 Well, we're back. Some of you may have just seen my latest video that just premiered and normally premiere on Sunday, but just decided to do it here today. So that's what we did. Should I wear the glasses? No. Hello, Dean. What do you think? Oh gosh, my. It's Friday. Not that I don't love what I do because I do. And in fact, yeah, I generally feel like, okay, crap, it's Friday. I didn't get everything done, you know, because I want to. And I try not to work on the weekends, even though I could, because I love it. Okay, what? Why is it like I look at the screen and it's opposite? So, okay. How's everyone? It's like, clearly, I haven't talked a lot today. So if you don't know, I just got back from a 10 day trip to the South Island and amazing. Like, if I'm being honest, I wasn't totally looking forward to it because I was tired and just like, I don't know that I could be bothered with all this. And sometimes it's good and sometimes it's not. But I did, we did some tramping in Mount Cook, which was my favorite. What the heck is that place? I think all the other times that I tried to go, it's very touchy because, you know, sometimes you can't see the mountain or the weather, just like the two days before we went about the weather was horrible. And then we were, we literally left a day early because the weather was coming in. So we're like, and we're out because we're camping. And yeah, so you kind of got, it's kind of hit or miss. And so you should definitely go but it's hit or miss. It was highlight, the picture that I have on the slide that was me walking to the hut. Amazing. What do you guys think of huts? Do you stay in the huts? We don't generally stay in the huts. We'll book like, normally the huts will have like campsites next to it and we'll book that because it's weird. But as we were walking to the hut, we ran into some people that couldn't stay and they gave us their spot. And let me tell you, I was happy for that. I was happy for a bed and not being outside in the rain. So in the cold, it was really cold, like really cold. And so I was like, oh my gosh, thank goodness for the hut. Now I know why people do this. So yeah. So anyway, let's talk a little bit about the digital economy. Like, what do you think? Like, are you guys involved in the digital economy? Are you on social? Do you have businesses? Like, where are you? Like, do you use AI? Do you use AI in everything that you do? Because I do. I mean, it's so funny because I get so many compliments from people. Oh, I really like this video or I really like this and yep, five minutes on AI. That's what it was. I mean, even with my marketing clients, like, here you go. Oh, nice. Oh, that'll be fun. So yeah, I'm just like, oh my gosh, how are people not doing this? How do people just not have YouTube channels? How do you not have a YouTube channel? I don't, I don't even watch YouTube. When people asked me to be on YouTube, my TikTok community, they were like, please be on YouTube. We need more long form content. This was before TikTok had anything past 60 seconds. And so I was like, oh, I guess I could do that. I'm like, but I don't want a video edit. I don't, you know, and so I just did. I just didn't listen to my own beliefs about something that I never did, because it's what I always tell my kids. Like, I don't want to hear about you not wanting to do it if you haven't tried it. So I tried it and it's the best platform out there. So quickest way to make money. I mean, I was monetized in four months. I mean, sometimes it takes a year, but I think that the restrictions are lower now. Yeah, they've lowered them making it easier to be monetized. So you can literally go on YouTube, talk about whatever the heck you want, and you can get paid for it. And you don't have to change what you're talking about. You just have to talk about something. I mean, what the heck is this world? You know, I mean, it's a, it's definitely more effort and you need more patience to make significant money, but no investment, zero dollars, nothing. It's crazy, you guys. Welcome, Victoria. So yeah, how's it going? So I have a lot of people, if you guys are moving to New Zealand, a lot of people are coming into my membership right now. Like, I just think everybody's flooding into the country because it's quite easy. There's a lot of visa options and a little bit easier than it has been in the past for people to come in. So get in to the membership if you want help with moving here, everything you need to know to set up life and thrive here, cultural training, access to me anytime you have a question. We're doing a live Q&A next week and I'll probably be having immigration teams join me online calls so that you can get all of your questions answered right there. So, and I'm capping it because I don't want to have too big of a community where I can't be personal and spend a lot of time so I'm, you know, it's going to close. So if you want it in, now's the time. Let's see, let's see, let's see. And I'm giving my community a free gift that I found on my trip in the South Island and so probably shouldn't have said that. That was going to be a surprise. Okay, we'll see if any of them watch this, then they'll know. It's okay, I'm not going to tell you what it is even though it's sitting right over there. And no, it's not one of my products, not my cookbook. There are some cookbooks left if you want one. Link is in my description. Let's see what else. I am going to offer, and this is true and it's not public yet. I'm going to offer 10 spots of 30 minutes of marketing strategy one on one with somebody with 10 people at cheap like 20 bucks because I can't stand what I'm seeing out there. It's like really bothering me. I've been coaching in marketing for, well, I mean, I've been teaching it my whole life, but I've been coaching mainly businesses in New Zealand and oh my gosh, I have no idea. But like the, the success that they've had after actually having a strategy is enormous, enormous. In fact, one of my clients have maybe selling their business and it was because of their marketing. They were so impressed with them like because they looked at it as being cutting edge in New Zealand. It's not taken off like it has in other countries. And so like if you're on social media and you're doing things well, and you're putting yourself out there, you are winning. You are beating everybody else. So 10 people, that's it. Because what I'm going to do is it's not just 30 minutes, like you're going to send me your business and your handles and like your questions. And I'm going to do all the research before we meet just so that those 30 minutes are really helpful to you. And so I'm excited about that because I just don't, I've been hesitant to make my own digital marketing course because it doesn't always apply to everybody. And this is the problem is like, I don't want to be out like, oh, take this tiktok course, take this, you know, LinkedIn course, whatever. Because that may not be right for you. It may not make sense. I mean, I have clients who doesn't even make sense for them to be on social media because of what they do. And like, so it really just comes back to getting the right strategy. So if you have the right strategy, and then you can focus on the only the platforms that makes sense for you, where your audience is, and then it's not just social media. I generally talk mostly about organic marketing, but I mean, there is a place or paid ads for sure, especially if you're a product or you don't have much of an audience. But you got to be strategic about that. And there's so much cool software out there now in utilizing. And so also I train my clients on how to use AI to do it. Because well, you know, you don't have to know how to do it anymore. You don't have to hire a social media manager. Don't hire a social media manager, please. You know, how many of my clients try to make me be their social media managers. And like, I would be really good at it. This is why I was like, I would be really good at it. But it's almost like a parent to a child. I know that it's not what's best for you. And so I don't do it. You need to learn it yourself, because you don't want to have to always pay for it. And it's not necessary. And your audience needs to connect with you and not with me. And so, and I'm just like, oh, and so the whole like, I think I just struggle in the whole area of marketing, like, I just feel like there's so many cool, like digital products and courses that I could come out with. But I'm just bent on what I really believe to be true. And really, I can't, I'm not going to do something that or try to sell something that I don't truly believe in. And so that's why I've been to coaching, because coaching is like completely customizable to the to the person. And that's what you actually need. And so the first step in the coaching is the strategy is like, what should you be doing? And so that's why I'm going to do that. I'm going to give 10 people 20 bucks. I'm going to do a strategy for you. And you don't have to learn how to do it from me. There's a really great website called Google.com, YouTube.com, where you can say, okay, so if we come like, for example, let's let me just walk through this. If any of you have a business and want to just like put it in the chat, I'm happy to just kind of off the cuff, initial thoughts, just so I can use example for teaching. So let's say we decide that like Facebook and YouTube are the two channels that make sense for you and your social media. And in terms of your website, your messaging might need a little bit of work and your on site SEO might need a little bit of work. And so just having the 30 minute strategy call, where I tell you that that's what you should do. Because I have like an enormous amount of knowledge that I'm filtering through and then coming out with what you should do. So you don't have to do all that. You don't have to listen to somebody on TikTok is trying to sell you on TikTok ads or this, it might not make sense for you. So this is a point, this is the point. So I'm just going to tell you what it is that you need to do. And then then you could go to YouTube.com, Google.com and how to do really good Facebook, how to do a Facebook fan page, how to do a Facebook group, you know, it's all free. I'm not, you know, you can have me coach you, that's fine, but you don't need to like it can fit within your budget. Like I am, it'll take you a lot longer coming with somebody that has all of it. He just like in an hour just narrow it down is very valuable. Hello, hello. Today, the topic is the digital economy. And we are talking based on I just launched new YouTube video, you can watch it later on that. And so I'm just talking about the fact that I'm giving 10, what am I doing? 10 marketing strategy, 30 minute one-on-ones with me for 20 bucks. We're just going to go change because this is just me getting out there and just like helping. I just want to do that. I just want to do that. And then you can continue to coach with me if you want, but you don't need to. You don't need to. Like I'm, oh my gosh, I mean some people might need to, but anyway, that's, that's what I'm thinking. Sorry. New selfie stick. Oh, oh, oh, oh, I do this to torture my children. I pull this out and they freak out. It's so funny. Oh, let's do this on our trip. It's so funny. So a new way to torture your teenagers. Get one of these probably on Amazon for $10 or less. But this one's cool because do this. Where do we get this? I think I got this at the warehouse. Hold on. Yeah, the warehouse. Okay. Okay, here we go. So it's like a tripod. They're never very good. You know, like the real tripods are better like this. See how you could get started on social media like boom. You know, probably at the warehouse. This was probably like $50. Welcome to New Zealand. Okay. Any questions that you have about marketing, about New Zealand, about traveling? I've been helping a lot of people with their travel plans. So I might start like a consulting on travel because oh, people just need to know. I've been now officially everywhere in New Zealand, every region. So if you want to know where to go, some of the local secret spots, I should just do literally a digital product in all the local secret spots because I don't probably know all of them, but I know big ones and that would probably be cool actually. So many ideas.
