 Hey GovCon Giants family Eric Coffey here your host and today I want to talk to you about how to use my YouTube channel in particular our YouTube site as you know We have 300 plus videos on here And I want to encourage people to use it as a knowledge base and what do I mean by knowledge base? That means that a lot of times the questions that you have you can simply go to the home page of my videos and Click search and find the answers So I'm going to show you how to do that Now and I'm going to give you a couple examples so you can learn how to use a knowledge base And also how to best take advantage of this channel and this platform that we've given you so real quick I'm going to go through a couple questions that people ask and so like this question was asked recently This person asked about can a Canadian company get small business licenses for federal contracts If you were to go here to my channel and you type say form the word foreign What does it say international contracts how to register for a foreign company? How does a non-citizen discuss doing business in Italy for the US government? And you'll find there we answer all those questions and the same thing if you were to type in let's say I don't know go back Let's say we're to type in the word trucking or I'll say truck Okay, a bunker roll major oil company one truck at a time government trucking contracts Let operators train students Covid grants things like that There's a lot of content that we've already created and put out Surrounding a lot of the questions comments and areas that people have do you need a Duns number for each business that you have? Okay, let's go over back to here Duns Right how to apply for the Duns apply for Duns updated Sam registration. I'm registered Sam with my Duns what to do next So again a lot of the stuff a lot of the questions I would urge most people to take a look at the List of videos that we have out here inside of our communities because a lot of times Which you'll find is the answers are already there somehow some place The other thing that I want to share and let's go through we'll do a few more examples Here because I think someone asked a question I know again, I've answered a lot of his questions One of the ones that comes up quite often so for example this person says hey, I like this cup of your sources sought on this sources sought video Actually, what I've done because it looks like a lot of people So let's go back over here. I'm gonna show you because a lot of people also are not familiar with Going into the show notes and finding things. So here's sources sought. Here's the video Let me pull up on YouTube. I want to show people because a lot of people keep asking a lot of the questions about Some of the links that we have in here Okay, let me turn that off All right And see here people asked for the emails for the sources sought notices but if you click if you look here on the box where it says show more click show more in here and Under show more is where we put the links at for the comment now in this particular video what I've done is for the Sources sought notices. We've actually moved them and I'm glad I pulled this up right in front of you guys because I thought it was here But we've changed it So we've actually moved it to because it's so frequently asked. We actually moved it to our resources page I'll show you that so if you're looking for sources sought We actually move it over to our GovCon Giants resources page and there is a button for a letter of interest for the sources sought notice So if you come here GovConGiants.com for its last resources right here It says sources sought notice you click the download link and It downloads All right, so that's there but Let's go back to the trucking one because that's another one that people frequently ask about the trucking one Here on the trucking video. I know this one's here because I've done it Right here at the pen comment is the buyers guides download link So here's the buyers guide download link you click the link Download all the files relate it to the buyers guide and it's right there easily accessible for most people So I just wanted to share this because a lot of times I see folks Unfamiliar with how to actually go in to the resources page how to use it There's another one that I get often asked quite often. Let me go back and let me just search if we look here under grants So go to grants how to get grants for my small business click on the video click show more Okay, and then here is let's see the courses contacts resources recommendations and This it doesn't have it either. Let me see if I have it Okay Well doesn't have it. Let's go back. Ah, sorry. That's why it's the COVID grants one This is the half. This is a actual video interview with someone.
