know, if you're
23
00:03:42.080 --> 00:03:45.520
just stuck in one thing, you're
doing one thing and that's your bread and
24
00:03:45.560 --> 00:03:49.439
butter. If that goes away,
which that actually happened to me today,
25
00:03:49.479 --> 00:03:53.800
I had a email in my inbox
from one of our sponsors. It said,
26
00:03:53.800 --> 00:03:57.120
hey, cost of business is going
up, we're cutting some, you
27
00:03:57.159 --> 00:04:00.840
know, things around here and unfortunately
your podcast is on the cutting block.
28
00:04:00.919 --> 00:04:03.439
It's on the chopping block. So
we're going to we're going to, you
29
00:04:03.479 --> 00:04:09.159
know, discontinue sponsorship with you until
further notice so you know, finish up
30
00:04:09.199 --> 00:04:12.080
billing US whatever you need to build
us and then, you know, we'll
31
00:04:12.080 --> 00:04:14.919
pay that off and we'll be,
you know, kind of a clean slate.
32
00:04:14.960 --> 00:04:16.680
And while that is like, Oh
man, as a huge bummer,
33
00:04:16.839 --> 00:04:21.560
that stinks, luckily for myself and
also for my podcast partner. We've set
34
00:04:21.600 --> 00:04:27.480
up different streams of revenue within that
business. So we're not just like freaking
35
00:04:27.519 --> 00:04:29.360
out right now, going Oh,
man, I'll you know, we're going
36
00:04:29.399 --> 00:04:32.519
to lose all this money from this
one sponsor or whatnot. And sure,
37
00:04:32.560 --> 00:04:36.000
we go out, we do some
work, we replace that sponsor, we,
38
00:04:36.199 --> 00:04:39.399
you know, do that kind of
thing. Now. We're super grateful
39
00:04:39.439 --> 00:04:43.480
for them, super grateful for the
episodes, The Times, days months they've
40
00:04:43.519 --> 00:04:46.439
been with us, but we're not
freaking out, and it's because we've set
41
00:04:46.519 --> 00:04:51.720
up multiple streams of revenue into that
business and actually have plans to do that
42
00:04:51.800 --> 00:04:57.800
more. And same with me as
an individual creator working on my own projects.
43
00:04:57.839 --> 00:05:00.680
I am not just focused on,
you know, one or two things.
44
00:05:00.759 --> 00:05:04.480
I'm trying to really, you know
like be out there, put put
45
00:05:04.519 --> 00:05:08.439
my little fillers out there, figure
out what's going to work for me and
46
00:05:08.839 --> 00:05:12.720
what can I work to do and
build, you know, build a business
47
00:05:12.720 --> 00:05:15.360
as a content creator. And so
one of those ways is through live selling.
48
00:05:15.399 --> 00:05:18.519
Now I've had a couple people on
the show already this year to talk
49
00:05:18.639 --> 00:05:23.759
about it. One was monty weaver
and then the other one is Chris Stone.
50
00:05:23.879 --> 00:05:28.600
Now I blame both of these guys
for, you know, like really
51
00:05:28.600 --> 00:05:33.199
just inspiring me to continue on with
Amazon live and really push forward. You
52
00:05:33.199 --> 00:05:35.800
know, especially now I'm back in
the states and I can work with brands
53
00:05:35.879 --> 00:05:40.519
and I can work with product developers
and things like that, it's a little
54
00:05:40.560 --> 00:05:43.759
bit easier than when I was in
the middle of the ocean. And so
55
00:05:44.000 --> 00:05:46.879
I got back, obviously I haven't
been on regular schedule with creating daily because
56
00:05:46.879 --> 00:05:51.279
I've been trying to figure out how
do I take creating daily and implement an
57
00:05:51.319 --> 00:05:57.720
Amazon live or now Ebay, Ebay
live, ebays mentioned. Saw An article,
58
00:05:57.720 --> 00:06:01.519
like my friend Chris Giles posted today, that Ebay is, you know,
59
00:06:01.519 --> 00:06:05.160
announcing they're going to go live.
I think Walmart is announcing they're going
60
00:06:05.160 --> 00:06:11.720
to have a live platform. So
live selling for us content creators is another
61
00:06:11.800 --> 00:06:15.360
opportunity to create content and to make
money with that, and so I've been
62
00:06:15.399 --> 00:06:18.439
doing this with Amazon. I've been
on Amazon for a little I think a
63
00:06:18.439 --> 00:06:23.759
little over a year, and I
haven't really been super focused on it.
64
00:06:23.920 --> 00:06:29.519
I posted some videos, two thirty
videos, and those have been really making
65
00:06:29.519 --> 00:06:32.319
money every single day while I sleep, which is Crez I mean I just
66
00:06:32.399 --> 00:06:35.560
wall asleep, but while I'm doing
anything right or other. I'm creating other
67
00:06:35.600 --> 00:06:40.639
content or whatever, and that's through
shoppable videos, and so I wanted to
68
00:06:40.639 --> 00:06:44.560
show you guys a little bit about
that today to hopefully inspire you. And
69
00:06:44.600 --> 00:06:47.480
then, you know, it does
take and I don't know the exact numbers
70
00:06:48.240 --> 00:06:54.120
or whatever to become an Amazon influencer, but you can google, you know,
71
00:06:54.160 --> 00:06:58.439
become an Amazon influencer, get the
link and apply and you use one
72
00:06:58.439 --> 00:07:00.519
of your social media accounts. Now, when I was doing it, I
73
00:07:00.519 --> 00:07:04.120
think I had to have like twenty
five hundred followers on, you know,
74
00:07:04.160 --> 00:07:09.279
like facebook or instagram. I think
now you can do like Tick Tock.
75
00:07:09.439 --> 00:07:13.959
I think you can implement tick tock
into it and maybe some other platforms that
76
00:07:14.079 --> 00:07:17.480
weren't. And literally with Tick Tock, I mean you could literally grow at
77
00:07:17.480 --> 00:07:20.519
Tick Tock Account. I had a
friend do this. made a bunch of
78
00:07:20.600 --> 00:07:25.000
videos, a couple of them sparked
off. Before you know it, now
79
00:07:25.000 --> 00:07:29.519
he has like from zero, never
really created a ton of content, never
80
00:07:29.600 --> 00:07:32.959
focussed on it. When from zero
followers on tick tock it's like fourteenzero or
81
00:07:33.040 --> 00:07:38.120
something. So if I was going
to do it all over again, that's
82
00:07:38.160 --> 00:07:40.360
probably what I would do, is
like head over to tick Tock, start
83
00:07:40.360 --> 00:07:44.480
making a bunch of videos and try
to get those numbers up. And once
84
00:07:44.519 --> 00:07:47.199
again, I think it was like
twenty five hundred when I started, but
85
00:07:47.279 --> 00:07:51.560
that was also, I believe,
over, definitely over a year ago,
86
00:07:51.800 --> 00:07:55.839
maybe a year and a half ago. So anyway, you might be going,
87
00:07:56.199 --> 00:07:58.439
all right, billy, this is
great, this is live sellings,
88
00:07:58.519 --> 00:08:01.120
cool, you know, whatever you're
talking about sounds fun, but what the
89
00:08:01.120 --> 00:08:05.480
heck is it? And so I
want to jump over here and show you,
90
00:08:05.480 --> 00:08:09.560
you know, kind of what I've
been working on as far as as
91
00:08:09.560 --> 00:08:15.079
far as Amazon live goes and what
I've been creating on their platform. So
92
00:08:15.160 --> 00:08:18.120
let me pull up a window here
so I can show you. So,
93
00:08:18.160 --> 00:08:22.879
first of all, there's a few
different ways to monetize Amazon that I figured
94
00:08:22.920 --> 00:08:26.720
out so far. One of those
ways is to go live. So you
95
00:08:26.759 --> 00:08:28.319
sign up for Amazon live account.
Yeah, I think you have to go
96
00:08:28.439 --> 00:08:33.000
live like not not consider not at
one time, but I think over a
97
00:08:33.039 --> 00:08:37.600
period of you know whatever, like
ninety minutes. So a total amount of
98
00:08:37.639 --> 00:08:41.600
like ninety minutes, or this is
what it was when I signed up.
99
00:08:41.039 --> 00:08:43.039
So you can do that hour and
a half stream. We can do that
100
00:08:43.039 --> 00:08:46.600
to forty five minut streams or thirty
minute streams, whatever you wanted to just
101
00:08:46.600 --> 00:08:50.159
got to hit that ninety minute mark, I believe, and then you go
102
00:08:50.279 --> 00:08:56.360
from like a rising star to you
can apply for the I believe it's insider,
103
00:08:56.759 --> 00:09:01.879
and what insider does allows you to
now I'll create shoppable videos. You
104
00:09:01.879 --> 00:09:05.840
can think of these is like short
form videos or Amazon shorts or something of
105
00:09:05.840 --> 00:09:09.519
that nature, from you know,
call a lot of stuff or influence or
106
00:09:09.600 --> 00:09:15.000
videos, and it's kind of like
youtube, but not really, because the
107
00:09:15.000 --> 00:09:20.519
whole idea is for me to show
you a product as you're shopping on Amazon
108
00:09:20.600 --> 00:09:22.240
already. So you're already on there, you're already shopping and you're like,
109
00:09:22.279 --> 00:09:26.399
okay, I'm shopping for, I
don't know, like some sparkling water,
110
00:09:26.559 --> 00:09:30.600
like you know, I've heard liquid
death. I'm going to go shop around,
111
00:09:30.600 --> 00:09:33.440
I'm going to see if I can
find some sparkling water that's different than
112
00:09:33.480 --> 00:09:37.440
what I drink normally. And then
you come across the page with there with
113
00:09:37.519 --> 00:09:41.720
the severed line, you know,
liquid death, sparkling water, and you're
114
00:09:41.759 --> 00:09:45.080
scrolling around and all of a sudden
you see this video and it's me going
115
00:09:45.200 --> 00:09:48.639
hey, guys, are just bought
this I tasted it so good, making
116
00:09:48.679 --> 00:09:52.360
Mohito out of it, make whatever
you want to, and that in that
117
00:09:52.399 --> 00:09:54.720
pushes you kind of over the edge
to go. You know what, I'm
118
00:09:54.759 --> 00:09:56.600
going to try that. This guy
seems cool, whatever. It's the same
119
00:09:56.679 --> 00:10:00.759
thing as we go on Youtube and
we watch a ton of videos about like
120
00:10:00.799 --> 00:10:05.120
a pot Trefour, roadcaster pro or
whatever and then Wa that helps us make
121
00:10:05.200 --> 00:10:07.799
that decision. So I think Amazon
probably scretch their head like why are all
122
00:10:07.840 --> 00:10:11.559
these people going to youtube? We
have this huge platform, let's do the
123
00:10:11.879 --> 00:10:18.159
shopping videos on our platform and give
our customers a unique experience. Now the
124
00:10:18.320 --> 00:10:24.240
difference here from Youtube to Amazon that
I've seen is youtube wants people to stay
125
00:10:24.360 --> 00:10:28.759
on Youtube because they sell ads.
So if you can get somebody on there
126
00:10:28.279 --> 00:10:31.799
for twenty minutes, thirty minutes,
an hour, two, three, four,
127
00:10:33.000 --> 00:10:35.639
ten hours whatever, they're super pumped. You're going to get rewarded for
128
00:10:35.720 --> 00:10:39.000
that because they want the attention to
those as people to see those ads,
129
00:10:39.080 --> 00:10:41.879
to get that add money, to
add revenue and then give you a little
130
00:10:41.919 --> 00:10:46.600
bit of that money. But with
Amazon, what I've seen, anyway in
131
00:10:46.720 --> 00:10:50.559
my experience, is it's a one
to twelve minute video and I'm going to
132
00:10:50.600 --> 00:10:54.840
talk about shoppable. So it's one
to twelve minutes for these short form videos,
133
00:10:54.919 --> 00:11:00.240
for the shoppable videos, and it's
really simple, like I make really
134
00:11:00.279 --> 00:11:03.679
simple ones. I'll show them to
you here in just second. I'll kind
135
00:11:03.679 --> 00:11:07.639
of show you how I do it. And I'm not saying I'm like the
136
00:11:07.759 --> 00:11:11.559
Golden Star, the Golden Eagle or
anything, but I've been making money every
137
00:11:11.600 --> 00:11:15.360
single day and they seem to convert
pretty well. And so basically what you
138
00:11:15.440 --> 00:11:16.679
do and say. If I wanted
to, you know, this joe be
139
00:11:18.399 --> 00:11:22.720
like phone holder. Okay, so
the thing's pretty cool. It's awesome.
140
00:11:22.720 --> 00:11:24.759
I think it's like one thousand nine
hundred and ninety nine on Amazon or whatever,
141
00:11:26.759 --> 00:11:28.559
and so I'm I want to talk
about it right I want to share
142
00:11:28.600 --> 00:11:33.000
my experience. So now I'm not
really creating a youtube video. I'm not
143
00:11:33.120 --> 00:11:35.480
really doing like a like a like
a b roll shot where this is spin
144
00:11:35.600 --> 00:11:39.919
around on a little table and I'm
not doing any of that. I'm literally
145
00:11:39.960 --> 00:11:41.080
saying like, okay, today I'm
going to talk about this Joe Be,
146
00:11:41.600 --> 00:11:45.480
you know, phone holder or whatever. Check this thing out. It does
147
00:11:45.600 --> 00:11:48.879
this. I've had it for two
or three years now and you know,
148
00:11:48.159 --> 00:11:52.440
just two different sizes, but I
mainly use it for an overhead camp so
149
00:11:52.519 --> 00:11:56.519
I can get this shot, you
know, paired with a you know whatever,
150
00:11:56.679 --> 00:12:01.000
like a like a boom arm with
an adapter on it, so I
151
00:12:01.039 --> 00:12:03.320
can get this a little overhead shot. And so basically that's what I'm doing.
152
00:12:03.440 --> 00:12:07.039
I'm saying my experience good, bad, ugly, and I think of
153
00:12:07.120 --> 00:12:09.639
it is like if I'm sitting in
front of a body of mine and he
154
00:12:09.720 --> 00:12:11.559
says, Hey, man, what
do you think about that phone holder?
155
00:12:11.720 --> 00:12:15.440
Like a well, man, it's
really nice. It's, you know,
156
00:12:15.639 --> 00:12:18.519
it's black, so it's a little
tough. I lose it my bag.
157
00:12:18.600 --> 00:12:22.000
It's pretty small but also makes awesome
thing put in my pocket. It feels
158
00:12:22.080 --> 00:12:26.120
flimsy, but it's not. It's
like really hard metal you know whatever.
159
00:12:26.240 --> 00:12:30.720
Like I'm kind of talking like that. I'm not really trying to create this
160
00:12:30.919 --> 00:12:35.399
real long form video to get people
to keep listening and listening and listening.
161
00:12:35.559 --> 00:12:39.399
So it's pretty simple and that's what's
called like a shoppable video, and those
162
00:12:39.559 --> 00:12:43.480
live on a page like this.
So this is my creating daily page.
163
00:12:43.519 --> 00:12:48.480
You can go to Billy Thorpe dot
live and check it out. I will
164
00:12:48.480 --> 00:12:52.120
actually let me do this. I'll
actually put it on the screen here.
165
00:12:54.159 --> 00:12:56.559
I'm probably sure link it somewhere,
but I'm going live multiple places. So
166
00:12:56.840 --> 00:13:01.480
you can just go to Billy Thorpe
dot live and if you want to see
167
00:13:01.559 --> 00:13:05.919
this in action, is so this
page right here, as you can tell,
168
00:13:05.600 --> 00:13:09.559
is a bunch of short form videos. Here's one of the pod tract
169
00:13:09.600 --> 00:13:13.600
P four is, five minutes twenty
six seconds. Here's one of the glide
170
00:13:13.639 --> 00:13:16.480
guarteep one hundred four minutes, four
and a half minutes, three minutes for
171
00:13:16.519 --> 00:13:20.360
a cannon USRP. I'm just doing
one and a half of a review for
172
00:13:20.480 --> 00:13:24.200
that. The thirty five millimeter macro
one one a half minutes, six minutes
173
00:13:24.279 --> 00:13:28.360
for this microphone arm, which actually
was sent to me by a brand which
174
00:13:28.399 --> 00:13:31.320
I'll talk about in a minute.
You know, dummy battery, flip flops,
175
00:13:33.240 --> 00:13:35.679
flip flops, okay, this is
my favorite. Flip flops. Their
176
00:13:35.720 --> 00:13:37.519
wides, by the way, if
you need a pair, those things are
177
00:13:37.519 --> 00:13:41.080
awesome. I Love Them. You
know, some lights to get from my
178
00:13:41.120 --> 00:13:43.799
studio, a cooler, which was
also sent to me by a brand,
179
00:13:43.600 --> 00:13:48.960
my camera, my guitar, anything
that you can think of, and this
180
00:13:48.159 --> 00:13:52.320
is where it gets a little bit
weird for me because I come from the
181
00:13:52.399 --> 00:13:58.240
world of Niche. Like I am
a niche podcaster in the fishing space on
182
00:13:58.360 --> 00:14:01.679
the coast of North Carolina and that
is what we focus on. We don't
183
00:14:01.679 --> 00:14:05.000
talk about any fisheries or any fish
that doesn't live in the salt, that
184
00:14:05.120 --> 00:14:07.720
doesn't live on the coast North Carolina. So when Amazon live came around and
185
00:14:07.799 --> 00:14:11.960
Chris Giles and Monte Weaver and Chris
Stone and and Jim Fuse and some of
186
00:14:11.960 --> 00:14:16.399
these guys and Dan Courier, when
they are all like saying hey, you
187
00:14:16.440 --> 00:14:18.559
guys, gotta Check Out Amazon,
I'm going, Oh, what are you
188
00:14:18.639 --> 00:14:22.120
talking about? Like, what do
you mean? What kind of products do
189
00:14:22.200 --> 00:14:24.519
you talk about? You know,
do you talk about? I don't have
190
00:14:24.639 --> 00:14:26.200
that many products. Like I got
some live streaming gear, I get some
191
00:14:26.320 --> 00:14:30.559
lights, I guess some whatever,
but I'm eventually going to run out and
192
00:14:30.600 --> 00:14:31.799
they're like now, Dude, you
can talk about anything you know, like
193
00:14:33.360 --> 00:14:37.000
anything like this doesn't make sense.
So you know at first glance, as
194
00:14:37.000 --> 00:14:41.960
a content creator who I believe the
more niche, the more you know,
195
00:14:41.159 --> 00:14:46.039
juice that you can have in the
in algorithms and Seo searches and all this
196
00:14:46.159 --> 00:14:50.600
kind of stuff. I was a
little bit confused that I could talk about
197
00:14:50.639 --> 00:14:56.240
my sparkling water, talk about my
microphone, my smsvb, talk about my
198
00:14:56.399 --> 00:15:01.480
flip flops, talk about a sponge. I think I have a video somewhere
199
00:15:01.679 --> 00:15:05.840
on here on this page, where
I'm talking about a sponge, a spaghetti
200
00:15:05.120 --> 00:15:11.279
sponge, a t I did a
first reaction to some kind of a tea
201
00:15:11.360 --> 00:15:15.759
that my wife liked, a bounty
castle. Okay, so let me just
202
00:15:15.879 --> 00:15:18.480
show you this little bouncy gassle real
quick, by the way. So this
203
00:15:18.639 --> 00:15:20.440
little bouncy gas so you can see
it right there kind of in the middle
204
00:15:20.559 --> 00:15:24.000
of the hey. Okay, yeah, cool, I can zoom in.
205
00:15:24.080 --> 00:15:28.519
So right here in the middle of
the page, that's when I weighed a
206
00:15:28.559 --> 00:15:31.080
little bit more weight as well.
So this is kind of Nice to look
207
00:15:31.120 --> 00:15:35.879
back on. But right there this
little bouncy house. I literally took pictures
208
00:15:35.000 --> 00:15:39.440
of it. I literally just shared
my experience that my three year old love
209
00:15:39.559 --> 00:15:43.039
this bouncy house. It's one of
my favorite toys to play with and all
210
00:15:43.120 --> 00:15:46.799
that kind of stuff, and this
thing is one of my number one selling
211
00:15:46.879 --> 00:15:50.720
items on Amazon and when they sell. So here's how it works. You
212
00:15:50.960 --> 00:15:54.879
create a shoppable. That's what I
call them, shoppable or short form video.
213
00:15:54.480 --> 00:15:58.919
Then you submit it, it gets
reviewed, they say yes, it's
214
00:16:00.000 --> 00:16:03.519
in there. Well, then it
starts getting rotated through product pages. So
215
00:16:03.600 --> 00:16:07.399
when you go to Amazon. So
I'm going to Amazoncom and I don't know,
216
00:16:07.919 --> 00:16:11.879
we'll just go to a product that
I think I might have a product
217
00:16:11.039 --> 00:16:17.519
on. So let me get a
let me go to to this product.
218
00:16:17.679 --> 00:16:19.679
I don't know if my products is
on here, not my video. I
219
00:16:19.799 --> 00:16:23.399
think it is, because I saw
a couple of them selling. So let
220
00:16:23.440 --> 00:16:27.879
me just go down real quick and
see. Oh yeah, okay, good.
221
00:16:27.919 --> 00:16:32.600
So here we go. So let's
jump over here. So this is
222
00:16:32.679 --> 00:16:37.000
the Manscape lawnmower. Foh, now, mind you. Manscape sent this product
223
00:16:37.080 --> 00:16:41.159
to me for a different project and
then I was like, Oh, I
224
00:16:41.200 --> 00:16:44.799
should make a video about it.
So if I click to play this video,
225
00:16:45.559 --> 00:16:52.600
this is literally just an overhead shot
of me talking about the the the
226
00:16:52.720 --> 00:16:56.360
Manscape Lawn Moore, and I'm saying, Hey, this is me after him,
227
00:16:56.919 --> 00:17:00.440
you know, four months review of
this thing and now it lives on
228
00:17:00.600 --> 00:17:04.160
this product page. So this is
their product page and if you come here
229
00:17:04.240 --> 00:17:07.920
to videos on the side, it
shows you all the different pictures. If
230
00:17:08.000 --> 00:17:15.480
it goes to videos, then then
my video is going to be in the
231
00:17:15.599 --> 00:17:18.279
in the video section, or if
you scroll down to the bottom, my
232
00:17:18.400 --> 00:17:19.599
video is going to be in the
video section. What's So del Casters was
233
00:17:19.680 --> 00:17:25.759
just talking about Chris Stone and Jim
feuse and you know, like how you
234
00:17:25.799 --> 00:17:30.519
guys inspire me to continue on in
this Amazon game, and so I've really
235
00:17:30.519 --> 00:17:32.599
been stepping it up. That's where
I've been. That's what I've been doing,
236
00:17:33.240 --> 00:17:37.079
is really working on it. So
if you're a creator and you we
237
00:17:37.240 --> 00:17:40.680
all have stuff, okay, like
I did. I did a quick video
238
00:17:40.920 --> 00:17:44.400
on my guitar. I did a
quick video on this. I've done a
239
00:17:44.519 --> 00:17:48.559
quick video on everything and just created
these shoppable videos and they live on here
240
00:17:49.000 --> 00:17:52.480
one they live a few different places
when they live on my page. So
241
00:17:52.599 --> 00:17:56.160
Billy Thorpe dot live. If you
go there, you can go check out
242
00:17:56.200 --> 00:17:59.880
all those videos. If you click
on them and you you make a perk,
243
00:18:00.039 --> 00:18:03.359
just it's a qualified purchase. I
get a small percentage. Now I've
244
00:18:03.400 --> 00:18:06.720
seen percentages range. You know,
most of the stuff that I'm selling is
245
00:18:06.759 --> 00:18:10.319
like two to four percent, depends
on what it is, and there's probably
246
00:18:10.440 --> 00:18:14.279
some strategy. Well, I'M gonna
say probably there there's some strategy that you
247
00:18:14.359 --> 00:18:17.559
can go through and really strategize on
how to make the most money. You
248
00:18:17.680 --> 00:18:22.960
know, in there's certain categories that
pay for whatever level of career that you're
249
00:18:22.000 --> 00:18:26.200
at, different percentages, and so
there's a lot of opportunity here. And
250
00:18:26.279 --> 00:18:30.119
if if you want more information on
it, for sure go listen to the
251
00:18:30.200 --> 00:18:34.519
episodes I do with Chris Stone and
Monty Weaver. They've been in it for
252
00:18:34.559 --> 00:18:38.319
a while and you know, I've
been sitting on it. I've been sleeping
253
00:18:38.440 --> 00:18:41.799
on it, ridiculously, just sleeping
on it. But anyway, so these
254
00:18:41.960 --> 00:18:47.039
videos, I posted twelve of them
in the last five days, and they
255
00:18:47.160 --> 00:18:51.039
will go, you know, get
rotated through product pages, you know whatnot.
256
00:18:51.079 --> 00:18:53.599
And I don't know if anybody really
understands exactly time frames and all that
257
00:18:53.640 --> 00:18:56.960
stuff. I don't know if anybody's
been tracking it, but I kind of
258
00:18:57.119 --> 00:19:00.960
notice, you know, a cycle
that will go through. So I'll have
259
00:19:00.079 --> 00:19:03.319
some products like this microphone, like
this microphone, and make pretty good commission
260
00:19:03.359 --> 00:19:07.519
on it and I'll know like it'll
cycle through, you know, maybe a
261
00:19:07.599 --> 00:19:11.400
week or two and then it'll cycle
out. But the game is to just
262
00:19:11.759 --> 00:19:14.559
put as many products on here,
as I can write some more products,
263
00:19:14.640 --> 00:19:18.039
more opportunity, more cycles, more, you know, rotating products that are
264
00:19:18.079 --> 00:19:22.720
going through these these care cells on
these product pages and with people click on
265
00:19:22.839 --> 00:19:25.720
them and make a purchase. I
get paid. So literally, I work
266
00:19:25.880 --> 00:19:29.519
one time I do a three minute
video. Now I'm doing it. I'm
267
00:19:29.559 --> 00:19:30.920
doing it live, so I got
it. Am doing live to drive.
268
00:19:32.039 --> 00:19:34.200
So just like this video, I'm
like, Oh, hey, guys,
269
00:19:34.200 --> 00:19:37.279
what's up? Today? We're going
to talk about the I don't know,
270
00:19:37.480 --> 00:19:40.759
like the pod track pfour. Okay, so here it is. It's on
271
00:19:40.839 --> 00:19:42.839
my desk. This button does this, this does this, and I might
272
00:19:42.880 --> 00:19:45.599
pick it up show all the stuff
about it. You know, tell why
273
00:19:45.640 --> 00:19:49.680
I love it. I'm probably more
like this. I have a little video
274
00:19:49.839 --> 00:19:53.359
here in the bottom corner, as
you can see. In I'm creating a
275
00:19:53.440 --> 00:19:56.480
video just like this and I might
switch shots, but a boom by the
276
00:19:56.559 --> 00:20:00.160
baying. But when I'm done,
I'm done, I'll trim off the front,
277
00:20:00.200 --> 00:20:03.599
I'll trim off the back and I'll
submit it and I'm finished and I'm
278
00:20:03.640 --> 00:20:07.039
finished with that video. So essentially, probably for a five minute video by
279
00:20:07.359 --> 00:20:11.359
front to start takes me ten minutes. Takes me ten minutes to do it,
280
00:20:11.279 --> 00:20:14.880
you know, and I prep time
too, so I shouldn't just say
281
00:20:14.960 --> 00:20:17.480
like it's Oh, it's that easy. I mean some products, the Pfo,
282
00:20:17.519 --> 00:20:19.240
I've been using it for a long
time. I know everything about it.
283
00:20:19.359 --> 00:20:22.799
I can walk it with my eyes
closed. You know, the Sony
284
00:20:23.039 --> 00:20:26.759
Zv one that I just got.
I had to do a little bit of
285
00:20:26.839 --> 00:20:29.799
research in you know, I'm learning
it too, and that's a part of
286
00:20:29.880 --> 00:20:33.519
the video is, Hey, I
just got this camera, I'm learning about
287
00:20:33.559 --> 00:20:34.759
it. One of the things I
love about it, though, is this,
288
00:20:36.880 --> 00:20:40.400
you know, like the auto focus, the product feature where I can
289
00:20:40.519 --> 00:20:42.839
show a product in my cannon.
US Harp didn't do that. You know.
290
00:20:42.960 --> 00:20:48.319
That's part of my experience and so, once again, these shoppable videos
291
00:20:48.960 --> 00:20:52.880
are me just sharing those types of
experiences. So that's one way you can
292
00:20:52.920 --> 00:20:56.079
make some money, and in my
opinion it's the most passive way on this
293
00:20:56.160 --> 00:21:00.480
platform to make money, is to
create a bunch of these little shoppable videos.
294
00:21:02.160 --> 00:21:03.880
And you might say, well,
man, how the world do you
295
00:21:03.960 --> 00:21:07.759
get product? And this is the
part that I'm just diving into in the
296
00:21:07.880 --> 00:21:12.200
last couple weeks, is working with
product manufacturers, brands, and so I'm
297
00:21:12.240 --> 00:21:15.480
reaching out to them. They're reaching
out to me, and this is where
298
00:21:15.599 --> 00:21:18.559
going live kind of helps, because
they can see me go alive and they
299
00:21:18.599 --> 00:21:21.880
can see my style and all that, and if they go hey, we
300
00:21:21.960 --> 00:21:25.000
won't work with this guy, they'll
reach out to me. But there's you
301
00:21:25.039 --> 00:21:27.759
know, there's different groups, there's
different Amazon Creator groups on facebook and a
302
00:21:27.839 --> 00:21:33.000
lot of these product companies in reps
or in those groups and they'll just say
303
00:21:33.279 --> 00:21:36.359
hey, guys, we got this
dog shock collar, like. Who wants,
304
00:21:36.519 --> 00:21:38.079
you know, who wants to take
a look at it? Who thinks
305
00:21:38.119 --> 00:21:41.640
they can do a good job?
And then you reach out and then that's
306
00:21:41.680 --> 00:21:47.240
where the negotiation starts. In the
way I'm doing it is I am,
307
00:21:48.000 --> 00:21:49.319
you know, one I get the
product for free, I get a ship
308
00:21:49.400 --> 00:21:53.079
to me for free, so that's
really cool, but then I'm putting a
309
00:21:53.119 --> 00:21:56.960
little fee on top of that.
So it depends on the product, depends
310
00:21:56.039 --> 00:21:57.960
on, you know, how long
I think it will take me all that
311
00:21:59.039 --> 00:22:02.319
kind of stuff, and everybody's rates
are probably varying. But that's another way
312
00:22:02.400 --> 00:22:03.720
to make money. One you get
free product, you can show it.
313
00:22:03.839 --> 00:22:07.440
Now you have a stock of product. So when you go live or you
314
00:22:07.480 --> 00:22:11.440
want to create shoppable videos, now
you have this influx of products coming in
315
00:22:11.680 --> 00:22:15.920
and you're working with these brands and
you're getting paid to do the content,
316
00:22:17.160 --> 00:22:22.000
to create the video, but then
you're also getting paid on the residual revenue
317
00:22:22.039 --> 00:22:26.000
that you're going to make off of
the video for the next months years.
318
00:22:26.359 --> 00:22:29.880
I don't know how long it's going
to be around, but I know I'm
319
00:22:30.039 --> 00:22:33.079
putting some work into it up front. That way it'll continue to pay out
320
00:22:33.160 --> 00:22:41.440
as we go and so this is
really just an incredible platform that you know,
321
00:22:41.680 --> 00:22:45.119
once again for a kind of for
me, it's still confusing because I
322
00:22:45.240 --> 00:22:51.759
am so used to niche products in
niche markets that when I am doing a
323
00:22:51.920 --> 00:22:56.000
video about a microphone and then I'm
doing a video about a backpack that that's
324
00:22:56.039 --> 00:23:00.359
a cooler, it like confuses my
own brain. But I know that it's
325
00:23:00.759 --> 00:23:03.720
it's okay and I know that you
can do it. So it feels a
326
00:23:03.759 --> 00:23:06.519
little weird at first, feel like
you're taking shower with your with your clothes
327
00:23:06.599 --> 00:23:11.480
on, but is definitely paying off
and I can and it's one of the
328
00:23:11.640 --> 00:23:15.640
only and I'm kind of rambling at
this point, but I'm really passionate about
329
00:23:15.640 --> 00:23:18.519
it, especially right now because I'm
so focused on it, but it's really
330
00:23:18.880 --> 00:23:22.720
the only type of content creation that
I can say. You know, you
331
00:23:23.079 --> 00:23:26.599
get your following where you need to
on one of these platforms, you get
332
00:23:26.640 --> 00:23:30.440
approved, you go live, you
move into the shoppables, the next level.
333
00:23:30.480 --> 00:23:33.880
There's three different tiers, so you
move into the second tier and it's
334
00:23:33.920 --> 00:23:37.559
the only thing that I can say
that like you can literally make money.
335
00:23:37.559 --> 00:23:41.640
You can start it today and you
can see money coming in tomorrow. And
336
00:23:41.720 --> 00:23:45.720
that's how it was for me when
I started this and even now, just
337
00:23:45.880 --> 00:23:49.640
creating these new videos. I'm seeing
them that happening. So I'm posting a
338
00:23:49.720 --> 00:23:55.519
video and a few days later it's
getting rotated into these product pages and people
339
00:23:55.559 --> 00:23:59.559
are clicking on them and I'm getting
compensated for it. So it's pretty it's
340
00:23:59.559 --> 00:24:03.519
pretty well. What's up, MONTY
WEAVER? I see see Monte Weaver in
341
00:24:03.599 --> 00:24:07.480
the chat there. She said what's
up? Creating daily just talking about Amazon,
342
00:24:07.559 --> 00:24:11.559
live brand deals, live selling,
having some fun. I'm super,
343
00:24:11.880 --> 00:24:15.599
super focused on it right now and
it was nice to get back to the
344
00:24:15.680 --> 00:24:21.759
states where I had like toads of
stuff like this is, I don't know,
345
00:24:21.960 --> 00:24:25.200
like a bunch of stuff, and
then I was selling some stuff and
346
00:24:25.319 --> 00:24:26.680
here's where you get to. We
know, when you get into this,
347
00:24:26.920 --> 00:24:30.440
is you're like, Oh, you
know what, I'm gonna sell that camera
348
00:24:30.640 --> 00:24:33.599
me still those three lenses in,
and I look at my shoppa bulls page
349
00:24:33.680 --> 00:24:37.240
or my live stream page here or
my whatever it's called, my creator page
350
00:24:37.279 --> 00:24:40.640
on Amazon, I'm like, Oh
wait, I didn't do I didn't do
351
00:24:40.720 --> 00:24:45.400
shoppa bull so I literally sold a
camera to somebody and I was like Hey,
352
00:24:45.640 --> 00:24:48.359
I'm sorry, I'm gonna ship it. I'm Gonnah, it is a
353
00:24:48.440 --> 00:24:51.079
daylight because I got to do something. I get to do a video for
354
00:24:51.240 --> 00:24:55.240
it or whatever. So anyway,
but it's anything in your house, it's
355
00:24:55.359 --> 00:24:57.799
anything that you use. And I
mean dude, probably one of the careators
356
00:24:57.839 --> 00:25:03.160
I follow that make the most amount
of money that they've publicly posted, is
357
00:25:03.240 --> 00:25:07.039
someone who literally goes in their garage
and like check out this drill. It
358
00:25:07.200 --> 00:25:12.279
does good. It's like not even
that well produced. I mean, no,
359
00:25:12.599 --> 00:25:17.160
no, you know, not throwing
rocks anybody, because you know my
360
00:25:17.279 --> 00:25:22.039
stuff isn't either. Like I'm I'm
doing it quick, but it's literally with
361
00:25:22.279 --> 00:25:26.839
their phone, check out this drill
in you know, it works great.
362
00:25:26.839 --> 00:25:30.920
I've had it for years. It's
awesome. Totally recommend it. So it's
363
00:25:32.079 --> 00:25:37.839
that easy, which doesn't make any
sense. And I see I see dial
364
00:25:37.960 --> 00:25:41.799
casters over here says what's good brand
deal? Goat monty weaver, billy got
365
00:25:41.880 --> 00:25:45.400
that itch? Yeah, I do, I do have that itch. I
366
00:25:45.519 --> 00:25:48.200
am, I am, I'm filling
it. And you know, when I
367
00:25:48.279 --> 00:25:51.160
was in Puerto Rico I didn't have
any products. So that was the problem
368
00:25:51.960 --> 00:25:53.759
and I try to do I did
do a brand deal, actually somebody that
369
00:25:53.880 --> 00:25:59.039
monty set me up with, and
they sent it and I had it sent
370
00:25:59.200 --> 00:26:00.240
to me. They sent it to
a friend of mine. I had a
371
00:26:00.319 --> 00:26:03.880
sent to me and just cost so
much to get it shipped to me.
372
00:26:04.000 --> 00:26:07.000
Songs like, man, I can't
do that. But now I'm back in
373
00:26:07.039 --> 00:26:11.000
the states. I got stuff on
the way, working with some brands,
374
00:26:11.119 --> 00:26:15.920
working with some product manufacturing companies,
and it has been a lot of fun.
375
00:26:15.160 --> 00:26:21.119
So over the next couple of weeks
I am strategizing, you know,
376
00:26:21.279 --> 00:26:27.240
creating daily. I'm strategizing the Amazon
live, the PODCAST, Youtube Channel and
377
00:26:27.480 --> 00:26:30.839
trying to figure out how to make
this whole ecosystem kind of work together.
378
00:26:32.519 --> 00:26:36.400
Part of that is Chris Stones Fault. If that's Chris representing dial casters right
379
00:26:36.440 --> 00:26:40.920
now, because he came on my
show and he said, you know how
380
00:26:41.119 --> 00:26:44.359
you know, like you could off
camera. was like, basically a man,
381
00:26:44.599 --> 00:26:47.160
why are you not doing this on
Amazon live every day as well?
382
00:26:48.039 --> 00:26:51.720
There's big opportunity and I was thinking
about it the wrong way. I was
383
00:26:51.799 --> 00:26:53.920
thinking about it like hey, guys, Billy Thorpe here and I got the
384
00:26:55.079 --> 00:26:56.279
phone holder of the lifetime. You're
not gonna want to miss it right now.
385
00:26:56.319 --> 00:27:00.319
For One thousand nine hundred and ninety, you know whatever, of which
386
00:27:00.400 --> 00:27:02.680
that is kind of my personality,
like I kind of do love that.
387
00:27:02.920 --> 00:27:04.559
That cheesy. You know, I'd
wear a wig and a hat and everything
388
00:27:04.599 --> 00:27:10.480
if I could and really have a
lot of fun. But so I'm trying
389
00:27:10.480 --> 00:27:15.039
to figure out how to implement it
in a tasteful way or create a whole
390
00:27:15.079 --> 00:27:18.200
new show or you know whatnot.
So a lot of brainstorm and going on
391
00:27:18.480 --> 00:27:21.920
in my in my mind. So
if any other creators are watching this and
392
00:27:22.000 --> 00:27:22.799
go hey, I got an idea
for you. Want you try this,
393
00:27:23.799 --> 00:27:29.640
I will do it. But right
now I'm mostly focused on shoppable videos.
394
00:27:29.759 --> 00:27:34.880
I think that's where, you know, majority of the long term hands off
395
00:27:36.119 --> 00:27:37.599
money is. I'm not going to
say passive. I don't think anything is
396
00:27:37.640 --> 00:27:41.480
super passive. I think you still
have to manage it and pay attention to
397
00:27:41.640 --> 00:27:45.119
it. Maybe you Redo it if
it's not converting. You know, I
398
00:27:45.240 --> 00:27:48.640
think all that kind of stuff.
But yeah, I'm having a lot of
399
00:27:48.720 --> 00:27:51.359
fun, if you haven't noticed,
and I got a new studio space here,
400
00:27:51.559 --> 00:27:52.720
so that's been a lot of fun. So I got plenty of room
401
00:27:53.559 --> 00:27:59.079
getting ready to to put I got
I get this desk. It's got castors
402
00:27:59.160 --> 00:28:02.400
on it, so I'm getting ready
to mount everything to it and I get
403
00:28:02.440 --> 00:28:06.279
the sweet battery packs thing coming to
so I'm going to know, I'm going
404
00:28:06.359 --> 00:28:07.839
to power it up, make it
mobile so I can just push it around
405
00:28:07.920 --> 00:28:12.359
and do multiple different things. So
it's a ton of fun. I've been
406
00:28:12.440 --> 00:28:15.720
having a lot of fun with it. I think there's a lot of opportunity
407
00:28:15.759 --> 00:28:18.799
and live selling and, like I
said, this is one platform and there's
408
00:28:18.079 --> 00:28:22.200
other platforms that are coming out.
You Know Ebay, I just mentioned that
409
00:28:22.559 --> 00:28:25.799
that they announced today, I believe
it was today, that they are going
410
00:28:25.839 --> 00:28:27.680
to get into the game. I
think Walmart's mentioned they're going to get into
411
00:28:27.720 --> 00:28:30.319
the game. So you could do
it. You can do it in a
412
00:28:30.359 --> 00:28:33.880
fun way and I know when I
know, when people think of live selling
413
00:28:33.039 --> 00:28:36.880
or selling in general, you know, there's like, Oh man, I
414
00:28:36.920 --> 00:28:40.680
don't want to sell anything like this
is crazy. But think about this,
415
00:28:40.839 --> 00:28:45.920
like you're not really selling anything.
You're literally making recommendations of stuff that you
416
00:28:45.160 --> 00:28:51.200
already use, that you already you
know love, you already know, you
417
00:28:51.640 --> 00:28:55.480
already recommend to your friends. You're
already telling your friends about the camera that
418
00:28:55.559 --> 00:28:59.440
you use or the lights that you
use or the or the interface that you
419
00:28:59.640 --> 00:29:03.839
use. You're already making these recommendations. So why not, you know,
420
00:29:04.440 --> 00:29:10.720
put them all into video form and
have them live on Amazon live and have
421
00:29:10.839 --> 00:29:15.039
them live on other platforms and send
people there and say hey, you go
422
00:29:15.279 --> 00:29:18.039
check this out and then get paid. And it's, like I said,
423
00:29:18.079 --> 00:29:21.279
it's short form so they don't have
to go watch a twenty five minute video
424
00:29:21.880 --> 00:29:25.880
of me talking about the Cannan USRP. Like I literally have a three minute
425
00:29:25.880 --> 00:29:29.880
eleven second video of talking about how
I used it, why I liked it,
426
00:29:30.640 --> 00:29:33.240
what I didn't like about it,
all those kinds of things, and
427
00:29:33.319 --> 00:29:36.079
I'm sending it. You know,
that's it. And then I sent it
428
00:29:36.160 --> 00:29:38.319
and we'll see what it does.
We'll see how it converts. But that
429
00:29:38.599 --> 00:29:41.400
is basically it. I just want
to let you know what I was up
430
00:29:41.440 --> 00:29:44.200
to. I know people, a
lot of people, are like, Hey,
431
00:29:44.200 --> 00:29:47.680
you're going to start doing daily again, and I'm working on it.
432
00:29:47.759 --> 00:29:51.039
Okay, it's not because I don't
want to. But am I creating daily?
433
00:29:51.200 --> 00:29:55.799
You better believe. I mean creating
product videos like crazy. I think
434
00:29:55.839 --> 00:29:59.759
it created twelve in the last three
or four days. So it's been a
435
00:30:00.119 --> 00:30:03.400
of fun and I'm getting to do
for more today. That's the goal.
436
00:30:03.079 --> 00:30:07.599
And I'm still doing podcasting. I'm
still you doing brand sponsorship. Do you
437
00:30:07.640 --> 00:30:11.279
know brand deal? Sponsorship deals over
there? I'm still doing a membership for
438
00:30:11.400 --> 00:30:17.160
my podcast. So this is just
another stream of revenue. So you know,
439
00:30:17.240 --> 00:30:19.440
I think any business owner, any
smart business owner, it's going to
440
00:30:19.519 --> 00:30:23.160
have multiple streams of revenue. You
don't, I always say it like this,
441
00:30:23.319 --> 00:30:30.119
you don't really walk into Walmart or
a big box store somewhere and they
442
00:30:30.200 --> 00:30:33.519
go, Oh, you know what, we still this one tshirt and that's
443
00:30:33.559 --> 00:30:36.359
it. And they get this big
little store with one tshirt with a light
444
00:30:36.480 --> 00:30:37.440
on it and say, if you
don't want that, too bad, we
445
00:30:37.480 --> 00:30:42.000
don't have anything for you. They
figure out what people are consuming and what
446
00:30:42.119 --> 00:30:45.920
they can serve them with and what
services and products, and so it's the
447
00:30:47.000 --> 00:30:49.720
same in our creator journey. If
we want to monetize, sometimes we get
448
00:30:49.759 --> 00:30:52.200
to look and say, okay,
what is it that we can offer?
449
00:30:52.480 --> 00:30:59.960
Is it our expertise or our opinion
about products on Amazon? Is it you
450
00:31:00.039 --> 00:31:04.319
know? Is it coaching? Is
it's consulting, like, what is it
451
00:31:04.440 --> 00:31:08.640
that we can do as content creators
to do what we want to do,
452
00:31:08.839 --> 00:31:11.920
which is create content, be in
front of our camera, be in front
453
00:31:11.920 --> 00:31:17.279
of our microphone and helping other people? So, Mario Gears is how to
454
00:31:17.359 --> 00:31:19.799
billy. Did you make the move
back to the states yet? Absolutely,
455
00:31:19.880 --> 00:31:23.480
Mario. Appreciate you jumping in a
man. I did. We've been back
456
00:31:23.759 --> 00:31:27.960
for two three weeks. Three weeks, almost a month. I think two
457
00:31:29.000 --> 00:31:30.359
days will actually be a Mont.
Two or three days will be a month.
458
00:31:32.599 --> 00:31:34.599
And we get we got home,
we got sick, the whole family
459
00:31:34.680 --> 00:31:41.640
got wiped out. Then I think
we're better for like a week and then
460
00:31:41.680 --> 00:31:45.920
we has a family come in and
then during that family week, my dat,
461
00:31:47.039 --> 00:31:51.200
my wife and my son got sick. So yeah, that was crazy.
462
00:31:51.319 --> 00:31:56.000
So this has been like the first
real week that we've all not been
463
00:31:56.119 --> 00:32:00.440
sick that we have been working and
getting back into our routine and it's pretty
464
00:32:00.480 --> 00:32:06.240
tough and really, living in the
states versus living on an island, life
465
00:32:06.319 --> 00:32:09.640
is much busier. For whatever reason. You know you're you're just doing more
466
00:32:09.720 --> 00:32:14.359
stuff, more opportunities, more social
life, all that kind of fun stuff.
467
00:32:14.440 --> 00:32:17.640
So we are we are working our
way back into into you know,
468
00:32:19.279 --> 00:32:22.559
normal, normal life, I guess
we'll call it. But yeah, it's
469
00:32:22.559 --> 00:32:25.240
been a lot of fun and it
was great journey and Puerto Rico is an
470
00:32:25.240 --> 00:32:29.960
amazing journey, which I need to
actually do a video all about that because
471
00:32:29.960 --> 00:32:31.960
I think there's a lot of life
lessons. You know, not only die,
472
00:32:32.000 --> 00:32:36.920
I lose sixty pound. I left
sixty pounds on that island, but
473
00:32:37.000 --> 00:32:40.319
I learned a lot about perseverance and
learn a lot about commitment. I learned
474
00:32:40.319 --> 00:32:45.359
a lot about being uncomfortable. I've
learned a lot. I learned a ton
475
00:32:45.400 --> 00:32:49.799
of stuff that I need to I
need to like share it, document it,
476
00:32:50.680 --> 00:32:54.200
not only for you guys, my
friends, family, community all that,
477
00:32:54.359 --> 00:32:58.279
but really just for myself so I
can get back and be reminded of
478
00:32:58.400 --> 00:33:01.640
the journey and what it meant to
a US in our family. So anyway,
479
00:33:01.880 --> 00:33:05.279
it was. It was fun.
It was a lot of fun,
480
00:33:05.960 --> 00:33:08.359
as you can imagine. But yeah, now we're back and rock and rolling.
481
00:33:08.480 --> 00:33:13.599
So montey weaver says congrats. Thank
you, monty. I'm excited to
482
00:33:13.640 --> 00:33:15.880
be back. So let me know
what events are going on around you,
483
00:33:15.960 --> 00:33:17.880
guys, if there's live stream events
or podcast events. I didn't get to
484
00:33:17.920 --> 00:33:22.119
go to anything last year, not
because I couldn't, but I just wanted
485
00:33:22.160 --> 00:33:27.440
to, you know, be there
and be present in those moments that that
486
00:33:27.559 --> 00:33:30.319
I was there. So so it
was good. But now now we're back
487
00:33:30.720 --> 00:33:34.519
and have a little bit more options. So, but all right, guys.
488
00:33:34.599 --> 00:33:37.200
Well, that is that's it for
me. You know, hopefully this
489
00:33:37.279 --> 00:33:40.519
has been thirty three minutes or whatever
of you know really inspiring you as a
490
00:33:40.559 --> 00:33:45.079
content creator that there is monetization to
be made, there's money to be made,
491
00:33:45.119 --> 00:33:49.839
there's monetization strategies to be put together
and it's literally just taking action.
492
00:33:50.000 --> 00:33:52.599
So you might be really, really
early on in the process where you're like,
493
00:33:52.640 --> 00:33:55.799
okay, I need to grow social
media account, I need to get
494
00:33:55.880 --> 00:34:02.200
qualified to get an Amazon live account, become an Amazon live creator, you
495
00:34:02.319 --> 00:34:05.960
know, and go work on that, like make that your goal and I
496
00:34:06.039 --> 00:34:08.239
had to do this like when I
first started this journey, when Monty and
497
00:34:08.360 --> 00:34:13.039
Chris Giles want to we were Christ
Joss told me about Amazon live and I
498
00:34:13.079 --> 00:34:15.199
started seeing them postal, you know, like we're on Amazon, check this
499
00:34:15.280 --> 00:34:20.199
out live selling. I'm like what
is that? And so I literally spent
500
00:34:21.159 --> 00:34:27.239
like months, like three or four
months, just focused on growing my instagram
501
00:34:27.679 --> 00:34:30.039
to enough to get it to where, you know, I would qualify for
502
00:34:30.199 --> 00:34:35.800
that. So Mario Gear says I'm
doing a clubhouse talk about Tesla cyber truck
503
00:34:35.840 --> 00:34:40.199
at three PM pst today. That's
cool, man, that's awesome. Maybe
504
00:34:40.800 --> 00:34:45.599
maybe should do it. And they
saw this on Amazon call call of Tesla.
505
00:34:45.639 --> 00:34:49.599
So if you can get a tesla
cyber truck and see if you can
506
00:34:49.760 --> 00:34:52.719
get paid for doing that. But
all right, guys, with that to
507
00:34:52.760 --> 00:34:55.440
see it from me. I really
appreciate you joining the live show. I'll
508
00:34:55.519 --> 00:35:00.760
be back, hopefully tomorrow. Tomorrow, Tomorrow. And monty asked me about
509
00:35:00.760 --> 00:35:02.559
Prime Da. I've been trying to
get Monty, I know he's been under
510
00:35:02.559 --> 00:35:07.440
the weather a little bit, and
in Chris Giles, to come on and
511
00:35:07.519 --> 00:35:10.480
talking about how are they prepping for
Prime Day or prime days? I guess
512
00:35:10.519 --> 00:35:15.559
there's two prime days and maybe we
can get them on in the next couple
513
00:35:15.840 --> 00:35:19.880
you know, next week or so, to see what's up with that,
514
00:35:20.119 --> 00:35:22.920
because I don't even really know how
to prepare for Prime Day. It's an
515
00:35:22.920 --> 00:35:27.480
Amazon Creator. I've been an Amazon
Creator during a Prime Day, but I
516
00:35:27.559 --> 00:35:30.280
didn't do anything with it, which
was just silly. But anyway, that's
517
00:35:30.320 --> 00:35:34.000
another story for another day and if
you're interested in that, be sure to
518
00:35:34.000 --> 00:35:37.760
follow the channel. If you're watching
on youtube or facebook or wherever, go

520
00:35:42.360 --> 00:35:44.360
