  Speaker 2: All right, guys, Welcome back E y L.
• 1:01
  Speaker 3: Virtual Addition the first of the sorts, and this is
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: a very very special reason special episode for a couple
• 1:09
  Speaker 3: of different reasons. A it's the first time that we're
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: actually going virtual. We in the age of social distancing,
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: so we are adapting to the times like everybody else's
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: and b it's something that we haven't covered yet, and
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: I think it's perfect timing because we try to facilitate
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: requests for industries and also for individuals as well when
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: we can, and this one is actually one of the
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: top requested for individuals and industries. So yeah, it's crazy.
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: So Amazon FBA is huge. There's there's tons thousands of
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: sellers on Amazon, and what FBA stands for is fulfilled
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: by Amazon. So it's the whole industry of people that
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: work as middleman, for lack of a better way, work
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: to buy products and then sell it on Amazon. But
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: they don't keep any merchandise or any products on them
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: because it's all shipped from different locations to Amazon's warehouses.
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: They have over one hundred warehouses and throughout the America
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: and all over the world, and then it's shipped to
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: the actual people that buy it. So it's a very
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: interesting business model. So that's something I actually learned about
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: very recently, and it's very lucrative. I found out so
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: people he was asking for us to cover it, and
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: then people was asking for Joshua and Chris. I kept
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: handing his name I went to mister Graham. He got
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: Lamborghinis and helicopters and all kinds of stuff. Rolexes. Yeah,
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: he's living a life. So you know, it was just
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: a perfect match. So we reached out to him and
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: he was real, real cool about it. He said, yeah,
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: I come on, So without further ado, Josh, pleasure to
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: have you.
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: Can I call you Josh? Is that cool? Joshua was Josh, Yeah.
• 2:58
  Speaker 4: Josh is cool. I appreciate you, my brothers man, for
• 3:00
  Speaker 4: having me. It's an honor, man, and it's a blessing
• 3:03
  Speaker 4: to be a blessing. So I'm ready to get started, man,
• 3:05
  Speaker 4: help as many people as we can.
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: So let's start at the beginning, because we'd like to
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: tell the backstory before we actually get into the business model,
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: because I think it's important for people to understand who
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: these people are that we actually bring on the podcast.
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: And as I said, you're interesting because if somebody looks
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: on your social media page now, they see all of
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: the trappings of success, the jury, the Lamborghini, the you know,
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: trips to Brazil. But it wasn't always like that. And
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: I know I was watching some of your YouTube clips
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: and you were saying that you come from humble beginnings.
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: He was actually working I believe, like the overnight.
• 3:38
  Speaker 5: Shit seven seven figures man.
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: Yeah, h making seven hundred and seven dollars and twenty
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: five cents an hour overnight, pretty much shorting trash. So
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: you know, it's crazy that you went from that to
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: becoming a millionaire in a very short period of time.
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: So can we get.
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: Into the backstory of how you got to this point
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: and what really introduced you to Amazon seller?
• 4:01
  Speaker 4: Yeah? Absolutely, So, like we were just talking about, people
• 4:03
  Speaker 4: see the shine, but they don't see the grind, and
• 4:06
  Speaker 4: it hurt. Like I felt the anxiety as you were
• 4:08
  Speaker 4: talking about it because I remember vividly. The reason why
• 4:12
  Speaker 4: I go so hard today is because I remember vividly
• 4:14
  Speaker 4: sleeping on that air mattress in that one bedroom apartment,
• 4:17
  Speaker 4: you know, volunteering at the Salvation Army for for can
• 4:21
  Speaker 4: goods and for bread for my family, and you know,
• 4:23
  Speaker 4: volunteering at the Center Township, literally pressure washing gum off
• 4:27
  Speaker 4: the sidewalk at the Center Hall for vouchers to pay
• 4:30
  Speaker 4: my rent. So, like, I get a little anxiety when
• 4:33
  Speaker 4: you talk about it because I remember that, and I
• 4:34
  Speaker 4: always made a vow to myself I would never forget
• 4:37
  Speaker 4: where I was. That way, when I get where I
• 4:39
  Speaker 4: am that I always be grateful and humble. So it's
• 4:41
  Speaker 4: just like bringing that back is like flashback, like a
• 4:44
  Speaker 4: little PTSD but back in the day, Like I always
• 4:47
  Speaker 4: had a like a hustle ambition about me. Like even
• 4:50
  Speaker 4: when I was young and in school, I used to
• 4:52
  Speaker 4: hustle candy, chips, little bags and chips, all types of
• 4:55
  Speaker 4: stuff to just hustle coming up from you know where
• 4:57
  Speaker 4: I was at and the way that I came up,
• 5:00
  Speaker 4: and I just always loved hustling, Like I was selling
• 5:02
  Speaker 4: baseball cards, candy, like anything right, and where I was at,
• 5:08
  Speaker 4: you know, I was around the wrong crowd and stuff.
• 5:10
  Speaker 4: And back then there's not much that you could do
• 5:12
  Speaker 4: to make money. So I was always trying to find
• 5:14
  Speaker 4: ways to make money, and I was around the wrong crowd,
• 5:17
  Speaker 4: and you know, I ended up even felling at the
• 5:19
  Speaker 4: age of eighteen, like I was a high school dropout.
• 5:22
  Speaker 4: I was raised by a single mother at the time
• 5:24
  Speaker 4: we were struggling. I was like my mind wasn't on school.
• 5:27
  Speaker 4: It was on like how can I help my mom out?
• 5:28
  Speaker 4: How can I provide? So you know, I ended up
• 5:31
  Speaker 4: making some wrong decisions and you know, becoming a fellon
• 5:34
  Speaker 4: at an early age and had multiple children. So I
• 5:37
  Speaker 4: say that to say, like I had nothing else that
• 5:39
  Speaker 4: I could do. So at that age, I was working
• 5:41
  Speaker 4: for a temp agent called Spartan Staffing for a company
• 5:45
  Speaker 4: called Finitech and I would literally handstort through trash for
• 5:48
  Speaker 4: bare minimum wage. That's why, like if you guys see
• 5:50
  Speaker 4: like the podcast or the YouTube, it's the story of
• 5:53
  Speaker 4: seven twenty five to seven figures. I was literally making
• 5:55
  Speaker 4: minimum wage. And I met my wife who we went
• 5:58
  Speaker 4: to school with, but we really did know each other
• 6:00
  Speaker 4: in school. And I met my wife through a mutual
• 6:02
  Speaker 4: friend and I would go to pick her up and
• 6:04
  Speaker 4: just go to see her on her lunch. And her
• 6:07
  Speaker 4: boss was an older gentleman right, and he was always
• 6:10
  Speaker 4: reading old school, just always reading the newspaper, always online,
• 6:13
  Speaker 4: just reading news articles. And I would just explain to
• 6:16
  Speaker 4: him like yo, like I want to own a business
• 6:17
  Speaker 4: like you, and I want to be able, like this
• 6:19
  Speaker 4: is where I'm at, and I know that you know,
• 6:21
  Speaker 4: my current situation, you know, doesn't have to be my
• 6:24
  Speaker 4: final destination. I want to do something like you, like
• 6:26
  Speaker 4: own a business. So he ended up being like my
• 6:28
  Speaker 4: first mentor. I didn't even know what a mentor. I
• 6:30
  Speaker 4: was like, he's an old head. He's got a business.
• 6:32
  Speaker 4: Even though he's not rich, he doesn't have to work
• 6:34
  Speaker 4: for someone else. So I was always talking to him,
• 6:37
  Speaker 4: and he was always reading the newspaper, and he was
• 6:39
  Speaker 4: talking about Amazon, like I think e commerce is the
• 6:42
  Speaker 4: new wave of the future. This is in twenty fourteen,
• 6:44
  Speaker 4: so this is like six years ago. And he was
• 6:47
  Speaker 4: talking about Jeff Bezos and what he was doing and
• 6:49
  Speaker 4: how he thinks this is going to be the wave.
• 6:52
  Speaker 4: And he was just always just putting it in my ear.
• 6:54
  Speaker 4: And you know how I was trying to do so
• 6:56
  Speaker 4: many different things, trying to do all these side hustles
• 6:58
  Speaker 4: and stuff to make money because I was working third
• 7:00
  Speaker 4: shift seven pm to three am. I didn't get to
• 7:02
  Speaker 4: see my family. So I was trying to hustle stuff.
• 7:04
  Speaker 4: I was selling clothing, I was cutting grass, I was
• 7:07
  Speaker 4: doing whatever, like I tried to start a long care company,
• 7:10
  Speaker 4: like anything I could do, just to hustle to make
• 7:12
  Speaker 4: some money. That's all I knew. And he told me
• 7:14
  Speaker 4: about this Amazon thing, and I really dived in. Like
• 7:16
  Speaker 4: I didn't even have a computer. I would walk to
• 7:18
  Speaker 4: the library to do research and the rest is history.
• 7:21
  Speaker 4: Like I learned about Amazon, I tried, I tried, I tried,
• 7:25
  Speaker 4: I kept failing, And after the three failed products, the
• 7:28
  Speaker 4: fourth one was a home run product. It changed my life.
• 7:32
  Speaker 4: So that's like a whole, like three years story, like
• 7:35
  Speaker 4: in like five minutes, but that's how it started. Man.
• 7:38
  Speaker 6: Now, Josh, I've been an Amazon member for about that time.
• 7:41
  Speaker 6: But what turned you on to the FBA side of it?
• 7:44
  Speaker 4: So the FBA side of it, fulfillment by Amazon is
• 7:47
  Speaker 4: what FBA is is one of the best ways that,
• 7:50
  Speaker 4: in my personal opinion, you can sell on Amazon. So
• 7:52
  Speaker 4: there's a few different types of ways to sell on Amazon.
• 7:55
  Speaker 4: I'm glad you asked that question. Like I previously said,
• 7:57
  Speaker 4: I was hustling stuff. So when I was going going
• 8:00
  Speaker 4: online trying to find ways to make money, I found
• 8:02
  Speaker 4: out about arbitrage, which is another way you can sell online,
• 8:05
  Speaker 4: which is where you take brand name products that already exist,
• 8:08
  Speaker 4: large brand name products, you buy them at a discounted price.
• 8:12
  Speaker 4: So if they're on sale or they're at the thrift
• 8:15
  Speaker 4: store or something like that, and they're below MSRP, which
• 8:17
  Speaker 4: is manufactured suggested retail pricing, you buy it at that
• 8:21
  Speaker 4: discount and you sell it at full price and you
• 8:23
  Speaker 4: keep the difference. So I was already doing that. I
• 8:25
  Speaker 4: was taking my little bit of money and I was
• 8:27
  Speaker 4: going to the Salvation Army and trying to find designer clothing,
• 8:30
  Speaker 4: and I was reselling it on eBay for that full markup.
• 8:33
  Speaker 4: And I was doing the same with Amazon. I was
• 8:35
  Speaker 4: trying to find stuff online discounts coupons and buy it
• 8:39
  Speaker 4: on sale and sell it at full price and keep
• 8:41
  Speaker 4: the difference. So when he told me about Amazon and
• 8:43
  Speaker 4: I started researching and learning about Amazon, I learned about arbitrage,
• 8:47
  Speaker 4: and I knew that you could do it on Amazon.
• 8:49
  Speaker 4: But that was like a hustle. I wanted a real
• 8:52
  Speaker 4: business that was going to work for me, because my
• 8:53
  Speaker 4: mentor always told me that the true key to success
• 8:56
  Speaker 4: is to have your money work for you without you
• 8:58
  Speaker 4: working for it. Like he told me, like, you got
• 9:01
  Speaker 4: to eliminate the hustle mentality, like, of course you got
• 9:03
  Speaker 4: to hustle to get things started, but the end you
• 9:07
  Speaker 4: should have the end in mind in the beginning, and
• 9:08
  Speaker 4: the end is to have your business work for you
• 9:10
  Speaker 4: without you working for it. He was always telling me
• 9:13
  Speaker 4: about less touches and to work on your business, not
• 9:16
  Speaker 4: for your business. So when I was looking at these
• 9:18
  Speaker 4: different methods, I was like, I'm already doing this and
• 9:20
  Speaker 4: I'm still hustling stuff and it's not sustainable. Like at
• 9:23
  Speaker 4: that time, I didn't know what sustainable was. But he
• 9:25
  Speaker 4: would break things down to me, like, you need something
• 9:27
  Speaker 4: that you can sell over and over and over again.
• 9:29
  Speaker 4: What you're doing is making you some fast cash. But
• 9:32
  Speaker 4: you can't find these clothes on sale. You can't find
• 9:35
  Speaker 4: these products on sale all the time. So when looking
• 9:38
  Speaker 4: at these different methods and stuff in business, I said,
• 9:40
  Speaker 4: you know what, like the light really the light bulb
• 9:43
  Speaker 4: really went off. I'm like these large brands like beat
• 9:45
  Speaker 4: by Dre or Apple, these large brands are finding products
• 9:48
  Speaker 4: that have demand that people need that they're buying every
• 9:51
  Speaker 4: single day, irregardless of the day, the month, the age,
• 9:55
  Speaker 4: the gender, and they're using Amazon to sell it. Right.
• 9:59
  Speaker 4: They don't need a physical store. You you don't need
• 10:01
  Speaker 4: to do this. You don't need to make some special product.
• 10:03
  Speaker 4: And there's products that people are gonna continuously need. So
• 10:05
  Speaker 4: that's when I learned the difference between the two and
• 10:07
  Speaker 4: I dove in to FBA, which is private label, so
• 10:10
  Speaker 4: you can sell on Amazon arbitrage, private label, or wholesale.
• 10:14
  Speaker 4: These are different business strategies, but the strategy that I
• 10:18
  Speaker 4: actually sell right the business model is called private labeling.
• 10:21
  Speaker 4: So instead of selling other people's products, large brand name products,
• 10:25
  Speaker 4: we find products that people want that have high demand,
• 10:28
  Speaker 4: low competition, and we create our own brands and then
• 10:31
  Speaker 4: we sell them. So that's what I specifically do for sure.
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: So can we get into it the basic basic ground
• 10:38
  Speaker 3: level one oh one explanation of what is FBI. I
• 10:41
  Speaker 3: understand that you're selling and its fulfilled by Amazon. You
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: sell of Amazon, but what does it actually entail? Can
• 10:47
  Speaker 3: you give the one oh one on the situation?
• 10:50
  Speaker 4: Yeah? Yeah, So FBA is fulfillment by Amazon. And this
• 10:52
  Speaker 4: is how to hold. Like a bird's eye view looking down,
• 10:55
  Speaker 4: this is a hold how the whole business works. So
• 10:57
  Speaker 4: we find these products. Once we find these products, we're
• 11:00
  Speaker 4: going to find a supplier, rather in the US or overseas,
• 11:04
  Speaker 4: doesn't matter where the supplier is at. The supplier is
• 11:06
  Speaker 4: going to make our product. Once that supplier makes our product,
• 11:09
  Speaker 4: they're gonna ship it directly to Amazon. And this is
• 11:12
  Speaker 4: where the FBA kicks and the fulfillment by Amazon. Once
• 11:14
  Speaker 4: Amazon receives that product in their warehouse, they're gonna facilitate it,
• 11:19
  Speaker 4: but then they're going to disperse it to other Amazon warehouses.
• 11:22
  Speaker 4: And that's how they can ship products, and it can
• 11:24
  Speaker 4: be Prime eligible, which like eighty percent high eighty percent
• 11:28
  Speaker 4: of everybody who shops on Amazon or Prime members, so
• 11:31
  Speaker 4: over one hundred and fifty million Prime members in the US.
• 11:34
  Speaker 4: And basically that means whenever we go online on Amazon
• 11:37
  Speaker 4: and shop, we get our products to our doorsteps in
• 11:39
  Speaker 4: two days. So Amazon facilitates it, disperses it to other
• 11:43
  Speaker 4: Amazon locations, and then when consumers people like me and you,
• 11:46
  Speaker 4: go buy products online, Amazon picks it, They pack it,
• 11:50
  Speaker 4: they wrap it, use their own boxes, their own labels,
• 11:53
  Speaker 4: their own workforce. You know, it's under their warehouse, and
• 11:56
  Speaker 4: then they ship it directly to customers. And if we
• 11:58
  Speaker 4: get it and we're like, yo, this isn't what we wanted,
• 12:01
  Speaker 4: or you know, it was warehouse damaged, or they just
• 12:04
  Speaker 4: decided they don't want it anymore. Amazon even handles the
• 12:07
  Speaker 4: customer service. So literally all we do is we find
• 12:09
  Speaker 4: the products, we find the supplier, and we manage our
• 12:12
  Speaker 4: inventory in our advertising, which is all done from the
• 12:15
  Speaker 4: seller central portal, which Amazon created, and that's like the
• 12:19
  Speaker 4: bird's eye view of how the whole system works.
• 12:21
  Speaker 3: So the products aren't like company products that actually just
• 12:25
  Speaker 3: random products and you're labeling it under your company. That's
• 12:29
  Speaker 3: kind of what I'm understanding. So can you give us
• 12:32
  Speaker 3: an example of, like what kind of products that would
• 12:35
  Speaker 3: entail for this?
• 12:35
  Speaker 4: Yeah? Absolutely, so I got I got like they're all
• 12:38
  Speaker 4: around the house. So this little lent roller like I've
• 12:40
  Speaker 4: just used before the interview to get the lint off
• 12:41
  Speaker 4: my shirt. We would find a product like this, like
• 12:44
  Speaker 4: there's no label on this anywhere, and let's just say
• 12:47
  Speaker 4: that there's a huge brand. Just because a huge brand
• 12:51
  Speaker 4: sells this product doesn't mean that we can't sell this product.
• 12:53
  Speaker 4: You just can't sell it as them if you're not
• 12:56
  Speaker 4: a licensee. So we would find a product that people
• 12:58
  Speaker 4: have a demand for, that people are going to use
• 13:00
  Speaker 4: every single day, irregardless of where they live, how old
• 13:03
  Speaker 4: they are, gender, et cetera. And then we would create
• 13:07
  Speaker 4: our own brand, so now it would be private labeled
• 13:10
  Speaker 4: by our brand. We would put our brand on it,
• 13:12
  Speaker 4: we would ship it directly to Amazon and they do
• 13:14
  Speaker 4: the rest. See what like a lot of people don't know,
• 13:16
  Speaker 4: Like when you think of like when you need to
• 13:18
  Speaker 4: blow your nose, you say, hey, can you pass me
• 13:20
  Speaker 4: that Kleenex? Right? Kleenex is a brand. The name of
• 13:22
  Speaker 4: the product is tissue, right, So that and that's like
• 13:26
  Speaker 4: brand note a writing. That's what we do is we
• 13:28
  Speaker 4: try to become APEX predators for these different categories, saying
• 13:31
  Speaker 4: like when you get out the shower, use a Q tip, Right,
• 13:33
  Speaker 4: it's actually a cotton swab. Q Tip's the brand name.
• 13:36
  Speaker 4: It's a private label brand name. So we find these
• 13:39
  Speaker 4: products that people need and we try to become household names.
• 13:42
  Speaker 4: We just find ways to differentiate them and prove them
• 13:45
  Speaker 4: and to gain market share through differentiating the products. And
• 13:49
  Speaker 4: that's what we do.
• 13:50
  Speaker 6: So you put your logo on it, you put your
• 13:51
  Speaker 6: brand on it. But after that it comes to a
• 13:54
  Speaker 6: manufacturing standpoint, Like what's that process like?
• 13:56
  Speaker 4: So once we find a product, so first we want
• 13:59
  Speaker 4: to verify in validate the product before we even order it.
• 14:01
  Speaker 4: So a few things we do is make sure it's
• 14:03
  Speaker 4: not a seasonal product. So I don't know if y'all
• 14:06
  Speaker 4: got kids, but I got kids, and we had these
• 14:07
  Speaker 4: fidget spinner things all around the house. Right, that's a
• 14:10
  Speaker 4: trending product. It went up like this, and just as
• 14:13
  Speaker 4: quick as it went up, it knows dives. So once
• 14:15
  Speaker 4: we verify that it's not a trending product, we move
• 14:19
  Speaker 4: forward and you can go to Google Trends. It's a
• 14:21
  Speaker 4: free tool. Type in the name of your product and
• 14:23
  Speaker 4: you can look at a historical chart, so it'll show you, like,
• 14:26
  Speaker 4: for the last five years, ten years, has this product
• 14:29
  Speaker 4: been selling every day? So once you identify it's going
• 14:31
  Speaker 4: to sell every single day, because that's what we want.
• 14:33
  Speaker 4: We don't want to hit or miss. We want something
• 14:34
  Speaker 4: that's going to make money every single day. After we
• 14:37
  Speaker 4: knock out the trending, then we look at the seasonality
• 14:40
  Speaker 4: so we can go on Google Trends again. If it's
• 14:42
  Speaker 4: only selling towards October like pumpkin carving kit, or November
• 14:46
  Speaker 4: and December like Christmas lights, then it's a seasonal product.
• 14:50
  Speaker 4: We don't want that. We want January through December. So
• 14:52
  Speaker 4: after we do these little things to verify and validate
• 14:55
  Speaker 4: that product, we go to ali Baba, which is where
• 14:57
  Speaker 4: we find the suppliers. It's free to use ali Baba.
• 14:59
  Speaker 4: You don't need any type of special account nothing like that,
• 15:02
  Speaker 4: and we're gonna go and type in the name of
• 15:04
  Speaker 4: our product, so just we would type in lent roller
• 15:06
  Speaker 4: into ali Baba, it's gonna show all these manufacturers. We
• 15:09
  Speaker 4: want to reach out to the manufacturer and we want
• 15:11
  Speaker 4: to do our due diligence and make sure that they're
• 15:13
  Speaker 4: one hundred. So how long have they been in business,
• 15:16
  Speaker 4: how many employees do they have, what is their gross
• 15:18
  Speaker 4: annual revenue, how many star ratings do they have. Look
• 15:21
  Speaker 4: at them on Better Business Bureau and prevet them to
• 15:24
  Speaker 4: make sure that they're legit. And then that's where you
• 15:26
  Speaker 4: do your negotiating. Once you come to a conclusion on
• 15:29
  Speaker 4: the price, you guys agree on a price, you found
• 15:32
  Speaker 4: a manufacturer, you're gonna give them thirty percent down on
• 15:34
  Speaker 4: the product, so that starts and initiates the manufacturing. Once
• 15:38
  Speaker 4: the manufacturing's done, you pay the rest. Once you pay
• 15:42
  Speaker 4: the rest, they're gonna go ahead and ship the product
• 15:44
  Speaker 4: directly to Amazon, so they're gonna handle getting it through customs.
• 15:48
  Speaker 4: They're gonna find the freight forward or everything for you.
• 15:51
  Speaker 4: It's gonna be shipped directly overseas if you're using a
• 15:54
  Speaker 4: China supplier and be checked in by Amazon. If you're
• 15:57
  Speaker 4: using US supplier, then it's from the supplier's warehouse directly
• 16:00
  Speaker 4: to Amazon. Then Amazon checks it in and you go
• 16:03
  Speaker 4: back to that other process, right they pick it, packet,
• 16:05
  Speaker 4: ship it, handle returns.
• 16:07
  Speaker 6: So when you're in Google Trends, from what I read,
• 16:09
  Speaker 6: you want to find products that have high demand and
• 16:11
  Speaker 6: low competition. Is there a certain statistic or a metric
• 16:14
  Speaker 6: that you use when you're trying to find that.
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so we use.
• 16:17
  Speaker 4: Google Trends for seasonality and to see if it's a
• 16:20
  Speaker 4: trending product.
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: Can you explain what Google Trends are.
• 16:23
  Speaker 4: Yeah. So Google Trends is a website owned by Google.
• 16:26
  Speaker 4: It's a free tool owned by Google, and it's a
• 16:30
  Speaker 4: way to measure analytics on products. So if you go
• 16:33
  Speaker 4: to Google Trends, it's products, celebrities, countries. You can go
• 16:37
  Speaker 4: and type into anything and it's going to show you
• 16:39
  Speaker 4: like historical charts and analytics on that thing. If you
• 16:42
  Speaker 4: go to a movie, it'll show you when the movie
• 16:44
  Speaker 4: was created, how long the movie's been out, how many sales.
• 16:47
  Speaker 4: If you go and put a product in it, it'll
• 16:49
  Speaker 4: tell you the first time the product showed up, how
• 16:51
  Speaker 4: long it's been around, how many people on Google are
• 16:54
  Speaker 4: going to type for this product. And the reason why
• 16:56
  Speaker 4: we use Google Trends is because Amazon is a search
• 16:59
  Speaker 4: engine just like Google, and Google's the largest search engine.
• 17:02
  Speaker 4: So even though it's not Amazon direct metrics, it's very
• 17:06
  Speaker 4: similar and very close because Google is a huge search engine.
• 17:09
  Speaker 4: So we go and we find that data from Google Trends,
• 17:11
  Speaker 4: and that's how we find out, Hey, this products selling,
• 17:14
  Speaker 4: you know, twelve months out the year. This product has
• 17:17
  Speaker 4: depth of market, meaning it didn't just spike like the
• 17:20
  Speaker 4: fidget spinner. Like if you go and type this product
• 17:22
  Speaker 4: and you're going to see for the last ten years,
• 17:24
  Speaker 4: it's been selling every single day. It's been selling every
• 17:26
  Speaker 4: single month. So we want to see a nice horizontal
• 17:28
  Speaker 4: chart when we look for products that have high demand
• 17:31
  Speaker 4: low competition. There's no exact metric that's going to say like, hey,
• 17:34
  Speaker 4: this product has high demand, low competition. What we want
• 17:37
  Speaker 4: to look for is we want to go directly to
• 17:39
  Speaker 4: Amazon and type in the name of the product, and
• 17:41
  Speaker 4: when we're looking at all the different sellers, we want
• 17:43
  Speaker 4: to see how many of those sellers have under one
• 17:45
  Speaker 4: hundred reviews, have under two hundred reviews that are still selling.
• 17:49
  Speaker 4: You know, ten plus units a day. If you're selling
• 17:52
  Speaker 4: ten plus units a day, that's three hundred units a month.
• 17:54
  Speaker 4: So that's like the bare minimum metric I look for.
• 17:56
  Speaker 4: So that would equal low competition, and that's how we
• 17:58
  Speaker 4: identify if it has high dead man low competition. Right.
• 18:01
  Speaker 4: Another way is there's something called BSRO, which stands for
• 18:04
  Speaker 4: best seller Ranking. If you're on an Amazon listing and
• 18:07
  Speaker 4: you scroll down, you'll actually see category and then subcategory.
• 18:12
  Speaker 4: So category may be home products, subcategory may be lent roller, right,
• 18:16
  Speaker 4: and then it'll have a number next to it. That's
• 18:18
  Speaker 4: the BSR Bestseller Ranking. So that's based out of a
• 18:21
  Speaker 4: million out of let's just say there's a million sellers.
• 18:24
  Speaker 4: It's based out of all million sellers. So we look
• 18:27
  Speaker 4: at that listing and it's number ten. That's one of
• 18:29
  Speaker 4: the top selling products. So we'll look at that competitor.
• 18:32
  Speaker 4: We'll look at what they're selling, how many units they're selling,
• 18:35
  Speaker 4: to make, you know, to make a statement as to
• 18:39
  Speaker 4: does this product have high demand low competition.
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: So that's interesting. I just learned something.
• 18:43
  Speaker 3: So I was wondering what actually that meant to be
• 18:49
  Speaker 3: a private label, But that's really interesting. So the private
• 18:52
  Speaker 3: label is you pick a nondescript item like a lint roller,
• 18:57
  Speaker 3: which nobody really knows who makes lint rollers. So now
• 19:01
  Speaker 3: you put your private label on that, which is x
• 19:04
  Speaker 3: Y and Z lint rolling company. So you get the
• 19:06
  Speaker 3: lint rollers from China, some warehouse in China, and now
• 19:11
  Speaker 3: you actually brand it with your company, your logo whatever,
• 19:15
  Speaker 3: x Y and Z lint rollers. You put it on Amazon,
• 19:18
  Speaker 3: and then they buy it from Amazon, so you never
• 19:21
  Speaker 3: actually get receipt of the product. It goes to Amazon's
• 19:25
  Speaker 3: website directly from the warehouse.
• 19:28
  Speaker 4: We never touched it. It could be us, it could be
• 19:30
  Speaker 4: China where wherever, we never touch it.
• 19:32
  Speaker 3: And then when somebody goes to Amazon and types in
• 19:35
  Speaker 3: lint roller, your product shows up on the first page.
• 19:40
  Speaker 3: If you can make it to the first page, we'll
• 19:41
  Speaker 3: talk about that. And nobody ever cares like what the
• 19:45
  Speaker 3: company is that makes the lint roller. They usually just
• 19:49
  Speaker 3: go for like the lowest priced item, I think, or
• 19:52
  Speaker 3: you know, the best reviews or who has the most
• 19:53
  Speaker 3: star rating or whatever. And it's a variety of different
• 19:56
  Speaker 3: products like that, like lint rollers, those things that you
• 19:59
  Speaker 3: like stuff into your shoe to like form your shoe,
• 20:04
  Speaker 3: nail clippers. Like, there's all kinds of stuff that's just
• 20:07
  Speaker 3: really nondescript. A couple of weeks ago, even toilet paper,
• 20:11
  Speaker 3: when nobody could buy toilet paper. People's going on Amazon
• 20:13
  Speaker 3: and buy toilet paper. You're not really tripping off of
• 20:15
  Speaker 3: like it gotta be Sherman. It's like at this point,
• 20:18
  Speaker 3: you just get whatever you can get. So, now that
• 20:21
  Speaker 3: I'm thinking about it, the more and more I think
• 20:23
  Speaker 3: about it, I just think of different nondescript products. That
• 20:27
  Speaker 3: doesn't really matter what the name of it is because
• 20:31
  Speaker 3: nobody ever even knows the name of these products. It's interested.
• 20:34
  Speaker 3: I never thought about that before. So this is crazy.
• 20:37
  Speaker 3: So how much money can you actually make in this business?
• 20:40
  Speaker 3: Because now I'm actually interested? This is extremely interesting. How
• 20:44
  Speaker 3: much money can you make on average? I know it
• 20:45
  Speaker 3: probably varies, but on average, how much money can you make?
• 20:48
  Speaker 3: I'm interested?
• 20:48
  Speaker 4: Yeah, So what we recommend. What we recommend is nothing
• 20:52
  Speaker 4: less than thirty percent net profit margins. So net is
• 20:55
  Speaker 4: going to be after everything's said and done, gross would
• 20:58
  Speaker 4: be like the total number net is that heap that
• 21:00
  Speaker 4: number that you get to keep. So we like to
• 21:02
  Speaker 4: shoot for thirty as the minimum. Typically it's going to
• 21:06
  Speaker 4: be around forty to fifty percent, But it depends on
• 21:08
  Speaker 4: the product, depends on the time of the year. Towards
• 21:11
  Speaker 4: the end of the year, you know, price is going
• 21:13
  Speaker 4: to be a little bit higher, on logistics, on fulfillment fees,
• 21:15
  Speaker 4: just everything. But typically we like to see between thirty
• 21:18
  Speaker 4: and fifty percent profit margin. This is after we buy
• 21:21
  Speaker 4: our product, after which is the cog or cost of goods,
• 21:25
  Speaker 4: after we ship our product, which is logistics, after Amazon
• 21:28
  Speaker 4: stores our product, because we're paying fees, after we sell
• 21:32
  Speaker 4: a product, they pick it, they use everything. After everything's
• 21:35
  Speaker 4: said and done, we want to make thirty to fifty
• 21:37
  Speaker 4: percent profit. So if we're selling a product for twenty bucks,
• 21:40
  Speaker 4: we want to keep six dollars. And if you could
• 21:42
  Speaker 4: be around thirty three percent, which is right around that
• 21:45
  Speaker 4: bare minimum number, every three units you sell, you're doubling
• 21:48
  Speaker 4: your money. So that's how you can really, you know,
• 21:50
  Speaker 4: start to grow and scale.
• 21:52
  Speaker 6: Yeah, this is so crazy because for so long we've
• 21:53
  Speaker 6: been taught like having generic things is not the thing
• 21:56
  Speaker 6: to do, right, and this is a prime example of yes,
• 21:58
  Speaker 6: this could be a big business of having generic items. Well,
• 22:02
  Speaker 6: my question is what's Amazon's cut? Like, I know they
• 22:05
  Speaker 6: take a percentage. What's that cut in this deal?
• 22:07
  Speaker 4: Yeah, so it fluctuates. They're constantly changing like how much
• 22:10
  Speaker 4: they're charging in a reference to the referral fee, but
• 22:13
  Speaker 4: it's typically right around fifteen to twenty percent of the
• 22:17
  Speaker 4: product costs. So if you're selling the product for twenty bucks,
• 22:20
  Speaker 4: they're going to take you know, they're going to take
• 22:22
  Speaker 4: four bucks. But that's everything storing the product, shipping the product,
• 22:27
  Speaker 4: facilitating the products. That's the referral fee and everything. And
• 22:30
  Speaker 4: like I said, on top of their fee and the
• 22:34
  Speaker 4: product costs and the shipping and the advertising and everything else,
• 22:37
  Speaker 4: we still want to make that thirty to fifty percent
• 22:40
  Speaker 4: profit margin because we're going directly to the manufacturer. We're
• 22:44
  Speaker 4: not going to a middleman. We're not going to someone
• 22:46
  Speaker 4: who's wholesaling these products. We're not going and buying products
• 22:50
  Speaker 4: at a discounted rate. We're going directly to the place
• 22:53
  Speaker 4: where they manufacture it, where the large brands go. We're
• 22:56
  Speaker 4: going where Nike goes, We're going where beats by dre goes,
• 22:59
  Speaker 4: We're going with all the top guys go, and we're
• 23:01
  Speaker 4: getting it manufactured. So that's how we make our money,
• 23:04
  Speaker 4: and that's how we get our margin where it needs
• 23:06
  Speaker 4: to be.
• 23:06
  Speaker 3: That's interesting because I always kind of knew that the
• 23:10
  Speaker 3: money was in the non descript items. Because if you
• 23:12
  Speaker 3: think about it, like, let's take something like a refrigerator.
• 23:14
  Speaker 3: The average person might buy three, maybe four refrigerators, like
• 23:20
  Speaker 3: in their entire life, like life time, they might buy
• 23:22
  Speaker 3: four refrigerators in the entire life. Maybe not even that much.
• 23:25
  Speaker 3: But you pick something like a lint roller or you know,
• 23:31
  Speaker 3: Q tips things like that, that's reoccurrent. Yeah, it's reoccurrent thing.
• 23:35
  Speaker 3: You might buy one hundred lint rollers.
• 23:38
  Speaker 4: Hey, I gave you all this a secret sauce. This
• 23:40
  Speaker 4: is the secret sauce right here. The reason why a
• 23:42
  Speaker 4: perfect product let me let me just break this down.
• 23:45
  Speaker 4: So I like products that are lightweight. So there's two
• 23:48
  Speaker 4: different products. There's lightweight products, there's oversized products. So lightweight
• 23:52
  Speaker 4: products would be something like this. Oversized would be the
• 23:54
  Speaker 4: chair I'm sitting in. So lightweight products are cheaper to manufacturer,
• 23:58
  Speaker 4: cheaper ship ship, cheaper to facilitate number one. Number two,
• 24:02
  Speaker 4: The reason why this is a beautiful product is because
• 24:04
  Speaker 4: this is a usable product. So I like consumable products,
• 24:08
  Speaker 4: usable products in giftable products because people continuously use them.
• 24:13
  Speaker 4: So if I buy, like let's just say this desk
• 24:15
  Speaker 4: that my computer's setting on, I only need that once
• 24:17
  Speaker 4: and that's it said and done. This lent roller, once
• 24:20
  Speaker 4: you run out of the tape, you might buy the
• 24:22
  Speaker 4: lent roller set, but once you run out of the tape,
• 24:24
  Speaker 4: you need the tape again. Or if we have a
• 24:26
  Speaker 4: giftable product that can be gifted for a man or
• 24:29
  Speaker 4: a woman, guess what, there's birthdays, Father's Day, Mother's Day,
• 24:32
  Speaker 4: Valentine's Day, graduation. They're constantly being given. Another example is supplements.
• 24:38
  Speaker 4: Supplements are very small, very cheap to make, very small,
• 24:42
  Speaker 4: very cheap to ship, very cheap to fulfill, and guess what,
• 24:46
  Speaker 4: at the end of the thirty days, you need it again.
• 24:48
  Speaker 4: So you can actually have a subscribe and save, meaning
• 24:50
  Speaker 4: it's a continuity package. People order it and they get
• 24:53
  Speaker 4: it every single month. So some of the products, I
• 24:56
  Speaker 4: look like I'm in the beauty really big, and I'm
• 24:58
  Speaker 4: in office in office products very big, because these are
• 25:01
  Speaker 4: products that you constantly use that you need to reorder.
• 25:04
  Speaker 4: So I'm constantly thinking, like, we don't want a one
• 25:06
  Speaker 4: night stand with our customers, we want the marriage. And
• 25:09
  Speaker 4: so many people focus on that one night stand, Like,
• 25:11
  Speaker 4: how can I make the most amount of money on
• 25:13
  Speaker 4: the first touch, or what's the product that people were
• 25:16
  Speaker 4: gonna buy a lot of on that first touch. I'm
• 25:18
  Speaker 4: thinking down the road, what's a product that you know,
• 25:21
  Speaker 4: I may not crush it on the first touch, but
• 25:23
  Speaker 4: they're gonna be locked in and we're gonna have a marriage.
• 25:25
  Speaker 4: They're gonna need it every single month for the next year,
• 25:27
  Speaker 4: the next two years, next three years. And that's something
• 25:30
  Speaker 4: like amateurs they monetize the front, and experts in this
• 25:32
  Speaker 4: business they monetize the back. They don't focus on the
• 25:35
  Speaker 4: one night stand. It's that marriage.
• 25:37
  Speaker 3: There you have it, ladies and gentlemen, whole lot of game.
• 25:40
  Speaker 3: So we gave you the one on one. So in
• 25:42
  Speaker 3: the next segment, we're gonna go over some steps to
• 25:45
  Speaker 3: get you up and running so you can get started,
• 25:47
  Speaker 3: all right, Yeah, So in this segment we're going to
• 25:50
  Speaker 3: actually go over the steps actionable items. But you know,
• 25:53
  Speaker 3: I was just thinking about it, and that just really
• 25:55
  Speaker 3: makes a lot of sense. And sometimes the simplest things
• 25:58
  Speaker 3: is just mind blowing and it's like I never really
• 26:00
  Speaker 3: thought about it, but it's like makes complete sense. Like
• 26:05
  Speaker 3: nobody ever who looks at the brand name of a linp.
• 26:09
  Speaker 5: Rolls it works.
• 26:10
  Speaker 4: Man. Yeah, it's what all the big guys are doing.
• 26:12
  Speaker 4: Beats By all this is is a private label product.
• 26:15
  Speaker 4: This is made in China. These are made for sixteen
• 26:17
  Speaker 4: dollars and he's selling them for two hundred dollars. Why
• 26:20
  Speaker 4: because of the brand name. So the whole goal, like
• 26:22
  Speaker 4: I said, like Kleenex, Like everybody like, yo, haven me
• 26:25
  Speaker 4: a Kleenex. That's not the name of the product, that's
• 26:27
  Speaker 4: the name of the brand. You see what I'm saying,
• 26:29
  Speaker 4: Like the Q tip is not the name of the product,
• 26:32
  Speaker 4: it's the name of the brand. So you want to
• 26:34
  Speaker 4: become a category king, like Apple is a category king.
• 26:37
  Speaker 4: Beats by Dre is a category king, right, So that's
• 26:41
  Speaker 4: that's basically all they're doing. Like if you look on
• 26:43
  Speaker 4: if you look on the bottom of an Apple product,
• 26:45
  Speaker 4: it says made in China. You look on the back
• 26:47
  Speaker 4: of these made in China. So they're basically finding products
• 26:50
  Speaker 4: that people need. Everybody needs to listen to music, everybody
• 26:53
  Speaker 4: needs to clean their ears, and they're slapping their brand
• 26:55
  Speaker 4: on it. Right now, not everybody has a huge brand
• 26:58
  Speaker 4: like Dre. But if you create a good product, good
• 27:02
  Speaker 4: customer service, you can become a category king because you know,
• 27:06
  Speaker 4: Beyonce is not going to go drop some Q tips right,
• 27:09
  Speaker 4: Like I sell a lot of office office products. I'm
• 27:12
  Speaker 4: crushing it because there's no huge brand that's taking it on.
• 27:16
  Speaker 4: Like you're not going to see jay Z, you know,
• 27:17
  Speaker 4: shooting or Kanye doing a line of binder clips, you
• 27:20
  Speaker 4: know what I mean, or three ring binders. So if
• 27:23
  Speaker 4: you go in there and then you serve these people
• 27:24
  Speaker 4: and you're making sure that you're reading the reviews of
• 27:26
  Speaker 4: the competitors, and you're making it a better product, you're
• 27:29
  Speaker 4: making it a more affordable product, and you're doing all
• 27:31
  Speaker 4: these things. Now you become the category king and people
• 27:34
  Speaker 4: are like, I want such and such, which is your brand?
• 27:36
  Speaker 4: So that's what we do. And it's like it's the
• 27:38
  Speaker 4: most sustainable business model. Like people ask me all the time, like, yo,
• 27:41
  Speaker 4: is Amazon dead? Like so many people are starting to
• 27:44
  Speaker 4: sell on Amazon? Is Amazon dead? As this saturated? Can
• 27:47
  Speaker 4: you still sell? I'm like, let's forget about Amazon, which
• 27:50
  Speaker 4: is the largest company in the world. The founder is
• 27:52
  Speaker 4: the richest man alive. Let's set all that aside. What
• 27:55
  Speaker 4: is selling on Amazon? What is private label products. What
• 27:58
  Speaker 4: is this right, there's a demand. You need to hear
• 28:01
  Speaker 4: your music, so there's a demand for headphones. I have
• 28:04
  Speaker 4: the supply, supply and demand. If you go back to
• 28:07
  Speaker 4: the Renaissance period when there was castles and horses and
• 28:09
  Speaker 4: sword fighting, knights needed swords, so they went to a blacksmith.
• 28:13
  Speaker 4: The blacksmith made the sword. They had the demand, there
• 28:17
  Speaker 4: was a supply, and they exchanged rather be coins or
• 28:20
  Speaker 4: they boughtered, so it was just a direct exchange of
• 28:22
  Speaker 4: supply and demand. So now times have changed and now
• 28:25
  Speaker 4: we have computers, smartphones, tablets, and when we need something,
• 28:29
  Speaker 4: we go to the market, which is Amazon. Amazon facilitates everything.
• 28:33
  Speaker 4: They have everything, any and every product you can think of,
• 28:36
  Speaker 4: basically accept cars, which soon they're working on that, and
• 28:40
  Speaker 4: we just go buy what we want and boom, it's
• 28:42
  Speaker 4: to our house two days later. So when people ask
• 28:44
  Speaker 4: me like is it dead, I'm like, no, it's not dead.
• 28:46
  Speaker 4: This supply and demand has always existed. There's always been
• 28:50
  Speaker 4: a need for items, and this is just the most relevant,
• 28:53
  Speaker 4: most up to date, most user friendly, and effective way
• 28:56
  Speaker 4: to purchase products. Like even during a pandemic, if you
• 28:59
  Speaker 4: need something and you don't want to go to the store.
• 29:01
  Speaker 4: You can't go to the store, you go online. Less
• 29:04
  Speaker 4: than five minutes is bought, and then less than two
• 29:06
  Speaker 4: days is to your doorstep.
• 29:08
  Speaker 3: You just said, was that was crazy? That's actually extremely
• 29:10
  Speaker 3: extremely important. That's a gym where it's like everybody, not everybody,
• 29:14
  Speaker 3: but a lot of people are private label companies. And
• 29:17
  Speaker 3: it's like you use the example of Beats by Dre,
• 29:20
  Speaker 3: so it's like, yeah, if you don't really necessarily have
• 29:23
  Speaker 3: your warehouse where you're actually making products yourself, which almost
• 29:28
  Speaker 3: nobody really does, you're getting it made somewhere else and
• 29:32
  Speaker 3: then getting it shipped and then putting your logo on it.
• 29:36
  Speaker 3: Essentially you're a private label company, right, And it's like
• 29:40
  Speaker 3: the only difference is that, like a Beats by Dre
• 29:42
  Speaker 3: has celebrities that endorse the product, and they have doctor
• 29:45
  Speaker 3: Dre's name on it, and you know, all of these
• 29:47
  Speaker 3: different things. It's a billion dollar company now, but in
• 29:51
  Speaker 3: the essence, the core business model, especially at the beginning stages,
• 29:55
  Speaker 3: i'm sure, is kind of the same thing. So that's
• 29:59
  Speaker 3: that's really it's crazy. That's interesting if you really think
• 30:01
  Speaker 3: about it, everybody's a private label.
• 30:03
  Speaker 4: Absolutely, So peep Game there's three different ways. We talked
• 30:07
  Speaker 4: about arbitrage where you go to best Buy and you
• 30:10
  Speaker 4: get something at a discount and then you sell it
• 30:12
  Speaker 4: for the MSRP and keep the difference. Right, that's arbitrage.
• 30:15
  Speaker 4: You have wholesale where I go and find companies and
• 30:19
  Speaker 4: I have them sell me the product at a discounted rate,
• 30:22
  Speaker 4: at a wholesale price, and I become a distributor and
• 30:25
  Speaker 4: I sell it at an MAP which is minimum advertised price.
• 30:29
  Speaker 4: So that's strategy number two. And then there's strategy number three.
• 30:31
  Speaker 4: People call private labeling, which is what I just explained, right,
• 30:34
  Speaker 4: But if you think about it, the distributor, the wholesaler
• 30:37
  Speaker 4: who's wholesaling you the product so you can become a distributor,
• 30:40
  Speaker 4: has a private label product that you're becoming a distributor of.
• 30:43
  Speaker 4: And if we are bitrage products where we go buy
• 30:46
  Speaker 4: private label products of large brands at a discounted price
• 30:49
  Speaker 4: and resell it at that MSRP and keep the difference,
• 30:52
  Speaker 4: what are we doing. It's just a different form of
• 30:54
  Speaker 4: private labeling. So what we're doing is we're cutting out
• 30:57
  Speaker 4: the middleman. We're not going to a wholesaler and becoming
• 30:59
  Speaker 4: a distributor. We're not hoping that we find products at
• 31:02
  Speaker 4: a discounted price and sell it for that MSRP. We're
• 31:05
  Speaker 4: just finding the products that the big guys need or
• 31:08
  Speaker 4: big guys are selling. We're making our own sending it
• 31:11
  Speaker 4: direct to consumer, and we're making all the profits. Like
• 31:15
  Speaker 4: so many people say, like I don't want to get
• 31:16
  Speaker 4: started with headphones because Beats by Dre are the best.
• 31:19
  Speaker 4: Beats by Dre are not the best or the well known,
• 31:21
  Speaker 4: they're the most well known. You can go directly to
• 31:24
  Speaker 4: the same factory and make the same headset more affordable
• 31:27
  Speaker 4: and actually improve it and still get sells, and still
• 31:31
  Speaker 4: get sells. Like I'm competing with Amazon, I'm competing with
• 31:34
  Speaker 4: some of the largest companies in the world, and people
• 31:36
  Speaker 4: have this misconception I can't compete with them. Why not
• 31:40
  Speaker 4: Adidas competes with Nike. Same stuff, same supplier, made in
• 31:43
  Speaker 4: the same country, made out of the same fabric, different brands,
• 31:47
  Speaker 4: different uses. So what I do is I literally look
• 31:50
  Speaker 4: at these products. What is the pros, what is the
• 31:52
  Speaker 4: cons what people love? I don't change what people hate.
• 31:55
  Speaker 4: I implement immediately. And because I'm such a small company
• 31:58
  Speaker 4: and I'm so hands on as a private label seller,
• 32:01
  Speaker 4: we can dive deep and become obsessed with making this
• 32:04
  Speaker 4: product the best that it can be. You know, once
• 32:06
  Speaker 4: you have a product that's crushing it. Even though they
• 32:08
  Speaker 4: have huge budgets, huge teams, they're on research and development
• 32:12
  Speaker 4: for more products, they're not worried about making this the
• 32:14
  Speaker 4: best of the best. So like when your hands on
• 32:17
  Speaker 4: and you become obsessed, it's all your money. You can
• 32:19
  Speaker 4: literally dive in and make this thing, you know, make
• 32:22
  Speaker 4: this thing great. And that's what I do. Like if
• 32:24
  Speaker 4: you look at Peter Tiel, the co founder of PayPal,
• 32:27
  Speaker 4: right with Elon Musk, and they asked him like, how
• 32:30
  Speaker 4: did you revolutionize the payment processor industry? And he said,
• 32:34
  Speaker 4: dominate the sector, control the space. So instead of going wide,
• 32:38
  Speaker 4: I'm going small. I'm going narrow. I'm focusing on that
• 32:40
  Speaker 4: one thing. Instead of hundreds of SKUs, I have only
• 32:43
  Speaker 4: a dozen skews, but those dozen SKUs are household names.
• 32:46
  Speaker 4: I'm trying to dominate the sector and control the space,
• 32:49
  Speaker 4: like I explained, like tissue paper with Kleenex or Q
• 32:53
  Speaker 4: tips with cotton swabs, they dominate that sector. And then
• 32:57
  Speaker 4: zig Zigler, one of the best marketers alive, he said,
• 32:59
  Speaker 4: when the market is zigs uzag, so I'm doing the
• 33:01
  Speaker 4: complete opposite. People are racing down to the bottom trying
• 33:05
  Speaker 4: to be competitive with their pricing. My pricing is higher
• 33:08
  Speaker 4: and I'm selling more and making more money. Why well,
• 33:11
  Speaker 4: why is Apple one of the most commonly purchased consumer
• 33:14
  Speaker 4: electronics products and it's sixty to eighty percent higher than HP,
• 33:18
  Speaker 4: Dell and all the other competitors. Why because the consumer
• 33:22
  Speaker 4: product experience is that much better. The quality and the
• 33:24
  Speaker 4: product is that much better. The customer buying experience is
• 33:27
  Speaker 4: that much better, The customer support is that much better,
• 33:30
  Speaker 4: The packaging is that much better. So I always tell
• 33:32
  Speaker 4: my students and people who I'm helping, when you're thinking
• 33:35
  Speaker 4: about products, when you're thinking about product packaging, when you're
• 33:38
  Speaker 4: thinking about customer experience, what would Apple do? You know?
• 33:42
  Speaker 4: Like the WWJD, what would Jesus do? What would Apple do?
• 33:45
  Speaker 4: And if you follow their entire model you can't lose.
• 33:48
  Speaker 6: That alplatross process and correct me if I'm wrong, But
• 33:51
  Speaker 6: it reminds me of the kid who goes to Walmart,
• 33:53
  Speaker 6: buys water right, goes outside and sells it at a
• 33:56
  Speaker 6: discount of price and keeps the profit from what he's here,
• 33:59
  Speaker 6: Is it right?
• 34:00
  Speaker 5: Am I getting that correct?
• 34:01
  Speaker 4: Fat You're basically a middle man. You go into the plug,
• 34:03
  Speaker 4: you getting at a discount because you're buying bulk, and
• 34:06
  Speaker 4: then you're trying to sell. It's the same. So arbitrage
• 34:08
  Speaker 4: and wholesale is the same exact thing. The only difference
• 34:11
  Speaker 4: between wholesale and arbitrage is arbitrage you're buying, like, I'm
• 34:15
  Speaker 4: gonna go, let's just say Black Friday beats by Dreas
• 34:18
  Speaker 4: fifty percent off. I'm just throwing something out there. I'm
• 34:20
  Speaker 4: gonna go buy ten of these, wait till Black Friday's done,
• 34:23
  Speaker 4: and sell them at MSRP, which is manufacturer suggested retail pricing,
• 34:27
  Speaker 4: and I'm gonna keep the difference. Wholesale is where I
• 34:29
  Speaker 4: go to a private label company, Like let's say that
• 34:32
  Speaker 4: I got this brand and I'm crushing it, and you
• 34:34
  Speaker 4: wholesale and you want to add to your catalog. You
• 34:36
  Speaker 4: come to me like, yo, I want to buy ten
• 34:38
  Speaker 4: thousand of them units and be able to sell it
• 34:40
  Speaker 4: under your brand. You're not creating your own brand, You're
• 34:43
  Speaker 4: just asking for a licensee agreement. So now you have
• 34:46
  Speaker 4: the rights to resell my product, and I'm giving you
• 34:49
  Speaker 4: a little bit of love. And that cushion in the
• 34:50
  Speaker 4: middle is what you make. So now you're the middleman,
• 34:53
  Speaker 4: private label, You're the plug. You're going right just like
• 34:56
  Speaker 4: Frank Lucas did, you going right to the jungle. You're
• 34:58
  Speaker 4: getting the stuff there, You're stamping it with your logo,
• 35:01
  Speaker 4: and you sit in there write to Amazon you.
• 35:03
  Speaker 3: Can blue magic with the stamp. Eyl is our stamp.
• 35:06
  Speaker 3: That's the best product on the block for sure. So
• 35:09
  Speaker 3: let me ask you this, because you know, my whole
• 35:12
  Speaker 3: thing has always been one hundred thousand. Like, if I'm
• 35:14
  Speaker 3: looking at a business, or if I'm interested in the business,
• 35:16
  Speaker 3: I want to know does it have the ability to
• 35:18
  Speaker 3: make one hundred thousand dollars a month? Not to say
• 35:20
  Speaker 3: it's gonna make one hundred thousand dollars a month, like
• 35:22
  Speaker 3: as soon as you get in, but I just want
• 35:24
  Speaker 3: to know that I could potentially make one hundred thousand
• 35:27
  Speaker 3: dollars a month. If not, feel like I'm wasting my time.
• 35:28
  Speaker 3: It's just my own personal take on it. So that's
• 35:30
  Speaker 3: how I gauge anything. It's like, is it able for
• 35:34
  Speaker 3: me to make one hundred thousand dollars a month in it,
• 35:36
  Speaker 3: So being a seller on Amazon one hundred thousand dollars
• 35:41
  Speaker 3: a month, is that reachable? And if so, like what
• 35:44
  Speaker 3: does it take to make one hundred thousand dollars a
• 35:46
  Speaker 3: month selling products on Amazon?
• 35:48
  Speaker 4: Absolutely? Man Like success is math. So you just got
• 35:51
  Speaker 4: to break it down, Like, if you want to make
• 35:52
  Speaker 4: a hundred thousand a month, how many products do you
• 35:55
  Speaker 4: got to make? Right? So, thirty units a day at
• 35:58
  Speaker 4: ten dollars profit is how much three hundred dollars a day? Right?
• 36:01
  Speaker 4: A few times that by thirty days in a month,
• 36:04
  Speaker 4: that's around nine thousand dollars. That's with one product. You
• 36:06
  Speaker 4: want to make a hundred g's profit a month, you
• 36:09
  Speaker 4: need nine more of those products. Or you break it down,
• 36:11
  Speaker 4: how many units do I have to sell per day
• 36:13
  Speaker 4: of one product? And when you go and do the
• 36:16
  Speaker 4: research inside the software, there's tons of different softwares where
• 36:18
  Speaker 4: you can find these products. You just go and you
• 36:21
  Speaker 4: input that data. It's hard to do it without showing
• 36:23
  Speaker 4: you guys. But if you need to sell one hundred
• 36:25
  Speaker 4: units a day at ten dollars profit to make one
• 36:27
  Speaker 4: thousand dollars a day, that's thirty thousand a month. You
• 36:30
  Speaker 4: go and say, hey, I want to find a product
• 36:31
  Speaker 4: that is selling x amount per day, x amount of units,
• 36:35
  Speaker 4: x amount of profit, and then you just reverse engineering. Right,
• 36:38
  Speaker 4: success is math, You just break it down. It's that simple,
• 36:42
  Speaker 4: all right.
• 36:42
  Speaker 3: So let me ask you this because I actually googled
• 36:44
  Speaker 3: it and I got a list of like some steps
• 36:46
  Speaker 3: that beginners can take to get up and running, and
• 36:51
  Speaker 3: it was a list of like seven different steps. So
• 36:53
  Speaker 3: they said, the first step is to create an Amazon
• 36:56
  Speaker 3: seller account. The second step is to.
• 36:59
  Speaker 2: Pick a niche.
• 37:00
  Speaker 3: The third step is to research products. The fourth step
• 37:03
  Speaker 3: is to establish product sourcing, and then you have to
• 37:07
  Speaker 3: establish a brand. Then you have to create product listing,
• 37:11
  Speaker 3: and then you have to market your products. So those
• 37:14
  Speaker 3: are the seven commandments according to Google. Does that sound
• 37:19
  Speaker 3: about right? How do you feel about that?
• 37:21
  Speaker 4: So let me intervene. Step number two says pick your niche.
• 37:25
  Speaker 4: That's the opposite of what I teach. I always teach
• 37:27
  Speaker 4: my students that you want to lead by data, not
• 37:30
  Speaker 4: by emotion. If you're picking something, you're picking it because
• 37:33
  Speaker 4: you think it's going to do well, and you're not
• 37:35
  Speaker 4: going off of the data. So many of the mistakes
• 37:37
  Speaker 4: I see my members and new Amazon sellers make is
• 37:40
  Speaker 4: they try to lead with emotion, not with data. Perfect example,
• 37:44
  Speaker 4: men that are into fitness, they always want to launch
• 37:46
  Speaker 4: the next supplement, the next workout gear, so on and
• 37:49
  Speaker 4: so forth. Women that are into beauty they want to
• 37:51
  Speaker 4: be the next Kylie Jenner, And even though they're passionate
• 37:54
  Speaker 4: about it and they love it, that's not the smartest,
• 37:56
  Speaker 4: most advantageous product to launch. So I always tell people
• 38:00
  Speaker 4: just start with an open slate, do the product research,
• 38:03
  Speaker 4: because some of the most profitable products that you're going
• 38:05
  Speaker 4: to make a killing off of are products like this
• 38:07
  Speaker 4: that you would have never in a million years thought
• 38:09
  Speaker 4: about launching, or you're not passionate about, but they're making
• 38:12
  Speaker 4: all the money. So I always tell people lead by data,
• 38:15
  Speaker 4: not by emotion. So, yeah, you want to get create
• 38:17
  Speaker 4: your Amazon Seller account. You want to start with an
• 38:20
  Speaker 4: individual account. It's absolutely free. We don't change that by
• 38:23
  Speaker 4: clicking a button to professional account until we have our
• 38:25
  Speaker 4: products actually being checked in. Because if you have a
• 38:28
  Speaker 4: professional account, it's thirty nine to ninety nine a month.
• 38:31
  Speaker 4: We don't want to pay that money until we have
• 38:33
  Speaker 4: products live. Number two is we want to get right
• 38:36
  Speaker 4: into product research. Just the most important aspect of the
• 38:40
  Speaker 4: entire business. We want to find these products that are
• 38:42
  Speaker 4: going to sell twenty four to seven three sixty five.
• 38:44
  Speaker 4: We want to find these products that are not seasonal
• 38:47
  Speaker 4: products meaning they're going to sell twenty four to seven
• 38:49
  Speaker 4: three sixty five, that are not trending, meaning that it
• 38:52
  Speaker 4: has depth of market. If there's volatility or there's no
• 38:55
  Speaker 4: sustainable track record of sales, that's risky. We don't want risk.
• 38:59
  Speaker 4: We want to make a lot of money. And again
• 39:00
  Speaker 4: we go to Google trends for both of those, a
• 39:02
  Speaker 4: free resource. Once we identify all those things, we go
• 39:06
  Speaker 4: to the supplier. We find the supplier. We want to
• 39:08
  Speaker 4: make sure that we're going to be able to make
• 39:10
  Speaker 4: that margin. So we're going to use a free tool
• 39:12
  Speaker 4: called the FBA calculator. It's a free tool that Amazon
• 39:15
  Speaker 4: owns fbacalculator dot com. We're going to put in how
• 39:18
  Speaker 4: much is the product selling for, how much are we
• 39:20
  Speaker 4: going to get it from the supplier, and all the
• 39:22
  Speaker 4: other fees associated with that, and it's going to spit
• 39:25
  Speaker 4: out the profit margin after Amazon takes to their piece
• 39:27
  Speaker 4: of the pie. So if it's below thirty percent, we
• 39:30
  Speaker 4: need to increase the price or decrease the purchase cost, right,
• 39:33
  Speaker 4: So by doing that we can manipulate and get that
• 39:36
  Speaker 4: profit margin to where we want to be. The goal
• 39:38
  Speaker 4: is thirty percent bare minimum, thirty three percent. Every three
• 39:41
  Speaker 4: products you sell, you double your money. So if you
• 39:44
  Speaker 4: put ten thousand into product and you're at thirty three
• 39:46
  Speaker 4: percent every three products, you're flipping that money, right. So
• 39:50
  Speaker 4: that's the whole goal is to really just scale this thing.
• 39:53
  Speaker 6: And then this episode is brought to you by P
• 39:56
  Speaker 6: and C Bank. A lot of people think podcasts about
• 39:59
  Speaker 6: work are born, and sure they definitely can be, but
• 40:02
  Speaker 6: understanding a professional's routine shows us how they achieve their
• 40:06
  Speaker 6: success little by little, day after day. It's like banking
• 40:10
  Speaker 6: with P and C Bank. It might seem boring to save,
• 40:13
  Speaker 6: plan and make calculated decisions with your bank, but keeping
• 40:16
  Speaker 6: your money boring is what helps you live or more
• 40:19
  Speaker 6: happily fulfilled life. P and C Bank Brilliantly Boring since
• 40:23
  Speaker 6: eighteen sixty five. Brilliantly Boring since eighteen sixty five is

  Speaker 1: all you need.
• 42:43
  Speaker 4: The way that you scale this thing is by adding
• 42:46
  Speaker 4: more products to your SKW You rinse and repeat. Once
• 42:48
  Speaker 4: you get the first product, it's all downhill from there.
• 42:51
  Speaker 4: Because what I teach is the actual brand approach, not
• 42:54
  Speaker 4: the generic approach. So the generic approach is where you
• 42:57
  Speaker 4: have tons of different private label products. You might sell
• 43:01
  Speaker 4: this phone mount, and then you might sell a calculator,
• 43:04
  Speaker 4: then the lin roller, and have all these different products.
• 43:06
  Speaker 4: That's one strategy. The more sustainable strategy that I recommend
• 43:11
  Speaker 4: is the private label. So we do a catalog. So
• 43:14
  Speaker 4: if we launch this product and it's in a specific category,
• 43:18
  Speaker 4: we want to launch other relevant products to this catalog
• 43:21
  Speaker 4: and create our own catalog. And the reason why I
• 43:23
  Speaker 4: say that first product is it's downhill from there is
• 43:26
  Speaker 4: because we already have the plug. We already have the suppliers.
• 43:28
  Speaker 4: So after that thing's up and rolling and it's making
• 43:31
  Speaker 4: us money twenty four seven, three sixty five, we go
• 43:33
  Speaker 4: to the supplier and say, hey, send me your catalog
• 43:36
  Speaker 4: of products and what other Amazon sellers are selling, and
• 43:38
  Speaker 4: we go through it and we do our research and
• 43:40
  Speaker 4: they already shaved time off the hourglass. So then we
• 43:43
  Speaker 4: find another product and we just rent and repeat, and
• 43:45
  Speaker 4: you keep stacking products and that's how you scale this thing.
• 43:48
  Speaker 5: All right. So, once we got our product and we
• 43:50
  Speaker 5: got our logo, all that.
• 43:51
  Speaker 6: Put together, what are some of the upfront frees that
• 43:53
  Speaker 6: we're going to need to get this product really out
• 43:55
  Speaker 6: there and be a successful company?
• 43:58
  Speaker 4: Now? Yeah, so the fees is associated with starting the businesses.
• 44:01
  Speaker 4: Number one, the main fee is going to be your product,
• 44:04
  Speaker 4: right because we're not drop shipping where people buy our
• 44:07
  Speaker 4: product and then we pay the supplier afterwards, where actually
• 44:10
  Speaker 4: we own the brand, we own the product. So the
• 44:12
  Speaker 4: number one fee associated with the whole business is going
• 44:15
  Speaker 4: to be your COG or cost of goods. Now, it depends,
• 44:19
  Speaker 4: because your product could cost a dollar, it could cost
• 44:21
  Speaker 4: twelve dollars. But what I usually tell people when they're
• 44:23
  Speaker 4: starting out is to start with no less than one
• 44:26
  Speaker 4: thousand dollars. Have one thousand dollars that you can allocate
• 44:29
  Speaker 4: directly to your inventory. Now, some people may say, like, hey,
• 44:32
  Speaker 4: I was watching on YouTube and reading blogs and stuff,
• 44:35
  Speaker 4: and they're saying like three to ten thousand to start
• 44:37
  Speaker 4: your first product. How can I start with only one thousand?
• 44:40
  Speaker 4: What I do with the AMC formula, what I teach
• 44:42
  Speaker 4: people is how to micro launch products. So logically, what
• 44:46
  Speaker 4: you would do is find out how many units you're
• 44:48
  Speaker 4: going to sell per month. If you anticipate that you're
• 44:50
  Speaker 4: going to sell one thousand units a month and your
• 44:53
  Speaker 4: unit costs three dollars, that's a three thousand dollars launch
• 44:56
  Speaker 4: because you don't want to run out of inventory. But
• 44:58
  Speaker 4: what I've learned through trial and error my own brand
• 45:00
  Speaker 4: and through helping you know, thousands of people around the world.
• 45:03
  Speaker 4: Is that there's no software that's one hundred percent accurate,
• 45:06
  Speaker 4: and there's nothing like actual factual buyer data directly from Amazon.
• 45:10
  Speaker 4: So we don't put all of our eggs in one
• 45:12
  Speaker 4: basket and launch three thousand units or one thousand units.
• 45:16
  Speaker 4: We'll actually order twenty to thirty percent of the inventory
• 45:19
  Speaker 4: that we anticipate on selling for that month. We'll get
• 45:21
  Speaker 4: it to Amazon as quickly as possible because success loves speed,
• 45:25
  Speaker 4: and we'll test actual buying data from consumers. And if
• 45:29
  Speaker 4: it sees that we're getting consecutive days, like three to
• 45:31
  Speaker 4: five days, consecutive sales of what we anticipated on selling,
• 45:35
  Speaker 4: then we make that back order. But if it's not,
• 45:38
  Speaker 4: then we liquidated and move to the next product. And
• 45:41
  Speaker 4: this is like my proprietary system, and this is how
• 45:43
  Speaker 4: you profit off of failing product. So many people put
• 45:46
  Speaker 4: all their eggs in one basket, but if you drop
• 45:47
  Speaker 4: the basket, all the eggs are gone. So instead of
• 45:50
  Speaker 4: putting all my money in one product, will micro launch
• 45:52
  Speaker 4: three products at once, or will micro launch that one
• 45:55
  Speaker 4: product that way? If we get it to the marketplace
• 45:57
  Speaker 4: and it doesn't perform the way we anticipated, we can
• 46:00
  Speaker 4: liquidate that product, add a profit, and move to the
• 46:03
  Speaker 4: next one. Because you got to remember, like so many
• 46:05
  Speaker 4: people ask me, like, what's the worst that can happen
• 46:08
  Speaker 4: with their product, like a failing product or losing Amazon product.
• 46:11
  Speaker 4: What does it look like? How much am I going
• 46:12
  Speaker 4: to lose? What's the worst case scenario? And if you
• 46:15
  Speaker 4: do this properly and you cross your t's, you dot
• 46:18
  Speaker 4: your eye, and you do that product verification and validation
• 46:21
  Speaker 4: that we discussed, the worst thing that's going to happen
• 46:23
  Speaker 4: is you're not going to sell enough units daily to
• 46:26
  Speaker 4: reach that ten thousand profit a month or three thousand
• 46:29
  Speaker 4: profit a month or whatever you're anticipated on it's selling.
• 46:32
  Speaker 4: It makes be one here or two there. It may
• 46:34
  Speaker 4: be inconsistent, but you have to remember you're still at
• 46:37
  Speaker 4: that thirty percent to fifty percent profit margin. So even
• 46:40
  Speaker 4: though it's a loser because it's not making us what
• 46:42
  Speaker 4: we wanted to make, it's still profiting. And we only
• 46:45
  Speaker 4: have a specific amount. We don't have an abundance of
• 46:48
  Speaker 4: units that we can't get rid of or that's going
• 46:50
  Speaker 4: to take a long time to get rid of, that's
• 46:51
  Speaker 4: going to lock up our capital. So we can liquidate
• 46:53
  Speaker 4: it profit on the liquidation of that product, put all
• 46:57
  Speaker 4: the proceeds into another product, and just keep testing until
• 46:59
  Speaker 4: you find that one that's going to have consistency.
• 47:01
  Speaker 3: So you mentioned something earlier where you said, you know
• 47:05
  Speaker 3: there's different software that you can use to actually find
• 47:08
  Speaker 3: out if a product is going to be an actual
• 47:11
  Speaker 3: good seller or not. So I know that's something that
• 47:13
  Speaker 3: you know is probably my biggest question, and I'm sure
• 47:15
  Speaker 3: a lot of other people's question as well. So how
• 47:18
  Speaker 3: do you determine if it's going to be a good product?
• 47:20
  Speaker 3: Like what are some of those softwares or websites that
• 47:24
  Speaker 3: you were referring to.
• 47:25
  Speaker 4: So there's a combination of a few things, using Amazon's
• 47:29
  Speaker 4: direct website, using the free resources that we talked about,
• 47:32
  Speaker 4: like Google Trends, free FBA calculator to determine the seasonality,
• 47:37
  Speaker 4: the trend, the profit margin. But there's many of different
• 47:40
  Speaker 4: softwares like I personally use Jungle Scout. There's dozens of
• 47:43
  Speaker 4: different softwares that are relatively inexpensive, like between.
• 47:46
  Speaker 2: Thirty to fifty buve nich Hunter is that one.
• 47:49
  Speaker 4: Nich Hunter's one. There's there's tons of them. Viral launch,
• 47:54
  Speaker 4: viral launch Helium ten. Jungle Scouts is the one I
• 47:56
  Speaker 4: personally use. There's tons of different softwares out there, and
• 47:59
  Speaker 4: what this does is basically take all the data that's
• 48:01
  Speaker 4: on Amazon and compiles it in front of a user
• 48:04
  Speaker 4: fase right an interface. So after you do all that
• 48:07
  Speaker 4: manual stuff to see is the product trending, is the
• 48:10
  Speaker 4: project seasonal? Is the profit margin there? Then you can
• 48:13
  Speaker 4: use this software to actually pull up, Hey, this is
• 48:15
  Speaker 4: all this is all the sellers, this is the average reviews,
• 48:18
  Speaker 4: this is the average amount of sales. So you basically
• 48:20
  Speaker 4: want to compare the amount of sellers, the amount of
• 48:23
  Speaker 4: revenue to the amount of reviews. So one of the
• 48:26
  Speaker 4: like the telltale ways of seeing if a product has
• 48:29
  Speaker 4: high demand low competition is comparing the reviews to revenue.
• 48:33
  Speaker 4: So our bare minimum is we want to see a
• 48:35
  Speaker 4: majority of the sellers selling a product at three hundred
• 48:38
  Speaker 4: units per month, that's ten units per day, and we
• 48:42
  Speaker 4: want that profit margin to be around, you know, thirty percent,
• 48:45
  Speaker 4: like we mentioned, and we want a majority of the
• 48:47
  Speaker 4: sellers to have less than two hundred reviews. So if
• 48:51
  Speaker 4: you see a bunch of sellers who are selling a
• 48:53
  Speaker 4: crapload of products per month, you know, one hundred, two hundred,
• 48:56
  Speaker 4: three hundred, one thousand units per month, but they all
• 48:58
  Speaker 4: have two three thousand reviews. That means that there's a
• 49:01
  Speaker 4: lot of ogs in that industry. There's a lot of
• 49:03
  Speaker 4: people that's been selling that product. They have established track
• 49:07
  Speaker 4: record with that industry. People prefer that brand, just like Colgate.
• 49:12
  Speaker 4: Like if you go onto Toothpaste, it doesn't matter if
• 49:14
  Speaker 4: you're cheaper or you're better. People love Colgate. They're not
• 49:17
  Speaker 4: going to try the new guy, right, So that's how
• 49:19
  Speaker 4: we establish does that product have high demand, low competition?
• 49:22
  Speaker 4: Is a lot of sales, a little bit of reviews.
• 49:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 49:25
  Speaker 6: So now that you have the product and you're registered
• 49:27
  Speaker 6: on Amazon dot com, what's the process of getting it
• 49:30
  Speaker 6: to the front page because that's what everybody sees, right
• 49:32
  Speaker 6: or even in the first two pages. Is there like
• 49:34
  Speaker 6: an SEO strategy that you can use.
• 49:35
  Speaker 4: Yeah, So SEO is search engine optimization, And that's a
• 49:38
  Speaker 4: good question. So a lot of the money, Like I said,
• 49:40
  Speaker 4: Amazon is the search engine, just like Google. So the
• 49:43
  Speaker 4: main goal as a seller is to get your product
• 49:46
  Speaker 4: is hied to the first page as you can. And
• 49:49
  Speaker 4: the way Amazon their whole algorithm works it's very simple.
• 49:52
  Speaker 4: If you're the number one guy in the world and
• 49:54
  Speaker 4: you're selling one hundred units a day, I just need
• 49:55
  Speaker 4: to sell one more unit than you for a few
• 49:58
  Speaker 4: days in a row. So all we have to do
• 50:00
  Speaker 4: is run. We can do giveaways, and there's so many
• 50:03
  Speaker 4: different tools. We can run giveaways. We can do influencer marketing,
• 50:07
  Speaker 4: we can do PPC, which is pay per click, and
• 50:09
  Speaker 4: the majority of this is all within Amazon Seller Central.
• 50:12
  Speaker 4: We can do this all within Amazon. The only one
• 50:15
  Speaker 4: that I use that's very effective that's outside of Amazon,
• 50:18
  Speaker 4: which we were talking about, is influencer marketing, and this
• 50:21
  Speaker 4: stuffs super super simple. Like in twenty eighteen, Jeff Bezos
• 50:25
  Speaker 4: had a letter to shareholders that said that sales like
• 50:29
  Speaker 4: third party sellers are kicking first party sellers butts. So
• 50:32
  Speaker 4: people like me are kicking Amazon's actual brands butts and
• 50:36
  Speaker 4: other huge conglomerates in brands butts because of the powerful
• 50:40
  Speaker 4: resources that they're dumping millions of dollars into. So, like,
• 50:43
  Speaker 4: I don't know if you guys ever try to run
• 50:45
  Speaker 4: Facebook or YouTube or Google Ads. They're complex, they're difficult.
• 50:48
  Speaker 4: The whole user interface is difficult, and you got to
• 50:52
  Speaker 4: know what you're doing with seller Central like you can
• 50:54
  Speaker 4: set these ads up in a like in a minute
• 50:57
  Speaker 4: or less. There's a few buttons and you click start.
• 50:59
  Speaker 4: It's not as complex is Facebook or Google, and they're
• 51:02
  Speaker 4: very effective and we're able to literally take our product
• 51:05
  Speaker 4: that no one knows about, that barely has any reviews
• 51:08
  Speaker 4: and push it to the top of search results by
• 51:10
  Speaker 4: this paid advertising. And then my secret weapon is the
• 51:14
  Speaker 4: influencer marketing. So this is the only thing that's done
• 51:17
  Speaker 4: outside of Amazon, and basically it works like this. I
• 51:19
  Speaker 4: use Instagram because a lot of people know me On Instagram.
• 51:22
  Speaker 4: You go into the search bar. Let's say we're launching
• 51:24
  Speaker 4: a yoga mat. You type in hashtag yoga, and it's
• 51:27
  Speaker 4: going to show all the hashtags, and next to it's
• 51:29
  Speaker 4: going to show the number, which is the amount of
• 51:31
  Speaker 4: actual searches and posts. You want to find that keyword
• 51:34
  Speaker 4: that has the most searched search volume or post volume,
• 51:38
  Speaker 4: which means it's the largest and most impression based keyword,
• 51:41
  Speaker 4: meaning people are basically searching for that keyword. So it's
• 51:43
  Speaker 4: going to be hashtag yoga. We click on hashtag yoga,
• 51:46
  Speaker 4: and we scroll through all the feed and we just
• 51:48
  Speaker 4: start clicking on different posts to find influencers. So influencer
• 51:51
  Speaker 4: is someone who has a special following in a specific category.
• 51:56
  Speaker 4: So we want to find someone that has over ten
• 51:58
  Speaker 4: thousand followers. And the reason why ten thousand, ten thousand
• 52:00
  Speaker 4: is the magic number is because on Instagram, if you
• 52:03
  Speaker 4: have over ten thousand, you can do a swipe up story,
• 52:06
  Speaker 4: meaning on their story you can swipe up and send
• 52:08
  Speaker 4: them directly to a website. So we want to reach
• 52:10
  Speaker 4: out to them by hitting the message button, which is
• 52:12
  Speaker 4: the DM. Right yogat he made that famous. They want
• 52:16
  Speaker 4: to slide into their DM and just say, hey, my
• 52:18
  Speaker 4: name is Josh, I'm getting ready to launch this yoga
• 52:20
  Speaker 4: mat on Amazon. I love your page, I love what
• 52:23
  Speaker 4: you're doing. I'd love to give your audience a discount
• 52:26
  Speaker 4: on my product, which is an amazing product, and I'd
• 52:28
  Speaker 4: love to work with you. And they're gonna be like, yeah, sure, awesome.
• 52:32
  Speaker 4: Send me thirty bucks via cash app or via PayPal,
• 52:35
  Speaker 4: send me your link and send me your content. So
• 52:37
  Speaker 4: you send them a picture, you send them the link
• 52:39
  Speaker 4: to your Amazon store. They post it. Now. People who
• 52:41
  Speaker 4: love yoga who want to buy a yoga mat are
• 52:44
  Speaker 4: going directly to your Amazon store to buy your product.
• 52:47
  Speaker 4: And remember, all we got to do is sell more
• 52:50
  Speaker 4: than the other guy a few days in a row
• 52:52
  Speaker 4: to kick his butt and move up in the search results.
• 52:55
  Speaker 4: And that's what we do, man, that's the whole strategy.
• 52:57
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yoga MAT's another good one. Yoga MAT's a huge one,
• 53:01
  Speaker 3: another product where nobody cares who makes a yoga mat.
• 53:05
  Speaker 3: I haven't ever seen anybody that's tripping off of the designer.
• 53:09
  Speaker 3: They're not looking for Gucci yoga mats. So let me
• 53:13
  Speaker 3: ask you this. I think you might have access already,
• 53:14
  Speaker 3: but I like to ask questions twice sometimes to really
• 53:18
  Speaker 3: double down. For people that are slow learners like myself,
• 53:21
  Speaker 3: this is this is the big This is the big
• 53:23
  Speaker 3: one that everybody probably wondering. What's the budget that you
• 53:27
  Speaker 3: actually need to get started in this business?
• 53:29
  Speaker 4: Yeah, so I highly recommend obviously the more that you
• 53:32
  Speaker 4: have access to, the better, but I recommend nothing less
• 53:35
  Speaker 4: than one thousand dollars to micro launch and test your
• 53:37
  Speaker 4: first product. Also, here's another thing. I'm an avid practitioner
• 53:41
  Speaker 4: of OPM, which is other people's money. So even if
• 53:44
  Speaker 4: you have cash burning a hole in your pocket or
• 53:46
  Speaker 4: your banking account, but you have a zero percent interest
• 53:49
  Speaker 4: credit card, or you can go sign up for a
• 53:51
  Speaker 4: zero percent interest credit card. Use that because it's free
• 53:54
  Speaker 4: money for the twelve months plus you're gonna get the
• 53:56
  Speaker 4: bonuses and the benefits, so on and so forth. So,
• 54:00
  Speaker 4: like I said, one thousand dollars to get started bare minimum,
• 54:03
  Speaker 4: Definitely use lines of credit, business business lines of credit,
• 54:08
  Speaker 4: or just credit cards. That's what I do. I'd never
• 54:10
  Speaker 4: use my debit card. I personally use the gold Amax
• 54:12
  Speaker 4: card because we get four x points on two different categories.
• 54:16
  Speaker 4: So the two biggest categories that the money is going
• 54:18
  Speaker 4: to be spent with your business is number one sourcing
• 54:21
  Speaker 4: products and number two advertising. So with that gold Amax
• 54:25
  Speaker 4: business card, you get four x the points on two
• 54:27
  Speaker 4: categories which is products, right, sourcing products, manufacturing products, and
• 54:33
  Speaker 4: then you're advertising. So I'm using that and I'm like,
• 54:36
  Speaker 4: people see me traveling around the world like them. Flights
• 54:38
  Speaker 4: are free, the hotels are free, and I'm doing it
• 54:40
  Speaker 4: all off my Amax points.
• 54:42
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 54:42
  Speaker 6: So I know you mentioned Ali Baba as a potential
• 54:44
  Speaker 6: manufacturer and partner. Are there any other ones that you
• 54:47
  Speaker 6: would recommend or you know that's out there that are
• 54:49
  Speaker 6: pretty good?
• 54:50
  Speaker 4: Yeah? So Ali Baba is a website. It's like a
• 54:52
  Speaker 4: broker and then it's like a It's almost like Amazon.
• 54:56
  Speaker 4: So Amazon is not the seller, but they have sellers
• 54:58
  Speaker 4: underneath their platform. Ali Baba is not a direct manufacturer,
• 55:02
  Speaker 4: but people who are manufacturers go on lists underneath Ali Baba.
• 55:05
  Speaker 4: There's a few others like Dhgate and Ali Express, which
• 55:09
  Speaker 4: is a subsidiary Ali Baba, but Ali Baba is the
• 55:11
  Speaker 4: largest and it's going to have the best prices direct
• 55:14
  Speaker 4: B to B business and business dope.
• 55:17
  Speaker 3: So that was a lot of information. But I just
• 55:19
  Speaker 3: got one last question before we go into our last segment,
• 55:22
  Speaker 3: virtual assistant. I saw you mentioned that on your YouTube channel.
• 55:27
  Speaker 3: Can you just give some information on virtual assistance and
• 55:31
  Speaker 3: how you're actually utilizing that.
• 55:32
  Speaker 4: Yeah. Yeah, so vas or virtual assistants are like another
• 55:36
  Speaker 4: secret weapon in my business because the whole thing is
• 55:39
  Speaker 4: I follow This strategy is called the ASAP right, So
• 55:41
  Speaker 4: ASAP is an acronym. It stands for Autonomous, sustainable Action,
• 55:46
  Speaker 4: and perpetuity. So I'm always trying to find these four
• 55:48
  Speaker 4: things and actions in there. Because faith without works is dead.
• 55:51
  Speaker 4: You got to take action and you're not going to
• 55:53
  Speaker 4: get any results, right, So I'm always trying to find
• 55:55
  Speaker 4: out ways to automate and delegate and not participate. And
• 55:59
  Speaker 4: that's what if you go back to the beginning of
• 56:00
  Speaker 4: the story, Like my first mentor is always talking about
• 56:03
  Speaker 4: touch it.
• 56:03
  Speaker 5: Wait wait, wait, hold up, hold on, say that again.
• 56:05
  Speaker 6: You said automate, delegate and not participate.
• 56:08
  Speaker 4: Hey, I'm trying to find ways to automate and delegate
• 56:11
  Speaker 4: and not participate. I'm always asking myself, is this the
• 56:14
  Speaker 4: highest and best use of my time and energy? Like,
• 56:17
  Speaker 4: you want to become a millionaire, you got to think
• 56:19
  Speaker 4: like a millionaire. You want to become a billionaire, you
• 56:21
  Speaker 4: got to think like a billionaire. And they're always they
• 56:23
  Speaker 4: value their time more than anything and they will trade
• 56:25
  Speaker 4: money for time ten times out of ten. So I'm
• 56:28
  Speaker 4: always thinking of ways to scale the business and scale
• 56:31
  Speaker 4: the velocity and the volume in our business without scaling
• 56:34
  Speaker 4: the amount of energy and time it needs for me.
• 56:37
  Speaker 4: So the way I'm able to scale my company is
• 56:40
  Speaker 4: by taking the reputitious duties that need to be done
• 56:42
  Speaker 4: and by outsourcing it for pennies on the dollar for employees.
• 56:45
  Speaker 4: So many people think that they got to do everything,
• 56:48
  Speaker 4: they got to wear every hat because they can't afford
• 56:50
  Speaker 4: to hire an employee. But there's vas in all the
• 56:53
  Speaker 4: top companies Fortune five hundred companies like Ge, like Apple,
• 56:57
  Speaker 4: all these large companies, they use virtual assistance. And a
• 57:00
  Speaker 4: lot of you guys who hear this right now, you're
• 57:01
  Speaker 4: gonna be like like man, I was on the phone
• 57:04
  Speaker 4: on customer support with this large company and it was
• 57:06
  Speaker 4: someone who barely spoke English. And that's how they're able
• 57:09
  Speaker 4: to do this is by using these vas, which are
• 57:11
  Speaker 4: employees in other countries. So the best country that I
• 57:15
  Speaker 4: have found that's not only very very affordable, but they
• 57:18
  Speaker 4: are very loyal and very hard workers is workers out
• 57:21
  Speaker 4: of the Philippines. So you can go to online jobs
• 57:24
  Speaker 4: dot pH and you can hire virtual assistants to do
• 57:27
  Speaker 4: daily tasks to help you with your business anywhere between
• 57:30
  Speaker 4: a dollar fifty per hour and five dollars per hour,
• 57:33
  Speaker 4: depending on what they're doing, a majority of my virtual
• 57:35
  Speaker 4: assistants are at two dollars and fifty cents per hour USD.
• 57:39
  Speaker 4: They work forty hours. And the beautiful thing on top
• 57:42
  Speaker 4: of being able to hire people in your company who
• 57:44
  Speaker 4: are loyal and hard working is if you're in America
• 57:49
  Speaker 4: and like right now, it's twelve o'clock in the afternoon.
• 57:51
  Speaker 4: Well in the Philippines, it's like twelve o'clock at night
• 57:54
  Speaker 4: or eight o'clock at night. So while I'm sleeping, our
• 57:58
  Speaker 4: other employees in other countries are actually working. So now
• 58:01
  Speaker 4: our company is operating twenty four seven, three sixty five
• 58:04
  Speaker 4: instead of twelve hours out the day or eight hours
• 58:06
  Speaker 4: out the day. So that's two key components to scaling.
• 58:09
  Speaker 4: Is number one, you're able to automate and delegate instead
• 58:12
  Speaker 4: of you actually participating doing reputationous stuff. Because if you're
• 58:16
  Speaker 4: doing reputations stuff that you can easily delegate, you're working
• 58:19
  Speaker 4: for your company and not on your company. So and
• 58:22
  Speaker 4: this took me years. Like I've made millions of dollars
• 58:25
  Speaker 4: across my three companies, I've made millions of dollars. And
• 58:28
  Speaker 4: it was a combination is as entrepreneurs, we're control freaks.
• 58:31
  Speaker 4: It's like our baby, it's like our child, Like we
• 58:34
  Speaker 4: built this thing up and we want control of everything.
• 58:36
  Speaker 4: So it's hard to give it to someone else knowing
• 58:39
  Speaker 4: they're not going to care for it the way that
• 58:41
  Speaker 4: you would. They're going to treat it, you know what
• 58:42
  Speaker 4: I mean, They're not going to treat it the way
• 58:43
  Speaker 4: that you would. So it's difficult. But on the odverse
• 58:47
  Speaker 4: side of that, you have to understand in order to
• 58:49
  Speaker 4: scale that you have to be able to delegate. And
• 58:52
  Speaker 4: that's like a key thing. Like you guys got to
• 58:54
  Speaker 4: focus on working on your business instead of for your business.
• 58:58
  Speaker 4: So now, like I'm an avid believe we're in the
• 59:00
  Speaker 4: eighty twenty rule. I tell people this all the time.
• 59:02
  Speaker 4: Eighty percent of the profits, eighty percent of the momentum,
• 59:05
  Speaker 4: eighty percent of the results comes from twenty percent of
• 59:07
  Speaker 4: the effort. And now I can get more done in
• 59:10
  Speaker 4: less time now than before. When I was following the
• 59:12
  Speaker 4: Gary Vee, Like, I was working sixteen hours a day,
• 59:15
  Speaker 4: twenty hours a day hustling, and I would literally get
• 59:17
  Speaker 4: depressed if I didn't fall asleep at my computer because
• 59:20
  Speaker 4: I thought I wasn't doing everything I could, you know,
• 59:23
  Speaker 4: to accomplish my why, which was helping my family out.
• 59:26
  Speaker 4: Like I told you, guys, But now you can work smart,
• 59:28
  Speaker 4: not hard, and by being productive. There's a huge difference
• 59:31
  Speaker 4: between being productive and being busy. See, I thought being
• 59:35
  Speaker 4: busy was being productive. Now by through time management and
• 59:38
  Speaker 4: virtual assistance and you know, just keeping track of everything
• 59:41
  Speaker 4: and using software as like Slack and Traillo, which are
• 59:44
  Speaker 4: management tools. I'm able to be productive and accomplish way
• 59:47
  Speaker 4: much more and less time, which means I could spend
• 59:49
  Speaker 4: that time with my kids, with my wife, or working
• 59:52
  Speaker 4: on other things.
• 59:53
  Speaker 2: Not I was powerful.
• 59:54
  Speaker 4: Man.
• 59:54
  Speaker 3: That was a lot of information, a whole lot of games.
• 59:57
  Speaker 3: So we about to bring it home in the last segment.
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 3: So in the last second, we're going to talk about education.
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 3: And you know, it's really weird because we bring a
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 3: bunch of people on the podcast and all different walks
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 3: of life and all different businesses. And you know, the
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 3: one thing I always were puzzled about is that people
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 3: like spend tens of thousands of dollars in college and
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 3: they learn from business professors that most of the time,
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 3: the people that are teaching these professors teachers, they never
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 3: actually did what they are teaching.
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 5: Everybody can tell you how to do it.
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 4: They did.
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 3: They just study business, so they teaching you about business,
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 3: but they were never in business themselves. Right, But you
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 3: never really think to question your college professor about the
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 3: nonsense that he's teaching you. And then it's like an
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 3: entrepreneur who might not even have a college degree, but
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 3: it's a millionaire who've made a bunch of money, who's
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 3: successful in their business, and they start a course to
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 3: teach other people. People are very skeptical about that, Like
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 3: I see that a lot, especially online. So it's just
• 1:00:59
  Speaker 3: inter because I feel like you have to invest in
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 3: your business. And we talked about this all the time,
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 3: and I feel like, no matter what, the podcast is
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 3: a great resource, and YouTube is a great resource. Google
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 3: is a great resource. But if you're really serious about
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 3: starting a business, like if you have no idea about
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 3: anything at all and you're just trying to become you know,
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 3: a trucker, even you know, four hours of a podcast
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 3: probably isn't enough information. You probably want to pay one
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 3: thousand dollars two thousand dollars to actually learn how to
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 3: do it right. So but it's still interesting because people
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 3: don't really pay a lot of times for education, and
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 3: they make you make way more mistakes when you don't pay,
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 3: because now you're just paying with experience and time, whereas
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 3: if you actually paid and went through the proper educational channel,
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 3: then you actually become a success.
• 1:01:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah, because yeah, it's the same Like I said, it's
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 2: the same thing with school. People have to look at
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 2: it from school.
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 3: I think we're just trained and we feel comfortable with
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 3: school because that's like tradition and that's what we're used to. Whereas,
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 3: like you know, untraditional forms of learning, like learning from
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 3: an entrepreneur stuff like that. A lot of people are
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 3: kind of skeptical and they don't really believe they want
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 3: to do it themselves. But it's like, would you just say, Okay,
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 3: I watch YouTube for an hour and now I can
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 3: be a doctor, Like probably not qualify to give open
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 3: heart surgical de yeah, probably got go to medical school.
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 3: So and then I always realized that for me, entrepreneurs
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 3: that teach people they're interesting too, because it's like they
• 1:02:33
  Speaker 3: made money in their business already, they don't necessarily have
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 3: to teach. Of course, teaching is a business as well.
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 3: We never apologize about making money. That's the whole point
• 1:02:40
  Speaker 3: of any formal business. You should always get paid for
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 3: any service that you do, as long as it's done well.
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 3: But I'm just curious to when entrepreneurs decide to teach
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 3: other people. So you you're interesting because you come from
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 3: humble beginnings. Then you made a boatload of money, You
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 3: made millions of dollars, So at what point did you
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 3: decide that having money and being successful wasn't good enough
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 3: and you wanted to actually start teaching because you have
• 1:03:06
  Speaker 3: a whole educational portal and you teach people how to
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 3: do this. So yeah, what was your thought processing and
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 3: journey into doing that?
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 4: Yeah? Absolutely so. First and foremost, I understood the sorority
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 4: that a formal education will earn you a living and
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 4: self education will earn you a fortune. The only difference
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 4: between where I was five years ago in twenty fourteen,
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 4: the beginning of twenty fifteen making bare minimum wage, not
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 4: being able to barely survive and put a roof over
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 4: my family's head or food on the plate, and now
• 1:03:36
  Speaker 4: where I am, you know, a self made millionaire before thirty.
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 4: The only difference is the information, right, and I understood
• 1:03:42
  Speaker 4: that information changes situations, but only through implementation. I understood
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 4: that was the lack. The reason why people love school
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 4: is because you're in a school setting and you're forced
• 1:03:51
  Speaker 4: to actually implement. That's why so many actual entrepreneurs fail
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 4: is because when they get started, they give up too early.
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 4: So the one main word that made me want to
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 4: get into the educational space and start teaching with the
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 4: AMZ formula's impact right, The AMZ formula was my formula.
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 4: I created it for myself. You know, It's made me
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 4: millions of dollars, so I knew it was tried and
• 1:04:12
  Speaker 4: true because I was doing it myself. And the reason
• 1:04:14
  Speaker 4: why I got into this space is because impact, not
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 4: because of the income, because my real estate, my actual
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 4: Amazon business, and my other businesses generate my full time income.
• 1:04:24
  Speaker 4: And to be completely honest, the education actually cannibalizes what
• 1:04:28
  Speaker 4: I was telling you guys about spending less time and
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 4: making more money because my education requires more of my
• 1:04:34
  Speaker 4: time than my other businesses they're generating income. Twenty four
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 4: seven three sixty five. But at a certain point in
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 4: your career you have to understand what impact is and
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 4: what self fulfillment is. See so many people they don't
• 1:04:48
  Speaker 4: have X amount of money or they haven't accomplished enough
• 1:04:50
  Speaker 4: things on their bucket list, so their main priority is
• 1:04:53
  Speaker 4: money because they think that'll end everything. And being twenty
• 1:04:56
  Speaker 4: seven twenty eight years old, self made millionaire, lost everything
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 4: off on my bucket list, retired, my moms, retired, my wife,
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 4: set my kids up with trust funds, traveled all around
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 4: the world, money in the bank, forty plus investment properties,
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 4: and I found myself sitting in my leven room, like
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 4: severely depressed, almost contemplating suicide, like like what do I
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 4: have left to do? What is left to do? I
• 1:05:19
  Speaker 4: did everything, And so many people think that money buys happiness,
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 4: and I'm telling you, I bought everything that I ever wanted,
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 4: that I ever dreamt of, and I was depressed, man,
• 1:05:28
  Speaker 4: And it all boils down to happiness comes from within.
• 1:05:31
  Speaker 4: It comes from within, and things that you do that
• 1:05:34
  Speaker 4: self fulfilling. So it wasn't until I remembered me praying
• 1:05:37
  Speaker 4: to God literally, like God, show me something other than
• 1:05:40
  Speaker 4: the streets, show me something other than what I'm doing,
• 1:05:42
  Speaker 4: to help me change my family's life, and I'll do whatever.
• 1:05:45
  Speaker 4: Like I remember like trying to barter with God, like
• 1:05:47
  Speaker 4: help me out, and like it just clicked and I
• 1:05:51
  Speaker 4: had an epiphany and I said, you know what, let
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 4: me just start a personal brand. When I started my
• 1:05:55
  Speaker 4: personal brand, I did it with zero intention of creating software,
• 1:05:59
  Speaker 4: creating an online educational platform or nothing like that. I
• 1:06:02
  Speaker 4: just wanted to give my gift away and I wanted
• 1:06:05
  Speaker 4: to be a blessing to others. And it so rapidly
• 1:06:07
  Speaker 4: grew that people off the information I had where their
• 1:06:10
  Speaker 4: lives were changing all around the world, and it felt good,
• 1:06:14
  Speaker 4: like it sparked that. It sparked that feeling in me.
• 1:06:17
  Speaker 4: When I had my first salor, when I made my
• 1:06:19
  Speaker 4: first million, it sparked that spark again, and I was like, Wow,
• 1:06:22
  Speaker 4: maybe this is what I was meant to do. So
• 1:06:24
  Speaker 4: the rest was all downhill from there. I've been teaching
• 1:06:27
  Speaker 4: people and literally we have students in sixty three plus
• 1:06:29
  Speaker 4: different countries, thousands of students, and I do this because
• 1:06:32
  Speaker 4: of the impact, not the income. So and I love it.
• 1:06:34
  Speaker 4: I'm passionate about it. If you can't tell by this podcast.
• 1:06:38
  Speaker 3: Nah, Like I said, you know, I'm a big proponent
• 1:06:41
  Speaker 3: in education and all forms of education. I'm not anti
• 1:06:45
  Speaker 3: formal education, but I just feel like, you know, a
• 1:06:47
  Speaker 3: lot of times, especially in this country, we're only taught
• 1:06:50
  Speaker 3: to think that the only way that you can actually
• 1:06:52
  Speaker 3: learn is through the traditional school system. And I don't
• 1:06:56
  Speaker 3: know how many times we have to realize that school
• 1:06:58
  Speaker 3: system is broke, and you know, unfortunately for the vast
• 1:07:01
  Speaker 3: majority of people, that's not going to be enough. You
• 1:07:04
  Speaker 3: need to learn outside of that. And that's even why
• 1:07:06
  Speaker 3: we have Eyo University, and there's a bunch of other platforms.
• 1:07:09
  Speaker 3: But you know, it's really interesting. Like I said, if
• 1:07:12
  Speaker 3: people think about it, people won't bad and I at
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 3: taking out student loans and you know, ruining their future
• 1:07:19
  Speaker 3: for money that they don't have to pay for a
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 3: degree that will amount to nothing, you know. Communications. The
• 1:07:28
  Speaker 3: reason why I say communications degree is I have communications exact,
• 1:07:32
  Speaker 3: I'm lucky enough to not have to use my degree.
• 1:07:35
  Speaker 3: I'm an entrepreneur. But so I'm not bashing anybody has
• 1:07:37
  Speaker 3: a communications degree. I just I have a communications degree,
• 1:07:40
  Speaker 3: and if I wasn't an entrepreneur, I'd be royally screwed
• 1:07:42
  Speaker 3: right now. So you know, what is it as far
• 1:07:47
  Speaker 3: as that is concerned, Because yeah, you know, you have
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 3: a generic degree like communications or something like that, philosophy,
• 1:07:55
  Speaker 3: and you go out in the world and you get
• 1:07:57
  Speaker 3: a piece of paper and it's like good luck, and
• 1:08:00
  Speaker 3: you know, let's hope that it works out for you.
• 1:08:02
  Speaker 4: Really, that's all it is, right right. People often say
• 1:08:05
  Speaker 4: it's a scam. You know, it's a scam, and it's
• 1:08:07
  Speaker 4: because it's going against the grain, it's going against the norm.
• 1:08:09
  Speaker 4: You're gonna get resistance whenever you go against the grain,
• 1:08:12
  Speaker 4: like we were talking earlier about just being able to
• 1:08:14
  Speaker 4: do this and why, Like I was telling you what
• 1:08:16
  Speaker 4: my family and even my parents were saying about this.
• 1:08:19
  Speaker 4: You know, our generation before us and the generation before
• 1:08:22
  Speaker 4: them didn't have this opportunity. It did not exist. So
• 1:08:26
  Speaker 4: when you're going against the norm, when you're going against
• 1:08:28
  Speaker 4: the grain and there's a new opportunity and it sounds
• 1:08:30
  Speaker 4: too good to be true, people think that it's a
• 1:08:32
  Speaker 4: scam because it does sound too good to be true. Everybody,
• 1:08:35
  Speaker 4: there was two ways. You get an education, or you
• 1:08:38
  Speaker 4: learn a skill set. You're a doctor or a mechanic
• 1:08:41
  Speaker 4: or a construction worker or that's it. That was basically
• 1:08:46
  Speaker 4: the options that the people before us, our parents and
• 1:08:48
  Speaker 4: our parents and our grandparents had. There was no other options.
• 1:08:51
  Speaker 4: My grandfather worked in the steel mill, lost his hearing
• 1:08:54
  Speaker 4: you'd work there his entire life. You know, a lot
• 1:08:56
  Speaker 4: of our parents work at the same job and then
• 1:08:58
  Speaker 4: they retire. Changed, right, Communications have changed, Electronics have change,
• 1:09:04
  Speaker 4: and the opportunity is changed along with it. And just
• 1:09:07
  Speaker 4: like you said, going back to the school, I just
• 1:09:08
  Speaker 4: think it's crazy that so many people, like we call
• 1:09:11
  Speaker 4: it the forty forty plan, so people literally spend forty
• 1:09:15
  Speaker 4: thousand dollars working forty years of their life to retire
• 1:09:17
  Speaker 4: on forty percent of what they were making while they
• 1:09:20
  Speaker 4: were working. And that's supposed to be okay. If you
• 1:09:22
  Speaker 4: ask me, that's a scam because the person you're learning from,
• 1:09:25
  Speaker 4: the professor you're learning from, is not invested in your
• 1:09:28
  Speaker 4: well interests. Their name is not associated to the curriculum
• 1:09:31
  Speaker 4: that they're teaching, and nine times out of ten, man
• 1:09:33
  Speaker 4: to be honest, that curriculum is outdated and it's impersonal.
• 1:09:38
  Speaker 4: Like I believe the reason why I dropped out of
• 1:09:39
  Speaker 4: high school wasn't because I was bad or I was dumb.
• 1:09:42
  Speaker 4: I think that it's not fair that you throw thirty
• 1:09:45
  Speaker 4: forty people in a classroom that all have different learning
• 1:09:48
  Speaker 4: sets and different learning preferences, and you force them to
• 1:09:51
  Speaker 4: learn the same way. I don't think it's right, and
• 1:09:54
  Speaker 4: that's why, Like, you know, the only difference between where
• 1:09:57
  Speaker 4: I was and where I was now is learning that
• 1:09:59
  Speaker 4: skill set. Like, if you want increase your income, increase
• 1:10:01
  Speaker 4: your skill set. It's that simple. So I'm a practitioner
• 1:10:04
  Speaker 4: of education mentorship all the time. I'm constantly flying around
• 1:10:09
  Speaker 4: the world to learn from some of the best. It's
• 1:10:11
  Speaker 4: the fastest way to fast track your success. Like, if
• 1:10:13
  Speaker 4: you want to fast track your success and learn something,
• 1:10:16
  Speaker 4: you just learn from someone who's done it. It's like
• 1:10:18
  Speaker 4: the GPS. Like when we travel, I get off the
• 1:10:20
  Speaker 4: plane and I'm somewhere. I don't know where I'm at.
• 1:10:22
  Speaker 4: I enter in the instructions to the GPS to my hotel.
• 1:10:26
  Speaker 4: Why do we use a GPS because it's going to
• 1:10:28
  Speaker 4: take us somewhere we've never been with no confusion. We're
• 1:10:30
  Speaker 4: not going to get lost, We're not going to waste gas.
• 1:10:33
  Speaker 4: It's the same thing like education is the GPS to
• 1:10:35
  Speaker 4: start in that business and being successful.
• 1:10:38
  Speaker 6: Yeah, it's tough to argue with y'all when y'all talking
• 1:10:40
  Speaker 6: about education man as somebody who's in the profession man,
• 1:10:43
  Speaker 6: which I'll say is one thousand percent right. But I'm
• 1:10:46
  Speaker 6: interested in knowing how you were able to scale this right, So,
• 1:10:49
  Speaker 6: I know you started out with a to z in
• 1:10:52
  Speaker 6: Amazon and now you have the Amazon formula. What was
• 1:10:55
  Speaker 6: your methods to scaling this business and growing it so fast?
• 1:10:58
  Speaker 6: You went to sixty three countries, over ten thousand students,
• 1:11:01
  Speaker 6: you made millions?
• 1:11:02
  Speaker 5: What was the strategy?
• 1:11:04
  Speaker 4: So the way that we scaled. The education piece is
• 1:11:06
  Speaker 4: just through literally focused Before we scaled and we allowed
• 1:11:09
  Speaker 4: the company to scale, we focused on the consumer and
• 1:11:12
  Speaker 4: what the consumer needs. And since this was an education
• 1:11:14
  Speaker 4: business that was based around something that I've already done,
• 1:11:18
  Speaker 4: I knew exactly what you needed. So it was just
• 1:11:20
  Speaker 4: dialing in on making sure that everybody got the attention
• 1:11:23
  Speaker 4: that they needed, letting in beta students, going through the program,
• 1:11:27
  Speaker 4: going through the entire process, helping them get results, and
• 1:11:30
  Speaker 4: then getting feedback. Like one of the main things that
• 1:11:33
  Speaker 4: we do that a lot of people don't do and
• 1:11:35
  Speaker 4: I thought it was I almost didn't do it. I
• 1:11:37
  Speaker 4: thought it was fluff and I was like, I don't
• 1:11:39
  Speaker 4: know if I should do this is add a lot
• 1:11:40
  Speaker 4: of mindset stuff to the program. We had a lot
• 1:11:43
  Speaker 4: of mindset stuff to the program. Another way we were
• 1:11:45
  Speaker 4: able to scale this and get have such a high
• 1:11:47
  Speaker 4: student success ratio is because of the live coaching. Instead
• 1:11:51
  Speaker 4: of just a portal or a program that you go
• 1:11:53
  Speaker 4: and you know, good luck, there's actually live chat rooms
• 1:11:56
  Speaker 4: that are active twenty four seven, three sixty five. There's
• 1:11:59
  Speaker 4: live bi weekly coaching. So like the coaches and myself,
• 1:12:02
  Speaker 4: everybody was literally getting feedback from everybody. When somebody was
• 1:12:05
  Speaker 4: stuck or became complacent, we got that feedback and then
• 1:12:09
  Speaker 4: we added systems, We added curriculum, we added different modules,
• 1:12:13
  Speaker 4: different areas of homework, things to help those people. So
• 1:12:16
  Speaker 4: just perfecting that over the last few years, going back,
• 1:12:19
  Speaker 4: diving into everything, dialing everything in is how we were
• 1:12:22
  Speaker 4: able to scale. And once we had the infrastructure set
• 1:12:24
  Speaker 4: up and our success rate was where we wanted it
• 1:12:27
  Speaker 4: to be, then we were able to scale it. And
• 1:12:29
  Speaker 4: we scaled it through through web classes, through presentations, through speaking,
• 1:12:33
  Speaker 4: and just through my personal brand.
• 1:12:35
  Speaker 3: So what are you teaching a program? Like if somebody
• 1:12:37
  Speaker 3: enrolls in the program, what are the things that they
• 1:12:40
  Speaker 3: learn and what are the steps that are provided to
• 1:12:43
  Speaker 3: help them get up and run in?
• 1:12:45
  Speaker 4: Yeah, so the AMZ formula is perfect, irregardless if you're
• 1:12:48
  Speaker 4: a beginner and you're just starting and today was the
• 1:12:50
  Speaker 4: first time that you ever heard about Amazon, or if
• 1:12:53
  Speaker 4: you're already at five figures and you want to get
• 1:12:55
  Speaker 4: to six or beyond seven, right, because it teaches you
• 1:12:58
  Speaker 4: everything in a chronological order, just like a book. So
• 1:13:01
  Speaker 4: you start with the introduction the acronyms, what is the business,
• 1:13:04
  Speaker 4: how does the business work? Then you move on to
• 1:13:07
  Speaker 4: product research. From product research, we go on to verifying
• 1:13:12
  Speaker 4: and validating the products. Then we go on to the
• 1:13:15
  Speaker 4: next setting, which is going to be how to find
• 1:13:16
  Speaker 4: the supplier, how to contact suppliers, how to negotiate, how
• 1:13:20
  Speaker 4: to make sure that you know your money is secured,
• 1:13:23
  Speaker 4: your investments secure that you're not getting scammed, the entire
• 1:13:26
  Speaker 4: the entire process. Then we move on to getting our
• 1:13:29
  Speaker 4: products checked into the fulfillment center and doing the micro
• 1:13:32
  Speaker 4: launches where we spoke about the proprietary section on how
• 1:13:36
  Speaker 4: you can literally profit on a failed product using this strategy,
• 1:13:39
  Speaker 4: we want a micro launch it instead of doing the
• 1:13:42
  Speaker 4: opposite of we're literally doing the opposite of what everybody's doing.
• 1:13:44
  Speaker 4: Instead of getting our photos professionally taken and spending a
• 1:13:47
  Speaker 4: bunch of money, we're getting it to Amazon as quickly
• 1:13:50
  Speaker 4: as possible to get real data once it passes the
• 1:13:54
  Speaker 4: micro launch. Then we move on to skyrocket and scale,
• 1:13:56
  Speaker 4: which is how we literally scale that brand and we
• 1:14:00
  Speaker 4: ail our business by ordering more products, reducing the product
• 1:14:03
  Speaker 4: costs by renegotiating, increasing the quality through pictures, through branding,
• 1:14:08
  Speaker 4: using exterior branding methods like influencers that we talked about
• 1:14:12
  Speaker 4: and then we talk about the longevity aspects. So every
• 1:14:16
  Speaker 4: business should have a plan. And this is not a hustle.
• 1:14:18
  Speaker 4: And this is why I told you guys, I fell
• 1:14:20
  Speaker 4: in love with this business. I was tired of hustling.
• 1:14:22
  Speaker 4: This is a real business, so irregardless, if you want
• 1:14:25
  Speaker 4: to leave this business to your kids, grandchildren, whomever, or
• 1:14:28
  Speaker 4: you want to exit it, you need to have that strategy.
• 1:14:30
  Speaker 4: So we share with you how to get an evaluation
• 1:14:32
  Speaker 4: for your company, what you need to do to actually
• 1:14:35
  Speaker 4: increase the evaluation of your company and make it a
• 1:14:37
  Speaker 4: legitimate company. Your URL, your trademark, your copyright, the entire thing.
• 1:14:41
  Speaker 4: And then actually where to go to sell your company
• 1:14:44
  Speaker 4: if you want to sell your company. So we literally
• 1:14:47
  Speaker 4: from start to finish, show you how what the business is,
• 1:14:50
  Speaker 4: how to start the business, how to find the products,
• 1:14:52
  Speaker 4: and then how to exit that company down the road
• 1:14:55
  Speaker 4: or know how to set your company up to thrive
• 1:14:59
  Speaker 4: in the future. Hiring VAS if you want to automate this,
• 1:15:02
  Speaker 4: If your goal is just to make ten thousand dollars
• 1:15:04
  Speaker 4: a month or whatever it is, we show you how
• 1:15:06
  Speaker 4: to automate it through VAS. If your goal is to
• 1:15:08

  Speaker 4: We show you how to reverse engineer that and how
• 1:15:12
  Speaker 4: to build it. If your goal is just to create
• 1:15:14
  Speaker 4: something that's going to make some money to get into
• 1:15:15
  Speaker 4: another endeavor, we show you how to do everything. So
• 1:15:18
  Speaker 4: it's literally perfect for everybody at any scenario.
• 1:15:20
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I like what you said right there, was like,
• 1:15:23
  Speaker 3: you know, if you want to just earn ten thousand
• 1:15:25
  Speaker 3: dollars a month, that's the kind of talk I like
• 1:15:28
  Speaker 3: right there, Like that's like being a minimum. It's like
• 1:15:31
  Speaker 3: what we're talking about, that's minimum. That's minimum pay right there,
• 1:15:34
  Speaker 3: ten thousand a month, And that's what we always say.
• 1:15:37
  Speaker 3: That's why I say one hundred thousand. If it's not
• 1:15:38
  Speaker 3: a one hundred thousand, we ain't rocking with it. So yeah,
• 1:15:42
  Speaker 3: if you just want to make ten thousand, I like that.
• 1:15:44
  Speaker 3: That's that's the kind of that's the kind of talk.
• 1:15:46
  Speaker 3: I love talk.
• 1:15:47
  Speaker 2: That's big boy talk right there.
• 1:15:49
  Speaker 3: So so yeah, you know, it's really dope because whenever,
• 1:15:53
  Speaker 3: you know, we bring different people on, and a lot
• 1:15:55
  Speaker 3: of people do have courses, and we always you know,
• 1:15:58
  Speaker 3: are number one probably already is ey L, the community,
• 1:16:03
  Speaker 3: ey L community. So whenever we talked to people that
• 1:16:06
  Speaker 3: have courses, we always try to get you know, a
• 1:16:08
  Speaker 3: special offer if we can. We need like if they
• 1:16:11
  Speaker 3: got a discount going, we need a discount plus some.
• 1:16:14
  Speaker 3: So you know, I spoke to you about it, and
• 1:16:16
  Speaker 3: you know, I asked you, like, you know, could you
• 1:16:18
  Speaker 3: do a special deal for us? And you was gracious
• 1:16:20
  Speaker 3: enough to you know, lower the price even lower than
• 1:16:23
  Speaker 3: what it was. And I think you have we have
• 1:16:25
  Speaker 3: a special arrangement with ey L where we have a
• 1:16:29
  Speaker 3: lower price, and I think anybody else nowhere else on
• 1:16:31
  Speaker 3: the internet can you get your package as low as
• 1:16:34
  Speaker 3: you're going to get it from our link. So I
• 1:16:37
  Speaker 3: appreciate that because, like I said, you know, we had
• 1:16:39
  Speaker 3: a couple of conversations. I kind of just explained to
• 1:16:41
  Speaker 3: you why, you know, it's important that we try to
• 1:16:44
  Speaker 3: get the price as low as possible for our people.
• 1:16:47
  Speaker 3: And you know, to your credit, you was a gentleman
• 1:16:50
  Speaker 3: about it. You had no problem and we worked it out.
• 1:16:52
  Speaker 3: So can you can you tell the people like the deal?
• 1:16:55
  Speaker 3: Because like I said, I think we have the lowest
• 1:16:57
  Speaker 3: price on the market.
• 1:16:58
  Speaker 4: Right, absolutely special, So first and foremost, like I was
• 1:17:02
  Speaker 4: blessed and just humbled to be on here. This is
• 1:17:04
  Speaker 4: like an accomplishment for me to be able to speak
• 1:17:06
  Speaker 4: get back to the community because this is what I
• 1:17:08
  Speaker 4: want to do. So it was perfect timing when you
• 1:17:11
  Speaker 4: reached out to me, because we literally just re recorded
• 1:17:14
  Speaker 4: the entire program and relaunched the AMZ Formula remasters. So
• 1:17:18
  Speaker 4: it's seventy plus videos, two dozen resources, bi weekly coaching

• 1:17:30
  Speaker 4: point for the AMZ Formula with everything that was in
• 1:17:34
  Speaker 4: the remastered section is nineteen ninety seven. So what we
• 1:17:37
  Speaker 4: did is we left it at fifty percent off for
• 1:17:39
  Speaker 4: nine ninety seven. But I said, you know what, fifty
• 1:17:41
  Speaker 4: percent off isn't good enough. We need to do something
• 1:17:44
  Speaker 4: special for the eyl fams. So what we did is
• 1:17:47
  Speaker 4: we created the funnel, moved everything separately, and even got
• 1:17:50
  Speaker 4: our own special domain, which is eylfba dot com. So
• 1:17:54
  Speaker 4: on top of the fifty percent off, we knocked another
