Yes, they are, Alan. That's a small town, but it was a really nice town. I really enjoyed it. We went to what they called the Downtown area, which was funny, because it was like, I looked around, I was like, well, there's not a whole lot here. But yeah, it's a really nice town. I really enjoyed it when I was there. It's a pretty place. So anyhow, let me get into the story. You guys interested in this story? Should we start off with a gift card? I think we ought to start off with a gift card first. The first one I've got here is going to be this Apple gift card right here. And let me get to a screen that I can see because I can't really see where we are here. There we go. So anyhow, I'm gonna start off with this Apple gift card right here. It is $10 to $500.

That is the number on that card there, okay? And put it in the comments section if you guys are running an online business right now. Are you running one? Are you starting your own one? I'm gonna get a sip of my tea here. Got a long session today. Tell me what stage you're at, what's going on? I wanna know. So years ago, now this is going back to 2009. So I've been doing this 11 years. It's gonna be 12 years soon. Wow, time's flown. I was in a job, like some of you are out there. And I didn't like my boss. You know, the job, yeah, it wasn't so bad. But it was a lot of hours. I was a single dad. I was raising two kids. They were 12 and eight at the time. And I just didn't like my boss. Didn't like my boss at all. He was a very difficult person. He was lazy. You know, he would yell at everybody to work more, but you know, he himself wasn't working. You know, he did drugs, he drank, he womanized. I mean, just, there was no redeeming factors about it. He's since passed away. He was not a good person to work for. So I decided I wanted to start an online business. And I had no clue what to do. I got laughed at basically because I can't type. Okay. And I still can't really type to this day. I'm like, you know, the two finger thing. And I want to tell you how I got to that million bucks. Okay. Cause it's, it's not a straight route guys. And those of you who want to make money online, you've got to understand it's not a straight route. It's not like step one, step two, step three, and then there's a million dollars. It doesn't work that way. Okay. The main thing I want to tell you guys is to get started because that's the thing I had a hard time with in the beginning is just getting started. Because what would happen is I was working six, seven days a week and I was managing the sales force. And I would have to be at work at seven, 38 in the morning. I would get home at seven, eight o'clock at night. And I had like, you know, some time with my kids to get them in bed. And then of course I would turn on the TV for an hour or two and then the day was done. So I had convinced myself that I had no time to make any money online. I wanted to, I thought it was a great idea. I mean, I saw people doing it back in 2009, but I didn't know how I could do it. So, oh, oh, just Roblox, you got the card? Excuse me one second, I'm gonna interrupt my own story. Just Roblox, tell us something she got there. I'm kind of curious what she got, but he did get the card. And I got a bunch more guys. So if you didn't get a card, don't worry, you're gonna have a lot of opportunities. So anyhow, I'm coming home at night and then one night it was around, I guess 10, 10, 30, something like that. And I turned on the TV and I'm watching the TV and I'm like, wait, wait a second. I do have time to start a business because I'm watching TV right now. Is this TV really doing me any good at all? I mean, is this something that's gonna help me tomorrow morning, next week, next month, next year? And I reasoned that it would not. So what I did is I started going online and I started researching. Just Roblox got 10 bucks, cool, cool. And guys, if you wanna support this channel, there's a dollar sign there. You can hit that dollar sign. You can contribute to this channel, a dollar, $5, $10, whatever you want to help support my training with you guys because I don't really sell you guys anything. All I do is give you free training. So anyhow, I'm sitting there that one night, 10, 30 at night, going, well, maybe I could figure out how to sell stuff online. So I started doing research and at the time the biggest thing around was eBay. Now, eBay is kind of followed by the wayside. I don't ever even go there anymore, but eBay was the big thing. And so I found a site and what the site did is it told me the number one selling products on eBay. And I found a product called a cell phone case and cell phone cases were selling on eBay. So I said, well, that's what I'll do. Cell phone cases are the number one selling product on eBay. So if that's the number one selling product on eBay, that's what I'm gonna sell. That's what I'm gonna do. So what I did is in back then there was no such thing as drop shipping or anything that stuff. Yeah, there probably was, but I didn't know anything about it. So I bought like a hundred of these cell phone cases to fit a particular phone. And I can't remember what the phone was now, LG or something like that. And I bought a hundred of these cell phone cases and then I went to sell them online. Now cell phone cases, I mean, they're so cheap and they're still so cheap, right? You could buy them for a few dollars. So I started selling these cell phone cases and I was making like 50 cents to a dollar but I had to package it, I had to label it. But I did learn how to package and label and put products up on eBay and all that. And then that particular style would quit selling. So I'd have to buy a hundred of a different style because people would switch their phones and all that. And then I'd get a hundred of a different style and I'd start selling that one and then that one would stop selling and I'd get a little bit more. And what I did each time they quit selling is I put the leftover ones from that batch of a hundred I bought and put them in my closet. I had a walking closet in this house. And lo and behold, within a few months, my closet was full of cell phone cases. I really hadn't made any money because the amount of time I invested but I did start with a hundred bucks on my credit card and that's the title of this, a hundred bucks to a million. And I was like, oh my God, I've got all these cell phone cases and I haven't made any money whatsoever. But what I did learn was you could sell something online. I got data, that's essentially what I got. I got proof that I could actually sell something. I didn't make a profit, okay? I wasn't doing well. I didn't sell a whole lot of them but I learned how to do something. And that's what I would tell you guys right off the bat is don't sit there and wait for an exact plan. There isn't an exact plan. You need to get started. You need to do something. You know, I see people who go and attend my training. I mean, year after year, they just get started. I mean, you've got to get started. And no matter what happens, like I failed at cell phone cases. No matter what happens, you got to keep moving forward. So then what I did is I found some camping gear, Coggins camping gear, and it was pretty much junk from China but I started putting that up on eBay and that started selling a little bit. I started selling that a little bit and I was making like, I don't know, $100 a month, maybe $200 a month selling this stuff. Still packaging a lot of stuff. Still a lot of leftover inventory. But now I was at a point where I was going, okay, I'm making some money. Okay, I'm not making a lot of money but I'm making some money. And then one day, I started a site called Survival Cave. That site is no longer around. Now I own Survival Cave food. I'll get to that part of the story in a second. And put any questions you have about the story in the comments section. If this is motivating to you, if this is something that you think is gonna help you, put that in that chat section there. I'd really appreciate it. The more chat we have guys, the more, what platform I'm on YouTube, the more YouTube will show this video. So please, please, please put something in the chat even if it's hello or I'm enjoying this or keep going or whatever it is. So anyhow, I'm selling this camping gear and I started a website called Survival Cave. And one day this company contacts me and they are a manufacturer of freeze dried long-term food storage. Well, freeze dried long-term food storage. And this long-term food storage was, it was okay, I couldn't afford to really buy and have inventory. So what I would do and back then you didn't have to ship real quick on eBay is I would put an offer on eBay and then once I sold, it was like a bucket of these freeze-dried meals. Once I sold one, I would buy it from the company, have it shipped to my house and it came in a cardboard box and I would peel off their label and then I would put the label on for the customer I sold it to and I would ship it out. And I was making like maybe $10 or $20 each time I did that. And it got to where it was very, very busy, very, very busy. We said 14 people. Oh, interesting, it's 15 now, what do you know? We usually have hundreds afterwards or thousands. But that's what I was doing. And all of a sudden this stuff started selling really well. There was an earthquake over in Japan and Fukushima, I believe it was called. And all of a sudden I started selling like 4,000, 10,000, 20,000 a month. And then one month I hit $80,000 in a single month selling this food and I was like wow, this is enough. Because see my whole goal was if I could make enough money to where I could make it, about half what I was making on my job, I was gonna quit. I mean I just didn't like the job, just didn't like it. Didn't like the boss really was the main thing. That's the main reason people do that and quit their job is because they don't like their boss. But anyhow, I quit my job. I got this little tiny warehouse and I was sending over all these orders to the company, but at this point now they were actually shipping out those buckets of freeze-dried food for me, which I thought was pretty cool, okay? And that was good, but all of a sudden one day they were like a week late when shipping out my orders. So I contacted them and they're like yeah, yeah, we got hit with a lot of orders. You know, it's gonna be like two weeks, three weeks. I'm like oh, that's not good. Now people on eBay are getting mad at me and they're putting comments and they're canceling orders. And I was like well, this is all I got. I mean I got this one product that's really making me profit. I've got nothing else. And then all of a sudden they told me it'd be a month. Woo! Now what I was doing also on the side is on the weekends I was actually taking some of this product with me and I would go to local gun shows. I would put it like in a U-Haul trailer and go around and set up a table and I would sell this emergency survival food. And it was at the forefront of people's minds because of this big earthquake at Fukushima. So I'm loading up the car one day and I'm getting all my buckets and putting them in there. And I always check my stats of eBay on my phone and I looked down at my phone and all of my listings were gone. Now I had like, I don't know, 300, 400, I can't remember listings on eBay and back then I would duplicate it. Like I would put the same item when they were 10 times or whatever. And the reason I would do that is because it got me more exposure because they won't let you do that anymore. So they removed all of them. They removed every single one of them. And I was like, well my goodness, what's going on here? So I contacted eBay and they said, yeah, you had too many returns, too many cancellations. We've shut down all of your listings at this point. I'm like, oh no, I mean, that's where all my money came from. And in addition to that, I had quit my job. So I was like, well let's go to the gun show. So I went and checked my bank account right after that and there was over $20,000 missing, 20 grand. Okay, I understand I had built this up and now I got 20 grand missing. And I'm like, oh my God, 20 grand missing, whew, where'd that go? So I contacted PayPal, which was part of eBay. And they said, yeah, you had so many deals that didn't go through, you didn't ship, you're having cancellations. So we have to set up a reserve. I'm like, a reserve, what's that? They're like, we just take part of your money. And I didn't know it, but when you connect PayPal to your bank account, they can just reach in your bank account and take money out. And that's what they did, 20 grand, 20 grand. So I got a couple of questions in here. They said, dang, I missed the Apple card. By the way, I know how YouTube can monetize me. I'll talk about that in a second, Demon Slayer. That's a great question. So anyhow, now I've got no shipments going out. I'm missing money in the bank and I don't know what to do. I don't know what to do. So I get to thinking about it. And the truth is this food I was selling, the survival food, it didn't taste that good. Let me get a drink here. I mean, it just wasn't the best thing in the world. So I said, what if I could start my own food company? What if I could manufacture my own? Now I didn't have a manufacturing plan or any of that like I do now. But what I did was I found a company that would do my recipes, you put them in a bucket and put my name on them. And I decided to sell that. So I started a company called Survival Cave Food. Now, if you were to Google Survival Cave Food now, you would find probably 24 million hits for that company. It's huge at this point. And we do really well. So I set up the site, it said survivalcavefood.com and I sat back and I waited for the money to roll in, roll in and guess what didn't happen? No money rolled in. No money rolled in. I mean, it was like I wasn't selling anything. And I was like, well, what do I do? So then I started like searching around the internet and I started finding all these survival sites and they had so much traffic. I mean, they were getting like thousands or millions of people come into their website every month and I didn't have that. So I said, well, I need to learn SEO which is search engine optimization. So I started to study that. And as I studied that, I learned how to do SEO and I started SEO in my site. But the thing was, I mean, there were millions of sites. I mean, the chance of me getting on page one was almost zero, no matter how much I SEO'd it. So I was frustrated, so I failed at that too. And the reason I tell you about all these failures guys is because you're gonna run into them. You gotta ignore the failures, you're learning from them. It's data, that's all it is. So anyhow, I started drooling over all these other sites that had thousands and millions of people going to those sites and I was like, wow, if I could just get traffic like that and then this light bulb goes off. And I'm like, I can, I can get traffic like that. What I'll do is I'll contact those sites and what I'll do is I'll ask them to put my product on their site. I'll sell it to them at wholesale and I'll ship it out to their customer when they sell it. That way they've got no investment and they can put the products on their site, they've already got the traffic, all they're gonna do is make money. So I said, that's perfect. Everybody's gonna wanna do this. So I started calling these sites and they had never heard of me. They had never heard of me. And they were all just saying, no, I don't think so, I don't know who you are. No, thank you, I don't know who you are, no, thank you. And I mean to the tune of maybe 200 a day would tell me no, 200 a day. Now, here's the question. Can you handle 200 people a day telling you no? I literally did, I think close to 10,000 sales calls and emails out to people. And I was emailing every day too. So it was really frustrating, really frustrating. And then one guy said, I'm gonna make a website and I wanna put your product on it. I was like, oh my God, this is great. So I made this little yellow folder and I put all of his information in, he had an application, I put it in my file cabinet and I'm like, I got my first one. And that was enough to really make me feel good. Now, little did I know that guy never would build a website and he never would sell any of my product, but it kept me motivated. I felt that small success in getting somebody, somebody to say they would sell my product. Let's see here, Jerry Clemens. So you became the drop shipper. I did, I did become the drop shipper. So I know that area pretty well and I am to this day. But anyhow, it motivated me. I got this first guy, so I started calling more and more and then I did get a couple more, then I did get a couple more. And then what I started doing is I would call a company and I would say, hey, you wanna put our product on your site because look at this, it's on this site, this site, this site. And then they could look on the internet and see my products on other site and they were like, oh, it must be a good product then. We'll put it on our site. So that worked out pretty well. And I started selling my product on all these sites and I started making money. But then a problem arose and the problem was, they all said, this is all freeze-dried and most of this is vegetarian. And what we want is like proteins. So I checked out freeze-dried meats and it was awful. I mean, they were like granules of things. You'd add water to it and it would turn into this mush. I mean, it was terrible. So I figured out a way to canned meats and that's one of our number one products now. And have long-term shelf life and that became survival cave food canned meats. And we did beef, chicken, turkey, pork and ground beef. And we do to this day and just over, gosh, I wanna say in 2015 it was, we hit over $100,000 in a single day. $100,000 in a single day. Now that ain't bad, okay? 100 grand in a single day. Now, do we do 100 grand every single day? No, we don't. But I hit it and that was beyond my wildest dreams that I could do that. And also about that time what happened is somebody said, hey, can you show me how to make money online? This is, this is 2015, 16 I think. And I was like, yeah, and I started helping them and helping them. And somebody pulled me aside and says, hey, you could actually sell your knowledge at this point. I'm like, well, how would I do that? And they said, do a course. I was like, well, I've never done a course before. I don't know anything about courses. They're like, oh no, just do a course and put it on ClickBank. Now at the time, ClickBank wanted to sell physical products and they said, we don't have a course on how to sell physical products and you sell physical products. I was down in Cancun actually at a meeting with them over a bunch of other people and they were like, if you do a course, we will help you promote it. We'll do like a webinar with you and we'll help promote it. So I did do the course. It took me like nine months to write this course and I'd never done a course. And we did a webinar. I did it with Justin Adlin who was with ClickBank University. He's no longer there anymore. But we did this webinar and within 72 hours we did I think $372,000 in sales on this course. $372,000 in sales. And then I realized there's this market for courses. And then I did one called Webcash Academy. Webcash Academy was me training actual businesses local in San Diego and I filmed myself training them. And then I did Ecom Road and Ecom Road was one that showed you how to set up a Shopify store if you wanna do that. Because I had all this knowledge in all these different areas that other people wanted. So I started doing courses and then people had said, well, we need traffic. So, what do you have to help us get traffic? I'm like, well, I run Facebook ads and I was like, ah, there it is, Facebook ads course. So I started Facebook ads university and before you know it, I had this whole array of courses that I was doing. Now, the cool thing is people wanted to start paying me for private coaching. So I charged like $495 a month and you got like two phone calls, three phone calls a month. I can't remember what it was. I think it was two. And then I couldn't handle all the people that wanted to do that. So I went to $1,000 a month and I went to 1,500 and then I went to $3,000 a month. And my last client I took on paid me $62,000 for 90 days for one call a week. Yeah, $62,000. One call, it's four calls a month, okay? And I did a little bit of research, worked for them on the side. It was a major credit card company and I did marketing for them. Now, think about this, guys. Just think about this for a moment. And now I have other courses. I have a YouTube channel here now. It's monetized. I make money every month off this YouTube channel, which is awesome. I think that's pretty cool in itself because there's advertisers on here. But think about this. If I had quit when I wasn't making money on cell phone cases, what would have happened? If I had quit when I was only making 100, 200 bucks on my camping supplies, what would have happened? If I had quit when that company that was making that freeze-dried food for me couldn't ship anymore and essentially put me out of business, what would have happened? If I didn't sell my freeze-dried food, in other words, I didn't contact all these websites out there and say, hey, put it on your site, what would have happened? If when they came to me and said, hey, JR, we need protein. And I would have said, I don't have any, I don't have any, nothing I can do. Instead of coming up with my canned meats, what would have happened? Now, I will tell you during the pandemic, we have been crushing it. I mean, frigging crushing it. I mean, five-figure days every day, which is nice. It's really nice, guys. But the thing is, if I had quit somewhere along the way, it would have never happened. And that's what I'm telling you. When you do something and it doesn't work, that's just data. That's just data. The other day, Elon Musk shot off this spaceship thing 160 feet long and he's gonna use this to send people to Mars and it came crashing down into a fiery ball and he tweeted, great job, guys. We have some awesome data now. Great job, guys. We have some awesome data. And what he meant by that was, we learned what didn't work, okay? And there aren't that many things that don't work, okay? There's a bunch of things that do work. And if you keep going through these things that don't work, you'll get to the ones that work. I mean, you essentially will get there. Now, let's see here. By the way, may I know if US Amazon can order outside their territory? We only ship our canned meats in the US. I don't know about the rest of the products on Amazon, but we only ship in the US. We have shipped to China. However, we don't really ship to China. We ship it to a port in Long Beach and then they ship it over there. So I don't know what they do with it. So that's that. So guys, ask some questions about that. Tell me if that sounds motivational to you because, I mean, into this day, I can't type, by the way. I'm still like, you know, with a couple, two, three fingers on each hand. But tell me in the chat if that sounds like something that's motivational to you. And I'm looking at my phone here and I just made some money on PayPal, which is nice. I got little notifications. And somebody says, you know, I turn those off because those are bothering you all day long. I'm not PayPal money. Doesn't bother me at the least. Okay, so that's kind of my story. How I started with a hundred bucks, okay? And I had a tremendous amount of failures along the way. And also we do want to give away another gift card here. What do we want to do? Somebody's actually asking for ones in the US and I do have this one here in the US. Christine, you could get this too if you're still in there. This one here is Starbucks. Okay, this one is $15 to $500. And I'm gonna go ahead and open this one up here real quick. And let's see here. I got more guys. So if you're outside the US, don't worry, I got some other ones. But I'm gonna open up this one first. Get your Starbucks card here. And when you get this, put it in the comments section so I know you got it. All right, what do we got here? Here it is. But you ready? You wanna hold it up? I got the Amazon one coming, Morad. It's coming. I got one. All right, there's the number right there. Can you see it? Shoot, I can't see it and read it. It is 615-0, 0-0-3-3-9-4-5-6-4-1-2-0. 7-8-3-4-6-7-9-3. Okay, once again, guys. Think I got that pretty close. 6-1-5-0-0-0-0-3-3-9-4-5-6. Go to that link there. See that? So there's that link there. B-I-T dot L-Y-4, such as gift card JR. 0-0-3-9-4-5-6-4-1-2-0. And 7-8-3-4-6-7-9-3. Let me know when you get the gift card. Put it in the comment chat section. I guess chat section, not comment section. Put that in the chat section right there. We got people asking for Amazon. I just did Apple. So, Demon Slayer, do the Apple one. Are you going to do an Apple card? I just did an Apple card. The Apple card I just did. Oh wait, no, no, no, I didn't do Apple. This is, excuse me, this is Starbucks. I just did one Apple card. I think I'm gonna do Amazon Next. If, if you ask some good questions in the chat, that's what I want. And the reason I want that guys is because I want you to start your own business. You don't have to work for anybody in 2021. You don't have to, I'm telling you. I know you think that I'm special or I got lucky or whatever. I'm telling you none of those things would have happened if I didn't get started. And I know you may be thinking, I'm gonna get started and nothing's gonna happen JR. Yes it will, yes it will. If you get started, if you keep working on this, it will happen. It will happen guys. You're gonna start seeing a bunch of my ads on YouTube. So if you follow me, you're gonna see ads. And I'm gonna talk about this masterclass. And guys, this masterclass will blow your socks off. It is amazing. It walks you through all these steps that you need to do. And by the way, this class is free. Let me check out some of this. Jerry Clemens, what's up Jerry? Your story sounds great, which would be better for a beginner. Affiliate marketing, drop shipping or Shopify. I gotta tell you, they're all good. They're all good. And that's the problem I had and that you're having is like, what exactly do I do to start? Just start. Just start. I have a course called Ecom Road that is really good for Shopify and setting up your Shopify store. Affiliate marketing. I have a lot of free videos on that. I sell on ClickBank and have for a number of years I've made a lot of money there. Let's see what the other one, what should be affiliate marketing, drop shipping. Drop shipping is really kind of hard to Shopify if you want. You can use Aliexpress to do that. I go over that example in the new ad. I've got comment out on YouTube. You'll see me doing that. Where I actually show how to use Aliexpress in conjunction with Shopify. So, you know, they're all good. Just start. Start, man, start Jerry. I'm telling you. Why you have shows affiliate marketing other than business field? Well, I didn't just choose that. More ad, I do affiliate marketing where I sell other people's stuff. I do drop shipping where I do drop shipping from China. I do my own drop shipping where I drop ship my products for other people. I do courses. You know, I've done coaching. I don't really do coaching anymore because it takes up too much of my time. And I just, I would have to charge too much at this point. You know, I got to where I was at like $3,000 an hour which is a little high. And I just, I don't want to do it. It just uses up my time. Let's see. Somebody wants, just Roblox wants a Netflix card. Here's the deal. I got to find them. You know, they don't always have these cards in the grocery store I go to. I don't see Netflix. Okay, so that's the problem with that. Why you have shows? Okay, I did that one. US movies, okay. Okay, you're all hung up on movies. You should be hung up on making money online. I'm telling you, that's the whole purpose of this. Don't show up here for free gift cards. Okay, show up here to really make some money. Use this stuff to your advantage, guys. And you can be giving away gift cards. And these gift cards don't mean anything to me. They just don't. Okay, what if you made so much money that you could give away money and it didn't mean anything to you? The reason I do that is to entice you to watch these videos so that you will actually do something and make money, man. I love hearing my students make money. Excuse me, so important to me. Movie review mom. I got the Starbucks card. $15, woohoo, thanks. Good job, movie review mom. And I wanna know what you're working on. Come on, man. I know you got a channel. I got to check out your channel again. Hello, JR from Columbus. Wayne Charles, what up, dude? Haven't seen you in a while. Are any of your courses in the inner circle specifically on how to affiliate marketing? You know, I don't really have an exact, I'm gonna do it. I'm gonna do it, believe me. I don't have an exact one, but on this channel, I go through it a lot. So if you just go to my channel and search affiliate, you're gonna find a lot of videos on that. And I'm eventually gonna put all that together. I have like three courses in the wings right now. I have how to sell digital products. I have a YouTube channel one, and I've got another one. I've worked on so many courses. They're just sitting there right now. So those will be coming out too. Is there a difference? This is Tina Atrina. Bullis, is there a difference in marketing traffic strategy when I make my YouTube videos where it asks what language, English versus English US? I live in the USA. I just, I pick English. I don't know. I don't, English, United States. That may have something to do with the region you're targeting. I just do the United States. It's all I do. Make sure you are optimizing your titles. And you're gonna need something like TubeBuddy to do that. You can't do this on your own. You need software to tell you if a title's good or not. And what TubeBuddy does, and there's a free link at the end of this video. You're gonna see it in the description section. You can download TubeBuddy for free. And if you use my link, if you ever decide to upgrade it, you can get a 30% discount, which is pretty cool. But you need TubeBuddy because you can type in a title and it'll tell you if that title is a good title. Like it's got this like meter thing and it'll show you if it's in the green or if it's in the red. And you can keep changing the title and tweaking it until you get it to where it's totally green, okay? So that's something I will tell you to do. Man, these are good questions, guys. They really are. Keep the questions coming and I'm gonna do this card in a second. Oh, Amazon, Amazon works anywhere. This one here is what? 15 to $500, but I want some more good questions. Good questions in there. And I love that you guys are really, really... If you need that Amazon card, Mr. J.R., me a Clark, I will be happy to provide you this card, but I want you to ask me a question about growing a business online. Yeah, you gotta buy it. You gotta buy it with your questions. Okay, that's all I'm asking you guys is to ask some questions. And the reason I want you to ask questions is twofold. First off, when you ask those questions, somebody else may have that question and you're gonna help them out and we're gonna help a lot of people. That's our main reason. Secondly, when you ask those questions there, it shows interaction with this video and when it shows interaction, YouTube will now show this video to more people after we end here today and more people will benefit from it. So my whole thing when I do these lives on Saturdays, guys, it's just to help you guys benefit. That's it. I mean, nothing more than that. I'm not getting anything out of this, okay? But that is a lot to me. When you guys make money and you start your business and you're able to go, man, I quit my job. I don't have to listen to her anymore. I don't have to listen to him anymore. I get to spend time with my kids. I can travel. I can wear what I want. I can eat what I want. I can live where I want. That really makes me feel good when you do that. How Google benefits on YouTube. Well, Google is YouTube. I mean, Google owns YouTube. YouTube is the second largest search engine in the world to Google. I mean, it's Google's number one and then it's YouTube. So if you search JR Fisher Training in Google, you're gonna see some of my YouTube videos and everything's going to videos nowadays, guys. So you gotta do videos for your business or whatever. Everything's going to videos. And I get a lot of SEO out of it. Trina, boys, should I keep my original video MP4 on my computer once it's on YouTube? I'm trying to free up my computer space and I think I don't need it anymore, right? YouTube is kind of like a free backup, right? No, no Trina, not true. Not true because things can go wrong on YouTube, okay? And I get that you're trying to free up space. I don't keep them on my computer either. You can do one of two things. You can get an external drive and save them there or you can save them online at Dropbox. I use Dropbox. Dropbox is amazing. I have all my videos there. I've got hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of videos. And understand on this channel, I've done over 700 videos, guys. That's a bunch of videos, okay? But you can upload them to Dropbox. That's what I would highly recommend. They have a free plan and then once you max that out, you pay like $10, something like that, well worth it. But I would use Dropbox and please, please, please don't delete them. Keep them, you never know when you're gonna need them. For affiliate marketing, better or easier to sell digital products or physical goods from say Amazon or Walmart. You know, it's what you like doing. You know, I'm gonna tell you, you can do stuff on Amazon and Walmart, but you know, the commissions are really small there. Like I have affiliate links in the description on this video, but I think I get like 5% or 3%. It's not a lot, okay? I mean, it's more, so I do it. But you know, if you do a product, let's say on Clickbank and you market one of those courses or you know, fat burning things or whatever the heck it is, you can get 50%, 80%, 90% sometimes of the sale price. So you can get a lot of money off marketing affiliate products from things like Clickbank, that's really good. Are you willing to share some good affiliate sites or deals and do you take one affiliate on Survival Cave Foods? Yes, I do. For a while I didn't in the beginning of the pandemic because everybody went to sell our products. You do have to have some type of site that deals in survival, you know, so you got to start something like that because we want it marketed to the right people basically. And the good sites for affiliates, I would say would be Clickbank is a really good one. Share a sale is a good one. Share a sale is a really, really good one. I highly recommend Share a sale. JV Zoo is a good one. I think it's Commission Junction is another one. So there's a bunch of them out there that are really good. I think Clickbank's number one, but I mean the other ones are very, very good too. I like share a sale a lot. We sell a lot from share a sale. People actually sell, and that, yeah, okay. You could be an affiliate for us, Wayne, through share a sale. All you do is sign up at share a sale and you can market our product through there. That's right, I forgot about that. You don't have to be like a full fledged affiliate and have a survival website and all that. You can just market the product. So yes, you can do that. Selling courses for years, did it increase the competition? I'm not quite sure what you mean. Selling courses for years. Did it increase the competition? I don't know what you mean by that. Rephrase that a little bit if you don't mind. Mia, just rephrase that a touch. Which is the most effective video to put in the end screen on YouTube? A playlist or a specific video or the newest video or best reviewer? You know, that's a great question, Trina. And I've played around with this a lot. And what I figured out is that Google and YouTube is smarter than me. So since they're smarter than me, they've got this algorithm. And this algorithm looks at the person that's watching your video, and then they go, hmm, I wonder what would be the next best video for them? So the answer to that one is best reviewer. I would definitely pick best reviewer. Those other things work good, but if you let a YouTube pick it, you're gonna find that viewer will stay on your channel longer and you'll get more views. So I would say best reviewer because they're smarter than us. I mean, how do we know? What do we know? We're just doing videos, right? What is the best choice of store where you can buy a best product? You know, I would say Aliexpress is a great place because they'll ship it out for you. You can go to Aliexpress, you can find a product, you can go market that product, sell that product. When you sell it, make sure you let the people know it'll be two to three weeks for delivery or whatever. When you sell it, then you go back to Aliexpress and buy it and send it to their address. You didn't invest any money whatsoever. You can automatically do this through Shopify. I have a course that shows you how to do this. It's called Ecom Road. You can look up Ecom Road and find links, I'm sure, to it. Selling a course that you have made with a lot of important info, don't that increase the competition? Competition of what? You're talking about other people? Who are you talking about? Oh, you mean competition for me? Oh, I don't care about that. I don't care about that at all. No, there's plenty of money to go around. Guys, there's seven billion people in the world. If I have one person selling something that I don't care, I want you to be successful. I really do. Matter of fact, it lends itself to the credence. If they see a lot of people selling the same things in a niche, they're like, wow, it must be good. I'm gonna buy it. So no, that doesn't bother me at all. I don't mind competition. Thanks, that's super helpful advice. Great, Trina, I'm glad. And Trina, I'd like to know what your channel is. Send me a message. I'm gonna check out your channel if you have a channel. And by the way, guys, I'm gonna give everybody a little information here. I want you to go to everybody's channel that you see that's putting comments here and subscribe to them. Subscribe to them. So I want you to go to Trina Voice. If she has a channel, I want you to go to Mia Clark. I want you to go to Jess Roblox. I want you to go to Wayne Charles. All these people who are nice enough, Jerry Clemens, go to their channel and subscribe. And I'm thumbing through here now. Of course, we have, you know, more ad, I don't know if you have a channel, but go to these people's channels, guys, and support them. I mean, just go and click and subscribe. Like their stuff, turn on notifications for them. Let's see here, Jerry Clemens, is it possible to do affiliate marketing without a website trying to boost your engagement stats? Yeah, I mean, you don't have to have a website. Matter of fact, I recommend Cartra and not building a website in the beginning and testing some products by building sales pages in Cartra. Now, at the end of this training I'm doing today, in the description, I'm gonna do this next, by the way, and before I answer more questions, in the description section, you're gonna find a link for Cartra. Go there, watch the video. And once you watch the video, you can get a trial of Cartra for $1. And it's hard for me to explain all the things Cartra does, but I can tell you I use it for all my marketing, for my survival food company, for my courses, for coaching. Everything I do is Cartra. It's a great, great tool. Okay, you guys ready for this? You want this card? Put it in the comments if you want this Amazon card. $15 to $500. If you want this Amazon card, there's a link there on the screen you can go to so you can get this card, okay? $15 to $500. I gotta put it at an angle, because if I don't, I can't see it. $15 to $500, okay? If you want that card, put it in the comments. You want that card, okay? I'm gonna start opening it right now. Right now. Amazon's good everywhere, right? I don't think any place it's not good. Let's see here. Let's see here. Let's see. Almost eight billion now. Oh, just for blocks, there's almost eight billion people. I haven't counted lately. They're going at it. I thought they were all dying off because of coronavirus. It's like, this coronavirus, and I know it's a real thing and I feel bad because a lot of people died, but sometimes the numbers don't make sense. I mean, it just don't. It's like in San Diego, I think we got three million people. And they said that they've done 2.1 million tests. I don't, I think my wife's got a test because that was because she had a doctor's appointment. But I don't know, the majority of the people I know haven't had a test, but they say, they say that they did that many tests out. And I think at some point, right? Oh, she's gonna have something to scratch with. I think at some point, everybody's gotten tested or got it or something. I'm trying to scratch this off, but he's giving me a second minute. I have to use my fingernail. Okay, there he goes. My fingernail's working. I'm scratching it off now. See, it is coming off there. If you want to start writing that down, that's when it's starting off to be. Okay. All right, get in there. You know, I keep saying to myself, bring a coin in here to scrape these off. I never carry any coins with me because I don't spend cash. I always use my card for everything because I get points. You know, it's like, I don't want to use cash because I don't get any points on cash. So, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh. This is gonna be a good one, guys. Are you ready for it? If you're ready, put in the block and a chat box there that you're ready. But that you're ready because I got it right here. You see it? Okay, one second, we get the rest of this off here. All right, now seriously, I'm holding up, blogging up for you. He could use it. I was messing with you. Okay, this is Amazon Firecard. It's worth $15 to $500, I think. Is that right? Is that right? Yeah, $15 to $500. And all you gotta do is put in this code here on your Amazon account. Of course, you wanna go and go to that link there, the BIT.ly, Ford such gift card, JR. And here it is. Are you ready? Put it, you want it. Put that you want it. Put that somebody type in there real quick, Amazon yes. Matter of fact, everybody type in there, Amazon yes, Amazon yes. Come on, let's get the chant going. Amazon yes. I'm gonna get a sip of tea here. I'm waiting, I'm waiting for Amazon yes, Amazon yes. Let's do it guys, Amazon yes. What is, Trina is saying, my channel is called Trina Voice. I started it many years ago before I understood anything. So there's a ton of random stuff, but now I'm focusing on my author interviews and advice. That's really good. And the thing is with the YouTube channel, Trina, and I'm glad you said that, you have to have a niche. And I didn't take it seriously either. I think I started mine like in 2015, but I didn't take it seriously. I'd like randomly put some videos up and I didn't optimize titles and I didn't put tags, I didn't put any description, I didn't do anything right. Then in December a year ago, I got serious. I said, you know what? I'm gonna do what I'm supposed to do. I'm gonna learn how to do YouTube. And within seven months, eight months, this channel was monetized. I make money every month now. I'm building a really good following. Oh, there it is. I see it, Amazon, you gotta put Amazon, yes. Not just Amazon, Amazon, yes. And the channel is growing now. And my wife did the same thing and hers is growing, she's monetized. So we have cash that comes in every month off this YouTube channel, which is really nice. Doesn't mean that you don't want to not support it. Hit that dollar sign there and you can support this channel. It's in the chat section. There's a little squiggly dollar sign and you can support this channel with a dollar, $5, $10, a million if you want. If anybody wants to give me a million bucks, there it is, there it is. Gotta give you a chance. You gotta ask. Oh, you gotta ask. Okay, card, card. You want me to quit talking, so you can see this card, I'm sure. All right, there, there, let me see that again. I wanna, there it is. It is, I'm tilting it because I can't see it to read it. A-Q-R-Y-E-X-R-Y-3-H-X-F-7-M-M, okay? So once again, A-Q-R-Y-E-X-R-Y-E-X-R-Y 3-H-X-F-7-M-M. Morad says, Amazon, yes! All right, one more time, one more time. It's going, going, gone. Somebody's gonna get it. A-Q-R-Y-E-X-R-Y-3-H-X-F-7-M-M, got that? Got it? All right, very cool. Somebody's gonna get that. Put in that chat section when you get it. I wanna know who got it. I wanna know how much you got because it's $15 to $500, let's see what you got. Now, I want you to put in there what you thought of my story today, okay? What did you think of my story? Just for a blitz, that was fast. Did you not see it? Did you not see it just for a blitz? I'll do it again. A-Q-R-Y-E-X-R-Y-3-H-X-F-7-M-M. Trenus says somebody got it. Who got it? Who got it, guys? Who got this card? I wanna know, I wanna know. Put in there who got it. I'll give away more cards next time if you put in there. More faster than Apple. Oh, wow, someone else got it. Congrats to them, Jerry. Jerry, you're a good sport. I really appreciate it, that's cool. Let's see, someone else got it. Wayne Charles said, who got it? Tell me who got it, man, you're here. Let everybody know if you got it or not. Come on now, let us know. We want to know. Last one I got, Apple, just Roblox, L-O-L already redeemed, at least I got the Apple. Oh, okay, you got the Apple. Who got this? Tell me who got it. Oh, there it is, Morad got it. Got it, Mr. J.R. Awesome, and you asked for this, didn't you, Morad? And you thought you would ask for this and I wouldn't do it, and I did do it. You know why? Because I wanna support you guys. Make sure you support us, okay? Make sure you support us. And if you can't financially support us with that little dollar sign there in the chat section, support me by asking questions. Support me by subscribing to this channel. Oh my God, I haven't said subscribe to the channel. You gotta subscribe to the channel. Hit the big button down there and ring the bell, turn on all bell notifications. So that, every time I do a video, you are notified when I do it. You don't have to come looking for it. You won't waste time. You're not gonna miss anything that way. Make sure you get it. You gotta turn on all bell notifications. If that button down there is red, that's a warning to you. That's a big warning. You need to click it and turn it gray. It's a warning sign that you haven't subscribed. And that bell won't pop up until you click it. So if you're looking for this, you won't find it until you subscribe. You gotta subscribe here. Let's see. You got 3.97,000. I subbed. Thank you so much, Demon Slayer fan. I really appreciate it. Make sure you guys subscribe to Demon Slayer fan. Make sure you do that. JR, you use Cartree, yes. What about ClickBank? Is there a difference? Yes, two different things. Now, Cartree can do some of the things that ClickBank does. ClickBank can't do a quarter of what Cartree does. ClickBank is an affiliate site. An affiliate site for you to put your offers up there and for other people to sell them, or for you to find offers to sell. That's all ClickBank is. And they've got some little software things, but really, they're negligible. Cartree is a complete e-mail, or a complete marketing portal for digital marketers. So it's got sales pages. It's got places. You can put courses in there. You can upload videos there. You can make sales pages. You can do sales funnels. It's an e-mail marketing platform. It does have an affiliate marketplace, too, where people can sell your products. You can sell other people's products. I mean, Cartree is the deal, guys. And you'll want to go to the description with my link because if you do that, you can get a trial for $1 of Cartree, $1. So you want to use my link, and you'll find it in the description at the end of this training today. I've noticed that Morad always wins the Amazon card. Trina, he's fast. What can I say? I mean, he's fast. Let's see. Morad says no. Now he's asking. He says no. I got some, actually. Okay, so we didn't get all of them. So, cool. Guys, if you got any more questions, I'm going to wrap this up. So put those questions in there. I'd like to entertain those if I can. You guys have been an awesome group, really. I mean, it means so much because I get out of bed, I come in my office, I sit down, and your support is what makes me want to do this. If nobody listened, if nobody asked any questions, if nobody wanted the gift cards, I would get discouraged. But you guys make it really all worthwhile. I really appreciate you guys more than you know. It helps me grow my channel. You're supporting me indirectly because I get more views. The more views I get, the more ads they run, the more ads they run, the more money I make. So, man, guys, I really appreciate you. I can't tell you how much I appreciate you guys. You guys, each and every one of you mean a lot to me. It's not the audience that means a lot to me. It's each individual person. Trina, you've been great. Amazon is the card I especially want, but Moran is so fast. Let's see, to monitor LOL. Okay, guys, like I said, if you have any more questions, stick them in there. I'm getting ready to shut this thing down. Shut it down. Be able to look out for my master class. You're gonna see it all over YouTube. Can you do a Google Play in the next giveaway? I don't see why not. As long as I can find one. See, that's the only limitation I have is when I go to the gift card section in the store, they don't have them, they don't have them. I never see Netflix. I just never see it. Maybe I need to go to new places. Maybe I'll try Walmart or something this weekend and see if I can find something there. I just don't see them, but I'll be happy to do that. Okay, guys, I appreciate it. If you like this training, put something in the chat. Say, hey, I like this. Put it in the chat if you want me to train on a particular subject or thing. I'm hoping the story I told you today is motivational. I heard a few stories like that where people made money online and it just made me wanna do it so bad. And all these years later, almost 12 years later, it's 11 years now, almost 12 years later, I've literally sold millions of dollars with the products, both digital and physical. And I would have never done it if I didn't have that thing in the back of my head going, hey, man, if they could do it, why can't I? And I didn't care about any failures. I just didn't care. I'm just gonna keep going. I'm just gonna keep, I don't care. I'm gonna keep going. And you gotta really kinda have that attitude with everything in life. I work out through four or five days a week, depending on what my schedule is. And I never wanna do it. And it's always hard. And I'm always thinking I can't do something, but I do it. I got on my exercise bike the other day and did two trainings. And I went out in the backyard and I had this pull-up bar. I did my pull-ups. I do my push-ups. And you gotta do these things. You gotta stay physically healthy or you're not gonna be able to do anything mentally. If you're physically unhealthy, it kills everything. But the point is, none of it's easy. None of it's easy. But the reward is so much greater than the pain. And it's like with exercise. Exercise is hard and difficult and uncomfortable. However, the pain of being sick and weak is a lot worse, a lot worse than an hours worth of discomfort doing exercise. So keep that in mind. JR, you were fantastic. As always, appreciate the information in your time. Thank you so much, Wayne. I appreciate you, buddy. I really, really do. Means a lot. Morad, you had that story with some motivation. Keep going, Mr. JR. Thank you so much. Jerry says, I haven't posted to my channel in years debating restarting it. Don't debate. Don't debate, Jerry. Not kidding you, man. What if I told you, if you worked for the next year, okay, just the next year on your channel that you would have income coming in for the rest of your life? I don't know if it's the rest of your life, but for the next 20 years, would it be worth it? And you would say, well, of course it would be. Then do it. This is the time to do it. There's never been a better time. Man, I'm glad I got a fire under my butt somehow. You know, and I know what it was. I had a friend who was 26 years old and she was making like $20,000 a month in ad revenue and she didn't do any advertising. I'm like, how are you doing that? She goes, I make videos on YouTube and I just post them. I'm like, yeah, I gotta do that, okay? So now I'm in there now making money, not making what she's making, but I'm making that. So guys, thank you so much. I'm gonna go ahead and shut this down. I really appreciate you guys being here. I will be here next Saturday. I will be entertaining any of your questions and comments. If you put those in the chat and you have something particular you want me to talk about, I'll certainly do it. But man, I thank you guys so much for being here. It's really made my morning. I hope it's made it a little bit for you and I will see you next week. Thank you.
