 Good morning, everybody. Welcome to Tuesday. Today's the 7th of September. I want to welcome everybody here today. We've got a really exciting week. I am going to be live all week long, a little sip here, and I'm going to be talking about building killer e-commerce sites for four days straight. That's all we're going to talk about. I'm going to go through 20 different things you can do so that by Friday you will know everything you need to know about building really killer million-dollar sites. This is not something that I'm guessing about. I've done it. We've done millions of dollars of sales online, and I want to share these things with you. I want you to know how to do these things, too. So for this entire week, I'm going to be sharing stuff with you, and you want to stay to the end today, because at the end today, I'm also going to give you a list of platforms that you need to use to build these sites. So stick around for that. Thank you so much, Paul, for letting me know that I can be heard out there. I do appreciate it. And guys, everybody is welcome to post in that chat section. I was not live yesterday. I was doing some honeydew stuff. I had to work on our garage and get it ready. We've built this garage area for some pets, and we're having more work done on it today. It's quite elaborate. Actually, my wife will be doing a video on what all she's put out there, but it's a home for cats that you can't believe. So it's going to be really cool. And on Saturday, let me announce this now so everybody knows, on Saturday, I'm doing a tribute to 9-Eleven, but it's really cool. I think you'd want to attend because I'm going to share with you a lot of things you probably didn't know about 9-Eleven, some facts. These are all facts, so there's no fiction to it. But these are all documented facts about 9-Eleven that a lot of us never knew. And don't know to this day, and some things are still happening that are related to 9-Eleven that are not in the news every day that they don't tell you about. And I want to share all those things with you. So 9-Eleven is a tribute this Saturday. That'll be at 10 a.m. And I toyed with doing it at 9-Eleven. And I thought, no, that's just overkill, overkill too much. So I'm just going to do it at 10 a.m. You guys are used to 10 a.m. on Saturdays. So Saturday, I will be doing a 9-Eleven tribute. So I think that's going to be pretty cool. I think you'll enjoy that. Like I said, guys, make use of the chat. Don't forget to subscribe if you haven't already subscribed. Make sure you ring the bell. Turn on all bell notifications so you're notified each and every time I go live. That way you won't miss anything and you won't have to go hunting for it. I think going hunting for stuff just waste so much time. It's like you're like, oh, there's nothing new yet. You won't have to worry about that because I'll notify you. Now, I want to talk about really an overall first on e-commerce websites. I started my e-commerce website in the very first one in 2009. And it's hard to believe that that was 12 years ago, but it was. And and I want to share with you some of the insights, you know, major marketplaces like Amazon and eBay are what, you know, I started with back then. And I got to tell you, it's changed a lot. I mean, they're really, really restrictive now. And if I was telling somebody back then what to do, I would have said, man, open an eBay store, you know, do that. Nowadays, I wouldn't say that. I would say stay away from eBay and Amazon. I would say that's not the way to go. But there's a whole lot more available to you today. And like I said, I'm going to give you some of the sites I think you should use. And I'll give you the pros and cons also before we end today. So you're going to know exactly what to do. But what I'm going to do is walk you through a bunch of steps. Like I say, there's 20 of these steps, I'm going to cover five each day, five today, tomorrow, the next day and the next day. And then Saturday will cap it off with, of course, the 9-11 tribute sellers with their own online store. So if you have your own online store, it's a whole different game. They have to complete control over the customer's experiences where you don't want to get eBay and Amazon, any of these other selling sites. And I know the selling catch or tool or, you know, I guess, advantage they tell you is that they drive traffic and they drive a lot of traffic. That's true. But there's so many sellers there that you still don't end up with more traffic. When with your own store, whether it's, you know, rearranging product placement or highlighting a store sale, a merchant can actually use their website to directly connect with the customer and encourage purchases. And you cannot do that on eBay and Amazon. You just can't do it, guys. And I'm not saying don't use those sites, but I wouldn't use those sites as a primary, plus they can shut you down. I know when I had my products on eBay, I had hundreds of listings. And one day I woke up and they cancelled all my listings. And that's a whole story I could go into, partially my fault. But the point is they can wipe you out in a single day. So if you depend on those sites for your living, you could be wiped out in a single day. So with so much freedom, online store owners may know where to begin and start curating their own shop. OK, to start attracting buyers and retaining loyal customers. I'm going to go through all these steps. These strategies cover how buyers experience each element of your online store and explain how each aspect could be crafted to attract new buyers and drive up sales. And guys, make use of this chat thing. I see Paul's doing it and I appreciate it. The world definitely changed that day. Oh, my gosh, it did change. And I'm going to talk about where I was in 9-11 and where I am now and exactly what happened that day, because my experience was probably very different from anything that you can imagine because of where I was geographically and what was going on. It was very different. Paul says I like that Shopify offers a lot of support and video. Have you ever thought of going to the Canton Fair to look for products? The Canton Fair is over in China, and I thought about it. You know, I'm not really that fond of going to China to be honest with you. And without doing that trip, I can find a lot of products in the US. And I don't mean products in the US. In other words, I could be in the US and find products in China if I want. There's never really, you know, a lot of people think the whole key is finding a cool new product. And while that's great, while it's cool to have a new product, that is not the key to making it online. The key to making it online is knowing how to market. If you know how to market, you could you could give me any product on a Friday and by Monday morning, I would be making money on it. You know, as long as I had decent profit margins and all that stuff because it's really all about marketing. It's not about the product. It's great to have cool products. I'm not saying it on me. We have a really cool product in our canned meats. We had a sale yesterday for right at $69,000. One sale, one sale for $69,000. You know, I kind of pinched myself on a C stuff like that. So I'm like, wow, that's a crazy amount of money for one person to spend. But it was a single sale for $69,000. It was actually $68,000 in some change, but that's really nice. And that's because I guess I have a cool product, but more more so because I did marketing and how I got that customer. So what we're going to do is start walking through the steps. And I think the very first one I need to talk about is your web design. Number one is an engaging web design. And keep in mind, there's going to be 20 of these steps. Without an engaging web design, you're kind of lost. So it doesn't even matter what platform you use. If you don't have this really cool web design, you're going to be hurt. You really are. So it doesn't really matter, like what Paul was saying, if you have the coolest products in the world and you put them on a crappy design site, you're not going to do well. And even if you have the best customer service, it won't matter if you have a crappy web design. You know, if your web design store is lousy, your online business presence is doomed. You're not going to do well because even if you attract people, even if you drive traffic, even if you run ads, when they get there, they're just going to bounce and leave. They're going to bounce and leave. So web design, guys, if you if you want to put anything at the top of the list, it's going to be your web design. It doesn't matter what platform you got. If you've got the best platform in the world, you get the best products in the world, the best advertising in the world, tons of traffic. If your web design sucks, then you're not going to do very well. According to Kiss Metrics study, there was 93 percent of buyers consider visual appearance to be the most important factor when making a purchase. Can you imagine that? So they're not going there going, oh, gosh, this is the best price. Oh, gosh, this is the best product. They're looking at your web design. How well did you design this? So this is that's why it's really crucial at the end of this training today. I'm going to give you a list of the top platforms to design your actual e-commerce site. And in all of these platforms, you can do a really engaging web design, which is what we're talking about right now. So to have a really profitable online store, you can either pay a lot of money to some web designer or you can take it upon yourself to learn code or you can go to one of the list of web designs. I'm going to give you at the end of this web platforms and you can design your own and they're really pretty easy. They really are. They have a lot of ready made templates. You can customize them for your own needs. And fortunately, there's a lot of templates out there. I mean, I'm going to give you a group of platforms, but there's thousands of different templates within those platforms that you can use. Three of them I currently use now, three out of about I think six. I'm going to give you six or seven, something like that. I can't remember exactly the number count. I was just going through that before I started my training today. But, you know, there's so much opportunity guys for you guys to do that. You can also, what are some other things you can do? You can use sites like template master. You can use Tony templates, Apollo, maybe I'll put some of those in here. Check, check these out. And now this is if you want templates. The only TES. OK, so the first one I'm going to give you is template monster. Template monster. So you can check that one out. That is a very good one. And I would totally suggest that. The other one I would tell you is Tony templates. Tony templates is a very good one. You can check that one out right there. The other one I was thinking about, Apollo theme, Apollo theme, I forget about that. So Apollo, am I spelling that right? No, I'm not. No, I'm not. Let me get this right. Apollo theme. You can certainly use that one. That's a great one. And there's a lot of others out there. You know, they have clean designs, intuitive layouts and follow the latest web trends. One thing I would tell you also when you're designing, make sure you understand that people are going to be viewing your site on mobile. I see so many sites I go to a mobile and it's all jumbled up and the words are on top of each other and images don't load right. Make sure that it is responsive, mobile responsive, we call that. So design elements should really captivate visitors. You should have full with images, avoiding distractions and really minimal text. You don't need a whole lot of text anymore. So, you know, that that type of stuff is really made for your store. OK, your online store can be designed by a professional, like I said, it can be designed yourself if you want to know how to do that. You want to know how to code or with an e-commerce store template. And I would say, especially if you're starting out using the e-commerce store template, as far as hiring professionals to do that, you know, I would say that's not that's not until you really understand what you're doing. If you don't know how to design a store, you don't want to hire somebody. I know that sounds backwards. It's like, well, J.R., if I don't know how to design a store, isn't that when I should hire somebody? The answer is no. The answer is no because you don't know what to expect. You don't know what to pay. You don't know what they're doing. You have to get your hands dirty in the beginning. You've got to design your own store. I know I designed my own store in the beginning and it was an offshoot for eBay. I'm trying to think of the platform. It was actually owned by eBay. I can't even think of it now, but I use their templates and it was not a pretty site. It was not beautiful. But I got through it and I made it work. Web design, once again, should captivate your visitor's attention, engage customers with full width images and minimal text, like what I just said. And not to go too long, which I probably already have, but that is number one, number one out of 20. Number two, an awesome about us page. This is where a lot of people fall down. They think they should put a sentence or two, and that's just not the case. People are really reading these about us pages now more than they ever have before. They really want to know who they're dealing with. If a visitor goes to your about us page, this means they are already interested in you, right? If they go there and they're reading this page, think about it. They've got interest in you and they're giving you a chance to prove to them that your product is the best product, that your company is the best company, that they should trust you, that they should be loyal to you. This is your opportunity. Don't blow it. Don't blow it with a lousy about us page. What you need to do is clearly spell out what you are, what you do, and most importantly, what you offer to the clients, all testimonials, achievements, and any kind of social proof is welcome there. So don't don't say, well, I saw somebody else's about us page. He was like two paragraphs, so that's what I need to do. Now, you could overload this page. You could put all kinds of testimonials on it. You could put all kinds of good stuff on it. Really fill up your about us page. I think it's super important. Make sure you don't waste this opportunity as it could lead to gaining a customer. Your contact information should be clear. It should be easy to find on your about page and throughout your website as well. Be sure to mention things like your contact email, your address, your social media channels, all these things bring credibility to your company. All these things are going to help you out. All these things are going to get sales, but you've got to do it. Now, packing your about page with too much information could be overwhelming for site visitors. Some online stores, like, you know, some of them I've seen, opt for a minimalist design and keep information clear and easy to comprehend. But I would say, you know, if you were going to lean in one direction or the other, I would say I would lean towards too much information and not enough information because if they go there, they want information, OK? They want that stuff. Super important. So include your basic information about your business on your page, such as your contact information, address, social media accounts and avoid cluttering the about page with too much information. But you want to keep them engaged and have enough. Yeah, it's a it's a tough balancing thing, right? To have exactly what you need. That's kind of what you need. You need to have exactly what you need. Now, the next thing you can do, number three, and this is something I did early on, because I got to tell you, I built my site and I thought that as soon as I built my site and it went live, that the money would just come rolling in. The money would just come flooding in, but it didn't happen that way. It didn't happen that way at all. So giving your harder money, little loan company isn't easy for most buyers. OK, establish your reputation by showing which companies are working with you. They don't need to necessarily be on the scale of Coca-Cola or Apple or something like that, but even small companies can add a degree of trustworthiness to your enterprise. So like when I was selling my survival cave food, I didn't have any sales. Nobody was coming to my site. So what I did is I partnered with a lot of other sites and I said, hey, put my product on your site and I will ship it out. You don't have to buy anything. Sell the product. And when you sell it, collect the money, pay me what my wholesale cost is and I'll ship it out. Now, this was a win-win for them and us because I just got extra sales. My products were now listed on a lot of other sites and they didn't have to invest in inventory and they had extra profit. Now, the cool thing was when you googled survival cave food, now you've got a whole lot of results because you not only got the results from my page, you got the results from all the other pages that were listing my products. So it gave me a tremendous hike in SEO. It really did. It helped our site so, so very much. And just a second, I'm going to tell you some of the platforms you can build it on, too. So hang in there with me for just a second. That was number three and we're still kind of going over number three. But some actionable tips for partnering with other brands and influencers are highlight partner companies on your homepage to immediately showcase your reputation to site visitors. Now, at one point, we actually do a lot of gun shows around the country. We physically did gun shows and I had tons of retailers that were doing gun shows and obviously that stuff died down because of the illness, so we couldn't do those. But we actually had the locations in the U.S. where you could go and buy our product at a gun show and I would keep that updated and I don't have that on our site and work. We really don't do that that much anymore. However, we may go back to that. That may be a big thing. I know the illness woke up a lot of people to our survival products and a lot of people are searching that kind of product now. So it could be another opportunity for us. Number four, we're up to number four. And I think we're going to do a five today, right? Five, yeah. So number four is offer excellent online support. Your customers need to know they will have support after they make a purchase. That's when they're going to worry, right? If they need it, guaranteeing troubleshooting after the purchase and consulting before the purchase. So if somebody can call our company and say, you know, I got four kids and two adults, how much food do we need for three months? And we can give them that information. We actually have a calculator on the site they can use to. So that can convert potential customers into loyal, returning customers. The most comprehensive, helpful type of support is a live chat feature that works 24 seven. Now, we do have a chat feature. It's not live 24 seven, but if you can pull that off and you want to do that, do that. There are companies that you can put on your site that will do this for you. This tool can increase your site wide conversion by about 10 percent or more. If you don't have the resources to offer round the clock support, you should still provide some type of service to help your people during working hours. You want to do something like that. The company that keeps this chat feature easily accessible, yet unobtrusive. You don't want to block everything to the buyers of the bottom left hand corner, right hand corner, wherever you want to do it. So here's some actionable tips for offering excellent online support. Offer support at all stages of the shopping experience to encourage new buyers to make their first purchase and returning customers to continue making purchases. OK, that's what it's there for. Make your customer support features, whether it's like a phone line or a chat box, you know, we have a support ticket thing you can go through, make it visible on the homepage that buyers are aware of those services. OK, ours is aware. Ours is there on the homepage. OK, so we're down to number five. Now, after number five, guys, I'm going to give you the top sites that you should use for your e-commerce store. It is not exhausted. It's not every single platform that's out there. OK, matter of fact, it doesn't even include one of the ones that I originally, two of the ones I originally started with. But I think they're the best ones for this market right now. OK, so the next thing I'm going to tell you, number five is provide popular payment options. I don't always like doing this. I don't like PayPal. I'm not a fan of PayPal. I do offer it, though, because a lot of people are fans of PayPal. And I've got to do what they want. No online store can exist without payments. All right, so you've got to be able to take payments, which I want you to keep in mind. You want to keep your people happy because if you lose your merchant account, you are out of business. That's the only way you can collect money. So you want to offer a wide variety of popular payment options for your customers so they can always make a purchase. OK, because it all changes for every single site. And guys, don't forget, I'm still taking your questions, your comments, your suggestions in that chat box. So feel free to put it in there. So a few actionable tips for this. Allow sellers to create an account on your store and save their payment information to make future purchases more seamless. Now, I will tell you, I violate this on Survival K Food. We do not save their payment information because they're so worried about people getting their information that we actually erase it. But you can do that. You can save it on your site. Make sure you have a secure site. You're doing all the protocols that you need to do. But you also want to offer a wide variety of payment options. I got to tell you, PayPal reigns as the go-to payment solution. But there are other popular options for your business to consider. If you want to Google Entrepreneur's List of 15 other widely used payment methods, check that out. And you can see that. But you want to offer a Mastercard Visa, American Express, Diners, whatever the heck's out there, and of course, PayPal. All of those things are super, super important. Guys, I want to also now at this point, and I promised you this, and we're nearing the end here, but I promised you I would do this, I want to give you what I think are some of the top platforms. Because this week, if you follow through all these videos, Tuesday through Friday, you're going to have a real good game plan for starting an e-commerce store. So let's go ahead and go, and I've got my list here on another tab, to some of the platforms you can use to build your online store. Now, I would say one of the easiest and simplest to get started is Wix. Wix is a really top-rated e-commerce platform. It's not what I would use, because my situation is different. But if you want a simpler alternative to some of the full-on web store building solutions, then you'd check out Wix, OK? It's highly user-friendly. There's still plenty of e-commerce power available to create a suitably impressive site. And let's just look at it. I'm going to look at some of the benefits to it. It's easy to use. It's got a bunch of templates, and it's got a simple pricing. Now, it is easy to use. However, it does not have a lot of the tools that a lot of the other platforms I'm going to tell you about have. Now, other platforms are known for their complexity and being able to deliver an e-commerce platform for all needs. Wix offers a much simpler solution for small businesses who don't need all the bells and whistles of an online megastore. So if you're planning on growing to a big, big store, Wix would not be the way to go. If you just want a little small thing and you try to make some money on the side, it wouldn't be bad. Does Cartra track payments? 100%. Not only that, Paul, is they will, you can click on a customer and you can see a customer's lifetime value. You can see everything they bought. You can target customers based on their lifetime value or what they bought. So if you want to do like a whale email for all the people that spend big money and you know you've got a big, expensive offering, you could definitely do that in Cartra. Thoughts on marketing on Facebook Marketplace. I don't personally use Facebook Marketplace. As a matter of fact, over the years, I have distanced myself more and more from Facebook. And Paul, you can appreciate this because I know the other day, I think they put you in Facebook jail. It's just too restrictive. I don't like it. So I've sold some stuff in the Marketplace personally. My wife has too, but for our business, we don't use it for that. We just don't, it's not, it's not thing, it's not something that I think it's good for us. Website building tools through Wex, setting up an e-commerce platform. There's really simple and easy to do. It's just as easy to manage. There's no coding skills required. The results is a platform that anyone should be able to use without too much difficulty, okay? There's about 500 templates there too, if you're asking about that. Next thing I would recommend is Bluehost, which I will have a link in the description of Bluehost. Bluehost is hosting, it's done through WordPress and then coupling that with WooCommerce, okay? It's pretty easy to use. It's already installed, okay? So it has lots of features. It's really simple to start. Rather than being a standalone e-commerce platform, WooCommerce is a free plugin that can turn your WordPress website into a fully functional e-commerce website. So if you've already got a WordPress website, WooCommerce is a great way to go. The basic WooCommerce plugin is easy to install through WordPress, and even better is that the plugin is free to download and use. However, however, okay, there's always a however, right? To get the most from WooCommerce, you'll need to install a number of third-party plugins. I'm gonna be totally honest with you. This is to add features such as payment processing, inventory management, stock control, all that. Now, Bluehost simplifies the process and Bluehost is the preferred hosting company for WordPress, okay? And WordPress is one of the biggest platforms in the world. But Bluehost simplifies the process for providing read-made WooCommerce platform with everything you need already installed. And it also includes a shopping theme and all the plugins that you'll also need. Although two different plans are offered, even the standard plan almost offers everything you're gonna possibly need. And I would get with the standard in the beginning. Features include not just the online store, but the store front theme installed, but also a blog along with Jetpack Free, payment processing, email marketing, discount codes. The premium plan adds online bookings and appointments, subscriptions, product customizations, as well as local and tax manager. Of course, there's web hosting underlying everything as well, meaning that you have a fully functional e-commerce platform already on. So as soon as you sign into Bluehost, you're good to go. All that's left for you to do is add your products and set up your marketing and you're in business. All in all, WooCommerce is one of the best e-commerce platforms for those looking for ease and for themselves starting an online retail business, whether it's for physical products or even digital products if you're selling that. And the web hosting platform deal with provided with Bluehost makes it incredibly simply to get started. Now, my next one here for e-commerce is my favorite. This is by far my favorite. Pluses, can you transfer from Wix to another site? Absolutely not. And they do that on purpose because they don't want you to leave the site. If you build a site in Wix, you're gonna have to go build it someplace else. It is, you're gonna have to do the whole thing over again. So don't ever think, well, I can build it here and I'll just upload it to another site. Not gonna work, not gonna happen. And none of them that I know of, you can really do that. Now you can probably download your products or list of the products or something like that. But as far as the site design and all that, it's gonna be entirely different. Next one, number three is Shopify. Shopify is only like 29 bucks a month for the basic. And I think it's 79 bucks a month for the picked up version and the highest is like 299. It's really easy to use. It's got loads of features, powerful analytics. And if you're doing e-commerce, it's probably one of the best ones. It is definitely the most well-known e-commerce platform available. It was set up in 2006 by the founders were actually Tobias Lucte and Daniel Wienwin and Scott Lay, who as the story goes, felt that there wasn't a simple and easy to use e-commerce platform available. So they built their own. The company claims that you don't need to have any technical or design experience to easily create a beautiful online store. And that's very true. According to Shopify, it's possible to get one of its online stores up and running within minutes. That's pretty quick, guys. Users, and I actually have a course called Ecom Road. Ecom Road will walk you through building your entire Shopify store. So check out Ecom Road. You can Google it and you'll probably find it. Users choose from a wide range of templates or they can design the look and feel of the store themselves. It accepts a comprehensive range of cards, has different levels on it, different levels of support. The support is really good at Shopify, so I do highly recommend them. It's a good company. Next one I would tell you about is Magento. Now, Magento is not for everybody. Matter of fact, I would probably not recommend Magento for most people. However, if you're experienced, if you are a big merchant, if you're doing like into the million dollars, I would recommend Magento. Our site, Survival K Food, is built on Magento. Magento allows us the ability to have different levels of memberships, different levels of logins. For example, let's say you're a retail customer. You're gonna log in and see the prices that I sell my products for. But let's say you're one of our retailers. You have your own site and you're selling our products and you wanna be able to go to our site and log in and put in all your orders and see your wholesale pricing. That's what Magento allows us to do. So I can have different logins for retailers, different logins for retail customers. And within the retailers that sell my products, they can have different price structures depending on what level they're at and buying products from us. And what it allows us to do is have this automation going on. So you don't have to send us your orders. You can upload them to our site. You can actually upload a thousand orders to our site. It will take all that information. You can then take those orders and send them to our warehouse and they get shipped out. So everything is automated. So you don't have to talk to us. We don't have to talk to you. And you can also physically put in the order. So if you've got like 10 orders, you wanna type those into our site, you can do that. And as soon as we see those orders, you're gonna pay for them when you put the orders in. We're gonna go ahead and process them. We'll ship it out to your customer. We'll send your customer tracking information to get all that stuff and you don't even have to worry about it. That's Magento, not for everybody. This is a site that's gonna cost you thousands and thousands of dollars a year just to have the site. But it does have open source coding. So you can go in there and you can change it around, do whatever you want. But I like Magento a lot, not for everybody. But if you're a big guy and you wanna start selling some stuff and getting into the millions of dollars, Magento is a great site for that. You can do a lot with it. And there's a lot of people out there that know about Magento. They can help you with it. And that's another thing, guys. When you're getting into some of these e-commerce sites, you may need some help on down the road. And if you don't have it, man, you're gonna be screwed. Now, the last thing I wanna tell you is Cartra. And I probably mentioned Cartra in 90% of my videos because I know what it will do for you. I understand what it'll do for you. In the description, after this video, you're gonna see a link for Cartra. That link is not something where you have to put in information or a credit card or email or anything. It is a link to watch a video. When you watch the video, it will show you everything that Cartra does. It is your online marketing software that you're gonna need. It's the best. Forget about every other email provider. Forget about every page builder. Forget about every customer, CRM, whatever you wanna call it. It's all built into Cartra. Check out Cartra. This is my plug for it. I am an affiliate for it. I don't make hardly any money off it. However, I do recommend it because I know it's gonna help you guys. I want you to get the best software. What else do I got? Well, I guess I wanna recap things. So this week, Tuesday through Friday, each day I'm giving you five things you need to build your e-commerce store, five things. And then on Saturday, we are doing a tribute to 9-Eleven. It won't be telling you how to make money, but it will kinda be telling you how to make money because it changed us, my company, what we did, changed me, and I wanna explain to you where I was, what happened, where I went from on 9-Eleven to where I am now, 20 years later, which sounds insane that it's 20 years later for me. I don't feel 20 years older, but apparently I am because I have a calendar and I know how to read it. Let's see here. What platform did you start out with before you went to Magento? Paul, you're not gonna believe this, but outside of that one that was hooked into eBay, the eBay website thing, I went directly to Magento. I went to Magento way before I needed it, and the only reason I went to it is I hired this guy in India and he says, oh, you're e-commerce. I'm making fun of our Indian accent, shouldn't do that. He says, hello, you're e-commerce, and the best platform is Magento. So he built my site on Magento. I knew nothing about Magento. I'm so glad he did that because I've kept that same type of platform. Now, I've had different iterations of it, and that's the one thing I will also warn you about Magento every two or three years, they upgrade it, and you have to upgrade to the newest version for security purposes and all that, and that's gonna cost you thousands of dollars every few years, it just is. Unless you can do it on your own, which I can't, I pay somebody and it takes them about a month or two to actually upgrade to the newest version. But I had it from the beginning. I just did, I got lucky. I got somebody who gave me good, you know, information of what, wait a second, the screen blinked out. They gave me good information about what I should do, and I just did it. No, I didn't do it. I allowed them to do it. I didn't know what I was doing. And Magento was it. Now, guys, if you haven't subscribed yet, what the heck? Come on, man, make sure you subscribe. Let's see here, what's the best site for books and courses, books and courses? Well, my site's pretty darn good. I gotta tell you, I have a lot of courses there. But, you know, depending on what you're studying, mine is all about making money online. I think ClickBank is pretty good for finding a lot of different courses, and there's a lot of good ones. And you can look at them based on the number of sales they get and all that. I think that's pretty good. Doing POD, print on demand with products. What sites do you recommend? Well, you know, POD is a way of selling. I do have a video, I have several videos on this channel that will tell you how to do POD and it recommends a bunch of sites. I don't really want to do it right now. But, you know, Printify or Printful, there's a whole bunch of different ones that I recommend. And if you just search my site for Print on Demand or POD, you're gonna find those videos on that particular thing. That's a great question. I do appreciate you doing that, Paul. I'll give you some questions there. Other sites for books. Well, books, I think is a tough one. I think books probably, Amazon, as much as I hate to say it, it's a really good site to find books. And I like Audible. I like Audible because I had a hard time sitting down reading a book. But when I drive, I have a very easy time just putting a book in or if I'm working out and I've got a headset or something like that, I can listen to a book. I've got to get back to, I have the book for Elon Musk and I was listening to that for some reason. I got sidetracked, so I got to get back to that. So that's what I got for you today, guys. If you haven't subscribed, please do so. Don't forget, ring the bell. Turn on all bell notifications so you're notified each and every single time I go live. Don't forget, this week is how to build a killer million dollar e-commerce site. I'm gonna give you all the steps to do that. All you gotta do is follow through Tuesday through Friday and then Saturday we're doing the tribute to 9-11, which you're not gonna wanna miss. I'm gonna give you facts you did not know about 9-11 that are factual. No BS, no conspiracy theories, none of that stuff, but just real facts and things that have happened and are still happening because of 9-11. I'm gonna go over all of that on Saturday. I love your story and I think that is what attracted me to the site, the fact that you're the every guy who's doing it. Oh, I'm the every guy, if the every guy knows nothing because I knew nothing. And I feel like I know quite a bit now, but I only know quite a bit now because I just studied this stuff, okay? I'm not smart, don't believe me, but I have been incredibly lucky. I've made millions of dollars online and continue to do so. And once again, I wanna brag because I got a $69,000 single order yesterday and we're gonna be processing that today, which is nice, it's nice. It's nice when you get an order and I keep my expenses down, guys. I don't spend a lot of money a month. I'm not trying to impress you with me spending a hundred grand a month because I just don't, you know, I don't buy cars very often because I was in the car business and I know they're wasting money. I do have a deposit on the Tesla truck, but God knows when that's gonna come out. I don't know, so I'll keep driving my car and putting miles on it. But I do like to make a lot of money. I like to have the security of money. I like to have money in the bank. I like to have stocks. I like to have real estate. I like to have all these things because I also want, you know, my wife taking care of it when I'm not here. One day I'm gonna be gone or maybe she'll be gone first. I don't know, one of us will be, we wanna have a lot of money in the bank with whoever's left. I have a blessed weekend, a week ahead gang. Remember, fortune favors the bold. And the other side of fear is freedom, 100%. Guys, thanks so much for being here. I really appreciate being here. If you're not watching this live, you can still ask me questions. Just put it in the comment section below. Ask me anything you want, anything you want and I will answer it for you. Paul says who dares wins. That's very, very true. I was talking to a family member. This is the last thing I'm gonna say I'm getting out of here. I was talking to a family member yesterday on the phone and this family member does not have enough money. And I tried to tell this family member what they could do and they said, I'll keep that in the back of my mind. The back of your mind, I said, no, put it in the front of your mind. Do something about it. Putting it in the back of the mind is like, well, I'm just gonna trash that idea. I'm just gonna keep complaining that I don't have enough money. I said, you know, I teach people how to make money on my mind, right? You know, that's what I do. And I'm related to you. And you could learn this stuff and you wouldn't have these problems. You wouldn't have these issues. Oh, well, I don't have time for that. But you're retired. Oh, well, I got other things I'm doing. Well, then you don't care. That's the truth. That's the truth. That's in the back of your mind. If you ever say I'm putting something in the back of your mind, that means you're trashing it. That's what you're doing. Guys, you have a great day, great week. Don't forget, I'll be here tomorrow at 9 a.m. and Thursday at 9 a.m. and Friday at 9 a.m. And then Saturday, I'm gonna flip it all upside down and come to you at 10 a.m. Guys, thank you so much for being here.
